Blank was camping outside the wolf pack's cave, currently, there were about 20 wolves in the vicinity, all of them were keeping guard, and it seemed like they were specifically keeping guard against Blank.
He had already killed the wolves who were waiting for him in the bushes. Although it was tough, he closed the mouth of the wolves and used 'Power Strike' to kill them.
Blank was looking for a chance to deal collateral damage like before, but this time it will tough, there were 20 wolves guarding the cave entrance, Blank always wondered what's in the cave that the wolves were protecting it all the time.
He noticed that his skills were almost about to be level up.

Never in Blank's life has he used a knife but in the game, he for some reason was able to use a dagger. This is due to the mastery skill when a player uses their item the mastery skill increases. Depending on the weapon mastery skills either level up faster from skills or level up faster from basic attacks.
When Blank was a child his mother always prohibited him from using any sharp objects due to his clumsy nature, but here in the game, he was using a dagger for an assassin.
A mastery skill has 5 basic stages novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. But, these stages are just basic, after expert there are tiers. Till now the highest mastery skill is of a bow in the Competent stage.
It's a bow as archers rely on basic attacks more than on skills, on top of that they attack from the backlines, letting them fight more than one's in the front lines who die earlier. But, there are many others who will soon exceed the archer.
Blank looked at the wolf pack, he was bored, he groaned. 'I am bored. I am attacking'
Blank came out of the bush, he rushed towards the guarding wolves, the wolves got alerted immediately as Blank came out of the bush. A wolf charged towards him.
'Power Strike'
The wolf was going towards Blank, whole he was going towards the wolf. In a second Blank felt a pain in his chest, the wolf had just attacked him.
[You have suffered 16 Physical Damage]
The wolf tool backs his claw to attack once more but Blank hits the woof with his skill.
You have dealt 78 damage
The wolf suddenly was in a shocking state, since it just lost almost 80℅ of its health. Blank took this chance used a basic attack on the wolf.
[You have dealt 28 Basic Physical damage]
[You have killed a Tserek Wolf]
[You have obtained 98 EXP]
[You have obtained Tserek Wolf Meat]
The other wolves saw their comrade die, they jumped towards Blank, the wolves killed him with their claws this time.
A pillar of light appeared near the statue of Tserek Village. A few locals looked at the pillar of light that just appeared.
"Hoh. This time he came quite a bit late."
"Mhmm. Yeah. Well, let's see when he comes back next time."
"Hey, did you hear that Mara asked him to bring wolf meat"
"Poor kid. What is that old Mara thinking?"
"Yeah. I feel bad for the kid. But, what can we die? We might die out of hunger any day now."
Blank currently was level 5, to reach level 6 he needed a bit more than 600 EXP. Blank had already hunted the wolves three times after he reached level 5. From level 5 to 6, you need a total of 1100 experience points.
So, he had already killed 4 wolves. But every time he dies he loses 0.5℅ EXP, which is a bit less than 6 experience points, which is almost negligible to the 98 experience points he gets.
Wait! 98 wasn't it 100 a few minutes, ago. Yeah. It was 100 when he was level 4 but as the level increases the experience gained also decreases, depending on the monster. Since currently, he is level 5 he lost 2 experience points.
*****
A set of yellow eyes opened in the darkness, the eyes followed the faint light hitting its eyes, as it reached nearer to the light a silvery glow appeared on it's lower jaw.
It saw a human killing it's own kind with a dagger.
*****
Blank looked at his inventory, he was still far away from the 100 wolf meat, according to the quest, he only had like 8 wolf meat, while in the previous three raids he got only wolf meat, it was really a bit sad.
The ones who got the wolf quest from Mara were level 6 players, they had already obtained 50 wolf meat, but there were somethings horrific that stopped them from killing even one wolf.
Blank left the village and directly went to the forest to hunt wolves, he immediately went to the bushes where he always camps looking at the wolves, he noticed that most of the wolves were missing and there were only about 5 wolves in front of the cave entrance.
