Raine was looking at his status through the mirror that Mui lend. With a big leap in increasing his level, he already allocates all of the point to his desire status. More importantly, the hyena contributes a lot to his level making him capable of at least on par with those on the ground floor.

“ooohhh this is good, didn’t thought those equipment has such good bonus, all my hardwork was not in vain” Raine whisper in heart while clenching his grip excited by his newfound status. He feel a bit more stronger compare to before.
With a good armor by his side, the chance of dying or getting heavily injured have decreased by a lot. Thus making him confident in going through those in coming blood bath between him and those monsters below.
His eyes stare at the box load with cubes, he was adamant on knowing what mystery lies in those cubes. But for now he need to put that aside as he has an important thing to handle first. Han’s injury was fatal if he was not treated fast; the injury would kill either from blood loss or infection.
With his equipment set and all, he was ready to cleanse the ground floor from any monster. he need to clear a path for Mui to retrieve books from the library for her to have any chance to gain a skill that can cure Han.
So Mui have to follow Raine into the den of monster down below. She was afraid and nervous, but she grit her teeth and bare with it as she was the only hope for Han’s survival. Although she was the first one that Raine had ask, he also inquire other people skill that was already existent in hope of being able to heal Han.
But unlucky for them, some refuse to talk and some skill are not meant for healing. Most of them are personalized skill suited for their individualistic character.
Raine ready himself and ready Mui mentally so she don’t drag him down. The situation would be dangerous if Mui suddenly breakdown. So Raine need to a briefing for his lovely new partner about the danger of being in battle.
‘well uhmmmm how should I said this, Mui to be out there you need to silent and quick pace you cant dawdle behind if not I cant protect you. So remember one thing stay behind my back always and not mutter a word at all, understood?’ explain Raine with him being difficult of spurting out the word.
Mui just nod nervously. She already kept Raine words in her heart. Sadly for Mui, Raine didn’t want to part at all with the equipment that he gain as though he was already inseparable from those things.
The duo went out of the seminar room where Raine store his cubes and went out slowly with Mui taking precaution with their steps. Both of them stay vigilant afraid of something ambushing them. Raine could have walk leisurely out there without worries but the presence of Mui need him to be extra vigilance. He didn’t want to risk anymore lives.
Walking step by step, the corridor was silent and not a bark rang out hinting those other dogs must have went down. They reach the stairs without any obstacles. As both of them stare at the steps with a hint of nervousness, taking the first step was always the hardest.
Even Raine was feeling nervous a bit, well the notion of him getting involve with other strong monster was undeniable preposterous but he already well accustom to all this chaos of the new world. both of them steel their wheel and make courage out of their heart and take the first step.
Both of their steps reach the first step of the stairs. Both of them felt the heavy feeling fly away in an instant. Then like he expected, things wouldn’t always be smooth sailing. A few Doberman dog caught their scent and ran up the stairs. There was three dogs rushing mad at their direction.
To Raine right now he felt a bit more powerful compare to before and the likes of this mangy mutt would not pose a threat to him. he quickly ask Mui to step back away and take cover for a while.
‘Mui take guard by the chair, I will get this over with fast’
Mui comply and follow Raine’s instruction. As the dog quickly reach Raine in mere seconds. Raine charge forward and take the initiation of attack to them. With his steel pipe he crush them with a mere blow to their body.
Raine speed just now surprassed his old self even he didn’t belive he could move this fast. He felt more nimble and agile and like a force of wind pushing his body increasing his speed. It must be his imagination but his speed truly increased compare to before. The Doberman didn’t have a chance to even bite Raine.
The Doberman quickly drop dead and didn’t leave anything behind and literally no loot behind. He was a bit depress about it as there was nothing he could gain but he shrug it off.
The important thing was both of them were safe. Raine call Mui back with welcoming hand gesture. She follow Raine and the duo travel take step by step down the stairs carefully with minute precision not to sound anything that can attract anything in the vicinity.
Reaching the ground floor both of them held their breath as the scene downstairs was much more worse compare to the first floor. Blood was everywhere, on the floor on the wall and even on top of the ceiling. Pieces of meat and shred clothing laying around the floor. The scene was grotesque and for those who are intolerable to this scene will quickly vomit their stomach out.
While the horrendous stench already sniff into their nose, they try their best to hold on to their breath but still the limited amount that they can store was at its limit. A gush of nauseating smell rush into their nose. Baffling them of how disgusting the smell was. But the urge to vomit was held on.
The library was just by the side of the stairs with only a few steps away. They walk toward the library, with their heart anticipating the worst and as they arrive near the library door. In front of them was a pack of monsters lazing around sleeping by each other. They were those runic badger, a beast define by their high defense.
With them sleeping, the duo took the chance to slip away unnoticed to not provoke them. They quietly walk and open the door, a gush of air blew through them, they shiver a bit as the hint of coldness rushing down their spine. Entering the library, both of them was astound, the whole library was empty and the condition of the library was still pristine and clean and not a shed of bleed damper the cleanliness of the library. A testament that the students in this campus don’t bother of studying in the library. A sad view of how students in this university isnt really interested in using the library as a tool for studying.
Then something move, Mui alert Raine as she saw something. he may have took of it as Mui being paranoid but in this kind of situation anything would be helpful as they need to be on their guard. Raine eye out to the surrounding and he also saw something.
Like a white flash something was heading toward their way. Raine grab Mui and took her behind the counter as a necessary precaution. Asking Mui to sit down here quietly, while he resolves the thing lurking around thelibrary.
With his steel pipe on his hand, he stands his ground in front of the reception desk waiting for the incoming ambush. Then those several white flashes approach him in a speed he barely can able to perceive.
Raine was undeniably unable to hit them while them move as one of those white flash hit square at his abdomen. A sharp felt at his abdomen as something was piercing him from an outside force. But the defense that he acquire lessen the pain a bit but if not he would have be heavily injured by now. Staring down at his stomach, he saw a fluffy white bunny with a sharp crystalline like horn on top of its head. He was astound that this cute little creature could produce this much power. If he had fought this creature during his low level he would have been dead without knowing why.
These blade horn bunny retreat as it blade horn wasn’t able to pierce Raine defense. But Raine didn’t let this chance to slip, he quickly grab the white bunny and the fluffiness that was unimaginable comfortable was felt through his hand. In his mind he thought;
“argh it would be waste such fluffy bunnies need to be killed” sigh heavily within his heart
His steel pipe landed on the bunny and with just a quick blow it flop dead.
“eh its dead?” question Raine.
But it make sense, as this fragile creature to be so fast they must have lacking in an opposite criteria and in this case its defense and health point. Then bunny squeak start pouring in the air of the library as one of their brethren has a quick death.
Mui who was behind the counter felt weird out by the sound, it wasn’t terrifying but rather abnormally weird to hear.
But Raine thought otherwise;
“here comes the bunnies”
Bright flash of white lights were coming toward him from multiple directions it happen all of a sudden. These bunnies are the real deal and Raine…
‘argh!!’
Without him being able to do anything, Raine was already pierce by multiple bunnies with their bladed horn. Raine quickly rang out of pain this was utterly humiliating as he cannot do anything as the blade already pierce at Raine’s abdomen.
Not wanting to let even one of them Raine quickly hold one of them down and punch the hell out of it. leaving it breathless without a soul. The other bunnies retreat with blinding speed, leaving one of them to be dead by the hand of Raine.
A bit of blood trickling from the corner of his lips. Those pin point cooperation from those multiple bunnies make a pain in his abdomen. Even with his defensive equipment, his health point drop around a quarter of his full life. But he didn’t really know his health point had depleted how much. What matter was to him right now was to defeat all of these bunnies for Mui to do her job.
Another bout between Raine and the bunnies take place, their speed surpass his eye vision. Raine’s forehead start pouring down with beads of sweat, underneath the cooling air of the air conditioner it was likely that he was feeling the heat of the battle.
Then they came, like a white light converging from multiple direction it head to the same spot with the intention of piercing Raine’s abdomen. But Raine smirk as he already anticipate this with the intention intercepting the attack he held high his steel pipe wanting to crush from above with one single sweep nonetheless it was in vain, as Raine hold his steel pipe the speed increased by a notch and he felt another cycle of blood starting to spurt out of his mouth.
Raine felt irritated as these bunnies pose a threat to him, who would have though for someone who kill ravenous Doberman dog, big ass hyena but to falter and unable to anything against a bunch of cute little bunnies was indeed hurting his pride.
Feeling rage swelling inside of him, he calm down and shout to those bunnies;
‘you are courting death!!’ shout Raine toward the silent library.
Mui at the back could only hear what Raine was shouting;
“what the hell is he shouting about” spoke Mui within her
But after spoken those lines, raine regain composure as those line itself was rather amusing to him no matter what the situation was. It act as a calming agent from him being irritated by those fluffy things.
“fuh at least im calming down a bit but damn those fluffy things, the only thing I can do is to time myself”
Then as he posture himself to ready for another attack, his eye glance at the two bunny corpses below him. then an idea struck into his mind. He didn’t know if it would or not since they are beast but it was well worth a shot.
With his free hand, he grab the two bunny corpses by the ears raising them into the air and shouting at the silent library.
‘KNOW THIS YOU BUNNIES, YOUR FATE WILL BE THE SAME AS THIS TWO SACK OF WHITE SHITS!! YOU HEAR ME!!’ shout Raine with his utmost trying to provoke the bladed bunnies by using their brethren corpses. Although there was no honor by raine’s action in this kind of new world everything goes even all of those dirty cheap tricks. The goal was to survive and be alive.
Raine hit those corpses of bunnies like a baseball throwing them in mid air and swing his pipe like bat. With his current strength the pipe he wield demonstrate a power that crush the whole bunnies body in pieces turning into mush.
Waiting for a few second then his cheap trick result came in. one flashes of light came straight to him with a squeaking bunny sound of rage. Raine smile knowing his plan work, he make his posture as if a batter waiting for the ball and the ball was none other than the bunny. With only of them handle Raine swing and it hit!!!!!!!!!!!
HOMERUN!! The white bunny hit the wall and drop dead into the floor, its suicidal action brought to naught as Raine clearly knows what he was doing. Then a torrent of white flash come in speed unimaginable to the human eyes. Raine adjust his posture quickly strike them all out after getting use of their speed.
Although he cannot properly see them but as long as his timing was correct he hit it with 90% accuracy. Some of them was miss but he finish it off with a squeeze from his hand crushing the soft bunny frame from his 33+ grip strength.
These repetitive batting scenes go on until mounds of white fluffiness surround Raine in a semi-circle motion. Even his stamina reaches his limit after all those repetitive batting sequence. He was catching his breath, as he look at the blinging on the carpet floor. He at least felt that his hard work wouldn’t go to waste.
While he supporting himself with the steel pipe, his eyes scan the surrounding for anymore unwanted guest. After making sure that everything was clear Raine called out to Mui.
‘Mui, come out its safe’ said Raine to Mui.
Mui stands up behind the counter and proceed going beside Raine unconsciously as she saw the mounds of white fur around Raine. she felt the urge to hold those fluffy thing but her alertness to safety hinder her from reaching her hands out.
‘Raine lets go, we cannot waste anymore time’ said Mui.
Accompanying Mui going through the bookshelves, Raine was keeping an eye out for anything. Mui was searching for titular book that involve suturing and such as that was the main component in treating Han. She haul a lot of book than expected ranging from management for open wounds to anatomy of the human body. with the involvement of arteries in Han’s shoulder it would be wise of her to at least revise and memorize the shoulder not wanting to pose any risk to Han.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
As the books pile up, Mui start reading with her utmost earnest. While the leading woman reading the books to her heart content, the man Raine scour around the library searching for anything that can caught his eye.
Passing through all of those book shelves the empty library felt a bit spooky since there was no one around. He even a sort of nest like dwelling underneath a desk made out of torn books. It seems to be none other than the deceased monster home. Too bad that the home was left for no one to stay.
Rummaging through the monster’s nest, he didn’t find anything particular interesting and leave with his heart felt regret of not finding anything valuable. Passing by the hardworking Mui, he was not interested in reading anymore of those book as the time right now has change and the degree that he yearn for doesn’t amount to anything in this cold hard world.
Moreover he didn’t have a skill as useful as Mui, for Raine the skill that she has allow her to be a cheat like character in some sense. Just by reading she has the probability of gaining a new skill and from Raine knowledge to learn a skill was through tutoring from another person or from a skill book. Well this are all from his gaming experience he didn’t know the really exact method to learn a skill. even so he felt jealous compare to him his skill was only usable when he was sleeping.
Even so he at least felt grateful for it, for a while now that skill had maintain his survival rate quite on the higher side. Raine shrug his shoulder not wanting to linger that thought within his mind. while walking around the library leisurely without nothing to do, his eye notice the new recreation relaxation room inside the library.
It’s a new feature employ by the campus community to attract students to study in the library but too bad it doesn’t see the light of their idea come to life. Raine who was bored approach the door and peek into the small glass window on the door.
With his eye scurrying through the whole room, he immediately let out a grin as he saw what was lurking in there. In the room was fill with slime like monster shape like a pudding. Yup pudding except the difference was the slime was pink in color and there was no eye and mouth like those that Raine saw in his game playing days. The only thing visible was the core like gem inside the pudding slime, changing and moving in direction within its pudding body.
Staring at those pudding slime for amusement, a bright flash of an idea come forth within his brain. An idea that he suddenly off after all the things that have been through in these 3 days.
“yes, this is it then I wont feel guilty” exclaim Raine
Raine open the door trying to confront these slime like monster too see if its suitable for his classmates. As he open the door a bit, he enter while blocking the noticing slime from going out. He kick them a bit not to let them let out. And after entering he close the door, and stand still waiting for the attack of the slime.
But contrary to his believe, the slime only walk I mean sliming around him not bother to attack him.
“ah I was too preoccupied by those aggressive monster that I forgot that there were some of those monster that is passive in nature”
He then initiate a fight with one of them pudding slime. He kick one of those pudding and after a few seconds, the disoriented slime make its move. One part of its slime stretches out changing into a tentacle like shape and try to strike down Raine.
With the tentacle like a whip motion, it flip and swing to Raine’s leg but…
“I cant felt a thing, is this thing even attacking me” felt Raine with his face turn blank and expressionless. Looking at his health point through the mirror, he saw that his health point only decreased only about 0.5 HP.
“oh well at least this thing is suitable for them all, after Mui finish her reading I will let her try dealing with this hehe” a sinister grin suddenly cross his face. An unspeakable imagination cross his mind one that would not be suitable for young ages hehe.
Kicking the pudding slime back to the center of the room, Raine then exit the room and securely close the door not wanting any of those ‘helpers’ of his to get loose.
But one thing bother him, for this plan of his to work he needs one more assurance for his classmates. With his palm already perch to his chin, he was thinking hard to solve this. Then his eye saw those bunnies.
“eureka!”
Mui’s POV;
I can read these faster from before and I can mostly remember all of these information in just mere seconds. This skill truly shine when I properly use it. it just like I obtain an eidetic memory.
Fuh I cant slow down, I need to read more books Han’s life is in my hand right now and I cant let him die!
---
Three hours has passed and Mui has finish reading all the necessary book involving to Han’s injury. She then hesitantly hold her mirror, with her heart feeling nervous the probability of gaining a skill was quite low but still she open its.
‘YES!!!’ shouted Mui with her voice fill the library.
On the mirror reflection, she saw the sentence that makes her shout of happiness.
You have learn a new skill
Raine who was busy with white mounds around him, was surprised by the sudden burst of shout coming from Mui. His head quickly glance and Mui was already running toward him. a joyful expression can be seen in her face notifying Raine of her success.
‘Raine, see here I gain a new skill’ said Mui with her smile grinning from ear to ear.
Mui who was too excited of gaining a new skill show Raine of her mirror. Raine see it to himself and read the explanation of her new skill.

Require another set of skill, Anatomy of a Human allowing minimal risk in damaging the internal part of a body. if lack in this skill, the user skill may only be use upon external wound. Since learning through book, a penalty would be apply until skill level reach Beginner.

Can be master by reading books or dissecting body of a human.
Structure master;
- Shoulder(bones, arteries. Veins, muscles, nerves)
‘ouh this is good’ exclaim Raine to Mui, while reading through the explanation. He believe this Mui carries an incredible potential. Just by reading for three hours she has learn two skills, just imagine she reading all of these book in the library she would have been an accomplish doctor in every discipline. Because based on the skill itself, for active skill there is a penalty apply while for the passive there is no penalty and the skill is already at the beginner level.
Moreover if you think about it, if she reads all known books in the world she could gain an immense amount of skill making her a rather powerful human. If the RPG game apply to Mui there’s only one word that she could be describe as, ‘Cheat character’.
Mui ask of Raine what he was been doing since the time she start busy reading;
‘by the way what have you been up to?’ ask a curious Mui.
‘ahh, just a side plan for you guys’ said Raine with a grin.
‘eh for us?’ surprised Mui with her eyes currently try to find the side plan of his. The only thing she saw was a bunny corpse that Raine kill with his hand on its horn.
Raine who was working on something stop his nimble hands and grab something at the side, he casually toss it to Mui for her to catch.
‘catch’ said Raine
Mui flustered for a while as it was sudden but she caught it nicely as it lands on her palm. Her eyes turn wide by the sight of this thing in her hand.
‘Raine this?’ stutter Mui as if she didn’t believe at what Raine have gave her.
‘yup it’s a weapon for you guys’ answer Raine simply.
‘but why we…’ Mui stop on her track, she suddenly realized what he meant by giving this weapon. Her eyes turn solemn a bit as if Raine thought of them as a burden and not as a friend. But she realized in this change new world, one needs to prioritize themselves before others.
On her palm was short size dagger made out of the horn of those white bunnies. Those bunnies horn are shape in a single edge blade with jaggered like feature but it was still sharp. With a dark purple like luster, Raine remodeled into one that could be held by hand without injuring the user. but it was a rather crude method just by using layer of clothes and wrap by duct tape. well he was an amateur but at least he got the job done.
While Mui was staring at the horn turn dagger, Raine call out to her while heading toward the relaxation room.
‘mui, come here for a bit I need you for an experiment’ said Raine nonchalantly
Mui hearing that turn worried all of a sudden, but then she remember something;
‘Hey raine! we don’t have time for this we need to help Han’ said Mui with her tone carry an angered tone.
‘yeah yeah I know just come for awhile it only take a minute’ said Raine looking uninterested.
Reaching the door both of them enter, Mui who after entering the room turn panic seeing the number of slime in this room she immediately went to open the door wanting to escape from this monster infested room. Raine knowing this would happen grab the back of Mui blouse preventing her from getting out.
‘Raine!! what are you doing we’re gonna die if we stay here’ shout Mui
‘calm down Mui, relax and see the room first’ said Raine calmly.
She calms down quickly with Raine words and as she saw the whole room she notice that the slime didn’t attack her. with a bewildered looking face. she was looking for an answer as she immediately face Raine for one.
‘no I don’t, don’t ask me for answer’ Raine already anticipate Mui would want to ask him a lot of question regarding this but he shot her down quickly as he didn’t want to bother answering something he wasn’t sure off.
‘anyway that’s not the point, now use the dagger and pierce the slime until you break the core in that slime’ instruct Raine.
‘okay.. eh what?’ once again she was confuse by raine instruction, she knows there must be a purpose for him to ask her to do that but the notion of sticking her hand into the gooey looking thing make her skin crawl.
‘Mui faster, Han don’t have any time left’ said Raine pressuring her to do it faster.
‘okay okay don’t rush me’ said Mui with her expression looks determined. With her dagger on her hand, she steel her will into iron not wanting to close her eyes when doing this. She immediately do image training saying;
“dissecting is much grosser than this dissecting a corpse is much grosser than this” murmur her internally.
With a quick plunge into one of the nearby slime, she miss the core but after a few more attempts she manage to break it into two. While she was trying to hit it, the slime retaliate a bit catching her off guard but the tentacles from this time was short in length and didn’t reach her. With her quick wit, she pierce the core multiple time before it breaks.
Mui flop down to the floor on her butt while looking at the slime turns into a liquid dispersing out of its pudding like texture. On the floor was the core of the slime break into pieces. Beside the core a cube appear out of thin air to the surprise of Mui.
‘ouh lucky you Mui’ exclaim Raine after seeing the cube on the floor.
‘Whats this cube for?’ ask Mui
‘don’t ask me even I don’t know, just keep it I have a bunches of those but still don’t know what its function for, anyway let me see your reflection Mui’ explain Raine while at the same instructing her to reveal her reflection.
Mui immediately show her but to her surprise she saw what Raine saw, a blue screen appear on her make up mirror.
‘this? Level up?’ said a confuse Mui.
‘yup I guess this will suffice, come on we got a life to save’ said Raine while dragging Mui out of the classroom.
While walking to the door Mui ask of Raine.
‘is this what you’re planning for?’ ask Mui
‘yup as you think, the plan for you guys to strengthen up’ answer Raine with a continuation in his monolog.
“so I wont be bother anymore by you guys hehe”
Reaching the door, Mui then question her one more thing about her level up status. She isnt really a gamer so this kind of thing are new to her.
‘So Raine what should I do with all these 5 points should I put it evenly or randomly’
‘don’t worry about that I will be explaining to you guys later, first thing first stay here I need to handle things a bit at the outside’ said Raine while he walk out alone outside with the pack of badgers already woken up. With the sudden appearance of Raine all of them turn alert and aggressive.
Growling can be heard from those mouth of Runic badger.
‘need to settle this up quickly’ said Raine leisurely to him right now these badger wasn’t a threat, the only thing was its troubling high defense but already know how to dispatch all of these creatures easily. Arm with a pair handmade dagger on both of his hand, he make a smooth sweep out of this badger with their head and faces already pierce by Raine’s speed like attack.
Swiping off the blade from blood, he easily said;
‘nothing much’
At his back countless corpse of badger pile up that amount to 15 or so. With his current status this kind of thing didn’t bother him a bit. Raine open the door and saw Mui was still staring at the blue window on her mirror. It seems she was intrigue by this level up system. Nevermind she will get the hang of it.
The duo then proceeds back to the seminar room area while walking silently toward the staircase. Passing through the foyer their silent steps was broken as Raine eye incidentally connected with one of the monster in the foyer, and that monster was none of than the Targoz boar.
“crap it saw me” noticing the situation turn a little bit dire, Raine grab Mui and quickly carried her in a princess like cradle carrying through the stairs with the boar on his tail. Reaching the 1st floor, she ask of Mui to do something ask he confront this freaking boar from his back.
‘Mui listen to me, go get the suturing kit and all the necessary things at the clinical skill labs’
‘but…mon..’
‘don’t worry about monsters, the first floor right now is quite safe so you don’t have to worry about it but if anything happen just shout loudly, okay?’ assure Raine to the worrying Mui. Who could blame her to worry like that as every corner in this world right now was creeping dangerous monster. it was safer to be on the safe side.
Mui nod and ran toward the clinical skill lab.
Raine on the other hand face the incoming boar with his new pair of daggers. He only mutter;
‘come on you pig’
