"Fuck that fox is two times the levels higher than me along with its stats," Aariv swore as he looks at its stats. He active [Stealth] and try to fly away. As he tries to fly away he then felt a sharp pain across his side. The fox had scratched his side with its sharp claws by jumping from branch to branch. Aariv winces and tries to press on escaping.
[Pain Resistance] Lv. 1 Acquired.
Aariv felt that he was able to ignore the pain easier and his [Stealth] was deactivated and he had to activate it again and he was still being chased by the fox. "Argh." Another cut across his side. Aariv decides to fly above the trees to escape but he saw branches growing out of a tree near him and then felt pain.
[Pain Resistance] Lv. 1 ---> [Pain Resistance] Lv. 2
The fox jump on a branch and its face looks like it was mocking Aariv. "Tch. So you won't leave me alone so I might as well see who will be left standing." Aariv said. He active [Stealth] and charge at the fox catching it off guard, raking it his sharp talons leaving shallow wounds on the fox's side.
[Scratch] Lv. 1 Acquired.
The fox hiss in pain. It then looks at Aariv, its fill with murderous rage. It then begins to blend in with the shadows and disappear. Aariv turns his head searching for the fox and then barely found it, ready to pounce on a branch. While [Stealth] can help you hide, you can still be seen or be sniffing out which Aariv guess is how the fox found him. The fox pounce toward Aariv and bit him, Aariv grab onto the fox with its talon, digging into its flesh, and began pecking at it. The fox hiss in pain and began scratching Aariv and biting him.

Nameless Hypocrite
"Bastard, surrender yourself!" "You think you can escape our encirclement?!" "An omnicidal fiend like you can only atone in death!" Despite his precarious situation, a young man ignored the union's provocations. His violet robe was in tatters, showing the incredible number of attacks he received, yet there was no sign of injury. Noticing the light smile tugging at his lips, the pursuing heroes warily watched him, cautious of a final attack. It was only by working together that they could corner a monster like him. An arrow pierced the air, beelining towards the young man. A malicious gleam revealed itself in his eyes; he unsheathed his sword, a long, curved blade, and deflected the projectile, spiking it into the ground. The archer's eyes widened before being split in two. He died suddenly and indignantly. The group backed away; their former confidence diminished greatly by the invisible counter. It was then that the young man sighed, his voice full of lament and self-pity. "Being a saint truly is difficult, even the world cannot understand my righteous actions." The expressions of the surrounding heroes turned ugly. Such blatant hypocrisy! Yes, the protagonist is a villain. We don't do morals here. New chaps when I write them

One foot was inside the small apartment we had shared and the other, the other was planted firmly on the cement step outside. Her words echoed around in my head. Am I forgetting anything? I was forgetting you I wanted to reply. Home to me was always a person. And now.... I was homeless. [-]Black Widow x ReaderParker!Reader(GxG)
