Next day,
Aaaooo...
Bang..Bang..
A monster that looked like a cow with a rodents head fell down. It had sharp fangs and a long whip like tail with a sharp fishing hook-like tail end.
This monster just died in his hand before it could even react. Joe was more and more becoming like a silent assassin. He could hide well and wait patiently for his prey to come close to him so that he deliver the finishing blow. That is how he killed this level 5 monster.
This is the third level 5 monster he killed today and It's only been past morning now. He could feel that monster were becoming more aggressive day by day.
At this time, he heard the voice of the System Spirit suddenly.
"Determined that the Gun Owner has reached reached level 2. Random lot drawing begins!"
"Ding! Congratulations, the Gun Owner obtained [white] Speed hindering Beretta 93R Submachine gun, Blue Cloak of Beginning !"
Joe was excited to level up. He also got a new gun. As soon as he thought, a box appeared with white thunder logo inscribed on it. Joe grabbed it and carefully opened it this time.
The Speed hindering 93R Submachine gun was revealed before his eyes.
It was white coloured magnificent gun with extraordinary specks of white thunder carved on it.
It's a 9mm caliber gun with almost 5 inches barrel length.
Gun Name: Speed hindering Beretta 93R Submachine gun
Grade: White
Description: This gun can reduce the target's speed to half for a minute. Depending on the level gap between gun owner and target the time can be lower too.
Joe was ecstatic. He felt more confident now. His first gun is a Shotgun with exploding firepower and now his second one is a submachine gun that can fire quickly and slow down enemy.
He can use it to delay his enemy and counterattack them.
Joe decided to get used to his new gun so that he can use it properly. So he started to practice target. If there is something that doesn't lack in here, then that is target's.
He can get a tons of target practice here.
.....
Blue Cloak of Beginning
This is a blue coloured cloak that can increase the wearers defence. It's light so It does not hinder his movements or weigh down. It also has 10% chance to drain vitality of attacker upon body contact and transfer it to owner or store it, has an upper limit to how much vitality can be stored. Recognises owner.
Information regarding Blue Cloak of Beginning was transferred to his mind. He was very satisfied. He wore the cloak. It was nice.
"System Spirit, how do I make it recognize me as the owner?"
"You need to use your blood to make it recognize you as the owner. "
Joe did as the System Spirit instructed him. Then, he made the cloak recognize him as the owner. Now he has One more lifesaving equipment.
With this cloak he can fight prolonged battle now. Stronger monster are hard to kill quickly so it ends up in a prolonged battle. But if he can drain their vitality during fight he will be able to cause damage to enemy to heal himself. This way he can fight monster with enough vitality for a longer time and maybe even gain the upper hand in the fight.
Fighting strength is always earned amidst battlefield. If one does not roam at the edge of death in the battlefield, they will never become strong fighter. But without ample preparation, heading into battlefield head-on is also a mark of stupidity. One must prepare his utmost before a life and death fight. In this regard, no matter what way or path one chooses, whether it be righteous or not is not something that matters.
Joe could finally level up to level 2. This is good. Also, the rewards are also astonishingly high for the current him so he is really in a good mood now.
Joe donned the Blue cloak of Beginning and took out the 93R Beretta. This thing has a control effect on the hostile situation. He can slow down enemy who are expert in speedy movement.
Now he has two guns, one skill and one equipment. This is plenty of guarantee for the moment.
.....
Joe was scouting the deeper area now. The more deeper he went, the more monster he came across. Their strength and number also increased as well. But he could fight them in a one on one battle.
It's hard to fight group battle so he tries to avoid them. But if the group strength is relatively low, then he engages them. Against group of monster his blink skill is very effective.
Sizzle sizzle
Joe heard the sound of something burning.
There was a huge flaming monkey napping on a boulder. It was as tall as a 12 feet in length, as well as it's body which is stout and staunch.
It's whole body fur was on fire. The fire was not yellow or red coloured, instead it was covered in dark blue flame.
The boulder had turned into a dark coloured patch of land due to the flame. Not a single blade of grass could be seen in the surrounding area.
Joe could feel the threatening aura this monster emitted, even if he was a distance away from it.
This was a level 7 monster. Not something he has the confidence to confront.
Joe thought if he should provoke this flaming monkey. But suddenly he saw the monkey open it's eye and glare at him.
'I have been discovered!!'
Joe felt a jolt in his mind. He felt he was stared by death in the Eye.
'How did it discover me? No, the problem is what to do now. Do I run or fight?'
Just as Joe was thinking this in his mind a roar sounded out.
Roar...
The flaming monkey got up from his napping position and took an aggressive stand.
'Well, there's no escaping now. Let's fight then.'
