At that moment, all the man could do was cry out in pain because of the wolf’s attack.

He had to act fast. He suddenly remembered that he had abilities, and he bit the wolf’s wet nose.

It worked!

The wolf cried out from the pain, instantly released the man’s forearms.

The man got up and spat out the horrible taste in his mouth.

“Gross…”

He stood up and cradled his bloody arm, and then he looked at the wolf that was nursing its nose with its paw.

“This damn motherfucker…”

With an evil look on his face, the man picked up a large branch from the firewood pile.

The man approached the wolf crawling on the floor and forcefully stepped on its neck.

The wolf tried to get up, but since it was already limping earlier, the man simply had to put pressure on its one uninjured foot.

Crack!

He felt ecstatic as he heard the bones crunch under his feet, was it because he stepped on a soft spot? Or did his strength increase when he leveled up?

However, it wasn’t important to the man why he could easily crush the wolf’s bone.

The only thing that’s important to him now is making sure that the damn monster that bit his arms wouldn’t get away.

When the wolf did try to escape again, he gave it a mighty kick to the abdomen, to prevent it from escaping.

With his whole heart and soul, he kicked the wolf like it was a soccer ball. The kick sounded similar to when one would kick a leather ball.

It was a powerful kick!

The wolf howled pitifully, in great pain, but the man showed no hesitation and continued to kick it.

Finally, when the wolf couldn’t even make a sound anymore, he raised the long branch and brought it down hard on the wolf’s soft stomach.

The impact wasn’t hard enough to pierce the wolf’s skin, but it did manage to break its ribs, proved by the loud cracking sound heard.

He tightened his grip and continued to hit the wolf.

He continued hitting it and didn’t even notice the skin on his palms peeling because of his intense grip. He gave it six more blows before finally stopping.

The wolf’s chest collapsed, and it looked like it caved inwards.

He came back to his senses when he suddenly felt the stinging pain from his hand. Immediately the man realized he got carried away and turned to tend to the bonfire instead.

“tsk…”

When the adrenaline was gone, the pain finally caught up to him. His face was scratched all over, but it was nothing compared to how messed up his arm was.

He frowned and checked on the bonfire. There was enough firewood to last a reasonable amount of time.

Then he looked over the fight between the saber-toothed tiger and the wolf. All his attention was on his fight earlier that he’s forgotten they were even there.

The wolves that were in the farthest part of the pack had already left.

Saber-toothed tiger managed to stay alive and fight despite the wolf clinging unto its neck.

However, as time passed, saber-toothed tiger’s movements began to weaken, and eventually, he fell front first to the ground.

He assumed that the wolf that hung from the saber-toothed tiger’s neck was also dead, but a few twitches from its tail confirmed it was still alive.

The man nervously waited for an hour to pass.

The wolf did get up, but it staggered and could hardly walk. It was moving through sheer will power and seemed like it would die anytime soon.

He looked at his phone; there were thirty minutes left until sunrise.

Soon the surrounding areas began to brighten gradually.

On one side, he had the wolf with a branch sticking like a flag pole in its stomach, on the other side was the wolf that could barely keep itself up.

With little hesitation, he took the branch out of the dead wolf’s stomach and approached the other.

The wolf growled when he noticed the man approaching him, baring its teeth. The man didn’t even flinch. He kicked the wolf with all his might.

It shrieked loudly!

Once again, the man was thrilled to hear the screams of the suffering wolf; in fact, it was too intense of a feeling to simply call it joy.

He was so pleased that it gave him goosebumps.

The man was shaking from excitement and kicked the wolf again.

The wolf rolled around like a ball, and soon it could not even scream anymore. Its breathing became slower and more cumbersome.

The man finally lifted the tree branch he was holding. The last thing the wolf saw was a branch covered in another wolf’s blood.

Their eyes met for a short while before the man stabbed it with the branch; this time, it pierced through the wolf’s skin – the feeling was very much like piercing leather.

The wolf gasped for air before finally dying with its tongue sticking out.

The man inhaled, then left the wolves’ remains scattered around the campsite.

“…”

It was only a slight experience increase, but that was enough to make him happy.

He thought about his experiences from the previous night and concluded that it would be best to stock up on firewood while it was still bright outside.

“Hm…”

When he pressed Y, he was enveloped by a light that healed his wounds. Although the scars remained, it was still better than nothing.

His mental health also improved whenever he got treated, and he felt relaxed.

A congratulatory message arrived again. This time, he hoped he’d be given a better card.

“…”

Once again, his expectations were betrayed. He got the same useless card again!

“Argh…”

He was ready to start whining when his body started glowing again.

“Huh?”

He had just leveled up! Was it happening again?

He was confused for a moment, but the man guessed that defeating the wolf that slew the saber-toothed tiger gave him bonus points.

The man received another reward. His excitement returned, and he got his hopes up once again.

Congratulations!

“This is crazy…”

His hopes were once again crushed when he got a duplicate armor.

It’s not that he thought the card was terrible. He was just wondering how he kept getting the same things repeatedly?

The man was annoyed while he held his phone. He reread the message, turns out there was a difference.

Although it was also a Fear Pack, it was called a Fear Pack (R).

The man confirmed the card details.
