Standing in the distance was a wolf about the size of a tank. A thick coat of silver fur was gleaming on its body alongside split pupils, lightning yellow eyes. There was a five feet (152 cm) horn protruding from its forehead.

When the wolf felt Jason's gaze on its body, it suddenly jumped forward and soared through the air.

Jason realized that the wolf was aiming for him and immediately started running as though his life depended on it.

Well it probably did.

'System, what are the chances of me defeating that thing?' Jason asked while gasping for breath.

Running while being a child wasn't fun at all, especially when a big wolf was chasing you for no apparent reason.

[ 0% percent ] The system replied in a monotone voice.

Excellent…

'You could have at least softened the blow by saying something like 0.1 percent!' Jason cried as he felt the ground tremble.

THUD!

The wolf suddenly landed on the ground creating a huge crater.

Seeing that Jason had managed to put some distance between them, it opened its mouth and released a screeching howl that solidified into a sound wave attack.

The attack moved forward at the speed of sound and destroyed everything in its path.

Jason thought about dodging the attack by running in another direction but he had a feeling that he would be dead before he could put some distance between him and the attack.

In the end, he barely evaded it by using the simplest and most adequate method for a child his age.

He sank to the ground.

It was at that moment that he was thankful for his short height. However, his chances of being able to defeat the wolf were still non-existent.

'Run Jason, run!' While running, Jason glanced over his skills. He could try using either of them but there was no guarantee that the attack would do anything to the wolf.

The 5% especially looked gloomy to him.

All of a sudden, the hair on his back stood up as the wolf released another howl.

"Aooo!"

Five wolves that looked exactly like the big wolf appeared in front of it. All of them were the same size as Jason, just a bit smaller.

This marked them as cubs considering the fact how huge the big wolf was.

Jason immediately accepted the quest while knowing that he couldn't possibly win something like this.

His only hope of winning against the five cubs was repel and confusion and to make sure he had a chance, Jason decided to max out the skills.

< 15 system points have been deducted. >

As soon as he maxed out the skill, Jason saw his progress bar move up to ten, indicating that his job class leveled up to 2.

He gained 5 points per level but he didn't have the time to enjoy that.

The big wolf howled once again as all five of the wolf cubs charged toward Jason. He could easily tell that they thought of him as prey, making it the only advantage he had.

He would use their ignorance to the fullest and only then could he survive.

'Come on, use some skill attack. Don't just come and casually bite my head off.'

Jason soon realized that standing still would lead to physical contact as a result of which he would immediately die.

So instead, he decided to run away while looking back. If the wolves didn't attack him using a skill or spell, he was going to have some major problems.

'Hopefully, they fall for my acting and I can defeat them before I run out of mana.'

Jason's plan was to act scared before breaking down and letting the cubs attack him, thinking that he had given up.

His plan depended a lot on his mana pool which had increased considerably after he had unlocked his elements which had somehow affected his HP too.

'Yes!' Jason finally felt that he could win the fight as he saw that wolves had suddenly slowed down their moment speed.

They decided to demonstrate the attack shown by the big wolf in hopes of showing off.

They shot five airwaves from their mouths as they shot moving in Jason's direction. Their size was half of Jason's body size which made him a lot more confident in approaching the attacks.

"Repel!"

"Repel!"

"Repel!"

"Repel!"

"Repel!"

He spammed the Repel skill five times as one of the five waves moved back towards the wolves.

As he used this skill, Jason learned that he could actually choose where he wanted to repel the damage to and even use it push all of the attacks at once.

He chose the wolf on the leftmost side and pushed all of the combined damage onto it, immediately rolled away as the wolf who was hit by the attack cried in pain.

The total damage he had reflected back was 100%, making it as strong as one of the airwaves the wolves had launched originally.

And judging from the wounds and the cries of pain, the damage Jason had caused was significant.

'To think that they were about to blow me with five of such attacks.' Jason had spent 750 mana on his attacks and only managed to heavily wound one of the wolves.

He had also managed to dodge the attacks by doing awkward anime poses which somehow worked effectively.

[ Host, the big wolf will still be there even after you defeat the cubs. ] The system suddenly reminded him as it kept a check on the movement of the big wolf.

'I know.'

On cue, the big wolf in the distance released another howl and the five cubs did the same. Now, five smaller waves followed by an extremely big wave were traveling towards Jason.

Jason realized that the waves had trapped him and he would have to face one of them head-on or all of them would hit him.

'But what if I…' He began thinking and cut the thought midway as the attacks were getting too close to him.

Instead of running away in the other direction, Jason started moving forward. Though he felt like a fool while doing it, he felt that there was no other way for him to survive.

'Here goes nothing.' Jason took a deep breath as he took one of the airwaves head-on.

The attack hit him squarely in the stomach and pushed him back. While gritting his teeth, Jason saw that the attack had taken half of his health points.

However, it allowed him to proceed to the next step.

"Repel!"

The five wolf cubs soon realized that something was wrong as Jason threw the big wolf's attack in their direction.

It hit all of them at once since Jason had spread the attack. But even such a smaller version of the original attack was enough to throw them several hundreds of meters back.

The moment their bodies stopped drifting backwards, Jason saw that the five wolves were lying completely still on the ground.

All of them had died from the single attack.

Jason successfully completed the quest and gained fifty points from killing the wolves but the danger was far from over.

An enraged look was visible on the big wolf's face as it raised its head and howled towards the sky. Suddenly, dark clouds started appearing all over the starry sky and covered it to the brim.

Thunder struck as the dark clouds gathered above Jason's head. The horn on the wolf's forehead started glowing the same shade as its eyes as waves of power leaked out from it.

A purple lightning bolt shot out from the tip of the horn and traveled towards the sky. The clouds rumbled once as Jason saw lightning coursing in them.

If he was going to face that attack, he might as well lay on the ground and wait for the lightning to strike his body.

'I wonder if dying as a virgin twice can gain me some favors from the god or goddess of virginity.' Jason wondered while sitting cross-legged on the ground.

[ Despite the situation we are in, why are you thinking of that. ]

'Well, it's not like I am going to survive this.' Jason replied with a shrug.

He had already accepted his fate so the only thing he could do was sit on the ground and raise his hands.

He pointed the middle finger on his left hand towards the sky while pointing the middle finger of his other hand towards the wolf.

His act of disrespect might make some low level god furious since he was technically pointing towards the heave.

Perhaps, they would strike him in some other painful way and kill him before the wolf could.

"Aoooo!" Hearing the howl, all the hair on Jason's body stood up as the clouds rumbled once again.

The entire sky was illuminated as a purple lightning bolt shot towards Jason's body.

'Holy sh*t, that's so large. I think that's the biggest and thickest thing I have ever seen.' Jason then realized something. 'That could have a double meaning…'

[ Host… ]

BOOM!

Jason smiled bitterly and closed his eyes as the bolt of lightning hit his body.

He felt no pain.

'Huh?' Jason opened his eyes to see that he was bathed in lightning and was glowing purple. It even seemed to obey his command and move around the way he ordered it.

Unknown to him, the pendant on his neck was slowly sucking all the lightning inside the blue gem. A few moments later, Jason's entire body returned to normal as a system notification appeared in front of him.

< Pure lightning has been consumed. >

< Thunder Mage job class has been unlocked. >

"Ehhhh?!"
