Tyler pointed towards the distant houses. "Is that the place we're supposed to go?"

Grone looked, then leaned back against the bench. "No. That's Lyria. It's one of the villages near the Crossroads base. It just means we're close. Don't worry, we're be going straight to town, Just rest up. We're getting close." Grone closed his eyes again. Tyler looked down, lost in thought.

His clothes were dirty, and he thought about his crafting skills. He had crafted armor once—chest armor, to be precise—though the system classified it as regular clothing. That was when he first arrived in this world. Given his ability to craft weapons and armor, why wouldn't he make shoes? He wasn't sure. He looked up and quietly muttered, "Status."

    Tyler looked at the system panel and said, "View the objectives." The panel closed instantly, replaced by another displaying:Objectives (Ranked by Difficulty)1. Use Primal Subjugation.2. Craft 10 different weapons.3. Slaughter 50 Monsters.4. Reach level 100.5. Kill the Whisper Wind Angel.Rewards will be given according to the objective's difficulty."Oh, so these are the objectives," Tyler murmured, slowly reading through the list. "The first three don't sound that hard. But the last two? I was planning on reaching level 100 sooner or later, but what is a Whisper Wind Angel? It seems to be the most difficult one since it's listed last. This must mean it's probably stronger than a level 100 hunter."The system panel disappeared. "Oh well," Tyler said, a grin spreading across his face. "First, I have to go get my rank assessed. I bet Grone is going to be super surprised that I already reached D-rank."Meanwhile, back in the dungeon, Emily sat uncomfortably on the cold stone floor

    Tyler surveyed the flowers, estimating their number. "There is roughly hundreds of flowers here," he murmured. A text box appeared beside the flowers, displaying the single word: EXTRACT. He hesitated. The last time he'd used "Extract" on the Hex Horns, he'd been pursued by a Hex Horn. "Maybe these peach-colored flowers should be dealt with after I finish dealing with these Hex Horns," he mused, deciding to prioritize dealing with potential threats before harvesting the potentially valuable plants."Or," Tyler said, changing his mind and summoning his hammer. The weapon materialized in his hand with a soft shimmer. "I could just extract these flowers since they'll get ruined if I plan on taking care of the Hex Horns anyway." He muttered the word "extract," and the hundreds of flowers scattered across the forest clearing shimmered blue before vanishing. Instantly, a Hex Horn opened one eye, then the other, quickly rising to its feet with a sharp shriek that roused its companions.The H

    probably increased a lot too. Should I risk it and take the shot?" Rebecca's thoughts raced, a whirlwind of uncertainty and doubt. She lowered her bow, the tension slowly leaving her body.Tyler's hammer vanished into his inventory. Without a backward glance at Rebecca, he walked past the Shadow Walker's corpse. "What is he doing? Is he going to let me take it?" she wondered, watching him closely. She couldn't understand why he wasn't claiming the materials.Then, Tyler spoke a single word: "Extract."Instantly, the Shadow Walker's hide and claws vanished, leaving behind only a skinned carcass. "That damn skill," Rebecca muttered, gritting her teeth in frustration.She watched as Tyler walked away, his figure shrinking into the distance. "He's just an E-rank," she said aloud, the words laced with disbelief and a simmering resentment.Meanwhile, Tyler sighed in relief, stopping to check his stats again:SPECIES: HumanNAME: Tyler EvansRANK: ELVL: 39CLASS: CraftsmanHP: 138/138 MP: 1

    His gaze was serious, his words measured. "If you encounter Shadow Claws above level 30, run. You're not ready for them yet."Tyler frowned. "But what if it catches me?""Listen for their shriek," Grone instructed, his voice low. "They let out a high-pitched shriek just before they strike. They're fast, yes, incredibly fast, but they lack the raw power to match their speed. They might seem weak at first glance, but never underestimate them."***Tyler’s heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the silence of the forest. The Shadow Walker’s gaze, twin points of malevolent crimson, locked onto his. Its menacing smile, a rictus of bloody teeth, was unnerving. His hands trembled as he adopted a fighting stance, the familiar weight of his copper daggers grounding him. A swirling, smoke-like aura emanated from the rabbit-like creature, a miasma of darkness that seemed to writhe and pulse with malevolent energy. Then, as quickly as it appeared, the aura dissipated, and the

  • Chapter 35: Death From The Shadows

    The night air hung heavy and cold, a damp chill seeping into Tyler’s gloom armor as it shifted subtly with each tense breath. A text panel erupted before his eyes: Slime Activated Skill: Bash! The blue slime, a pulsating, obscene parody of life, launched itself at Tyler with the speed of a striking viper. He reacted instinctively, a practiced dance of evasion honed over countless hours of training, sidestepping the viscous wave of blue by a hair's breadth. The slime slammed into the earth fifteen feet away, the impact a jarring tremor that vibrated through the forest floor.It offered no respite. With a renewed surge of sickening speed, the monstrous creature lunged again. This time, Tyler met the assault head-on. He channeled every ounce of his strength into a desperate upward slash, the honed copper of his dagger singing a deadly song as it met the slime's resilient surface. A sickening thwack echoed through the silent woods, but the blow, though delivered with brutal force, barely

    Tyler looked at the woman, and her name and level appeared above her head like a halo: Anne Style: LVL 27, the system displayed. Anne gasped, recognizing him. "You're the man who saved me earlier!" she exclaimed."Yeah, I'm—" Tyler began, but she interrupted."My benefactor!!" she declared loudly."What?" Tyler said, confused."You saved me from being robbed! If it weren't for you, I'd have lost everything. And you showed such incredible skill—you must be a high-ranked hunter to have stopped him so easily..." Her voice trailed off as her eyes fell upon his E-rank necklace. Surprise dawned on her face. "Wait a moment... you're E-rank?" she asked, incredulous.Tyler was surprised by her expression. He’d expected disappointment at discovering he was only E-rank, but she seemed fascinated."Yeah, I'm E-rank. I'm actually here to—" Tyler began, but she cut him off."How was an E-rank able to move like that? Unless you're nearing D-rank levels? You were so fast! You'd have to be at least D-
