My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After Jake sold the basic tier crystals he got from the Hop bunnies the previous day, Jake was disheartened by the amount of credits he got so he decided to hunt higher beast which is an intermediate beast. But as he approached the quest board, he was met with another obstacle which was, Jake needed two people to join him making them three members in order to be granted the chance to hunt.

Just when he was contemplating what to do, he was approached by two individuals that wanted to join him to hunt. Jake was hesitating on what to do but seeing as his situation was quite desperate, he agreed and they went off to register and also received a type of remote of some sorts that had a button that when pushed, a portal will open up to the location of their chosen beast quest. The remote could be called a portable telepoter of some sorts.

Going outside and into the forest that surrounded the town, Jake, Helen and Berg were standing in the middle of the forest about to open the portal.

"Sorry, before we open up the portal, we haven't even introduced ourselves yet." Helen said.

"I'm sorry, is that necessary? After all, this team hunt between us is a one time thing. Not like it's gonna happen again." Jake said while pushing the button and opening up the portal then he stepped in with Helen and Berg following him.

And then, after a few seconds the portal snapped shut. Going through the portal was a regular feeling to Jake now. It wasn't a foreign feeling to him like before. When they came out of the other end, they came out into a forest.

"What's with the hunt I always go to with forests can't there be another hunting grounds." Jake complained.

"Well that's because of the nature of beast we are here to hunt." Helen said.

"Huh?" Jake raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by what I meant? Didn't you even look into the type of beasts we were about to hunt before you accepted the quest?" Helen said.

Jake just shrugged this caused Helen to slap her forehead with her palm and then shook her head. 'I think I made a mistake. There's no way that this fool can be my guy.' Helen thought.

"The beasts we are here to hunt are… look out!" Berg shouted to which Jake quickly turned around but he was hit by something that sent him flying back therefore breaking trees.

"Shit! Your earlier noise must have attracted the beast." Berg said while going in front of Helen.

'I wonder if that guy is okay.' Helen thought.

The beast in front of them, was a wolf. Not a werewolf, but a full on wolf. It was huge like a small house with black fur all over its body and staring at Berg its glowing red eyes. And getting ready to attack Berg.

Meanwhile, when Jake was hit by the wolf, he went crashing into so many trees and in the process breaking them until his back hit a tree that managed to break his flight.

Coughing violently, Jake slowly stood up and relaxed his back on the tree to catch his breath. "Shit! What was that? What could have hit me like that?" Jake said.

"Beat me, If you don't know, how am I supposed to know?" Zee replied.

Jake finally regained his breathing and then decided to retrace his steps by following the path of broken trees. After walking a few steps, Jake halted his steps abruptly because standing in his path, was a black wolf. "Oh shit!" Jake said as he saw a claw swipe heading towards his head. Jake quickly managed to duck down therefore avoiding the hit.

Immediately he laid his eyes on the wolf, he heard a ding in his head.

<Ding! A New Quest>

<Defeat the wolf for a reward of an instant level-up and and a new skill>

Jake didn't even bother to check the quest, he quickly unsheathed his sword and then moved to the side but the wolf was already in front of him with a swipe of its claws towards Jake's face but he quickly used his sword to hit the claw trying to change its trajectory. It worked but he put in a lot of efforts before he could change its trajectory.

Jake's sword had a crack on it. "Oh shit! My sword is just a basic tier sword. How is it supposed to go against an intermediate beast." Jake cursed.

But his thoughts was interrupted by the wolf who dashed towards Jake with full speed and then Jake quickly used Triple Threat technique to get behind it then Jake gave the wolf a strong kick that only make it skid a few feet but the wolf quickly regained its composure and charged right at Jake. "Ah crap!" That was all Jake could say before he was hit sending him back again.

"If an intermediate beast could give me so much trouble, I wonder how the higher tier beasts will be like." Jake said as he slowly got off the ground.

Immediately Jake got off the ground, the wolf was coming at him again. When the wolf was one metre away from him, he quickly activated stun strike and and step shift at once.

Immediately the wolf was stunned and Jake was now in front of the wolf. With a swing of his sword towards the wolf's neck, Jake made a cut but it wasn't enough to kill the wolf since Jake's sword was only at the basic tier. The wolf was now released from the stun strike effect but Jake had already anticipated this so he used the Triple Threat technique to get behind the wolf quickly.

Then he gave it a good kick sending the wolf go crashing into multiple trees before it came to a halt. "What can I do now? My sword is only at the basic tier and this damn wolf is an intermediate beast." Jake said quickly going through some options that he might use and that was when option came to his mind.

And it was just right on time for the wolf was now dashing towards Jake. Quickly putting his plan to motion, Jake activated Melee combat, stun strike, strength Surge and step shift together.

Immediately, the wolf stopped charging again and now Jake was in front of it with a swing of his sword towards the wolf's neck with all his strength, Jake managed to slice the wolf's head off. Immediately the wolf fell, Jake also fell on his knees due to exhaustion.

Immediately the wolf was dead, Jake heard a ding in his head and a screen appeared in front of him but he quickly dismissed it. "I will look at it later. For now, I need to extract the crystal and go check on the others they might have encountered the same trouble as me." Jake said getting to work in extracting the crystal.

'I just hope they are fine.' Jake thought.
