After getting my system I decided to start leveling up as soon as possible. Just in case something happens so I can protect those around me.
So I started going near the edge of the forest where I see rats everyday. There where always rats near the edge of the forest because we had no guild or any adventures in town. It isn't like the rats did any damage they only stole food here and there besides this was a farming town where we grew rice and beans.
I snuck up on one of the rats and used my light slash to cut it in half. Unfortunately it only went half way threw the rat, but at least it did the job of killing it.
"Ding gained 5 experience points leveled up to 2"
My new stats looked like

For the rest of the I hunted rats I only managed to kill 20 more rats by the end of the day which was a start. I held of on the updates of the system because I felt they where distracting I also got bit a few times so I had to use my healing magic.
When I got home I finally let the system give me notifications.
"Ding gained 100 experience points leveled up to 5"
"Ding your light slash has also leveled up to 3 and your heal has also leveled up to 2"

It was dark by the time I got home from my hunt. I placed a sac filled with all the rats I killed on the table. My parents where shocked to see such a sight. My parents yelled at me for hunting monsters by myself but they where also impressed that I killed so many without any help.
The following day we sold all the rats that killed to the merchants and got a silver and a copper coin. That isn't bad for a few rats. I decided to try to go a little deeper into the forest thinking I could grind and gain some levels.
Since I leveled up the hunting was much easier and I killed 20 rats like nothing. And gained another 100 exp but it didn't get me enough points to level up. Before going deeper into the forest I put the already desist rats into a sac so I could sell them again.
As I walked 10 feet into the forest I was greeted by a rat the size of a small cat. I managed to sneak up on it and in one quick motion I was able to cut it with my light slash skill , but unlike the previous rats it didn't cut all the way threw. The rat charged at me and managed to give me a few bites to my leg which really hurt. I managed to kick the rat in the head and get some distance. I didn't have time to heal my leg before the rat charged at me again. As it charged at me I managed to use my light slash right on the rats head and killed it. I got 10 points for killing just one of those rats. So I thought it was a slightly stronger version of the smaller rats and if I was right then these new rats where probably level two.
