chapter 5
Cats do so-called hissing when they are in a bad mood or when they are on guard. It’s almost instinctive, to the point that even youngsters know how to hiss.
However, Hoya gave a manor. towards the forest. What this says is one thing.
“monster?”
haha!
Hoya continues to look at the forest as if on alert and hiss. I carefully lifted the bow. This bow was also taken care of by Sunwoo with a smile. You say you don’t know the world As I hung my arrow on my bow and aimed straight at the forest, something appeared in the forest.
“A wolf?”
What appeared was a wolf. At first glance, it looks like a large dog, but it certainly seemed different from a large dog. Then he began to growl at me and come closer.
as if threatening me.
“Hoya hyung, save me.”
I quietly and firmly asked Hoya. very politely.
“Hoya?”
Actually, I politely asked for it, but Hoya was nowhere to be seen.
“Ha ha, life.”
It wasn’t a bad life. I didn’t suffer too much, and I always liked Hoya, but I’m satisfied that I was able to hug Hoya again.
They also gave wild boar meat to their parents and Si-yeon, which boosts their stamina, so it’s a decent life.
have to live
I will definitely survive.
“I bet everything on this one shot.”
that seems to be something But usually the kids who say this are one of the two.
kill or die
Looking back at what I’ve read so far, it seems that the latter was overwhelmingly common. This line is just like that. The magic spell ‘Are you dead?’ If you cast that spell, you should assume that the opponent is almost 99% alive. So these days, the guys who usually do that line are the villains.
So many thoughts come to mind while aiming the bow.
Kreung!
Did you notice that I was thinking about something else? Suddenly a wolf lunges at me. I fired an arrow straight into his forehead. He shot with strength and agility beyond that of ordinary people, as well as intelligence, mental strength, and dexterity.
Ting!
The arrow was aimed precisely at the wolf’s forehead. It was as accurate as a Korean archer hitting the X-ten. After all, the thought of being Korean raced through my mind very briefly.
the problem is.
The point was that the arrows bounced off with a ting sound, as if his eyebrows were covered with iron armor. Maybe the arrow wasn’t strong enough to pierce the skull. That’s how I’m thinking about this even when I’m about to die from being bitten by a wolf. The skill called ‘calm down’ seems really scary.
I closed my eyes.
Crack!
There was no pain. I thought it would be a neat one shot, but it wasn’t. There is only one existence that will make a sound called kkae-gaeng in this place. Neither me nor Hoya, but a wolf.
I opened my eyes. Then Hoya was hitting the wolf on the head.
“ha ha ha.”
It’s a rather funny scene. Hoya is literally beating up a wolf that is bigger than a St. Bernard, which is said to be the biggest of the breed. Hoya is about the size of a wolf’s head. At first glance, it looks like they’re joking, but Hoya’s paws are faster than his eyes.
At least I’m beating wolves faster than my eyes. When I saw it, I realized.
“My Hoya, are you right-footed?”
Some of you may have seen it on You Tube. Nyangnyang Punch uses both feet, but there are many cases where only one foot is used. Usually only one foot is used. Hoya is such a case. It means that Hoya is diligently beating the fallen wolf with his right foot. And after a while the wolf was completely stretched out.
– Your level has risen.
– Your level has risen.
– Your level has risen.
I watched the wolf quietly.
-You used the Observation skill.
Name: Island Wolf (Level 10, Death)
A wolf that lives on an island. Since they were born and lived on a narrow island, they do not live in groups and live alone. It is chewy and has no taste. When consumed for the first time, strength increases by 5. After that, if you continue to consume it, your strength increases by 1 each time you eat a certain amount.
The deer boar is at the same level. But this time, only 3 levels went up. After thinking about it, I raised my strength, agility, and stamina by 5 points each. In novels, it would be a national rule to accumulate stats and raise them later, but it seems crazy to me.
That kind of thing is equipment, or if you get a special class, or something like that. For kids like me who only have life skills, I think it’s best to just hold on well. Of course, you can regret it by hitting the ground later, but shouldn’t you live with regret for now?
“Hoya! Where have you been? Leave Dad.”
Nyaang!
Hoya looked at me with an expression of disapproval and cried incredulously. I feel like I did it because I was afraid that I would be able to save it on my own. Come to think of it, Hoya was hiding and killed the island wolf with a single blow. Of course, the bait was me.
“Hey, honestly, at your level, didn’t you just stand in front of me and hit me without hiding?”
At my words, Hoya makes a surprised expression.
Nyaaang?
“Hey, did you really not know? Or did hunting like that become a habit?”
I tried to argue, but when I thought about it, I imagined how Hoya would have survived in this gate, and it felt like tears covered my eyes.
Isn’t the fact that an ordinary cat enters the gate and survives alone is really lower than the probability of winning the lottery in a row? In particular, even low-level monsters like wild boars and island wolves were difficult for me as a human being to deal with. How was Hoya?
“Sorry, Dad was wrong. Dad will become very strong in the future and will protect our Hoya.”
Nyan! food.
Isshiki just laughed.
“Hey you!”
Nyan!
Hoya quickly ran to another base camp and slipped into the tent.
“What do I want? But this… Do I really have to eat it?”
Is there a story written in the description that it is tough and tasteless? Still, comforted by the fact that my strength increased by 5 when I first consumed it, I cut off an appropriate amount and returned to the base camp. And immediately started eating wolf meat. If you bake it to some extent, you will be able to eat it.
“Shall I give it?”
Hoya lays flat on her belly and looks at me as if she is pitiful. Somehow, when we first met yesterday, I was very happy and shed tears, but a cat is a cat, and a hoya is a hoya.
“Okay, Dad, I’ll eat alone.”
While talking like that, I squeezed several of the treats for Hoya into a small bowl. Hoya then eats it while making a pleasant sound. And I ate wolf meat.
“It smells good… but why is it meat and not rubber?”
I can’t possibly tell my family to eat this. Even I, who have the ‘calm down’ skill, feel like going crazy. But after eating it, a message popped up saying that my strength had gone up by 5.
It was a taste that was difficult to handle even with my level 2 cooking skills.
“It was dirty when we met, let’s never meet again.”
I said, but if you can’t find another animal that boosts your strength, you have to eat that guy steadily. After eating wolf meat like that, everything became annoying.
“Hoya, Dad will sleep, so look after me.”
Nyaang.
Hoya lays down on my arm while answering. Then he licks my nose hard. Every cat has a favorite, and he really likes to lick my nose. And I really liked Hoya’s licking. As Hoya licked me like that, I fell asleep without realizing it.
***
The night has come.
Come to think of it, this is my first night here. It came in during the day, went out, and came back in during the day. Night has its own fears. And that fear applies to me as well. So I decided to overcome my fear.
“Hey, let’s go home.”
Nyaang!
My decision is to go home first.
Because I didn’t feel the need to stay here in the dark. At least, I decided that it would be better to greet the night after I have grown up a little rather than now.
When I returned, the earth was still daytime. The fact that time is made up of 1:5 is the part that makes me feel real again. A couple of hours from here, it will be a bright day when you go back to the gate.
First, I called Sunwoo. Because there was something I had to ask.
– Uh, what happened?
“Hey, this bow you gave me.”
-Oh, is it real?
Is it like that? Did I risk my life for imitation?
“Yai!”
-Hey, did you think it was real? Would that be too weak? Is it something you can tell just by looking at it?
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a bow since I was born, do you know that?”
-is it? But asking this question means you’ve shot a bow? Have you ever shot a stray dog?
“This madman. would you do that?”
– Well, you like animals.
I liked it so much that two of them came into my stomach. When I think of wolf meat, I feel something rising inside me.
-But why do you have to shoot it?
I couldn’t easily answer Sunwoo’s sharp question. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m upset. Because my passive skill ‘calm down’ always protects me.
“Then why don’t you check the things you bought? I shot it at a wooden board and it bounced off. So, I was stunned and called.”
– Well, that can’t be helped. Weapons are not something that can be easily sold. But if you change it a little, it becomes a real weapon.
“how?”
-Do it?
“Then good.”
– But why do you need it?
“Should I return it?”
-AS, of course, customer! Bring it to the store tomorrow and I’ll take care of it.
“OK.”
I think maybe Sunwoo will be the first to know about the existence of Gate. But even so, I don’t think there will be any problems.
“Hoya, let’s eat.”
I put Hoya’s favorite food in a clean bowl. This bowl is a bowl that Hoya originally loved. That’s how I took care of Hoya’s food, and I also ate a simple meal. Then, I took the seeds I brought from my parents’ house and crossed the gate.
***
It was a bright morning when I crossed the gate.
It feels like it makes me healthy every time the fresh air that I can’t feel in Seoul comes in.
“First of all, Hoya, let’s just plant this today and go home. Dad has to go to work tomorrow.”
Nyaang.
Hoya rolled over next to me and I turned over the ground hard. Then, the seeds were planted there, and the prepared water was poured. Fresh water will definitely exist here as well. Without water, Hoya would not have been able to survive, and wild boars and wolves would have died.
“uh? Can I even eat the dew?”
I had that thought for a moment, but I decided to have a positive thought that there was water. After sowing the seeds and inspecting the base camp, we returned home. A day in reality is five days here. So I went to sleep expecting the seeds to germinate. And the next day I got a bizarre phone call.
