I get out of the burrow then head west. Let’s try crossing the little creek. Still getting the feeling of being watched after getting out. This is starting to get annoying.

After walking for about 30 minutes I come before the creek. Ooh the feeling is back. Something deep within me is telling me to get the hell away from here. Suppose that would be my survival instinct.

But at the same time something else tells me to cross the creek and face the unknown. To walk on my path to power no matter what. And that would be I don’t know, maybe my primal urge or something like that.

Since I came here to keep walking let’s keep walking then.

I cross the creek without much trouble considering its as deep as my ankle. Ooh. The feeling of danger is getting stronger survival instinct going of like a cop’s siren. But I keep walking making my other side rejoice. This feeling of contradiction is unsettling and strangely thrilling at the same time.

It feels different on the other side the creek. Colder, more unsettling.

Well let’s keep walking forward then.

Rumble!!!!

Holy shit. That almost scared a crap out me again and literally. It seems it might rain. Hard to know since I can’t see the sky at all in this forest.

Only after taking a few steps I feel a stinging feeling on my left side. And falls to front to dodge and see a big black shadow whiz over me. After rolling once on the ground I crouch and look to my right and see a big wolf with a pitch-black fur staring at me with its silver eyes. Looking at me with condensation and indifference all the while possessing the craftiness that wolves have.

Lone wolf huh. This one might be the one I heard howling the first night I gained consciousness.

Body structure looks same as the wolves I know but size is different. It’s bigger and looks more intelligent. Obviously, it wants to devour me. So that means if I want to survive I need to kill it. Since it’s impossible to run from it. So how do I do that. Unfortunately, fireball won’t be enough to kill it unless I burn it from its inside. Think, think, think again.

Unfortunately, it lunges toward me before I can think of a solution. And swipes at me with its right paw. I try to dodge but fails at it miserably and gets scratched on my left shoulder.

FUCKKK! It hurts.

Before I manage to adapt to the pain I see a gaping maw trying to bite my face. I pull my body back as hard as I can and manages to dodge the wolf’s mouth and rolls few times and gets some distance from the wolf.

Pant. Pant. Pant.

Hoo, this is quite tiring. And pain is excruciating.

Fortunately, wolf is not coming at me. It’s just standing there and staring at me with its silver eyes. Huh wants to play with its prey knowing it can’t do anything to it. That’s cat’s behavior, you asshole. Anyway, that actually helps me.

Surprisingly my shoulder is healing at a fact rate I can see it healing little by little. That might be the perk of high vitality. That gives me more room to fight. I can sacrifice a few injuries if necessary.

It lunges at me again this time with more precision and speed. Swipes at me again with its right paw again, this time I manages to move but still end up getting scratched at the same place before.

Son of a bitch. It hurts even more. But this time I can handle the pain better than before and rolls backward again, getting more distance.

Unfortunately, this time wolf wasn’t in a playful mood and comes at me directly to rip me apart. And it bites me hard on my left shoulder this time. I can hear my shoulder getting crushed and blood gushing out.

Ooh. FUUUUUUUUCK. The pain is terrible. I let out a scream without much choice this time. I try to hit it in its jugular but unfortunately my pathetic body fails to inflict any kind of damage to its tough hide. DAMN IT!!!

Then if your body is so strong let’s see if it is same with your fucking eyes. I shove my right index finger right into its left eye and manages to penetrate its eye.

It whines and falls back. Shit it seems I lost too much blood. I’m starting to get dizzy from blood loss. And falls on my knees.

Wolf is staring at me with its one with hatred in it. HAHAHAHA. Couldn’t help but let out a laugh. It seems this time my Primal urges won. Feels good to finally inflict damage on the fucker. Luckily my shoulder is still healing at an enhanced speed and pain is subsiding. Seems like high vitality and increased regeneration at work.

It seems wolf is really pissed off. There is no longer any indifference and condensation in its eye anymore only fury and hatred.

“COME ON THEN”

“WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR”

It lunges at me again with its disgusting open mouth but this time I shove my right hand into its mouth and immediately cast Fireball. And manages to light a fire in its throat. Realizing my plan, it tries to back away. But I cling to its fur with my left hand and injects all the mana I have and converted from pure energy into my Matrix and burns the motherfucker from inside out.

Wolf continuous to try to get rid of me. But don’t think it will be that easy. I can already smell its throat being roasted. MMMMM smells delicious. Keep whimpering till you die puppy. Let’s see who’s got more guts and will then.

“DID YOU BELIEVE ME TO BE EASY PREY HUH?”

It starts to lose strength. Its body starts to loosen and light in its eyes continuous to dim little by little.

“COME OOON SON!”

“IS THAT ALL”

“YOU SHOULD STRUGLLE MORE TO LIVE RIGHT”

With its last whimper it falls weakly on the ground.

“PANT. PANT. PANT”

For some reason I don’t feel almost any pain maybe adrenaline rushing through my veins.

Don’t know why I got a smile on my face but feels good to win. And smells good.

“HAHAHAHA”

I can already feel my right-hand healing from the bite and the burns. This warm energy surging through my body and concentrating on my injuries would be my body’s vitality I suppose. But at the same time as my injuries heal I can feel different kind of energy being infused into my body.

Well whatever. My first encounter with another life went quite well I suppose.
