Zack checked his status window, there seem to be some changes to his stats, except for the LUCK stat.
"Hmm, I didn't get an exp after I convert that horned rabbit? It appears that killing some monsters is the fastest way to gain exp." Zack contemplated.
"And also what hell with this skill cooldown, don't tell me I can only convert once a week? I even anticipated getting stronger by using only conversion skills, but it appears that the system doesn't want me to." he calm down. "But it's okay, I will have to wait while leveling up. Now that I can move freely, I have no problem finding some monsters to kill and gained exp."
He proceeded to walk where was the ant located, "Maybe my first kill choice will be that ant monster."
Zack walked past through the bush where the Horned Rabbit was hiding. He found the tall tree and jump onto its branches.
"I hope it works," he commands the system.
"System Scan"
[Scanning the area 1, 2... 5 meters]
[Scan Complete]
"Hahaha it works" Zack was elated, he thought that only by using the skill (Conversion) could he only use the scan features of the system.
[Congratulations Host]
[You've unlocked a new feature of the system: MAP]
"What!? Great, it seems the system knows what I need" Zack said happily.
Then above the left area of his view, he can see a faint square shape of a blue map. He saw a blue dot, a gray, and a red dot.
"Hmm, so the blue dot is me, and the gray dot, it seems to indicate like materials, as for the red dot, its indicate as an enemy. That must be the red metallic ant." Zack checked the map carefully and then found 5 meters away from him where the was ant located.
He jumped from one branch to another using his small feet until he reach the area where the ant was located on the map.
He saw a thick grass with a human tall high. At the center of it, the creature with almost 2-meter feet high surrounded by a bush. The creature looks like it is eating a fruit that comes from a bush.
"So that's the red metallic ant huh." he stare at the ant, Zack's eyes seem to be full of wonder and amazement, well it can't be helped since Zack came from a normal world where magic and monsters don't exist in reality.
The Red metallic ant exoskeleton was like metal, it reflects the lights that come from the surroundings, tainted with a red color, it appears to be domineering.
"Other than its metal-like exoskeleton, body size, and big mandibles. You are no different than the ant in my home world." he jumped to a branch of the nearby tree and observed his surroundings. He is also thinking of a way how to kill the ant.
Zack's eyes lit up, and after a few moments of thinking, he comes out with a plan. He slowly steps forward at the back of the ant and hides in the bush. His plan was simple, firstly he has to hide inside the bush, then observe if he could find a moment, and after that, he'll sneak attack the ant and kill it. (AN: simple right?)
Zack started to move, he proceeded with his plan smoothly. After a few minutes, when the ant was distracted, Zack jumps out into the bush.

[You've unlocked the new feature: INVENTORY]
"Ohhhh" Zack screamed in joy, he was so happy that he leveled up. After that, he checks the new feature of the system.
'Inventory' he called out his mind.
--------------------
INVENTORY]
White Crystal Core x1
White Crystal Core: a crystal core that contains a small amount of mana. This crystal core can also use to replenish mana.
--------------------
"It seems that the valuable items automatically enter in my inventory, cool." then he looked at the ant corpse, "Sad to say my conversion skill is on cooldown right now." he sighed. "I'll better keep this corpse, for now, maybe it might have any other uses like if I ever find a city and sold it there."
Zack wave his hand and the nearly 2 meters ant corpse suddenly disappeared in front of him.
After that, Zack began to think of what he wanted to do next. "Looking at the ant roams around this area, I think its colony is somewhere not far from here."
And then he started to explore the forest using his small body. A moment later after exploring the area, Zack encounters another monster, the monster is similar to a boar in Zack's home world, but the difference is that it has two heads and its body is larger than a normal boar.
"What a boar" he looked at the boar in fascination. No matter how he thinks it is, this place is not the earth anymore, and magic exists in this world. That is why he is always amazed if he sees a monster.
Same as before, Zack uses his system scan to identify the monster in front of him.
"I wish I had an appraisal of the system features, but I'm still satisfied with the system's generosity to me" he smiled and looked at the prompt in his view.
--------------------
Twin-Headed Boar: just like its name, it has two heads and the size is much larger than any other boars out there. This boar's meat is a real delicacy and special because it contains a huge amount of mana.
--------------------
"Great, I can eat some meat tonight." Zack laughed while licking his lips especially when he read the description.
He circled the boar and do a sneak attack, he is using the same strategy just like before while taking advantage of the fast speed of his current form.
Zack jumps and activates the skill DASH to instantly appear above the two heads of the boar. He aim for the neck and used the skill HEAD-THRUST.
Puchi-
'Roarrrr'
He easily pierces the neck of the boar just like tofu. The boar cries in pain, it turned around and attempts to bite Zack.
Zack reacted instantly, he do a side step and jump backward and distance to the boar.
"That was close, I thought I can kill it in one shot." he looked at the boar, its neck has a fist hole and the blood keeps coming out of it. Zack was shocked by the boar's vitality.
The boar charged at him. Zack immediately jump upwards and the boar smashed into a tree behind him. The boar was stunned for a second. "A chance." then Zack use his HEAD-THRUST again, and this time, his horn pierce through the neck bone of the boar, snapped and the boar collapsed.
[You gain 15 exp]
"Whew, that was exciting." he smiled while wiping his imaginary sweat on his forehead. He looked at the dead boar. "Such a big meat to feast, Hahaha" he laughed uncontrollably then suddenly,
Roaarrrr-
"You've gotta be kidding me."
