The Adventurer System

Yumiro remembered the monster's outward appearance. Even though that monster has a human body, he couldn't make a mistake with it.

He smirked, then ready himself from the upcoming skirmish. Back in the Lynx dungeon, those parapaganda fish outstand with him in both strength and combative ability.

In his mind, this was the right time he will take his revenge.

"I didn't know if you're the one who attacked me back then that barely took my VR life. So, you should prepare because I'll give it back tenfold."

Hippie and Asarki were curiously looking at him. They wondered what this man spitting out of his mouth.

Hippie narrowly tilted her head and asked Asarki. "Do you have any idea what he's saying?"

Asarki shook her head. "No, this is the first time I heard him says that." She responded while looking at Hippie as she trying to regain her footing. "What are you doing?"

Even Hippie had trembling legs, she used the thick wall to slowly back on her feet. "Don't mind me, Asarki. I'll just assist Grim with this fight."

Asarki chuckled while patting her legs. "It's better if you sit back here. Grim probably wouldn't be happy if you do that."

"Eh? Why? We're in the same group. We should help each other." Hippie was confused, but still, trying to move towards the open area.

"He already said it. Don't intervene with his fight. That means he's confident with this match-up. You shouldn't worry too much, Grim is better than the other adventurers." Asarki leaned her back on the wall. Relaxing as she wanted to see how far Grim improved inside the Barlane dungeon.

Bam!

Hippie couldn't do anything as her legs were lost their strength. She then fell to the ground along with an uncomfortable smile on her face.

"Hehe, I'll just sit here. And watch his fight."

...

Back in the place surrounded by the high cliffs, and a small lake not too far away from them. That circumstance didn't surprise him since this type of monster inhabited near to the water resources.

A calm flow of water lake heard by their ears. Also, Yumiro was aware that this monster would move in no time.

At first, he pointed his index finger at the monster's body. To clarify, what was the precise identification of this monster.

[Zuraki fish!] - 2nd stage

"Tch, still no information, huh?" He clicked his tongue, then took out the kariki knife.

The battle with an adventurer and monster was started. However, the monster didn't make any move as it seemed the Zuraki fish observing this adventurer how he going to approach.

"If you don't want to move. Just die." Yumiro couldn't wait any longer as he charged directly to the monster that had 90 meters away from him.

[Dash!]

In just 3 seconds, he appeared in front of the monster. He already raised his left foot, then swung it downwards.

Swish!

By hearing the sharp sound, you could tell it was fast enough for the monster to didn't respond.

Thud!

His sipad boot perfectly landed on the center of the monster's head. Its facial expression change into an angry one as Yumiro land a critical hit.

Zuruki fish couldn't stop the adventurer's strength. So, it quickly whacked to the ground and made a small explosion.

Boom!

Yumiro didn't show any expression on his face. Just the intention that he needed to finish this fight as he opponent that wasn't worthy of his strength.

He held the kariki knife with his both hand, then cast one of his swordsman skill.

[Inflic--]

However, he immediately stepped back. After hearing a keen sound inside the thick brown dust.

Swish!

As expected, Zuruki fish straightforward its spears. On top of that, Yumiro's reflexes as he thought the monster couldn't fight back.

He had a small scratch on his face. At first, he didn't notice it until his red blood started to come out.

"I took a hit?"

But the most catchy part, when he felt pain in the place where he received damage. It was itchy, at the same time, it was like you cut your finger with a sharp knife. 

The brown dust faded away, then saw the Zuruki fish spitting the green blood out its disgusting mouth. It way more looked like, its mouth killing the other monsters in this forest.

Yumiro started to bounce a bit. "I take back what I said. But, you should prepare for my next attack."

[Physical transmission!]

[Dash!]

And all of sudden, Yumiro cast his enhancing strength all over his body. To increase his reflexes and dodge the monster's attack without any difficulty.

Swosh!

Zuruki fish blinking its eyes in confusion. As its vision at the adventurer easily vanished. It was looking around, at the same time, using its strong senses to detect the adventurer's location. However, it was no use since Yumiro didn't make any kind of sound.

Swish!

Then unexpectedly, a strong splashing of green blood on the monster's abdomen shocked the two adventurers watching the fight.

More likely, even Asarki and Hippie didn't know how the monster had a deep cut on its body.

Rawr!

The monster groaned loudly that shook the place and made the women adventurers covered their ears.

As they felt their ears ruptured from the monster's voice. In this case, the adventurer who had high mental strength couldn't mind this type of occurrence.

They just felt the monster's voice could destroy their eardrums. But the real thing was, their body transmitting information through their brain which made them respond. That means if you had sufficient mental strength you'll not experience what the two adventurers experiencing right now.

To be simple, it was like the [Fear] effect.

...

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The monster's body was full of deep slices coming from Yumiro's Kariki knife. Moreover, he saw the monster's health power was decreased by 10%. So he decided to continue his flashy attack

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Yumiro suddenly stopped after seeing the Zuruki fish slowly fell to the ground. Along with system notification.

Thud!

[You've received 98 exp from killing the Zuruki fish!]

"No, this is not the second evolution of Paraganda fish. Although their appearances are the same, they still, the Paraganda fish I fought before was stronger than this monster."

Zuriki fish was based for the adventurers that range their levels 15-20. It was a new monster released by the system that also had medium magical power planted on its body.

The thing here, Yumiro took a lot of experience and made stronger after fighting the dark elf. It was the exact explanation, why he could say that type of monsters were weak.

On the other hand, Asarki blinking her eyes in surprise since she never thought Grim could easily defeat the Zuriki fish.

By using her unique passive skill, Asarki this monster possessed by an explosive magic power that even her couldn't survive as a cleric.

She smiled, then placed her hand on her forehead. "Grim Draigh, you'll never forget to surprise me." She said while looking at the man that seizing the monster's core.

After that, red particles flew through the blues skies. At the same time, one day had easily passed.

...

On the 2nd day of June year of 2034 at exactly 8:00 am. The adventurers coming from the real world that they called earth. Entered the VR world, to witness the guild selection will happen.

On top of that, the adventurers heading to the same place. In the Adventurer's stadium that had accumulated capacity of million seats.

To describe it, it was way more bigger than all football stadium that exists on this earth.

Inside the stadium, the event personnel declared the participant of the guild selection was a total of 150 adventurers. Because even though the other adventurers reached level 20, still, they knew their capabilities weren't enough to choose by the guild leaders. 

Asarki were inside the stadium and looking at the vast transparent glass. Where the thing you could see inside was the golden throne for all the guild leaders.

On the other side, Hippie kept tapping her right foot to the ground. As she looked worried for something. It can't be helped, she walked towards Asarki and asked her.

"Asarki, where's Grim? He'll be disqualified if he isn't here at the right time." Hippie murmured.

Asarki clicked his tongue. "That Grim, why he always late if there's a big event might happen."

"I agreed, he's late when we're having expedition."

To begin with, the ten top 10 guild leaders were started to come to their designated place. The audience and the participants were astonished at them. Because of their looks, they could tell how stronger those leaders were.

"Hey! Hey! They are all present here!"

"All the adventurers give us a good show! You'll not discourage those guild leaders."

Guild leaders wearing their personalized cape. What are the other adventurers were hoping to wear.

The Guild Selection will start at any minute. And the audience looked excited about this event.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Let's start this event!" The host exclaimed.

"Darn it! Where's Grim?"
