Magical Beast (1)

After getting his leg treated, Link told Rai that it was an accident. she did not push further, as she didn't care much and only wanted to go back to sleep.

With his sore leg Link walked back home, snuck inside and jumped on his bed, exhausted.

…

As the sun rose, Rena and Lisa awoke, tip toeing their way out of the room. Rena was in a white dress while Lisa was in her cute fox pajamas that Anny made for her.

"Is Link still asleep?" Asked Anny, kissing both of them on the forehead.

"Yes mommy, should we wake him up?" Asked Lisa "He looks really tired"

"No need sweety, let him sleep, it has been a tough week for him," Said Anny, getting back to her daily routine.

*****

"YOU LOST??" Peter was sitting on a tree stump, yelling at no one. He was alone.

"It was Dana's fault" A hoarse deep voice spoke "She was playing with him too much until he caught her off guard."

"Shut up, I have an excuse, what about you?" a high feminine voice spoke.

"Both of you, shut the f*ck up" Said Peter, muttering under his breath, but it was enough to make both voices quiet down. "You lost the body?" He asked

"He beheaded it, we couldn't stay" The demonic voice said, its voice low as if it was scared.

"It took a long time to make that body. You useless idiots, now the plan will take longer to be completed because you couldn't kill a country bumpkin" Said Peter, anger on his face.

*****

*Smash

Lisa dropped a plate, breaking on impact. Anny looked over, before she could say anything, the room's door was forcefully pushed open, Link ran out, with his Hunting Knife in his hand.

"What happened" As he swept the room, looking for the cause. He saw his mother and sister standing there looking at him, startled.

"Link, everything is ok, put the knife down" Said Anny, approaching him.

Link took a deep breath, he thought that thing came back again and ran out, thinking that his family was in danger.

"Sorry mom" He put his knife back in his room, and walked out.

"Sorry Link, didn't mean to wake you" Said Lisa. Link looked at her, he couldn't believe the little girl he saw when he was a baby was so grown now, though she was shorter than him.

"It's ok, let me help"

After having breakfast, Rao went to work while Link started pacing in the spot where he fought the Demon last night.

"Where did that thing come from?" He thought, looking around the place for footsteps, but failing. Due to wind the dirt no longer had the Demon's trace, not even the fight last night had no evidence that it happened.

Link opened his Quests tab to check his new daily quests, but he frowned, not seeing the Daily Quests tab any more.

"What the hell? Where is it?" He asked.

<You're no longer a beginner, So the system will no longer provide you with Daily Quests>

"What? Why? What defines a beginner" Link asked.

<If you're below Level 5, you are considered a beginner>

"That's stupid" Link muttered, walking back to the house. "So i need to kill monsters and hunt if i want to Level up again"

After equipping himself, and avoiding his mother so that she wouldn't stop him. Link walked towards the forest, sighing.

"Maybe i should go deeper in. It's getting boring" He thought, looking around. Trees, grass and random bushes were everywhere, no monster in sight, convincing him even more to go deeper.

As he walked through the forest, he noticed that the insects were slowly fading, as he kept walking inside they kept getting less and less. But what caught his eye the most was the random broken trees and scratches.

Instead of getting worried or scared, Link was getting excited, thinking about the Exp he would get from whatever is in there.

The trees were slowly getting thicker and thicker, covering the sun rays more often and giving the place a creepy vibe. But Link was getting more and more excited, as on the ground he would find animal bones and random blood stains on the grass.

*****

Peter was standing in front of a house, looking down on the ground.

"Where the hell did he take it" He muttered, walking around.

"Where could he have hid it?" Dana spoke inside Peter's head.

*Click

As Peter looked up, he saw Lisa leaving the house, a bag in her hands, she was heading towards the village.

Peter's demeanor was gone, he put on a bright smile and called "Hey, Lisa" He said, waving.

He would normally get a wave back or something, but what happened next made him frown.

As Lisa looked at him, she looked scared, grabbing the bag tighter and ran back to the house, yelling for her mom.

Peter didn't understand why she would do that, he thought of something "Did Link figure out it was me and warned them?" He scratched his head, and turned away walking back into the small area with trees next to the house.

*****

Anny was humming, after asking Lisa to go buy some groceries, she sat down drinking a warm cup of red liquid. It was the juice of some fruit, it was Anny's favorite.

*Bam

"Mom, Mommy" Lisa ran back, calling Anny.

"What's wrong?" Anny stood up quickly, comforting her.

Lisa had some tears in her eyes but quickly calmed down.

Two days ago, she was playing with her usual friends, they loved to play hide and seek, Tag and House.

They got together at her friend's room, playing House.

Lisa was the mother, a tall Tom-Boyish girl was the father.

And Nana and Nina were the daughters.

As they were playing, they heard someone walking outside, near the window. The girls walked over, but sadly the window would only allow one person to look out, but before Lisa could do so, she heard someone talking to himself.

It was Peter, all she managed to hear him say was that he would rip the butcher apart.

She recognized the voice easily, as he was a bandit before so she couldn't really forget him.

Seeing him outside, she freaked out. She thought he knew that she heard him, Thinking he came to hurt her to keep her quiet.

After telling Anny, they both ran to the window, looking outside.

"He's not there anymore" Said Anny "Maybe you heard wrong?"

"No Mommy i'm sure" Said Lisa, grabbing Anny's hand.

"We have another problem then" A voice spoke from behind them, making the two of them jump. As they looked back, their faces paled. It was Peter, he stood there smiling at them.

*****

As Link kept going further inside, he felt like he was no longer in the same forest.

The trees were tall and marked by some claws, big and small. The grass was short and dirty and there was no noise, not even a small cricket.

Link walked around, looking for any tracks he could follow.

A set of what looked like paws caught his eye, as he started to follow them Link guessed that they belonged to a wolf, probably a Wind Wolf. As uncreative as names go, Wind Wolves are fierce Monsters, though not as tough as the Hell Bears.

Link wasn't worried, since with all the skills he has, he can easily manage to escape if it goes south. What excited him was the number of tracks.

One.

The wolf was alone, and for some reason it seemed to be injured, as the steps were unbalanced and with some blood here and there Link was sure.

As he got closer, a whimpering sound could be heard deeper inside the forest, Link slowly approached the spot, peeking from behind a tree.

A giant wolf, it would probably be the same height as a human adult if it stood on its hind legs, it laid on the grass, breathing heavily. It had White fur dirtied with some blood stains, three tails and bright blue eyes.

After Link made sure the area was clear, he approached it, slowly getting closer.

The wolf saw Link, it tried to get up but failed, whimpering even more.

"Hey there big guy" Said Link "That looks pretty bad"

Some deep holes were all over the Wolf's body, they looked like teeth marks, with some claw marks as well.

"What the hell did that?" Link muttered, checking the wound.

<You should kill it before it dies by itself. Put it out of its misery>

"Yeah yeah, i know." Link grabbed his knife.

<Wind Wolf Killed>

<500 Exp Has Been Granted>

<Level Up>

<1 Skill Point Available>

<1 Stat Point Available>

"That was easier than I thought," Said Link, touching the Wolf's body with his leg and storing it in his Inventory.

"Do the usual" He commanded.

<New Active Skill: Wind Blade>

<Wind Blade: Allow the user to shoot blades of wind to cut across the opponent. The skill goes up to 10 hits based on the skill Level. The cast time increases with higher Levels.>

<New Passive Skill: Wind Affinity>

<Wind Affinity: Gives the user the ability to use the Wind Element by instinct, when running or fighting, the Element will always be there>

<New Permanent Mana Points: +60>

"This is incredible. 500 Exp? What the hell is strong enough to kill this Monster" Said Link, adding his Stat Point to Agility and the Skill Point to Wind Blade.

*ROAR

A loud roar shook the trees, coming from far away.

Link felt a shiver going down his spine, the roar reminding him of the Hell Bears but stronger.

"What the hell is that thing?"

He turned around and ran, going around trees and jumping into some dirt to remove his smell to make it harder for the Monster to track him. He was sure it would be mad since he took away its prey.

"Shit" Link kept Blinking, teleporting forward, just to be sure that the thing wouldn't follow him back.

As he stopped to breathe, he heard it.

Earth shaking footsteps were coming his way, the loud sound of breathing could be heard.

"What the f*ck"
