[Horned rabbit lvl 12]
It's 10 levels above mine. It should have high agility but low defense so if I catch it off guard it may go? It's blood also doesn't smell that strong. Well moms here so best to experiment while I can. I think I can hit with max 2 feathers because I don't know how to focus all on one spot.
I make one dagger of the blood I collected from the panther and one of my own blood. Time to test if there's a difference in blood quality. I silently move down a few branches so I am 6 meters above the rabbit. It's really easy to move silently without being directed. I think it's a mix of my hunt instinct, natural stealth and stealth boost from being in the shadow.
I stretch my wings, make myself ready to take off and GO!
The rabbit notice me too late and I stab both of my daggers in its head. The badger of the panther blood goes halfway in before braking, but the dagger of my own blood goes straight to the brain without resistance and kills the rabbit instantly.
[You killed a horned rabbit lvl 12]

[All stats increased by 4]
[12 free stats gained]
Nice. 4 levels in one kill. Totally worth it. And the rabbit tastes so good too.
Let's think about the daggers. My dagger of my blood is better than the panthers. This means that each different race has a different blood quality that directly affects the blood skills. And the level of the creature the blood comes from probably changes it too.
Let's test that. I change the panther blood with the rabbit blood. My bank doesn't have that much storage at level one. It's hard to say how much though.
Now, where is my next prey? That way. Doing the usual I find myself above a monkey. It is two branches beneath me.
[Brown monkey lvl 8]
They look like ordinary monkeys, but when they enter a battle they become enraged. They get sharp claws, 5% increase in all physical stats and glows red with a frightening aura. This is able to take most creatures by surprise. Giving the monkey a huge advantage.
I'm glad I focused at school about everything that have with adventuring to do.
But what would the best way to defeat that monkey be? He or she is ca. 28 meters above the ground so a fall should do much damage. Yes, lets go with stap and push.
I create two daggers, one of each different blood. And take off. Right when I take off the monkey turns around and sees me. He dodge to the left, but I am still able to stab his shoulder with one dagger making him fall down off the branch. Before he can grab me I take out my wings and slow down the fall. When I have gained some distance I shoot blood feathers twice and hit him before he hits the ground. One of my blood and the other of the rabbits. The result is that the rabbit blood does more damage.
The monkey hits the ground.
[Broun monkey lvl 8 killed]
I start drinking its blood. So the level of the monster the blood comes from makes a big difference. So blood quality and level.
Well next prey is that way. I was about to run again when I smelled another human. Is it another new awakend? Let's find out.
I find a human on a branch with a bow aiming at a horned rabbit.
[Ethan lvl 16]
[Horned rabbit level 14]
He fires the arrow, but something strange happens. It dispers. Well that was what I thought until it reappeared when outside the shadow and hit the rabbit right between its eyes. That's both a good shot and a strange ability. Then he surprises me again by looking right in my direction. He searches in my direction until his eyes meet mine. He looks to be 17 or 18, green eyes and quite good looking. We stare at each other for some time until he motions with his hand for me to come down to him. Why not I think and jump down. He seems surprised when I just casually jump down until I stretch out my wings and land beside him.
"With those red eyes of yours and the blood in the corner of your mouth I would guess you're a vampire, but not with your wings. Would it be rude to ask what race you are?" he asks.
"Hehe, you get 2 questions and one guess"
"Hmm, are you part vampire?"
"Uhh, kinda or no or maybe? I guess I could say that I am similar to a vampire? Not sure how to answer that question" I need to think about this later.
"Ok, are you a hybrid between two different races?"
"I'm not a hybrid" I'm not a hybrid and the different genes my race comes from is way more than two.
"Then I guess you are a, a, yeah I have no idea" he says.
"Good luck finding out. So, Ethan, what was with that arrow you shot? Is it a skill that makes arrows invisible in the shadow? And how did you obtain it at your level?" I ask.
"Good look finding out" I pout at that answer.
I get close to his face, and try to make a cute face with puppy eyes and ask "Oh please. Won't you tell me? Pleeeease?"
He plushes and says "Well uhh, its, a special, ski, wait why am I telling you. Get away from my face" he push me away.
"Ouch, you are hurting me, how can you be so rude. I was just curious" *sniff *sniff. I fake getting hurt and being sad. It seems to have a little effect on him, but not enough.
A grin forms on his face that I don't like. "Your a succubus aren't you. Be careful or you may get assaulted by almost every man on the academy your going to"
"I'm not a succubus!" that was insulting.
"Then why are you acting like one. Well it wasn't hard to make you stop. Judging by your reaction I guess you're a race proud of itself"
I pout and look away.
"Hehe, but which academy are you going to?" he asks
Proud with my hands on my hip I say "Nightingale academy"
"Oh guess I will see you there"
"You to are going there too? Oh, by the way. While we was talking that tiger stole your rabbit" I point at the tiger that runs away with the rabbit in its mouth. Already to far away for Ethan to kill it
"Why din't you say anything?!" he asks clearly irritated
"You din't tell me your secret and pushed me? Try being more friendly to a lady next time hehehe" I laugh while running away.
"You bratt" I hear him says while i head for the next play. Without the rabbit horn he can't get any cash for it. Wait. I stop. I haven't collected any proof of my kills! Urgh, I had too much fun hunting and forgot. Well I just have to start now then.
I'm about to run in a direction when I see a spider net and a spider the size of a lion between two branches. I freeze and imagine that all the color on my face just left. I imagine myself stuck in a net while a huge spider slowly descend from above towards me. And I can't do anything else than to stare at it coming to eat me.
I decide to drop the prey in that direction and hunt another one.
I hate spiders.
I start running towards my next prey. When I come to my destination I find a big bear.
[Dire bear lvl 26]
Ok. That one is way above my lvl. No way I'm going to challenge that. When I found the wolves it was easy to smell a power difference between them, but it wasn't easy to smell that the bear was too strong for me. Is it because I could compare the wolves? Maybe I just need more training. I start heading for my next prey.
