Rocky slowly took off his hood, revealing his firm face. He released a long breath into the air before it froze into crystal fragments.
He summoned the system screen.

Rocky shook his head and scratched it in confusion. Indeed, his beast always had some weird hobbies he could never predict.
Firstly, he found a forest. He observed his surroundings before heading north, where he could see greenery stretching to both sides.
20 minutes later,
He narrowed his eyes when he saw a horde of goblins ahead.
"It seems the forest is your shelter. Sorry for invading your private place."
Without hesitation, he summoned his weapon and obsidian armor. With the black sword in his hand and his aura flaring, the horde of goblins swiftly sensed his presence.
He swung his sword upward, cutting a goblin in half. Blood soaked his blade. He didn’t stop.
The light of the obsidian sword danced and gleamed in midair while deafening yells echoed through the forest.
Even if he hadn’t trained much in swordsmanship in the past, under the influence of [Intermediate Swordsmanship], he looked like an experienced fighter who had gone through many years of training.
Awesome... that single word could describe his beast.
He slowly put his sword back into its sheath before approaching the tall trees in the forest. He lightly touched one of them. Then, he smirked.
"Want this?"
Bobby nodded and jumped off Rocky’s shoulder. In an instant, he returned to his true form — a three-meter-tall humanoid ape.
He summoned his massive longsword and lifted it up as if it weighed nothing at all.
He tightened his grip and performed a series of slashes ahead, releasing a barrage of energy blades that cut down a dozen trees.
Bobby nodded in satisfaction while approaching the severed trees. He was ready to build a wooden house.
Suddenly, Rocky heard the sound of wolves howling echo through the forest. All the birds quickly flew into the sky, stirring the gloomy atmosphere.
Rocky sighed as he glanced at the horde of wolves surrounding the area. All of them stared at him and Bobby with starving, vicious eyes.
He turned his attention to Bobby, who was concentrating on refining the trees and ignoring everything around him.
"Alright, I’ll handle them. Just focus on your work."
Rocky instantly triggered [Aura of Apex Predator] to weaken the monsters. The next moment, he stood beside Bobby.
"Come on...Come to your papa."
One of them revealed its fangs and lunged at Bobby.
Rocky’s eyes gleamed sharply as he leapt into the air. At the same time, he released a simple slash.
Soon, the beheaded wolf collapsed beneath Rocky’s feet.
Its eyes rolled back while its tongue hung out pathetically.
The horde of wolves glared at Rocky warily before attacking him all at once.
Rocky spat and tightened his grip on his sword.
He began to move like he was dancing, performing skillful steps and finishing off each monster that dared to distract Bobby.
A literal slaughter.
At some point, the immense number of wolves made Rocky frown. Indeed, the monsters from the high-risk green dungeon were no joke.
One of the wolves bit Rocky’s leg, dragging him down from behind.
"Damn!"
Taking the chance, the wolves jumped on Rocky and began biting him, pulling him from every direction as if children were fighting over a toy. Each of them had a part of Rocky in their jaws.
Luckily for him, all of his body was covered by obsidian armor, so they couldn’t harm him.
Rocky gritted his teeth and lifted his right hand along with the wolf that was biting it. He slammed that wolf into another one to free himself.
Once free, Rocky quickly grabbed the wolf clamped onto his leg with both hands. With brutal force, he tore its maw in half, blood bathing over his pure black armor.
He began to give up using the sword.
At this moment, his fighting style looked more like a beast than a human’s. He crushed every wolf with his bare hands.
Each of his punches smashed a wolf’s head into a puddle of blood. He tore them apart and battered them as if they were nothing but ragged dolls.
They grew scared and stepped back before Rocky’s brutal display.
At some point, a white wolf with long horns appeared among them. Muscular lines were carved across its body.
Its maw revealed long teeth, capable of tearing through Rocky’s armor. It was truly a big problem right now.
"Leader, huh?" Rocky smirked weakly, his breath turning ragged after many rounds against the horde.
"Huh?" Rocky glanced at Bobby, who was walking toward him. His pure black armor quickly materialized over him.
His beast had finished building the wooden house.
"Finally... I can rest." Rocky sighed and dropped to one knee.

The king wolf and its underlings quickly charged at Bobby like a tidal wave crashing into a fragile house.
Bobby didn’t fear them at all.
He dragged his longsword and began performing a series of complex combos toward the horde of wolves.
He spun like a grinder—wherever he passed, mangled wolves were left behind.
At some point,
None of the wolves were left standing. They had all been hacked and chopped apart brutally. Blood flooded the area like a crimson sea.

"My beast always knows how to surprise me." He smirked while looking at the system screen.
At this point, he wouldn’t be surprised even if something ridiculous appeared.
What the hell are these stats?

Rocky’s jaw almost dropped when he looked at the runes ahead.
"Is this a dream?"
