{Oki I know it's late but I had stuff to do, sooooo, sorry, anyway I liked the POV stuff it worked better than third person narration so ima stick with it...one last thing I can't draw fer shite so I'm not gonna have character illustrations for this or any thing else I do for that matter, Oki rant over, I mean authors note(has anyone gotten fed up with that yet, ohh everyone has! Well too bad I like it so I'm gonna do it every time ;)..}
Today I woke up and went about business as usual, ate a couple worms, prepared a few stories to tell the small ones, et cetera, et cetera, you get the point!
So imagine my surprise when I've only gone a few steps out of my home and I spot that greedy little fella from yesterday…. Playing in the dirt like it's the best thing in the world, makin all sorts of shapes and structures, sure is a strange kid but I'll leave Im to it, seems to be enjoying it more than enough.
-earlier on in the morning-
Good morning world it is I Nico, the cutest and bestest mole in the world. [bestest is that a word, I think it's a word]
(Bestest is not a word)
[tch damn grumpy system] I click my tongue in annoyance at this grumpy system never letting me be content with getting it wrong.
Okay plan for today is get skills and level up.
How am I gonna do it?
I have absolutely no idea, so I'll just ask the system, I'm so smart, hehe.
[ hey system]
(Yes host)
[how do I get new skills?]
(Host can gain new skills through evolution)
[uh huh sooo….how do I evolve]
(Host can evolve by reaching hosts current max lvl)
[well that's gonna take forever so is there another way]
(Skills can also be gained through repetitive actions such as continuous use of claws to attack unlocking a skill related to using claws to attack)
[oh thanks system!!]
(My pleasure host)
For some reason the entire time I was talking with the system it sounded disappointed, huh must be somethin else.
So now that that conundrum is solved let's see what skill do I want to get.
...
-half an hour later-
Oh I got it I remember a manga about a dude who gets stuck in a dungeon or something and getting a skill to make stuff with dirt and eventually getting golems or something.
Yep I want golems.
Never thought I'd be saying this but it's time to play in the dirt.
And so off I went waddling on two tiny mole legs out of my hole-home out into the open in front of the big old moles home,
I grab a clump of dirt from the ground and start playing with it, making squares, circles, triangles, spheres, cubes, pyramids, all sorts of shapes, hell I even tried to do a Rhombus, it failed spectacularly.
Anyway after a really long time and surprising enough very few strange looks from passing moles, there where actually a lot of moles passing by.
(You have gained the skill 'dirt construct')
[uh huh so what's that do?]
(It improves the hosts ability to make things with dirt, this includes the speed at which host makes or shapes the dirt construct, as well as the how hard it is to break said constructs)
[well that sounds useful]
That sounds like trash! How am I gonna make golems with that!!!
Arrrggggg.
Wait Maybe if I get it to max level it can evolve just like me.
But just in case….
[system can skills evolve when they reach max lvl]
(That is correct)
Wait why did the system sound surprised, did I do something surprising, I don't think I did, I guess my system is just strange,
That being said back to playing with dirt.
But first I'm gonna get some food from the old mole.
That kid is very strange, oh he stoped playing in the dirt, and he's walking towards me…why is he walking to me!! For some reason I have a sense of foreboding.
"Food" the little mole says when he reaches me, with a look of expectation.
"And why would I give you food?" I ask defensively.
"Hungry" the little mole announces with tears in his eyes.
"Fine dammit!" I shout trying to sound angry while shoving a pile of worms to the little brat.
Huh I never thought it would be that easy to get some food from him, but it's not like I'm gonna feel bad for tricking him.
Now with that said, time to dig in.
-a short while later-
Okay that was great.
(Gained 61 Exp)
That quite a bit of Exp, not as much as yesterday but still alot
My status look like this now.

....
Yep still trash but getting closer to lvl 3, yeah! Woohoo.
God I miss coffee.
It's settled as soon as I get the chance I'm finding coffee.
Now back to the dirt, I know I'll make a giant robot like in that show with the teens and aliens, where the teens go around in tights.
-a long while of dirt playing later-
Ah ha my mega-mole masterpiece is finally complete,
It just looks like that big old mole, only half the size and looks more like a robot with pipes and wires, all made of dirt and for show of course, not like it can transform but if it could I would make it a giant drill.
The kid is actually pretty good at that, what he's made now looks sort of like me just smaller and with a bunch of useless horns on its body, it looks really interesting , maybe I should try out making stuff with dirt too, after all the more I see that kid enjoying it the more I want to try it.
(Skill 'dirt construct has levelled up multiple times due to a great accomplishment while using the skill)
Ehh it went up 5 levels what the hell!!!!
I guess that giant robots is the way to level this skill up properly.
Huh where did the big mole go, oh there he is, wait he's playing with dirt to, wait that brings me a good question….
[system does everyone in this world have that ability to gain skills and see their status]
(That is correct however the host's system is far more advanced and has many features the host just has not discovered them, the inhabitants of this world can only see their status and gain skills, does this answer hosts question?)
[ yes thanks system]
(Once again it was my pleasure host)
I hope the old mole can get the dirt construct skill as well, so I'm not the only weirdo playing in the dirt.
Oh I got a skill 'dirt construct' oh it levels up pretty quick it's already level 9, I suppose it levels up faster if you use larger amounts of dirt.
I should check my status.
