Knowledge
…
.....
'Well, that is the disadvantage of not having intelligence of human caliber', I thought.
Even though these monsters have high physical prowess, most(not all) of them lack intelligence and knowledge, this is their greatest disadvantage.
In this fight, I only survived due to the low-level martial skill I learned on the Internet yesterday, otherwise, with my physical ability, I could have only managed to run.
As both monsters died, I ran a little away from that place so that no monster could find me. Then, I got near a building and called the status screen in my head:

I looked at the exp I got and was a little surprised. How did I only get 200 exp for each?? According to the physical prowess, there was a huge difference between the shop owner and the monsters but I seem to have gotten only 100 exp more.
"Why did this happen??", I started to think of different possibilities...After thinking for a while, an idea popped up in my head. "Wait!! Does the exp vary according to the enemies' knowledge too!?!?!!"
...The only difference between the monsters I killed and the shop owner excluding physical prowess is their knowledge!!
Suddenly I noticed a difference in the system's status screen:

"Ooo, seems like I got to level 7 in analysis, this must-have increased due to my correct deduction!!", I exclaimed.
Well, now this is a great advantage and a disadvantage. In this condition, if I defeat a human with high physical power and intellect then I can rip huge points of exp from them but that also means that fighting and defeating a powerful monster will give the same benefit as defeating a very intelligent human who I can fight and defeat easily but can't due to humans being the power of this world.
And if I started fighting all the intelligent humans then the public will level me as crazy and evil and finally, I will be the enemy of both humans and monsters...
Currently, I don't have the power to go against both of them. I must use both of them to my advantage until I reach my dream and have power beyond reach[absolute power].
Then, finally, I can do whatever I want with all these races…
'Hehehe...'
But that doesn't mean I cannot fight with other heroes if they agreed to fight...
…..
I look at my surroundings and see that there was no sign of any life around. Considering that, I thought that it was time to level up my other stats, so I poured 100 into each strength and endurance, then poured the other 200 into agility.
I didn't invest any exp in talent for now because now it will just be a waste. After all, what I need currently is str, agi, and end so that I can get enough exp to later invest it in talent.
After that, I felt different muscles in my body being torn, then instantly healed and even my bones seem to have become denser… but it seems like I did not get power up in agility.
So, I only get a power-up when I put all the exp needed for leveling up...
Then realizing that I have become stronger than before, I punched the building near me and the punch seems to have left a small(very) crack in it...
So this is level two. I wonder how strong I would be if I reach level 100, comparing the change of strength in level 1 to level 2, I guess if I reach level100, I could become more powerful than Saitama...

Then again I got to the place where I killed the monsters and grabbed a knife from the monster's head in my left hand and started cleaning the disgusting liquid from it...
I am going to use weapons in this world but I will never neglect improving my physical power, the one I trust the most is myself, not some mere weapon…
I started walking ahead again, just then I saw a group of monsters coming towards me with a smug face, I calmly calculated their numbers.
"There seem to be around 8 of them",
"Hehe, I think I should make this area my exp farm!", I chuckled.
--------------------
[General POV]
…..
In a dark abandoned alley of Z-city, Alan could be seen running towards a group of monsters carrying a knife in his left hand.
He quickly got near the first one and gave him a powerful punch in his face, the combination of his speed and strength gave his punch more destructive force than normal which made the monster immediately fall to the ground…
----------------------------------------
[Alan's POV: After 3 minutes]
…..
I have already killed 5 of them, now in front of me remains the other three…
These three give a more dangerous vibe than the others, especially the middle one, who must be their leader.
They all have shocked and angry expressions but they still seem to find me weak compared to themselves.
....
"Go and bring me his head!!", the leader ordered the other two with a rough voice.
Suddenly the two henchmen rushed towards me, the leader didn't move, it seems he underestimates me…
I gave my complete focus and rushed towards the left one, when I got near him I jumped and gave him a powerful punch in his face then while in the air, I tightly grabbed the knife in my left hand and stuck it in the side of his head…
While he was falling toward the ground with the knife in his head, I forcefully moved my right leg toward the left side kicking another one who was rushing towards me while I was falling towards the ground… [Due to gravity, yeah, gravity still exist]
Landing safely, I punched the monster rapidly for some second, and finally, this one died too…
.....
Looking at this, the leader became angrier and had a big frown on his face…
He didn't know that the human in front of him had such skills…
