Klyde wandered through the trees, his heavy boots crunching on fallen leaves. His right hand a tight fist around the hilt of his sword.
"Kill 5 monsters… that suggests that this world has monsters." He then tilted his head up, the orange-blue sky meeting his eyes. "And sunset is gonna hit soon."
Klyde then lifted his left wrist and turned the dial on it clockwise and a holographic appeared from it.
< Power: 91% >
< Combat enhancement: Offline >
< Shoulder gun rounds: 30 - 30 >
< Micro Missiles: 4 >
"My shoulder guns are fully loaded but my helmet is gone so I don't have an aiming system. So I can only rely on my wrist rockets and energy blasters." He said, putting his hand back down as he continued to walk.
He stopped as he heard a twig snap in the distance. He let go of his sword, reaching for the dial on his left wrist, this time, moving it down before twisting it clockwise. He aimed his hand at the direction he heard the sound while armor plating rose up revealing a gun barrel.
His eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction and he saw the dark silhouette of a quadripedal creature approaching him. He stomped his feet down to try and scare the creature but it continued approaching him.
Seeing that the creature might be hostile because of its persistence, he twitched his finger and all his limbs locked in place and a small energy ball fired out the gunbarrel.
The bullet shot through the creatures head and with a thud, it fell soon after.

"That was surprisingly easy" he reset the dial lowered his hand and started approaching the body. "Is they'll all be this easy to kill this will make leveling up les duificult. And 25 Exp huh? One fourth the exp I need to level up. What is it though…"
Klyde crouched down next to the dead body. The creature looked like a boar, coated in black fur and three red tripes on its back.
"Hmm. Looks a lot like a boar. I'm gonna need food soon so I guess this'll be my food source. Though carrying it around will be a waste of energy. I'll just leave it for now."
Klyde stood up and continued deeper down the forest, but this time, he made sure to mark every few trees with his sword to find his way back if he needs to.
After 20 minutes of walking, he started hearing the sound of flowing water in the distance. He followed the sound and it lead him to a river.
The river was deep and wide. The water was clear and flowed calmly to his right.
He got down on his knees, dipping his hand in but could only feel the gentle push of the water against his hand to his disappointment as he was in armor. He turned his head to the left to see a bridge far in the distance connecting the two sides.
"A bridge… must lead to a village or even a town. I guess I should get there before nightfall."
Suddenly, a shard shot at him like a bullet from the other side of the river. He crossed his arms to block his head and the impact dented his armour plating and caused him to fall on his back.
He quickly got up, equipping his sword and looked at the other side of the river to see a 3 tailed frost blue wolf running torwards over river, each of it's steps freezing the water under it as it closed the distance. And behind it, 6 more wolves were followed.

"Shit!" He exclaimed and reached for his wrist.
He pressed the buttons on both sides then pushed it up and turned the dial. His body locked in place and several clicks throughout the suit were heard as the suit's combat mode activated.
『 Buffed 』
〔 Strength: 20>30 [+10] 〕
〔 Agility: 16>31 [+4] 〕
His took his other sword on his hip and stood in a stance, ready for the wolves. One of the wolves leaped at him, I it's jaw open and revealing it's sharp fangs. He tried to slash the one mid air but it bit into his sword, blocking it.
He swiped his sword, tossing the wolf away but it still landed on its feet. More ice shards flew his way from the back wolves whilst other wolves charged at him.
'3 are staying back on the river as backline support whilst the 4 frontliners attack me' he thought as he continued to block and dodge the wolves attacks. 'I can't keep this up for long. I'm gonna end up getting tired. I don't even have room to switch to my blasters. Must think of something.
Another once tried to pounce but this time, he pointed his sword as it and it ended up getting stabbed on it's chest.

Though one of the shards ended up hitting his shoulder, striking his shoulder and making him drop his sword and dislocating his left arm.
He threw his other sword at a wolfed though it ended dodging. He used that distraction to relocate his arm and retract his hand blades from his wrists.
He picked up the dead body, throwing it to the backline, his sword it on it. The body destroyed the ice from under, making the wolves fall into the river. Now he could focus on 3 remaining wolves.
He kicked one of them straight on the jaw, snapping it in half and uppercut another one, the hand blade stabbing through it then picked up his other sword and cut the last ones head off.
He sat down on floor, panting out of exhaustion

"That was way too close" he said then looked on at the river, watching the last 3 wolves struggling to swim. He then placed his hand on his shoulder. "My shoulder stopped hurting. In fact it feels fully healed…"

"2 level ups in one v sitting. That's kinda good. Its getting dark soon. I should check my inventory and open the Lootbox."
A screen then opened up in front of him. Unlike the others, this one was mainly a grid layout to show all the items.
『 Inventory 』
〘 Items: 1/1000 〙
〔 Common Lootbox: 1 〕
He then opened his hand, picturing the Lootbox on his hand and a white cube appeared in his hand, removing the item from the system.
He pressed the cube and it let out a bright light before disappearing in a flash, leaving a large book and a card on his hand. He didn't look at the items and just put them away in the inventory and went into the river to get his other sword back.
Once he had both swords he attached them back to his hip and made his way to the bridge ahead.
