I was currently walking, it had already been some minutes after I had started to walk. I then saw some blue mana with my vision. That wasn't that strange, after all, I could also see the mana from the water vapor in the atmosphere - I had tried it out soon after I started finding a river, it was to confirm that water was indeed was blue and that mana could move around.
The special thing about this one was that it flowed, it flowed differently than how the water vapor in the atmosphere floated. It was movement only a moving body of water could create. The mana concentration also wasn't that high; so it would make a perfect spot for me to stay.
Though I could also be wrong, but currently I didn't think that I could be wrong. After all, with how much evidence I could gather about mana in such a short time made me confident. The world also had a system a little similar to the one that I was familiar with.
'Well, you only live once, though, for me it should be you only live twice. YOLT!' I made a new acronym and started to dash a little towards the river; I didn't worry about my stamina, since I knew that I will have enough to run from a monster - though I wasn't that confident in outrunning a monster.
While I was dashing towards the river, I used my mind to lay out a simple plan. I needed to get to the river, get some food, make a temporary base, and then level up.
I wanted to get to level 10. The reason for that was that getting to level 10 won't take that long, with this body it will probably take me about 4 days to do it.
Though it can change, after all, I didn't know if the entire system was the same. But even then getting to level 10 will be my number one priority for the next couple of days - once I know that I can get water and food.
The reason for that was that it will give me an evolution, the evolution will make my power skyrocket. It would also make my survivability in this world way higher.
Then after running for some seconds I then stopped.
That's because in front of me was the thing that I had searched for. It was a river. The water was pretty clean, there were rocks around the side of the river. The riverbank didn't have any trees growing in it.
'This world just got more similar to Mir Grand.' that's because in Mir Grand, if you grew a tree close to a river then the river would suck the life out of the tree. But at the right distance it will heavily benefit the tree and mildly benefit the river.
I also looked around the river to find out that the trees all had more mana than usual. I didn't find them because I was only searching for water mana, making this discovery made even happier.
After all, this explained to me that this world was more similar to Mir Grand, it also meant that searching for another river in the future will be easier.
Then I walked near the river, a little afraid, but super intrigued about my appearance.
"I am too fucking cute!' on the reflection of the river there was a yellow scaled dragon - me - the dragon was only as big as an adult cat, it had comically small wings. But the most striking part about its appearance was its azure eye. It was also super fucking cute.
I could only give a wry smile, though seeing the dragon do that made me feel a little repulsed due to weird it looked. So I quickly stopped myself.
Then I scanned my surroundings, making sure that there was nothing wrong. 'I should probably explore the area around the river.'
I then started to walk around the river, looking at everything around me. 'The environment here is truly beautiful!' that was the only thought I had after seeing the environment more closely, especially since the trees here were all more exoticer than the rest.
The atmosphere just screamed naturally to me. The smell, the sound, and everything were just stunning. The river added to the effect as well.
The river's crystal clear water, the rocks in and around it, it looked very beautiful. 'This world is truly beautiful! This is just like how I had felt when I had first played Mir Grand.'
I didn't let the beauty distract me too much, but I just couldn't help myself get a little distracted. Seeing the sight around me made me feel determined to explore the world
I sighed mentally, 'Seems like I have to get stronger.' I really didn't like killing that much, that's why I didn't turn on blood and gore at the game. This is a real-world so I just can't hide myself in a safe position where I wouldn't see the aftermath of my actions.
I then quickly started to think depressing thoughts, so I quickly tried my best to think positive.
After walking around, enjoying, and surveying the area, I finally came back to the area I had started this survey of the area.
I had searched for other beings, except small creatures, I hadn't found any other beings. This made me feel a little bit more relaxed. But it still didn't make me lose my guard, no, it made me be on my guard even more.
After all, with how much evidence I had, proving that this world was similar to Mir Grand, I couldn't believe that there aren't stealth-type monsters.
Those are the monsters that specialized in hiding their aura. With how weak I was I couldn't get a detection skill - trust me I have tried it. So those monsters could easily kill me and I won't be able to fight back even a little.
That was a scary thought, but I turned that fear into determination to get stronger. After all, fear wasn't going to help me kill them.
I also had a suspicion about them since the beginning after I had seen the status page, but the reason I didn't just check for them immediately was that it would fail horribly - and have already.
And that stealth monsters tend to hide in places with high mana concentration. The reason for that was that all monsters had a stronger will to get stronger, and killing a strong monster will help you get stronger way faster. Though they were less common in places with massive amounts of mana, raid monsters tended to stay in those areas.
'Speaking about raid monsters, can't I evolve into one? After all most dragons could evolve into raid monsters.' I then planned how I would evolve - I will have to try my best to get a raid monster evolution.
That would mean that I won't be able to evolve immediately; which was a little disappointing, but it would greatly help me in the long run.
I also had made a new discovery at the time I had spent looking around the river. It was that the skills were connected even more closely to their lore. This just meant that skills would be a little stronger in this world.
The reason I had noticed that was because draconic wisdom was giving me new information, some of which were entirely foreign to me, though it would only give me small background information.
But it was still quite useful. This was still a valuable piece of information. I was pretty happy about it.
With the search complete I then used my elemental sight to find something to eat. I wanted it to be meat, since this would level me up - that's if the system was similar, which I think it is.
I had found some traces when looking around the area. Though this time, instead of just ignoring them, I focused on them even more.
'Seriously! This day if pretty fucking lucky!' I then found a trail of yellow mana - indicating fire. Draconic wisdom, my body, and my knowledge of the game made me know which creature made this trail.
The creature that this was called a special beast. They were hybrids between animals and monsters. They weren't that strong but they provided a lot of experience. Though they will get pretty much useless after level 12.
But I was only level 1, it at least level me up to level 7. And if I was lucky to level 10. This would greatly decrease the time needed to get to level 10, and most importantly, the number of times I would have to kill.
I then quickly checked if there were other beings near it, sadly, there was. But they were pretty weak. My body and DW (draconic wisdom) made me realize that they were goblins.
The amount of goblin was about 4. They were also a little weak. I was confident that with my level 2 breath and aura suppression I would be able to sneak up on them and burn them to a crisp.
So I dashed fast as I could, I didn't want to miss out on those levels.
I followed the trail, I tried my best to hide myself. I really wanted to kill the goblins before they could kill the beast. Since they would probably get stronger, so I wouldn't be able to fight them off.
...
'Fuck!' I got very angry.
...
I was going around the forest. I was pretty small so I knew that I could pass through many things. My life was very good. I only ate and slept.
It was a wonderful life.
I then wanted to go to an area that I hadn't seen. 'This going to be dangerous,' I squeaked, 'but what's the thrill if there is no danger.'
Then I valiantly marched towards the unknown. I was going to be a pioneer so I was very proud.
I slowly walked around, absorbing the nature around me. It was very beautiful. I was very satisfied with my decision to be a pioneer.
I then slowly walked around the woods, there were more strange plants, herbs, and trees. I also saw a river. The water in it was crystal clear. It was very clear.
I was not the same as my water pit. I then quickly went and drank the water from the river.
"Chuuuu!!!" the river water was very delicious, I drank more until I couldn't.
I then went towards a tree I had found, I then rested over there. 'My life is soo good. They would be so sad if they knew how good I was living.' I thought to myself, smug.
The other rats had ostracised me, but if they knew my life they would be begging me to let them stay with me. But I would just ignore it, after all this was my life.
I did everything to build my life like this. I worked very hard and I wasn't giving out the fruits of my effort for free.
I then started exploring even deeper, I knew it would be dangerous; but I was ready for anything. After all, this water made me feel even stronger. I was even more confident that I was the strongest in the world.
I then heard some bush rustling. "CHUUU!!!" I called them out here, ready to give them punishment for ruining my walk.
After all, I was the strongest rat in the world. I wouldn't be scared of anything.
Then from the bushed, 4 figures came out. They had green skin, and wore something on their groin area. They had some sticks with them. They were very thin, their faces were repulsive and horrendous.
They had slit irises and round eyes. I got even madder, their appearance made me feel disgusted. Though they were a little bigger than me, I was confident that I could beat them. After all, I was the strongest in the world.
I charged at them, they saw me and were startled. It made me feel even happier, seeing them startled due to me. They were probably thinking that I was a god or something and cowering before my might.
Then they all dodged my attack by getting out of my way. I got even more madder, with fury in my eyes I then again charged at them, this time I used my fire.
I had discovered that I was able to use fire after sometimes when I left my colony. It was the first time that I realized that I was the strongest being in the entire world.
I kept on using my fire on them. The fire was very hot, but I was sure that this would kill them.
"Gweraahh!!!" those four figures screamed, their screams gave me joy. It also proved how strong of a creature I was.
The fire then stopped, a then I closed my eyes and then started to leave. Knowing that there was no way they could survive my strongest attack.
Then I felt something blunt hit my leg, I heard, no, felt a cracking sound through my body. I then fell down, I didn't realize for a moment what had happened, then a wave of pain passed through my body. But before I could scream out another blunt thing hit my neck.
Crushing my vocal pipe, It didn't break my neck so I was fine. But because of that, I couldn't speak. Then the four figures emerged, two of their sticks had blood in them.
From that, I knew that it was them who hit me. I got even more furious. I then tried to stand up, ready to kill them for what they had done against me.
But before I could do that one of them hit my back, I felt a cracking sound again. This time the cracking sound made me feel numb. I couldn't move my body.
It was scary, very scary. I then tried my best to gurgle out some words out of my broken vocal pipes. But as soon as they saw that they started laughing. I started to get scared, 'I DON'T WANT TO DIE, I DON'T WANT TO DIE.' that was the only thought that was going through my head.
They then started to beat me, they beat me, they beat me, they beat me. It was hard to remain conscious, I felt my mind drifting. But I didn't let it, since that meant death.
'Someone help me!' that was the only thing in my head. I will then get even stronger and prove that I am even stronger.
Then I heard another rustling sound, and then in another moment super hot fire was thrown at the figure. The figures all started screaming, I then looked at the one who saved me.
'Come and save me! I will repay you by killing you and making you one with me!' if I could get that thing to help me and kill it I was confident that I would become the strongest being in the world.
This moment had made me realize that I was not all-powerful - I was still the strongest being in the world, but that will not last for long. I will fucking kill everything and get stronger! I will get stronger!
Then the figure slowly started to come closer, it was a bit smaller than me. But its strength was real. It then quickly dragged me out.
Those figures were still burning, it was strange. The fire shouldn't stay on them for that long; this made me want to kill this thing even more, I could absorb its power for mine, just like how I did to that blob.
The thing then looked at me, it was a little shocked. I wasn't surprised, after all, seeing me should give you this awe. I only became like this because I had to fight four of them at the same time.
Then in the next moment, a claw headed towards me and passed through my neck, cutting it. It made me flicker my eyelids.
When I saw that who had done it, I saw the same thing. I couldn't speak at all.
'I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!I WILL KILL YOU!'

[Level up!]
[You have reached max level!]
[All stats increase by 18!]
[Dragon Breath: Lv.2 > Lv.3]
[Aura Suppression: Lv.2 > Lv.3]
[Claws: Lv.1 > Lv.3]
[Scales: Lv.1 > Lv.3]
[Due to the divine beast being greatly weakened; you didn't gain the status of a divine monster]
'Holy fuck! What the fuck is wrong with this world! That was a fucking divine beast! Those fuckers are supposed to be rare! Why the fuck is that thing in this forest! Fuck!' I was fucking scared.
That thing could've instantly killed me if it had killed them; which it would've. Even though it looked that it was getting its ass whooped. Divine beasts, when they were in a near-death state, would unleash a massive amount of power and power up.
Those power-ups would be permanent and not temporary and will keep on growing stronger and stronger. This thing would be able to reach level 100 in Mir Grand. Even in the game, a divine beast or monster hadn't even been seen.
People knew they existed because of the patch notes. But these fuckers were just that rare.
I didn't care that I didn't get the status of a divine monster or that I leveled up to 10 and that I just had my skills leveled up to max. I am just happy that I was alive.
