Now then how do I deal with an angry bear?

Climbing a tree? Play dead? Bullshit

If truck wants to eat you, RUN and dodge if possible

I did the same, I stepped to the side, changing the angle of my body just enough so the bear would miss

My shield was scratched with its claws and sparks flew around, there was also unpleasant sound of metal being scratched but who cares, after sidestepping the bear could not lose its momentum and once I kicked it from behind it staggered, but did not fall

It was about to correct its stance when gladius pierced its back, I wanted to cut him further, wounding him while moving the sword inside his skin, but gladius would not budge, I guess the reduced attack is doing its job and its skin is bit sturdy to be cut futher when the sword has already pierced it

It roared angrily and tried to turn around, I followed behind, trying to always stay at its back, if the sword won't move, then I will...

I pressed with my hand on the sword and turned it around over and over, making its wound even more painful, the answer was even more roars and bear started thrashing, I was forced back but my sword was left on its back, I plunged it so deeply to make the wound worse, that I could not take it out in time, then I am left with my shield only

The bear is angered to death, wanting to tear me into bloody meaty pieces

That won't do

I looked at her direction, she got up and while panting heavily watched the fight, she was not running, oh come on, don't be so stubborn, I saved you once, if you don't want to keep your life then fine, just don't get in my way

 - ROOOAR!!!

After angry roar the bear went on four limbs and with big strides charged at me

How do I react?!

I stood aside, bear was coming towards me, seems his running is coordinated this time, I don't have much time

I took my mini-shield and threw it at bear while running towards it on my own, I suppressed my fears, more than anything I wanted it to be beneath me, struggling to live, even if it was stronger, I wanted it to bow to me!

While I am sure with my human nature I would surely run away, my monster nature made it so, I felt excitement

I wanted to dominate!

The shield flew like throwing disk and with unexpected accuracy it smashed the face of a bear, which made it painful for it. The gap that I made could not be lost

The bear lost its coordination for a second and in that split second I jumped towards it, landing on its back while it was standing on four

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Due to pain it was going to stand on two and roar, but until that, after landing on its back and almost crushing my balls due to impact ( I hope they are safe ) I showed my middle fingers on each hand and

* Crunch

No matter how good its defenses are, even if my attack is 25% of usual, hehe, even the minimal power can hurt the eyeballs

With all the force I could muster I crushed its eyeballs, then it stood on four, thrashing and roaring in pain and anger, but its anger was no longer directed

I was thrown from the back, then I took out my gladius from its back and grabbed my shield

I wanted to bash my shield to its face but that fucker was too tall if it stood on two, so I waited until it went down

Soon it did, after thrashing around violently

Of course I tried to not get in its way and when it landed on four, to my height I bashed my shield to its face, it wanted to roar and opened its mouth

The chance

I took the risk and placed my gladius in between its jaws, making so if it closed its mouth, his jaws would be pierced, it was placed rather smoothly, while it opened the jaws the space in between was just enough for gladius to be stuck

Its saliva flew around, its eyes were bleeding, it did not manage to hold on like that and its mouth started bleeding, then after dodging its uncoordinated attack, after all it could not see me anymore, I grabbed my shield, crouched down, placed myself under its mouth and grinned

* Bash

I bashed its lower jaw from downwards and gladius that was stuck in its mouth did its job

I ran away and watched the show

It was no longer roaring with might, it was whimpering in pain, but I don't care, want to eat me? Then prepare to get eaten yourself, if it landed a single attack on me, I would be finished, I would at least break some bones

I was amazed by my accurate fighting style, sure, I had some battle sense from my past life, but I did not think it would be this handy, I learned how to stand against the older opponents while suppressing fear while I was kid myself

I looked at her direction, why did she not flee? Well, the reason why I saved her is not sincere, I was bullied myself when I was kid, wanting to stand up against them, I did not give up and entered mixed martial arts school, seems I was a bit talented and I beat my bullies in the future, but it was no longer that fulfilling since they did not bully me excessively either

Then I was more confident, having high grades, knowing how to defend myself, having good looks, I was confident, still it did not forbid me from being a hikkomori, a damn shut in who did not really care about the real world, now it all changed, the world I live in resembles the ruthless game, yet it's so realistic, authority is determined by power, societies are build upon power and corpses of thousand others

It's cruel, I miss some things from my world, but it does not matter anymore, because for the first time in my life, I have a goal and that is to get stronger

I looked at her again, she reminded me of my past self, I tried to stand up like her, even if I was stepped on, now it's just a good memory, due to that, I learned how it feels to be in pain, how it feels to come back and how it feels to be strong, I did not regret, I thought it was a fortune that I was bullied, but if my personality was different I would turn out pitiful, that's what I was afraid of in the first place, even as a kid I read a lot of novels, I did not want to be like certain protagonist so I was determined to pour my blood and sweat in myself, to get stronger

Still, a damn truck was stronger than me, weird thing to say but there was no way I could survive that

Now I'm gone from my world, nobody remembers, I never existed there, so I'll make sure I exist here and leave my footsteps, be it of a villain, hero or a plain passerby who just wants to live a fulfilling life

And I have a great question

Do they have chocolate here?

...

...

I awoke from daze after hearing the whimpering sounds, jeez, it's not dead yet? It could not see so it could not flee, well then, how do I finish it off? Its skin is tough, I'm sure it will die after bleeding from mouth but it's going to take a long time and I want my gladius back

What do I do?
