REWARDS

I weave it's attack and try to counter attack, but he easily blocks it and tries to hit me with his giant mace. I weave it and use assassin steps. I sneak at the back of his head while looking at the web page for types of monsters and their weaknesses.

 "I got you now fucker", i see that his head is his weakness, i quickly rush over, but something feels off and i realize that when i ee a giant mace coming my way, i try to dodge but i get hit and lose over half of my HP cause of that.

 "How the fuck is a starter boss this strong or maybe he isn't one", I don't get the chance to think about it since he's continuously trying to hit me with his mace.

 I start thinking of a plan while dodging him and i realize that i could use my shadow clone as a distraction, use assassins steps and kill him right in the head with my sword, "i'm gonna end this motherfucker's entire career as a boss" i mutter to myself trying to increase his anger to get killed.

 I instantly use a shadow clone as a distraction and while he's dealing with that i sneak up on him with assassin's steps and stabs him in the head with my sword and i see him fall down but with his last breaths, he was about to swing at me and my sword got fucking stuck again.

 "Why did i think it was a good fucking idea to fight a boss at my level, i'm fucking stupid", and just as it's gon hit me, i see Fenris jumping at the ogre and biting the arm he's holding the wooden mace with.

 I quickly use that advantage to finish him off, "Die motherfucker", i feel a sense of excitement rush through me.

 The ogre stumbles, growling in pain, and its massive body crashes to the ground with a loud thud. For a moment, everything is silent, the adrenaline of the fight still coursing through me. I stand there, panting, my sword still buried in the ogre's skull.

Fenris, still latched onto the ogre's arm, shakes his head and growls triumphantly, his teeth embedded in the thick, tough hide. I pull my sword free, wiping the blood off on the ogre's ragged clothing before looking around, just in case any other monsters are lurking nearby.

I can't believe I made it through that. I was this close to dying, but somehow, I pulled it off. My heart's still pounding, my hands shaking slightly as the adrenaline begins to wear off.

"That was too close," I mutter under my breath, sheathing my sword and kneeling down next to the ogre's corpse. A quick check reveals a pile of loot scattered around, including a shiny amulet and what looks like a rare crafting material.

"Well, that's a hell of a reward for barely scraping by." I glance at Fenris, who's already devouring some of the ogre's leftovers, completely unfazed by the chaos we just survived. "You're a good boy, Fenris."

Fenris barks happily, clearly proud of his contribution. My mind drifts back to the fight. The way that mace hit me—half my HP gone in one swing—that wasn't normal for a starter boss. It wasn't just strong, it was brutal. Maybe this wasn't a typical boss fight at all.

I tap my fingers against my leg, thinking. I can't afford to make the same mistake again, rushing in without proper preparation.

 I watch as my levels go up realizing that it's going up by a lot making me reconsider if that was a normal boss.

 I suddenly hear a ding, " PLAYER HAS DEFEATED THE BOSS AND WILL GAIN THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: OGRE MACE, BERSERK MODE SKILL, APPRAISE ABILITY, LEATHER ARMOR".

 I smile knowing that i really struck gold this time, i instantly equip the armor, but i contemplate whether to use my sword or the ogre's mace, "hmm which one would be better for me right now", i mutter to myself as Fenris rest next to me after devouring the ogre.

 "Nah fuck it, imma stick to the sword since i really don't wanna start adding every single piece of stat i get into strength.

 I quickly start adding my stats seeing that i'm level 23 now, i add 15 to strength, 8 to agility and 5 to health.

 "Hmm, pretty good, but i'm shit at putting stats in games so imma just stick with my guts for now ", i then check out the skills i got.

 I first go look at berserk mode which makes me excited realizing how overpowered it is, THIS SKILL ACTIVATES WHEN THE PLAYER'S HEALTH DECREASES TO LESS THAN HP WHICH MAKES THEM GO INTO AN ABSOLUTE STATE OF RAGE BOOSTING THEIR STATS BY 50 PERCENT FOR THIRTY SECONDS.

 "Holy shit, that is op even if it only lasts for a short while, wait lemme check the other skill", i say to myself.

 I check the appraisal skill to understand that it basically gives me the ability to find out their weaknesses and strengths with a concentrated use of it.

 "Hmm, a pretty good skill if you know how to use it right", i then walk over to Fenris petting him "who's a good boy, you are, you are", he barks with happiness.

 I walk over to the ogre's body feeling a bit dejected realizing I could have tamed it if I was stronger, "I gotta start killing more monsters to get stronger and I also need to grow my monster army, I'll focus on getting stronger first".

 After a while of thinking, i decide to give the ogre mace to my strongest goblin in the army, when i give it to him, i notice him getting a bit bulkier

 "Hmm, i might make him the leader of my army", i think to myself, i check the time to realize it's close to night already.

 I get off the game to go have a good night's sleep. I eat some leftover rice in my fridge that my sister prepared when she last came to the house. After a good dinner, I walk up to my room and jump on my bed.

"Good night", I mutter to myself as I turn off the lamp.
