A skill that gives buff to all colleagues, is perfect for party fights. That means Roxy also grew stronger when I used this skill.
“Roxy, courage!.” I say activate skill.
The dog barked in return.

My body felt lighter and the weakness also disappeared. The skill effect only lasted for one minute, so we had to quickly face the Minimarket area resident monsters
As usual Roxy advanced first. Since her agility is better than mine, Roxy has always been a decoy while I will attack monsters from behind once monsters target Roxy.
‘Badah I have three jobs that should be strong, but somehow I can not surpass the agility of Roxy.’
I kept watching as Roxy walked closer and closer to the Minimarket. The feeling of danger slowly began to grow, but I still did not know where the monsters that inhabited this area were.
The feeling grew stronger until I felt my body start to creep. ‘But.... But where is it?’ I could not confirm the existence of the monster, the feeling was so strong and scattered as if it was in every corner, making the existence of the monster difficult to detect.
“Sial, at a time like this...”.
The buzz in my head was getting louder, it felt like my head wanted to break.
The sakin feeling I felt back in the left eye socket further worsened the condition.
It reminds me of a time when I was a child with toothache. I felt a lot of pain, but there was nothing I could do to relieve the pain.
The longer the pain is allowed to spread, my ears become so sensitive, my head starts to feel dizzy, my eyes are not strong to see bright light.
Everything I see.
Everything I hear.
Everything around me, as if making the suffering I was experiencing more severe.
Worse than that is losing sanity because of uncontrolled emotions.
***
A barking sound rang out, Roxy barked at me.
I was disturbed and I screamed too. “Foolish dog, shut up!.” yells full of anger, but Roxy did not heed, he barked even louder, making the pain I felt even more excruciating.
I could not stand up until I finally fell to my knees on the ground while enduring the pain.
Roxy started running towards me. The dog is starting to piss me off.
The sound grew stronger as Roxy approached, my ears buzzing painfully. The knife in my hand held firmly, I felt I could no longer bear all this.
In the past when the toothache I felt was too severe, making my emotions out of control. As a result, I acted recklessly in a way to hurt myself.
Slapping my cheek or hitting my own head, I did all of that to ease the pain I felt. But the result is just the opposite, the pain is getting worse.
With my eyes closed withstanding the pain, I swung the knife in my hand. Next Roxy's crying voice rang out, making the annoying barking she made to a halt.
My body was pushed when Roxy hit me, making me bounce a few meters from the original position, the pain of the collision made me even more condemn this dog.
After that Roxy no longer moved, the two fell silent with half-opened eyes as if holding back the pain. Blood flowed in his stomach from the slash of the blade.
Seeing that I was silent for a moment.
Every time I feel a toothache, I act rashly by hurting myself. Everything I do makes the pain worse.
Roxy's barking makes me sicker, but do the actions I take to stop her make me better?.
“No..... what have I done...”.
I am so sorry to have attacked the only friend who accompanied me in this broken world.
The wound I gave him was so wide that the blood did not stop coming out. I'm so freaked out, what do I do to save Roxy?.
As I panicked, the sound of insects rang out in the front direction. The bahasaan that I had previously felt in the entire area now only showed one direction.
That place was the place where I previously stood. The field boss I was looking for had been the monster in over my own head all along.
A spider as big as a buffalo watching kept watching with its eight eyes. The monster looked furious as if it had failed to deliver an attack.
“Wait, could the Roxy from earlier continue to bark at me intending to give a warning?.”
Knowing that fact made me feel even more guilty. Roxy was willing to endanger herself to save me, but in return I gave her a deadly wound.
The spider attacked again, from five meters away he shot a thread at me.
Because the distance and speed of the attack made me unable to dodge, the spider thread managed to stick to Roxy's body in my arms.
The spider quickly pulled back the thread, snatching Roxy from me. As soon as Getting Roxy, the spider immediately rose to the top using a thread, The monster walked so quickly through the thin thread.
“Fuck, give him back!.” I frantically chased the spider.
While running the spider rolls Roxy's body with a web, making it a cocoon and binding it hanging with another cocoon on top of the power tower.
"I have to save Roxy."
After that the spider turned his attention to me, now it was my turn that he would cocoon.
But surely I will not let that happen, “Wait for me Roxy, I will save you!.” I shouted
Although I know that spiders are stronger than all the monsters I've encountered before. Plus there's currently no help from Roxy, can I fight it?.
“I can definitely...” I tried to convince myself.
“No, I should be able to do it, otherwise then I will regret my actions today my whole life!.”
Strong determination.
For Roxy, I have to win, there is no choice for defeat. Even if I can't win the fight, then it doesn't mean I'm alive. I cannot live with the guilt that will haunt me.
The spider attack came, I was ready to deal with it.
