That night, Orion couldn't sleep; he was somewhat nervous.

Hunting was different from sparring—it was real combat, with bloodshed. The Black Forest was full of dangers, and even his father had been injured there.

For a novice like himself, one wrong move could be fatal.

Orion spent a lot of time preparing his weapons and making simple traps.

Of course, he had a little hope... while making the traps, Orion was waiting for the panel to trigger a new quest.

But even after making five traps, there was no prompt from the panel.

It seemed the newbie quests were selective, not triggered by just anything.

Orion opened the panel to check his attributes:

[Name: Orion]

[Race: Giant]

[Level: Standard]

[Age: 10 years]

[Height: 7 feet]

[Weight: 500 pounds]

[Cock: 20.5 inches]

[Strength: 14 (average for giants is 10)]

[Agility: 5 (average for giants is 5)]

[Intelligence: 8 (average for giants is 3)]

Title: Survivor

Skills: Intermediate Greatsword Mastery, Basic Spear Throwing Mastery

Special: Path of Evolution

Path of Evolution: As a survivor in this world, though your current level is ordinary, your strength will gradually increase with age. Of course, if you're ambitious, you can accelerate your growth through quests.

His height and weight hadn't changed much, but his cock had grown longer again.

Unfortunately, he wasn't Wukong; otherwise, he would definitely make good use of this 'stick'.

As Orion checked the panel and cleaned his spear with animal hide, he triggered a new quest!

[Newbie quest triggered: Hit enemies 10 times with a spear from a distance to gain Intermediate Spear Throwing Mastery]

"Simple."

Orion looked down and saw an ant crawling on the ground. He threw his spear with precision, hitting it directly.

However, the quest progress didn't increase; it remained 0/10. Clearly, such actions weren't recognized.

Orion sighed.

It seemed he had to face real creatures.

Newbie quests were relatively simple, with conditions and difficulty not set too high, but overly clever actions weren't allowed.

After a night's rest, Orion ventured into the Black Forest at dawn.

The Blackstone Tribe controlled a small area in the eastern part of the Black Forest, with a territory extending 100 kilometers around.

But for safety, Orion only dared to venture within a 10-kilometer radius.

This was Orion's first solo hunt, so he was cautious yet excited. It was a chance to prove his courage and strength.

Completing this solo hunt would surely earn him rewards from his parents.

Orion searched the forest and soon spotted a grazing elk.

But the elk was wary. Orion's large size made it impossible to mask his footsteps. As he approached, the elk sensed danger and fled.

Orion frowned and checked its information:

[Beast: Elk]

[Level: Standard]

[Weight: 470 pounds]

[Strength: 4]

[Agility: 12]

[Stamina: 5]

Traits: Elk are gentle herbivores with weak aggression, rarely initiating attacks. Their vigilance is high, and speed is their greatest advantage.

Given the elk's agility of 12, Orion couldn't hope to catch it with his current abilities.

In the Black Forest, beasts weren't scarce.

Soon, Orion encountered another elk.

This time, he held his breath and crept closer, but when he was 30 meters away, the elk turned and ran.

"So sensitive!"

Orion couldn't catch the elk, so he picked up his spear and threw it with force. The spear flew like an arrow through the trees, hitting the elk's neck with precision!

A lethal strike, the spear killed the elk instantly!

The quest progress updated, showing 1/10 for spear throwing mastery.

Orion took out a sharp knife and cut a piece of meat from the elk, eating it raw.

Before this, he had always eaten cooked food or processed jerky. Eating raw was a different kind of 'enjoyment.'

He quickly consumed 20 pounds of raw meat, completing the quest and gaining +1 strength.

The quest then changed.

[Newbie quest triggered: Drink 10 gallons of fresh beast blood, Strength +1]

Drinking blood... the bloodthirsty nature in his giant genes didn't mind it. Orion quickly drank the beast blood.

Afterward, his mouth was stained with blood, making him look like a fearsome ogre.

Though he looked terrifying, the feeling of increased strength was fantastic.
