Tracking the den of the hounds wasn't so difficult it was a fine cave that covered with vines that camouflage its entrance, though he needs to kill the remaining hounds that occupied the cave, excluding the newborns which he intends to tame and domesticate, which Jacob thinks was a great idea. Cleaning the cave of the remnants of his deeds and making it livable place to hide for a while.
It's kind of never occur to him that another group of hounds apart from the one who he killed came. Smelling the blood of their kind, the hounds went berserk and attacked him. Which of course he completely annihilated, makings his food rations and pelt to be made as clothes and bed to bulk up more and his growing stats to enter the triple digits.
With his base secured he began to venture and map out his surroundings.
"Better be knowing the landscape of this hell than nothing. Anyway, why there is no other monster neared this place? Is this an outer realm or something that the more you get nearer from the center the stronger your opponent become?"
He then came back at the cave to feed the baby hounds with the meat of their kin. Cruel, yes, but it's not like he has a choice, there are no other food source that he could find.
'I wonder what kind of prey do the hounds usually hunt in this lifeless area?' A thought wonder in his mind making his sense of curiosity get better of him and for him to depart again to resume his patrol along his territory. Getting far from his base he began to see a cacophony of trees. He silently walked into it, never letting his guard down. The lights from the sky were blocked by towering trees and the place began to be engulfed by the shadows. As he goes deeper a rustling and footsteps, breaking every twigs it stepped onto come to his auditory attention, he slows his breathing and making his careful walk into a more sneaky pace, after a while following the sound.
He saw it, a boar, yet not the ordinary one, its big, standing 8 feet tall, 4 feet wide and the length of 6 feet of pure muscles, its tusks that protrude from each side of its nose was painted red ready to murder anything that brave enough to try challenging it. It walked slowly like its own the place.
And of course, with a man who suddenly have a power-up and does not knowing anything about his current world he jumped high from his hiding place and retrieve a bone spike he created and stab at the back of the boar's head which ended up of having his weapon broke before it could even scratch the beast, it didn't even feel his attack and it continue to walk unbothered.
And him? he was terrified, he didn't even dare to land on his two feet but instantly lay down and play dead. Yes, that how scared he was.
Did not even dare to open his eyes before the sound of that beast footstep disappears. As soon as he got up he instantly use his RUSH and bolted out back to his den.
'sh***************t' is all he could think off as he ran away.
He survived because he was too weak.
After 2 days of not stepping out and conquering his fear he decided to stay away from that forest until he became a God tier entity.
1 WEEK LATER.
After making sure he stay aware from the FOREST OF DEATH which he now named boldly in his map, it was at the south of where he is currently living which he named HOUNDS' DEN. He ventures the North side and finds a riverbank and a lot of different vegetations, which he now scouts, he has yet to hunt anything afraid of might encountering powerful just like the boar.
He is currently making another makeshift weapon.
" I wish I could mine some metal or more durable material than these bones"
It was a spear using the bones as the spear and a wooden rood he found while venturing the northern forest. He is finally determined to surpass his trauma and muster enough courage to hunt monster again.
Sadly, he didn't know how to make a bow.
He now realized all the videos he watched in his past life was useless.
With him fully geared, with an armor of wolf pelt with sawed bones enough to mitigate some damage from any possible monster he might encounter.
AT THE NOTHERN FOREST.
Jacob sneaking after an abnormal size rabbit with a menacing sharp horn, he called it, horned rabbit, obviously.
" I want that sharp horn...' he mutters almost drooling, he has already forgotten his trauma, his greed for better weapon surpassed all of his sanity.
Finding an opening, Jacob hurled his spear with practiced precision, it hit it instantly and pierced and nailed the poor creature in a tree 15 meter away from its previous position.
"All of it trying to not attract attention. I need to control my strength.

After he retrieve the rabbit's carcass in his inventory he decided to hide atop a massive tree and wait for another animal that could be attracted by the blood of the rabbit, and it did this time it was a humanoid, green skin, face as ugly as your friend, and only wears rug.
'A goblin, a creature in every fantasy story.'
he didn't kill the goblin but instead after it saw there was no prey it turned back and Jacob decided to follow it.
After hours of following it, which he figures was a scout of its tribe it finally led him to its base. It consists of wooden barricades and huts which some of it have smoke rising from its roof made of grass. For the first time he finally saw a bit of civilization, and he has no intention of slaughtering it like what usually happen in a fantasy setting but instead he intends to observe more, with how the tribe is built he considers this creature is sentient and as a planned of empire building genre it was obvious what's his plan for this creature. He is an idiot.
1 week of spying on his future subjects, he learned about the power of the entire tribe, and a single pack of hounds will slaughter them. He knew after he saw how 10 goblins were killed by a single horned rabbit after a 50 of them tried to hunt it. With that death rate of how day hunt Jacob wonder if they gave birth to thousands of baby goblins every month to sustain their thousands population.
With that information and a week of preparation he marched and kicked the gate of the tribe to announce his presence.
"KIIIIIEEEEEEEEK'
An ear-piercing shriek came out from the goblin that guard the gate which he thinks their own version of alarm bell, with that thousand upon thousand of goblin holding varying size of sticks or stone axe and hammer, their bigger warriors which I think their elites wield horn of horned rabbit.
