Tetsuo realized to get stronger he might have to Hunt Dangerous Creatures.
He didn't went for another hunt as sun was beginning to set.
Tetsuo sat down and leaned against tree to rest
30 minutes later
After having enough rest Tetsuo found some dry grass and wood to light fire and the used friction method to light a fire.
After that he cooked rabbit meat for the dinner.
After having eating he leaned against tree and closed his eyes.

The next morning Tetsuo opened his eyes.
After doing some light exercise he took a branch of tree and left explore the forest.
Since it is very early in the morning there was still mist in the forest and the air is vey fresh
Tetsuo moved very vigilantly in the forest.
After walking for some time he saw small animals eating berries from small trees.
So Tetsuo got near the tree, animals heard sound and saw a large creature and dispersed.
He ate some berries and they were very sweet so he took some and wrapped it in a big leaf and carried with him and after the walked forward.
Tetsuo walked for 30 minutes and suddenly he heard sound of water with his enhanced senses.
So he cautiously moved in the direction of the sound.
After he walked for 5 minutes in the dense forest he saw a big lake.
When he got near he noticed very big alligators resting on the shore of the lake
he walked along the shore and notice a alligator who was resting alone.
Tetsuo got near it and suddenly attacked it and before Alligator could react he pierced the harp wood branch through alligator eyes.
The alligator died cleanly with no extra moment.
After that he checked the status and saw his level
Level : 1.40
Seeing this Tetsuo was very happy after that he carried the dead alligator towards his resting spot.
After that he cooked the alligator meat for his breakfast.
After eating He started his Hunt.
So for the whole afternoon He Hunted alligators and his level also jumped to level 3
As Tetsuo reached level 3 he got strong again, his hearing was enhanced, his strength increased again.
Tetsuo felt that he can crush anything but he knew that this was just an illusion because his strength increased very quickly.
After that he hunt another alligator only to found that it gave very less experience. So he stopped Hunting alligators.
So he start exploring the forest again, By now Tetsuo had idea about this forest.
This must be a Conservative Zone that's why he didn't found any Humans in the forest.
To get out of the forest he need to reach level 20 so he could ignore threats and get out of this forest.
After walking for 2 hours in the forest Tetsuo saw a very tall and large ape with moss and plants around his body on the tree.
Looking at Ape Tetsuo concluded that the Ape hide helps it grow moss and plants on his body which help him hide and ambush.
Tetsuo observed it from behind a rock 'With such a big size it will definitely provide me with life energy to level up.'
'But there is a risk, judging from the build that Ape must be quite powerful his fists might hit very hard'
After thinking for a moment Tetsuo decided to Hunt Ape down, because he need to get stronger quickly if he encountered a dangerous threat he might get killed in this forest.
After deciding Tetsuo Attacked the Ape from the front.
When Tetsuo got near the ape noticed it and attacked Tetsuo.
The battle was intense. Tetsuo relied on his strengthened agility to maneuver, constantly stabbing with his sharp spear, but each time he could only cause flesh wounds to the ape.
The hide of the ape is very powerful.
The Mossback Ape was also very strong, it attacked Tetsuo with its two fists.
One of the fist of Mossback Ape landed on Tetsuo chest and his ribs made a creaking sound.
Tetsuo endured the pain and taking advantage of it he stabbed the spear in the left eye of the mossback ape.
The mossback ape got angry and again punched Tetsuo.
Due to mossback ape punch Tetsuo flew 3 meters and crashed onto a tree.
Tetsuo stood up and spit out the blood that has came in his mouth due to that ape strong attack.
After spitting his blood he still has a metallic taste in his mouth.
He look towards the mossback ape and saw that it was trying to pull out the spear that Tetsuo has inserted in its left eye.
Tetsuo took this opportunity and got near the mossback ape and kicked the back of the spear.
The spear which was embedded deep in the skull of mossback ape pierced it brain.
The mossback ape let out a final roar and stopped moving, its massive body collapsed on the ground.
Tetsuo also collapsed on the ground and started panting, due to double pain he was on the verge of collapse.
This was the first time Tetsuo felt such pain his vison was very blurry.
But suddenly he felt his pain subsided and he was feeling his injuries were healing rapidly.
He focused on his tattoo and saw
{ +2 level }
{ Rank : Level 5 (70%) }
With only one Hunt his level increased by 2 levels but the price is very heavy.
he looked at his chest and saw the place where mossback ape punched and saw swollen skin with big red fist marks.
Judging from the marks he might have a simple fracture which can be healed naturally.
After checking his injuries Tetsuo stood up and walked towards Mossback ape corpse and pulled out his spear and walked back towards his hideout with the support of his spear.

After walking for 4 hours Tetsuo reached his hideout, during this time his pain lessened and his injury was recovering very quickly.
He was still feeling pain but it was significantly reduced compared to before.
After reaching his hideout he cooked some meat and ate it and leaned on the tree and closed his eyes.
He took a nap for 3 hours and opened his eyes only to feel very refreshed.
His pain also disappeared so he checked his injury only to find that it was already healed.
Seeing this Tetsuo murmured "My healing speed was very amazing"
From that day Tetsuo changed his strategy.
He decided to hunt large creatures he no longer targeted weak and small creatures.
Tetsuo hunted Mossback ape, Wild Boars who were insanely strong and fast with a big size, Mutated Crocodile with rock like armor plates each of them were very dangerous but they provided rich life energy.
Days passed by.
Tetsuo became increasingly familiar with the forest.
As he become stronger he figure out how to hunt these creatures more efficiently.
He figured out how to track prey, what are their weakness. his experience in fighting these creatures become very significant.
A month later Tetsuo reached level 10.
His physical fitness had reached an astonishing level: he could fight those magical beasts with his bare hands without even getting injured.
His bones become very solid he can even knock a small tree with one punch.
Two months later he reached Level 13. He started exploring more dangerous areas in the forest, even actively entering the territories of some powerful creatures.
Three months later he reached Level 15, Ordinary beasts could no longer pose a threat to him, he needed to find stronger prey.
During this time Tetsuo also discovered that as his level increased the requirement life energy to upgrade level also increased.
That means he could only hunt powerful creatures if he wants to maintain his current leveling speed.
So he started exploring all the areas of this forest to find a strong prey.
Time passed very quickly
4 months passed
Somewhere in the forest, A large panther whose size is 3-3.5 meters crashed on the tree, it claw length is between 20-25 cm it has fist mark on its head, it tried to stood up but collapsed on the ground and stopped moving.
Tetsuo walked towards the panther and checked and found that it was dead.
During these four months Tetsuo has undergone incredible changes.
His height has grown from 1.8m to 1.9m, his physique was muscular but tough, his muscles are very solid, he had many scars on his body which are the marks of the battles he fought.
Tetsuo has beard on his face and his hairs are also grown very long because of lack of hair cut. He was wearing a animal hide to cover his most important places.
During these 4 months Tetsuo has also trained his body and slowly but gradually he adapted to the double pain he get from injuries so he could fight even when he is injured.
He focused on his Sun Tattoo and saw his level.
{ Level : 19 (75%) }
After four months he has reached Level 19 from Level 15, Tetsuo already explored most of the forest and fought many creatures but he still couldn't find exit from this forest.
His strength has went under incredible changes, a hundred-meter dash took him less than 3 seconds; his vision could see details in the leaves hundred meters away, his hearing could capture subtle sounds within a hundred meters.
Tetsuo looked at panther corpse and murmured " One more prey and i will reach level 20 and start using Nen"
After saying that Tesuo took the most valuable out of the corpse that is fangs and claws.
after taking that Tetsuo walked towards his hideout.
