While Hiro was slumbering peacefully.
Someplace a couple of thousand kilometers away from him. A huge open area stood there surrounded by dense forest.
Countless tents were scattered about throughout the whole open space added with soldiers in uniforms marching around the perimeter.
In the middle of these tent's fortress, a huge metal-like structure sat there as heavily armored soldiers watched over it with vigilance.
Minutes later... One of the soldiers gaped with laziness as he clasped his gun with relaxation.
"Hey, Dred... do we need to guard this thing? it's not like it can smash open the container anyway."
The gaping guard asked his subordinates next to him with a teasing tone.
"Well... I mean the creature inside is pretty clever. You know how much Dr. Lilith cherished this type of sample. She would do anything to research and conserve it for herself."
"I know right... I don't even know what those old founders think about this mission. What if we accidentally infuriated the Emperor class monster lurking deep in this forest. We all will be dead in seconds."
"Don't worry... the organization employed some awakened to prevent anything like that from occurring. "
both of them laughed with enjoyment as the surrounding patrol simply ignored them.
-
Inside the huge container. A huge pair of red eyes slowly unfolded itself as a breath of terror engulfed the whole space.
"Human!!... kill!!!... revenge!!"
The huge creature growled with resentment as the darkness gradually shrouded the whole perspective
-
"Ding... awakening the host in processing. Injuries 100% healed"
"awakening in... 3...2...1... welcome back host"
Suddenly a robotic voice whistled inside my mind notifying me to wake up.
Gradually my eyes unwrapped on their own as my consciousness came back to normal. I slowly raised my head while pulling my tail forward to scratch my scaly head.
"Yeah... no matter how many times it is. I can't get used to this sleeping function. It felt so unusual."
"Ding... welcome back host. The injuries had been 100% healed and while the host was asleep there were no dangers detected 10km radius"
"This?... you still have that kind of function? 10km? "
"Ding... yes host. This system is equipped with various functions that can assist the host in many situations."
While hearing this... I slowly wandered my gaze around my body. Examining it particularly the injury area. To my surprise, the injury was no longer there.
The flesh had regrown and the skin was the same as usual as if that place had never been torned.
'This is simply amazing '
I secretly thought.
"Now that I'm fully rested and my injuries had been healed. It's time for hunting. I can't wait any longer. What if a stronger creature suddenly came down to my area. I'm boned then if that ever happened"
With no time to waste. I plunged myself into the warm river as I drilled to the bottom of it. Gazing around I discerned numerous fishes that had returned to their home after the fight had ended.
Sadly none of them are big enough to provide me with enough points. But of course, hunting them in batches would be far more efficient.
*Swoosh!*
My body shot forward with huge force. I chased after the fish that were in a group and swallowed them in one go.
"Ding gained 250 points"
"Okay? they are quite tasty huh."
I tilted my gaze around and then I glimpsed another group of bluefish. And such I did a similar thing over and over again.
While the announcement of the points reverberated inside my head numerous times.
"Ding gained 100 points, "
"Ding gained 170 points"
"Ding gained 230 points"

Hours passed by and it was already nighttime.
The surface of the river remained the same as usual. The butterflies wavered about the tall lawns surrounding it while the animals committed their movements on the daily basis.
Many such animals also slowly receded to their nest as being outside during the night would be extremely risky. Ever heard of fear the creature that lurked in the darkness?.
The moon gradually uncovered itself as the clouds dispersed away to the following area.
The mysterious light in contrast to the morning drenched the land with a visible shadow. The shadow that could effortlessly clasp the whole land with ease.
Suddenly
*Rustles* *Rustles*
The tall yellowish grasses encircling the small island shifted. Seemingly to be shoved around as if something was moving inside it.
The moonlight slowly lifted the area. Finally, if it was to be beheld from above.
A huge 5 meters snake could be recognized slithering forward to the middle of the small Island. Naturally, this was Hiro returning to his bed after a long hunt.
"Huaaa, Damn... it's Night already. I didn't even notice it while I was at the bottom of the river."
"Anyway let us look at my points hahaha. I'm sure I have more than enough to evolve... Also, I could purchase some new skills in the mall. If I'm not wrong the system once said that the mall skills stock had been refreshed. I should check out later."
"System open my panel"
