2025-09-12 17:59:02Aaron looked at the newly upgraded map and was astonished to find it filled with yellow dots. Even beneath the camp, two yellow dots were visible. Only now did he realize why, back in the Dark Forest, he had spotted so few of them, the new map function could detect creatures underground.
He then noticed the map’s range had been extended. The Dark Forest was now clearly visible, glowing with red lights. Wolves and wild boars were scattered throughout, easily identifiable. Looking more carefully, he spotted a village located just four kilometers to the south. A river flowed beside it. "Maybe this is Brindle Hollow," he thought. The place they had been searching for. Even more surprising, the map now displayed the number of people inside each hut. What truly stunned him was the addition of emojis floating above their heads. Most showed sleeping emojis, one had a hungry emoji, and a few displayed love emojis between two people, likely indicating mating. Aaron blinked and quickly looked away, feeling awkward. Then he checked Maria’s emoji. Her mood was shifting rapidly, from disgust, to panic, to embarrassment. Aaron frowned, confused. "What did she just see?" He decided to talk to her about it later. For now, he carefully tucked the coin pouch into his cloth purse, hidden securely inside his pants. Then he paused and opened his stats panel. To his surprise, he had 120 experience points available. He thought to himself: "I have enough experience points now. Should I increase my level or invest in skills?" "I already know the benefits of upgrading skills... but I haven’t leveled up even once. Maybe it’s time to explore what leveling up actually does." Aaron Warwick (Lv. 2) (30/200 EXP) HP: 30/30 MP: 20/20 STR: 3 DEX: 2 CON: 3 INT: 2 Skills: - Lion Breathing Mastery (Lv.2) (101/200) - Basic Sword Mastery (lv.2) (3/200) - Basic Archer Mastery (lv.2) (8/200) - Cooking (50/100) Experience Points: 120 Aaron stared at his stats panel and froze. He still didn’t have enough experience points to level up. “Just 50 points short,” he muttered. His eyes drifted to the box of mice. He checked their status, sure enough, they weren’t strong enough to even display a level. A wave of regret washed over him. At the same time, he felt a strong impulse to head out and hunt wild animals in the Dark Forest. The wolves and boars he’d seen on the map could easily give him the experience he needed. But he shook his head. It was already night. The forest would be even more dangerous in the dark. “Not worth the risk,” he thought, letting out a quiet sigh. "Aaron, are you asleep?" Maria’s voice came from outside the curtain. Aaron hesitated briefly, then stepped out of the tent and found her standing there. A faint frown creased her forehead as she spoke in a low tone, "Aaron… I’ll sleep next to you." She immediately grew embarrassed and added, "Don’t misunderstand me. It’s just… the wilderness out here, and the wolf howls really frighten me." Aaron was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. He replied calmly, "Okay, Miss Maria." He glanced at her, her appearance was dusty and worn from travel. Being a clean freak himself, he felt no lustful thoughts. At least, not for now. Maria, still embarrassed, followed him into the tent. The air inside smelled faintly of mice, and the other tents weren’t much better. Aaron picked up the box filled with mice and moved it to another tent. Then he carefully arranged the firewood and returned. The bed was made from wild bushes, with a thin cloth spread over the top. He lay down quietly, and Maria, her head lowered, lay beside him. Aaron was soon asleep, physically and mentally exhausted from the day’s events. On the other hand, Maria lay awake, panic stirring in her heart. She couldn’t help but worry, what if Aaron tried something during the night? But then she heard him snoring beside her. She was stunned, even dumbfounded. "Am I not attractive enough? How come Aaron’s not interested in me?" she muttered to herself. "Damn it!" Despite her frustration, a wave of relief washed over her. The day had been terrifying, but meeting Aaron had been the one good thing she could hold onto. With that thought, she finally drifted off to sleep. --- Early the next morning. Aaron opened his eyes, feeling a strange weight pressing down on him. He frowned and slowly looked up. He was stunned. Maria was lying on top of him. At that exact moment, Maria’s eyes fluttered open, and she was even more stunned than he was. She immediately screamed, "Pervert!" She raised her hand to slap him, but Aaron caught her wrist calmly and said, "Miss Maria, please behave yourself. I haven’t done anything disrespectful to you." He gently moved her aside and stood up, walking out of the tent without another word. Maria, still flustered, checked her clothes. Everything was intact. Then she remembered her sleeping habits, and instantly turned red with embarrassment. Last night, Aaron had a good sleep. Early in the morning, he checked the map and searched for a nearby water source to relieve himself. He found one. Just five hundred meters from their location, there was a small puddle filled with water. A few other puddles were scattered nearby, likely remnants from rainfall a few days ago. At least for now, his bathroom problem was solved. As for washing his hands, he could use ash, something he’d learned from survival tips. Just then, Maria stepped out of her tent. She spoke in a low tone, "Aaron, I’m sorry." Aaron simply waved his hand and replied, "Miss Maria, I’m going to relieve myself." He didn’t say more, it was too embarrassing. Maria, on the other hand, blushed heavily. She also felt the need to go. "Can I follow you?" she asked. Aaron nodded and said, "Take some charcoal with you. You can use it to wash your hands."

Lefia had tasted countless delicacies back on her planet. Though they were delicious, none compared to the roasted meat Aaron shared, the flavor practically exploded in her head. As she ate, she kept staring at him. Troubled, Aaron finally picked up a plate of roasted chicken with salads and handed it to her. Lefia was stunned, but before she could speak, Aaron shooed her away, “Don’t disturb my meal.” Unbothered, Lefia happily tore into the meat, savoring it with the salad, her face glowing with enjoyment. Within minutes, she felt satisfied. Aaron too was content after finishing his food and beer. Though the drink didn’t intoxicate him, its flavor reminded him of old times. Shaking his head, he lit a cigar. Just as he took a puff, a commotion stirred. Kolan and Lefia rushed back to their posts, their eyes filled with dread. Approaching from the borders were three towering demons: Kober, body steaming red, Nahur, a goat‑headed demon with a human body. Dodula, a monstrous f
On The City Wall
Aaron, unaware that more Fusion Saint demons were already mobilizing against him, kept his focus on the low‑tier demons. With a wave of his hand, another ten‑kilometer radius of demons was wiped out in seconds. Just then, Naduha spoke urgently, “Master, please wait.” Aaron stopped, looking at him with confusion. Naduha’s tone grew slightly flushed with excitement, “Master, can you allow me to take a break? I’ve absorbed enough death energy to advance my realm to middle‑tier Fusion Saint. There’s even a chance I might break through to late‑tier Fusion Saint.” Aaron thought for a moment before asking, “How long will it take?” Naduha replied anxiously, “A day or two.” Aaron nodded, “Fine.” With that, both retreated toward the city wall. The surviving low‑tier demons, witnessing this retreat, immediately fled in terror. They had never expected that among humans there existed someone who acted more like a demon than themselves, slaughtering without hesitation, radiating a

Hobler took a deep breath and removed his domain. Aaron, seeing this, also withdrew his domain, and Naduha followed suit. From the wall, Dorath Warhammer had overheard the exchange. He was stunned, Aaron seemed to have walked straight into Hobler’s trap. Dorath almost wanted to warn him, but after thinking carefully, he realized Aaron might still have a hidden plan. Hobler faced Aaron with a booming voice, “Come, human. It’s your first chance. Hit me with all you’ve got.” Though he spoke confidently, Hobler secretly mobilized energy to protect his body. Aaron walked forward calmly, ignoring the foul stench radiating from the demon’s massive frame.With an innocent smile, he said, “Then it’s my first time. Don’t cheat by using energy to protect your body.” Hobler replied smoothly, “Of course.” Aaron debated whether to strike with full strength but shook his head. The demon might be bracing for defense. Instead, he clenched his fist and delivered a slow‑motion punch. H
Fight With Demons 3
Aaron climbed back onto the wall and saw that the demons had already refilled the gap he had cleared earlier. Naduha stood ready, waiting for his master’s command. Aaron said calmly, “Let’s go.” Once again, he began his sneaky assault. Within seconds, every low‑tier demon within ten kilometers was wiped out by his domain. He moved swiftly to the next location, unfolding the domain again. Naduha followed closely, absorbing the death energy and collecting demon cores with precision. A few minutes later, Aaron encountered a Tier 7 demon. To his surprise, his domain crushed it effortlessly, killing it outright. The realization stunned him, while Naduha’s excitement grew as he continued absorbing energy. By now, they had already killed hundreds of millions of demons once again. But Aaron suddenly felt a terrible sensation, like a looming disaster. Without hesitation, he retreated to the wall. Immediately, dark energy pillars rose from the ground, covering nearly thirty kilom
Fight With Demons 2
Hobler observed that the number of demons killed by the Light Wizard Faction had already exceeded hundreds of millions. Although their demon army was vast, such losses still stung. Yet he felt puzzled, “Why would a Fusion Saint lower himself to target Tier 6 and below demons?” he thought. Confused by the strange behavior of the Fusion Saint, Hobler nevertheless resolved to remain vigilant, wary of another sudden sneak attack. He considered sending a message to Kober, Nahur, and Dodula. But hesitation struck him. If he reported this, they might mock him for overreacting. After a few seconds of thought, Hobler decided against reporting it, choosing instead to keep watch silently.Kolan looked at Aaron with confusion, “Aaron, weren’t you fighting those demons? How come you returned so soon?” Eva and Dorath exchanged glances, both feeling the human race seemed unreliable. Aaron, however, smiled calmly, “Sir Kolan, I have an idea to deal with the demon race. Do you want to hear
Fight With Demons 1
Kolan, Eva, and Dorath were stunned by Aaron’s words. Before Kolan could even respond, Aaron had already flown over the wall, with Naduha following closely behind. Aaron commanded, “Naduha, you may absorb the death energy as you wish. But I also need you to extract the demon cores, they will be very useful to me.” Naduha’s voice trembled with excitement, “Okay, Master.” Both of them shielded their bodies with a simple mana barrier, easily deflecting the ranged attacks hurled at them. Aaron gazed down at the battlefield. The demons below were of countless shapes and sizes, a grotesque tide of chaos. Without hesitation, he descended and unleashed the Laser Realm. In an instant, one‑tenth of his mana was consumed. A radius of nearly ten kilometers erupted in countless beams of laser light, flickering for two seconds. When the light faded, every demon within that radius lay dead. Aaron checked his experience points, they had already surged to 100 million. He realized th
