Chapter 36 Otherworld
As he was slowly swallowed by the light, Alexander found himself in another place. Observing his surroundings, he was surrounded by trees. It was dark since when he looked up, he saw the moon that was in full shape.
This made him ponder and also wonder, "Am I really in another world? Why does it seem like this is just a forest, and the terrain and structures of the earth are somehow the same as this?" as he wandered his gaze, trying to find something unique.
Suddenly, the system sounded, stopping his mind from wandering about things.

Reading this, he felt good somehow. Since he got a good beginners pack to assist him, but there seems to be no changes in him or even like a wave of memory came flooding on him. Thinking that it must not be activated yet, so he put it aside for now.
"Well, that was pretty convenient," Alexander thought inwardly. Suddenly, his ears perked up as he shifted his gaze behind him.
The place where he was looking right now is surrounded by trees, and it was so dark that his vision can't pierce it. Then suddenly, a rustle sounded again from the bushes, making him alert. It circled around him, wondering what it was as he kept locking his gaze from where he was hearing the moving sound is.
As the sound became closer and louder, suddenly the bush shook, and Alexander was ready. Then the unknown animal puffed out. It was a white rabbit with its eyes glowing red. As it sniffed in a cute way in front of him, Alexander just looked at its actions, couldn't help but be in awe of how cute and adorable it is.
But its size made Alexander think twice before touching it. Since its size is 2x bigger than a normal rabbit, even its claws were sharp as a blade, making him seem more like a predator than a herbivore.
Suddenly, its eyes gazed at Alexander, and suddenly, he felt his danger sense shook while looking at its eyes.
The rabbit then just took a step back a little, then sprung its body up. It was fast as it flew through the air with its claws up, wanting to pierce Alexander.
Alexander, who was prepared for any abnormality, took a sidestepped, dodging the incoming attack as it passed by beside him.
Their eyes connected with each other as it flew past him. After landing, it hopped again in Alexander's direction. It was really fast, like a cheetah in full speed, but Alexander was much faster since he was dodging it with ease.
When the rabbit hopped again, aiming for his chest, Alexander decided to counterattack. When it was close, he just kicked it in its jaw using his knee. A heart-stopping crunch echoed through the air as the rabbit's teeth shattered like glass. Its body flew upward in a violent arc, with its bones breaking with a sickening snap.
As it landed on the ground and was about to move, Alexander moved in lightning speed, stomping its chest. With a strong force, his feet caved in to the rabbit's body, making it puke with blood from its mouth and nose, and another sound of broken bones and flesh was heard.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The rabbit could not handle the pain anymore, finally it stopped moving, clearly lifeless on the ground. Alexander just looked at this with a cold expression, but his hands were trembling, but inside him, his emotion was calm.
"So, this is actually the true purposed of this. Even though this is my first time killing a living animal, it somehow made me feel I'm used to it," Alexander thought inwardly as he looked at his shaking hands.
He slowly turned them into a fist, and finally he calmed down, as he looked at the dead rabbit in front of him.
[You just killed a 'Loomhopper'. You've gained 9 exp.]
Hearing this, his emotion from killing the rabbit that was still lingering inside his heart vanished. "There's actually such a thing, system why did you not tell me?" he cursed inwardly.
[Host, please don't blame the system. Since It's not my fault you're so stupid. Don't you read a lot of novels and animes that leveled up by killing beasts and animals? Didn't this idea even come to your head just once?]
The system replied, after hearing his cursing word inside his mind. Alexander, hearing this, couldn't help but be embarrassed. The system was right. He wasn't exploring the capabilities of the system, making him not know that it actually had this function.
[Congratulations for killing your first beast in the other world, you have unlocked the 'Catalogue', a detailed archive of creatures, plants, and items.]
[Catalogue
Description:
This is a hidden system function, unlocked only after meeting a specific requirements. After defeating a beast or gathering plants and items, the Catalogue will automatically scan and appraise them, revealing their skills, effects, and other properties.]
Then above the buttons in the system panel, another button was added, and the name 'Catalogue' was etched on it. Alexander was really surprised that he actually unlocked one of the system's new functions.
Suddenly, the system panel and a holographic light began to scan the dead rabbit. After just a few seconds, it was added to the catalogue, and it was recorded in the book.
which the cover is name '3,378th Archive'. After clicking the book with its name on it in the panel, there are three buttons once again: Beast, Plant, and Items. Of course, he clicked Beast. Then he saw there was one record, and it was the image of the 'Loomhopper'. Clicking it, the information about the beast he just killed appeared in front of him.
[Loomhopper
Description: Don't be deceived by its adorable and cute appearance, cause this beast is actually quite dangerous. While its physical strength is low, its speed and senses are exceptionally sharp, allowing it to hear a mosquito from 30 meters away from its current location depending on their level.
You can anticipate its attack when it begins to back off slightly before springing toward its opponent, catching them off guard.
The beast's level is indicated by the color of its eyes: red represents the lowest tier, yellow indicates the second strongest, and the most formidable is the Loomhopper, which possesses a striking blue eyes and a horn on its head. It stands between 5 to 10 meters tall and boast a power level of 50 or above.]
Reading this, Alexander was flabbergasted. The one he slayed is actually the weakest, but its speed is already beyond normal, and for the strongest rabbit, I mean Loomhopper, is actually around level 50 or above.
Alexander thought with an impending doom on where he was standing right now is actually dangerous. "I'm still currently at level 4, and now there's a level 50 beast that is wandering this forest. Are you serious?" he furrowed his brows while, cursing inwardly.
But suddenly, there's another rustling sound, and about six beasts jumped from the bush and came into his view. It has gray fur, sharp teeth, and its eyes were menacing as it could be.
