After killing his second and third level 4 monsters, taking a big step closer to the almighty level 5, Clinton had the craziest period of his life since reincarnating into this world across the next 5 days that followed.
A day after his battle against the pack of Undead Trees, Clinton waited for the Undead Trees to spawn again before he re-engaged them in battle.
This time, after setting them ablaze, the battle ended even faster than before as he killed the Undead Trees at a higher efficiency and speed.
And with that, he completed his tally of five level 4 monster kills, fulfilling the requirements to level up to become a level 5 high-tier skeleton.
After becoming a level 5 high-tier skeleton, all his attributes increased by a whooping figure of 0.2 attribute points each.
A few days prior, Clinton entered the decaying forest for the first time and was at the very bottom of the food chain in this ecosystem.
Then, he could only look up at the high and mighty level 5 monsters.
He dared not go close to them, only observing them from afar.
Fast forward a few days forward to now, here he was, now the sixth level 5 monster in this forest and one of the apex predators around.
But like Clinton grew to understand with time, that was the problem.
Unlike the weaker monsters, every single level 5 monster in this decaying forest was an apex predator, one of the destroyers in town.
Most of them, their whole life, they never had to respawn since no other monster could bring them down.
Only the Gate Guardian was powerful enough to bring them down.
They were the ancient masters of the decaying forest.
They had skills and abilities that were far beyond Clinton’s expectations. Not just that, most scaringly, they were smarter than the grunt monsters, and they had the biggest monster packs in the whole forest.
Of course, except the Stone Ogres since they never moved in packs.
All these paled in comparison to the most important detail of all though. The most important detail that separated the level 5 monsters from the lesser-leveled monsters was their access to magic.
Magic?
This was an ethereal concept that Clinton never thought was possible but with the level 5 apex predators, magic was just a part of their daily life.
‘F*ck! Why don’t I have access to my own magic?!’
Of course, Clinton fumed for a long time, blaming the injustice on his miserable undead system and the curse of the angel Athena but despite this setback, he never stopped trying.
After planning for over a day, during his first engagement against a level 5 monster, the only level 5 Green Goblin, Clinton sorely regretted it.
He was soundly smacked till he was left scrambling for pieces of his life.
It was Clinton’s third near-death experience since being reincarnated into this world as punishment for his sins.
His first was the encounter against the Holy Knights.
As for his second, it was his first battle encounter against a Stone Ogre.
After that experience, Clinton learned bitter lessons.
The first lesson was that low-tier weapons were useless against level 5 monsters. These monsters could only be damaged by mid-tier weapons.
No matter how much force he exerted with a low-tier weapon, it was always 0 damage, one of the first weird physics of this strange world that he encountered.
In the end, he had to rely only on his mid-tier weapons to hunt, forcing him to craft a lot more weapons in the 5 days.
During those 5 days, he clashed again against more level 5 monsters and during the first few clashes, every time, he was left on the verge of death.
For the first 3 days after he started, he almost died each time.
By the 4th time which was today, forced to keep on honing his combat skills due to the harrowing combat experiences, he finally did it, unlocking a new combat class that was related to his daggers.
And with it, he got 2 combat classes.
Like he expected though, despite having 2 combat classes, only one remained as his main class, the Spear Master class.
But more importantly, unlocking a new class gave him new skills and free attribute points that he could work with.
After taking his time to train and master his new skills after allocating his free attribute points, Clinton decided to take on a level 5 apex predator again.
This time, he lasted longer but in the end, he learned something.
The apex predators of this decaying forest did not just have overwhelming offensive power, their defensive prowess was also borderline ridiculous.
After that battle, Clinton finally succumbed.
‘There’s no way I can kill these apex predators with the tools that are currently accessible to me’.
‘Forget about completing my race evolution mission, there’s no way I stand a chance before that freakish Guardian when the apex predators here are already this OP and f*cking messed up’. He sighed grievingly.
‘There’s nothing fair in reincarnating me in this hell at all’.
‘If I am to stand a chance at killing the apex predators, I need to get something new and dangerous’.
‘Something dangerous like maybe, a more powerful weapon?’
The moment that he thought about it, Clinton remembered his first day in this world. Inside that room where he was blinded by bright lighting.
In that room, Clinton remembered seeing a pile of bones of different skeletons.
He even remembered seeing the skeletons of a dead Dragon.
Clinton’s eyes gleamed once he remembered. ‘Perhaps, I can turn the bone of a Dragon into a weapon?’
The idea excited him, it sent all his senses tingling.
Immediately after he thought of it, he concluded that it was his best bet if he wanted to leave this miserable first level of this dungeon.
Clinton was wary of the Holy Knights that he encountered in his first day in this world, scared even, but his determination to get even more powerful trumped his fear against those unknown beings.
He made his decision but before executing it, he focused on something first.
He observed his current system status again.

Clinton looked into the distance with a dangerous gleam in his eye. ‘Unlike my first time, this time, you’ll find that I’m no longer that useless twat’.
‘Now, at least,’ he scratched his skull. ‘I think I’m no longer as useless, maybe, right?’ He chuckled awkwardly.
He didn’t linger though, he embarked on his journey.
