It's not even noon yet, so I think I'll go out to hunt some orcs as soon as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I want to repay you in any way I can for trusting me and leaving your storage bag with me first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Orc habitat is quite deep in the forest, but there may be some wandering around by themselves like the one I just saw.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hope we can hunt some rabbits and sheep too, since we have a big bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I decide to go back to the house, chew some leftover dried meat from yesterday, and head back to the woods.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The morning gatekeeper must have been replaced by a different person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was glad that this gatekeeper was also a familiar face, and he said "take care" to me as he escorted me out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was able to enter the forest feeling good, knowing that it is little things like this that give us energy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As we went deeper into the forest, rabbits appeared several times as in the morning, but I guess they must have gotten the hang of it after the battle with the orcs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We easily defeated them and threw them into our storage bags.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After hunting three rabbits, we found a new monster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A forest crawler, a caterpillar.

Name: Forest Crawler

Race: Crowlers

Assistive magic, slowdown

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh? He's got magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go get it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then let's take him down quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I must have been careless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought there was no way I could lose to this caterpillar after defeating the orc. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He stands directly in front of Crowler and holds up his dagger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then he uses [Leg Strength Enhancement - Small] and closes the distance at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He raised the dagger and just when I thought he was going to stab me, he spit something out of his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

By the time I retreated, it was already too late, and the spit-up hit my right leg below the knee.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Whoa!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There was no pain, no pain, but my right leg was tangled with something like a pure white thread.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And the thread-like object stuck me to the ground with strong adhesive force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I can't move my legs!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I tried to move my legs in a panic, but they did not move at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And while my attention was focused on my leg, he hit me with his body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ouch!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then he bites my arm with sharp teeth I never thought I'd have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Geeaaaahhh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh no, oh no, oh no, we have to do something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I swing my dagger, but my legs don't move like I want them to, so I can't hold my ground and can't hit anything at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I struggle, he spits out more string-like things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This time, it hit me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am visibly slowing down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, ......[magic-wind]!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I fire a mess of wind magic, and a few of the shots hit, causing green blood to spurt from the crawler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Bathed in the blood, I activated my [Strong Arm] and thrust out my dagger with all my might.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The dagger struck him between the eyes, and pierced through to the root of the dagger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He slowly fell to the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Thank God!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What was my mistake?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's true that I have gained some skills and I may be stronger than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But I'm just a novice hunter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I only managed to defeat an orc because I fought carefully.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You can't win if you fight too proudly and too carelessly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I got away with this much because it was a caterpillar, but if it had been an orc. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's reflect on this and remember that we are only half a man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Otherwise, I will lose my life sooner or later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The fight with Crowler was a good lesson for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With this reflection in my mind, I look at my current situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My body is covered with Crowler's fluids and I am green, and I feel sick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And my right leg and my entire body are covered with a white thread-like substance that Crowler spit out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First of all, I have to do something about these threads, otherwise there is nothing I can do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Using [Cut], he cuts the thread-like substance from his body and legs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This thread? Maybe I'll take it home with me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that, he puts them into the storage bag that his father left him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I will put the small things in this bag and the big things in a new bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At the same time, I take out the potion and sprinkle it on the arm that was bitten by Crowler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The wound slowly closes up, emitting a cloud of smoke.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Phew, it's a good thing I brought the potion with me, just in case".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The potion I had was of the lowest grade, but it was reasonably priced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was living on the edge, so it was a perfect bottle for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll have to buy it from an alchemist when I can afford it. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm? Alchemy? I had it, didn't I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Alchemy: The art of mixing various materials to create new substances. The more skilled you are, the more effective you can create.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, alchemy indeed!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You can create potions by any chance!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lower-grade potion: A potion with a lesser effect. It can be made by mixing herbs and clean water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess ordinary water is not good enough, since it is called "clean water". .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's collect medicinal herbs when we see them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And maybe we can ask the alchemist to show us how he makes them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay, now let's dismantle the crawler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We don't know what we can get for it, so let's just take it all back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This much still fits into the smaller storage bag.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After storing the crawlers, we go to the back again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After walking for a while, we see some rabbits, so we take them down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We continue on and find a sheep, which was our goal for the morning.

You have the skills I expected, of course I'll take these away too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll cut out his abilities and throw them away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All right, let's be on our guard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I go behind him and hit him with my winning move, "Magic Wind".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, it hits, and the sheep is instantly covered in blood. Not knowing what just happened, I approach the rampaging sheep at once, use my [Strong Arm], and tear it apart with my dagger in one fell swoop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sheep collapsed without a second thought, and the victory was decided.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sheep probably died before I could understand what had happened to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I finish dismantling it before the other monsters approach, and store it in the sack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's almost full. If it had been this morning, I would have left here, but there is still enough room in the storage for more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We haven't killed the orcs yet, so of course we have to keep moving forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, we must be on our guard and be careful! That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After that, we continued onward, killing a few sheep and rabbits, and finally found an orc.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And all three of them at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

One at a time would probably not be a problem, but only one of them would be able to get through our surprise attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The only way to break through this is to use the two auxiliary magic we have just obtained.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The first is the auxiliary magic "slow down" and the second is the auxiliary magic "sleep".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First, put one of them to sleep with sleep, and if they don't notice, put the other one to sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If they don't sleep, I'll cast [auxiliary magic/slow] and hit them with [magic/wind] while they are still far away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After that, it's a flow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It would be much easier if the first two sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First, cast 【Heavy Arm】, 【Strengthen Legs Small】, and 【Strengthen Eyesight Medium】 beforehand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, don't forget to take away their skills and abilities beforehand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Keep as much distance as possible, and watch the timing from the rear. ...... Now! [Auxiliary magic, sleep]!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay, he's asleep. One more time!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... d*mn, it looks like they noticed and resisted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As per the plan, I rush towards the two orcs, casting [Auxiliary Magic - Slow Down] on them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I dodge the orcs, whose speed is slowing down, and throw my dagger as fast as I can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems that he has successfully sliced through the right arm. He shouts loudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then he lunges at the slowed orc, and hits him in the face with a [magic wind] blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The orc probably didn't expect the magic to come here, and it hits him directly in the face, just as he intended.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Both orcs are now wounded, their movements becoming monotonous due to their anger, and their movements slowing down due to the damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The orc with his face smashed in will probably be fine later, so we decide to take down the orc with the slashed arm first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Just when I was thinking that, I suddenly received a big shock from behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gosh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems that the orc's fist, which was aimed at me, hit me directly in the back first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wobbling on my feet, I stand up and take a short distance away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I shoot [magic wind] at his feet again, and close the distance again, aiming at the moment he gets frightened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I swing my dagger with all my might and slit the orc's throat at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The orc lets out a desperate scream and falls to the ground, his face smashed in, wielding his stone axe in a mess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is no need to get close to the blind man, so I fire a volley of [magic wind] from a distance to choke him out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now, only the sleeping ones are left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You don't want them to wake up suddenly, so you move away from them again and cast [Sleep] over and over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After confirming that he does not move, I thrust a dagger into his heart from behind with all my might.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a hard fight, but I managed to kill the three orcs without incident, and I fell to the ground.
