《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 10: Should I feel good or bad?

*Riiiiiiing* *Riiiing* *Riiiing*
*Oahhhh*
I'm up, I'm up, my goodness, I can't get used to getting up with alarms.
The sun is barely shining, so it's hard to tell it's already dawn, but the sound of birds tells me otherwise, so I have to get up and go downstairs for breakfast.
I go downstairs to get my complimentary breakfast, pick up the clothes I asked them to wash for me, and then go back upstairs to wash up, change, and check my list.
Check my list.
Let's see what's on the list:
Pick up clothes. (X) Buy a backpack (No) Take the mission of the bunnies ( ) Test the skills in a real battle ( )
Then it's time to go to the Guild and take the bunny horns mission, I was thinking about buying a backpack, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided against it since it would bother me when fighting; maybe it would be better to get a military tactical belt and store things for quick use like a potion or something like that.
But I'm sure they are expensive, and I don't have so many objects to be able to use something of that kind; anyway, let's leave that aside and go to the Guild.
I leave the inn and head to the adventurer's Guild, I take advantage of buying two packs of food because I don't plan to go and come back just for lunch, and it only costs me one copper each.
After a few minutes, he arrived at the Guild and took the bunny horns mission.
I would like to take this mission, please.
The receptionist looks at the mission and then frowns a little.
Em, you can't take this mission unless you have an attack skill. Oh, but I do. And what is it? Slash Then please go through the door on the left and show your skill.
After saying that, the receptionist takes me to a large room that looks like a fighting area.
Please show me your attack skill Ok
After saying that, he took out the wooden sword from the inventory to proceed to execute the Slash skill.
The receptionist sees the skill and nods, confirming that I have the talent.
Very good. I can confirm you have an attack skill; please give me your card to update your rank.
I give her my card, and she pulls out some white-coloured paper punch from her pocket, presses it on my card, and makes my card glow.
After a few seconds, she handed the card back to me and confirmed the change.
[Adventurer Card - Rank E]

[On it is one's basic information].
[Necessary to enter the cities and avoid getting an arrow in the knee].
Everything is still the same, only now you can read "Rank E" on the card; all this said, we left the room and headed to the reception.
Remember not to be overconfident, bunnies are agile, and their horns are strong, so they can easily pierce your skin. I'll make sure I don't take any chances. That's what I'm hoping for, by the way. Yes? Where did you get that wooden sword? ..... I bought it .....really? .....yes It looks a lot like the ones we have in the training area. Oh, that's funny. Just yesterday, five wooden swords disappeared, and today you arrived with one; what a coincidence, isn't it? Yes, what an incredible coincidence... ..... sir Ah, what beautiful weather we have today! I have to take advantage of it, see you later!
Without giving her time to react, I run out of the Guild at full speed, while in my mind, I apologize to the receptionist for stealing the wooden swords. I thought they wouldn't need them since they are just a few pieces of wood.
I say that to myself, but I still keep running and only stop when I reach the area of the mountains where the bunny rabbits live.
The only difference between this place and the forest I was in is that more sunlight enters here, allowing it to be more explicit. There is no doubt that this place is perfect for hunting and practice.
I started looking around for bunnies and collecting herbs. Somehow I like to collect objects and materials in the games; it is as if I have become one of those famous accumulators that existed on Earth; the only difference is that I do not have to worry about the storage of these things.
After searching for 20 minutes, I found a bunny; it was about 40 to 50 centimetres long, and the horn on its head was approximately 10 - 12 centimetres long; it was grazing quietly, and there was nothing around; it was my chance.
I tighten my grip on my wooden sword and run at full speed toward the bunny.
It notices my presence and quickly points its horn at me.
As if I'd let you attack me! Slash!
He quickly used the ability, and the beam of light hits the bunny's horn, causing it to raise its head for a second, to which he took the opportunity to attack its jaw.
The decisive hit on this one causes it to fly forward, which makes it hit a tree; as I don't hear the notification, I assume it's still alive, so I run back to hit its head, and it's after that other hit that I hear the statement confirming its death.

[You've caught a bunny horn]
It didn't go wrong at all; let's go pick up the body.
I let go of my sword for a few seconds to grab the bunny's body, when suddenly another bunny jumped on me, I managed to dodge it, but its horn left a wound on my face.
Shit! If I didn't manage to dodge it, that horn would pierce my skull.
The bunny jumped again towards me; he groped the ground to pick up the wooden sword I dropped, and when he finally grabbed it, he made an upward blow that sent the bunny flying straight into the sky; after a few seconds, the bunny fell and took advantage of that moment to hit him with a downward sword blow to do more damage.
That attack caused the bunny to be painted with blood; damn, that was strong.
After that, the notification sounded
[You have hunted a bunny horn].
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Achievement - Merciless].
[You get the Title: Ruthless]
What do you mean I got a title for hunting a bunny? Since when did titles become easy to get? Let's check this out.
[Name: Marco Diaz - Adventurer]
[HP: 300/300]
[MP:110/120]
[Stamina: 120/140]
[Strength: 7]
[Dexterity: 6]
[Agility: 7]
[Intelligence: 9]
[Profession: None]
[Active Skills: Slash]
[Passive Skills: None]
[Titles: Novice Herb Seeker - Merciless]
[Title: Merciless]
[Description: You have slain a monster in a way never seen before, as no one in their right mind would beat a monster to death using another monster's corpse, sir you are diabolical!]
[Effect: Damage towards other monsters is increased by 10%.]
What the hell? What do you mean I used the corpse of one monster to kill another? That doesn't make sense; that's like trying to drive a nail in with another pin.
I tell myself in my head, but my mind goes blank when I check my right hand.
In my right hand is not my wooden sword; it seems that, in my attempt to grab the sword, I ended up using the poor corpse of the bunny horn as if it were my sword, and since I use its horn has the same thickness as the hilt of this one, I mistook it.
That explains the massive amount of blood on the floor; I don't know whether to feel good for getting a title that gives me 10% damage against monsters or feel bad because I got it by using a poor bunny as if it were a hammer.
For now, let's pick up the bodies.
I place the bodies in storage, take the wooden sword and continue my search for more prey; I can't let that discourage me; I just hope no one can see the description of this title.
After 2 hours of killing bunnies, I already had 17 bodies in the inventory; I was about to look for more when I heard some rustling nearby.
I climb a tree to better look at the surroundings and see what looks like a deer, but its antlers are green; it seems like a plant is growing on them.
I climb down from the tree and process to approach slowly, I could try to hunt it, and if I fail, I can escape.
With that in mind, I shot forward at full speed; with the experience of the bunnies, I decided to get as close as I could to give it a strong attack.
The deer notices me, points its antlers in my direction, and runs towards me, so I quickly slide down to avoid the blow of its antlers.
Because it's running, the deer can't slow down, so I go under its hooves; they hit me a little, but it's tolerable, so I unleash a horizontal Slash at close range on its belly, which causes it to stumble and fall forward.
His antlers were embedded on the ground while he trembled in pain from the cut I gave him in his belly. I took the wooden sword and waited another 10 seconds before striking the deer's neck to kill it.
[You have hunted a greenhorn deer.]
So that's his name, I don't know what his level is, but I'm sure it's between D - E; his hooves took 30 HP from me; I don't want to imagine a hit from his antlers.
After resting for 1 minute, I continue my bunny hunting, and if I can, I will also hunt the greenhorn deer.
After a long 4 hours of hunting around, I got another 18 bunnies; I also managed to get two more greenhorn deer and about 30 grasses from the surrounding area.
It must be after 1:00 PM; it's time to look for a place to eat.
I find a rock near a tree that looks perfect for eating.
I took out a food package from my inventory and opened it; just as I was getting ready to eat, I started to hear some small noises below me.
Huh? What is that sound?

Survival Recommended
The universe is destroyed and its inhabitants are thrown into Existence. Eli finds himself in a new world, with a new body, and a System that's more interested in how he'll die. Follow him on his journey of survival in Realms above ours. The story is already completely planned as far as major plot elements go, and it's LONG, chinese novel long. The premise isnt exactly the most original, but after a couple chapters you won't mistake it for any other novel. Be warned this has little in the way of childish wish fufillment and lots of characters are going to die, so don't get too attached. As this is my first attempt at writing, the begining will probably be a bit rough. Please don't shy from criticisms, and I plan to rewrite most of the begining chapters as I get better.
