Chapter 38: Player Fox
Four more days passed, and thanks to the system, Mike was able to stand up again on the fourth day.
The broken hand was healed by Lasa.
And the system also helped with Mike's recovery — since Mike healed faster, wounds weren't really the problem.
It was his endurance — for a few days, he had none at all.
But now, he could finally walk again.
In the morning, Mike was woken up by Lasa.
At that moment, Mike was still in the hospital for the S.A.L.
He stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, held Lasa's hand, and got up again. At first, he wobbled a bit, then stood straight.
Mike looked happy — finally walking again!
Then he said,
"Lasa, let go of my hand, okay?"
She replied,
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes!"
She let go.
Mike still stood firm.
He shouted,
"Yesssss!"
Then he saw a new system message:
Congratulations, Player Wolf!
You have successfully defeated Player Eagle.
Player Eagle is no longer available to level up.
Now, just 3 more like this — go, Player Wolf!
Main Quest

Kill all players

Reward = ?????
It's worth it to keep leveling up!
There will be many battles.
Believe in yourself, Wolf!
Mike collapsed.
He really had to kill all the players.
Of the remaining three… he had to eliminate them.
He tried to take a step — and fell.
He hit the ground.
Lasa caught him.
She said,
"Mike, maybe we should wait a bit longer?"
He replied,
"NO!"
He stood back up and walked — one step after another — to the door.
Then he walked back to the bed, sat down and said:
"Yesss, I did it!"
Lasa cheered:
"YEAH, MIKE! YOU CAN WALK AGAIN!"
Then a doctor entered the room.
"Um, Mike… you got a letter here… from…"
The doctor paused.
"From the base."
"Okay, thanks," Mike said, taking the letter.
Hello Mike,
We've made a decision:
You're allowed to continue with the training.
It was confirmed to be self-defense.
He attacked first and tried to kill you.
We're looking forward to having you back.
Someone here wanted to greet you:
"Hi — from Baz. Come back safe."
(The Base)
Mike grinned and showed the letter to Lasa.
The doctor was about to leave the room, but Mike stood up.
"Can I go home now?" he asked.
"Thanks to my healing magic friends, all wounds are gone — just my energy is still a bit low."
The doctor nodded,
"I'll check with someone real quick."
A few minutes later, she returned.
"Okay, you're cleared for release!"
"YES!"
Mike and Lasa went to visit Kad and Giel for a moment and told them about the shapeshifter.
They all agreed on a password — something to say in case of doubt.
Then Mike and Lasa went home.
At home, Mike took a deep breath.
"Finally home again," he said.
"Yeah," Lasa replied.
Then Mike added,
"I'll grab something to eat. I can walk again now."
"I'll go to the store right there, okay?"
"Okay, I'll stay here," Lasa replied.
"Alright," Mike said, as he opened the door and stepped outside.
A few minutes later, Mike received a…
