I take out the sword from my inventory, and to my surprise, it comes with a belt for my scabbard. I put it around my waist and smile a little when I see a sword on my belt. I love mediaeval fantasy stories and video games.

I like playing them, but because of my occupation as a CEO, I did not have enough time to play them. It is my dream to cosplay as a mediaeval knight or fantasy adventurer. I even ordered an actual steel sword from a swordsmith I found on the internet. It has been blunted and cannot be used as a weapon, but I'm happy to have bought it even then.

I want to buy the real thing, but the swordsmith cannot ship it to me if it is sharpened. I tried to sharpen the sword, but I did not have enough time to do it.

"Now, where should I be going?"

I can see a massive city in the distance from up here, but I think it will take me a day to arrive there. I look down and see a village not too far away from the hill I stood on. Maybe I should go there first.

I walk down the hill and follow the dirt road that I assume will lead me to the village near the hill. While following the path, I suddenly hear something coming from my right. I take out my sword and point at where the noise is coming from.

A second later, I see a wild boar charging at me. I quickly jump away to the left and see the wild animal run past me.

I look at the name above the Wild Boar.

|Wild Boar (Level 1)|

I looked around for a second, and a plan formed inside my head

I looked around for a second, and a plan formed inside my head. I jump away once again when I see the wild boar charging at me and start to run toward the nearby tree. I put my back to the tree and waited for the pig to run toward me.

When the wild boar charges at me once again, I jump away and see it crash against the tree. When I see it dazed from crashing into the tree, I leap forward and stab my sword into its brain. There is no blood or guts, and I can see the boar disappear a second later.

|Wild Boar has been slain!|

|Every reward will be sent to your inventory|

That thing is a monster?! It looks like the real Wild Boar, just a little bit bigger. Or at least it was bigger than a regular pig. I have never seen a wild boar.

I put my hand into my inventory and saw that I got two-kilo pork meat and one pigskin. I open my stats, and I can see a gold coin symbol just under my stats. I can see the number seven hundred and ten next to the gold coin symbol.

It looks like I get ten coins from killing the boar. I really want to get into the forest and hunt another monster, but I need to go to the village first and get some information. I will only fight the monster that comes at me.

~Sometimes later~

I wipe some blood away from my clothes and release a tired sigh. Holy shit, this place is filled with monsters. I encountered at least twenty wild boars before I got out of the forest. I managed to raise my stats and even my level before even getting out of the forest.
