(monster with * tag are special case one, it means they aren't in the evolution chain, so when they evolve, they won't turn to those * tag ones, but they are still monster of the said species)
(while monster with × tag are special one, yet they have their own evolution chain)
(monster with > tag means the monster could evolve either of those species)
(this record will be a reference for both dark ages, and tower defense)
(I'll be adding more monsters here from time to time)
<[×××××××{}×××××××]>
[Island of Unexplored Treasure], or so I called it, has a diameter twice the size of the island I live in, or more, as I didn't yet fully explored this place that much, but as I move forward, the size of this island is quite bigger than the island I have inhabit.
So as I wasn't yet able to explore this whole island, fully, the monsters I have encountered so far are [Iron Tier], but among those [Iron Tiers], {Wolves} are amongst the one that are tricky, and hard to deal with.
Canis, or Caninae are species that has a treat, or looks like dog, such as {Wolf}, {Fox}, {Cayote}, and etc. This kind of species are quite decisive, intelligent, and remarkable type of leaders. In a group or pack, this species shown how much of a leader they should be. They knew how to command thier pack, lead their pack, and be the leader of their pack.
Though they are some cases that some of them are found alone, or independent towards the other group, but they mostly hunts, or seen in pack, a large pack. Which is why, especially in their favorable terrain, they are a menace, especially in this world.
If what I have heard isn't me, merely hallucinating due to fatigue, then I should be very vigilant to my surroundings, and always be on look out. I don't know what kind of {Wolf} I am about to deal with, but I need to be very extra careful on venturing this island, or this is will be my last one doing so.
(Author's POV)
As he silently dock his long boat near a wide, old tree, at the edge of the island, he then slowly went out, and tied his boat to the said tree, tightly as much so it won't be carried by the strong wind.
He then carried his spear, with a medium size, from his boat, place his short sword at his waist, and carried his wooden shield to his left. Taking a deep breath, he then started venturing the island, once again.

Reading the map he made to track the path he already went into, Shin then went towards the towering boulder, which roughly has the same size of a medium hill(50 - 84 meters). Climbing the steep ground wasn't easy, but as he already been there for several times, he already knew his way of it.
He then took out his DIY Spyglass, which is build with a wooden tube, and a glass that he lap with some [Tooth Cream]. [Tooth Cream], or tooth powder is what was used here when toothbrush wasn't yet invented, or discovered. It is made from crushed seashells and mixed with essential oils, from a {Casia} plant (Latin translation for lavender).
As most people here doesn't have the best when it comes to basic hygiene, a certain alchemist made such invention, when a mass of people complained for toothache, and bad breath. The experiment went on until it was found out that Charcoal, and burned crisp of seashells could make your teeth white, with mixture of some aromatic plant, that could help making your breath refreshing, and teeth clean.
With that, he then used it as a lapping material for the glasses he have here in hand - which is by rubbing 2 objects together with an abrasive material in between, like grinding so to say - to make his very own homemade concave, and convex mirrors. With that, he was able to make his very own Spyglass.
Climbing just below the top of the boulder, so he won't be able to be noticed by anything, he then survey the area using his Spyglass. He then tried accessing the situation by knowing - those he could only see - which path to take, and what monsters he might confront. But with such dense forest, he didn't place all his hopes to this simple sightseeing, but to atleast have some backup, just in case
.....
After climbing down the towering boulder, he then made his way to the dense forest.
Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp
Rustle Rustle Rustle Rustle
Swoosh
As the forest sang its song with different melody, Shin silently made its way, holding griply his spear as he move, while keenly observing his surrounding area.
To avoid those keen smell of those {Wolves} and other monsters, he place some [Amorphophallus Titanum] (scientific name for corpse plant) and [Ocimum Tenuiflorum] (scientific name for holy basil). [Amorphophallus Titanum] has a smell akeen to a dead corpse, while [Ocimum Tenuiflorum] has some different odors that it produces, like some strong cat pee smell.
He pounded the Spadix - the white stalk at the center that looks like a spike - using pestle and mortar - which made from stone - to let out the foul smell of it, while the [Ocimum Tenuiflorum] has to be 1st contained with some Onions, so it will release its disgusting scent. Onions acts a compound component that let [Ocimum Tenuiflorum] release some disgusting smell, which is different to its pleasant scent.
After pounding them, he then stored them to a small bag, and hang it to its waist. The scent of both of these plant is deadly, especially to those with keen sense of smell, but as he was near to those 2, he have to endure for a long time, or he might throw up now and then. He practiced himself to endure the smell of these 2 plants for quite some time, to make sure it won't hinder him useless when something happens.
He tried to use some [Casia] but it ended as a failure, as placing some fragrant scent to your nose, while smelling those foul smell will overlap each other, causing something more disgusting, so he didn't use. With both his knowledge in his world, and the other, he was able to make himself at least survive in this world.
.....
Following the map he made, he made his way to the west of the island. As he made his way
Snort Snort Snort
Grunt Grunt Grunt Grunt
Paw Paw Paw
A group of 5 {Boars} can be seen in the distance, just some meters away from him, eating as they chew some grasses. Seeing them, he then silently encircle as he made his way to the back of this monster's group.
They might be [Iron Tier], but a group with that won't be easy to vanquish. A horde of [Iron Teir] could be classified as [Copper Tier], and a horde of [Copper Tier] could be equal to a [Silver Tier], and so on.
After making his way around of those monster, he then continued.
.....
Grunt Grunt Grunt Grunt
Paw Paw Paw
Just a distance away from those group, he then found a lone {Boar}, pawing its hooves as it tried searching for some delicious delicacy. Quietly placing his bag on the ground, he then carefully observe the surrounding area, looked at his back and side, to see if there's anything that might hinder, or something that might out of nowhere enter. Finally not seeing anything around, he then readied his spear with a tight hold, took his stance as he bended his right leg, slightly raise at shoulder level high his spear, twisted his body to the right, and
Snort Snort Snort
Swoosh
He then throw his spear towards the defenseless {Boar}
Thunwk!
Buuuewwwhhhhhh!
And impaled the monster, as he targeted its neck. The {Boar} stumble to the sudden attack, yelp to its last breath, wriggle with its last strength, before it stayed still and succumb to its death. Shin then took his bag, and went over towards the dead monster.
Looking around the surrounding area, he then carried the {Boar's} corpse to a nearby tree. He then tied the leg of the dead monster, throw the rope to the sturdy branch of the tree, and
"Ngh!"
And pulled it, raising the monster's corpse. He pulled, and pulled, and pulled, until it hangs from the tree's branch. He then tied the rope to the tree's root, then towards its trunk, tightly as much. He then took his small sword, and cut the {Boar's} neck, making its blood drip below. He then place some [Amorphophallus Titanum], 4 of them, around the corpse, in a diamond shape.
Draining the blood of the slay beast, could make it last longer in preservation, especially in a world where refrigerator and cooling aren't yet a thing.
He then continued his journey right after.
....
After a few hours of exploring the island, he then marked down the path he took in the map, added some new places he spotted, some area he explored, and carefully drawn it. For 3 hours straight of venturing the west, resting when needed, he was able to think that this island, is mostly 5 times bigger that his island, maybe even more.
He spotted a wide pond with Fishes and some critters living, a bountiful Mushroom grows just a distance from it, and a small hill(<50 meters) just nearby, but the thing is
".... There were no {Wolves}... Why?"
Even how big the island is, spotting a few hunting one won't be a surprise, as it is an expected one, yet for hours of venturing, he didn't find any. It could be in the other side of the island, maybe it stalk in silence as it hunts, or maybe it was already around here, with quiet footstep as it follows, carefully observing the prey it spotted.
He didn't know which among them were hit, so he needed to be careful to his vicinity with a tight gaze, a single miss look will be his downfall. He then place back his map to his bag, and went back to the corpse of the beast he hunted, he needed to get back to his home before evening.
....
As he got back to where the hanging corpse of the {Boar} he hunted was, he then took each of the bag where the smelly plant was stored, and loosen the rope
Thud
Making the corpse fell with a loud sound. He then took each of the {Boar's} frontal legs
"Hngg"
And with great strength, carried the dead corpse on his back. With all his muscle training, carrying such dead body isn't hard, but not fundamentally easy. With all the blood drained, he won't worry about this monster's stain, so he then moved back to where he docked his boat.
...
After carefully making his way back to where he began, he then slowly place the beast's corpse on the long boat, and sat down.
"[Satus]"
Casting the spell, he then turn his boat, and leave the island.
