Arvin was very impressed with the guardian shield. He has never seen something like that before. When he realized that the guardian shield was the reward for another quest, his excitement rose to another level. All the things that he had received from the system as a reward until now were all awesome. One way or another, he grateful for all those things.

He was grateful for the potion that he as his first reward. He liked the shape-shifting skill that he got. And the guardian shield was also very great. But… ​​

When Arvin was looking through his inventory, he found something that he had to the recollection of storing. He found an egg. Different from all the eggs, this egg was in the shape of a sphere. It had a white carbonate layer like any other egg. The most peculiar thing about the egg was its disgusting smell…

That egg smelled horrible. It smelled 100 times smellier than Arvin on the day he was covered in his impurities. It was so bad that the instant the smell of that egg, reached Arvin’s nose, he started to lose consciousness. But Arvin controlled this situation by sending that egg back to his inventory…

‘Wha….w…who….. What the ….f… that?’ Arvin asked after putting the egg back in his inventory. He almost lost his conscious so he was feeling a little bit dizzy so his voice started craking up a bit…

{WOAH!}

‘Wo..woah? That is … all …. You have to say?’ Arvin

{You did a number on Alman if you have that with you. Otherwise you wouldn’t have received that thing.}

‘That smelly egg? You mean that is my reward?’

{Yes.}

‘Are you f**king kidding me? I almost died back then. That this is all that I get? A rotten egg?’

{You have no idea what that egg represents.}

‘What do they represent?’

{That… Well, I will talk about that later. But first, let me tell you, that egg can make you very strong.}

‘How strong are we talking about?’

{Ok, it could you stronger than all your mana stones combine.}

‘F**k’

{I know!}

‘That’s good…’

{With this you can ascend to the upcoming floors quickly.} Lopt commented.

‘Hmm.’

{Now that we have all the resources that we need. We could concentrate on your training.}

‘So what are we doing until now?’

{…}

1 month later

Arvin was getting stronger and stronger as days passed by. But the only thing that Arvin was lacking was real fight experience. Till now he had used his cheat abilities of an earthling to get stronger. But he lacked a mental fortitude of a warrior. So Lopt decided that he will spend a whole month hunting down the beast of Kalgan forest. This will help him to form a mental fortitude of a warrior. And the results were astounding…

Lopt thought that Arvin was a little weak. Not by strength but by mental fortitude. A warrior en route to the top floor had to make some mentally challenging decisions from time to time. And maybe softness in Arvin will not be a good thing in those challenging situations. But boy he was wrong…

Lopt didn’t notice it at Arvin’s first hunt but as the time flew by, he started noticing it. Arvin had started to like blood on his hands. Lopt was a god. So he had seen his fair share of brutal things back in his days. But Arvin is a mortal. He should have shown some sort of reaction to all the blood and gore on his first hunt. But he was perfectly normal that day.

Lopt felt like that he was overthinking it. But then he started seeing stuff. Arvin started showing his ruthless side to him whenever he goes out to hunt. It didn’t matter whether he founds a full-grown beast or its baby. If something gets on his radar, he kills it without any remorse. This made Lopt feel that maybe Arvin had started liking the blood and gore.

Before Lopt was worrying that maybe Arvin will not become a ruthless warrior in the future. But now he was started to worry that maybe Arvin will become a battle-crazy man like his half-brother…

AAAAOOOOOOWWWWW

A golden wolf howled shaking the surrounding area. This black wolf was an Alpha of a pack of wolves that Arvin was hunting right now. And this wolf is enraged as all of his pack had died at the hands of Arvin. That golden wolf was a Rank-A creature of the first floor.

Unlike before Arvin strategized about his attack on a pack of wolves in the inner parts of Kalgan forest. This wolf pack was very big in number. And its leader was a golden wolf and from Arvin had read from the books of Alman, this golden wolf was the second strongest being on the 1st floor. So Arvin was very excited to fight the wolf. He took care of his pack one by one and as stealthily as he can. And now only one wolf is left alive. That is the Alpha himself…

The Golden wolf roared in the darkness. He had not spotted his enemy till now. And he had no idea how many enemies were out there. But he had his pride as the one the strongest being to live up to. So he howled blatantly in the dark, challenging his assailant.

Seeing that there was no one left, Arvin came out of his hiding place. Arvin was covered in dark black mud from the forest. While he was also using the gobi grass to cover up his smell. That is why wolves had a very hard time finding him. It was all thanks to the books that he got from Alman from which he was able to learn about the anatomy of wolves and he was able to find a way from which he could stay hidden from their noses.

Seeing a man come out of shadow, covered in black mud the wolf was enraged. He was not able to find him despite him being so close made him mad. He started growling at Arvin. To that growl, Arvin just smiled and took out his ax that was stored in his inventory. As the golden wolf saw a black ax covered with the red blood of his comrades he lost it. He pounced at Arvin with the maximum speed his legs could muster.

Seeing the wolf coming towards him, Arvin also started running towards the wolf with his ax raised in the air. After coming close to the wolf, it was Arvin who attacked first. He jumped 9 feet in the air with an ax raised and came down on the wolf.

The wolf may be angry but was not stupid. He saw through Arvin’s move. He was nimble in his feet so he sidestepped and avoided his attack. As Arvin landed, he missed the wolf. The wolf took advantage of this and pounced back at Arvin as soon as possible.

Arvin was in a very tough situation then. So he rolled back to avoid the wolf’s attack. But then by that time wolf had become persistent enough that he pounced back at Arvin once again. But this time rather than sidestepping like every time, Arvin just bent towards his left and gave an uppercut to a wolf, straight on his jaws. That uppercut made the wolf a little bit dizzy. Expecting this, Arvin let go of his ax. He then stepped forward and opened up his shield.

The Guardian shield was a very shiny object that could gather a lot of attention. So Arvin covered that shield with black mud so its color changed to dark black.

Now with a black shield in his hands, Arvin slammed that straight onto the wolf’s face. Before the wolf could recover from the slam of the shield, Arvin threw a right-hand jab at him again. From the powerful punches of Arvin, that wolf didn’t have time to contemplate what hit him and from did Arvin hit him.

Just like a boxer out for blood, Arvin hit the wolf from left to right and from down to the bottom. And in just a few seconds, the lost so much blood and energy that it was not able to stand. The wolf fell on the ground, with a face that been smashed into a bloody pulp. Without changing his expression or anything, Arvin raised his hands and his ax flew back to his arms. Then without any remorse, the struck down on the face of the wolf…

{Now only one beast more to hunt and then we could ascend.} Lopt said as Arvin killed the alpha golden wolf.

‘Yeah. Tomorrow I will go hunt a Fierce bird and then I will go towards the ascending tower.’

{Hmm…}
