NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: Adam Vs. One-horned rabbit (2nd Round)
The next day...
Morning shone on the entirety of Batangas City, the streets were full of a mixture of Chosens and normal citizens of World of Luck.
It was full of vigor as various stalls can be seen selling different items such as weaponry, armor, and such...
There are even potion shops and gambling areas. Among this, there's a certain place which really stands out among others, as it was crowded with people.
Even Chosen from various small, mid and even large guilds were aligned on the front of the certain area!
Unlike your typical novels, it was not a bar that was always crowded with people, cause here on World of Luck, instead of a bar, people tend going to a lotto shop.
As for reason? its because various resources can be won from this! So even large guilds that consider C-grade as trash, spend resources on joining lotto! and encourages their member to buy lotto ticket as well.
Of course, the amount needed was kinda average, it's a sum of 1000 pesos just for one ticket.
Note: Peso would be the currency to be used in this novel -_-
For large guilds, this amount was small but for common people, 1000 pesos was a large sum! This amount can sustain them for 1 week or even 2 weeks' worth of food!
So mostly, those who buy lotto ticket were the Chosen and Royalty citizens.
Large guilds even spend thousands of pesos in one day just to try their luck!
"Say, did you hear the amount of resources that can be won now?", said one of the Chosen on the line
"Yes, its a hefty 1 billion pesos, 10 A-grade potions, 5 A-grade weapons, 5 A-grade armor, and so on...", replied the other enthusiastically
The number was so handsome now as it's been already 15 months since someone won a lotto. And as usual, the price keeps on accumulating, resulting in such a hefty amount!
-------
Amidst this all, Adam awoke up from his 'slumber'. He was too excited to try out his newly attained skill so he wasn't able to sleep well.
Before him was a group of 4 thin young looking youths who was gazing at him so profoundly.
Their relation turns from sour to a standard one, with no hate nor likes included, after yesterdays' feast.
Soon, after a while of gazing, Troy, the leader of the gang then spoke...
"We are going to hunt now, thank you for your kindness yesterday, we won't forget it.", Troy said calmly
Adam heard yesterday that Troy and his gang always went outside the city to hunt for food, especially one-horned rabbit, as it was tasty and the weakest among the monsters nearby.
Still, they can only manage to capture and kill one rabbit after a diligent preparation of various traps. They are not capable of fighting nor damaging the rabbit, so fighting head-on is a bad choice.
Setting up a trap was the only way they could kill one.
Adam then remembered the smirk of the rabbit he fought with during trial...
'I got to take my revenge!', he thought
Soon, before the gangster leave, Adam began to spoke...
"I'll join the hunt!", Adam shouted which cause the gagster to feel goosebumps all over as they can feel Adams' hatred.....
Hence, they had no choice but to adhere to Adam, letting him join their hunt. Also, their eyes flickered with excitement knowing that their hunt would be easier this time!
-----
Outside the Batangas City, on the one-horned rabbit hunting grounds...
One boy can be seen running, and behind him was a one-horned rabbit running leisurely as if enjoying the thrill of chasing a powerless man...
The boy was screaming like a girl, causing the rabbit to smirked.
Soon, the boy stopped running but the rabbit didn't notice anything and just thought that the boy lost his will of escaping...
The rabbit then walked tardily towards the man, but unbeknownst to it, after taking a few steps, its course stopped when the ground it was stepping on, suddenly collapsed!
After a while, the rabbit felt a bit dizzy from the fall then looked upward, seeing a hole it falls from.
It was tricked!
It was just the boy's scheme...
Soon, 5 boys look out from the 3 meters hole on the ground... One of them was familiar to him as it was the boy it was chasing earlier, the other four boys? He didn't know them
After taking a look at the four boys' faces, his gaze stopped on the last boy! He felt his fur rising all over as he looked at the boy's eyes!
It was hatred!
The rabbit then just gulp as he anticipates his fate of being these boys 'dinner'
----
At the same time, Adam was looking at the rabbit intently...
"Troy, how do you kill this rabbit?", Adam asked as he didn't see them holding any weapon.
"It's simple, since we can't even penetrate its skin. We just buried it alive then wait for hours until it died from suffocation.", Troy said proudly as his idea was so 'witty'
The rabbit just gulps at this thought though it cant understand what Troy said...
On the other hand, Adam somehow felt pity towards the rabbit as it will be buried alive soon...
"Let me try attacking it first, and see whether I can kill it or not.", Adam spoke as he wants to test his skills prowess
Soon, the gang just replied a big 'Yes' as they also want to see Adams' power...
They then began to stepped back while Adam was preparing his skill...
Adam knew how to activate a skill and that was just by simply saying or thinking the name and taking a required gesture if there's any.
'Activate Absolute's first skill', Adam thought silently
Soon, a small coin-like shape bronze-colored item appeared before Adam. It was levitating and can be moved through thought!
As per the skills description, Adam then began inserting mana into the coin-shaped item.
'1 mana'
'5'
'100'
'250'
'500'
'800'
'950 mana'
Adam stopped inserting mana on the now plate-size coin, as once a Chosen drained his mana completely, they were prone to being unconscious.
Still, he felt like this amount of mana was enough to kill the rabbit as he felt some weight from the coin.
Sadly, he was still incapable of changing the coins shape, so he has to put up with it for now.
The coin's size can be adjusted by putting a considerable amount of mana, and after inserting 950 mana, it was now plate-size!
Unbeknownst to him, the gangsters who looked at Adam were fascinated by what they've seen!
They saw a large amount of mana exiting from Adam's body, they didn't expect him to have such a large amount of mana...
'Did he really just arrived on this world?', Troy thought while gulping
At the same time, the rabbit was now on panicked as it felt the pressure and intensity coming from the coin.
Soon, before the rabbit could even move, a plate-sized coin began to descend on the 3-meters hole, as if a meteor was descending.
After a while, the rabbit died without even retaliating... and a sweet message appeared before Adam again...
[ One-horned rabbit killed ]
[ 5 experience obtained ]
'ehh? Only 5?', Adam thought dissatisfiedly as he can't imagine filling up his 1000 experience bar by just killing a few rabbits...

Author's Note: Peso is the currency we are using in the Philippines, so I prefer using it as well.
1$ = 50 pesos
