The system (2)
He became more powerful and agile. That's why he killed the star wolf so quickly. However, there are 99 more star wolves to hunt.
Even if he became strong enough to kill one star wolf, it was dubious because there were 99 more star wolves to kill.
A swarm of star wolves appeared and approached him cautiously. There were a total of 20 star wolves.
Jarred had enraged the star wolves since he had killed one of them.
Grrrr..
Their expressions were enraged and drooling at the same time.
"I don't think this quest will be a breeze.."
"It seems that I have no time to rest."
The star wolves attack him one by one with their jaws and claws.
"Come on!"
Jarred yelled as he hurried in their direction to engage them in combat.
Slice.
Thud.
Slice.
"Haa... haa...
He had killed all of them, and as he had anticipated, he was exhausted.
Jarred sat down on the ground and took a deep breath.
You level up.
You level up.
You level up...
"Hmm."
Jarred checked his status window and noticed that he had acquired 5 levels as a result of his victory against the 20 star wolves. He also accumulated 10 stat points.
This implies that when Jarred progresses through the levels, he gains two stat points at every level.
Jarred has a total of 12 stat points. Then, he divided his stat points equally between his vitality, agility, and strength.

Unique Ability: none

He ignored the intelligence stat since he believed that since he belonged to the warrior class, he couldn't utilize magic after all.
The monsters' drop items were also collected by Jarred.
Some of them were only materials and potions, but the fact that he received a weapon of a unique grade astonished him the most.
A unique-grade weapon was valued at least $1,000,000.
Except for the unique grade weapon, he put all of the dropped items he collected into his inventory.
StarFang's Dagger (Unique)
-A dagger made from the fang of a star wolf.
-Additional +5 stat points for agility and strength.
-A set effect will activate if Starfang's ring, Starfang's necklace, and Starfang's earrings are equipped at the same time.
-It paralyzes the target when it is cut by this weapon at a certain time.
"Hmm, this is a good weapon."
Jarred was delighted to have received a unique-grade weapon because he couldn't afford to buy this weapon even if he worked for the rest of his life.
He switched his weapons and returned the sword to his inventory.
His new stats are as follows: Strength 19 (+5), Agility 16 (+5), Vitality 9 (+5), and Intelligence 5 (+5).
After a short rest, he resumed his search for monsters.
-Time Left: 00:38:32 -
As he walked around, he saw a horde of star wolves. After a small amount of effort, he was able to quickly kill them since he had gained enough strength.
Slice.
Slice.
Slice...
Due to his extreme weariness, Jarred fell to the ground. His clothing was all shredded, and blood from the monster was all over his body and face.
"Haa, haa."
-Star Wolves killed: 76-
-Time remaining: 00:26:42-
Jarred took a few seconds to recover, but he didn't have much time to fully recover, so he immediately got to his feet.
"Only 24 Star Star wolves remain to be killed."
All the dropped items were swiftly gathered and added to his inventory.
"After this quest, I'll sort through the items that I collected."
Jarred also leveled up. He went up 8 levels.
He discovered two items from the Starfang's set: the Starfang's Necklace and the Starfang's Earrings.
Star Fang's Necklace(Rare)
-Additional +3 Vitality
Star Fang's Earings(Rare)
-Additional +3 Intelligence
Jarred also found a pair of boots with a normal grade.
Leather boots(Normal)
-Additional +2 Agility
He then gathered all the dropped items and equipped the necklace, earrings, and boots. He immediately looked for the remaining monster.
He quickly allocated the rest of his stat points in an equal distribution.
Jarred's status has been updated.

Jarred realized that an imbalanced stat might have an impact on his ability. He didn't want to make a mistake and end up regretting it.
He tracked down the remaining monsters and slaughtered them all.
Jarred was utterly worn out and drained. He was overjoyed since he had fulfilled the quest without getting killed.
"It's all over!"
Jarred sat down on the ground and took a deep breath.
-Star Wolves killed: 99-
"Huh?!"
He was stunned at the time.
"One more? Where is it...?"
He looked around and still didn't find the remaining monster.
"I don't think there's anything else here."
-Time Left: 00:10:25-
Jarred has only 10 minutes to eliminate the last monster.
If Jarred fails the quest, he will die.
He went all over the place looking for the monster. Even though he was so exhausted that he was unable to run any longer, he continued to search for it forcing himself, but he was unsuccessful in finding it.
However, Jarred unexpectedly heard a growl from a distance. To check it out right away, he headed there.
What he saw was the last star wolf, and it wasn't just any star wolf—this was a huge star wolf with crimson eyes and a horn on its head, unlike the smaller star wolves he had earlier battled.
"Isn't that the Star Wolf's boss?"
There are barely five minutes left for Jarred to hunt this monster. He immediately restored his health using the healing potions he had gathered.
"!!"
The Star Wolf became aware of Jarred's presence and instantly turned its attention to him.
The beast hissed and became enraged.
The Star wolf charged towards him with a growl so powerful that it shook the entire area.
The Star Wolf used the skill [Fear].
[Fear]
A skill that most monsters utilize to control and hinder the movements of their targets at a specific time.
This skill causes his mental abilities to break down, yet thanks to his passive skill, he overcomes the Star Wolf's [Fear].
He was able to survive the attack because of his passive skill.
Jump.
Jarred became aware that the Star Wolf had vanished.
"Where did it go?"
He looked everywhere but couldn't locate it.
The Star Wolf was then visible coming from above when he turned to look up.
"What?!"
Jarred instantly dodged its attack, but regrettably one of its fangs pierced him.
"Keok!"
Even though he had a little wound, blood continued to flow from his body.
He put his hand over his wound.
He instantly opened his inventory and took the potion to cure his wound.
"Grrr.."
The Star Wolf continued to growl at him.
Directly into his wound, he poured the potion, and it began to slowly heal.
"Sigh.."
Jarred sighed, bracing himself for the confrontation with the Star Wolf.
"To know if I will die or not, I'll have to take this last battle."
He stood still with his head held high while holding his dagger to prepare for the attack.
I've survived many attacks before, so come over here. Now, kill me if you have the guts.
To assault Jarred, the Star Wolf dashed in his direction.
Jarred instantly ducked and jumped to its side to stab it, but its skin was so tough that he couldn't puncture it with his dagger.
"W-what?! It's so tough!"
Jarred instantly distanced himself from it.
"What should I do?"
Jarred's strike was ineffective, and his attack power was insufficient as well.
"!!"
Star Wolf's mouth abruptly opened, and a little flame slowly began to emanate from it.
The Star Wolf would likely breathe fire at him, he knew with certainty.
"You've got to be kidding me, utilizing its ultimate attack right at the start!"
The Star Wolf roared at him, breathing fire at Jarred.
On the other hand, Jarred only just managed to evade it. Even if he had anticipated the Star wolf's assault, it would still have been too intense for him to handle.
"I need to find its weak point."
The Star Wolf instantly sprung out and sprinted toward him in an attempt to attack.
He kept avoiding the Star Wolf's attacks and then went in for the kill, looking for the monster's weak spot. Even the softest part, the eyes, couldn't pierce it.
Jarred's health was deteriorating progressively. The shockwaves from the strike were so powerful, that even if he managed to avoid them, still got damaged by it.
Due to exhaustion, his body was nearing its limit.
-Time remaining: 00:05:56-
"Keok! I only have 5 minutes left! What should I do in this situation?"
As he continued to avoid the onslaught, something horrible happened.
THUD!
"H-huh?!"
Jarred knelt on the ground. He had reached the physical limits of his body. He was no longer able to stand.
He was completely soaked with sweat and blood. Mud was all over his face. His face had just a dejected look left on it.
The Star Wolf promptly fled to take Jarred's life after taking notice of what had occurred to him.
Jarred, who was lying on the ground and in complete disarray, glanced at the Star Wolf coming towards him.
"Is this really the end?"
Jarred, who had previously died and was on the verge of dying recently, is now set to be slaughtered by the Star Wolf.
[The Weak Who Wants to Become Strong] was able to convert his dejected expression into one of hope thanks to Jarred's passive skill.
Jarred managed to evade the Star Wolf's razor-sharp claws as they were ready to reach him in the centimeter-wide gap between them.
"Keok!"
The shockwave of its strike knocked him away, as a result, he unintentionally let go of his dagger.
The blade he unintentionally dropped fell through Star Wolf's head. It dropped into the horn of Star Wolf, to be more precise.
Clang.
When the blade comes into contact with the Star Wolf's horn, it strangely leaps backward. The Star Wolf started to be cautious.
When Jarred saw this, he knew right away that this was his moment to finally kill it.
He opened his inventory and took out the sword.
-Time remaining: 00:01:00-
"I just have a minute to accomplish this."
Only one minute is left for Jarred to kill the Star wolf.
"All right, it's time to put my life on the line."
He ran towards the Star Wolf. He swiftly threw the sword he was carrying at the Star Wolf as he ran, grabbing his dagger that was lying on the ground in the process.
He aimed for its horn.
The Star Wolf sprang to its side after dodging. When the Star Wolf moved its eyes back to the front, Jarred was no longer visible.
"Grr..?"
Jarred jumped over the Star Wolf while simultaneously gripping his dagger in both hands.
Because of its sense of smell, the Star Wolf sensed Jarred that he was above, but it was too late.
Jarred slashed the horn with his dagger.
CLANG!
"AHHHH!!"
Jarred screamed at the top of his lungs and used all of his might to slash the Star Wolf's horn.

The countdown has begun.

SHINNG!
Jarred was just in time to cut the Star Wolf's horn.

"Haa... haa... haa..."
Thud.
Jarred collapsed on the ground and lay down. He was so exhausted that he could hardly move a finger.
TING!
-Congratulations-
The quest has been completed.
"I did it!"
You level up.
You level up.
You level up...
Jarred gained 5 levels.
Jarred lost consciousness after that.
