Chapter 10: Culture Shock
"Haaa...haaa...haaa..."
After nearly a month of training within the Corridor of Intertwined Fates, only taking breaks to rest and exit to speak with Fumiko in the mornings, Vahn felt more at home within the game-like space than he did outside of it.
"Haaap...!"
Leaping several meters vertically and many more horizontally, Vahn stabbed his Legendary Spear into the forehead of a large monster that resembled a giant pumpkin with sunken eyes and a maw full of massive, goop-dripping teeth. It issued a piercing scream and furiously waved its vine-like tendrils in response, but with a twist of his spear, Vahn released a small explosion of flame from its tip, causing the monster, known as a Jawhorn Husk(D-Rank), to explode from the inside.
Backflipping off the Jawhorn's head as it exploded, Vahn landed a few meters away, kneeling on his left knee, head lowered, and spear held out to the side as he adopted a somewhat haughty grin. Chunks of grotesque orange flesh rained down on him, but after the Jawhorn breathed its final breath, they vanished into motes of orange light.

Acquired 738 OP for defeating Jawhorn Husk(D-Rank)

'Nice...' thought Vahn, taking a moment to regulate his breathing before rising to his feet and seeing if there were any additional spoils for him to collect.
"Another one...?" Vahn asked himself, picking up a jack-o-lantern-themed hairclip from the ground and inspecting it.
