The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

『 Do you wish to enter the Sixth Floor of the Trial Tower? 』

Without waiting any further, Sheila clicked 'yes' and that was when her sight was robbed for a brief moment. Once Sheila regained her sight, she was greeted by a familiar environment. 

"Is this the same forest on the Fifth Floor?"

Sheila softly muttered when she recognizes her surroundings and thought it was the same forest as on the Fifth Floor. But when she investigates more of her surroundings, she realizes that it was a mistake. Although it appears that the Sixth Floor also took place in a forest, it wasn't the same one on the Fifth Floor. 

When she was investigating the surrounding forest, Sheila met a couple of monsters along the way which surprised her quite a bit as she didn't think that her deduction was on the mark. 

Growl!

A threatening growl could be heard the moment Sheila briefly shows her figure out of the shadow. She turned her head toward the sound, not before returning into the shadow, Sheila could see a single monster at the same height as ten years old kids, walk out of the bush while looking warily at its surrounding. It was a beast type monster named, Fierce Wolf.

『 Fierce Wolf LV.23 』

It's two levels lower than me, but I shall not look down on it since it would be my first fight against beast type monster. Judging by the name, it must be a monster that focused on speed or strength but that's not a sure thing yet as I didn't know whether their name actually had meaning like that, thought Sheila. 

The wolf was confused as at one moment, it could sense a human presence but when it went out of its hiding spot, the presence faded away along with it. It looked around in vigilance for a few minutes before it started to lose interest and decide to head back into the comfy bush. 

But the moment it turned its back on her, Sheila immediately sprints toward it as her empty hand was suddenly equipped with a small yet powerful dagger that was transformed from the green bracelet. It would be unwise to use a gun in a place yet to be explored, although it was unlikely, there might be a monster that she couldn't beat just yet and alerting them now is not a smart thing to do. 

The Fierce Wolf suddenly detected a threat to its life as it immediately leaped sideways agilely, but it was not fast enough as the black dagger swiftly stabbed on the furry creature and it howls when it feels a burning pain on its rear. Though the dagger managed to injure the wolf, it wasn't enough to completely kill it.

Grrrr! ROAR!

The wolf quickly turned around and tried to do a counterattack but Sheila was already gone into the shadow, it was met with nothing. Although it was perplexed at her disappearance, the wolf didn't let its guard down and watch the surrounding with a threatening growl, ready to pounce at whatever that might show up at it. 

The bloody cut left by her dagger have started to slowly heal up while she was hiding in the shadow looking for opportunity, it seemed the wolf in front of her has quite the vitality. She also did a couple of sneaky attacks toward the wolf and swiftly returned into a shadow before it could launch an attack at her. 

The Fierce Wolf by now was growling heavily with wounds all over its body, and by the look of its crimson red eyes, one could tell how much hatred it hold boiling inside of it at the shadowy figure that has been attacking it for a while now without being able to retaliate in kind.

The shadowy figure somehow managed to leave a few wounds on its back without being noticed as the moment it felt the pain and turn around, that shadowy figure has already disappeared. The wolf knew that the shadowy figure is still there, hiding somewhere in the surrounding yet it couldn't detect any sort of presence other than its own which makes it even angrier than ever.

Hmm, it's definitely fast and quick in a reaction as if I had been any later, it would have managed to leave a deep wound on my body if the hit connected without a doubt. So far, I have gained a considerable amount of information about this beast type monster which would be helpful for the future if I came across another one of its species, even though I don't know whether it exists beyond the Trial Tower, Sheila thought and decided to finally put it to rest since she had acquired enough information. 

While the Fierce Wolf was thrashing in a fit, Sheila sneakily jumped into its shadow and though it detected her presence for a split second when she went out of the shadow to move, Sheila easily sidestepping to the side at the claw coming toward her and soon disappeared into the shadow under the vengeful eyes of the wolf. It fiercely thrashes the ground where she previously went into its shadow but to no avail, it was only making itself exhausted from all the thrashing it had done while Sheila was safe from any harm as the wolf didn't have the ability, it couldn't attack her directly unless she willingly came out on her own. 

It seemed this wolf didn't have that much intelligence on its head since I could easily sneak attack it a few times without any problem. I was expecting it to get used to it and was able to overturn the situation and might get myself injured in response but I might have overestimated it too much, thought Sheila. It was as clear as the sky that I'm stronger than it, so does this mean that I could tame it with the taming skill? it was worth a try so I will immobilize it, for now, since it was a good time as it has already exhausted itself from all that thrashing. I must be a genius!

As the wolf was staring intently on the ground, Sheila calmly jumped out of its shadow right behind it and before it could turn around and attack her, within that split seconds, she used two of her skills at once, immobilizing the wolf on the spot. With Shadow Binding and Intimidate Skill combined, there's no way it could escape from that. Sheila was sure of it as after a few seconds passed, the Fierce Wolf was still frozen on the spot. Without wasting any further, she brought the rune note out of the inventory and immediately carried out the procedure for taming on the wolf. 

Although the wolf fiercely resists against her as expected from its name, it was not long before her will overpowered it and she had to look away for a moment as the light was too blinding for her eyes. When the light faded, the same gray wolf but instead of the previous height and size, it now appeared as a pup in its place. 

Woof! Woof!

The wolf pup happily runs around her as if its previous hatred for her was nothing but an illusion. Without a doubt, the taming was successful and she could feel some sort of hidden connection with the wolf pup just like the one with the slime, Kuu.

"But no one told me it would be a wolf pup though, and with its height and size now, rather than a wolf, it looks more like a cute and fluffy doggy instead. I have been saying this before but I'm more of a feline type of person, not really a dog person."

Sheila softly muttered to herself while watching the wolf pup now dubbed as small doggy, was earnestly running around her without a care in the world. It remained ignorant at the fact that its master was currently thinking about whether she should kill it on the spot or leave it be. She shook her head after considering it for a moment and heaved a sigh before saying.

"No, perhaps it will grow in size when it leveled up quite a bit. I guess I'll let it go for now and see if my guess were right."

With that said, Sheila commands it to return to note before putting it into her inventory as it would only get itself killed if she let it run around as pleased on the Sixth Floor. Even 'Kuu' who were supposedly mimicking as a bracelet was quietly sitting in the inventory as she didn't want to risk losing her first tamed companion. With everything done, Sheila decided to dive deeper into the forest to investigate some more of its inhabitant and perhaps, leveling herself up before exiting the Trial Tower.
