On the planet of the forgotten star, the space and time was not in order. At times it would turn dark, at times bright as day. The sky was covered with brown clouds, and Ethan was sure the air wasn't safe for breathing.
How did he manage to breathe easily on this planet? It must be the system. Since this place was where he would do his dungeon raid, of course the air would be safe for only him.
Ethan set out again, exploring the ruins. He didn't know why, but today he could feel a pair of eyes staring at him. He was on high alert, as there could be hidden danger here.
On his way while exploring, he encountered 5 void eyed hounds. Ethan moved quietly as he quickly summoned the ork chief. "Time to put you to test," Ethan said. The ork chief moved swiftly. The void eyed hounds sensed its presence.
They lunged at it with crushing force.
Bang Bang. The ork chief was strong as it used his war hammer to wipe 2 hounds. Their ribs shattered and they spat blood. But he was a bit slower than the hounds — the other 3 pounced on its head and ribs.
Bang. Even if the ork was dead, it still felt the pain.
Ethan saw a green HP bar above the ork's head.
[HP: 50] — after the punch it was reduced to [HP: 40]. Ethan knew the ork would level up in future, so he was willing to invest in it. At least it could become a heavenly beast.
The problem though was that the ork consumed 2 mana points per minute. With his current stats, he could only sustain the ork for about 10 minutes. He could still manage it since he had mana potion.
Bang bang. The battle was becoming more and more stressful for the ork chief.
Bang. It hit one of the void eyed hounds on the head, smashing it into bloody paste.

Ethan viewed its stats. The beast soul was decent. It will be very useful to him in the future. After 6 minutes the ork chief had defeated all the void eyed hounds as he had just tore one into two like tofu, guts and matter splashing everywhere. The ork chief now had 120 exp additional.

Ethan called it back, it would take about 15 minutes to get back to its prime. Drinking a mana potion, he restored his mana to full bar. Ethan cut and cleaned the meat of the hounds. He was going to see how he could manage to eat it. If he could breathe poisoned air, what about poisoned meat?
6 hours later Ethan continued deep into the ruins and also checking room to room. Of course, he encountered about 10 hounds on his way but he easily handled them.
Since they couldn't hurt him with his lightning armour on, he just slaughtered them like the animals they are. It also earned him hundred exp.

Now the exp the void eyed hounds were giving him was reducing. Ethan knew this since they were easy for him to kill now.
After walking for another hour, he spotted a tall tower at the center of the ruins but it was too far from Ethan — it would take at least a day for him to reach it, not to talk of the void eyed hounds. The more he went deeper, the more plenty they became.
"Strange," Ethan thought.
Later that day, it was now night. Ethan was seen fighting 15 void eyed hounds in a large hall below what looked like a citadel. He summoned the ork chief as the two fought with all they have got.
Bang bang bang. Ethan cut 3 hounds' heads. His star sword technique was immense as he had perfected level 1. The sword was crushing space, making it hard for the hounds to move. The ork chief was just cutting down the hounds like a berserker.
It took them five minutes to finish the horde. These hounds weren't like the earthly orks he slaughtered like harvesting grapes. These hounds were much better.
Checking his stats Ethan found out that the hounds now gave him only 5 exp, which was disappointing. Meanwhile, the ork chief still gained its normal 30 exp. After slaughtering 5 hounds, it gained 150 exp.
