He looked and saw a behemoth! It looked roughly like a cat fish but had a amour just like a certain Titan Nick knows from an anime. (And no, it is not an armoured sucker mouth cat fish as it has a normal mouth.)
Nick panicked as the catfish dashed towards him with high speed. He was scared remembering he only had 1 single point is agility.
"Oh fu-"
"Wait a minute"
Nick realised he had a cheat skill. Not ANY cheat skill. The cheat skill was time stop.
"Mwahahahahahahahahha"
"You FOOL you shall know the power of..."
"ZA TADPOLE"
As he said that, the world around him see, seemed to freeze. He said nice and ran away. He was trying to find a hiding spot (preferably a deep hole) as it was only 1 second. But then... time seemed to move again
Nick questioned if the catfish actually even saw him as the water was muddy and he was the only had better eyes sight. But his suspicion was shut down not even 10 seconds later as the ugly fish took chase.
He only saw one way out, he knew this term as he was a gamer.
He was gonna spam timestop
"Kingu Tadpole no noryoku"
He didn't know why but instead of a dio reference he did a king crimson reference. He just went with it though.
Time froze as Nick looked around.
"WHY ARE THERE NO GODDM HOLES"
Nick gulped and ran away as the catfish was hot on his tail.
"IM JUST A SMALL TADPOLE WHY ARE YOU CHASING ME"
Again, he stopped time. He couldn't find a god damn hiding spot!
"..."
"Is the a hole under me"
Nick looked down and saw a hole that fitted the criteria
1. Small
2. Deep
Well he couldn't tell if it was deep but better than nothing. He shrugged and swam down to the hole.
And guess what, it was not that deep.
"UGH"
Nick said that as he thought if tadpoles can swim he then thought why not try.
He just couldn't dig! It was not because HE couldn't it was the dirt. It was so hard! (By dig I mean drill his head into the floor)
"Wrrryyyyyyyyyyyy"
He does that whenever he's tired, angry or just wants to let out some stress. Saying that help ya know?
But... the little tadpole was determined to dig!
Twirling around for hours on end, he did it! He got rid of the hard part of the dirt!
The parts under was really soft but he couldn't drill it so he decided to bite it then spit it out because eating dirt is so disgusting
Hey bit into the dirt but was confused when he saw red stuff under the "dirt"
"Did I hit earths core? Aaaahhh"
"Wait I'm not dead"
"What is this"
"Organs?"
As he said that
[user has levelled up]
[user has gotten new skill: Dig]
[user has killed aquatic armoured burrower]
[user has gotten 5 skill points for levelling up]
[bite has levelled up]
[time stop has levelled up to level 5 as user used it in rapid succession]
"..."
"NOICE"
Before sleeping he decided to change these stats:
Strength : 1
Agility: 1
Stamina: 1
Endurance: 1
Into these stats:
Strength : 2
Agility: 3
Stamina: 2
Endurance: 2
Instantly he felt more faster! Then Nick swam outside the burrow then made a new one. He then went to sleep
