Grinding

After Kai's death, the only thing I did was grind levels, not even for money or anything. I just wanted to get strong enough to make sure I could beat the bastard who did that to him. I wanted to kill him, and I wanted to do it alone.

I hadn't seen Yunoji since it had happened and I was worried for him, but I couldn't let that stop me. I killed monsters over, and over, and over again. I didn't sleep, I didn't go back to the village, I just stayed in the monster field and killed until I was exhausted, and then killed some more. Before I even went back to the village to eat, I had went from level 37 to 72. I wanted to be stronger. My strength wasn't enough. I decided it was time for a new sword. My current one was cracked and withered from the level grinding and how strong I had gotten. But I needed more. I went to the blacksmith and gave him most of the money I had saved up to make me a new sword. He did just that. I made the decision to go home and sleep while my new sword was being forged. When I woke up the next morning, the sword was ready. It was amazing. Perfect weight, durable, and powerful. Each swing sent a slash of wind strong enough to shatter trees with ease. I went to test it. It was better than I thought. It killed them with ease. I reached level 120 before I decided it was enough. I was ready to kill the son of a bitch that killed Kai.
