Seeing the bear walk towards him, Jin first thought about killing it with 'Zero'. However, after thinking for a second he decided to use this chance to find out how strong his body was instead. 'Zero' was able to destroy solid stone without problems, so a normal living being would die when hit in a vital area, or bleed to death if hit anywhere else. Jin stood and watched the bear slowly walk towards him, preparing to receive the bear’s attack to test his endurance.
He was certain that with all his stats at 1.000 he could defend easily. It was said that a normal human possessed stats of around 100, but that was mostly exaggerated. When a human reached 100 points in strength for example, he could easily become an elite knight with only physical strength. Also, 1.000 points in strength, even though only 10 times that, would give him much more than 10 times the physical strength of such a person . The higher the stat was, the more physical strength was added with each point, so a person with 150 strength already possessed around double the strength of one with 100.
Knowing that, Jin was near certain that the bear wouldn’t be able to hurt him with endurance of 1.000. Sadly, he had forgotten about the fact that even if the bear couldn’t wound him, the force behind it’s attack would still be able to send him flying against the next tree. When Jin recovered from the shock of suddenly being thrown around, he noticed the four big claw marks the bear left on his shirt. Jin, being angry with himself, punched the bear with all his strength, immediately turning it’s head into meat paste. Even Jin himself was stunned with this, he had at most expected the skull to cave in and certainly not this. He shook his head, he had more important things to do than worry about this now. Like taking every gold coin he could from the young woman hiding under the tree.

“ Young miss, as you could see I have fought a hard and long battle to save you! I even had to use my body as a shield or the beast would have hit you! Sadly, the attack from before wounded me deeply, and even destroyed what little clothing I had left. Ahh, if only I had a few coins to buy medicine! ” he said in a slow voice, emphasizing ever word. The woman looked at him, speechless. What hard battle, it was over after one hit!
Seeing Jin trying to continue after a few seconds, she interrupted him by saying : “ Enough. As promised I will give you the money, you don’t have to embarrass yourself any further. ( But I, the mighty author have to! I’m sorry, I had to. Won’t happen again. ) But can you first tell me your name? You can call me Rea. “
“ Miss Rea, what a great name! It perfectly fits a woman of your beauty and splendor! “ Jin started to flatter out of habit. “ Then, might I ask young miss Rea to present the payment for my heroic feat? I wanted to arrive at the nearby village before nightfall. “ hearing Jin talk about a village, Rea's eyes began shining. “ how about this, you show me the way to the village you speak of and I will give you even more money. “
