Free Web NovelChapter 95: mistake 14
"Well, I will immediately come back after I get the things you require."
Leaving behind a sentence, she looked all around and continued forward into the deeper part of the forest. The climate of the world was clearly spring now. A soft, gentle breeze brushed against her face, warming her heart.
Since her official entry into the gaming industry, her first kill at level 0 had always been against level 5 or higher monsters, something that left others dumbfounded. Only by doing this could her talent—one that could close the gap created by huge level differences—be seen. Moreover, this was the only way to avoid the crowded leveling zones and enjoy hunting alone in peace.
North Down – Level 5 Wild Wolf Territory
Wild Wolf (Level 5) freёwebnovel.com
HP: 170
Description: A brutal beast that lives in packs and attacks any human who gets too close.
At level 0, wearing nothing but crude beginner clothing with almost no stat boosts, and facing level 5 monsters alone—any ordinary VR player would consider this suicidal. But that only applied to ordinary players.
Since there were no other players in the area, wild wolves roamed freely. None of them had targeted her yet, as she was still outside their hostility range.
Taking a few steps forward, she carefully probed the aggression radius. Then, she picked up a stone and threw it toward the nearest wild wolf.

The stone hit the wolf’s head, and a blood-red damage number floated above it. The previously calm wild wolf’s eyes suddenly flashed with a bloody light as it turned to face her.
A long howl echoed through the forest. The wolf charged toward her, and moments later, two more wolves howled in response, quickly joining the first.
Only three? Seeing just three wolves approaching, she didn’t retreat from the wild wolf territory. Instead, her eyes narrowed, and she slowly raised her novice sword...
Whooosh!
Even when the violent wind rushed at her, she remained calm and motionless—until the first wolf’s sharp fangs were about to reach her waistline. Only then did she suddenly tilt her body out of the way, letting the wolf barely miss, brushing past her.
Dodging like this required perfect timing, precise body control, and extensive experience. It wasn’t as simple as it looked—few players could pull it off.
As the first wild wolf was still mid-air after its failed attack, another gust of wind rushed toward her—the second wolf had already lunged.
Without even looking, she remained calm. At the very last moment, she bent her upper body backward—almost at a ninety-degree angle—while raising her novice sword with her right hand...
Riiiip! -15!
The second wild wolf missed and landed in empty space, while her raised sword stabbed directly into its exposed belly, making a blood-red number float above it.
No matter which VR game, wolves always had high attack and speed but low defense. That was why she chose to hunt wolves first. If she had faced high-defense monsters like bears, although they would be easier to avoid, her attacks would barely scratch them.
The third wolf lunged immediately after the second, but she swiftly straightened her upper body and spun around—using her left leg as a pivot. The third wolf missed completely, rushing past her.
Taking advantage of the opening, she took a step forward and stabbed twice into the weak point of the falling second wolf. Two more blood-red damage numbers floated above it.
From the moment the wolves had started their coordinated attack, only two seconds had passed.
Yet, despite facing a joint attack from three wolves, she had only moved slightly to her left—and still stood in the exact same spot.
Not a single attack had landed on her.
Ishvani had counterattacked the instant she evaded the attacks of 3 wolves and only the second wolf was stabbed in the process.
Then they turned their body around awkwardly and pounced back at her again. This time all 3 of them attacked almost at the same time.
She narrowed her eyes and, with her fastest speed, she dashed forward, slipping through the narrow gap between the wolves. While moving, she struck the rear part of the second wolf’s body with her sword multiple times—two of the attacks landed successfully.
-13, -15, MISS.
After enduring five consecutive attacks, the second wolf had already lost nearly one-third of its HP. Finally feeling the pain, it howled and lunged at her again. But just as if she had predicted its every movement, she swiftly lowered her body and, pressing her right leg against the ground, slid forward in an extremely low position, covering nearly two meters in distance.
If any other players were present, they would be shocked—a Level 0 player, wearing only beginner equipment, fighting alone against three Level 5 monsters while landing dozens of consecutive attacks.
And yet, the three powerful wolves had not managed to touch her even once.
Even more unbelievable—she hadn’t used a single skill.
All Level 0 players had a Job and skills associated with it. Every other player had those—except Ishvani.
She had neither a Job nor any skills. She could only chop, hack, and stab with her novice sword...
As the three wolves attacked her, her body moved fluidly—almost like a ghostly shadow, effortlessly dodging. With precise timing, she swung her novice sword at just the right moments, causing the wolves to howl in pain.
After half a minute, the second wolf—the one she had been focusing on—let out its final howl and collapsed.
At the same time, a few glowing items, including a coin, appeared on the ground, radiating a faint light.
Only two wolves remained. Ishvani’s tense nerves relaxed slightly as her stance shifted from passive to active. Without hesitation, she rushed forward and slashed the wolf’s throat with her novice sword. If this were the real world, there was no doubt her sword would have severed the wolf’s head.
-12, -12, -14, -13, -12...
Even if an expert martial artist held nothing but a wooden stick, they could still defeat an ordinary person wielding a godly sharp weapon.
Ishvani’s innate attributes—reaction, perception, and focus—far exceeded those of other players. At this moment, these attributes were her greatest assets in this game world.
With a series of precise attacks from her not-so-powerful novice sword, another wolf howled in agony before collapsing.
A proud smile appeared on her face as she slowly stepped toward the last remaining wolf... That’s right—a single Level 0 player, wearing beginner equipment, was trampling on a Level 5 monster.
-15, -14... freeweɓnøvel.com
Finally, when the last wolf’s HP was nearly empty, she intentionally allowed its claw to strike her body.
-21!
A faint sting of pain spread from the point of impact, and she instinctively glanced above her head to check the damage number. Without wasting any effort, she finished off the wolf with her sword.
All three wild wolves had been defeated.
Letting out a small sigh, she scanned the area.
Aside from the first wolf, which had dropped a coin-like item, the other wolves had dropped nothing. Not even wolf eyes or fur—only lifeless corpses remained.
With a Luck stat of 0, she had minimal drop rates from monsters.
She crouch down to pick up the coins and was speechless to see the words marked above. Facing a huge danger and putting up a life-and-death battle and moreover killing a level 5 monster only got her a single copper coin.......if converted it into real currency then it is a single penny.
Her first earning in this Divine World entered her inventory.
After that, she turned toward the dead body of the wolf, and something suddenly came to mind... Wolf’s Eye. To harvest materials from a monster’s dead body, one needed the "Harvesting Skill". She had completely forgotten about this.
Based on her past experiences, these basic survival skills could be learned from the village head of the Nurshah Village.
Just as she prepared to make a round trip back to the novice village, she suddenly felt something familiar against her chest, causing her to freeze in place.
She slowly stretched her hand to her neck, tracing the outline of a familiar string.
This is...?
Gently pulling on the string, a black pendant emerged from beneath her novice clothes. It was the same pendant she had worn every single day, never once taking it off—not even in her sleep.
Holding it in her hand, she stared blankly at the unique pendant for a long time, a complex emotion rising within her.
"This is the only thing mother left for me... Why did it appear here!? This... isn’t the Divine World...?"
Earlier, because of her novice clothing, she hadn’t noticed it. But when she stood up, the pendant had stuck to her breast, sending a faint, cold sensation through her skin, making her suddenly aware of something extraordinary.
There was no difference between the pendant she wore in the real world and this one. Even the tiny holes, the unique engravings, and the soft glow of faint seven-colored light—nothing was different.
"What is going on!? Why did the real thing appear here?!"
