The awoke to the soft rustle of wind throughout the cracks of the cave. The sky above the cave was a deep lavender, streaked with threads of morning light.
It was the fifth day since their arrival on this planet. A world both beautiful and bizarre. Day five had begun, but the plant was still silent.
Their food is going to rot soon as the day passes. They have to eat monster meat for their food to survive. They can't even eat fruits of this planet as they are poisonous.
Everyone gathered outside of the cave for their morning training. Today everyone's training harder than before, they have realised what they were doing.
Due to their fear and lack of confidence they were forcing Ayan to his limits. Even when both ankles of Ayan were broken they didn't notice.
Ayan's ankles had completely healed due to him leveling up. And now he insisted everyone that now he will be hunting aa he leveled up also.
Six members of their crew have leveled up and four members John, Zhi- ming, Nikolai and Kaito were left.
Their main problem was not leveling up but the lack of weapons. They only have three weapons even after killing six monsters. It will cause problems when fighting strong monsters.
They were lucky enough to get only the weakest monster who fights alone. But it will not go long, when strong monsters will appear or even packs of monsters will appear they won't be able to do anything.
This planet is a total mystery for them, when, where and what is going to happen to them is unknown. The land of mystery, a world beyond stars.
When their training was over they went inside the cave for breakfast and some rest before going. They went to the jungle to begin their hunting for today.
They start searching for a monster. Today they found a monster very fast, it would have usually taken at least an hour to find the monster.
Pale blue skin, dark green spots on them, big horns, thick legs with sharp pointed feet edge.
Now that the Ayan also has leveled up it is going to be easier than before. Ayan with sword, Haruto with shield and Luca with spear were ready to hunt.
When Ayan, Haruto and Luca get near the monster, Luca attacks it with a spear. That monster easily senses it and dodges easily.
Despite being big it was fast, fast enough to dodge the spear easily. After dodging it leaps towards Luca and tries to smash onto him, luca can't dodge the attack because he hasn't even landed on ground after attacking.
That monster was just going to hit Luca but Haruto appeared in front of him and pushed Luca aside and blocked the attack.
This time it wasn't as easy as last time. When the monster hit Haruto, Haruto was thrown back and collided with a tree. The impact was large, Haruto even coughed some blood.
Now that this planet starts showing its true colours. The fights before were too easy to cast dangers to them. But this time the monster was more powerful than them.
Everyone got scared but they didn't give up. Ayan asked Haruto about his condition and after hearing that there wasn't any major injury, he told him to get on his feet again.
They first take some steps backward, Luca takes his spear again. Ayan takes the monster's attention towards him, both monster and Ayan run towards each other.
When they were almost going to collide, Ayan jumped suddenly and stabbed the back of that monster. But unlike the other times, it did not make a deep wound.
Before that monster does anything Luca throws his spear with high intensity that makes a huge wound on his sides.
The skin of that monster was thick and his horns were like an axe. When Ayan landed, that monster hit him with his horns.
The gap between them was not big and he was also able to use his sword as a shield. He was able to avoid cuts but he felt a lot of damage.
This time they panic more than before but Ayan tells them he is fine. He quickly stood on his feet and spit blood from his mouth.
Both Ayan and Haruto have felt how strong the monster impact was. If they had faced him without a shield they would have almost died.
With anger Luca attacked the monster with higher intensity than before, that attack hit the monster on its last right leg and made a hole in that leg.
Now that the leg of that monster was cut it became slower. Ayan runs from the back and cuts down the last left leg of that monster.
After that they Ayan and Luca both attacked on both fronts, making them totally unable to move.
After that Ayan tore out both the horns of that monster. After making it almost dead, they call others to kill the monster.
When they arrived, he gave the sword to John and told him to kill it. They have changed the planning, now they plan to make strong one's to level up first.
After taking the sword from Ayan, John goes and cuts the monster's neck. When the monster died, a voice started ringing in his head.
[You killed an ordinary class monster "dustry"]
[You got a killing reward, chipped axe]
[You got 100 exp, you leveled up]
When John heard that he got a weapon he smiled and told everyone that he got a weapon, after that he took out the axe from his inventory.
Now that they have four weapons it will be easier to hunt monsters more than before.
Both Ayan and Haruto's condition was bad so they decided to rest for some time. When they were looking for a place they found a cave.
After confirming that it wasn't a den of any monster they decided to rest there for sometime.
The night won't come soon. Only few hours have passed when they start their hunting.
