I was angry. I was sad. But all that I said wasn't meant for her.

It was meant for me.

"..."

She was still silent.

"Sigh... You just reminded me of someone.

Forget what I said".

I sighed and took a deep breath. I looked at the full moon, which was shining brightly.

Why did I break down like that?

It wasn't her fault that people died. I was just putting the blame on her.

I guess that day hit me more than I thought. The feeling must have been buried deep inside.

And when I saw her, the emotions that I had buried deep inside got out.

The wolf was affecting me more than I thought. It would become a big problem for me in the future if I don't handle this correctly.

I think I know what to do about this.

I will kill the wolf alone.

No help is needed.

I don't care how many tries it will take.

"I must kill the wolf alone".

I resolved to not get any help with this task.

But before I did that,

"Am I weak?"

I had to ask the girl.

"I don't know what is going on, but it seems like you have some personal problems.

You are asking if you are weak. But I don't have an answer to that.

Being strong or weak is something that people can say to someone.

I could say you are weak, and someone else might say you are strong.

But is it really that important what people think of you?

So you should ask yourself, 'Am I weak?'"

The girl who called me weak in my first regression gave me an unexpected answer.

Why are you giving such an answer now? Where is the rude girl?

Is being weak or strong something that I decide for myself?

I don't think so. If you called me strong and I lost to the wolf, then I am still weak.

There are only results. That is the only thing that matters.

Therefore, I raised my sword sheath, and I was going to do what I intended to do from the start.

"Fight me".

"Why would I do that?"

For her, it might not make any sense at all. From her point of view, all I have been doing is something weird.

You meet a guy, and he suddenly starts crying, trying to blame you.

Right after, he asks if he is weak, and he wants you to fight him.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

It was a little embarrassing to act like this, but if I regress, she won't remember all of this anyway.

With that in mind,

"It was not a suggestion".

I dashed to attack her.

She barely dodged me and kicked me away.

I didn't land that far away, but I could still feel the force on my side.

She dropped all her weapons except for the spear.

I dashed at her again, intending to strike.

"Why are you doing this?".

I ignored her words and kept going.

She stabbed forward with the spear, and I moved my body a little to the side, barely avoiding the spear.

With one hand, I grabbed the handle of the spear and threw her away with the spear.

"Fight me seriously!"

I noticed that the speed of the spear wasn't that fast when she tried to hit me.

Is she holding back because I am only using a sword sheath?

I unsheathed the sword and dashed again.

This time, I could feel more force and speed in her spear.

"Yeah, this is it!"

We exchanged moves, but her spear had a longer reach than my sword.

'F*ck, she is slightly stronger than me'

I was slowly losing my momentum, and her moves slowly started to get more and more powerful.

Is this really how it is going to end?

If I can't even beat her, how am I ever supposed to defeat the wolf like this?

I don't care if it's irresponsible or idiotic.

But I really need this win.

I thought of what I wanted to do, and I imagined it inside my head.

'Please add 5 stat points to strength'.

Out of nowhere, I felt a boost in my strength.

So as she was about to hit me, I dashed to the side and kicked her spear up in the air.

At the same time, I swung toward her throat.

She could only look in horror, as she saw the sword approach her neck.

Powerless to do anything.

But right before my sword was about to land, I stopped myself.

'I never wanted to kill her from the start'

I only used my sword so she could fight seriously.

I gave a little smile, and I sheathed my sword again.

With this, I finally became stronger than her.

I did have to add five stat points, but a win was a win.

I looked at the girl with the sports jacket, but she was silently looking at the ground.

She soon picked up her weapons and went inside one of the straw houses.

She is probably shocked or something.

I entered the forest to go towards the field. I wanted to make a plan.

I said I didn't want any help, and I really meant it.

Killing the wolf is something I have to do alone. I know that the wolf is probably meant for most players to fight together.

But I wanted to resolve this trauma once and for all.

And killing the wolf alone is not going to be a bad thing.

It can give me more experience fighting opponents who are stronger than me.

The bad thing is that it is going to take a longer time to clear this floor compared to if I worked together with the other players.

But if my skill 'Perfect Clear' really meant that I had to perfectly clear the floor,

That probably also included the fact that no other players could die.

So killing the wolf alone was guaranteed to ensure that no other players died.

As long as the other players are not stupid, they won't die to the normal goblins in the forest.

And who knows if another special enemy appears after the 1000 monsters have been killed?

The wolf appeared after 500 monsters were killed, so it was very possible for another special enemy to also appear afterwards.

It was good to have sufficient strength to carry this floor alone.

I tried to think of a clear condition.

[1st floor]

Clear condition: Kill 1000 monsters [156/1000].

156 monsters have been killed already.

I didn't want to sit idly and wait for the third day for the wolf to appear.

So the only thing I had to do was kill enough goblins so I could fight the wolf on the second day.

Which is going to save me one extra day.

With that in mind, I unsheathed my sword.

*****

I entered the field while eating an energy bar.

The sun was shining brightly on the field. And my clothes were tainted with green blood.

After killing so many goblins, it was impossible to spill any blood on myself.

The whole night was spent killing goblins. But I still did not feel that tired.

After reaching such a high level, I didn't need to sleep as much anymore.

I looked at the clear condition again.

[1st floor]

Clear condition: Kill 1000 monsters [474/1000].

The wolf is going to spawn soon.

I looked at the field again, and a lot of people were sitting and chatting with each other.

These people did not know the dangers of the field.

They probably thought it was a safe zone, and for that reason they stayed behind.

Risking your life to kill monsters was not something these people wanted to do.

But somehow I needed the same people to leave the field and enter the forest.

I walked to the middle of the field, and I shouted.

"A special monster will spawn after 500 monsters have been killed!"

People started to look at me because of my shouting.

"If you don't want to die, you need to leave the field and enter the forest".

Well, the response was kind of expected.

"What do you mean?"

"We need to enter the forest?!"

"You want us to enter the forest where the monsters are? Look at the blood on your shirt.

You think people like us can kill monsters in the forest".

Elderly people started retaliating.

'This was not going to work'

Honestly, I didn't have enough time to convince them.

So I unsheathed my sword and imbued it with mana to smash the ground.

Bang!

Dirt and debris were instantly thrown around, and a big hole was seen where I smashed the ground.

"If you don't leave the field right now, This hole will be where your bodies are buried.". I shouted with all my might.
