Chapter 4: ['Grimm' Encounter]
Ookurikara was roaming the forest near the biome he had spawned in, and either gathering information, or taking the natural resources like berries, sticks, and other things he find while wandering around the large forest.

[New Update Found!]
'Update? You need an update. ' Ookurikara was confused on why the system needed an update, wasn't already complete and perfect?
[Wrong, The System is in Beta - Version and Mistakes Need to be Corrected]
'But what would happen during your update? ' He was worried for his safety in the strange forest he was sure he wouldn't be able to survive without his abilities, who could?
[Everything Will be Available except the System Panels, and Experience Points]
'Then I'm okay with the system's upgrade. ' Ookurikara didn't care about the temporary loss of the system and experience points, it was only temporary, and experience points were easy to gain back.
[ Undergoing Update....]
Ookurikara continued roaming the forest and gathering of materials along with information, until he came across some sort of large black wolf with feral bones that plated it's body, and red markings that adorned the bone platings.
'Beowolf. ' He remembered the type of grimm really well from how common they were, and also remembered that they were also really weak.
'I wonder what it will drop? It's bones? ' Ookurikara giggled quietly as he unsheathed both of his sword, and readied his stance. He activated [Dash I], [Running I] , [Concentration I], and [Aura Channeling I] to increase his speed, and reaction time to kill the beowolf before it would even notice!
He inhaled and exhaled calmly, and then kicked off the ground in a burst of speed right beside the beowolf! The grimm noticed his presence and tried to attack, but Ookurikara's sword had already sailed into it's neck before it could even lift it's entire arm!
The grimm's body fell to the ground with a thud, and dissolved into light instead of dark ashes that grimm were known to dissolve into. The grimm dissolved, and what was left was some bones, it's mask now shaped to fit a human or faunus, and dark black powder contained within a glass casing.
Picking up the items off the ground, Ookurikara smirked at how easy it was to kill the grimm, 'I thought beowolves stayed in packs? I probably would've had more difficulties if it had a pack '.
Out in the distance behind him, he heard the loud howls of anger and vengeance of wolves that wanted revenge for their ally. The beowolves quickly crosses the distance when he turned toward their direction, and his killing intent sense finally gave him a warning. 'I guess I can finally understand how Ben 10 feels when he jinxes himself, and I already don't like it. ' Ookurikara jumped back away from the strike, and he threw the Hounding Knives into the side of the beowolf's arm.
After they pierced the beowolf's arm and inbedded into it's arm, they vanished and Ookurikara felt them right back in his hands.
' Useful.' He thought, he could already see how dispensable the knives would be in a battle against creatures and human/faunus alike, and how useful it would be.
The beowolf distanced itself away from him as the rest of it's pack arrived, along with their alpha wolf which was twice as large as the others. 'Encountering some beowolves, and the alpha...is this good or bad luck? ' Ookurikara put his knives away into their sheaths, and took out his twin blades.
Activating [Concentration I] and [Running I] his perception of time slowed down, and felt power fill his legs. He didn't use dash as he couldn't change the direction he dashed forward to, so he could only use these two to enhance his abilities.
The alpha eyed him with curiosity then barked at the pack members and they began to move, Ookurikara channeled mana into his blades as his eyes darted between the wolves while analysing the situation. The first wolf lunged at him, but the strike was blocked and parried with a slice to it's exposed torso, and a kick to it's sliced open stomach to quickly launch it away from him.
Sensing another stike behind him, Ookurikara turned around just in time to block another strike, but was attacked again before he has thr chance to conter the attack. Mind you, the attacks was still slowed down by 10% from his perspective, but even with that the wolf managed to leave scratch marks on his neck before he blocked it as well.
He was stronger than the average person but not grimm, and he was quickly overpowered by the stronger force and was forced to to the ground with his back. But before the grimm could take it to their advantage, he kicked the beowolf off him and into the other, then quickly got up with a serious expression adorned on his face.
He touched his neck with an unusual face and looked back at the grimm with a glint in his eyes, 'That beowolf was so close to ripping out my thoat...this really isn't a game '.
His eyes contained weary as he looked at the grimm surrounding him, but not a speck of fear or anxiety. His mind came up with a brilliant idea, and when three grimm pounced on him, he inserted his blade into one of their stomachs and used their bodies to block the other's attack while inserting his blade through all three of them.
He took his blade out of the bloody bodies of the three grimm, and felt the irritation caused by the cut on his face disappear. 'I love life - steal in games, and in real life. ' Although their numbers decreased by almost half, their intent to kill him only increased from his action and vicious tactics.
Two of the beowolves he remembered as the ones he kicked away lunged at him, effectively blocking his vision with their bodies and they tried striking him. Unfortunately for them, he blocked their attacks with his sword and struck one of the knives in the left one's thoat, while kicking the right one away and throwing another hounding knife that cleanly pierced through the skull and into the brain.
His senses detected the killing intent from the other beowolf, and he managed to block it's claws only inches away from his neck. Countering with an upper cut, he used dash and impaled the grimm with his sword against a tree, and then he took the blade out and flicked the blood away. Looking around he noticed something really important, 'Where is the alp- ' Suddenly, his world shifted extremely to the left as pain shot up from the right side of his entire body, and he was flung to a tree with the impact powerful enough to make him spit out globs of his own blood.
With eyes half lidded, he was clutching the right side of his chest, which he felt the wet and warm blood seeping through his fingers from an open wound. 'I think I have broken ribs, and seriously wounded pride.. I.D escape! ' He cried out mentally, but it didn't work.
[I.D Escape is Unable to Work within a Boss Battle]
He mentally cursed the system, and barely managed to block the alpha's strike, but the sheer strength behind the attack began pushing his arms back against his chest. Ookurikara stared directly into the eyes of the alpha beowolf, and saw how it looked at him.
'Darn arrogant dog! You think I'll die under one arm! I'll shatter that arrogance by utterly defeating you! ' Ookurikara spat out his blood directly into it's eyes, and blinded it's vision. Then he reached into his sheath, and stabbed the beast right through it's eyes!
It howled in pain, and he kicked it off of him while getting up. Huff* Huff* Ookurikara stabbed the sword onto the ground for stability as he felt the sword's effect slowly take action and heal him, but it wasn't enough for him to fully recover.
Getting up, he walked around and collected the dropped loot then used [I.D Escape] to escape, and he was back inside his basement. His feet shook with his steps, and he collapsed onto the ground. 'I just need a little nap, a little n- ' Ookurikara succumbed to his exhaustion, and passed out cold on the floor.
[System Finished It's Update!]
Thankfully for the system, Ookurikara wasn't conscious enough to see the notification, or else he would've probably have cussed and tried to assault his system.
This would be a good lesson to his first time in a 'dungeon', and that would be:
'All the materials he collected could be sold, or used to create something nice '.
