After eating the stew I got my determination renewed, because I had gotten stronger after killing these Horned Bunnies.

It has been three years since my first kill. Now I’m fifteen and damn am I hot!(Yea mah mama told me so). My father has finally returned from his so called adventure! And the first thing he says after returning
“Damn you look hot!”
“I know right cause I got your looks.” Maybe someone should learn flattering from me. Mom saw dad and she instantly hugged him and told him, “It’s been so long”. Then they started kissing.
I got annoyed and told them, “Shower your love later.”
After that various things happened like dad taking a shower. Suspicious noises coming from my dad and moms room. (I know what happened thanks to my dad’s so called biology books.)
After these annoying events dad took us to dinner after taking a shower together with mom. (Weird I know right?) At the dinner father gave me an annoying news that I had to go to school, which made me say
“I know that I said young people should go to school, but I was sarcastic. Damn it!”
Controlling my annoyance I asked him. “Which school?”
Dad replies gleefully, “Tristein Magic Academy in Tristein, the Headmaster is a close friend of mine.”
Guess the right phrase for this situation is ‘Be careful what you wish for’ I sigh dejectedly. I ask, “When do I have to go?”
Dad replies, “ After two more days.”
“Oh”, I say. Wait what? Did he just say only two more days!? DAMN! Well I am fucked.
After talking to dad, I looked at mom and she was totally clueless. Mom looked at dad and told him in a calm yet cold voice while smiling.

“Darling, why didn’t you inform me before taking this decision?”
“W-Well I thought I would s-surprise you.” Dad replies clearly terrified.
“We will continue this conversation later at home.”Said mom.
Dad just pulled himself in deep shit. But whatever gotta prepare myself for the academy. After eating dinner and returning home I told mom and dad and go to the rosemary forest at night. I heard at night more dangerous monsters lay around. Precisely why I am gonna go there now. After all I’ve been killing the monsters relentlessly these three years and I don’t think there are any capable monsters in this forest that can defeat me.
I went in the forest and headed towards the center of the forest as there stays the high rank monsters as there is a mana core just below the center of the forest and mana is a lot denser there. I did a lot of meditation these years and improved my mana pool significantly. I can also say my mana pool is the strongest inside the village. I’ve heard legend of a really high ranked monster residing in the rosemary forest. If I am to find that monsters I am gonna try to kill it and get stronger. And I have to do it during the night time and my time limit is until the morning.
I think I am almost at the center of the forest. Wait what is that giant monster! It is too huge! But I have resolved myself to do this. I will kill this monsters and be stronger to protect myself and those around me.
I think the monster is sleeping. I am getting close to it as walk stealthily. Its head is also big. I take out the katana and smear some poison on it which I learned from experience from fighting a C class Demonic Viper. After I smeared enough poison. I pierce the eye of the monster with my katana and it started screaming and struggling. I move away. It’s looking directly at me.

“Oh no.” – Why is it not DEAD! I clearly poisoned it. How? I think I have to do this the hard way. (Always wanted to say it)
“RoooooOOOoaAAAaaaaRRRRRR” – The huge monster started roaring suddenly as if declaring my death.
I without hesitating quickly run towards the monster with the katana and do a front flip jump before landing on it gracefully. I mastered Swordmanship and Acrobatics and Increased my dexterity and agility. Thanks to them I am surviving in this battle. After landing on its skin I slashed quickly and accurately its nape of neck. Blood starts gushing out and after a loud screech the monster uses its breath to send poison mist in the air around me, I inhaled some of it and am coughing blood. This situation is turning bad for me. While I am in graze it kicks me away like I’m nothing and I hit a tree hard and it breaks down.
“AAAaaaarrghhhhh!!!!” I scream in pain and agony welling up in my body. I think my rib is fractured from that hit. I get up with much difficulty and have difficulties in breathing. Talk about irony.
After that exchange I understand that the monster is agile and stronger than I think, because it is coming here so fast that it is hard to follow it. Gritting my teeth I stood and let out a battle cry there is no tomorrow. I run fast and went behind the monster and cut the Achilles tendon and immobilize him which is useful due to my poison seeping in his body. Because of the poison mist I am starting to feel light headed. Am I gonna die? NO I CAN’T! I have a life to live! I have to marry! I have to get a child and grandchild. I didn’t want to use my magic because of training but Fuck IT!
Thinking about this I ran towards the monster again and this time with all my strength I pierce the skull with my katana and release a B rank magic “Majestic Flame!” inside the skull And the monster dies. But just before dying it used all its strength to hit me and I flew hitting a tree and a rock and became unconscious.

8 179I Have Even Read the Rulebook!

Follow Prof on his road to be rich without working, touring a whole new world without a care and witness his realisation, that despite having read the Rulebook the folks living with the System for untold millennia know more about the rules. Important notes: 1, I'm not a native speaker, so be prepared for occassional typos, iffy grammar and maybe awkward sentences. The spell check was running, when I wrote the chapters, but it works in strange ways... If you point out mistakes, I will try to correct them 2, Scheduling will be two chapters a week, posted Saturdays before noon (CET). Depending on how much new chapters I can write consistently there will be probably more but as long as I have leftover chapters, the two per week will be posted no matter what. Chapters will be around 1500-2500 words as MS Word counts it. 3, I did not and will not post this novel on another site, if you find it somewhere else, please inform me 4, The Main Character's progression is slow, there will be no Levels, Skills, Abilities, Feats, Perks and Cheat Powers raining down on him 5, I've put Comedy as a genre because of my writing style not because the novel is a comedy per se. On the other hand, Traumatising Content is there because there is a lot of speciesism - those Elves are not nice people. 6, I put a lot of pop-cultural references into the chapters, try to find them! Enjoy!
