Episode 9: Strategy Time! (Wait, I Have to Use My Brain?!)

Previously…

Kulastog somehow survived fighting three armadillos… by accident. 😆

But now, a giant Dire Wolf has appeared, and this time… dumb luck won’t save him. 😱

Kulastog: "Okay, okay, focus! I can do this!"

Rei: "Statistically? No, you can’t."

Kulastog: "STOP HELPING."

The Ultimate Predator Appears!

-BLOODTHIRSTY DIRE WOLF-

🟥 HP: Too much.

🟨 Attack Power: One bite = Goodbye limbs.

🟦 Speed: Faster than Kulastog dodging responsibilities.

The Dire Wolf growled, teeth bared.

Kulastog: "Alright, so what’s the plan, coach?"

Rei: "Oh, now you want my advice?"

Kulastog: "YES, BECAUSE I LIKE HAVING ALL MY BODY PARTS."

Rei sighed.

"Fine. Step one: Don’t die. Step two: Try not to die. Step three: If step one and two fail, just—"

WHOOSH!

The wolf vanished.

Kulastog: "WHERE DID IT GO?!"

Rei: "Behind you."

Kulastog: "HUH?!"

BOOM!

The wolf’s tail SMACKED Kulastog so hard he did a full 360 spin in mid-air before face-planting into a tree.

🌳💥 CRASH!

Kulastog: "...I saw my great-grandpa for a second."

Rei: "Get up, dumbass. The wolf’s not done."

Kulastog peeled himself off the tree.

"Okay, okay, new strategy. Maybe I should… you know, actually think for once?"

Rei: "Oh wow. Character development."

Big Brain Mode Activated 🧠

Kulastog focused.

The wolf disappears before attacking… meaning it’s moving too fast to see.

It ALWAYS attacks from behind or the side.

It’s way too fast… unless I slow it down.

Kulastog smirked.

"Okay. I have a plan."

Rei: "…This should be good."

The "Genius" Plan

Kulastog stood still.

Rei: "…Are you just accepting death?"

Kulastog: "Shh. Let the magic happen."

The wolf saw its opening and STRUCK!

WHOOSH!

"NOW!"

Kulastog rolled forward at the last second!

BAM!

The wolf missed and slid past him!

Kulastog spun and shot an arrow!

🌀 BAM! It hit the wolf’s leg!

The wolf stumbled.

Kulastog: "HA! YOU’RE FAST, BUT YOU CAN’T RUN ON A BAD LEG!"

Rei: "Okay, I’m actually impressed. But also, you are STILL an idiot."

The Real Fight Begins!

The wolf howled angrily and charged again!

Kulastog grinned.

"Alright, try and catch me now!"

Step 1: Run in circles like an absolute maniac.

Step 2: Fire arrows in every direction.

Step 3: Scream internally.

Rei: "Okay, your ‘strategy’ is just panicking with extra steps."

Kulastog: "IT’S WORKING, ISN’T IT?!"

BAM! Another arrow hit the wolf’s other leg!

The wolf stumbled harder.

Kulastog: "YES! STRATEGY IS AMAZING!"

Rei: "Nine episodes. It took you NINE episodes to figure that out."

Final Attack!

The Dire Wolf, desperate, lunged for one last attack!

Kulastog: "OH CRAP—"

Rei: "DODGE, YOU IDIOT!"

WHOOSH!

Kulastog leaped up, spun mid-air, and fired a perfectly aimed shot—

💥 RIGHT INTO THE WOLF’S WEAK SPOT! 💥

BOOOOOOM!

The Dire Wolf collapsed.

Kulastog landed, breathing heavily.

"I… I DID IT!

Rei: "You actually pulled it off. I can’t believe it."

Kulastog smirked.

"Yup! All skill, baby!"

Rei: "That was, like, 90% luck."

Kulastog: "EXACTLY."

Level Up!

Kulastog has reached Level 25!

+5 Strength

+5 Agility

+10% Confidence Boost (Dangerous).

Wait… It’s Not Over?!

Just as Kulastog was about to celebrate…

THUD.

The wolf twitched.

Rei: "…Oh no."

Kulastog froze.

"Wait… it’s still alive?!"

The Dire Wolf’s body started glowing.

Suddenly, a deep, demonic voice echoed.

🔥 “YOU THINK IT’S THAT EASY?” 🔥

Kulastog: "UHHH… REI?? WHAT’S HAPPENING???"

The wolf’s eyes turned completely black.

It stood up.

It grew larger.

Fangs elongated.

Claws sharpened.

🔥 BLOODTHIRSTY DIRE WOLF – AWAKENED FORM! 🔥

Kulastog: "AW HELL NO—

Episode 10: FINAL BOSS FIGHT! (WHY IS IT STILL ALIVE?!)

Previously…

Kulastog thought he won against the Dire Wolf. But NOPE. Plot twist: IT HAS A SECOND FORM. 🔥🐺

The Wolf’s body expanded, claws sharpened, and its eyes turned pitch black.

🔥 BLOODTHIRSTY DIRE WOLF – AWAKENED FORM! 🔥

Kulastog: "Aw HELL NO—"

Rei: "Yeah, you’re gonna die."

Kulastog: "NOT HELPING!"

The Real Battle Begins!

The Dire Wolf howled. A wave of dark energy burst from its body, shaking the entire forest. 🌲🔥

Kulastog: "YEP, THIS IS BAD."

WHOOSH! The wolf vanished.

Kulastog: "WHERE DID IT GO?!"

Rei: "Above—"

💥 BOOOOOOM!

The Wolf came crashing down, claws first!

Kulastog barely dodged, rolling to the side. The impact was so strong it created a crater!

Kulastog: "DID IT JUST BREAK THE GROUND?! WHAT KIND OF CHEAT CODE—"

Clash of Speed vs. Panic!

Kulastog nocked an arrow and fired.

🚀 WHOOSH!

The Wolf dodged it with insane speed!

🔥 WHOOSH! It vanished again—

Kulastog: "OH COME ON!"

A blur appeared beside him.

⚡ SLASH!

Kulastog: "GAH!"

The Wolf's claws grazed his side, sending him flying into a tree! 🌳💥

Rei: "You okay?"

Kulastog: "I think I just met my ancestors for a second."

Rei: "Good, now get up before you meet them permanently."

Strategy Mode: ON! (Somehow)

Kulastog gritted his teeth.

"I need to slow it down… I need an opening!"

The Wolf growled, preparing another charge.

Kulastog quickly grabbed three arrows, holding them in one hand.

🔥 WHOOSH! The Wolf disappeared again!

Kulastog: "I KNOW YOUR TRICK NOW!"

Instead of dodging, he SPUN AROUND mid-air and fired all three arrows at once!

💥 THUNK! THUNK! THUNK!

One arrow hit its shoulder! The second grazed its leg! The third—

💥 BAM! RIGHT IN THE EYE!

🐺 "GRAAAAAAH!" 🐺

The Wolf howled in pain, thrashing wildly!

Rei: "Holy crap, you actually hit something!"

Kulastog: "SHUT UP AND CELEBRATE!"

Desperate Counterattack!

The Wolf went berserk, blindly slashing in all directions!

🔥 SWIPE! SWIPE! SWIPE! 🔥

Kulastog jumped, dodged, rolled— but then—

SMACK!

💥 He got backhanded by a giant paw and went flying into a bush.

🌿 CRASH!

Kulastog: "Oof— Okay, I'm still alive. Somehow."

Rei: "Lucky bastard."

The Finisher!

Kulastog pulled out his last arrow.

It was now or never.

🔥 WHOOSH!

The Wolf lunged for the final strike!

Kulastog: "EAT THIS!"

💨 WHOOSH!

🔥 BAM! RIGHT IN ITS HEART! 💥

🐺 "GRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH—"

The Wolf let out a deafening roar before its body began glowing…

Then— BOOM! 💥

The Dire Wolf disintegrated into golden light.

Kulastog collapsed, panting.

Kulastog: "…Did I win?"

Rei: "Somehow, yes."

Kulastog: "HOLY CRAP! I ACTUALLY GOT STRONGER!"

Rei: "Congrats. You’re now slightly less useless."

Kulastog: "Hey, hey, I'm basically an Archery God now."

Rei: "Bro, you still missed half your shots."

Kulastog: "DETAILS. DON'T RUIN MY MOMENT."

Mysterious Reward?

Just as they were about to leave…

A golden light appeared.

🌟 A glowing object floated in front of Kulastog.

Kulastog: "Ohhh… free stuff?"

Rei: "DON’T JUST GRAB RANDOM MAGIC ITEMS!"

Kulastog: "...Too late."

🔥 FLASH! 🔥

A deep, ancient voice echoed—

🔥 “You have defeated the Guardian of the Forest… You are now worthy.” 🔥

Kulastog: "Worthy? Worthy of WHAT?!"

The golden light entered his body.

🔥 A strange power surged through him! 🔥
