Chapter 11: Next Course Of Action
"Grrraaa!"
BOOM!
The black bear roared and smashed its deadly claws on the charging player, supreme turned his whole body sideways and with his enhance speed, he quickly got behind the bear and gave a powerful slash with his dagger.
"Grrraaa!"
The bear let out a painful growled and turned around, without a second it opened its jaw and snapped down on the human.
Supreme swiftly leaped back and stared at the bear a little surprise.
{Damage deliver: -300 HP}
{Targeted target: 700/ 1,000}
'A level 4 monster with 1,000 health points, how is that even possible?!'
Supreme thought, remembering the scavenger wolves which only have 200 health points, and they are LV 2 monsters, while a LV 4 black bear have a total of 1,000.
Supreme shook his head with a solemn expression. "This is really fucked-up!"
{Why do you like cussing?} The system asked.
He didn't reply the system, but fixed his eyes on the black bear, which had suddenly stood straight on its hind legs.
"This is getting fun"
"Grraaaa!!"
The bear let out an angry roar and lunged forward on all fours, moving with a terrifying speed.
"I can't let a common LV 4 monster stop me."
Supreme lunged forward meeting the charging bear. But something unexpected happened.
The moment he got ten feet away from the bear it suddenly increased its speed and lunched, almost like shooting through the air arriving in front him in seconds.
"What the...?"
BAM!
The bear's front claws connected to his chest, He spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Supreme managed to stabilized himself in midair and landed on his right knee.
"That was surprising."
"Forty Hp gone?" He muttered a little shocked.
{Don't think because you have the cheating system you can underestimate any monster, you are just lucky with that attack. If that it's was connected with your heart or Head, you will be his dinner instead.}
"Thanks for the pep talk."
{That is not a pep talk, I think you really are a dumbass.}
Supreme pretended not hearing that and stood up slowly.
"You are right on one thing. I thought I am the God in the game with all my cheats, but I forgot one thing."
"Even those with cheats can till loss a game being overly careless, so thanks for that."
He stood up and sheathed his dagger, planning on using only his fists.
'Activate all my cheats, is time to get serious.'
{As You wish host.}
{HP restored.}
The next moment his body was filled with energy, and he shot forward with a sonic boom, cracking the ground behind.
"Grrraaa!!"
The bear was not giving up, and it also charged toward the human.
"Die you son of a bitch!!!"
Supreme yelled and delivered a powerful punch on the head of the bear, In between its eyes.
BANG!!
"Grraaa!!!!"
The bear flew back and crashed on a big boulder, creating spiderweb cracks on it.
{Damage delivered: -500.}
{Targeted target: 200/ 1,000.}
'No way..., It's still alive after that attack?!'
The bear was still standing, shakily, but still standing.
"I just have to finish you off" supreme said as he prepared for his final attack.
Out of nowhere a figure leaped on the bear and struck its head with a dagger, giving the last blow. The bear finally collapsed on the ground dead.
'What the butt?!' Supreme growled Inwardly.
AI's voice then sounded in the two players' head, well different word for both of them.
Poisonous Queen:
Supreme:
That last statement almost drove Supreme insane.
'What the fuck!!! I am the one who fought it, while she just stole my kill!!' Supreme was going crazy.
"Ahh! That was intense!" Poisonous Queen said with a smile, as she jumped down the bear's carcass.
'Intense!! You fucking stole my kill!'
He roared inwardly but smiled at her "You are good, you finished it off after waiting for it to get to the weakened state." He said with sarcasm.
Poisonous Queen surely heard the meaning behind his word and said with a smile that wasn't really a smile "Won't you give me that kill? Or, don't you love me anymore?"
'Love you my foot! I was really stupid to fall for a snake like you.' Supreme thought, but smiled.
"What are you saying, of course I love you. Ok, from now on, you will be fighting all the monsters we meet on the way."
"What?! No way, why will you let me do that?!" She yelled with a frown.
"Huh? Isn't that what you want?" He asked with a tilt of his head, feigning a confused expression.
"No, you will be doing the fighting"
"--Then you have to carry the bag"
After thinking for a moment, Poisonous Queen nodded, "fine, that is what teammates are for."
'Is she serious?! "What teammates are for?!" You can't even assist in a fight, only to carry harmless load, and you call yourself a teammate.' He thought and said:
"Good, now let get this bear ready, we must cook the fresh meat now, before it get dark"
"And why is that?" Poisonous Queen asked staring at him.
Supreme shook his head and crouched down beside the bear, He unsheathed his dagger.
"So we wouldn't alert monsters and other players, Do you know how a bonfire will look after everywhere got dark?"
"No" Poisonous Queen answered in mild confusion, finding a dry place to sit down. She started wiping the blood stains off her dagger.
"It will look like a bright beacon which only job Is to attract dangers to us." Supreme said and started tearing open the bear, starting from its lower belly.
Poisonous Queen kept quiet and watched him.

[NIGHT TIME.]
The two were currently sitting on the hill, eating roasted bear and wolf meat. Even though there was no salt or spices added, the two of them have to manage it.
When you got hungry you have to do with what you see, Supreme wasn't worried about food because of his cheat, so he ate a little and dried the rest on the grass bag. So next time they won't have to set a fire.
After the two have had their dinner, Poisonous Queen looked at supreme.
"What is it?" He asked, not facing her. He was currently checking on the dried roasted meat.
"What is the plan?" She asked.
"We'll think about that tomorrow" He replied calmly, and sat back down, still not facing her.
Poisonous Queen looked at the horizon with a frown, she could clearly see the raging flames, from the top of the hill.
"Are we safe from that?"
Supreme followed her gaze and nodded. "Yes"
"Ok. Good night, wake me when it's time to move." Poisonous Queen said as she lied down on the ground., she just have to trust him, because she still need him.
"Good night" Supreme muttered in a low voice.
The reason he hadn't killed her was because he wanted to see if she will follow the same path, and try to kill him, as she did in his previous life.
Supreme listened to her calm breathing, which shown she had fallen asleep.
'Now let check the map'
With A thought, a holographic map of the island appeared in front of him, which only him could see. With A thought, the map showed him different dots, with different colors, the ones which got his attention, was a purple dot and ten bright glowing red. But the most troublesome one is the black ominous dot, which have the sign of a black skull.
'Is this a monster?' He thought inwardly.
{Monster. known as; The Calamity. Boss of the game.}
{NOTE: Each game has a Boss, defeat the Boss and win the game.}
The system gave him a simple answer.
'Calamity? Boss of the game? That will be troublesome, what Level is this thing?'
{Host need to face the monster to know}
'Are you kidding me?! That thing is the boss! He might be stronger than a level Ten monster!' Supreme yelled to the system.
Moment next the black skull on the map started moving at a rapid pace, in a blink of an eye it has moved 200 miles.
'What the? How can it be so fast!' He stared at the map with widened eyes. The monster was running away from the wall of flames, heading towards the center of the island where the ten LV 10 monsters are currently sitting.
"What's in the center of this island?, that everyone is trying to reach." Supreme muttered in a low voice as he zoomed in on the map.
In the center of the island stood a magnificent building.
'Is that a castle or a temple?' Supreme was little dumbfounded. 'It means something valuable is in this building, system can you show me in interior of the building?'
{Host need to enter the building to know.}
'Can't you help with anything?' Supreme asked with a frown.
{I can tell you what is inside.}
'What a lovely system you are, can you please tell me.'
{Weapon skin.}
He remained silent for a while, waiting for the system to give a full detail about the skin, but the system remained silent.
'Is that all?'
{Were You expecting more?} The system asked back.
'I thought you will give me an explanation.'
{Claim The weapon skin, and you will know the detail.}
'What a fuck-up system.'
{"....."}
'We will head there tomorrow.' Supreme decided, closing the map.
___
Poisonous Queen was woken up with the sound of heavy breathing, she sat up slowly and rubbed both her eyes with the back of her hands. After getting back her vision she looked at the young man who was busy doing pushups in front of her.
'He looks so cool.'
She thought.
"Good morning" Supreme muttered, stood up, and walked towards her.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked.
"Yes, but I am a little thirsty."
"We will find water on the way, let go" He packed up the dried roasted meats.
"Where are we going?" Poisonous Queen asked standing up.
"To the center of the island."

Much love.
