I was lying on a branch of a thick tree. It was so dark that you can only see a dim light of a candle for example and the sound similar to crickets can be heard as well.
Luckily I adapt the ability to see in the dark, thanks to the forest Jagras. I asked system why the monsters are so noisy.
{In evening, the monsters are active and twice as stronger than the morning, it`s better to be careful}.
I heard howls and growls from the monsters around me. Even thou I am at the top of a tree, they steel chased me. I asked system why I only encounter two types of monsters.
{In this area you can only encounter Forest Shakalakas and Jagras, so if you`re bored, hunt them, kill them and collect materials, you can gain level as well. You're not tired right?}
That is what she answered to me, she is so straightforward, really. But yes, it was better to do that. I was bored so I counted some sheep jumping on a fence.
System navigated me to the monsters location, I was leaping from one tree to another and I was faster than the monsters that I consumed.
With the speed I have, I quickly arrive to the place where she told me. Jagras and Shakalakas were gathering, travelling by groups and packs.
As always I used my combination of skills, I easily annihilated them and to be honest I was bored, I`m not getting arrogant but they were really too weak for me now. Because of boredom I asked system, if there are only two types of monsters in this forest.
{Of course not! this area is the habitat of weak monsters, you're not ready yet. Some monster have strong resistance and you have only few skill in your arsenal for now. So you need to gain more levels.}
By leaping one tree to another, I only used Water spears, arrows, and javelins. Every monsters that I passed immediately died. The average level of the monsters around me was only 5- 10 and my level is already 26, so the experience points that I gain was small.
{Hey, Ryu! don't you ever think that you are already powerful. Stay alert and don't be too over confident.}
I know that but to be honest, I was really bored.
I continued killing monsters nonstop until the sun has risen, I never get tired and my level also reached 54.
The sun was up, I sat down in an area where there were grass, cooking the meat of the monsters I slayed. I only encountered Forest Shakalakas and Forest Jagras, they give me low, but the meat they offered to me tastes good.
When I was enjoying my breakfast time, System talked to me suddenly.
{You're lucky you have poison resistance.}
I tilted my head and just realized that I was eating the meat of a monster and didn't even clean it well, I only washed in the river. What she meant was the food was poisonous. I told her why didn't she told me earlier.
{Sometimes you're dumb. Why should I warn you? You have poison resistance right?"}
Again, what a straight answer. I lowered my head in shame because of what she said.
While grilling the meat, a gust of wind passed and pushed the fire towards my palm. System immediately talked.
{You have absorbed fire. You're affinity and resistance to fire acquired.}
I was shocked again but smiled instantly. I stood up and test my new element, I chanted a spell and felt a little bit of heat, it made me excited, I was jumping like a small child that received a box of chocolate.
Flames came out from my palm, the color was different it was black, system noticed my curiosity so she talked.
{You're flames are different than the others and that kind of fire doesn't exist in this world. So be thankful about it. You have two elements now and a handful of skills. We can proceed to higher level monsters}.
With her announcement I wanted to cry, I was dying to meet stronger monsters to gain higher experience and new materials as well.
I walked to a place that is like a swamp, it was so muddy so I decided to travel by using the trees.
It was still morning but the swamp was so dark and foggy.
I was about to leap the other tree but monsters finally showed up, they hissed like a snake then I immediately used analyze.
"Forest Girros"
Level: 40
The forest Girros are snake-like monster with a head and hood similar to a cobra. They have black onyx scales with yellow stripes on their neck. Girros also have red gill-like organs on the side of their neck.
Immediately I used water javelin, it was a perfect hit but what I saw caused my eyes to open wide. It was unhurt then system warned me right away.
{Ryu they are immune to water attacks! We are lucky that you came here with a new element! They also have an ability "Paralyzing Venom". Be careful you are not immune to paralyze ailment yet!}
Their technique was a sneak attack, they hide behind the trees while spitting their venoms, but with my speed I manage to dodge them. Damn! This monsters are aggressive!
I quickly used my new skill, FIRE ARENA. The area was surrounded by flames shaped into an arena.
I accidentally burned the nearby trees, they lose their trump card by using doing a surprise attack, and when they were exposed in front of me I quickly countered them.
By using fire javelin and spears, the monsters was pierced one by one, I clearly hear their cries but sorry, this is what life is.
After few minutes the remaining monsters started to flee. I cleaned up the battlefield by consuming their dead corpses. I also gained PARALYZING VENOM and their swiftness too.
My level reached 64, it was a great harvest for me. I also receive the ailment and resistance of paralyze.
I crafted new weapon by using the fangs of the forest Girross, it shaped like a kunai 30 cm long and 10 cm wide.
After that, I was sitting on the ground where the battle happened, when I was done preparing I was about to leave, out of nowhere a large monster showed up.
