It had been 3 months since Romulus had become a {Scum} he found out that the greatest advantage of being a {Scum} was the fact that his body could use poison. He thought that better control of his body and greater speed would be the most useful ability of this new Class, but it was the poison.
He had been sharpening wooden spears with his poisonous blood and it allowed him to kill beasts that were on a higher evolution, unfortunately the downside of this ability was that it poisoned the meat, making it worth less. So, his Class still stayed the same.
Romulus was drinking the blood of a deer because he couldn't be bothered to go back and forth between the stream of water he found, and it was more convenient for him to just kill a beast and drink its blood. Romulus's body was quite dirty and tattered especially the robe he wore.
The man who had terrorized the world because of his ability to steal under the noses of Gods now having such a pitiful appearance would make the people who he had borrowed items from laugh in their sleep. His black hair was dirty and untended, and his face dirtied and smeared with blood.
Although the fall was quite fast and unexpected Romulus's mental state wasn't too affected. He was still alive and kicking so who cared if he was back at the bottom of the ladder and the climb back up looked better than before because of the System he had acquired. Although he hated the System, he couldn't help but admit that it was quite powerful.
Suddenly Romulus's body shot up straight like a spear. He heard a noise, and it was quite familiar too.
"Haha, little piggy it seems that my revenge comes quite early."
As sprinted toward the area he heard the snorting come from he rushed over with a gleeful beam. He swore revenge against the Hog who tried to bore through him the moment he was teleported out of the tomb, and he was still quite upset about it. Although he wasn't petty to find revenge just because of an incident like this, the reason why he really wanted to kill the Hog was because he felt that he was close to breaking through and the Hog would be perfect for his breakthrough.
It was the strongest being he had fought in this forest and naturally the stronger the beast the greater the profit!
As Romulus neared to the sound, his body started to prepare for battle. His originally pale and sickly body now looked healthy and muscular. He had 10 wooden spears with him and as he activated [Zero Intentions.] It was quite a powerful skill as he used it to dominate the forest. None of the beasts were able to notice and sense him as they would be impaled with a spear and succumbing to the poison before they figured out who killed them.

The Hog was an omnivore so it didn't need to resort to killing other beasts to survive as it could just eat plants and vegetables that it was able to find through the use of its snout that also allowed it easily to shovel through the dirt to reach the plants. Its snout found a truffle that was emitting a scent that would help it reach its next evolution, so it was quite excited.
As it went to the spot where the truffle was emitting the scent his forelimbs went on its knee. Its body was too high, so it always had to get on its knees to be able to shovel out the truffle. This was the weakest and most vulnerable period he would be in, because his forelimbs would be on the knee, and he wouldn't be easily able to escape if he met with danger.
As it started using its snout as a travel, it was easily able to shovel out the dirt in the way as he soon found the truffle. While it was drooling over the truffle it heard something travelling towards its head. The Hog tried to get up and get away from the thing heading towards its skull but all it did was make it that the spear that was originally aiming for its brain impale through its left eye instead.
It let out a high-pitched squeal as it got off its knee. It then observed the surroundings but all it saw was the canopy of trees. It couldn't recklessly move or else it would be impaled by another spear, so it stood its ground and started grunting to intimidate the enemy.
It waited and waited but the enemy seemed to have disappeared like a ghost, it originally thought that the enemy would be aggressively throw out more spears, but it just waited and waited. As time kept passing the Hog noticed that his body kept getting weaker and weaker. Although it didn't know the reason for this, he knew the reason for why the enemy was just waiting, it was because he was getting weaker as time passed while the enemy that was still in the dark was just silently stalking him like a powerful predator.
It knew that this situation couldn't continue so it tried to make a break for it by sprinting off towards a random direction, but 3 spears followed it. It had managed to dodge two of the spears, but the last spear tore through one of its legs and it couldn't keep running because of the immeasurable pain. As it squealed in pain and tried to make a last stand, 5 more spears were thrown towards him.
It used its tusks to block 2 of the spears but the rest of the spears impaled through different parts of its body, and it knew that its death was destined. It tried get one more breath of air and through its right eye it finally saw the enemy that threw the spears at him.
The face was quite recognizable because he tried to originally kill this being, but it was able to escape, and it was the reason for his undoing. With one last snort the poison finally took control of its body and it succumbed to the wound and poison. As the vision of the Hog went black.
