Chereads / The Path: My Path (HIATUS) / Chapter 6 - Hunting

Chapter 6 - Hunting

For all those curious, the average human that is Level 1 according to the system has the base stats of 100, by leveling up and training as well as class and line of work it can vary but in general, the average status for an Average level 1 human villager will look like this:

-------

--Attributes--

HP : 100

Strength : 120

Endurance : 100

Agility : 100

Stamina : 110

I got some free stat points to allocate from yesterday's level up but I did not allocate it yet, I did it when I woke up, my new stat points are :

-------

--Attributes--

HP : 100

Strength : 102

Endurance : 87 (72+10+5)

Agility : 152 (127+5+5+15)

Stamina : 107 (102+5)

-------

I added all 5 points to strength so it increased from 97 to 102, I did this so that I can be stronger and kill things quickly, I wanted to allocate it to HP but I felt that I needed strength way more.

Now that I have allocated my status points and explored my system as well as drank the blood of the rabbit, I decided to check how the [Charge] and [Dash] fully works, the system has granted me all the knowledge of said skills when I gained them, but I would still like to review them to be safe.

So after reviewing the knowledge of [Dash], I discovered that it and [Charge] is actually more different from each other than I expected, the [Dash] is a simple running technique that utilized more of my body so that I can run faster, it provides less power and cover so when using this I would be less safe but the speed buff is pretty nice.

The [Charge] is a charging technique as well, but instead of focusing on utilizing the body for speed like the [Dash] does, [Charge] instead goes for the path of defense and power instead of speed, when using skill [Charge], you run at the enemy in hopes of hitting the enemy with your body while at the same time defending yourself.

[Charge] gives you defense and power buff with a lower speed, whereas the [Dash] gives lower defense and power but gives a pretty hefty speed buff, I can already foretell that this will definitely come in handy in the future.

I finished all that was needed so I decided that I should get down to business and by business, I mean that I should go hunt some monsters to level up while at the same time exploring the surrounding area.

I put out the fire that I used to cook the horned rabbit and disposed of its bones by throwing it into a nearby bush, but instead of hearing the normal sounds that I expected, I heard a *thunk* and then something unexpectedly ran straight to me in an attempt to attack me.

It didn't take long for me to realize that by throwing the bone of the horned rabbit, I accidentally hit the creature that was hiding in the bush, and with this information, I quickly saw that it was another horned rabbit.

-------

No Name

Species : Single horned crimson rabbit

-------

Like last time it only gave me the name and species and an error screen popped up for --Skills-- and --Attributes-- tab saying my level was too low. All this happened in a few seconds while the rabbit was still charging at me.

Just like the previous rabbit, I sidestepped and tried to avoid it but I miscalculated the speed of this particular rabbit and it managed to graze my shoulders with its horn.

-------

You have been hit : HP -5

-------

That was the first time I took damage since I came to this world, but this thought was thrown to the back of my mind as I realized I was still in a fight.

I quickly spun around to face the rabbit again, I used the knowledge of [Charge] as I charged at it, it just landed and turned around to see me charging at it.

When I was directly in front of it, I canceled [Charge] and decided to use [Claw Swipe], it jumped again and I barely missed my [Claw Swipe] since it jumped over it, it jumped on my forearm and then at my head with its horn.

Knowing that he is trying to impale my head with its horn, I leaned to the side and it went straight past me to my back, and then a thought hit me, I lifted my one leg to my back to kick the rabbit.

The rabbit was midair and could not evade my kick, my kick hit it right from below as it flew up in the air from the power of the kick, I know this was a perfect opportunity to finish off the rabbit as it could not evade midair.

I jumped into the air closely behind the rabbit and slashed at it with my claws, I sliced it directly in two as my sharp claws easily passed through it like a hot knife through butter, I quickly evaded all the splashing blood and innards as I don't want to be full of blood.

40 EXP Earned

The rabbit body fell on the ground and once again the sweet smell of blood hit me making me hungry again, but instead of going to directly drink it again like last time, I used [Inspect] on the blood.

-------

Animal Blood

Type : Consumable

-------

{Ding!}

Skill [Inspect] has leveled up to Level 2

Skill [Inspect] now grants more information

-------

So it was just as I expected, it only says that it is blood and not what animal the blood is from, I also got a surprising level up for my [Inspect]

Since [Inspect] leveled up, I inspected the blood again to see what difference the level does.

-------

Animal Blood

Single horned crimson rabbit

Type : Consumable

Effect : Energy boost

-------

So it isn't that much of an improvement but it definitely helps, at the least I know where the blood I'm consuming comes from, as well as the effect it will have on me, at least that was on blood, I have no idea what it will have on living creatures.

I drank the blood from the rabbit in hopes of gaining more skills but that didn't happen but this was to be expected, you shouldn't be able to learn the same thing twice, right?

-------

{Ding!}

Skills [Charge] [Dash] has already been learned.

Instead of learning, mastery over the skills shall be given.

-------

I assume the mastery is like my proficiency in using them and if I am proficient enough it will level up like [Inspect] or something like that.

I didn't want to eat the rabbit but I also didn't want to waste the corpse but there was nothing I could do about it, it has been split in two and absolutely ruined, after all, I decided to leave it there in case another animal comes by and is hungry for a free snack on its way.

Since I took care of the sneak attack from the stupid rabbit, I decided to continue on my objective which was hunting some animals and leveling up, so I ran off into the forest in search of animals even though it took me around an hour to find the first animal which was also a rabbit, I guess they are pretty common here.

Error : Inspect level too low

-

I could finally see the level and --Attributes-- from the rabbit, this came from my [Inspect] going up to level 2, still was not enough to see the skills but I know it is [Charge] and [Dash] from the skills I obtained by sucking their blood.

I had a quick fight with this rabbit, even though I did a sneak attack it was still avoided and we had to fight head-on, this rabbit was way weaker than the one from earlier which did a sneak attack on me so I quickly defeated it and drank its blood.

Sufficient proficiency

Skills [Charge] [Dash] [Blood Suck] has leveled up.

-------

After I drank the blood and had 3 of my skills leveled up, I continued on my journey to level up, I only found Single horned crimson rabbits and one rat-like thing that was called a (Rattosaur), it looked exactly like a rat with scales and had basically no attacking capabilities, only thing was that it was fast, and I mean, VERY fast.

After I hunted for around basically the entire day, I decided to go back to the tree where I slept for my first night in this world.

I climbed into the tree and checked my stats, I got a level up today and allocated 5 points into strength.
