The Adventurer System

[Grim Draigh invited you to join in a party raid? Yes/No]

Asarki clicked the yes sign on her function screen that appeared right before her eyes.

Bam!

...

Yumiro and Asarki were stunned, as soon as they were entered the sixth floor. A monster that arrived was new for their eyes, and it was glaring at them with the presence of annihilating adventurer's existence.

"I thought, it's a bit different? But why it had two heads?" Yumiro asked the woman next to her.

She had an uncomfortable smile on her face. "That's just the information I gather, I didn't expect the system will update it and made the monsters here to reach the 1st evolution."

"1st evolution?" Yumiro said with a confusing tone.

Asarki nodded. "Yeah, you heard it right. The first evolution when the monster reached the Lvl.2 and transformed its body for something different. In the VR world, it had up to 5th evolution, so starting now, expect the monsters you're going to fight is tougher than earlier." She explained.

They pointed their index finger in front of them for 3 seconds. To know what was the basic information about the monster.

[Monster name: Gorith Tiger Lvl.2 (Geretic tiger 1st evolution) HP: 600/600]

In his mind, its quite harder than before since he could feel the strength of a certain monster. Nevertheless, a new tab screen flickered on their eyes.

[Gorith Tiger (Physical and magic type)- it can deal +97 damage in basic attack up to +102 if it landed a critical hit. Critical chance 1.1% precision 0.9%. This monster is specialized for attacking in the land and making swift sneaks attack]

[Gorith Tiger skill(s)- [Gorith slash] by using its strength it created a keen force that will release by its claws. It can deal +120 damage from each attack, precision rate of 0.9%. [Spear claws] It can expand its claws up to 2 meters, that sufficient for midrange combat. [Red fury] When the monster dash in 5 meters distance, its body will emit a red aura that can be added to its agility. +10% agility +7% strength +6% vitality, to be exact, this is a buff skill]

Buff skill when a monster or a certain adventurer increased their status in an instant. It also could always help in a critical moment, yet, using too much buff was dangerous since it could directly explode its body if an adventurer status wasn't suitable for the buff. It was called Buff overused, the common reason why some adventurers died because of the desperation to survive from the critical moment.

In front of them, a monster had an enormous body, 7ft tall, red fur, aggressive orange eyes, and the most attractive part it had 2 heads and each one of them has sharps fangs. That seemed could break a metal object in an instant.

Asarki gulped twice as she was intimidated by the annihilation atmosphere given by the monster.

"Grim, are you sure you can fight a monster that had a screen name?" She said with a trembled voice.

Yumiro nodded to her without hesitation, for him, there was no turning back since this monster would fulfill the experience he needed to become lvl.20 adventurer.

"If you bother, you can leave me here if there something bad happens." He had a stolid expression, yet he was thinking how this monster launched its first attack.

"I have no intention for that, but do not forget this monster would not attack carelessly, like the monster you fight before. You should be focused on how your ability can defeat it, I can't suggest for more since I still clueless about your power." Asarki made a distance with him, so she could witness the full fight. But before she left, she spits some reminders. "You will hear my voice inside your head, I'm here to assist you in how you can maximize your true potential."

Yumiro clicked his tongue, but this time he wasn't felt annoyed. He felt this expedition will becoming a lot easier.

He won't speak any kind of words out his mouth. Just focused his attention on the monster that was about to attack.

"It's coming..." Yumiro mumbled while seeing a monster were stretched its huge legs.

Crack!

The dried surface was slowly having a crack as the Gorith tiger releasing an outstanding strength.

Swoosh!

Boom!

A block of the dried surface was blown by the monster force, and it created a cloud of brown smoke on its behind.

Their distance was around 20 meters, it was enough distance for Yumiro to prepare his body for the monster attack. He bounced a bit and when he got the momentum he wanted, he cast one of his skills.

[Dash!]

Yumiro dashed in 10 meters distance and all of sudden, his speed increased rapidly.

In front of him, an aggressive monster that glaring at him. "It had different skill, I should be more careful."

[Physical transmission!]

Yumiro concentrated his strength on his hands, to be sufficient to block the monster attack.

Grr!

While charging, the monster groaned was getting louder and louder as they were coming closer to each other.

"I should watch him carefully, to have an idea what skill he can use otherwise this expedition is just a waste." Asarki mumbled thinking if she couldn't give a hand with his party leader it might be he will lost his interest to come along with her.

...

On the other side, the battle was about to begin as the Gorith Tiger was already widely swung its keen claws.

Yumiro hardened his arms as it will be the way to stop the monster attack.

"I must not fail this one."

As soon as the both of them reached the exact distance, the monster released its attack and created a sharp force that Yumiro's eyes could hear it.

He crossed his arms as he noticed if he launched an attack the monster would just slice his neck.

Swift!

Although the monster's claws didn't hit the adventurer gauntlets, yet its attack pushed him back.

Yumiro snickered as he thought, he succeeded to deflect the monster attack. However, that expression was easily faded away since he felt there was after shocked.

Squash!

He glanced on every side of his body, seeing there was blood splashing out on it. "What just happened?" He asked himself, even though it wasn't a deep wound still it bothered him.

In his mind, if he continued to just block the monster attack his body will be damaged little by little.

Moreover, it seemed the main reason why he took the damage because of the monster skill that could send a sharp blade even its claws couldn't touch the target.

"Grim, it's better to avoid the monster attack or dodge it, I know it's hard since that monster was so fast, but you need to overcome it." A honeyed voice occurred inside Yumiro's head, it was Asarki that telling all the information she noticed from their opponent.

"Yeah... I knew it." Yumiro replied.

"The tiger has 12 meters distance with your distance, I suggest engage an attack." Asarki suggested.

Yumiro didn't know the reason, but he followed what Asarki said.

"Tch! She's now commanding me, this is how the tactician works?"

[Dash!]

[Physical transmission!]

After he spits those words, Yumiro cast two consecutive skills. Which one his skills concentrated with his legs, more likely he was ready to release a massive attack.

[Dual spinning kick!]

[Jumping axe kick!]

This was the first time Yumiro will use a combo technique in the VR world.

"I will try this one..."

When the moment he reached the 5 meters gap, he pointed his strength on his waist so he could rotate his body in 360°.

He kicked his left leg first, it hit the monster's head and shook it. Also, the main reason why he did that, was to gather the momentum he needed. He kicked again his left leg and when the moment it hit, he stopped in the center while raising his right leg to the same level as his head.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The [Jumping Axe Kick!] was directly hit on the center of the monster's head. It shivered its body while its eyes showing that it was dizzy from the attack.

Boom!

The monster hardly fell to the ground, however, it was looked hurt by the skirmished. But still had a lot of HP.

"Inventory..." Yumiro suddenly took out one item inside his inventory.

In his grasps was the shining knife that had a red blade, as soon as he landed on the monster's body. Yumiro straightforward his arms and keep stabbing the monster without hesitation.

Asarki scowled seeing why his party member holding a knife that wasn't suitable for his class. In her mind, if a certain class used another weapon the damage probably minimize, but the scene that happened in this dungeon was different.

Her eyelids widened while watching the splashes of blood on her party member.

"I thought, he's brawler class? Why he can deal a massive knife with his knife?"
