As the winds blow softly through the leaves of a tree, a young man ,about the age of 20, prepares himself. Taking a deep breath, he jumps down and stabs a wild boar through the thick skull. As he pulls out his black knife, blue liquid squirts out of the boar, where a hole visible. After its last cry, death takes it and a small blob of green light hovers above it. With a thought, the young man absorbs the last into his chest. After absorbing it, his body flashes a yellow golden color around him.

“Level 4 hmm. Still not strong enough..”

Looking at the dead body of the boar, he then ties up the boar to bring it back to his campsite.

“Sis is gonna be happy with this boar meat. Its getting late. Id better hurry before They come out.

He then speeds through the forest even with the weight of the boar.

Arriving at the camp site with the boar slung over his shoulder, a girl looking in her mid teens excitedly stands up.

“Bro! You hunting a boar!? Don’t you know how dangerous that is?”

“Eh?! I thought you’d be happy?”

“Happy that you’re risking your life out there? Next time on coming with you”

With a sigh, he reluctantly agrees. “Can’t go against you sis. You win”

With them both in agreement, they start prepping the meat until they hear a scream in the distance. Looking at each other then quickly nodding, they got their gear on to head towards the screaming.

Arriving at a clearing of the forest,, a nauseating smell of blood permeates the air, giving they both a frown. The right side of the clearing they see a terrified girl with a dropped knife beside her, stunned with tears streaming down her face. She looked in the same age group with long straight hair. Looking at her facial features, one can tell that she is of asian decent, and that she had a killer face that could turn a eunuchs back into man. With a glance downward he can see a 10/10 body to accompany her gorgeous face. With a shake of his head, he looks towards the left side of the clearing to see something that just made his face pale. It was a manticore feasting on the body of a middle aged man. The creature has a body of a lion, a face of a man, and a tail as a snake with wings upon its back. Without delay the young man runs towards the petrified girl, picked her up on her shoulder and ran. “Run sis! We cannot take this things yet”. As soon as he said run, the sister ran along with her brother as fast as they could. After exhaustion, they sat down against a tree, still hearing the terrifying screeches of the manticore.
