Chapter 9

Awoo!

With a cry of anguish, the body of a wolf turned to white lights before dissipating.

Panting slightly, Red decided to take a break from farming monsters.

As of the moment, he took the life of many wolves it will be enough to complete the quest given to him by the Village Chief 5 times.

He also harvested many wolf fangs and wolf hide for the seamstress and the blacksmith, and while waiting for the wolves to spawn he collected herbs for the alchemist's quest.

"Even after my transmigration, I'm still amazed by how real everything is in the game." Red sighed with emotion then took the time to look at his status screen.

[Name: Red]

HP: 125/140

Rage: 0/200

"It's enough for me to spend my attribute points in Strength. At the early stage of the game, Strength could be said as the foundation of the player. Putting it in any other stats is a wrong move even if you are a mage because everyone is given a melee weapon at the start of the game. Professions with long-range weapons can only obtain them when they undergo their profession quest at Level 10."

In Overworld, there are what they call the 4 main stats and 2 hidden stats.

The 4 Main stats were Strength, Vitality, Agility, and Intelligence, while the 2 hidden stats were Luck and Charm.

Strength influences a player's physical damage; Vitality is concerned with the player's health, armor, and magic resist; Agility is related to a player's attack speed and dodge rate; Intelligence is mana and magic damage; Luck influences drop rate and critical strike; lastly, Charisma helps you get favorability with NPC's easier and some quest in Overworld can only be triggered with high favorability.

Needless to say, as an Orc Fighter, out of the 4 stats that Red can actively spend attribute points Strength made the most sense.

All of a sudden, a low growl attracted Red's attention, waking him up from his reverie. Looking at the source of the sound, Red saw a brownish-black wolf baring his tongue at him.

He checked its stats before walking towards it unhurriedly.

[Dark Wolf (Common)]

[Level: 2]

HP: 50/50

Mana: 30/30

[Skills:]

Swipe

Bite

The wolf, seeing that an Orc dares to step into its territory became furious. Charging at Red at full speed, the wolf jumped borrowing its momentum before using Swipe to start the fight.

Stepping back to the side, Red managed to avoid the claws of the wolf. Taking advantage of the fact that its body was in mid-air, Red ruthlessly swung his club to its back causing it to howl in pain.

Blasted by the force of Red's hit, the wolf immediately stabilized its body before performing the same action but using Bite instead.

Red seeing that the fangs of the wolf changed color positioned his left hand that is wrapped in wolf hide in front of him.

Like the long-range weapons of other professions, players won't be given armor until they are done with their profession quests. The players had to make do with rough clothes and pants to give them protection.

What Red did with the wolf hide is actually a waste. Wolf hides could be used to create equipment with at least 10 physical defense. Wrapping the hide in one's body is not considered armor by the system, therefore the defense it offers is the same as the defense of wolf hides which is a pitiful 5 compared to the worst equipment crafted using it.

But no matter how pitiful it was, 5 physical defense at the early stage of the game was godly when no one has any at all. What's more, the physical defense value won't suffer even if he cuts the hide to pieces. As of the moment, he only used 3 hides from the first time he acquired them.

Pouncing at its assailant, the wolf opened its mouth filled with sharp teeth and viciously chomped down on Red's outstretched hand.

At the same time, Red delivered his attack dealing 15 damage to the wolf.

Taking another direct hit, the wolf realized it was tricked but before it could retreat, the image of a club was already nearing its head.

-22

With a flash of light, the wolf's body slowly disappeared, it wasn't even able to howl before it died because its fangs remained stuck at the hide of its kind.
