Idle Money System

His breath was heavy as he ran like crazy in the path leading to Aeloria's place. Alexander, with his keen senses, heard this of course. So, he stopped eating and glanced at that direction.

Sensing him stop, Aeloria was confused, so she also shifted her gaze and saw a man she was familiar with. It was a man that seemed like a middle-aged one. He was malnourished with unkept hair, and his face was filled with black lines and dark circles.

"Aeloria, this is an emergency, the beasts are invading again. Hurry and gather at the village chief's place," the man shouted, as he increased his pace.

When he arrived, he saw something that surprised him, "This, where did she have this much food?" he mumbled inwardly.

But when he saw there was a man, which he clearly remembered yesterday who accompanied Anya back, he realized this man must be a hunter. Now this clearly explains the situation.

Seeing his expression, which was terrified a while ago, and his hasty voice, she panicked as well so she did not finish her meal.

"Alex, we should hurry now, the beast is attacking the village again," she uttered as she held Anya's hands strongly as she stood up from her seat.

Alexander did not dilly-dally as well and stood up. Even though he was not afraid, his mission was to protect the village. Even if there was no mission involving saving the lives of the villagers, he would still help.

"Sure, let's go now," he replied as all of them left the place.

As they ran down the path leading to the village, three wolves suddenly appeared in their sight. The beasts bared their teeth, snarling with menace. Anya, Aeloria, and the man were terrified at the sight of the wolves.

As the wolves pounced, fear gripped them, and they instinctively stepped back. The man, was frozen in panic, he even stumbled and fell to the ground. Anya, however, remained calm, watching without fear, knowing they would be alright.

She was right. As one of the wolves lunged, Alexander moved like a bullet, swinging his arm. His blow struck the wolf's face, which distorted as the sickening sound of flesh tearing filled the air. The other two wolves, who are still in mid-air, were momentarily stunned. But Alexander wasted no time.

He turned to the next wolf and delivered a powerful uppercut to its chest, sending it flying upwards. In one swift motion, he kicked the wolf in its exposed side, launching it like a broken toy into a nearby tree. The force of the impact shattered its spine.

It took exactly three seconds as the three of them died, without even having the chance to fight back. Alexander then motioned them to continue running. The two were shocked from how fast he was to clear these three beasts.

"Is this man a warrior? Finally we are saved for now," he said, filled with happiness as he trembled with excitement.

"He's actually this strong," Aeloria mumbled with an astonishing expression.

Without thinking any further, they pressed on toward the village. When Alexander and the others arrived, they saw a horrifying sight, beasts were attacking from all sides, they are too many to be counted.

The bodies of the villagers lay scattered on the ground, their organs and flesh torn were apart and being devoured by the beasts.

Alexander spotted a variety of creatures like, wolves, bears, flying monsters, and even snakes. His brow furrowed as he wondered what could be attracting such a diverse horde to this place.

As he gazed at the lifeless bodies of the villagers, a surge of anger welled up inside him, and his killing intent flared. He fought to keep control, knowing it would be dangerous to lose himself to rage now.

"Go and gather in a safe place. I'll handle this," Alexander said, his voice steady as he moved swiftly, disappearing within seconds.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Aeloria was about to speak, but Alexander had already vanished from her sight. She just nodded and led the group to safety. Nearby, a man was desperately crawling on the ground, tears streaming down his face as he clutched his injured thigh, which had been savagely scratched by sharp claws.

As he struggled to survive, a flying creature that is part crow, part eagle, swooped down toward him. Hearing its screech from above, he knew his time had come.

"I lived a good life," he muttered, closing his eyes as the creature's claws closed in on him. Continue your journey with empire

Suddenly, Alexander appeared in a gust of wind. With a punch carrying the force of at least 30,000 pounds, he struck the creature in the chest, sending it hurtling like a cannonball. It crashed into the ground, leaving a trail of dirt in its wake.

[You killed a level 11 Skyhawk. You've gained 11 exp.]

The man, realizing he had been saved, was about to express his gratitude. But before he could, Alexander was already gone, moving like lightning as he massacred every beast in his path. It seemed as if he was teleporting, appearing at each creature that crossed his sight, leaving destruction in his wake.

Alexander moved like a phantom, crushing his enemies each time he appeared. A silver wolf lunged at him, but with a single punch, the beast was sent flying. A snake attempted to coil around him, but he casually sidestepped and grabbed its tail. With a powerful grip, he swung the snake like a whip.

As the snake's massive body spin through the air in a circular motion, it slammed into the two silver wolves and the Skyhawk that were charging at him, causing them to stumble backward. Alexander then yanked the snake's tail, pulling its head toward him in a daze.

In a precise motion, he raised his right hand and brought it down with immense force, like a hammer. The blow struck the snake's head, pinning it to the ground. The earth trembled under the impact, sending shockwaves and causing the ground to quake.

Suddenly, Alexander spotted an old woman running slowly, he can see that she was being pursued by three wild boars, each much larger than normal. Their sharp tusks glistened, and it was clear that one strike could end the woman's life.

"You dare!!!" Alexander roared, his voice booming. His feet slammed into the ground, creating cracks like a spider's web, and he shot forward like a bullet, closing the distance in an instant.

Alexander reached the boar closest to the old woman just in time. With a powerful kick, he struck its exposed side, sending it flying like a car hit by a truck. Without hesitation, he twisted his waist and swung his leg sideways, striking the two other boars that were still stunned.

The impact collided with their heads, slamming them together as they tumbled across the ground.

"Are you alright, ma'am?" Alexander asked, concerned.

The old woman turned and smiled warmly, reaching out to gently touch his cheek, "Young man, I'm fine. Thank you for saving these old bones of mine," she said gratefully.

Alexander just smiled back, "You should head to a safe place now, I can't stay with you this time," he replied, his eyes scanning the bushes and trees where more beasts were emerging.

The old woman nodded, "Take care, young man," she said, continuing her slow walk away.

Without a second thought, Alexander sprinted toward the approaching wave of beasts, fearless and relentless.

The system chimed in his mind: [Berserker Instinct activated].

His eyes glowed a bloodthirsty red, and his killing intent flooded the area. Most beasts would normally hesitate or flee, but not this time. These creatures held their ground, stunning him for a brief moment.

With no time to reconsider, Alexander charged into the fray, confronting the beasts head-on.

The first beast lunged at Alexander, a monstrous boar with tusks as sharp as spears. Alexander just sidestepped with lightning speed, his fist crashing into the boar's side with the force of a runaway train.

The beast let out a pained roar as it was sent flying, crashing into a tree with a sickening thud.

Before he could catch his breath, another beast, a wolf-like creature with glowing eyes pounced on him. Alexander didn't flinch.

Instead, he delivered a powerful uppercut, sending the wolf sprawling back, its body convulsing from the impact.

He spun around just in time to dodge the claws of a third beast, a massive bear with fur like steel.

Alexander's fists moved in a blur, each punch landing with bone-crushing force. The bear roared in fury, but Alexander's relentless barrage left it no chance to strike back. A final, thunderous punch to its jaw sent the massive creature toppling over, utterly defeated.

Despite the overwhelming number of beasts, Alexander didn't even break a sweat. His strength was far beyond anything these creatures could match.

He tore through the ranks of the beasts, every move a deadly combination of speed and power. Blood and fur flew in all directions as one by one, the beasts fell at his hands. Yet the onslaught continued, more and more creatures charged at him, their numbers seemingly endless.

The ground was already littered with the bodies of fallen beasts. Suddenly, the sky darkened above him as a swarm of flying creatures descended, aiming to tear him apart.

Alexander caught the claw of the flying creature mid-air, his eyes was glinting slightly. With tremendous force, he slammed it down, creating a small crater where the beast's body lay flattened.

"System, isn't my Berserker Instinct skill active? Why aren't these weaker beasts hesitating or fleeing at all?" Alexander asked, delivering a sharp jab to the chest of a cobra-like snake.

The impact was so powerful that it killed the creature instantly.

As Alexander continued his rampage, unaware of how many beasts he had slain, the system finally responded.

[The reason your skill isn't working is because the beasts are hypnotized. You can identify this by their glowing red eyes.]

This revelation made Alexander pause for a moment, glancing at the creatures. Sure enough, their eyes glowed a sinister red as they charged at him, without hesitation. Questions filled his mind.

"There's a mastermind behind this," he muttered, as he unleashed a powerful palm strike against a wolf's chest, sending it flying backward.

The force of the blow also knocked back the rest of its pack that was right behind it.

Despite the chaos, Alexander's thoughts were racing. Who or what was controlling these beasts?

Alexander hadn't drawn his sword yet, reserving it as his trump card in case there was a hidden enemy. Suddenly, a blade as thin as a needle but sharp as a knife came hurtling toward him.

Already on high alert, Alexander noticed it immediately. With a quick lean to the side, he dodged the blade effortlessly. His eyes narrowed as he glanced at a tree hidden by thick leaves.

"Found you," Alexander said, grinning from ear to ear, before launching himself like a cannonball, leaping toward the tree where the attack had come from.
