Chereads / Solipsism / Chapter 3 - rabbits taste like...

Chapter 3 - rabbits taste like...

i did the sleeping, i did the drinking, now is the eating part left to do.

i dont want to eat anything poisonous again, so I'll try and look for some meat, meat... meeaat.

while i was mentally drooling over some nice and tasty slice of delicious grilled meat, i smelled something in the distance, guessing by smell, its leaving a trail of its smell as it walks, im guessing its an animal based on that.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (smell) ----

i quickly hide behind a tree since it's approaching me slowly, very slowly. after getting closer to me it stops, while still hiding i peek out a bit, and what i found shocked me.

---- 〔skill〕 - gained - (stealth) ----

no, not really, it was just a bunny. nothing special, aside being coloured green, but who cares.

the rabbit was to eat from the ground as i was watching it, quite unhygienic if i say so myself, then again, rabbits may have the five second rule extended to a five year rule.

the rabbit continues eating without a care to the world, not minding whatever i think, how rude.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (stealth) ----

i place my hand on the tree and at the place my hand touched started to freeze. the ice extended down the tree slowly reaching the ground, once it reached the ground it's way towards the rabbit.

after a few minutes of of the ice moving, it finally reached the rabbit. the rabbit, seemingly unaware of the cold demise creaping on it. the ice slowly freezes its hind legs. the rabbit, still eating away at the grass.

thats when when the rabbit lifts its head up and dashes out, possibly aware of the cold. that's when Jeneshisu jumps out and runs towards the rabbit. the rabbit, normally rather agile, felt slow, numb, and cold. Jeneshisu jumps towards bunny catching it. holding the rabbit in her arms, she whispers.

"thats enough, no more." Jeneshisu says in a calm tone.

as the rabbit struggling in her hand, the rabbit movement slowly slowing down, until the rabbit finally stopped moving. the rabbit laid numb on her hands.

———~~———~~———~~———~~———

well, that was that. i caught the rabbit, that part was worked out. i unfroze the the rabbit in all parts except its legs, (just incase it runs). but that part was unnecessary, since the rabbit had died apon my hands.

------ 〔skill〕 - gained - (assassination) ------

hmm, i gained quite alot of skills recently. while im making my way back to the waterfall, rabbit in hand, lets check what new skills i got.

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (fainting resistance) --->

your resistance to fainting.

----------------------------------------------------

thats... literally its name.

what about the cold one?

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (cold resistance) --->

your ability to withstand the cold decrease in temperature.

----------------------------------------------------

atleast it isn't just rearranged differently.

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (starvation resistance) --->

your ability to last longer without food.

----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (fatigue resistance) --->

your ability for your stamina to last longer.

----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (dehydration resistance) --->

your ability to last longer without water.

----------------------------------------------------

these three sound similar. although i wonder how long can i last without anything? if i knew how long i slept for, i might figure that out.

now, almost all the skills i got before where resistances, now i got some actual normal skills. well, normal is subjective, very subjective.

---------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (stealth) --->

your ability to hide from observers.

----------------------------------------------------

umm, i guess?

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (assassination) --->

your ability to kill the target secretly without the targets knowledge.

----------------------------------------------------

see? what did i say about being subjective? very, very subjective at that.

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (predators instincts) --->

the natural instincts given to a predator. the instincts to hunt down prey.

----------------------------------------------------

i guess that makes me a predator. well, both foxes and humans are predators.

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (Fox frost) --->

by using ◇●■♧` through ●■□○ you can generate an elemental ice known as "Fox ice".

----------------------------------------------------

what are the encrypted parts? but aside from the encrypted parts, this is accurate, i think...?

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (◇●■♧ vessel) --->

through the injection and over dose of ◇●■♧, your vessel has been adapted to be able to withstand the unnatural excess of ◇●■♧.

----------------------------------------------------

how nice, even more encryption. isn't annoying, not at all.

any-cow! i know what one of the encrypted parts are, this one ◇●■♧. i dont know how to explain really, but the best way i can explain it is, its a type of energy.

its a type of energy that i use to make ice (and more), kinda like magic (sadly, magic isnt real). if i stop moving (which i just did) and lift my free hand up infront of me, close my eyes and concentrate for a bit, i start seeing it. (well, perceive is more correct if i take into account the fact my eyes are closed).

the energy is all within my body. from my hand all the way to my toes. in every strand of hair, even eyebrows and eyelashes include.

---- 〔skill〕 - gained - (◇●■♧ perception) ----

i put my finger in my mouth and bit it, holding my hand out until my blood spilled. i find the energy in my blood even.

i noticed that i cant see the energy as well as i could when its like this, at least not when compared to my body.

i tried to focus on it as much as i could, while still being aware of my surroundings. i focused on my index finger, and the amount of energy in my blood gets clearer.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (◇●■♧ perception) ----

after a bit of time standing around, seemingly doing nothing, but infact, i was trying to see as far as i could into the blood that was on my index finger.

-

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (◇●■♧ perception) ----

"finally." i mumbled with a small smile on my face.

i finally managed to see that the blood droplet has an equal or a very close amount of energy to the rest of my body. i swiped the blood on my index with my thumb and found the wound already healed.

now, why did seeing the amount of 'energy' in my blood take so long compared to the rest of my body? i have a theory on why.

i placed my free hand on a nearby tree and concentrate. after a minute or two, i started seeing the 'energy' as i call it.

checking the amount i can see, i can say that i can see roughly three centimeters away from my hand into the tree.

after a bit of this, the distance increased to four centimeters (give or take) and the clarity of the 'energy' increased.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (◇●■♧ perception) ----

calling it energy all the time is a bit annoying. so, why don't i call it... how about 'anima'?

yeah, anima sounds much better. alright, anima it is.

this confirms my theory. the farther the anima is from my body, the harder it is to sense it.

i lifted my hand from the tree and started making my way towards the waterfall. guessing the time... id guess it took roughly one hour. looking towards the rabbit in my hand i felt glad i froze it earlier. although it took an hour (probably more) i think it was worth it, considering i leveled anima perception up to level five.

i got quite a few skills in this small journey. although I've been getting alot of skills by doing, just about anything.

any-who, i arrived to my destination, the waterfall.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (mental map) ----

why thank you~

i strode by the rivers side, behind the waterfall, and now in the cave. in my cave i put rabbit down and unfroze it.

----〔skill〕 - leveled up - (Fox frost) ----

i turn one of my fingers into a claw and cut the rabbits hide open. cutting the head out and toss it to the corner.

---- 〔skill〕 - gained - (morph) ----

i cut the belly with my hand finger claw thingy™ and picked up the rabbit and dumped its insides on the head and hide of the rabbit. i precede with freezing them so they don't rot and stink.

i went back to the rabbit and started cutting out any part that seemed edible. legs, shoulders, etc. in the end i got left with butchered up rabbit ready for the taking.

"it's rather well cut if i do say so myself which i do say so myself. especially considering this is my first time doing it." i said, with a small smile on my face while looking at my work.

lifting a thigh, i look at it and think to myself, do i want to eat this raw? not really.

it's been a while since I last used this, last time it went... less than spectacular. i point my finger towards the thigh and concentrate, after a small bit of time, a small ember emerged, only be extinguished by me flinching back. nope. not worth it, i can just eat it raw.

taking the thigh to my mouth, i take a nice bite off of it, an then, only THEN do i get a bad feeling.

... deja vu?

!! i flinched back because it happend again, i got FUCKING poisoned again.

why is everything poisoned. just why.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (intuition) ----

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (intuition) ----

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (instinct) ----

ohh, fuck off. you only tell me this after i already been poisoned. useless skill.

"uhh." the poison finally wore off. since i ate only a bite, it didn't take as long as last time for it to ware off.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (poison resistance) ----

oh for fucks sake. can't you make the poison not, poison?

*gwoooooooooooo-*

i don't want to, i really don't want to take another bite but my stomach hungers for pain. why do i have a masochist for a stomach?

i drag my ass to the raw, very well cut (for an amateur) rabbit and take another bite.

ahhhggghhhh- i take another bite of pure suffering.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (poison resistance) ----

this isnt lessening the pain at all, what do you do if not resistance poison?

i feel my whole body burning and getting destroyed. but it's getting reconstructed as it gets destroyed. all thanks to this skill.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (regeneration) ----

taking yet another bite, i tried to distract myself with the taste... which was awful. it tasted really awfully bad, like extra bad on hot sauce bad.

---- 〔skill〕 - gained - (taste) ----

my sense of taste currently dieing, please leave a message after the beep.

this will take too long. so let me tell you what i gained.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up- (iron stomach) ----

ohh? i gained a new skill for eating the rabbit.

----------------------------------------------------

〔skill〕 - (iron stomach) --->

due to not being able to digest. your body has adapted to digesting normally non edible substances.

----------------------------------------------------

my body still hurts from eating the rabbit though.

---- 〔skill〕 - leveled up - (pain resistance) ----

thanks?

anyways, heres my soul grimoire after all of this.

who~ i got alot of skills~ how may is that? its one, two... twenty nine?

anyways, im no longer hungry, so that was taken care of.

i take a look outside and find night time had arrived. considering that when i entered my cave there was at least a few hours of sunlight left. i can conclude that eating that rabbit took way too long.

i walk back to comfortable spot in this cave and slump down. i may not be physically exhausted, but i sure am mentally.

---- 〔skill〕 - gained - (mental fatigue resistance) ----

that helped, only a little bit though. am i supposed leveled it up to one hundred so mental fatigue doesn't bother me?

welp, sleep time.
