After an unknown amount of time had passed in the void, Lindsay finally regained consciousness.

His body began to feel real, his ears were ringing, a bloody smell kept irritating his nose, and his throat felt sweet.

He struggled to open his eyes, and his vision gradually cleared.

What comes into view is a lush, thick canopy of trees, with branches extending and intertwining, and glimpses of a somewhat hazy sky through the gaps in the leaves.

Where am I? What did this come from?

The last memory is of walking on a zebra crossing in the city when a dump truck suddenly ran a red light—a flash of light, then darkness…

Logically speaking, if he hadn't died, as an ordinary college graduate who had just graduated and hadn't found a job yet, he should have woken up in a hospital bed, not lying in a primeval forest.

crossed.

Lindsay came to a conclusion that was almost absurd.

Other evidence supports this conclusion: fragmented memories of the original owner flooded into his mind.

This is a fantasy world where, in addition to humans, there are other races such as elves, orcs, dwarves, and demi-humans, and many supernatural things exist, such as magic and gods.

The most common topic of conversation is becoming an adventurer and embarking on a passionate adventure.

The original owner of this body was no exception.

He was an orphan from a young age and was adopted by a disabled veteran. The veteran treated him like his own son, teaching him not only to read and write and to survive in the wild, but also to swordsmanship.

After the veteran passed away, the original owner worked as a temporary worker for several years to save money, and never forgot to practice swordsmanship. When he turned sixteen, he registered as an adventurer.

The original owner teamed up with two new adventurers and set off from Linchui Town. Their first mission was to scout out a goblin nest in the Twilight Forest.

They successfully located the lair, but on their return journey, they were ambushed by a giant wolf. After a fierce battle, the original owner succumbed to her injuries and died. After that, she transmigrated into this world…

Thinking of this, Lindsay tried to get up, but found that he couldn't move his body at all, and had no feeling below his neck.

He could only turn his head with difficulty to observe the situation around him.

Damp soil, piles of decaying leaves on the ground, tattered burlap clothes on his body, and a giant wolf lying down with its big mouth biting his left arm!

Linsel's eyes widened. This giant wolf was the same one that had attacked his original self. It was 1.67 meters long and 1.23 meters tall at the shoulder. Its sharp teeth were clenched into his arm, its tongue was licking, and its mouth was trembling, even drawing blood.

But Lindsay felt no pain.

Lindsay concentrated, trying to free his hand from the wolf's jaws as quickly as possible. Suddenly, he saw a line of semi-transparent text appear above the wolf's head:

[Giant Dire Wolf, Mutated Demonic Beast, Health: 2/160, Armor: 0/50 (Thick Fur), Medium Head Wound, Severe Torso Wound, Medium Limb Wound, Shock]

This is... a cheat code!

After seeing the cheat code appear, Lindsay became much calmer.

He discovered that, just as the Golden Finger had indicated, the dire wolf was severely wounded: a spear was stuck in its body, its back was covered in wounds, its eyes were dull and lifeless, and its mouth was weakly trying to bite down, but it couldn't bring itself to do so.

Corinthians' situation wasn't much better.

I must regain control of my body as soon as possible and get up to kill it. Otherwise, if the dire wolf recovers first after I just transmigrated, my arm and even my life will be in danger.

Lindsay tried to concentrate again, and a semi-transparent panel appeared before him.

Linsel's attention was focused on the health bar: 2 HP, just like the dire wolf, it was near death.

He can only hope that he can stand up. In this situation, whoever gets up first will take the initiative!

Time passed second by second, and the man and the wolf remained locked in a stalemate, each wanting to kill the other, yet neither was able to do anything about it.

During the agonizing wait with nothing to do, Linsel stared intently at the Golden Finger panel, not missing a single detail.

In terms of attributes, apart from intelligence, he was unremarkable, and Lindsay thought that the 7 points in intelligence might be related to his time travel.

Armor; the tattered linen clothes he wore were only slightly better than being naked.

There's also a monster encyclopedia entry that's empty, which he doesn't quite understand.

As Lin Sai was pondering, he suddenly saw that his health had increased to 3.

Immediately following was a piercing pain.

The pain started in my left arm, then spread throughout my body, and the pain sensation is returning!

Now that you can move, get moving!

"Ughhhh..."

A hoarse sound came from his throat, and the instinct for survival made Linsel endure the excruciating pain and roll his body to his left.

He pressed his entire weight onto the giant dire wolf, his right elbow wedged into the wolf's neck, blocking its airway.

The giant wolf's body trembled, its limbs spasmed, its sharp teeth clenched tighter, and its tongue, as sharp as sandpaper, rubbed against the skin on Linsel's arm. Linsel felt as if the skin on his arm was about to be licked off.

It's struggling to survive, hold on!

Linsel continued to press on, his eyes fixed on the translucent text above the giant wolf's head.

2 ... 1 ...

The giant wolf only released its grip when the opponent's health dropped to 0. It exhaled a long breath from its large mouth and then fell silent.

It worked!

Just seconds after the giant wolf died, a third panel appeared in Lindsay's eyes.

[Monster Encyclopedia Activated: Giant Dire Wolf defeated. Choose one ability to gain.]

[Robust: Constitution +2, Health +30]

[A keen sense of smell: You can detect unique scents in the vicinity]

[A mother's strength is boundless: If there is a blood relative within ten meters of you, Strength +2, Dexterity +2, and your Will saves are greatly enhanced.]

[Note: If you already possess the available ability, then enhance that ability instead; abilities have three levels and can be enhanced twice.]

Linsel's eyes lit up; this was the ability of the monster encyclopedia in the panel.

Without much thought, he chose [Robust], as the healing ability would allow him to escape near death and quickly recover from his injuries, making it the most suitable ability at the moment.

Moreover, it was getting dark, and he had to leave the Twilight Forest as soon as possible, otherwise staying in the forest at night would surely be a death sentence.

[Successfully selected [Robust]]

The moment the semi-transparent text appeared before him, Lindsay saw a square image of a giant dire wolf appear in the monster encyclopedia section.

Monster Encyclopedia

1. Giant Dire Wolf.

Description: Threat Level 3. A variant of the dire wolf, with enhanced strength, agility, and constitution compared to the regular dire wolf. Rare in number, these wolves often serve as pack leaders and are typically found near forests.

After gaining the [Robust] ability, he felt changes in his body: the pain in various parts of his body lessened, and a kind of vitality surged through his body, like a spring of life flowing into his dying body.

My health status on the panel has improved.

[Lince, Human, Health: 32/90, Moderate torso injury, Minor left arm injury, Minor leg injuries]

With a final effort, Linsset finally managed to stand up, albeit somewhat unsteadily.

To make sure the giant wolf wasn't completely dead, Linsel pulled the spear from its body and stabbed it in the head twice more.

The wound on his left arm from the wolf bite, the minor bone injuries on his legs, and the bruises all over his body had not yet been treated. He remembered that his companion had some medical supplies on him and should be nearby.

Holding a spear, Linsset easily found the two boys lying in the bushes nearby. Both boys had their stomachs cut open and were already dead.

At the same time, he also discovered two young dire wolves, about the size of domestic dogs, unknowingly gnawing on the bodies of their two companions.

Dire Wolf (Juvenile), Demonic Beast, Health: 60/60, Armor: 15/15 (Fur)

Wow, there are even smaller ones!
