In one of the mountains. A young man with black hair was seen sitting while looking at the air in front of him. His winter clothing had visible bloodstains, and some part of his clothing has received damage— it tells a lot what this young man had to suffer during his stay in Frozen Island.
The forest was calm— it was like every Beast was hiding, but not because of the young man… Because… There is someone who they cannot afford to offend.
Ichiro looked at the Interface in front of him.
[0;00.05]
5 seconds remain before the Quest is over.
There was another screen next to it.
[Killed: 56/50]
He could barely find any more Mutated Beasts, which made him disappointed and worried.
Disappointed because he doubts that bonus rewards are now any good, worried because he feels like something is very wrong about this island.
He was sitting on top of one of the smaller mountains which gave him a good view of the forest. He can see from far away if someone is approaching his place.
*Ding* *Ding*
[Quest Over!]
[Quest Completed!]

[Kill at least 50 Mutated Beasts]
[Rewards: 5000 XP – 100 Stat Points – 25000 Coins]

[Time Limit: 2 Weeks – Will start once Host entered the Frozen Island]
[Killed: 56/50]
[Bonus Rewards: 60 Stat Points – Beast Detector!]
"Hmm, Beast Detector?" Ichiro thought that it might be something that allows him to find Mutated Beasts— if that was the case, then it would be extremely useful.
A small black box appeared on his hand, and it started instantly beeping and pointing north.
He put it on Inventory and looked at his Stat Points.
"60 from Bonus… I could have got so much more." Ichiro wryly smiled, but he doubts that he could have changed the results at all.
In the last hour, he ran like possessed around the forest but found no one.
His thoughts were about the man and the young woman he saw the other day.
They appeared like ghosts and disappeared like ghosts as well.
He doubts that Peter knew that they were here.
"Stats," Ichiro said, and his familiar Interface appeared in front of him.

Ichiro has learned his weaknesses during his stay in Frozen Island, and he knows that his strength is lacking.
That's why he made very unexpected move.
[Strength: 231 -> 300]
He put 69 points on the Stats, maxing it!
He tried to add more but couldn't.
Now, he knows for certain that 300 Stats is the Martial Commander threshold.
[SP: 160 -> 91]
Next, he put Stats on Agility.
[Agility: 244 -> 280]
[SP: 91 -> 55]
Next he assigned more Stats on Stamina.
[Stamina: 211 -> 250]
[SP: 55 -> 16]
Lastly, he put the remaining 16 on Vitality.
[Vitality: 230 -> 246]
Now his Stats looked completely different, and Ichiro has reached Peak Martial Captain rank!

Ichiro looked pleased.
But he wasn't planning to leave Forest Island just yet.
He came here in hopes of reaching Martial Commander. He hasn't given up yet.
Ichiro can feel that there is an entity that could push him to that level, but it could be extremely dangerous.
He took one of his swords from Inventory, and it was at breaking point.
'I can't use this…' He put it back on the Inventory and grabbed the Beast Detector. He left the mountain and started walking towards the direction where the Beast Detector beeped.
