Adventuring Other-Worlds with the Adapting System 7 Fight part 1

Suddenly, an arrow hit the deer in the throat. The arrow made no noise before it hit.

The deer quickly shot up and tried to run but before it could take a step, the arrow embeded inside it's neck exploded into a raging tornado.

After the tornado died down, the corpse of the deer fell to the ground.

100 meters away, atop a tree, Axel lowered his bow. He grinned and said, "2 weeks of training with Olivia and now, I can shoot from 100 meters away with 90% accuracy."

Axel stored his bow and climbed down the tree. It's been 2 weeks after he began training with Olivia.

During the first couple days, Olivia taught him the basics on the weapons he choose. In return, Axel tried to teach her how to cook.

After learning the basics, Olivia told him to start learning the bow first. After memorizing proper stance and technique, he started hunting normal animals to put what he learned to the test.

With each animal he hunted, his familiarity with the bow grew stronger. After a couple hunting sessions, he felt subtle changes in his archery. When he asked the system what it was, it told him it was the skill attempting to help him and that he should let it.

Thanks to that, he became able to hit anything in a 100 meters.

However, his training slowed down. It took four days before he could actually feel the skill help him with the sword and even longer for the dagger.

Axel jumped to the ground and dusted himself off. His clothes were practically destroyed as holes were everywhere. He ignored how he looked and ran to his game.

Axel was surprised when he arrived because Olivia was crouched in front of the deer.

"Nice, a Gust deer. I heard th" Olivia was about to finish her sentence went she turned around and saw Axel, wearing scraps of cloth.

She blushed as she could see Axel's slightly chiseled body. Olivia felt her body heat up as she slightly bit her lip.

Shaking her head, she coughed and said, "Axel, you should get new clothes. Those are ruined."

Axel finally noticed that the clothes he was wearing were nothing but rags now. He rubbed his head in embarrassment and quickly left before she could say anything.

Olivia only sighed before storing the gust deer and walked back to the camp grounds.

In a tent, Axel sat on his sleeping bag as he spoke to the system.

"System, open the store."

A screen popped up in front of Axel. However, the screen that floated in front of him was different than normal as it looked like an online store back on earth.

He skimmed all the tabs which represented types of stuff up for purchase and clicked the tab labelled, 'Clothing'. It only took a couple seconds for an almost endless amount of clothes to show up.

Axel felt a headache coming on as he sorted the clothes by price, lowest to highest. Most of the low price clothes were from earth, even reaching as low as 1 system point.

After a couple minutes, he found a good pair of clothe and clicked purchase.

[Deducting 163 system points…]

The system informed him that his purchase was inside his inventory.

He quickly disposed of his old clothes and wore the new pair. He pulled a mirror from the bag Olivia gave and looked himself over.

Axel's hair grew slightly while his skin had gained a healthy gloss. His body put on some noticeable muscle, making him look healthier than before. Paired with a black suit, he looked extremely suave.

He grinned and arrogantly said, "Who's that handsome man?"

Suddenly, Axel clutched his stomach as he started hysterically laughing. He said, "Hahaha!!! I… I can't!!!"

After a couple seconds, he stopped and said, "System, show me my status."

With a slight nod, Axel closed the screen and walked outside.

Olivia stood before the campfire as she roasted some meat. She was so focused on the roast that sweat dripped from her forehead.

Axel sat down next to the fire as he watched her cooking diligently. While looking at her face, he became dazed as he remembered the 2 weeks that just passed.

He reminisced about all the little things, like the jokes they said to each other and how she talked about her family and friends. He, on the other hand, talked about all kinds of stories from earth, completely enamoring her.

He especially remembered the shock he got when he found out she was a year older than him. When she saw he didn't believe her, she revealed that she was disguised with a transformation spell so she could travel without worrying about being kidnapped.

When she removed the spell, what replaced the little girl was a beautiful teenage girl. She had brunette hair that grew to her waist and jade green eyes. She was slightly shorter than Axel and her body curved in and out in all the right places. With all these features paired with her gentle and graceful looks, there was only one way to describe her. Drop-dead gorgeous.

There is only one thing that made Axel want to faint. Based on the memories of the prince and Olivia's reminder, people like her aren't considered beautiful. While she isn't considered ugly, she also wasn't a beauty. She was considered… average.

When he learned of this, Axel screamed injustice to the sky as he kept yelling about her being extremely beautiful, forgetting that Olivia was standing in front of him.

Ever since that day, Olivia's treatment towards Axel slightly changed. Axel, however, hasn't realised this, much to Olivia's dissatisfaction. She also hasn't used the transformation spell since then.

As Axel watched in a daze, a pair of hands pulled his cheeks as a voice said, "Idiot! I said the foods ready! Hurry up!"

Snapping back to reality, what lay before him was a salad, some water and a leg of roasted meat.

Olivia held her hands as she waited for him to eat. Axel acted completely unperturbed by this and began eating. After a couple bites of the food, he looked at the anxious Olivia, smiled and said, "This is great. You've really come far from when you completely burnt the food."

Olivia was delighted when she heard the first part of his comment but she did a complete 180 when she heard the rest. She pouted and said, "I thought we agreed to not talk about that."

Scratching his nose, Axel smiled sheepishly and said, "Sorry."

Suddenly, a screen appeared before Axel.
