Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

*Pichu*

I watched as the wooden stake sunk into the eye of the wolf, reaching deep inside.

Unfortunately, I could tell that it wasn't enough to kill the thing and would have just been an injury, meaning it could still fight.

knowing this, I found myself jumping back as I took the stake out of its eye before rolling on the ground, narrowly dodging the bite that was aimed at my head.

Seeing the bite and hearing the sound it had made when the maw closed onto nothing, I knew exactly what would have happened if my head was there.

A vision of a watermelon exploding played in my mind, subsequently causing a shiver to go down my spine.

Without hesitation, I swiftly jumped from my crouched position and rolled to the right, evading the claw of the wolf by a hairsbreadth.

This time, instead of simply staying in my crouched position, I found enough time to get up and stand opposite the wolf before walking around, both of us circling one another and not breaking eye contact.

Its ferocious eyes looked into my determined ones, a spark forming between the two of us as we both tried to calculate the other individual's next move.

Abruptly, I felt an enormous feeling of dread hit me, and as if I knew exactly what it meant I quickly tilted my head to the left by a few degrees.

A stinging burning pain began to come from my cheek as a tiny droplet of blood traveled down it.

For a split second, I saw it.

A razor-sharp black needle, barely the size of my index finger, shot past me at a blurring speed that I would have not caught if it was not so close to my face.

The needle was made out of deep black color, something I had instantly recognized to be the same color as the fur on the wolf's body.

'So it wasn't taking me seriously before huh...' I thought with anger boiling up inside me, or that was the only thing I could really explain it as being.

It was, just like many of my other emotions, something that I could not explain with proper words. It was something beyond my understanding and trying to explain it would have made it even more confusing.

However, at the moment I was not thinking about that. No...

The only thing I was thinking of at that very moment was how I could slice the wolf's throat and chop its head off for underestimating me as if I wanted to teach it one last lesson before ending everything it was with a single slash.

However, not only did I not have a blade to 'slash' it with, but I was also too slow and weak to get any closer, but it was then that it had hit me.

'Every time I'm in danger, I feel some kind of dread... It's as if I can feel that my life was about to slip out of my hands at the moment, and just like with the razor-sharp needle, or the hippo that had tried to bite my arm off on the first day or second day, I could dodge it in time to save myself by a hairsbreadth.

'If only I knew this before having allowed the lizard creature to rip off my arm.' I grunted, but still stood tall and unflinching at the gaze that the wolf was giving me.

If gazes could kill, I would have died a few hundred times by now.

'I need to kill that thing!'

Without hesitation, or to be more accurate, without me realizing, my entire body had been filled with a vigor that dulled my pains.

I moved with the speed of a top-notch athlete while watching the world around me slow down, every step feeling like an eternity as my feet moved forward, touched the ground, and sprung my body forward once again.

I had become oddly conscious of everything around me, from the leaf on the floor to the calmly dancing trees around us.

Of course in this area, there weren't as many trees as in other areas around here, but there were a few that I could easily take advantage of, something I did not hesitate to do when I saw the wolf's hair spiked up, another thing that I didn't realize had happened before.

I quickly ducked down and rolled to one of the trees beside me, allowing me to hear the soft thuds of multiple sharp needles hitting the ground that I was on before being aimed towards the tree, hitting them with a soft yet hollow sound.

'Wait...' My eyes widened in horror while my legs once again moved on their own.

I quickly sprung up my kicking my legs forward and dashed to a nearby tree that looked exactly like the tree that I was behind before.

I had made sure that I moved to my left and the wolf's right as that would have been his blind side, forcing him to turn his entire head to look at me, giving me a second to reach my desired location before getting shot in the behind.

The wolf had taken a moment to realize that I wasn't behind the tree, but at that moment he had already short almost 100 spiked hairs towards the tree, finally showing what I had been so horrified of.

After being shot at for a few seconds, the tree had already given out and had mostly crumbled before falling in the direction of the wolf.

'I knew it...'

The tree was dead.

I already realized this of course, but the same cannot be said about the wolf since it had run back a few dozen meters the moment it had seen that the tree was beginning to fall, something it did not expect to happen even though it had been shooting at it constantly with the aim to kill me.

In the moment of its distress, I had already run past the broken-down tree and through the dust cloud it had created.

As if I could see everything clearly, I shot toward the wolf that was just coming back to its senses and revealed myself by partially separating the cloud in the wave of my exit.

The dust could still be seen trailing off my body as if it was trying to cling on as I only got closer and closer to the wolf in front of me.

Its eyes quickly changed from surprise and shock to anger and rage. lunging at me without a second thought, something that would end up being its biggest mistake.

With all the energy and strength my feet could muster, I placed the tip of my foot onto the ground to its left, the side with its only remaining eye, before shifting my body to my right, narrowly avoiding the jaw that came for my chest with the intention of ripping me to shreds.

I heard a loud chomp as it snapped its maw shut in the area where my left arm would have been.

An agonizing pain shot through my body originating from my... left arm?

I couldn't understand.

In my moment of confusion, I had been frozen in place unable to move.

The pain was comparable to when I had my entire arm eaten off, but how is that possible?

I don't have a left arm anymore, so that shouldn't be possible, right?

I didn't even feel the same dread that I would have right before being hit.

Maybe the whole dread thing was a lie I had deceived myself into believing?

Maybe I had put too much into a theory I was not even sure was true yet.

I was just a normal human after all.

What kind of normal human has a spidey sense that allows them to avoid danger!

I'm not a superhero!

I'm just a normal guy...

I was quickly kicked out of my confused state and thrown into the real world by another dreaded feeling. This time it was more of a pressure, a pressure that pushed me in a certain direction, a direction I did not hesitate to move in.

I once again watched the maw travel past me with an immense speed which would have been a blur to my eyes if I didn't have so much adrenaline running through me that made me perceive everything so much more clearly.

As the wolf's open maw swooshed past me, I could feel its razor-sharp tooth nicking the tip of my nose and causing me to bleed slightly, yet unlike before, this was not enough to cause me to freeze in my spot.

My eyes flashed with boiling rage and a wave of what I would later learn was killing intent, shot out of my body.

With the determination to kill burned brightly within my eyes, allowing me to take the final decision of lowering my already raised arm into the remaining eye of the wolf before me.
