Kacha slammed into a tree with a harsh thud.
"Damn it… that ram hits hard!" he groaned, wiping sweat from his brow.
The green boar lunged at him again, but Kacha twisted aside just in time and slashed his dagger across its belly.
CRACK!
The boar let out a deafening roar, knocking him back as he skidded across the ground.
"…That hurts…" Kacha muttered, clutching his side.
Suddenly, a metallic voice echoed inside his head:
"Congratulations. You have acquired the skill: Iron Body."
Kacha froze for a moment. "What… the hell? Is this some kind of game thing…?"
The boar charged again, but this time, as Kacha slid along the ground with his new skill, the impact was softened.
Then—WHOOSH!
A massive figure, nearly three meters tall, appeared behind him, gripping a huge club. The giant swung it with a crushing force, sending Kacha skidding sideways.
SYSTEM ALERT: Enemy Type — Orc.
Kacha groaned, rubbing his shoulder. "Damn it… I really have to fight both of these idiots? But… why is the orc hitting weaker than that boar?"
The green boar leaped, ramming straight at the orc. The orc swung its club to block, sending the beast flying—but the boar came back and slammed its tusks into the orc's head, decapitating it.
Kacha's eyes went wide. "Wait… seriously? That boar just killed the orc?!"
Seeing an opening, Kacha grinned fiercely. "Alright… you're mine!"
He lunged forward, stabbing repeatedly into the green boar until it collapsed in a heap. His dagger snapped in half from the force.
From the fallen beast dropped:
Blood Delta ×40
Delta Hide ×50
Kacha raised an eyebrow. "Blood… and hides? What the hell is that?"
Before he could catch his breath, a horde of green and brown boars—smaller than the first—charged at him in overwhelming numbers.
"No… no way… too many of them!" Kacha shouted, bracing himself.
Then, a surge of icy water shot from the front of the stream.
WHOOSH! CRASH!
The boars froze solid and shattered into pieces with explosive cracks. Trees around the area toppled in a chaotic wave.
From the aftermath, a calm female voice rang out:
"So… the new kid, huh?"
A woman with flowing white hair stepped out from the forest.
"The Delta-tier boars… they can definitely take on orcs," she said, her tone cool and composed.
Kacha blinked, stunned. "Uh… who are you?"
She smiled faintly. "I'm Lezang. You're the new kid in this world, right?"
Kacha nodded. "Yeah… I'm Kacha. "
Lezang pointed toward the stream. "See that beaver over there? That one… the Big Beaver, Elemental Tier."
Kacha's jaw dropped. "Wait… what… Elemental Tier… beaver? I don't even…"
Lezang chuckled softly. "I can tell… you're really new here. Don't worry, I'll explain about the monster tiers later. For now, let's head back to the city."
Kacha could only nod, still dazed. Then he grinned, trying to sound confident. "Alright, beautiful… let's head back."
