The roar of a powerful engine echoed across the wild area as Lucas sped forward on his heavy-duty motorcycle. The sleek black machine wasn't just fast—it was freedom on two wheels. The wind whipped past his face, and the pounding of the engine beneath him filled his chest with excitement.
Earlier, he had carefully studied the monster level distribution map of the wilderness outside the city. His target was already locked in, and now, with this beast of a machine under him, he could get there at lightning speed. Compared to trudging on foot, this was an entirely different experience—fast, exhilarating, and efficient.
Lucas had no intention of slowing down. Unless there was a truly massive obstacle in his way, he wouldn't even consider braking. If something was in his path, the motorcycle would just fly over it. No detours. No hesitation. Just a direct, unstoppable charge.
A few monsters noticed the roar of his bike as he blasted past them, their glowing eyes flashing in the distance. But none of them could keep up. They were left behind, their frustrated howls fading into the wind.
Then—a massive figure blocked the road ahead.
It was a Level 38 Tusk Demon Elephant—a hulking, armored beast with tusks like sharpened spears. It was huge enough to look like a moving fortress. If Lucas didn't turn aside right now, he'd slam right into it.
"Moo!!"
The giant beast raised its trunk, let out a deafening bellow, and charged at Lucas, its tusks glinting dangerously. Every thunderous step shook the ground, like a runaway truck weighing dozens of tons barreling forward.
Lucas's eyes narrowed. "No way I'm letting you damage my beautiful bike." Even if his ride could handle the impact, what if the paint got scratched? Was this elephant ready to pay for repairs?
Without hesitation, he vanished from the motorcycle in a flash of movement.
One heartbeat later, Lucas appeared above the beast, dagger in hand. He fell like a shadow, his arm swinging with lethal precision. The **Level 15 skill—Tearing Cut—**flared to life as his blade plunged deep into the monster's skull. The edge bit through hide and bone, carving a deep cross-shaped wound across its forehead.
-65,184!
The number floated above the beast's head—a single strike so strong the elephant didn't even have a chance to fight back. Its scream tore through the air before its massive body collapsed to the ground in a lifeless heap.
Before its body even hit the dirt, Lucas had already flashed back to his motorcycle, the engine still rumbling as if he'd never left. Sliding his dagger away, he gripped the handlebars, leaned forward, and accelerated.
The motorcycle's suspension flexed as he lifted it slightly. Then—with perfect timing—he soared over the corpse, the bike tracing a clean arc in the air before landing smoothly and continuing forward without the slightest pause.
"Level 38? You dared to block my way? Guess you didn't know how to spell 'death.'" Lucas smirked as the scene of the 'accident' vanished behind him. He didn't even glance back at the loot drop. Low-level monsters like that only gave ordinary materials—not worth even a second of his time.
His status was different now. He wasn't the same man as yesterday.
True, his wallet balance hadn't changed much, but he was now riding a vehicle worth more than 10 million, wearing top-grade purple rare-quality gear, and serving as vice president of a major guild. Yesterday's struggles were already in the past.
To prove it, all anyone had to do was look at his personal career attribute panel.

"Flash" was the game-changer. Ten instant teleports made him a nightmare to fight—appearing and vanishing unpredictably, striking from angles no one could defend against. He could carve through dozens of enemies before they even knew what happened.
"Soul Shatter" was his trump card. Seventy-six thousand points of stored soul energy could unleash a single devastating attack, strong enough to rival his most powerful skills. But he wouldn't waste it on small fry. It had taken over a month of grinding to store this much—a weapon like this was reserved for the big targets.
His motorcycle hummed beneath him as he reached the target area, ready to farm monsters for experience. But before he could start, a glowing message flashed across his career panel.
