In the club

Tristan was thankful because for some reasons, there was no any corrupted beast that could be seen on the ground floor but this didn't mean that Tristan could put his guard down, instead, Tristan was all vigilant because he didn't like the way things were this calm. It just made his heart to beat even faster as if he was going to be swallowed by a disgusting beast.

Tristan went behind the counter of the ground floor and sat on the bar stool behind the counter. Tristan kept his head low and it was well hidden by the counter so he was not overly agitated and panicky that any corrupted beast would see him but he forgot that the corrupted beasts didn't have to see him as to them, they were merely seeing humans as flickering of lifeforces.

Even if a human hidden themselves behind a wall, their lifeforces would still register in the eyes of the corrupted beasts on opposite side of the wall. And just like that, without knowing, Tristan had attracted some corrupted beasts that were still on the ground floor.

"Steps on how to successfully start and drive a car." With a smile on his face, Tristan murmured as he clicked on the trope. 

Very quickly, the topic and its well defined description surfaced on the screen of Tristan's phone but when Tristan was about to read these descriptions, he could feel that something was not right, yes. Something had locked on him and it was moving towards his side slowly by slowly. Tristan didn't dare to raise his head to see what it was as he didn't want the beast to know that he had discovered it, he ignored it and took several screenshots of the driving skill description.

"Well everything is now fine. No I have something else that I need to check. An unknown person sent a link to the owner of this phone." Tristan quickly opened the messaging app with his trembling hands and clicked on the link that this unknown person sent to him.

The link took Tristan straight to the search engine but when Tristan wanted to see what was sent, he heard the snarling of the corrupted beast that had locked on him. Glancing at where the beast was, Tristan was appalled to find out that the beast was already lunging on him.

"So fast! The heck!" Tristan jerked to miss the claws of the beast making the phone to drop under the counter, on the other hand, Tristan didn't miss the claw of the beast completely, as it successfully scratched his left hand.

"Damn it! I will not allow you to live!" Tristan slashed at the chest of the beast with all his might but the beast evaded his attack effortlessly but with the momentum that Tristan slashed at the beast, it made his cleaver to continue forward and struck several liquor bottles in the wine rack.

Tristan didn't care about the glass shards that had shattered on his face as he knew that his life could be taken out any moment, he avoided to wallow about his loss and halted the claw of the corrupted beast that was targeting his face.

"Not again!" Tristan punched the beast's face with his free hand. The punch made the beast a little disoriented. Taking this chance into account, Tristan finally delivered the final blow by decapitating the head of the beast.

[ A lesser level 1 corrupted beast killed. ]

[ Gained 50 experience points. ]

[ You have leveled up to level 6 ]

[ 2 points gained. Assign the stat points to any of your characteristic. ]

"Place the stats to stamina and vitality!" Tristan ordered with a look of displeasure.

His stamina and vitality was now 13 points each. Tristan could feel his strength and health increase slightly.

"I think if my vitality reaches to a high score, maybe my injuries would heal instantly or I could even regenerate limbs. Who knows?" Tristan murmured to himself as he kneeled down to pick up his phone.

There it was, Tristan could see that what the unknown person had sent him seemed to be some sort of a map that showed a certain place. However, Tristan was not given a breather to inspect the very general location as he could hear the stomps of countless corrupted beasts coming his way.
