Nix immediately started to shoot bolts after checking its information from his gauntlet on the nearby cyclops to pull its aggro. While others tried to attack.

"Everyone aims for its eye!"

Nagendra shouted and started running towards the cyclops near Nix. Nix tried to attack the cyclops on its leg. He got hit by its big stone weapon and sent soaring through the air. It swiftly turned its attention towards Nagendra and started swinging its weapon which destroyed the trees in the vicinity.

It can be said that Nix's stats were somewhat slightly higher than it. while the others were inferior to it. If Nagendra gets even a single blow he will die unconditionally.

'Ahhh it is paining all over my body.'

With a groan, Nix shot up from the ground and raced towards it. While they were struggling with the cyclops. The other cyclops was handled by the women of the team. It cannot be said that they were fighting but It can be said that they were at least holding on to their life.

Finally, Unable to endure any longer everyone started to run except Nix.

"Nix! we can't fight that damn thing, start running now."

"Nix come with us. Why are you going towards it?"

During all the three of them were yelling for Nix to come with them. He didn't even care about their voices and tried to slash the leg of the cyclops which barely made any scratch on its skin. It kicked him towards the other monster, and the other one swiftly swung its stone bat to attack him. Fortunately, he brushed beyond it and escaped from receiving the blow,

'I am going to die now?'

He turned his head left and right like he was refusing.

'I will somehow make it back alive.'

He stood up from the ground while clutching his sword and his blood dripped through the edge of the sword and fell onto the ground.

The cyclops near him and the other cyclops turned their attention towards him rather than chasing after the remaining teammates since he attacked it.

Shreya started shouting from a distance.

"Nix why are you sacrificing yourselves for us? Come with us. I want all of us to survive this!"

'Rather than trying to run you people could help me.'

Nagendra grabbed Shreya's hand who was persistently shouting at Nix to run with them in fear.

The cyclops which was close by turned its attention back to them. Nagendra's pupils dilated and he was overwhelmed by fear.

He yelled towards Nix.

"Shit... Nix you can't fight that thing! Start running!"

Without looking back Nagendra pushed his feet from the ground and commenced running with Shreya.

"What about Nix? He will come with us, right? why is he sacrificing himself for us?"

" "

He didn't utter a word as he was diligent in running because the cyclops which was distracted by Nix was starting to get its attention because of a certain someone.

It was not like he was sacrificing himself for them. He was a human who believed in his instincts. He stayed there to fight back because he would be hunted by the monsters which will make him die a dog's death without even knowing why he got his Cheat abilities and more importantly his strong desire to survive.

While they were running, Nix was barely managing to defend himself from the Cyclops.

Even though he used prediction ability, his body couldn't react with it and attack reflexively with his prediction and what he found using the truth eye was that the cyclops had a bit lower stats than him. If he was good with his swordsmanship or skilled in fighting, he could have managed to attack it.

'Should I run?... I am feeling helpless if I get a single chance! If I get a single chance or a miracle.'

He was groveling on the ground feeling helpless. His body began to surge with some sort of energy flowing through him. He was barely conscious and he was trying his hardest to stay in consciousness. If he even closes his eyes for a second he would probably end up into a chunk of meat. His vision became blurry during the fight.

He started to move the energy which he felt inside his body and made it circulate towards his legs and hands. He felt a strange feeling in his body which made him a bit confident he didn't think about what it was. All he wanted was to fight back. He tried to inject his energy through the sword and achieved it. He was able to dodge its attack reflexively.

He raced and went between its legs and turned back to the monster and struck the calf muscle of the monster. Greenish blood began to gush out of the cut made by Nix.

"rawwrr"

It screamed in pain, and at that moment the one which was chasing after the others left them and commenced to race towards where Nix and the cyclops were.

'I have to kill this one now!. I can't handle two of them alone.'

He climbed on the monster which was kneeling because of the pain he created by cutting its leg. He climbed on its back with his sword. He continuously stabbed and penetrated its back to climb up.

Suddenly the monster's eye glimmered in red and it started to shake him off from its body.

"rawwrrr"

It was screaming in anger like it was in pure madness and more aggressive than before. He didn't want to lose his chance so he quickly retracted his sword and stabbed its neck quickly without any hesitation or fear.

[You have done an achievement- Scrutiny overcomer.]

[You have got inventory functions as a reward for the first achievement.]

[Eat the eye of the cyclops to gain a new class.]

"rawwrrr"

With a scream, the giant boss monster fell to the ground.

'Gross I should eat the eye for stats and class? I don't want to do it but, I guess I don't have any other choice. How do classes work here?GEneric game type? I wonder...'

While he was in thought the other cyclops started rushing towards him.

'Why were there two damned boss monsters around here? for fuck sake!'

But, something felt strange to him because it was destroying everything around its environment. It was going on a rampage and there was this same red glint on its eye just like the other cyclops.

He did the same trick just as he did to the first cyclops, He cut down its Calf muscle. It was rather difficult to strike a blow on its calf though. Nix was in awe because this didn't go down or kneel. it started to swing the stone weapon more furiously he managed to climb its back whilst it tried to shake him off and tried hard. He immediately inserted his sword inside its spine and the giant body fell.

[Eat cyclops eye to gain 5 stat points.]

'Ahh guess I am safe now.'

Nix fell to the ground as his body felt numb. He laid down on the ground for a while and got up after he felt a bit alright. He got near the Corpse of the cyclops and removed its eye and took the eye of the other cyclops.

'I guess it would be better as it can give me stat points so, not a bad choice even though I feel a bit gross to it,'

He opened his inventory and a window popped up in the air when he inserted his hand it got in so put the Cyclop's eyes into it.

[Cyclops eye x 2 added in the inventory.]

'ahh, where could others have gone ?'

He started walking and climbed on a tree.

'It won't be bad if I just stay on the tree for rest of the day'

***

{Day3}

"hah, I am fucking tired can't I stay like this for a while?"

Muttering to himself he jumped down from the tree.

"Ahhh Dammit! it's still paining"

With a faint groan, he picked up his sword and started walking.

'Guess I shouldn't stay in the same place.'

Feeling reluctant he started walking.

"shrikk sriik"

"What was that?"

Nix turned around to check if there was somebody since the bushes rustled.

"hah, whatever."

He turned and started to commence deep inside the forest.
