Chapter 8: Green bar

Glistening beads of sweat was trailing on his forehead. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and hardened his muscle to endure the pain that was coming.

Zing zing zing!

Uuuughh!

Three consecutive stabs that almost arrived at the same time had made him cried out in pain.

He knew their stabs hit him. Yeman believed he would die at any moment. He could feel the pain from his stomach, left waist, and on his back.

He furrowed his brows, and waited for his end. But seconds later, he wasn't dead. He didn't have heavy a breathing as well. Everything was normal, except for the pain he felt.

He slowly opened his left eye, and saw the skeptical faces of the monsters while staring at their blades with doubts.

"!!"

"!!"

"!!"

Their daggers were not able to penetrate deeply on his skin.

'I-I'm alive?' he exclaimed.

He noticed something in his vision, a blinking green bar.

In the green bar could be seen numbers, it shows 170/200.

'Is this my health bar?' He unconsciously asked himself.

But he didn't have time to be in a daze.

Yeman didn't know what was happening or how it happened. But, he was alive! Without a second thought, he hastily leaped to his right to avoid the next pincer attack.

After he successfully leaped, he pointed the tip of his spear at the [Ratman] with the lowest HP.

The exclamation points appeared over their heads when they noticed the human enemy leaped.

Before they could chase him, Yeman hurriedly stabbed the [Ratman] with lowest HP. Out of reflex, the [Ratman] jolted to its right to avoid the incoming spear.

However, Thump!

Keek!!

Eek!!

It collided to the other [Ratman] on its right and nowhere to go.

Zing!

-34%

A red text followed after the spear-tip hit the [Ratman's] stomach.

<Level1 Ratmen killed>

After the notification that he killed the monster, a bright green object like energy goes towards him and was absorbs by his body.

+50% Exp

Just like before, he received notification of receiving experience points.

<Level Up>

And again, he felt stronger after leveled up. Yeman knew his stats went up. Not only that, his HP became full again and raised its value. Now on the green bar displayed the number 300/300.

After killing the [Ratman], Yeman pulled the spear and prompted a step back.

The two left [Ratmen] came chasing after him. The one on the left leaped in the air to shorten their distance. And the one at his right dashed forward while pointing the tip of a dagger to him.

But, Yeman with his new speed was much faster than the level 1 [Ratman].

He kicked the ground to accumulate force and skid to his left.

The two [Ratmen] arrived at Yeman's suppose position in the past second. But, they're too late, their target already at their right side.

With a smirk on his face, he swung his spear horizontally to the [Ratman] who recently leaped. But, before the spear hit the [Ratman's] jaw, Yeman suddenly felt a chill and stopped his attack.

Shing!

Shing!

A shadow with 2 gleaming daggers rapidly passed through and severed the monster's heads.
