"Man, if the XP bar keeps on increasing after each level up, it\'s gonna be a tall task to level up." Jake thought.

After closing the door to the gym, Jake went to his dorm to take his bath. After everyone had taken their bath, they all went to take their breakfast together as usual. After eating, Jake decided to pay the VR gaming room a visit.

After paying 60 credits for 3 hours, Jake hopped into the capsule to play his first ever game. Quickly logging in, Jake was transported to his own white space.

"The creators of this game really did a great job, they made everything seem so realistic with the Sense of smell and all that." Jake thought. "i wonder if my system works here."

"I think it does, because I can hear and see everything you do." Zee said.

Quickly checking his theory, Jake decided to open up his system screen and it worked.

"Wait, if I can open up my system screen here then that means I can also use some of my skills here." Jake thought.

Opening up his skill tab, Jake quickly closed it because the skills on his skill tab will require an opponent to use it on. So not wasting time, Jake decided to divide his three hours into three activities.

The first; Battle against the werewolves for one hour.

Second: battle against humans for one hour leaving him with one more hour.

Last hour; Use the quick match to match him with random human opponents from Bronze to Gold.

Without wasting much time, Jake decided to start the game quickly with the battle against werewolves. After searching for a while, a werewolf was found. Seeing a werewolf standing in front of him again, Jake froze, his heart thumping louder and louder.

"Jake, relax. It\'s just a game. A VR. Calm down. If you don\'t face your fears now, how will you defeat the real werewolves?" Zee asked.

Hearing Zee\'s voice of reason, Jake snapped out of his trance to face his fears and defeat the werewolf in front of him. When Jake was ready, the countdown clock again was seen counting down from five to one. And when it hit 0, the werewolf dashed towards Jake.

"Calm down Jake, control your breathing." Jake said to himself.

When the werewolf was close to Jake, the werewolf swiped again with its claws towards Jake head.

"Common, I have seen this trick once before, do you think I will fall for it again?" Jake asked while quickly sliding under the werewolf and slashing its legs with his sword. And then his back was turned towards the werewolf.

Jake quickly turned around but his face was met with a fist from the werewolf therefore flinging Jake\'s head back and causing him to lose balance and fall off.

"Damn! I\'m such a fool." Jake said.

Quickly standing up, Jake moved back to create distance between him and the werewolf. The werewolf stood there looking at Jake as if observing Jake\'s moves.

"Huh!? They actually created this thing a little too real." Jake said.

Having enough of waiting around, Jake decided to run towards the werewolf and the werewolf reacted by running towards Jake, then Jake slid under the werewolf\'s leg causing a cut on it. Angrily, the werewolf turned around and gave Jake a kick in his ribcage therefore breaking it.

"Ah damn! Why is it so difficult to defeat a VR werewolf?" Jake asked in frustration.

"Because you are not keeping calm. You have something that others don\'t but you don\'t want to use it." Zee said.

Realizing his mistakes, Jake decided to give it a shot maybe it might work. First of, Jake used the <Inspect skill> to see if his other skills will work. And miraculously it worked.

"So I can use my skills in the game too." Jake excitedly said.

But his excitement was cut short for the werewolf was already upon him. The werewolf tried to punch Jake but he quickly cast<The Triple Threat\'> skill to get away and moved behind the werewolf quickly. And then the final stage, he casted the <Frenzy strike> and <Melee combat: that deals 10 percent damage to someone> causing him to rapidly attack the werewolf with his sword for 2 seconds straight non stop.

The werewolf was unable to attack back for 2 seconds causing Jake to deal major damage under 2 seconds. When the 2seconds elapsed, Jake finally moved back to create space.

"Ah damn! Even with all that, I still can\'t deal any damage to it." Jake shouted. That was when he remembered one more trick that might do the job.

The werewolf charged right at Jake but before it could get close, Jake used \'The Triple Threat\' skill closing the distance between him and the werewolf before it could do that. And then Jake gave it a strong punch with all the strength he could muster. That was when he heard a notification but this time not from his head but around him.

<Congratulations Wolf hunter! You have got your first win. Win four more times straight to advance to the next rank.>

"phew. That was very difficult and challenging. The werewolf although a VR, it still felt real, I had to fight with everything." Jake said.

"Yeah, you did great." Zee said.

"Alright, let\'s see how much time I have left." Jake said checking the time and thankfully, he only used thirty minutes to defeat the werewolf, meaning he has thirty more minutes before he needed to go onto the second phase.

Not wasting time, Jake quickly selected another game. This time he found it a little bit easier because he managed to get used to the werewolf\'s fighting pattern. After twenty minutes of intense battling, Jake decided to take a break before he moved onto the next phase.

Although he wasn\'t fighting physically with his real body, it was still mentally daunting fighting. So he was mentally tired that was why he was taking a break. Checking his gaming system, he saw he had two wins to his belt. Satisfied with this, Jake decided to go onto the next phase which is fighting humans.

Jake selected the button that had the words <Fight with humans> on it and he clicked it and then after a little bit of time, the game finally found him a match.

Standing opposite Jake was what looked like a fisherman, the avatar that Jake\'s opponent used was dressed like some sort of a fisherman. Not caring about that, Jake just wanted to get the match over and done with quickly. The big countdown clock appeared again and when the time hit 0, the match started. Will Jake win the match or not?
