When Daichi looked up he saw three giant angry apes looking down at him. With eyes red and spit drooling between their teeth, the giant apes snarled at him. They were the size of an adult human.
Daichi didn't make any sudden moves and used 'observe'.
[LV.24] [Long Armed Ape]
HP: 3681 CP: 2430
[A primate with particularly strong and long arms. These apes are savage and usually hunt in the evening or nights. They travel in packs of 3 or 4. They are very territorial creatures and would attack and kill anything that trespasses into their domain. They use their fists to smash their prey. This Ape came here due to the sounds of the bat it heard earlier. This Ape wants to kill you for entering its hunting area.]
[LV.23] [Long Armed Ape]
HP: 3247 CP: 1988
[LV.23] [Long Armed Ape]
HP: 3350 CP: 2020
'OH man! These things have double the health and chakra points I have. And their bodies look pretty strong. I need to go for the necks and joints. Cut their limbs and make them useless.'
As Daichi was thinking about his next move the apes jumped down and quickly surrounded him. They were much faster than they looked. The ape with the level 24 went at Daichi.
Before he could do anything, a fast powerful fist plowed into Daichi's gut sending him flying back.
-203 HP
"Ghaa.." Spit and blood flew out of his mouth. He crashed into a tree and slumped down into the ground.
'Ahhh…Damn it that hurt!... If it were me in the old world I'd be a paste right now. That monkey just took out 200 hp with one punch. The speed and strength of these things are ridiculous. If I take much more like that... I'm a goner for sure.'
Daichi slowly got up. Watching the prey it just smacked away get up, the level 24 ape got even more aggressive. It charged at Daichi while the other two stood on either side and shrieked.
The ape sent a punch just as powerful as the one before but it missed its mark. Daichi dodged and tried to cut the ape with his tanto but he missed his target as well. Both ape and human attacked and dodged each other. The ape had the advantage of long arms and had a larger reach. Meanwhile Daichi had a sharp short sword as his weapon.
Seeing as he was getting nowhere Daichi decided to go a different route. He subtly took out a smoke bomb and threw it at the apes face. The moment it made contact and exploded, Daichi using sprint skill rushed the ape and slashed.
Daichi's attack made contact but he felt that it didn't do much damage. The ape jumped out of smoke and looked at the wound on its right arm. A shallow diagonal slash running down its elbow. The fact that something it viewed, as a prey, managed to wound it made it angry.
"Rooaar…" It roared into the night and pounded its chest. The 2 accompanying apes roared and pounded their chests as well.
'An intimidation tactic. Well… it isn't not working. I'll give them that…'
"Fine… you want it your way… you got it." Daichi shouted at the apes as he put his sword back in his inventory and equipped his fists with knuckle dusters.
'If I can't cut you, then I'm gonna pound you into the ground.'
This time both Daichi and the ape rushed and met halfway. Both fist colliding and sending a small wave of air around them. Daichi had used 'strong hit' and boosted the strength and speed of his punch and still he came up slightly short. His arm was slightly numb but he pushed himself and kept attacking.
As the fight progressed Daichi was assessing his situation. 'Rage and strength are its advantages. But it has no sense of strategy. The wild punches are getting easier to predict and evade. And that's my advantage.‘
‘A prolonged fight isn't to my benefit. Need to end him and deal with the other two as well. If they decide to attack me together I'll have no choice but to use some of my points... Let's see what happens.'
Daichi evaded the punches coming his way and dodged all of them and got in close. He used the skills sprint and strong hit to increase his speed several fold. Daichi sent a fast, precise blow to its neck. Due to the sudden unexpected speed increase, the attack hit its mark. It completely crushed the ape’s throat and windpipe.
-842 HP
Not even wasting a fraction of a second Daichi took out a kunai and stabbed it deep into its skull through its eye.
-2321 HP

The giant ape fell backwards and hit the ground with a thud. A few seconds later it's remaining HP was down to zero and it dispersed into smoke.

Watching their brethren get killed the two apes were in a frenzy. They rushed at Daichi and punched his head and chest. Both attacks landed but the next second the person they attacked turned into a log.
Suddenly one of the apes had a sword pierced through its back.
-1025 HP
Enemy Negative Status - Wounded buff in effect.
A blue box appeared showing the damage he dealt.
Daichi stabbed the sword all the way to the hilt and let go. He jumped backwards and landed a few feet away. The ape tried to take the weapon out but failed each time and shrieked in pain. The last one went for Daichi.
Daichi created several clones while running towards the ape. The newly made clones distracted the simple minded animal and it attacked each one it saw. As it attacked and passed through several clones, suddenly it felt a punch striking the back of its head.
Daichi kept randomly appearing around the creature and attacking it. Ducking and weaving through the wild swings of the frenzied ape, Daichi kept on the assault. A slash from a kunai on its joints. A fast powerful punch to the head and legs.
It tried to jump away but Daichi didn't let go. He reduced its health little by little and when the ape had less than 700 HP he saw his chance. He took his kunai, plunged it deep into its neck and kept slashing it. He activated 'vital strike' and within a few seconds killed it.

Daichi looked at the last one stumbling around. Its health points, less than 1000. Daichi took the kunai and held it in a reverse grip. Rushed to the ape and slashed it all over.
After a few moments his last enemy here was also dead.

'So a battle is considered training huh… whatever. My stat growth has been stagnant for the last couple of months with just training… Good to know that high stakes fighting increases my stats.'
Once the skill buffs ran out Daichi was wheezing and gasping for air. His limbs started to slightly tremble. He slowly walked through the trees and settled down in between two rocks. It was like a small cave barely able to hold one person. Daichi sat down and took some much needed air.

'The only reason I wasn't seriously harmed and was able to kill those things was because of the skill buffs. That speed increase due to sprint skill and the strong punch skill are the only reasons I haven't lost much health. But it drained my stamina.
But even then I was only able to barely dodge them and I couldn't match their raw power head on. And something tells me there are animals much stronger here. If I could use chakra to increase my strength and speed it would help me but that technique requires at least water walking level chakra control.'
Daichi took a deep breath and looked at the map. For the moment he didn't see any red dots near the area. He started meditating to recuperate. He rested for almost 3 hours. He was once again at full strength when he resumed his exploration of the jungle.
It was dawn. The morning dews dripped from leaves and the first appearance of light in the sky before sunrise. As Daichi was walking through the jungle he suddenly sensed an Ill feeling.
[A new skill is created due to a particular action.]
[Through continuously sensing the danger intent of your enemies, the skill 'Danger Sense' has been created.]
Danger Sense - Passive(LV.1): A skill created from the natural survival instincts. The ability to sense the killing intent of your enemy in a certain range. The higher the skill the greater the range. Above level 60 this skill can detect even enemies who have masked their intent.
Effects: Current range - 10 meters.
Before he could even look at the map something small jumped from the midst of the tall grass leaves. It swiped its claw at his face. Daichi leaned to the side and used a kunai and slashed at his new enemy.
'Observe'
[LV.20] [Saber tooth cat]
HP: 1354 CP: 1025
[The saber tooth cats inhabit areas with dense vegetation. They are carnivorous animals with long, curved saber shaped canine teeth. They hunt during the dawn and in packs. Once they set their sites on a prey they never let it go until it's dead. It hunts by stalking its prey, followed by a sprint or a leap. They attack soft areas of the body such as the belly or throat where biting deep generates a killing blow.]
Daichi quickly read through the information presented. He cursed in his mind for not paying more attention to the Minimap. He was already armed with a dagger and a kunai.
Daichi could see several areas of the grass moving against the wind all around him. Indicating that he was surrounded. Daichi looked at the map from the corner of his eyes and he counted 12 red dots.
He used 'observe' and could see that all of them ranged from Level 20 to 23

'I get it!. I'm in danger. Stop spamming me…!!!' Daichi was slightly annoyed as the notifications appeared.
As if they were given an invisible signal, all the saber toothed cats started attacking together. Daichi quickly used substitution and disappeared. He threw several shuriken and controlled them with chakra threads.
His speed and accuracy had increased and all hit their marks killing their targets.

The jungle cats scattered and hid. Their hunting method was to take their prey by surprise. Daichi replaced the kunai with his short sword. Armed with a dagger and his tanto he waited for the enemies to come to him.
His goal was to learn and train to face multiple opponents at the same time. He focused and his senses were heightened. He tried to sense their chakra and thus their location.
As he was in the midst of trying to ascertain the enemy locations the attack began. The jungle cat in front went for his throat and the one behind him aimed at Daichi's neck. A couple of others rushed to bite down on his legs.
Daichi's senses told him exactly where each one was. He swiftly slashed all around him. He strengthened his legs and stomped on the ones that came from below. Daichi cut them down 2 at a time as both his hands almost became a blur.
Due to there being about a dozen attacking him, several got through his guard and bit and scratched his body. But Daichi made sure they were non vital areas. Daichi kept up his relentless attack and the jungle cats were just as ruthless.

Several notifications popped up but he ignored them all. Daichi slashed and severed the neck of one while he plunged his dagger deep into the belly of another. He threw the ones trying to tear his legs off him and when they came back he stomped on their heads crushing their skulls.
He kept slashing and hacking away and after several minutes no enemy was left. Daichi kept looking around and when he didn't see any, he looked at the map. No red dot appeared near him.
He had killed all of them and didn't even realize it.
Daichi was cut up, bleeding and in pain but he had a mad grin on his face. He didn't realize it at the time, but the thrill of this fight, the adrenaline coursing through his veins and the feeling of extreme danger… all of it excited him.
This dungeon… It had awakened Daichi's hunger for battle.
You have leveled up.
As he looked at the latest blue box his smile only widened.
