A few hours in, and trouble was in my way. Monsters with a superior sense of smell could already sense where I was at.
Their power was nothing to scoff at. I doubt anyone from our world could hold a candle to this werewolf that I was up against.
Luckily there was only one enemy in front if I could somehow distract the monsters. I would be safe for the time being.
In the meanwhile, I tried to distance myself from the wolf. But with the speed it was coming at, it was unlikely that I would be able to run it out.
After being chased by the monster for ten minutes, a monster with the same caliber attacked the unsuspecting wolf.
And what had attacked was a giant red salamander. The salamander had landed a critical hit with a fire breath, resulting in the wolf being injured.
Even if I wasn't being chased anymore, an opportunity had risen. I could run away and never meet these monsters again or wait until one of them dies and finish the remaining one.
From what I had observed, the salamander wasn't aware of my presence. It had only located the wolf attacks when I was being chased around. And with the wolf's injury, the chances of the salamander winning were higher.
The battle between the two monsters was overpowering. If I stepped in too close, I would be flung around.
Being helpless was a situation no one wanted to be in. It has been a while since I was this helpless. I didn't expect so much trouble to come my way. Next time I return to Earth, I will show the people who plotted my death what pain really is.
Finishing my internal monologue, I focused back on the fight. Injuries on both monsters started to appear the more they fought.
Even when the werewolf was burnt earlier, it was still as strong as ever. At this rate, the werewolf would win and would probably attack me.
Never in my life would I have expected to heal a monster. The salamander may have sensed my magic, but with me assisting it, it fired a more substantial fire than its previous attack. Sensing the urgency to dodge, the werewolf did so with its left arm being scorched.
With another blow, the werewolf's left arm was not unusable. Being at a disadvantage, the werewolf tried to retreat in a hurry.
But before, it could do so, even with its superior speed. The fire salamander launched a ray of fire blast, landing a direct blow. I doubt anyone from Earth other than Charles could survive that.
I better run. I can't gain any materials from a burnt body. Before the salamander attacked me, I immediately escaped.
Looking at the sky, I could see the night was about to come. Camping in the forest didn't seem appealing when I could be attacked anytime. Next time I get something, I should have a monster repellent.

Night had dawned, and monsters that were active during the night had appeared. It would take me five days to get tired if I were awake constantly.
Before I went to sleep, I would observe the possible threats at night. I didn't want to be attacked during the night. There would be no way for me to defend myself when I was asleep.
Looking at the new monsters appearing, I could see some predators among the amiss. One monster had especially caught my attention.
It was a black panther that stared directly into my eyes. The panther could still see through me, even with all the artifacts in my hand.
For once, the monster staring at me didn't attack. Once it was time, the panther had left, leaving behind a trail.

Four days passed, and I finally found a different hub. I had to cross a forest all day and night and walk around a mountain.
There was danger everywhere, leaving me no time to rest. I could only pray that the hub I entered could be somewhat safe.
Other than the time I spent my days with Charles, when have I ever been this exhausted? Considering how exhausted I was, my brain wouldn't let me think about it.
Looking at the hub, I could say the state was much better than the previous one I was at. While it was old-fashioned, the presence around the city was much more than the ghost town than the other hub.
Once I had arrived at the entrance, I was fairly surprised to see how lax the guards were. They didn't question me and allowed me in without process. It was weird, but I couldn't question why they let me in because I was tired.
Before I could do anything else, I had to search for a place to stay. Even if I told myself, I could be awake for five days, using all my energy didn't help.
Around the town were people from various races. Compared to Earth, just one of these people would be considered rare, but now they are everywhere.
It didn't take long before I could find a place to stay.
"How long would it cost to book a room for a week?"
After a week, I planned to return to Earth. Charles would notice that I was missing and would help with the situation. To ensure my safety, I would need at least a week to be in the clear.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "Five hub token would be a week."
I had 1500 hub tokens. During the first month, I received 750; during my time with Charles, I earned another 750.
As someone new to this place, I couldn't tell their actual values. My state of mind also didn't help with how sleep-deprived I was.
[Do you accept giving your five hub tokens to Mairus?]
The system's screen opened, asking if I wanted to trade those tokens to the innkeeper. I accepted the system's transaction without any questions. The keys to the room were handed, and going to the room, I slept.
