The Villain’s Perspective

Lucifer's whole body felt like it was about to fall apart. If he could, he would just fall asleep instantly. Having been holding himself up for several hours, Lucifer would fall asleep immediately after closing his eyes.

People often said that the higher you went, the thinner the air became, but Lucifer didn't feel that way even after climbing to the top of this cliff.

Lucifer could still respire normally like usual.

The night was gradually disappearing and the sun was slowly rising from the horizon once again. Dawn was coming. Lucifer couldn't remember how many days he had spent in this world because he was too focused on survival and living.

Lucifer couldn't think of anything else now, he wanted to sleep so bad, he had to sleep. Just like that, Lucifer slowly shut his eyes because of the intense drowsiness.

Suddenly, Lucifer heard many footsteps approaching him. He tiredly opened his eyes to check where the sound came from. It hadn't even been 1 minute since Lucifer closed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, a few meters ahead of him, there were 3 wolf-like monsters that seemed to be Beast level, staring at him. They all had jet black fur with a hint of purple. Their fangs and claws seemed extremely keen, enough to pierce through a large rock. Furthermore, all 3 monsters had bloodshot eyes and were drooling while staring at Lucifer.

'No way…'

Lucifer fell into complete despair once again. He had just escaped a threatening situation that could have led to death not long ago, and now he had to face 3 more Beast level monsters.

But Lucifer still did not surrender to fate, he had to continue living. With that determination, Lucifer tried to stand up. His whole body was trembling, not because of fright, but because he had no stamina left.

But Lucifer still had to try to survive. Lucifer angrily shouted at the three monsters:

"If you want to eat me that bad, come here, you dogs! I'll kill you all! I'll kill all of you and survive!"

Lucifer had gone completely insane after having to constantly face the obstacles that the world gave him. He quickly pulled out his dagger and swung it around in the air.

Right now, Shadow Movement was still in a cooldown state, so he had to rely entirely on his body that was weakening over time. But of course, that wouldn't stop Lucifer from killing those monsters and continuing to live.

"Hahahahahahaha!!!!"

Lucifer laughed like a madman, his purpose was to scare those monsters and make them retreat. But it seemed that it didn't work because the three monsters were still glaring at Lucifer.

Realizing that his plan wouldn't work, Lucifer immediately took off the black T-shirt he was wearing all this time and wrapped it around his right forearm.

"Come here, you dogs! Kill me if you can!"

After being shouted at by Lucifer, a monster in the middle dashed forward first. It bounced towards him and widened its mouth, revealing keen teeth with a bit of blood on the inside.

Without delay, Lucifer quickly used his right forearm to block the bite. Because the forearm was covered in the T-shirt, he didn't receive too much damage from the bite. After blocking the monster's bite, Lucifer stabbed it repeatedly into its back.

Kill, kill, and kill were the only things that came to his mind at that moment. In the end, the monster let go of Lucifer's arm and died as soon as its body came into contact with the ground.

Lucifer took a few deep breaths and turned to glare at the remaining two monsters with hatred. Now, he only cared about one thing: Kill or be killed.

"Come on you piece of shit!"

The two wolf monsters charged at Lucifer. They were aiming for his dagger. One of them pounced on the dagger but was punched in the face by Lucifer and sent flying quite a distance.

The other opened its mouth and jumped towards the dagger in his left hand. This time, Lucifer didn't punch it like he did with the previous one, but stabbed the dagger into the monster's mouth. The dagger went deep into the monster's body, tearing apart everything inside.

Meanwhile, the other one seemed to be still unconscious from the punch just now.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Aren't you standing up? Why are you so different from the one I met in Hell, even though you're both Beast-level monsters? Or perhaps the one I encountered in Hell was a Giant-level monster?"

Lucifer said as he trudged towards the monster. He firmly grasped the dagger that was covered in the blood of the two monsters just now.

The last monster quivered, as if begging for forgiveness from Lucifer.

"What? You want me to forgive you? Then if I begged for your forgiveness just now, would you let me live?"

Lucifer glared at the monster with scorn.

***

After killing all three monsters, Lucifer decided to rest under a tree to let his body recover. Every 10 minutes, he would slap himself once to chase away the sleepiness.

Right now, Lucifer felt betrayed and resentful. As the creator of this world, he had to go through so many dangers that could lead to death right after being summoned here. Being transmigrated into a novel seemed great, but it wasn't.

'At least give me a god tier skill, a safe place, or even a healthy body!'

Lucifer wanted to sob but held back because he was a man, and man should never cry.

Every 5 minutes, he would look around to see if there was any danger. If a few stronger monsters appeared now, Lucifer wouldn't even be shocked anymore.

***

After more than an hour of rest, Lucifer's body was now a little better. It was less painful, but his right arm still couldn't function casually.

He couldn't waste any more time resting. He had to keep moving to get out of this forest as soon as possible.

Lucifer stood up, put on his black T-shirt to keep warm, and finished the last protein bar. Although he felt a little regretful, he had to do it.

'Oh, right!'

Lucifer suddenly slowed down. He recalled that after killing those wolf monsters, a notification from the system had appeared, but because he was too focused on the monsters at the time, he decided to ignore it.

Lucifer immediately opened the system panel while still walking forward.
