"The [Glutton] title seems strong... Can I eat poison now? I don't want to figure that out for now. I'm a bit scared of what would happend."
"Like, what if I accidentally ate a poisoned plant that can make me suffer for hours or possibly days? Oh wait, I forgot I got all of the plants in the world's information."
"Still... Nothing wrong to find out, right? Maybe I should try the weak ones first."
Shin looked through her inventory but was not able to find any poisoned ones because on her way here, she was only collecting edible plants and fruits.
After concluding that she doesn't have any poisoned plants, she began to looked around the area for some.
"Does [Perception] have a limit on what it can do? Maybe I can search through my memories and find one of the low poisoned plants. Then I can set my [Perception] skill to only search for that specific one! I am such a genius! Muahahaha."
"Ok that was cringe. Well there's nobody to listen to me anyways so I'm still fine."
And she did exactly just that. She find one of the weak ones, its called ant venom. Ant venom is as the name said, It is found near the ant hill and its poison is enough to kill a cat if it ever eat the venom. This time she only set the range of her [Perception] to 300m wide because last time it was an overkill.
"Actually, never mind that idea. Its never to bad to be safe. And maybe I'll set the [Perception] skill to also detect anything that is hostile. After all~ [Perception] skill doesn't required any Mp to be used! I love you system!"
*Ding
{I love you too}
"....Eh?"
"What... THE SYSTEM HAS A PERSONALITY?!"
"No way... Does that mean I can talk to you system?"
*Ding
{Yes, host}
"....Since when can you talk?"
*Ding
{Since the day you was created, Host}
"Why didn't you tell me?"
*Ding
{You never asked}
"Stop spitting facts at my face!"
'Atleast I now has a perso- or should I say system to talk to.'
"Alright System, can you please turn off the Ding noise you make everytime you talk or give notification?
{Affirmative}
"Do you have a preferable way to be called other than 'System'?"
{No, Host may call me whatever host would like to call me}
"Alright then, since you sounds like a woman, of course I'll give you a woman name. Now I just have to think of a good one.... Since you'll always be with me on my journey, how about.... Alicia? Maybe not, that sounds to childish. Haaa... I can't think of anything better since my naming sense was never the best. I'll call you Alicia, I guess."
{Affirmative, 'System' has been changed to 'Alicia'}
"So, I would like to ask abou-"
*KABOOOOOM
Shin immediately expand her [Perception] skill to 10km in radius. She noticed a strong yet familiar feeling around 6 km to her left.
"That, is a familiar feeling...Ah... that was the feeling I felt when I met that dragon earlier.... And that explosion was not small either. Because I'm currently standing on the edge of a huge crater barely missing me by 5 meters. By the look of it that crater seems to be atleast 700 meters deep."
*Flap Flap
(Change to 1st person POV)
I looked up to see a familiar dragon but with a different feeling than before. Fear. That dragon is probably the cause of this. There's no way I can beat that thing.
I looked down and I noticed two conciousness in the middle of the crater. One of the conciousness was almost gone, while the other one is still almost perfectly fine. I can't believe it. How can anything or anyone survive that monstrousity? Oh... I forgot, this is a fantasy world.
There's always gotta be that one monster for the endgame. I can feel the cold sweat on my back. I can see the dragon flying away from the scene like it was not his problem. I sigh in relieved and began gasping for air. Clutching my chest with my hand, I can feel my heart beating so fast that it might flew out of my chest- Or not! Hahaha! There's no way just from a single scene of power I'm gonna break down.
Are you crazy? This is not some cliche novel you know? Its not like I lost anyone important or anything. Right, Alicia?
Alicia?
Hello? Pretty girl, Alicia?
{Affirmative}
There you are.
Lets just ignore that whole scene earlier. I'm to scared to go to the middle of this huge crater but I can feel one conciousness getting weaker and weaker each passing seconds. I can't just leave them here. They might be a couple or something and I gotta atleast know who they are if I want to abandon them right?
What? That's not what you would do? Just let me get to the plot will you? Thank you.
I begin to walked towards the middle of the crater, I was half-way there and that weak conciousness was already gone. I was nearing the middle and although I already knew what it looked like from my [Perception], it is telling me that the one that got attacked are actually harmless. It is a blue. That dragon was a red. Blue for Harmless and red for Hostile.
If I guess correctly, Blue means it won't attack you unless you attack it first. Meanwhile, Red attack whatever it wants to attack.
What I saw was 2 fox. It seems like its a Mother and daughter. The mother fox was already dead while the small fox is sleeping near its mother.
I'm a human, I have feelings, I might not show it on my face because of the [Poker face] skill but I have feelings. I, for some reason feel a strong feelings of empathy towards the smaller fox.
The fox seemed to have noticed me because its ear perked up and it stands on its leg looking around in fear. The fox then looked straight towards me and walked towards me in a cute manner.
Rubbing its head on my feet, I picked it up but it struggled out of my hand. It then went straight towards its dead mother and began rubbing its head on it.
I walked closer to the mama fox but I know it was already to late to be saved. The little seemed to be looking at me with a puppy eyes.
What's this? Can you please not do that? I don't have a resurrection spell so I can't do anything to help you. But you look so cute~ Can I keep you?
It shook its head.
Oh, It can actually understand me. Well you, listen here. I can't do anything to save your mother but I can help your mother by raising you into and great beast. From my understanding, you are actually a nine-tailed fox but your mother only has 7 tails. I don't know what that means but you seems to already grew your 2nd tail.
Follow me and survive for your mother, or wait here for that dragon to come back and finish what it started. Now choose.
The fox seemed to be hesistant for some reason. It keeps pushing me towards its mother's dead body.
Do you want me to bring her body with us?
The fox nodded its head.
Well I do have an inventory, so that's not a problem. Will you follow me if I bring her?
The fox nodded.
Ok then. I put my hand on the body and put it inside my inventory. I noticed the fox seems to be suprised for some reason when I put Mama fox's dead body in my inventory.
After that happened, the fox now seems more friendly towards me.
Awwww~ So cute! What name do you want? Since you'll be adventuring with me you gotta have a cool name, right?
I'll give you the name.... Hinata
After a while, the little fox jumped around like it was saying its happy.
Seems like you really like that name, Hinata.
I felt something hot on my wrist. Ouch. Why did I suddenly got a flower tatoo? I'm not complaining since it looks pretty though.
Actually, lets use my [Eye of judgement] skill on Hinata. That'll be my first time ever using this skill.

I see.... It doesn't tell the skill of other people suprisingly. And... Ancient fox? In my memories it says Ancient beast are usually really strong right? And its level 120. Damn, 20 years old? And you look like a baby fo- What the fuck? How did you get so big in a short amount of time? Wait, I haven't checked if you were a boy or a girl since I just assumed you're a girl with that beautiful fur of yours.
Here show me your butt.
The fox jumped but did not resist me taking its tail up.
Hmmm.... It doesn't have any balls so its a girl.
And why the hell is a level 120 fox so weak? Hey hey hey. Why are you mad all of a sudden?
I didn't said anything mean, did I? ha..... if only we could communicate better. Let's go, we need to get out of here before that dragon came back.
Hmmm... It seemed obedient now. And my acting skill was top notch! I think I deserve an award for creating all that speech on the spot. I'm giving myself a pat on the back in my mind. And that fox is so fucking cute~ I just wanna cuddle her so bad but I need to keep my dignity because the fox actually has a human intelligence. To bad I can't.
