First Experience In Killing

The scenery of the mountain has always been very good and greenish for the eyes to see. The extra layer of golden radiance made it even better.

All the villages always felt refreshing by only looking at the mountain. The feeling was indescribable. That feeling was surreal and mysterious. But it made their mind very active.

But no matter how much they tried, these humans could never enter the mountain. The golden radiance always blocked and rejected them. This was the only regret these villagers had.

But they don't know the reason for their rejection. If they knew that monsters were roaming on this beautiful and greenish mountain, then their opinion about this mountain would definitely change. They will start considering whether living in the Blissful Village is safe or not.

Right now these monsters were just roaming here and there on the mountain. They were aimless. They don't have any purpose. They were starving. And their food was a living flesh. But other than these monsters, they didn't find any other living creatures.

This is the reason why they were starving. They find fruits and vegetables as the replacement for their hunger. But they never gave them any strength. They wanted to feast on humans and animals. But they don't even know what they are. And how they even look like. Since their birth, they never left this mountain. And this mountain was their everything. It was their world.

A monster was eating banana. Even though it's eating, it was only just to fill its hunger. But the truth is, it doesn't have any good taste while eating banana.

Eating fruits and vegetables make it feel sick. But alas, it doesn't have any other choice. It wants to have a food which is edible. But other than these monsters, it could not find any other creatures on whom it can feast on. And they don't want to stay hunger all the time. It don't want to starve to death.

Chop!

Just as it was eating the banana without any excitement, it didn't even know when, but it's head was separated from it's body. It didn't even know when it lost it's life. It died on the spot.

It wasn't prepared for this sudden death. As it's head fell on the ground, one could still see that bored expression on it's face which it maintained while eating banana.

Ethan concealed his presence and sneak attacked the monster. He chopped it's head. He didn't want to alarm other monsters whatsoever. So he gave it a quick death.

But before even Ethan could process the death of this poor monster, a System notification popped up in his vision.

[User killed a monster which has cultivation base of 4th Level of Elementary Stage]

[Rewards - Exp : +20; Skill Points : +10; Attribute Points : +10; System Currency : +500]

"Shit! How did I forget this?" ,Ethan cursed himself when he saw the System notification which popped up in his vision. Back on earth, whenever he played the game, the players always used to get experience points, skill points, System Currency and attribute points as a reward. Of course, the targets were like monsters, beasts, NPCs and even other players.

Cultivation world always revolve around the fact where the strong lives and the weak dies. This is the reason why the game never forbids a player to kill other player. The developers always wanted to give the players an opportunity to experience how it is like if they were in the cultivation world.

Ethan was so occupied with the fact that he was now in the cultivation world that, he completely forgot that he could gain rewards for killing other cultivators, monsters and any living being. Now with the sudden System Notification, he remembered this feature.

"If I kill another monster, I think I will have enough Skill Points to upgrade my Sword mastery to Ordinary swordsman level!" ,Ethan thought to himself.

He needed 50 Skill Points to upgrade his sword mastery to Ordinary Level. Right now, he had 40 Skill Points. If he could kill another monster, he could raise his sword mastery to Ordinary Swordsman Level.

Ethan calmed his excitement down. Even though killing will reward him with skill points, Attribute points, Experience Points and the System Currency, the prerequisite is to kill those monsters. If he failed to kill them, and in return he got himself killed, then it is a game over for him. All these advantages he had will be for nothing.

After calming himself down, Ethan moved forward stealthy. He looked around. The monsters were busy with their own tasks. They were not at all cautious. Ethan gave it a thought and found it reasonable.

All these years, these monsters had never stepped out of this Golden Immortal mountain. And at the same time, no one has ever entered this mountain from the outside. So why would they be cautious now?

Ethan wants to take advantage of this fact. He wanted to take advantage of their casual attitude and kill them swiftly. He knew that there will be a time when these monster will sense something wrong and will stay cautious. There is a high possibility that he might get caught before he could finish all these monsters.

He doesn't know what will happen in the future. So before they could be on alert, he wants to kill as many monsters as possible and lessen the burden for the future.

He used the same sneak attack method and killed twenty monsters in next three hours. He took his time. This was his first fight. He was cautious to the extreme. He was nervous. He didn't want to commit any mistakes. So he took time and chopped their heads whenever he got the chance.

Some monsters were strong. Some were weak. Some were at 5th or 6th Level of Elementary Stage. Some were at 1st or 2nd Level of Elementary Stage. So the amount of rewards he received were not stable.

So far he got 140 Skill Points, 130 Attribute Points, 9,000 System Currency and 180 Experience points. With 180 Experience Points, his System levelled up and reached Level 5.

He also received Cultivation Experience points. It even raised his own cultivation base's experience points to 200. He needed 500 XP to upgrade his cultivation base to 6th Level of Elementary Stage. So he is now 300 XP short.

He immediately used 50 Skill Points and upgraded his sword skill to Ordinary Level. He now became an Ordinary Swordsman.

Ethan looked at the next level. He painfully required 500 Skill Points to become an Expert Swordsman. But he didn't become discouraged. There are 58 more monsters waiting for him to kill. If he managed to kill all of them, then becoming Expert Swordsman was within his reach. It will also add extra assurance while dealing with that Young Master Sirius and his lackeys.

But first he need to find the Spirit God's inheritance and that Temporal Spirit World. If he could complete this mission, then he will gain abundant amount of Skill Points, Attribute Points, Experience points and System Currency. The amount is unimaginable. This is the highest level of System Mission. If successfully completed, then the rewards will be really insane.

Ethan then quickly and cautiously moved towards his next target.
