Grim returned from the library.

"Let's learn the skill first." He took out the skill scroll and started studying it.

He was able to learn the new skill 'solar wave' in an hour, thanks to the help of the system.

"The host has learned a new skill 'solar wave'."

"The skill allows you to release a wave of fire in a direction. There is no limit to the skill as long as you have Qi."

"With this, I have all the basic elements."

Grim was not satisfied with his progress. So, he decided to cultivate again.

He came out of his room after a week of cultivation.

Cultivation was not all about absorbing Qi and making breakthroughs. State of mind also played an important role. So, Grim decided to get some fresh air.

He went to the shack to look for Meng Rong and Teng Guo. He wanted to take a group mission with them.

But, they were away on a mission. So, Grim decided to take a hunting quest himself.

He went to the mission hall and started looking for missions.

While looking for missions, his eyes went to the particular scroll.

'20 points for hunting 5 orcs. Minimum strength required: peak-level of mutation realm.'

"Orcs, huh!" Grim had heard about orcs in his previous life. They were big, ugly, green-skinned, and brutish monsters often depicted in fantasy.

"I'll take this." Grim took the mission scroll and place it in front of Xue Ah.

"It's orcs this time." Xue Ah wanted to say something. But, she gave up. She was already familiar with the deeds of Grim.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Xue Ah couldn't help but blurt "How are you able to fight against enemies strong than you?"

"That's a secret." Grim took the mission scroll and went out of the mission hall.

The time limit for the mission was 20 days.

He could hunt monsters freely now that he was alone. So, he only packed sufficient water for this trip.

Grim arrived at the forest within a day. Then, he decided to hunt a mutated rabbit for food.

Grim cooked the rabbit over the fire and ate it. Then, he decided to take a nap until the evening.

He woke up in the evening and started cultivating. There was no time to waste for him.

His schedule continued for 4 days until he arrived at his destination. He had managed to accumulate 800 Evo in those four days.

He was able to spot a group of orcs after arriving at his destination.

They were just like the fantasy had suggested. Their entire body was covered in green skin. They were huge and ugly.

In terms of weapons, one of them had a mace, one had a club and two of them had wooden bats.

Grim decided to use test his new skill.

"Solar Wave" A wave of fire headed toward the group of orcs.

They were caught by surprise. So, the attack had landed.

But, it did not cause any serious injuries. There were only superficial burn scars on their skin.

They were enraged. So, they started charging toward Grim.

"Solar Wave." Grim spammed the skill a couple of times. But, stopped when they were in melee attack range.

They started swinging their mace, club, and wooden bats.

"Thew" Grim decided to multiply his strength by 20 times and faced them head-on.

Bang!

The attack had landed. But, there was no injury in Grim's body. Instead, he was pushed back a bit.

"Brute force might not be enough to deal with them. But let's give it a try."

"Thew" Grim multiplied his strength by 25 this time.

"Dash" Grim appeared near the orc and punched his face.

Bang!

The orc was sent flying, and everything was decimated on its way.

However, the orc got up after a few seconds. It was alive despite getting punched by Grim.

But, it was wounded in the face and was bleeding green.

"Let's use poison this time."

"Toxin" Grim covered his hands with poison

"Dash" He appeared near the orc and poked its eyes.

The poison from his hands made its way to the orc's eyes. Then, it started spreading to the brain and its whole body soon.

The orc was killed within a few minutes.

[Congratulations to the host for eliminating an orc]

"You have obtained 400 Evo"

Grim repeated the same method to deal with others.

After ten minutes or so, Grim had killed all four of the orcs. Then, he sold the corpse to the system after harvesting their fangs.

Grim was able to gather 8 fangs from the orcs. He still needed 2 more to complete.

Grim decided to travel further into the forest.
