Loading... please wait.

Noah was lying on the forest ground while heavily breathing. In his foolish attempt to escape the pain he tried to escape from mind space, but it was a useless move, as pain followed him here as well.

"Those bastards…They almost killed me" Said Noah taking heavy breaths.

*Their actions were within the rules of the comment section. In my logical opinion the fault lye with this user*

"Yeah, yeah, I brought this upon myself. But how was I supposed to know? They are too vicious to beat me this way knowing I am a newbie and did not know the rules yet." Said Noah.

"Anyways it seems I need to get to the point with one post, because I might need to wait for some time before someone else comments after me to not make my posts into "Spam" as they call it." He said analyzing the problem.

*May I share an observation?* Asked system

"Go on"

*In the whole time of observation of CS conversations, the system has not seen large text comments. Although the system window allows you to write a huge text with many symbols. None of the commenters ever posted a comment larger than 2 or 3 sentences. In my analysis, posting a big text may break some other rule we don't know and incur the anger of the community once again.* Said System.

"Good job. You may be absolutely right. So I need to be short on words and get to the point in the most efficient way." Noah scratched his chin while thinking.

"Alright let's go back." He sais some a few moments later as if coming up with an idea.

After appearing in the dark space once again Noah looked at the CS screen and added new post

/How to beat a stronger enemy?/

"Short and efficient! I think this should work." Said Noah while waiting for people to reply.

Speaking of beating, I think it's time… Answered someone to his comment with a broken phrase and added a picture as if it was supposed to finish his words.

"Huh, what does he mean with this picture of a time dial, a piece of raw meat and a large polished stick?" Asked Noah in confusion.

Well as the saying goes: If you can't beat it, fuck it. Replied the next person.

"What the hell? We are talking about monster here you perverted freak" Exclaimed Noah flabbergasted at the crazy idea.

You have to beat the motherfucker with another motherfucker. Replied a third person while adding a picture of a man holding another man by the leg and above his head. From the looks of it he was swinging that man to hit other people with him.

"The fuck? Can't you people be a little bit more seriou…." Started to say Noah.

*Conditions have been met. Creating new skill*

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?" Exclaimed Noah baffled that his system actually took it serious.

*Skill created: Stronger companion*

*Would you like to use the skill*

"Yes?" Answered Noah unsure whether he does the right thing agreeing to it.

Noah suddenly returned to the real world and some kind of energy flowed out of him and flew to the dead wolf body lying on the ground nearby. After a few moments the body of a wolf shuddered and slowly the dead wolf stood up and looked at Noah.

 Noah noticed that although the wolf was moving, its eyes remained dead empty and lifeless inside as if it was just a puppet.

"Holy crap! Am I a necromancer now?" Exclaimed Noah in surprise.

/Open Skill List/ willed Noah and immediately saw a list of all his skills.

He mentally pointed at the new skill and a detailed information window popped up in front of his eyes.

//Skill: Stronger companion//

//If the right conditions are met, give the user one companion that is stronger than him. Companion will disappear when user will become equally strong or stronger than that companion//

"Somehow the details are strange. So it's not specifically making undead? There are other ways to make a companion? And what's with the "If conditions are met" sentence? What are the conditions? How do I know if they are met?" Asked Noah aloud, feeling confused from the skill description.

*System lacks information to give a definite answer. However it seems that having a dead body of a stronger monster is one of these condition* Answered System deciding that those question were directed to it.

"Overall this feels like another strange skill." Said Noah with another heavy sigh.

"Well, fine. Now that I have this strong monster with me, surviving will be a lot easier and I can finally kill some monster on my own." Said Noah, then stopped as if an idea came to his mind.

"Oh! Now that I mentioned it, this would be my very first real monster hunt. Yesterday I barely did anything with that asshole. He only let me kill a few bunny monsters and vicious squirrels that he beat half to death, even for normal people they barely give any evolutionary energy that we need for skill upgrades and growth." Muttered Noah with excitement happy at his own drastic change.

"This time I will gain some real prey and make myself stronger. It's time for me to rise from the bottom!"

Noah felt excited. His whole life he could not use his system. And while people upgraded their skill tree and gained new skills and powers, he remained at the very bottom. He was the target for ridicule. But now this would change. He finally had some skills that would help him grow. Now he would be able to rise just like everyone and cease the ridicule of the people around him.

"Alright it's finally time to beat us some…..wait." Said Noah stopping half way as some realization dawned on him.

"Now that I said it," He muttered rubbing his chin. "It finally dawned on me. That picture was with a time dial, meat and stick, it was a rebus. Time, meat and stick. Time to beat meat? That's what he meant. That phrase sounds strong."

"ALRIGHT TIME TO BEAT SOME MEAT!"
