Chapter 2 - [The Pack]

Harry stared at the screen that was in front of him for a few seconds before trying to leave the forest only to see that the sky was red and there wasnt a soul around and when he tried to walk even further he reached a invisible wall and a screen popped up.

[You Cannot Leave The Area Till You Defeat The Boss]

As he gazed around he decided to go back into the forest and started running through the forest only to come across a zombie. "Observe" Harry whispered hoping it would work like calling out his status. He was delighted when a screen did come out.

As Harry realised that the zombie was stronger than him but slower he decide to make a plan to kill it. As he started to run to the zombie it make a loud screeching noise and nine other zombies started walking into the clearing as he turned around to run he saw another behind him and started running back to the first zombie.

As the zombie tried to hit Harry he put all his weight on his right foot and kicked the zombie in the head.

[CRITICAL! -600Hp!]

As the zombie crumbled in front of him he started sprinting at the next zombie in his sight and once again spun and roundhouse kicked the zombie in the nuts.

[CRITICAL! -550Hp! Stun Effect Applied!]

As the zombie fell in front of him he sprinted at the next zombie and fell over a thick branch and got swarmed by zombies as he was getting swarmed he looked for a way out and realized that he was trapped as he saw he was trapped he started to panic and curl up into a ball. As he wanted to get out his mana responded by accidental magic, Apparating out of there he was knocked out of his musings by a loud crack followed by a *Ping!*.

As he saw that he was out of the horse he stood back up on shaking legs when suddenly a wave of warmth washed over him, calming him down and letting him think calmly. As he looked as he looked back at the zombies and saw a massive crater. As he walked over to edge of the crater he saw all the zombies corpses moving into the middle of the crater and it was covered in a green light, once the light died down a new zombie was standing there. So Harry cast an [Observe] on it.

As Harry looked at the screen he finally realised how much of his magic had been locked away, as he turned around and ran as the Brute let out a mighty roar, as harry ran through the forest he jumped behind a fallen log quickly set up his points into his stats.

As he quickly read through that screen with widening eyes because he could hear the brute coming, he quickly jumped out from behind the fallen log and ran at the brutes back and jumped up on it and wrapped his arms around the brutes neck and forced as much mana as he could outside his body but held it and he started glowing blue with his long hair flying upwards and expelled it out of his body and Apparated outside the blast radius and he heard a loud roar of pain and a *Ping!* before he fell unconscious.

{The Next Day}

As Harry opened his eyes, a blinding light shine into his eyes and he needed to squeeze them shut as he started blinking his eyes and wiped the tiredness out of them. As he tried to sit up he realised he couldn't and saw that there was small cat like creatures sleeping on him. As he resigned on trying to get up he looke at the screen the was in front of him.

As he swiped his hand through it, turning it to mist, he looked at all the screen that bombarded him and started looking at them.

As Harry gazed at the list he silently cursed himself for not studying more as he didnt know what half of these were, he decided to not touch the ones he didn't know the meaning of so [Depressed], [Wrath], [Lust] and [Sloth] were out. He looked them over and decided that he didn't want to be weak if another Brute showed up so [Weak] was out. That only left [Pride], [Gluttony] and [Greed].

As Harry gazed at the list he decided he didn't want to be prideful in case he turned out like his cousin so he chose [Greed] and [Gluttony] and pressed continue.

As Harry looked at the two 'Defects' he looked down at Louise (The Kneazle) and briefly wondered what would happen if he at her, as he was contemplating life he was interrupted by a growl beside him, as his head snapped to his left he cast an observe on instinct and was suprised on what he saw.

As he finished reading the the Kages stats a flash of fear went through him before Gamers Mind could stop it, he never seen something so high leveled compared to his level 11, he his eyes quickly flashed to every corner of the cave he was in, as he was briefly looking around for a way out he heard a *Ping* but ignored it and his gaze evenrually once again settled on the pack leader who was sporting a smirk and started walking away with Louise whom he had accidentally awoken during his search for an exit.

As he carefully got up to leave he was interupted by a screen popping up in front of him.

"Quest Alert!"

[One With The Pack]

You Have Been Given The Opportunity That Any Wizard Would Kill For.

The Leader Of A Group Of Kneazles Has Offered You A Place In The Pack.

Objective

Prove Your Worth

Rewards

Food And Shelter

Failure

Death

Harry looked back over to the Pack leader who seemed to be gazing into Harrys soul, "Doesn't leave me woth much of a choice now does it buddy?" Harry asked the kneazle. The Kneazle didn't respond but instead kept gazing into Harrys soul, "Fine, Fine, I think I'm a fan of living now anyway." Harry said nonchanantly as he started following the Pack leader who started walking to the entrance of the cave. "So now what?" Harry asked while looking at the Leader who only started to run into the forest in response, "Fine, I'm coming" Harry grumbled as he started to run after Kage into the forest.

They wandered around for almost an hour before the pack leader growled and stopped moving. Harry looked arround to see what the Kneazle had seen but his eyes soon rested on a magnificent deer. He had seen an animal documenary or two so he knew where this was going.

The deer ignoratly grazed upon the lush green grass as Kage started to circle it, still out of view. After a minute of utter silence the Kneazle leaped out of his hiding spot and lunged at the deer who was to startled to react.

Kage rushed at the deers legs and with a crack that echoed throughout the forest the deer lost its balance and fell to its side, instead of killing the deer like Harry thought he would he turned back and stared blankly at Harry once again.

"Shit, You want me to kill it dont you?"

At the Kneazles nod he nodded back, "Cool, just gimme a second." At the Kneazles nod he started forcing his mana into the air around him and did what he felt like possessing it. As he convinced himself that it wasnt anything different than slaying zombies, He tried out moving the air around it seemed he could only move the air of about 2 meters from himself. He pulled back his arm as the ears on Kages head perked up and he turned his head to see Harry.

Harry was in deep concentration as he forced the wind above his hand to turn sharp, a few second later he dragged his hand back and threw it forward, willing the wind to leave his hand and it shot off like a rocket, decapitation the deer and slicing through a tree. As Harry and Kage stared blankly at the tree that was falling on it's right. Harry was only then brought out of his monologueing by a *Ping* as Harry focused on the pop up to see what it said he could only gape as he read what it said.

[Wind Control] - Lvl. 1

(Uncommon) (Passive/Active)

Wind Is All Around You, It Can Be Your Greatest Defence Or Your Deadliest Offence.

Wind has numerous uses, You can even fly!

Increases damage of Wind Element skills by 10%.

Decreases Damage Taken By Wind Element by 10%

Harry mentally questioned that THIS was a common skill!? He quickly looked back to the deer only to find Kage eating it and he couldn't help himself, he stumbled backwards, away from the deer corpse and barfed. He was given no reprieve as he heard the sound of ripping flesh of what he assumed was Kage eating the deer.

The next twenty minutes you could only hear the sounds of flesh ripping and a small boy dry heaning himself as his body tried to expel the food that did not exist, there wasnt even any stomach acid left.

Harry finally collected himself as the sound of ripping flesh stopped. He steeled his nerves once again as he turned around to see of what had become of the deer he had murdered, he was not prepared for what he saw.

Kage had taken the beast down to the bones, all that was left was a carcass with the odd bit of bloody meat hanging on. But that wasnt the shocking part, the shocking part was what Kage had done with the meat.

Harry supposed he had the smallest thought of how Kage transferred the meat from the deer with leaving most of it behind.

He had expected some trips or something to do with magic since the pack leader has such balanced stats.

Instead he found the meat tied together with deer intestines.

"Wow... I never expected that. Wow"

As Harry stood in awe of the macabre led the pack leader looked directly at him and began to growl lowly.

"Hm? Wassup?"

The Leader then grabbed the end of the intestine that let out several feet in front of the meat sled and dropped it in front of Harry.

Realization Dawned On Harry A Few Seconds Later, "You Want Me To drag this back don't you?" The pack leader nodded his head.

Disgusted but not unwilling, Harry bent down and grabbed the end of the intestine.

"Oh, Ew, Ew, Ew, Ew!" It squished in his hand and a little bit of thick blood came out of the opening. Harry took a deep breath and came to a realisation. He could use he inventory. He called out his inventory and tried to increase its size and it increased to the size of his body.

He looked back to Kage and saw he was walking back to the cave so Harry quickly dragged the sled of meat over to his inventory and walked through it with the sled, he came out the other side but the sled was an icon on the inventory and Harry mentally gave himself a pat on the back for a job well done.

He quickly glanced back at Kage and realised he wasnt there so he sprinted back to the cave and realised they would be suspicious if He went in without the meat so he brought it out of his inventory and dragged it through the cave entrance and dropped in the middle of the cave.

Exhausted by the trek Harry slumped to the ground and tried to catch his breath by leaning against the wall. He did not expect the soft fur that rubbed against his hand. Looking to where he felt the sensation he saw a bure black Kneasle with ruby red eyes staring back at him.

Harry assumed it was a kitten because in comparison to all the other Kneasles he saw in the cave it was tiny. That still made it too bug for the boy to hold it in one hand.

As he caught his breath the small kneazle jumped onto Harrys lap and decided to take a nap. Now Harry was trapped, how could he get rid of such an adorable little guy? The answer was he couldn't so Harry maintained his position of leaning on the wall for a whole ten minutes until the Kneazle stirred and jumped off his back.

"Phew, I thought you would never get off little guy" Harry stood up briefly to stretch and sooth his aching muscles and then once again leaned against the cave wall. The kitten that commandeered his lap sat in front of him with inquisitive eyes.

The two just sat there, staring at each other, until the pack leader growled loudly. Quite suddenly, the entirety of the cave became a feeding frenzy, all the meat had been put together in a large pile, intestine removed, in the small spot Harry had left the meat sled. His stomach growled as his little companion left to join his family in eating lunch.

The hunger pangs were becoming quite painful making Harry struggle intensely with the thought of eating raw meat. The decision was made for him though, by the pack leader who dropped a large chunk of meat in front of him. He proceeded to stare at the boy, clearly waiting for his response.

The thought of eating raw meat made Harry feel uncomfortable but he couldnt make a fire. What other option did he have? Grabbing the still bleeding meat Harry took a mighty chomp out of it and swallowd. *Ping*

25% Chance To Gain [Food Poisoning]

...

..

.

You're Fine!

"Thank Goodness!" The disgusting flavour was easily overwhelmed by Harrys relief at not getting food poisoning. "But... Will that happen every bite?"

Realising he had no other options except to experiment, Harry took another bite. He let out a sigh of relief when no other screen popped up.
