Cycle Paper 2

This is a short story that I have just made up with my imagination. It has nothing to do with my life what so ever.

The morning was quiet and uneventful as always. As I rose from my bed, I began to wonder if today will be the same as any other day; the usual, the norm, the same things that always happends. And as the day went on, it seemed to be another boring regular day. I ate my breakfast, put on my gear, and headed out as usual. Around noon, I had already taken out more monsters than I could count, which meant that I would earn more gold (something I have to much of already).

That's right, I'm nothing more than a mercenary, a bounty hunter, a man without a name. In this world, all we do is kill the beasts that have infected our planet, not something someone would be pround of. But I did the job, just for the sake of making a living. I can't be sure of it, but from all the rumours I have heard, I'm either one of the best, or THE best mercenary out there.

Now as I was saying, the day seemed uneventful (as always). But to my surprise, I had gotten a new mission, via my digital PDA. The mission was described as the following :

Dear unknown hunter,
A rare beast has appeared in the caves to the north. If not taken care of, it could destroy the very few cities that remain intact. Please take care of this matter.

PS. This monster is quite strong...it may even prove impossible for YOU to take it down..be warned.

As I read that I laughed to myself. There's no way any monster of any kind could kill me, after all, my skills were beyond exceptional. I decided to take on the quest...

After around three hours or so of traveling to the cave in which the beast was seen last, I won't lie to you, my legs were a little tired from all the walking and climbing. But tired legs wouldn't be enough to stop me from taking on this legenday creature.

As I neared the entrance, I could feel its presence. The creature was awake and was looking straight at me from inside the dark depths of the cave. Quickly I snuck around it and hit it dead on with my sword. I kept running around, dodging the monsters attacks, and hitting it with my own. BUT, to my shock, I found that I was doing nothing more than tickle the awesome beast. I never gave up, I kept going, thinking that I could slay it, but knowing that this may in fact be my final battle....

Now, here I am, nothing more than a ghost without a name. I'm here to tell you to NEVER underestimate your opponents. If you do...it just may cost you your life.
