Chapter 2 - Survival II

After hunting the bird, Leo moves to a more safer location.

'I should rest for sometime, seems like my vitality is low.'

For the next 60 minutes Leo takes a short nap as he recovers his vitality.

[Your Vitality has fully healed!]

After resting for an hour, Leo starts to walk immediately.

Leo was now determined to become stronger as he now knew how to grow stronger. Leo was more determined then ever was.

'I should start searching for more birds'

Leo starts walking around from a rock to rock as he cautiously look for the birds.

'Hunting birds may seem boring but what else can I do at my current level?'

'Now that I think about it, how strong will I get once I become level 2? This is gonna be interesting.'

After searching for five minutes, Leo saw a pair of two birds sitting on top of a rock, from the looks of it, it seems like they were sitting over a nest.

Although it might seem tempting to level up as soon as possible, Leo knew that he was way too weak. And this time around it wasn't just one bird but two, not to mention they were the same size as the first bird, which he barely fended off.

Leo didn't have any proper weapon, nor was it's vitality stable, so Leo steps back from the nest as far as he could.

[Current Vitality : 2/7)

Once Leo finds a great spot to hide, it was a cave like stone build up upon each other, he immediately goes over for a quick nap.

The first advantage Leo has was the power to not feel hungry, it was extremely advantageous for him as he could hide for as long as he needed.

The second advantage he holds was the knowledge, as he was previously a human he had all the knowledge from his past life.

And the final advantage he has, was most probably the most important and powerful depending on how he utilizes it.

It was the System. It basically gave him the ability to gather strength at an unreal way.

'I must make the best use of it, if I want to survive that is.'

Leo starts meditating with the hope to recover as fast as possible.

Ultimately he ends up meditating for 3 hours as even he didn't realised he had rested more than he expected. But after he opened his eyes the first he saw was another message along side the "Fully Recovered" message.

[You have gained a new passive skill]

[Insight : Level 0]

'Insight? I guess it must be due to my meditation, let's see what it is all about.'

(Insight : It is a passive skill that helps you improve your all 5 senses, it's effectiveness may vary on it's levels)

'Interesting, I just gained a useful skill without even trying hard.'

Leo tries to sense his surroundings with the new passive skill as he silently closes his eyes and takes a deep breathe.

As he slowly exhales he could feel the direction where the air is blowing precisely. As if his sensitivity has been upgraded.

'Alright, now that the preparations are completed it is time to make my move'

Leo gets up from his seat and takes out the rusty sword. "It is time to hunt"

The two birds were still in their nest. With the new passive skill Leo felt like he could see more of his surroundings clearly then ever, even more so than he had ever experienced in his previous life.

Leo was now observing extremely deeply to his surroundings. From right to left, down to up, his brain had just became more comfortable when focusing to the surroundings.

'Two blue birds comfortably resting, although I couldn't sense how many eggs are there but it seems like about 4-5 roughly.'

'The best way to hunt this two birds would be to kill them one by one.'

Leo throws a stone at the nest, due to his increased insight he was able to land the nest in just three try. As soon as it landed, the male bird starts to rush towards Leo.

Contrary to the bird, Leo was already prepared. Leo tried to fake run from the nest and as soon as the bird came close, Leo swings his sword with everything he got towards the bird's wings.

The bird fell straight to the ground instantly. As his wings were injured, the bird persistently flapped his wings to make him hump high into the ground.

He aims his sharp claws towards the fragile looking skeleton, Leo barely evaded the claws and swings his sword towards the bird's other wings. It wasn't as strong as before but it definitely hit the bird hard.

The female bird also rushes in as soon as it saw it's counter part was having a hard time.

It came directly and takes out it's claws filled with rage. Leo barely evaded it however his leg foot was injured.

'Shit... this is bad. They are too fast and sturdy then I expected. If only the sword was as good as other normal swords or if I had a slightly more strength.'

'Is this the end for me? Even my vitality is draining very quickly.'

[Vitality : 4/7]

'Am I gonna die like this? No way. Time for plan B.'

Leo quickly aims his sword towards the birds as if he had something up his sleeves. He took his stances against the birds with intimidating eyes as if he was ready to attack them at any moment.

Unlike the injured male bird, the female was hesitant, so it slowly walks towards Lewis with hesitation. One of the reason why it hesitated was because Leo was pointing it's sword towards the nest.

The bird quickly felt threatened so it slowly starts approaching.

'Good, this is unexpectedly going according to my plan more or less.'

As Leo got the birds attention, he now slowly walks behind and as soon as he got close to his hideout, he immediately starts running towards the hideout.

'Even if it comes inside the hideout it won't be able to raise it's wings as freely as before and most importantly it will be alone so it will be a trade for killing eachother. They will most likely go back, animals aren't smart but they know when it is life threatening.'

Just as Leo thought, the birds left him as it is and went back.

Meanwhile Leo starts to meditate as soon as possible. He wanted to recover as fast as he could and attack the birds when they are barely able to recover.

'The greatest advantage I have is this system, whenever my vitality is fully recovered all the injuries recovers along with it. I maybe the lowest rank skeleton but I am still an undead.'

'While the male bird would be barely recovering. And now that the female is alone I can handle both of them individually.'

[Vitality : 3/7]
