Battle of Ascension

On the way home, Randy asked Shana,

"Shana, how do you think I should distribute the stats points I have?"

"Depending on the Master, if the Master is just hunting alone it's better to allocate 5 into Strength and 5 into Agility"

"Why? is not it better if I allocate all stats point to the Strength, then the beasts will be more easily killed by increasing my attack?"

"Yes Master is right, if allocating all the stats points Master have to Strength, then the beasts will be easier to kill, but what if there is a beast that Master can't kill that suddenly appear, like a wolf that killed both Master's best friends? and now the Master only hunting alone, if Master makes a party then the Master can divide the task, as there will be a duty to defend the attack from beast and some are in charge of killing the beast, who do defense allocate stats points to Vitality and who in charge to kills the beasts allocate stats points to the Strength, but the Master only hunting alone, so better allocate half the stats points that Master get to Agility, if the Master meets a beast that Master can't defeat then the Master can run away, moreover allocate stats points to Agility is not a bad thing either, because if Master is fast enough Master can avoid beast attacks without needing to deflect it "Shana explained Randy in detail.

Shana's explanation makes sense, I'm hunting alone so I can not just rely on attack power but also require to have a fast speed, so if something dangerous happened I can escape.

"Hmm hmm, then I will allocate stats points according to what Shana suggested"

Randy immediately allocated the stats points he just got when he levels up.

------------------------------------------------

Randy allocates his 5 point stats to Strength and 5 to Agility.

'Hmm, I need 400 exp to level up to level 4, that means I have to kill 40 Demonic Rabbit to level up'

Randy arrived at Jakarta just before sunset, then he went straight to Monument to teleport back to East City.

When he arrived around the Monument, there were many people who opened more stalls than this morning, now is the time people are coming back from hunting because at night comes, hunting will become increasingly dangerous with limited views and many higher level beasts also hunting at night so people are more likely to hunt from the morning until before nightfall, so many people are selling animal parts like animal furs, animal paws, animal fangs, and even animal flesh can be sold, because certain meats can be made into delicacies if one has high level [Basic Cooking] skill.

Randy's mother Almira studied the skills of [Basic Cooking] and intends to open a restaurant in East City, so Randy does not intend to sell Demonic Rabbit meat because Demonic Rabbit meat can be given to his mother to cook.

Since Almira is not hunting so she gets Exp from every meal she cooked and Almira has leveled to level 1.

Because Randy did not sell or buy anything so he went straight to the teleportation portal, as usual, Randy's eyes became dark for a moment and when he could see again he was in East City.

He returns to East City, the man wearing golden armor is in front of the teleportation site, when returning to East City, one must be checked back by the man who wore golden armor. Randy did not understand why when he comes back he must be checked again.

After he finishes the check, Randy immediately goes to house number 2112. All the houses in Residential have the same shape, material, and color, so Randy has to remember his home number.

Upon arriving at the house, Randy remembered something and turned to Michael's house as he picked up 2 rabbit carcasses from System Storage and knocked on Michael's door.

'tok tok tok'

Soon the door was open, the one who opened the door was Michael's mother, Hellen.

"Oh Randy"

Hellen surprised, why did he come again? but when she sees 2 rabbits in Randy's hands, Hellen know why Randy came to her house.

"Hello Auntie Hellen, I managed to kill eight rabbits during hunting today so I came to give these two rabbits for Auntie and Mika," Randy told Hellen his purpose and immediately gave the two rabbits to Hellen.

Hellen accepts it because she knows Randy still felt guilty over Michael death, maybe even now he wanted to replace Michael to bear responsibility for her family, so Hellen can only accept the rabbit given by Randy until he really does not feel guilty anymore.

Seeing the two carcasses Demonic Rabbit received by Mother Michael, he was quite happy and he immediately excused himself to go home.

This is the second time Randy visits Michael's house and he did not see Michael younger sister, Mika.

When he got home, his father had returned home early than him and was sitting at the table drinking coffee and his mother in the kitchen cooking for dinner.

"Dad mom, I'm back" Randy shouted

Wisen looked at Randy and nodded his head, different from Almira she ran from the kitchen when she heard her son voice. Almira all day was very worried, she was afraid something happened to Randy so when she heard Randy voice she immediately ran from the kitchen to welcome his son while checking his son body whether there's injured or not.

Seeing that her mother was so worried, Randy hugged her mother.

"It's okay mom, I'm fine" Randy whispered to Almira as he hugged her.

Almira nodded her head and as they parted from the hug, Almira saw three scratches on Randy's right hand and shoulder.

"Hey what happened to your hands and shoulder? There's a wound in your hand and your shoulder, still, you said you're okay?" Almira said in an angry tone but could be seen from her eyes that Almira was very worried when she saw the wound in Randy's right hand and shoulder.

"It's okay mom, it's just a small wound" Randy assured his mother.

"No, you quickly wash up yourself after that I will bandage your wound!" Almira said in a serious tone and with a look that said you must obey my word.

Randy can only obey what his mother said and go to his room to bathe.

Seeing this Wisen could only shake his head.

Almira saw Wisen shake his head and immediately glared at him.

Wisen froze as he was glared by his wife, his wife's gaze as if to say "you will sleep outside tonight".

"Hmm, dear you're cooking do not be left too long, the food will be burned" Wisen reminded Almira with a gentle tone.

Then Almira remembered that she was cooking, then she ran back to the kitchen.

Seeing Almira ran back to the kitchen, Wisen was relieved.

20 minutes later Randy came out of his room after bathing, his mother had served the dinner at the table, when Randy wanted to sit and eat, he was pulled by his mother to bandage the wound in his hand.

After the wound is finished wrapped Randy directly eat with his family.

After finished eating Wisen asked Randy, "What about your hunt today?" Almira also looked at Randy.

"Very smooth, although initially, I had trouble killing the Demonic Rabbit and getting injured in the hand and shoulder after I raised the [Basic Sword Mastery] skill level to level 3, I was able to kill the Demonic Rabbit easily" Randy replied confidently.

Of course Randy did not tell his parents that he nearly died when fighting Demonic Rabbit because he did not want his parents to worry, especially his mother.

Wisen relieved, at least his son can hunt smoothly but unlike Wisen, Almira is still worried about Randy.

Seeing the worried in Almira gaze, Randy said to his mother, "No need to worry mom, I'll just hunt Demonic Rabbit this week and Demonic Randy is pretty easy to kill" Randy tried to convince her mother not to worry about him.

Almira knew she can not convince Randy not to hunt so she can only nod her head, at least her son will only hunt low-level beasts.

Seeing his mother nodded her head Randy stood up and said,

"Okay, I'll sleep first,t so tired today. Good night dad, mom"

Randy walked to his room and immediately lay in bed to sleep, Randy asleep shortly after he lay in bed. Today he was exhausted because he was hunting alone and almost dying in a fight against Demonic Rabbit so he fell asleep quickly after lying in bed.
