Chapter 21: Single Horned Deer - Hunt
There was a solid distance between Martin and The Fire Mountain Organization. Martin didn't know where the settlements were because he didn't know much about the world he was in. The system gave him some knowledge but it didn't show the way directly, but for a serial killer like Martin, who has big problems about being human, it didn't matter
Martin didn't care about people or other living beings in any way. Also, he had no emotions such as love, anger, or sexual desire.
Therefore, things such as "Loyalty", "Friendship" or any human characteristic that people care about were not important to him.
All he wanted to do was get more power and kill people, watch them die in front of him. That was his purpose and also his job in his old world. He didn't know why, but he knew it wasn't normal and he had to keep it as self-contained as he could.
Martin was a serial killer, but that didn't mean he lost control and acted like an animal all the time. He knew his actions were bad. Even if he didn't understand why he was like this, nor he could describe why he is doing these things, he did it anyway. That's what was weird.
,
These thoughts came to Martin's mind as he was moving deep into the forest. At the time, he thought about himself and couldn't understand how advanced his creature was. His speed was at least a few times better than before, and thanks to the strength he had, he could move quickly.
He could easily jump between 7 meters and 10 meters, and he was not harmed by gravity when he fell to the ground. These were the details that mattered to him.
,
After Realizing that he had gone into the forest deep enough, he took a deep breath and began to focus. He began to listen to the sounds of birds he was hearing around and nature's voice. He was only focused for a few minutes and then he heard an animal sound. As far as he understood, this sound belonged to a deer-like animal.
,
Martin was moving as quietly as possible to the area where he heard the sound and as he progressed, he entered the open area filled with green grass and white untouched rocks from the densely treed area.
With only a few seconds of scrutiny, he saw a herd of animals far away. These animals resembled deer as Martin thought but of course, they had different points.
These deer, which had a single horn, had at least two meters in size on all fours and had pointed nails at the end of their feet. Martin knew these feet could be dangerous. That's when he used the system to study the creatures.
"Single Horned Deer"
"W-0 (Animal)
"STR = 0.3"
"Agility = 0.2"
"Endurance = 0.0"
"Int" = "0"

Martin breathed lightly. These deers he saw were not classified as a creature or monsters. They were mostly seen as animals. They weren't very strong in general anyway but the information that the system gave was simple psychology.
The system told itself in detail that these creatures were as strong in herds. That could mean a lot of things. Simply, if Martin attacks one of these deer, it means other deers will attack him together. At least that was how herd animals were generally moving in the old world.
Of course, Martin didn't spend much time on these issues. He studied the deer at the back of the herd by using the advantage of being human. Afterward, he simply collected weeds from around and drove the deer away from the herd.
After an average distance of 100 meters between Single Horned Deer and its herd, Martin jumped to the deer from the tree and cut off the deer's head with a quick claw attack. After cutting the deer, he grabbed it by the legs and began dragging it away from the herd quickly.
The smell of blood could have caught the attention of other dangerous creatures and animals around.
,
After a few hours of cleaning and dealing with things like that, Martin created a fire using his claws and after cooking the deer, he started eating.
At the same time, he saw that killing one Single Horned Deer gave him 50 points. Normally, he could keep hunting here but he didn't want to waste time like that.
