Chapter 21 Another Failure
Chapter 21 Another Failure
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Dash ]
[ Your agility has... ]
The same old message appeared about him using the skill to run as fast as he could.
If he were to upgrade it right now, it could probably help him but he had many things going on in his mind.
Furthermore, he wanted to first satisfy his own body, so he didn't care about anything else and just ran with all his might.
[ Distance: 11 miles ]
He was constantly staring at the system in which the distance statues was changing constantly.
'Soon...'
'Very soon I will have another marvelous dish of this world!', he was thinking about the deer and was salivating as he ran.
One could easily confuse him with a mad bull who wanted to eat everything that he could.
"..."
One hour passed in a blink of an eye after which he had finally arrived at the destination.
[ Distance: 0 miles ]
'Ding'
[ Distance: 3 miles ]
However the distance suddenly changed from 0 miles to 3 miles!
"Huh? What the-", initially he got confused when he saw that happen but then he almost immediately realized that the deer weren't some stable objects.
Perhaps, even they wanted to move to some other better place due to which they might have gone a bit far from the place.
Of course, he couldn't keep on using the dash skill for the complete one hour and probably that was what made him slow down.
He continued to just walk slowly now because more than his stomach, his legs started to inflict pain.
'Ugh, I guess I shouldn't just blindly run for too long...', right after this he realized that it would have been best if he had given some rest.
"Sigh...", he sighed and looked towards the dark shady areas of the forest towards which the compass was pointing.
The sun was exactly on top of him which was probably draining even more energy, but thanks to the trees that drainage was minimized.
[ Distance: 0.3 miles ]
The distance that was left was very less and Shin forced himself to take a look at the so call deer that he had been chasing after.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill 'All Seeing Eyes' ]
[ Your vision has been enhanced by 10 times ]
He could now clearly see through the darker areas that were present due to the shadows of the trees.
"Holy!"
Through his vision he saw something unfathomable. Perhaps this was the first time he had seen such beasts after coming to this world.
Although he spotted only 3 of the deer, he could clearly see their white spots on their brown skin which made them look distinct.
Their eyes were so perfectly curvy and beautiful that anyone would get mesmerized by it.
The long and slender legs seem quite flexible which were probably quite strong to help them escape from their prey.
Basically it was as if all the decorations was done to a single dish and it was as if a clear invitation was kept for the predators to rush and have them.
Shin was no exception, he had already been salivating and now for some reason, it seemed as if there was a waterfall or rather saliva-fall from his mouth!
Any longer and he would have already bathed in it completely.
'I can't wait anymore...'
He mustered a little amount of strength to his legs and then slowly started to walk towards them.
It seemed as if he had grown to be a bit wiser. All this time he would just run towards the prey without thinking anything else and would just grab them.
Probably due to this many of them would escape which was not a good sign for a hunter or a predator since only the weak would probably be left behind.
Right now, he decided to slow approach them by which he could probably have a better chance at getting a better prey.
[ Would you like to activate the classes? ]
[ Y/N ]
The classes as mentioned earlier could be considered as a bonus skill and since Shin had two such skills, the system would inevitably ask which to activate.
"Yes..."
[ Please select the class which you want to activate ]
[ Class Predator ] -Y/N
[ Class Hunter ] - Y/N
"Hmm..."
It's not as if he remembered specifically what the classes were supposed to boost. He didn't have time either to have a glance at them since the deer could run away if even a slightest of sound was heard.
Thus, he just ended up selecting the very first class that was shown.
'Activate class Predator!'
[ Class Predator has been activated. ]
[ The Mariorack Deer has been confirmed as Prey ]
[ All stats increased by 5 ]
[ Senses sharpened ]
[ Intimidation increased by 10% ]
'Ding'
[ Increase in intimidation contradicts the effects of Aura-Stealth due to the superiority of class over skill ]
[ 1% of Aura is leaked with accordance to intimidation ]
Aura and intimidation went hand by hand. Basically intimidation meant that Shin would glare at the beasts to denote his superiority.
That way there would be a chance to make them get paralyzed since they would be completely engulfed with fear.
Because of that very reason, it was the worst combination to be used while Aura-Stealth was active.
In this case too, the deer felt the intimidation and the aura, despite it being only %, they al ran away almost immediately.
Now Shin was left there with nothing. His jaw was left open and he was trying to think about what had just happened.
"Did I just..."
"Chase them away!?", he shouted!
"..."
He was quite angry at his foolishness. Everything was going just fine, and if he hadn't activated the class, he could have even succeeded in hunting them.
But the notification ruined it all when it appeared. Basically that's what he thought.
"Damn, it's all cause of you SYSTEM!", he shouted yet again.
Indeed, it was his own careless decision, but in the end it was the system that was blamed by him.
"Now what do I do other than accepting the punishment for failing the mission?", not only was he hungry, but also his mood was in the worst case.
Since the hunt was ruined completely, he was gloomy and just walked wherever he wanted while waiting for the punishment.
30 minutes passed by and no punishment was received whatsoever.
"Huh...? That's weird... shouldn't I have been punished by now?", he asked himself.
[ Mission 0C4 ]
[ Hunt a Mariorack Deer ]
The mission was still active which meant that he hadn't failed yet, but more than that there was no timer and no punishment or reward mentioned.
"Does that mean I can hunt them whenever I want...?"
"..."
