The Bullsh*t System

In the wilderness, close to a now abandoned farm.

"MUUU!" The sounds of angry cows could be overheard.

*Drin* *Drin* *Drin* Sound of fast-moving bells could be heard, as they are attached to the necks of the cows.

And lastly, *Tuff* *huff* Sound of heavy footsteps and fatigue could be discovered by the person in front of the cows.

Running desperately for just one minute, Shu Himo eventually started to feel signs of fatigue.

"They really are desperate to eat me... they are also way faster so if I don't find a way to slow them they will catch up in less than thirty seconds..." Checking again his surroundings, Shu Himo belatedly felt a ray of hope. Around him there is nothing but in less than 40 meters he could enter the forest, where there are trees and other obstacles that can hinder the cows.

40...25...10 meters now...

*tud*

The noise of something crashing against Shu Himo's back is heard, and only thanks to the shock from it did he notice: the cows caught up! Unless he finds a solution in less than a single second is possible that they will be able to stop him! Using his fine senses of a novels reader he decided to let his instinct taking over him and abruptly turned around! Facing now the cow he unleashed his strongest kick, comparable to someone who never made sports. For pure luck, his kick hit the face of the cow, and as expected he dealt no damage at all!

But nothing is lost as his plan was not to damage the cow, but to use the cow as a springboard!

Shu Himo now gained an acceleration that made him fly into the forest, almost crashing into a tree but luckily avoiding it by a couple of centimeters, and he soon is about to fall on top of a big rock.

*stomp*

The sound of a collision, and presently on top of a big rock a human figure could be seen. The rock is as high as 2 meters, making it impossible for the cows to reach him. Now the realization of being safe finally hit him, and he now felt like celebrate the existence of this spot.

"Haha! You wanted to kill me but now see yourselves! You can't come up here can't you?" With a smile as bright as the sun, and as creepy as the night, Shu Himo taunted the cows, believing that they had no means to reach him.

Around him, apart from the rock, there are some trees, high from 2 to 6 meters.

Upon better look, he noticed that they were all small pine trees, most likely because they are on the outskirts of the forest, and did not get enough time to mature.

Now sitting to rest for a while, Shu Himo turned again to see the situation with the cows only to get astonished. "CowStairs!" Letting out a scream, Shu Himo now noticed that the cows are divided into two roles: the firsts are lying on the floor, while the second proceeded to climb on top of others, creating a stair made of cows to reach the top of the rock!

From the start, only about 3 minutes passed! And they will take no more than other 30 seconds to reach the rock!

"From when are cows that smart?!?" Dumbfounded by the events, Shu Himo hesitated for a moment but instantly recovered to think for a plan to escape. Recalling the trees around him he started to examine where he could jump for safety until he found a thick branch of the tree about a meter far from him.

*tod*

A footstep overheard from behind him made his face pale, and due to the shock, he reflexively jumped toward the branch, while feeling the movement of air behind his back: a cow almost grabbed him.

Once he went on top of the branch thanks to the jump he was about to let out a sigh of relief when he felt every hair on his body stand and, trusting his instinct he leaped down from the tree, falling toward the ground landing on some bushes, saving him from the impact.

*Boom*

The sound of something crashing resounded in all the proximity and once Shu Himo looked up toward the branch of the tree where he once was he could only see a cow with the head into the tree, struggling to break free, and almost breaking the neck due to the force of gravity.

Feeling chills behind his back considering what would have happened if he stayed on the tree, Shu Himo began to run again into the forest, abusing the time where all the cows are still immobilized due to their stair plan.

He kept running for more 2 minutes until he noticed an existence that left him terrified: if the cows were demons, he was now in front of the demon king, a Bear.

Upon sight of this monster high 3 meters, Shu Himo felt like losing all his blood, and now, with the cows behind and the bear in front, all hope seemed to be lost.

Refusing to give up Shu Himo decided to check again all the surroundings, and, apart from the usual trees he noticed a ray of hope descending upon him: a beehive on top of a tree close to the bear.

Having now a plan Shu Himo proceeded to take a small stone to take down the beehive, and using his high-level aim he threw the first stone... only to miss. Refusing to give up on his perfect plan, he threw more 3 stones, and only at the last one did he hit the beehive, which started falling in the middle of the distance separating the bear from Shu Himo.

Now, while the beehive was falling, the bear started to run toward Himo, which created the circumstance where the beehive hit completely the head of the bear, negating him vision while all the angry bees began to attack him, and this created for Shu Himo a chance! Restarting running from the cows which now almost caught up, he continued jumping from rock to rock using the worse possible terrain to slow the cows while using his agility to gain terrain.

Other 3 minutes passed, and Shu Himo suddenly saw a bright light in front of him: the forest was now gone! "What kind of forest is this small?" Panicking, he turned for a moment to see the cows that were around 30 meters of distance from him, and he also noticed a deer watching him from afar with an expression that felt like it was making fun of him.

Extremely annoyed from the deer, Shu Himo changed completely direction, making a turn of almost 90 degrees and shocking both the deer and the cows: while he now will be staying in the forest, with that direction the cows will have a high chance to catch him! But that was not the reason why the deer was shocked, in fact, he was now running toward the deer with an expression full of rage!

Threatened, the deer immediately turned around to run, only to find himself hit by a stone! Turning around, he noticed that the human he was making fun of was now fully armed with multiple stones while running from the cows and aiming at him! With an expression of disbelief, the deer started to slowly run from the human, half curious half scared from his behavior.

Shu Himo also managed to barely avoid the chasing cows, saving himself from being eaten alive.

This created a scene extremely bizarre: A deer chased by a human that is chased by tens of cows!

Later when the divinities checked the registration from the system they were all dumbfounded!

This continued for the remaining minutes until Shu Himo heard a *ding*

[Quest Success: Survive against the cows that you just saved!]

[Quest Difficulty: C-]

[Quest Reward: The right to be of the Beast race.]

"I did it!" Feeling happiness over the success, Shu Himo did not notice that everything around him was turning black and that he was beginning to lose consciousness.
