#8 Party time!!

It was nice sunny day. Birds were chirping happily. People were busy on streets. But at this time in an apartment, suddenly a person vanished from his bed into thin air.

And that person was Ethan!

...

Beep..

"Daily mission has been failed by host! Penalty will be given to host! Chest will be taken by system!", System gave warning but Ethan who was sleeping didn't hear anything.

Beep..

"Host is being transported to an island. Host shall stay alive for 8 hours on island!", System went silent and Ethan vanished from his bed.

....

On an island,

"Burppp...brupp"

A person was drowning in water, he was in critical condition. He was trying his best to get out from water but all struggles were to no avail. Suddenly that person opened his eyes.

Ethan was in a small lake. He looked around, dumbly. He was in a forest!

Wait, what?

"You shitty system, why didn't you wake me up? What if I died in water!", As soon as Ethan read the notifications from system, he knew it's penalty ground for him.

8 hours...

Won't I miss my work if I'm here for 8 hours?

Beep..

"Host shouldn't worry about it. The time here is different from the real world. An hour here is a minute out there. So host should try to survive!", As was system was laughing at him for his incompetency, system replied.

Damn you system! How could you do this to the future hero of the world! I'll definitely pay you back hundred folds!

But system simply ignored Ethan's rebukes.

....

Street 49, Rose cafe.

A slightly old man, around 41, with neatly combed hair, and well trimmed beard was sitting and savouring the taste of coffee. He was wearing a maroon suite and black shoes that looked quite dashing with his black hair. He looked like noble.

"Mhm, this coffee is the best thing for starting a day.", Old man mumbled to himself.

"And a good way to release your frustrations!", Suddenly his tone become a bit icy. People around felt a bit chill in environment but they ignored it.

"Who's so daring to kill my undead in salmon city? Am I being too low-key for past decade or what!", The old man was a bit furious.

"I think they are missing me now!", Old man harrumphed.

Yes! This well dressed, well combed old man was master of the undead that was slayed by Ethan.

If Ethan would be here, then he would have guessed that he had dug his own grave for no reason at all because...

"Level 73
(Lord Benjamin)"

.....

Why should I, the great, Ethan hunt have to be in this situation!

Ethan was sitting on a tree and down there were, who knows what kind of monsters were roaming. They were size of wolf and looked like mixture of dog, cat and things who knows! This wasn't the main thing of point, the main thing was

"Level 20"

"Level 21"

"Level 18"

All were in different leagues than that of the undead he fought yesterday! He was able to kill the undead because of its weakness. But these monsters were living.

First Ethan thought to keep sitting on tree and 8 hours will just pass by. But he was wrong! After some time, there were some ants that came from underground and started to climb the tree. They were of a fist size! They were scary in their own kind. The number was around 15 which wasn't that much. And their level too weren't that high.

"Level 12"

"Level 13"

"Level 11"

Can't I kill these ants? I mean I have a weapon and my strength is different too from before. And i have to test my fist technique too.

Let's give it a try!

As the ants were climbing, when the first one reached, Ethan thought of taking the Hammer out and it came straight to his hand.

He swung the hammer down on ant with full strength!

"Creak"

Something broke! The shell of ant was broken that was hit. But it was still twitching. Ethan hit it once more and ant died.

Beep..

"Congratulations to host for killing a mystic ant and reaching level 8."

So isn't it heaven for me? Ethan smiled devilishly and looked towards the remaining ants and the monsters down there. The monsters felt like they saw a devil incarnate.

Party time!!
