As flames walked through the forest he saw I little bunny with blood red eyes.
"Heh easy prey" he muttered he then crouched and crawled over to a bush behind the bunny he tensed his legs then leaped forward, when the bunny saw this is it didn't try to run it just slashed at Flames with its claws that were sharper and longer than flames claws. When flames saw this he realized I'm his mistake and changed the center of his body mass and dodged by one cm then landed behind the bunny. He had underestimated the bunny as it was right in the blink of an eye, flames eyes widened, and he tried to block the attack but it's claws still managed leave a mark on his forearm. Flames flinched from pain giving the bunny another chance to strike, it bit down on his shoulder. Flames saw the chance and slashed down with both fore paws but it didn't even leave a scratch frightening flames to retreat.

Meanwhile
"Mom aren't you being a little harsh" asked a leaf green fox
"Well I sensed fire from him and mixer sensed life, death, and shadow energy. We can't forget about how he also knew what an affinity was so he must be a prodigy" answered a fox that was mainly but had orange and red in certain places. When she the white said this the green one widened her eyes then stared out of the cave with shock and confusion.

It had been an hour since flames fought with the red eyed rabbit and he had only gotten into a worse condition. He always jumped into fights and basically got bullied by his opponent until he would retreat, but he did learn some basic technique and didn't get hit as much. As he was miserably walking he saw a giant Boulder, so flames decided to rest but he went to sleep from exhaustion.
Right after the huge Boulder moved so you could see stone eyes staring down at flames while a wicked smile stretched across its face. Then the Boulder started to shake rapidly while limbs grew out of it. It was no longer a Boulder, no, it was more humanoid than that. It was an earth giant! Flames immediately woke up from the rumbling of the earth giant, he grimaced at the sight of the earth giant and thought he recognized this scene. He didn't give much to the thought and ran around the behemoth looking for a opening or weak spot. He look at the joints, and decided that was the best course of action. The earth giant just smiled and didn't do anything.
Flames swiped at the earth giants knee joint but when his claw hit it, it immediately tore off giving flames the scare of his life. The earth giant who was surprisingly fast kicked flames against a tree. The latter spit out blood and couldn't move, but then he remembered that this was same situation he was in with the humans. He wondered how he escaped that then he remembered 'System!'
-Yes host?-
He was quite startled by the voice and started freaking out. 'Huh??? A voice inside my head! Man I'm crazy when I'm about to die…'
-Host you are not crazy-
After he heard this he calmed himself down asked what the system does.
-System function unlocked: 1-
'What is that one function?' Flames wondered
-System function: host status screen
Code word:status-
As soon as flames heard this he yelled out "Status!"

After skimming through he got the gist of it and immediately put 2 skill points in mana blast to reduce the cost of mana. Flames also put all 3 stat points in intellect and said "Mana Blast!"
Before the earth giant could react or realize what was going his head got blasted pushing it back a meter, it immediately started to rush back at flames but because of its running its already slightly shattered face started break more and more until broke up art and the body went limp falling on the ground.

'What tier would I be considered now that I'm level 3?'
-1 through 3 is low tier

And 10 is mastered tier-
'What about the novice apprentice thing?' Curiously asked Flames
-Novice is the worst rank, then it's Apprentice, next is regular, monster, master, champion, lord, and king. More ranks will be given when reaching master level.-
After this eventful day Flames went to bed content and ready to show his family his pile of monsters.
——————————————————————————–
Authors note: There are three more that are a lot different than the rest the first one is emperor. This is the minimal rank you can be to be a king, emperor or anything that shows that's you have power.
Immortal rank is obviously you become immortal, but your power drops incredibly back to the beginning of lord rank. Thankfully this rank is really short and easy to get past.
The last one is god rank where you're immortal but nobody in the mortal plane would be able to challenge you but other god ranks, but the problem is that you would do more than every single rank before combined. After you get through this rank you get transferred to the spiritual plane that we can talk about that when the story gets there.
