" It seems you have walked so much, mmm? " a voice suddenly calls Shiro, making him turn around as he sees a Racoon-like creature.

< System Scanning >

< Name: Taneku Kotaro >

< Roots: Tanuki, Nekomata >

< Level: 40 >

" Oh... " Shiro awkwardly sees him.

" Have I been trespassing something? " Shiro asks politely while looking around, seeing all the creatures' eyes are on him, making him frightened.

< Subject 'Taneku Kotaro' begins to feel suspicious of the User. >

" Suspicious? Why!? " Shiro asks the System as he then sees Kotaro sniff.

< Subject 'Taneku Kotaro' sniffs at the User. >

" Your scent... "

" Mph! " Kotaro's eyes began to widen, and his tongue began to droll, as well as the others around him.

< Subject 'Taneku Kotaro' began to feel hungry after sniffing the User's scent. >

< Subjects are beginning to attack the User. >

< The Situation has changed >

< WARNING! >

< WARNING! >

< Boss Encountered! >

" 'Boss'!? " Shiro asks as the creatures begin to attack him out of nothing.

...

( Meanwhile. )

Akafushi is fixing the hole Shiro just made earlier, she sighs.

" After I finished this, I better give Shiro some proper introductions for the others. "

" Wait a minute, he just left..., didn't he? " Akafushi suddenly remembers, she suddenly felt something bad.

" Oh no... "

" I forgot... "

" Ah! " Shiro shouts as some of the Nekomatas attack him, he brushes them off with a slap, that hurts them.

< CRIT DMG >

" C-R-I-T... D-M-G...? " Shiro asks as the System explains.

< It stands for 'Critical Damage', the System refers to a type of damage dealt by the User or the enemy, a damage that is significantly higher than normal. When an attack results in a critical hit, it inflicts a greater amount of damage than usual, often causing a noticeable impact on the target's health or status. >

< Just look at the Nekomatas' [HP] (Health Point) >

As the System said it, Shiro then saw the Nekomata he just punched, it greatly reduces their HP,

" Ah...! " Shiro sees this, he didn't mean to.

" I'm sorry, I didn't mean- "

< User Shiro, Az- bzt bzt... >

"( Heey... brat... )"

"( Yooouu... should... worryyy... about yourself... )" a voice suddenly came inside his mind, giving him a pause for a sec.

"( Who is- )"

" Idiot! " a voice suddenly shouted Shiro, making him receive a powerful attack that made him slammed, for he was plunged by the very thing he should fought for.

" Tasty... " Kotaro plunged at Shiro as he quickly grabbed his hand and...

* Kotaro bites Shiro's hand. *

" Ouch! " Shiro felt it, but the pain is...

"( It didn't hurt much... )" Shiro feels it and sees the System showing that his HP is just being depleted.

< User HP-2 >

" Huh? " Shiro sees Kotaro who bites, who already bit him for a while, but sadly.

"( I see no blood coming out, and his skin feels hard. )" Kotaro thinks about this as he bites Shiro's hand.

"( This 'kid' what- )"

" Would you please take your teeth off!? " Shiro waves his hand, and he easily shakes Kotaro away from his hand, with just a simple hand wave, he unknowingly throws Kotaro away towards the walls, creating great destruction over the place.

" Pardon...? " Shiro sees it, seeing the <CRIT DMG> he did to the <Boss >, something he didn't think would happen from the start.

< Boss HP -55.000 >

< Boss 'Taneku Kotaro' felt intense pain in the back. >

< Boss received 'Stun' effect. >

< Boss will be disabled for 40 minutes. >

" Oh my my... " Kotaro's eyes whirl around as it happened, as Shiro damaged him that hard.

When it happened, all the beasts around suddenly received an effect over Kotaro's damage, receiving the 'Fear' effect as they suddenly felt an ominous energy unleashed around Shiro.

< Activating Skill. >

< Skill: [Azi Dahaka's Presence (Passive) -- LVL.Max] >

< Effect Unlocked >

< 'Fear' Effect >

< The effect had been unlocked thanks to Azi Dahaka's presence inside the User, thus, his very presence often releases an Ominous Devouring Aura. >

" Aaa..., really? " Shiro asks as he sees the creatures around him shiver before his presence.

...

< Boss Fight Completed >

< The Boss and the Opponents had been successfully incapacitated physically and mentally. >

< Continuing the Scenario >

" Uh, um... " Shiro prepares his mouth, it suddenly moves by himself thanks to his guilt after doing all of this to them.

" Um, hello everyone... " Shiro waves his hand, saying his greetings which the beasts respond with dread and fear, panic comes into their mind in every ounce of Shiro's movements. In their eyes, they all see some scary aura swirling behind Shiro, staring at them.

" Um, hello... "

" May I... "

" Wa- " Shiro quickly dodges an attack, which was a plunging katana blade that landed in front of him, something happened because he quickly dodges it.

" You demon... " said a voice behind him, another person just come to the place.

" How dare you say something after doing all of this destruction, you fiend? " the person then summons his katana back which immediately returns to him.

"( The sword, it flies by itself? )" Shiro sees it and wonders how it happened in the first place.

As the sword returned to the person, he swung it in style and pointed the blade toward Shiro.

" Umm... "

< WARNING! >

< Another Boss had appeared! >

"( Another one!? )"

"( I just fought some dangerous beast, now I had to fight this guy... )"

"( Argh, why this all happen after I woke up, what's going on!? )"

"( Who is he, and... )"

"( What's even a 'Boss'*, System!? )"
