Hunting

Souta found that he was in a huge dungeon or labyrinth. There's no way he could leave this place with his current strength. The goblin nest is just a small part of this labyrinth. Outside this nest, there's many strong monsters wandering around this place. They were fighting and hunting each other for food.

"What the hell is wrong with this place?" He cursed under his breath when he saw those powerful and terrifying monster.

He saw a giant frog, insects, kobold, etc. Each one of those could easily kill him.

He don't need the food right now as he still have some. He already left the goblin nest as he couldn't defend that place if there's monster went inside.

He looked at his hand that was holding a sword. He saw it trembling and he couldn't help it. It was his first time seeing a monster like that in real life. He didn't expect that it could terrify him to this degree.

He raised his other hand and slapped himself.

He need to calm himself right now or else he wouldn't be able to survive in this kind of place.

He took a deep breath and looked around at his surroundings. Then, he slowly walked ahead of him as he gripped the sword tightly in his hand. He raised all of his senses to the max right now.

After a few minutes of walking he saw a wounded Orc. A three meter tall Orc covered in blood while holding a dead wolf in his hand.

'This? It's a wounded Orc! Maybe I have a chance!' He thought while watching the Orc walked slowly.

The Orc was clearly exhausted. One can see it when it's walking. The way he way was something that people don't have strength do. It was swaying left and right.

'I can kill it but let's wait for a while.' Souta thought as he followed the Orc.

After a few minutes the Orc stopped. Souta looked around and saw that he was not the only one who's following the Orc.

There's two Kobold at his left side and there's a giant frog at his right side. He looked ahead of him and saw three huge wolves in front of the Orc.

'I don't have chance to this but maybe...' Souta thought as he turned his head and looked at the giant frog.

These monsters were too focus on the Orc in front of them that they didn't notice him. Even if they notice him they will probably leave him because of how weak he is. They didn't think that he could threatened them.

A weak monsters like him wouldn't wander here alone.

He slowly back away and silently approached the giant frog from the back.

Roar!!

He looked ahead and saw that the three wolves started to attack the Orc. It's an opportunity for him. While the giant frog was still busy waiting for it's turn to join he could use this chance to kill it.

He quickly jumped and use his sword to stabbed the giant frog in it's eye.

Wooosh!!

His sword pierced the giant frog's eye.

He grabbed his sword tightly because the giant frog was struggling right now. He raised his other hand and he hit the handle of the sword hard enough.

The sword went deeply as blood flow out of the giant frog's eye. It then slumped on the ground as it drew it's last breath.

[All stats have increase by 2!]

He heard a series of notification in his mind. Unfortunately he do not have a time to celebrate it as the two kobolds were looking at him.

He immediately stomped the giant frog and pulled out his sword. He swiftly jumped down and run away.

The two kobolds just watched him run away before they focused their attention on the corpse of the giant frog. This corpse will be theirs as the one who killed it already run away.

...

Souta just hide at the tall rock from thirty meter away from the scene. He couldn't hide his excitement.

"I did it! I really did it!"

He just killed a giant frog on his own. His gaming sense was tingling right now. He's having a hard time containing his excitement from leveling up.

Just a single giant frog gave him this much experience. He guess that frog was a powerful monster that he couldn't fight if it was not distracted.

"Calm down. Calm down. I need to calm down." He said to himself. He then took a deep breath and looked back.

He gulp when he saw that the Orc was still fighting the three wolves. Luckily he didn't try to kill it on his own or else he would've died right now.

He then saw the two kobolds pounced at the back of the Orc.

Orc clearly was a powerful monster. He could guess that Orc could decimated these monsters if it wasn't wounded.

"To survive in this place, I need to become powerful much powerful than Orc. It's survival of the fittest here. There's no law that could retrain other monster. If you're weak then they will hunt you." Souta muttered while looking at the battle.

"Huuu... Enough of the gloomy thought. Let's observed the fight here." He muttered and he focused on watching the battle. He watched it intently as he buried the information in his brain. The fighting style of those monsters the speed and strength they possessed were recorded by him.

Half an hour later, the two kobolds and three wolves managed to kill the Orc. They divide their loot in half and left. It's clear that these monsters possessed a little bit of intelligence to do that.

He know his limit so he didn't followed anyone of them. He just went back to the goblin nest and he will wait here. He already have some plans in his mind when he decided to comeback here.
