THIRD PERSON POV
The only reason Creator 79 even knew how to fight was due to the intensive gaming she had done., and the self-defence private classes she'd taken to try to boost her confidence and alleviate her fears. While it didn't exactly work out as intended the knowledge wasn't lost on her. Still, she had to admit she only learned how to sweep the floor with men, not a wolf taller and bigger than her.
It didn't stop how the blind desire that roared within her to protect a game child, one that was more code than flesh and blood no matter how realistic, pushed her head first into the fight. It was a game, so maybe it was indeed not stupid.

JAMESON POV
I watched the most astonishing fight in the history of fights. No, it wasn't skills, maybe a bit, nor bravery. It was just pure conviction. I watched the haze that was the player pommel the wolf like a pup around. Not to get things wrong. The player got injured too. A bite, a scratch even a beam of Primordial Darkness slammed the player into the palace wall.
Yet Creator 79 kept coming. At this point, it was obvious that if the wolf didn't do something extra it would die. The baby lay where his parent had dropped him his hands flailing in the air while he watched with curious eyes as the Lunar Palace wall shattered. Each reverberation made him let out a joyful coo.
The Wolf was grabbed and slammed on the palace floor creating another vibration. Haero bounced from the reverberations and clapped his palms in joyful glee at what he assumed was a playful moment. The wolf was grabbed by the scruff of its neck and hurled out into the nothingness through the ajar doors. Jameson couldn't help but admire the A.I running this game. It looked like a movie with great CGI.
Creator 79 picked up the baby that stared back with large round eyes.
Even I had to admit to feeling a tinge of guilt for sending the wolf, but it was a game. The babe was placed in his cradle and left while Creator 79 dashed outside to meet the wolf once more. Said Wolf was already attempting to get back inside. Frothing black liquid at its mouth as its rage was visible in its eyes.
Both clashed like titans in the nothingness the blaze of the Sol shining down on them. I scratched my head and turned to realize that I wasn't the only one watching this fight. The entire staff had left their workstations to observe the battle.
Creator 79 landed a menacing blow to its jaw sending its head to the left. A quick uppercut with her left fist sent it a bit up. As beings who had no suppressions on them from gravity or lack of their movements were unhindered.
Creator 79 spun and landed a devastating kick to the wolf's exposed torso sending it backwards again. She didn't let up on it though. Attacking with fervor she increased her blows. Of course, the wolf wasn't just sitting back and taking damage. It was a being of the Primordial. Something it showed in its next move.
Its paws bore down on the Creator. Half way it flickered and from the claws came destruction. The space shrivelled and ruptured. Five lines of disintegrating and shredding space rushing for the Creator.
'Shit. Is it ...did it use ...Rip". Someone exclaimed behind him.
The Creator seemed unsure of what to do with this new development. Something that James understood. He could feel his guilt rising. He did this.
"Ooohhhhh". A loud ruckus from the staff brought back his attention. The Creator was doing something. From her skin poured mists of white that surged for the rips coming at her. The moment both met all motion ceased.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
I frowned and fisted my palms. 'Come on'. The two energies fought the space around them shaking visibly. Fortunately, it seemed the Creator didn't intend to depend on that attack. The room gasped as they spotted the Creator already tackling the distracted wolf. Arms wrapped around its neck as it was wrestled to the ...well it was just wrestled.
I grimaced as the Wolf pounced and spun itself in an attempt to smash the Creator against the palace. He shut his eyes in a sigh and then opened it back. 'Might as well see the results of my decisions through.
He was just in time to watch a stunning feat.
The player, Creator 79 had managed to lock the wolf into a vice choke hold. Yet it was no chokehold. The left palm gripped the upper part of Wolf's fangs. The right gripped its lower jaw. Legs tightened around the wolf's neck while it whimpered and trashed.
"Kill"
"Kill"
"Kill"
"Kill"
A chant rose behind him as the staff's excitement increased. Most clasped their palms together in prayer while watching.
'The irony' I thought.
A flare of black waves, definitely Primordial Chaos rose from its body becoming a blaze of black flame that burned the Player yet it was ignored. Instead, all we got was a scream. A very feminine scream.
"Creator 79 is female?"
"Woah, she's cool".
" She'd better beat the wolf".
I could only groan at this as I watched the female haze, screaming as her arms tugged at the wolf's jaws with strength. The sound of tearing and ripping made it into the ears of everyone. Followed closely by cracking.
"YESSSS!"
A scream of pure excitement washed from behind me while I simply shook my head. Still, the shouts didn't stop everyone from watching as she tore its head from its body.
The staff shouts increased more. I didn't bother since they'd already alerted a large crowd of workers who had convened to watch this battle. Seeing the fight was over and the Creator was looking at the corpse of the Wolf floating in place.
"Alright, the fight is over. To your desks!". I shouted at the idiots rejoicing like they'd just won the international tournaments single-handedly. I could barely restrain my smile.
A staff, the same one who managed the Creator we just watched fight approached with his tablet a grin that screamed 'eat that ' etched on his face.
It was obvious that he knew I sent the Void Wolf. After all, there were no Wolf attacks in this tutorial phase.
"Should I remove the wolf's corpse," he asked his shit-eating grin still apparent. I knew he didn't have anything against me. Just smug that my plan had failed.
"No. Let her have it. She slew it fair and square. Maybe unfairly to her. " I answered and he nodded smiling more genuinely now.
"Transfer everything on her to my desk. I'll oversee Creator 79 from here". A similar shit-eating grin split on my face mirroring his former expression.
I watched him almost choke and splutter as he looked at me alarmed.
"You can now choose some other Creator to observe". I added my grin never leaving my face.
He grimaced and sighed before turning to leave.
My grin disappeared as I turned to face the screen still showing Creator 79 now patting the baby. I didn't even realize there was a genuine smile on my face as I watched. I wasn't the only one though, others had a sort of smile on their face. One that made me realize what we were possibly missing from adding to this game.
Quickly I rose and left the large office space as I made a beeline for the elevator.
'The boss should like this ' I thought as a scene of the Player ripping the Wolf's jaw apart flashed in my mind. "This should be good. And I bet there are even more".
I sniggered at the thought of the fights that would happen yet the ideas I hoped to bring to the boss were sure to make him agree.
'After he chews me apart for sending a Lv5 wolf against an unleveled Creator player'. 'Still, that fight was insane'.

HELEN'S POV
I watched as the wolf's corpse floated before me its jaw separated. Its former ashen eyes were now lifeless.
A shiver went through me at the realism of it. The almost real concept of death the wolf portrayed.
Haero slept his head on my shoulder while I patted him. His breathing was normal as I floated to the wolf. Touching it as I pondered what to do a prompt appeared.

'Ooh. We have loot as well. Smirking joyfully I mentally accepted. The wolf shriveled to nothing at a fast pace leaving only a huge thick black fur, four fangs, and two large black daggers.
Scanning the first item I received information on it in my head.

[Y/N]
My eyebrows shot up.
"This... was a tutorial?" I muttered in surprise. After a moment I just rolled my eyes. "More like a blind man's path." Focusing back on the question I clicked my answer.
"Yes".
