At approximately one and thirty minutes in the vast wilderness, there is a young man who recently finished slaughtering a group of rats. Uno only slain 24 [Grass Rat] because Uno had previously cleared the area, the population of rats in this specific place is now relatively small.
Uno anticipated that it would take him an hour to reach [Breeze Village]. Uno is already drowsy since the battles no longer put him under pressure. Uno has the capacity to kick a rat to death.
Rumble....rumble...
"What the fuck?" Uno was perplexed by the noise. Uno instantly seeks cover in order to inspect the situation.
Uno spotted a massive swarm of rats ravaging the wilderness.
"The fucking swarm? Is the sun already rising? Why is the swarm coming over here..." Uno was taken aback by the sudden shift of events.
.
DING!!!

Uno almost sobbed as he closed his eyes. "What the fuck, man! I just want to rest"
Uno chose to remain hidden for a moment to figure out the strength of the swarm. Uno observed for ten minutes, even though he couldn't see much, but with the assistance of the moonlight, Uno discovered that the swarm was expanding, resulting in a low population density. Uno is capable of fleeing from being overrun if he strikes unexpectedly.
Uno patiently waited for the swarm to make their way to his position before striking.
Rustle....squeak...squeak...
When the swarm is about to approach, Uno sprinted towards it and jump-stabbed the nearest [Grass Rat]. Uno activated [๐๐ซ๐ ๐] but saved [๐๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง'๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ] for later.
Uno wielded the dagger in a triangle-stabbing pattern. Uno has the dagger in a reverse grip. Uno performed a side stance and held the dagger in front of his face. Uno stabbed down, slashed upwards till it stopped in his upper-left shoulder, then stabbed forward and repeat.
Uno intends to burst through the swarm of rats and make his way to [Breeze Village]. Uno will kill any [Grass Rat] in front of him, and if there is an open area in front of him, he will rush to it and continue moving forward.
Uno managed to kill 48 [Grass Rat] in a span of twenty minutes. A tremendous shriek was heard, and the [Grass Rat] made way for several [Alpha Grass Rat] to enter the fight. Uno looked at the newcomers and discovered 7 [Alpha Grass Rat] charging at him. Uno appears confident since he is quicker than the rats and can walk over them to evade them.
Uno propels ahead, using the dead [Grass Rat] as a stepping stone to dodge the charging [Alpha Grass Rat]. In some ways, the 7 [Alpha Grass Rat] creates a lot of area for Uno to exploit. Because of its recent moves, the [Alpha Grass Rat] alleviates the stress of restricted space.
Uno stabs a [Grass Rat], then uses its corpse as a stepping stone to avoid the charging horde of seven [Alpha Grass Rat]. When Uno lands, he instantly dives back into the [Alpha Grass Rat] and stabs the running last of the [Alpha Grass] in the rear.
Uno repeated this tactic until the 7 [Alpha Grass Rat] died out, at which point Uno killed 27 [Grass Rat] in the midst of the grind.
Uno resumed his journey to [Breeze Village] by killing several rats along his path or, more accurately, by facing the swarm.
Uno begins to sweat and pant after some time. Furthermore, when Uno slays 26 [Grass Rat], there is an unexpected sound.

DING!!!

Uno was confused about the reward mission. A book appeared in his left-hand. The cover of the book is brown and a prompt appeared.

"Shit! This knowledge book. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Uno was overjoyed with his reward. Before obtaining the book, Uno was missing an objective or motivation. In other words, it's becoming an infamous leveling grind requiring nothing more than killing a swarm of rats, but with this knowledge. Uno may now focus his efforts on locating [Roscuro 'Screamer' The Grass Rat] in order to catch an exponential rise in power.
Uno decided to revise his game plan and prioritize killing [Alpha Grass Rat] with the goal to accomplish one hundred kills.
Uno intends to penetrate further into the swarm and wreak havoc in order to attract the attention of the [Alpha Grass Rat].
Uno has started slashing from Up-to-Side-to-Side with [Rat's Tooth] and utilizing the [Grass Rat] as stepping stones. Uno does not give priority to the [Grass Rat]'s death by assuring a lethal stab. Uno decides to slash to create bigger spaces and wound numerous rats.
.
In the midst of the chaos, 9 [Alpha Grass Rats] rush at Uno.
"Finally! The big bois have arrived," said Uno.
Uno used the exact same tactic, which was to use a [Grass Rat] as a stepping stone to leap past the charging horde of [Alpha Grass Rat], and after landing at the back of the horde, Uno instantly rushed right back to deliver a vicious stab for the very last charging member of the [Alpha Grass Rat] and repeat the same actions until all of them died out.
After killing all of the [Alpha Grass Rat], Uno then focused on killing the [Grass Rat] of the swarm.
.
Uno felt a little fatigued after one hour. Uno was successful in slaying 38 [Alpha Grass Rat] and 122 [Grass Rat]. Uno decided to make his way toward the swarm's outer perimeter and withdraw to take a break. Uno succeeded in reaching the swarm's outer-north perimeter in approximately eighteen minutes and is currently getting ready to flee. Uno managed to slay 28 [Grass Rat] and 5 [Alpha Grass Rat] on his way out.
Uno escaped from the swarm and sprinted north till the swarm failed to keep up.
.
Uno sat down and took a deep breath to unwind. Uno had a 30-minute break before heading southeast. Uno intends to travel 10 minutes southeast before turning east to reach [Breeze Village]. To be honest, Uno is only predicting according to his gut reactions, and Uno already believes he is lost in this vast wilderness.
On his way to the southeast, Uno received a notification.
.
DING!!!

"Nice! Another mission!" Uno expressed whilst he spotted the rat lair in the distance. Uno launched an attack on the rat lair without carrying out any reconnaissance.
Uno activated [Urge] and began slaying every [Grass Rat] in sight. Within a minute or two, 2 [Alpha Grass Rat] emerges from the rat hole, ready to take on Uno.
Uno is no longer anxious about [Alpha Grass Rat] because he has grown stronger in all core attributes and wields [Rat's Tooth] as a weapon. Uno had already cleaned the rat lair in less than five minutes. The rat lair is only occupied by 2 [Alpha Grass Rat] and 32 [Grass Rat].

"Kinda trash..." Uno grumbled as he proceeded to put on the trousers. Uno then warps his old pants to create a makeshift pouch to store the dairy. Uno resumes his southeast journey, and after four minutes, he turns to head east.
.
After nearly an hour of travel, Uno cleared two [Rat Nests] that gave him 15 EXP and one [Rat Lair] that gave him 45 EXP. In total, Uno killed 98 [Grass Rats] but no [Alpha Grass Rats].
Uno decided to take a 15-minute break before resuming his trek. In addition, Uno viewed his [๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง] to check his progress.

"Hmm... I just need around 3000 EXP to reach level 5" said Uno.
Uno observed that his energy points recovered at a reasonable pace, around twelve to fourteen energy points every five minutes. As a result, Uno chose to spam [Urge] every five minutes in order to swiftly boost its skill level.
When Uno was all set to depart and begin his trip to [Breeze Village].
Rumble....squeak...
Uno turned around and noticed the approaching rat swarm.
Uno grips his dagger and grins, saying, "Just in time when I needed it the most." Then Uno darted towards the rat swarm and began slaughtering them.
