The journey to the Kyisis Kingdom's capital, Nagels, is long.
And along the way, Alex will pass through a number of villages and other cities.
Some of the paths are dangerous with monsters and bandits alike lurking in the dark.
But Alex didn't worry about any of that.
That's because his current stats are already comparable or even surpassed other ordinary Tier-1 players.
(Note: Tier for players, Star for monsters.)
Plus, there's still a lot of undistributed stats on his status panel right now. He can just put all of them to any of his stats to defeat any enemy with higher stats.
And, if ever he really encounters an enemy that he can't defeat, it's also not a problem, he can just go back to Earth with just a single thought and escape.
That is Alex's confidence in traveling in this dangerous world on his own.
…
3 hours after leaving Kupido Town, Alex saw a river and decided to take a rest there.
"Ferri, let's stop here first and take a rest. It's also lunchtime now anyway so we can eat there as well."
Hearing Alex's words, Ferri slowed down his speed until it came to a stop on the riverbank.
Alex jumped down from Ferri's back and walked to the edge of the river.
He crouched down and scooped some water with his hands and drank it.
Gulp!
"Puah~"
"Hoo! That was fresh and cool water!"
The water was clear and fresh that's why Alex was confident in drinking it.
He turned around and called Ferri, "Ferri, come here and drink some water as well. You've been running for 3 hours without stopping so it's good to drink water."
"Woof!"
Ferri obediently walked towards Alex and started drinking.
"While you're drinking, I'll go and prepare some food for the both of us."
Saying that, Alex stood up and took a few things from his inventory such as portable stove, meat, and a few seasonings.
These are all things bought by Alex before coming to Alter Dimension today.
Since he was planning to travel a long distance, he made sure that he stocked up on some necessary items in his inventory.
This is because Alex doesn't plan to go back on Earth while he is traveling.
This is so that he can experience what it's like to travel on this world.
So it's purely just for fun.
Anyway, Alex started preparing their food while enjoying the cool breeze from the riverbank.
Soon, Alex finished cooking and handed a huge piece of meat to Ferri.
"Here, that's your portion."
Ferri coquettishly rubbed his head on Alex before wolfing down the good given by Alex.
Seeing that, Alex also started eating his lunch slowly.
Soon, the two finished eating their food and started relaxing.
"Haa~ that was such a good meal, right Ferri?"
"Woof!"
Even Ferri showed his approval of Alex's cooking.
Alex closes his eyes for a while.
Crack!
Suddenly, a sound of wood breaking sounded not far away.
Alex immediately sat up and turned his head in that direction.
There, Alex saw a monster with green skin and pointy ears.
From the looks of it, it looks very similar to a goblin.
However, this monster is 2 meters tall with a buff physique unlike those short and skinny goblins.
Seeing that, Alex frowned, "A Hobgoblin?"
That's right, the monster in front of Alex is a hobgoblin, the advanced version of a goblin.
This is what happens when a goblin turns into a 1-star monster.
When Alex saw the hobgoblin, it also saw him and Ferri.
It opened its mouth and roared at them.
Roar!
Alex stood up while Ferri also started glaring at the hobgoblin.
Alex used [Inspect] on the hobgoblin and saw its stats.
[Name: Hobgoblin]
[Level: 37 (1-Star)]
[Strength:134] | [Constitution:138] | [Intelligence:62] | [Agility:106]
…
After looking at its stats, Alex finally relaxed.
"I thought it was something, it seems like with my stats, 1-star monsters don't really pose any threat to me."
Saying that, Alex calmly approached the hobgoblin with an indifferent face.
When the hobgoblin saw that, it grew furious.
He can see from Alex's body language that the human in front of him doesn't really take him seriously.
So, full of anger it roared loudly before rushing towards Alex.
Its speed was a lot faster and if a normal level 25 player is the one facing it, that player would have died before it even understood what happened to him.
Unfortunately for this hobgoblin, he attacked the wrong person today.
When the hobgoblin got near him, Alex slowly raised his hand and formed it into a first.
Without any fanciful movements, Alex punched the monster in front of him.
The hobgoblin didn't take Alex's punch seriously because it looked weak and ordinary.
But its expression immediately changed when Alex's fist finally connected with its body.
With a shocked and pained look, the hobgoblin suddenly flew back like a kite with a broken string.
Only then did it understand, that punch was indeed an ordinary one.
However, the person who threw it actually contained a lot of power inside his body!
Now, the hobgoblin can only die full of regrets in its heart.
[You killed a 1-Star Level 37 Hobgoblin, +37,000 experience points.]
[The system has detected that you have reached the maximum level for your current Tier, please immediately go through class advancement.]
[Experience points will be temporarily stored in the system.]
Alex didn't pay much attention to the system notification.
He already expected it so he wasn't surprised.
Since he can get it after he finishes the Trial Tower, Alex doesn't need to worry about his experience points being wasted.
But still, Alex felt a little urgent in his heart.
Shaking his head, Alex walked towards the hobgoblin's corpse and used [Sacrifice] on it as usual.
[You 'Sacrificed' a 1-Star Monster, you gained 10 attribute points.]
pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ After finishing that, Ferri was already beside him.
Since he's no longer in the mood to relax, Alex decided to continue his journey.
"Let's go, Ferri!"
