I found a rabbit easily but the next part was gonna be hard. I needed to get hit, ALOT! And with precision. Also the bars in my view don't tell me exact numerical values. They're just bars. To know how much HP is remaining I'll have to open my status in the middle of the fight. But well, all things considered, this was the precisely the reason for choosing a rabbit for the opponent. It was the easiest monster in this forest.

I got ready for battle.

(More like, get ready to hit, huh?)

I couldn't even throw a stone as I had to keep it's HP at max throughout the battle. I went close to it and stomped on the ground. But it just ignored me.

(Wha!?)

How do I aggro this guy? In all my fights I used to hit them with my dagger, so they registered me as an enemy. But if I don't attack, it wont attack either? What's with this humble creature!?

I bent down close to it and observed it. It looked at me with its red monstery eyes, but it was strangely cute, enough for a girl to go 'kyyaaaaa~' over it. I tried poking it in the side and it showed me a glared.

(Oh this might work!)

I started poking it again and again to annoy it. After about 10 pokes, it stood up and attacked.

(Ah finally!)

But I instinctively dodged.

(Whoops. Need to get hit.)

Then I purposely took a couple of attacks.

(So boring. So weak.)

I had to get hit more than 20 times to get my HP down to 100. I took 2 more hits and got to 63.

(Another?)

The next one, I let it graze me and got to 54.

I decided to make the rest of the attacks as grazes.

After 3 more, I was down to 27. Then 19, then 12 and finally 6.

(Seriously!? 6 HP!? WHAT THE HELL!?)

With 6 HP, even a graze could kill me. I needed atmost 5!

(So annoying!)

It was time to decide my next step. Do I continue, or kill it. The least damage I'd ever got was 5. I could try for it again, but it was too much of a gamble. It was better to kill it now and try again later.

(Maybe?)

I had a sudden epiphany.

(No harm in trying, is there?)

I took a distance from the rabbit, opened my status and increased strength by 1. Now I had 16 HP. I don't know if it contradicts with the requirements of the skill, but I was soon gonna find out.

I took another graze and had 11 HP left.

(Yeah. NOW IT DECIDES TO DO 5 DAMAGE!)

I took another light hit and my HP was down to 3.

(Finally.)

I easily dodged its next attack and cut it in half with my sword.

And nothing........

Looks like I didn't get the skill.

I didn't sulk on it and added some points to strength. This way I wouldn't die if I were to have an unexpected fight.

"Congratulations on your first skill!"

Trichia came out of nowhere and hugged me.

"What are you talking about? I didn't get the skill." I said to her. There would be some indication if I got one right?

"Really? I was sure you would have with that fight. Did you check your skill list?"

"Skills." I opened the skill list without a moment's delay and there it was.

Insta-kill MP: 100

Instantly kill an enemy with current HP lower than 1% of your total HP.

Oh!!!!! My first skill and I got it on my first day!

"Shouldn't there be pop-up or something notifying you if you gain a skill?" I asked her.

"Oh that. You can enable it in the settings."

I threw her way an accusing glare but she cocked her head to one side, stuck her tongue out and just went "Tehe~".

I was about to retort but..

RRROOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The earth shook at the sound of that deafening roar. My hair stood at its end and I faced what could only be called a living embodiment of a natural disaster.

Dragon Emperor: The Destroyer of Worlds LVL 1000

*gulp*

I don't know whether the reason that I didn't piss myself was due to being brave, or because I couldn't, in the game. It was still a distance away, flying in the sky but gaining fast and straight in my direction.

It was HUGE! Taller than any building and wider than any stadium. It was so huge that it could probably make love with a mountain. Its body was completely dark with thick golden lines making patterns all over its body. The contrast was so surreal. On one hand, the sunlight seemed to want to avoid it as even its immediate surroundings were dark while on the other, its golden lines themselves seemed to emit some sort of fluorescence. I could only make out its body due to the background being bright. I could only imagine what it must look like in the dark, with only those huge red pupils to look at while they gaze back at you.

Then I noticed something else.

It had more than 10 HP bars!!! How much health did this monster have!?

But there was something else that was bothering me. It's HP bars were coloured differently than any other monster I had faced as of yet. The normal monster's HP bar was red and turned grey over the area where it indicated loss of HP, but all The Monster's HP bars were grey.

I came back to my senses and realised the situation as I heard a voice. Everything started to soon make sense. Why such a Godly Monster was here and why its HP bars were different colored. All of it became clear when I heard Trichia speak.

"That is the last boss of the game. It currently has 1 HP remaining. Best of luck~" Trichia told me and disappeared.

....

....

I took me only a moment to realize what it all meant.

(I can Insta-kill it!)

"INSTA-KILL!!!!!!" without any time to waste, I aimed my palms towards the monstrosity and shouted at the top of my lungs.

I didn't know how to use a skill or what to expect out of it, but what happened next was pretty anticlimactic. The dragon just disappeared and the peace and quite returned once again. Well, the peace and quite apart from the constant dings in my head.

The dinging went on for what felt like a really long time and after it ended, I checked my status.

(HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, I AM LEVEL 327!!!! AND IT'S STILL MY FIRST DAY OF PLAYING!)

Trichia was in front of me, waiting for me to sort everything out. I was too tired to deal with this shit. Don't get me wrong, I was happy and all from levelling up so much but there was another headache coming like the constant dinging.

"I think that's it for today Trichia, I'm pretty tired. I'll go and rest. Though, I'll probably be back early in the morning since tomorrow's a Saturday."

"Umm. Okay. Bye bye." Trichia could probably tell that I was a bit upset.

"Bye." I said and forced a smile.

Again, don't get me wrong. I'm not mad at her or anything. On the contrary, I feel grateful that she's helping me so much. But when I think about what's waiting for me, I get seriously depressed. The system doesn't have a way of adding points in bulk. So tomorrow morning, I'LL HAVE TO CLICK ON MY STATUS SCREEN 5540 TIMES! Just thinking about how long it'll take is giving me an headache.

(Whatever. I'll just go and rest for now.)

"Logout."
