After I got caught up on the rules of this world I started walking towards what I would hope was a river but instead I found myself a cave that seemed empty and luckily there was a water reservoir inside so that saved me the trouble of adventuring further.

[Ding! Stats have risen. Would you like to see]
No I'm fine, now let's go out and get some food but first I need to make a spear.
——————————————————————————-
Finally after an hour I found a good stone and a solid branch now let's break the stone and make it sharp.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Crack!
Wow I'm pretty lucky this is perfect!
Now next attack make a groove in the branch.
Now put the stone in the groove and seal with sap, then wrap with leaves and done! Not to bad if I say so for my self.

(Outside)
Let's see use Lesser Radar!
[5 Mana used, Items found!]
- rabbits west 10 meters away
- river leading south 18 meters away
- youth Dire wolf north 20 meters
Huh…. A DIRE WOLF AWESOME! but wait why is it not moving let's go check, I can't believe I will be able to see a real life dire wolf!
(Cave 20 meters away)
"I guess this is the cave, well let's head in". I walked in and sure enough I found a Dire wolf pup but what I wasn't expecting was I found it with its a dire wolf with beautiful Gray fur who had scars and wounds all over her body.
Grrrrr…
It's okay don't worry I'm not here to hurt you, system is there anything I can do to help the fire wolf?
[No there isn't the wounds are fatal however for this one time I can convey you have no bad intentions to her and you can see if that will help]
Yes, please do that.
[Mind link being made between host and dire wolf using 10 Mana... Connected]
Hello can you hear me I am not here to hurt you or your pup I just want to know if there is anything I can do to help.
(Human)
Yes I'm here.
(I have felt your intentions and I trust you please take my son from here and raise him and help him grow and be strong. As for me please just end my suffering without my son seeing.)

[Using magic you can contract with beast and make them your companions. As companions you can feel each other's intent and later you can telepathically talk with them]
Cool I'm not even gonna ask about how I became a mage I'm just happy, oh right are you ready I've contracted with your son and I promise to protect him.
(Yes I am ready and his name is Ash)
[Ding! Name updated]
[Ash(youth dire wolf) lvl 4]
"Here I go rest well and in peace." After I said that I stabbed my spear into her heart to give her a fast and painless death.
[Ding! Adult Dire wolf lvl 21 has been slain! Level up 2x]
——————————————————————————-
After that whole ordeal I went back with the sleeping pup in my arms and placed him there and went out to hunt a couple of rabbits which helped me level up again to level 5.
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 5 as a reward new feature inventory has been unlocked]
[Skill (Inventory)]
- a space storage with a 5x5 meter space to store items or corpses
Nice just when I was wondering how I was going to haul these rabbit corpses back.
(Home Cave)
After I got back I head to where I placed the dire wolf at and I found him awake and running around, once he saw me he started wagging his tail and he ran to me and started licking me.
Hey buddy how are you doing I brought food home. I showed him the rabbits then placed them down on a rock and went to go collect fire wood to make a campfire.
Once I came back to grab the rabbits I found that Ash had eaten 2 out of the 5 I killed and when I got close I got the notification he leveled up.
[Ding! Companion Ash has leveled up!]
[Ash(youth dire wolf) lvl 5]
Hey system why did Ash level up from eating?
[Since animals need to eat to develop it counts towards exp which in turn helps them grow up, you can also get exp from eating although a tiny amount]
I see so there levels also correlate with their development.
After I let Ash I went to the campfire and Cooke the rabbits and gave another one to Ash. Once I finished I went back into the cave and found a warm corner to sleep in using leafs as a blanket and when I laid down Ash lied next to me and fell asleep.
Wow I can't believe all this happened in one day, well here's to the next day.
And with that over I fell asleep.
[Day 2]
The next day I woke up with the sun seeping in to the cave, next to me Ash was still sleeping so I decided to leave him be and instead opened my status

Awesome so I guess once strength and agility reach 20 you rank up right system?
[For every 10 stats that go into strength and agility you go up a minor realm]
What about Mage realm?
[When using meditation you gather more mana and make your mana storage bigger but to rank up you need to comprehend 2 tier 1 spells]
I see well let's go meditate then hey system how much does my mana go up when using mana meditation?
[You gain 2 mana every 3 hours]
Wow that's very little, well I guess I'll get more once it levels up.
(8 hours later)
[Ding! Mana has reached 68!]
System can I buy magic books in the shop?
[Yes, you can buy (Beginners Magic Book) for 10 skill points do you want to buy it?]
Yes.
[Ding! Beginner magic book has been bought for 10 skill points, 5 left]
After I bought the book I read and learned the tier 1 spell magic arrow and then decided to go hunting.
Alright let's go, okay Ash stay here and man the fort okay. Ash looked at me and nodded his head.
(Forest)
After searching for an hour I found a boar and used magic arrow to kill it.
[Ding! Wild boar slain! Level up!]
After I put the boar in my inventory I heard a loud rumbling and decided to check it out but to my utter shock I found a mammoth fighting off a giant wolf and again to my shock the wolf used some type of wind magic!
System what did that wolf just use and why is it 2 meters tall and green!
[The wolf you are watching right now is what's called a magic beast not to be confused with a demon beast]
Oh yeah that makes a lot of sense… what the fuck kind of monster is that system!
[That wolf belongs to the magic wolf family it is a tier 3 tempest wolf I advise to run away before it notices you because being attacked is guaranteed death]
After that I hauled ass out of there.
Shit shit shit shit!
After I got back to the cave I made sure to hide with Ash and after another hour of nothing I came out relived to keep my life again now it's time to cook this boar and eat!
