Sora could still feel the mysterious present behind her. Only one way to get away quickly.

With her board sword out, she swung around, but a large hand grabbed her arm with her sword.

The grip was so tight, Sora couldn’t pull her arm free. The shadow lifted her up off the ground and held her in the air.

As Sora stared closely at the shadow, little bits of light from the gray sky shined on the creature. It was an eight-foot-tall crocodile man, wearing a black loincloth. While his head was a lizard head with a thick neck, his entire green scaly body was muscle. Lots of muscles like a professional wrestler who lifted weights for a lifetime. Mostly his upper body was wide than his lower torso. His large tail hung from his lower back, touching the ground behind him. From his upper long jaw were sharp fangs that could eat through a tree bark.

Mob

The crocodile smiled at Sora. “Mmmmmmeat!”

He licked Sora’s face. His tongue was so smelly, it made Sora’s stomach cringe. What did the croc eat?

The crocodile stared close at Sora. “I am going to tear off your fur coat first and wear it to keep my skin warm.”

He rubbed Sora’s belly. “It does feel soft.”

Feeling the crocodile’s touch sent shivers through Sora’s skin.

Without letting her fear escape, she glared at the croc with a grin. “How about you eat this?”

Sora swung his bushy fox tail at the croc.

The croc fell to the ground, letting Sora’s arm go. Sora landed on her feet and faced the mob. Swinging her tail to knock the reptile down might not be realistic, but it sure did help her escape from the croc’s grasp. SCO was a virtual MMORPG after all.

Sora swung his sword down toward the croc.

When the croc noticed his attack, he rolled away from Sora’s blade.

“Crap!” Sora’s sword hit the ground, missing her target.

The croc rose and charged toward Sora.

Sora held up her sword while she faced the charging croc. She knew she doesn’t have time to dodge. Blocking an attack shouldn’t give her major damages.

The croc rammed into her so hard; the mob sent Sora flying backward. Her back hit a tree, and she fell to the ground. Her face submerged into the mud while the front of her avatar body got wet.

Sora

HP: 150/160

Sora rose as her back arched. Mud dripped down her face while her fur got wet, smelling like a raw potato from the sewer.

The croc punched his fists together. “Nobody whips me with their tail!”

He marched toward Sora to attack again. Looks like it was time to try something new.

Sora smiled seductively at the mob.

Sora used charm!

The croc stopped and blushed at Sora. His eyes turned to hearts, and he smiled passionately. “Wow! You are beautiful!”

Sora sneered. “Why thank you.”

While Sora’s skill paralyzed the mob for three minutes, she has a better chance of winning.

Sora charged toward the back of the croc and stabbed her sword into the mob’s back.

Instant kill!

The croc fell to the ground and vanished.

Sora wins!

Sora placed her sword back into her sheath. Fighting that mob raced her heart, but she felt relief she survived.

Thank god I used charm. She turned around and continued walking through the swamp.
