Solo Eating to Overpowered

Episode 46

“There are degrees of crazy heat.”

There is no such thing as a fire!

Hot temperatures and extreme humidity. From the very beginning of the primeval forest, X felt his body going limp. I felt like I wanted to run away from this fire at any moment.

“Gasp, now I understand why users can’t even see their noses sticking out.”

There were still users in the forest of old trees. But there really wasn’t a single human shadow in the primeval forest. Actually, no fool would move around and hunt in a place like this sauna.

But X is a monster born of greed!

“I need to take care of myself as quickly as possible.”

If it was a heavenly dish, it could move easily even in this terrible heat. X led his flaccid body through the virgin forest.

Sigh!

“It’s a surprise.”

As I said, the primeval forest was a very dangerous place. As soon as X touched the plant, a snake that had been disguised showed its teeth.

Chameleon Snake specializes in camouflage!

The moment today’s lunch menu is decided.

Scum! X immediately swung his sword.

[Fatal blow!]

Chameleon Snake’s level is 200! There are not many users who can kill such a Chameleon Snake in one go. However, X caught Chameleon Snake with one basic attack.

X smiled, wiping away the sweat pouring down his face.

“Effort and skill never betray.”

Steady effort!

Accurate Swing (51%)

Accurate Thrust (48%)

Accurate Bowstring (33%)

Currently, X has raised the proficiency of all general skills that are difficult to raise to around 50%. The proficiency bonus that can be received when fighting an opponent of a higher level than oneself was a great help.

‘It definitely seems like the power changes the moment it exceeds 50%.’

Although there was no new effect in the skill description, X could feel it.

When you swing the sword, it feels like the sword and your body become one.

X muttered as he gathered up his loot.

“What kind of effect will I see if I master this?”

It may be a long way off, but I am looking forward to it from now on.

X checked the items he had acquired. Chameleon snake leather and rare-grade chameleon snake meat that increase your stealth skill! Beating the heat was the top priority, so X settled down right away.

Even before it was ready, they used a heavenly recipe.

‘I still have a long way to go.’

You can see as much as you know.

When I was a beginner and didn’t know anything, I ignored the gourmet king’s skills. However, now that he had some knowledge of cooking, his skills as a gourmet king seemed to be at a far higher level.

“It is complete.”

Soon the dish was completed. Snake meat steak with sliced vegetables and sauce made with juice! X put a snake meat steak in his mouth.

[Heavenly taste buds have discovered the hidden flavor of ‘Chameleon Snake Steak’!]

[Chameleon Snake’s versatility is absorbed into your body!]

[The penalty you receive from the natural environment is reduced for 24 hours!]

[24 Resistance to all attributes increases significantly for a period of time!]

[Movement speed and basic stealth ability increase significantly for 24 hours!]

“Tsk tsk, you’ve definitely improved.”

Cooking for the opposite sex!

The last time I made a heavenly dish using the meat of a spirit deer, it felt like I had broken the wall that had been blocked. Now, he was the shadow of a gourmet king who created dishes of the opposite sex at will.

“Whew, I think I’ll finally be able to live a bit.”

A neat bowl.

X stood up with a lighter body. Thanks to the effects of the Chameleon Snake Steak, moving around in the hellish virgin forest has become very comfortable. Moreover, the hiding ability has increased significantly!

‘It’s become easier to eat raw food.’

Shh. X, holding his breath, hid himself in the thick bushes.

Right in front of me was Junioroth, a level 210 small dinosaur-type monster.

Gurgling!

The guy eating the carcasses of dead animals was wary of his surroundings. However, I couldn’t find X, whose hiding ability had greatly increased, and poof! In the end, he was allowed to be fatally wounded by X’s arrow.

‘When receiving the buff effect, you should actively use the bow.’

Of all the skills, X had the lowest proficiency with the bow. To be honest, the usability of the bow has decreased a lot now that there is a dancing stem. However, the basics are always important!

‘If you post it when you have the chance, you won’t regret it!’

People don’t know how things will turn out. You never know when you’ll get a good bow again, right? In preparation for that time, X wanted to properly hone his underused skills.

Even if the efficiency is low or the speed is slow, I will do everything!

“This is my third bird!”

X smiled greedily through the bushes.

Hard work in the primeval forest!

Anyone who knows anything about Fate will immediately ask if he is crazy. Terrible weather and tired monsters! Because the primeval forest was a place no different from hell.

However, there was a man who had been toiling here for four days.

The man X’s face was soft and fluffy.

“Haha, these guys all ran away?”

An object of fear!

These guys maintain their fierce primal habits of eating and being eaten!

Those guys were looking at X and turning their backs. X’s current level is 151.

“Well, my spirit is already close to 500.”

The level of passion with all bonus points invested was close to 500.

Even if there was a difference of more than 50 levels, X’s spirit truly created tremendous power.

Thing! Chasing a monster with just your eyes was no task.

Also, X was not the only object of fear for the monsters in the primeval forest.

“Kyuuuu!”

A dragon flying in the sky of a primeval forest!

The large Archaeopteryx was no match for the hatchling dragon Yongyongi. Yongyong, who drove out Archeopteryx and became the master of the primeval forest sky, landed on X’s shoulder.

“Isn’t it hot? “Do you want to come in?”

“Kyuu….”

“Okay, if you had a good time, you should rest. “Summon cancelled.”

The primeval forest may have been hell to others, but to these two it was nothing more than a playground. After sending Yongyong in, X, who was left alone, checked his experience level.

“Hmm, my experience level is still increasing steadily…”

X was a level 20 player who raised his level by over 20 in four days.

Nevertheless, the appropriate level for the primeval forest was over level 200. Because he was free from experience penalty due to his defeat, he was able to level up quickly even if he continued hunting in the primeval forest.

“You picked up and ate everything, right?”

However, I was not satisfied with the X dictionary. In fact, X chewed, tore, tasted, and enjoyed the plants and animals that existed in the primeval forest. Thanks to this, the stats also increased significantly.

Vitality: 52000 / 52000

Mana: 23000 / 23000

Strength: 1341 / Dexterity: 651

Intelligence: 660 / Patience: 80

Passion: 481

X looked at the stat window and was worried.

‘Should I just move it?’

A creeping desire arose.

Various ecosystems exist beneath volcanoes. There were users in other hunting grounds, so it was not possible to monopolize like in the primeval forest. Still, a new monster appeared.

New monsters mean new ingredients!

Because they said that every time you take over a hunting ground, your stats can be doubled.

After thinking about it, X made a decision.

“Let’s just go as far as Tyrus.”

Tyrus, the named monster of the primeval forest!

Named monsters drop high quality items.

Of course, the probability of dropping it was significantly higher. But X had a golden treasure.

“You can’t skip the main course.”

Thanks to this, Tirus was a course that could never be missed, no matter how new the ingredients were.

puck! Burbubbuk! X went deep into the primeval forest, defeating the monsters he saw.

‘It’s a pretty big guy, so it’ll definitely stand out, right?’

It took half a day to move forward to find Tyrus.

Suddenly, busy movement was seen at the edge of X’s field of vision.

‘What are they, users?’

A human figure glimpsed through the bushes! Moreover, the number seemed quite large.

But there would be no reason for users to be deep in the primeval forest…

X, who was thinking, widened his eyes.

‘Have you discovered a dungeon?!’

Dungeons hidden throughout the field!

There was a good possibility that a dungeon was created in the primeval forest. So what does X have to do? The answer was simple. X approached with a grin on his lips.

‘Let’s see an opportunity and invade!’

In the end, whoever enters and clears the dungeon first is the winner.

Dungeon monopoly by large guilds?

Even though it is not established by law, a monopoly is a monopoly. There were not many people who looked favorably on the dungeon monopoly of large guilds. At best, there will be only guild members who benefit from the monopoly. Everyone is just unable to come forward for fear of retaliation from the big guilds.

However, there was no reason for X to be afraid of large guilds.

The hiding effect is maintained.

X approached the popular person and was immediately startled.

‘…Wait a minute, you’re not a user, are you?’

Leather clothes that cover only important parts.

Mud smeared on the face.

And even the crude weapons he holds in his hands!

No matter how you look at it, doesn’t that look like an indigenous person? The perceived popularity was not that of the user, but that of the indigenous people living in the primeval forest.

The dream of a dungeon disappeared like a bubble!

A disappointed X quickly shook his head.

‘This is not the time.’

Still, it is an encounter with an NPC. Since they live in a primeval forest, there is a possibility that they may have valuable information. However, X did not hastily step forward.

‘Because I don’t know how it will turn out.’

Will you show a hostile attitude or a friendly attitude?

Even though X was more confident than anyone else when it came to flattering NPCs, it was his first time dealing with natives. Therefore, observation was necessary.

As I watched with bated breath, I could hear their conversation.

“Today must be successful. “If things continue like this, our home is in danger.”

“Of course. “We are the brave warriors of the Sinhar tribe.”

“But honestly… I’m not confident.”

“Don’t sound weak.”

Be a warrior.

X, who was listening to the story attentively, nodded. The natives gathered together appeared to be warriors, especially the Sinhar tribe. Because they were all men with strong physiques.

‘Contrary to what they said, everyone was scared.’

He may seem brave, but the enemy right in front of him seems to be strong.

A man who appeared to be the leader of the warriors spoke softly.

“I can’t believe this happened as soon as he left. It seems we Sinhars are unlucky. Well, the place I was born in is also a fiery hell…”

“I can hear everything, Captain.”

“I’m sorry my true feelings came out.”

Despite their appearance, the Sinhar warriors seemed to have a pure side.

He can understand the words, doesn’t look ignorant, and just happens to need help!

X smiled.

‘Maybe there will be a harvest?’

Let’s take the opportunity and talk to him.

Having made up his mind, X held his breath again and overheard the warriors’ conversation. The right opportunity came not too far away. The energized warriors raised their weapons and spoke.

“Anyway, I must successfully hunt today!”

“Let’s do our best and not be afraid of death!”

“If you are a warrior of Sinhar, Tyrus is nothing!”

Tyrus?

The reason why the brave Sinhar warriors trembled with fear.

Even if you are afraid, the powerful enemy that you must hunt is the named monster Tyrus.

‘Is this the way to catch Tyrus, complete the quest, and get a reward?’

Kill three birds with one stone! There was no way X would miss this opportunity.

Slap! The Sinhar warriors were taken aback by the appearance of X jumping out of the bush.

“What! Tyrus?”

“no! “Human being human!”

“What’s going on, human! “Tell me your purpose for coming here!”

sparkle! Before we knew it, the warriors were aiming their crude spears at X.

X replied to them slyly.

“I’m sorry, there was no hostility. “I was just looking for a vicious and vicious guy named Tyrus. In the meantime, I heard the story of the brave Sinhar warriors and quickly ran to see if they could help!”

The enemy of our enemy is our friend.

The Sinhar warriors showed interest in X’s words.

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
