The Serpent was slowly crawling towards Alex. While Alex had no idea behind him was a huge Serpent aiming for his life.
The Serpent was massive, even more larger than the Ancient Snake. It was bound to make noises no matter how quietly it moves.
Alex immediately turns back, it was a huge creature. It looked like a hybrid of Dragon and Snake, but most importantly, it was massive. It was about 45 meters tall.
Alex's body quickly turned away and starts running by itself. Pure Adrenaline pushed Alex beyond what his body could handle.
[Agility : 30] >> [Agility : 30.3] >> [Agility : 30.5] >> [Agility : 30.7]
[Quick Dash has been activated!]
Whenever he had to make huge leap, he was using the skill. Alex's eyes were glaring at each and every tree and where to land his feet, like a wild animal.
And whenever he sees a huge root, he uses quick dash to enhance his speed even more. Alex was moving like the literal wind itself.
Despite his stamina running out, Alex's pace didn't seem to slow down at all.
Alex was in the Zone!
He comes across an old huge tree blocking his path, he swings his fist and pierces through the object. Alex didn't feel any pain at all even though his fist was bleeding.
Alex was running at 40 kilometer per hour and his speed was further amplified by the quick dash skill.
But everything comes at a cost, this time it was vitality.
[Vitality : 19]
Alex immediately looses consciousness.
An hour passed by -
Alex was still sleeping almost as if dead. The forest was completely silent and peaceful.
[Vitality : 250/570]
Soon a huge toad jumps right into Alex's face. Jumpscared, Alex immediately throws it and looks left and right. "Did the Serpent caught me?"
Alex snaps back and calms down. "Phew, it was just my imagination"
Coming back to his normal sense, Alex now finds himself again in another mysterious place. The place looked a little healthier than it ever was, there were some grasses here and there and some unique flowers and mushrooms were all over the place.
Alex had already ran far enough but he was still somewhat skeptical. He started wondering around the unknown forest extremely cautiously.
It hasn't even been 3 days and I met two Giant Snakes that you could only hear in fairytales, not even Python or Anaconda is half as big as those two. The Spider is one thing, the Dragon's existence itself is the most shocking. Just what kind of place have I come to?
Soon he sees an extremely massive tree about 400 kilometers away, it was so tall it could even reach the clouds, it's branches were extremely massive too. Four mysterious beings were flying around the tree. He couldn't see them properly, but in a glance one would conclude it was the Dragons.
Alex gulps down his saliva. For the first time he felt genuine fear. If that one Dragon could scare the Ancient Snake, with four of them it would be extremely dangerous. I don't know if the Dragons hate humans or not, but I'm not taking any stupid risk.
'So what if I was mysteriously teleported into this dangerous place, I will never die that easily.'
Alex turns back to where he came from staring at those mysterious creatures flying.
'With the help of this system I'm gonna make myself so strong that I won't have to fear any beings in this ridiculous world.'
"Lets find the sword first, my strength stat is stagnating a lot".
Alex checks his stats.

Alex's eyes widened once again upon seeing the ridiculous jump in Agility. "Oh ya I forgot that I'm almost gonna be Level 2 aswell."
"And the best way to become a Level 2 is through defeating the rabbit. Once I catch it I will finally see a glimpse of me surviving in this New World."
Alex starts warming up, hopping around and swinging his fist as if he was gonna go on a boxing match against the rabbit. While still being cautious of his surroundings, Alex searches for his 1 day long rival.
While on his way, he finds a place full of mushrooms, they looked very clean and in good shape. Of course Alex wasn't dumb enough to get sold by it's appearance and decided to ignore it.
But, he was hungry after overworking his body. 'I still have poison resistance so I won't die easily at least, but if I meet any monsters in the process, I'm afraid it would be a disaster.'
"So should I risk it? Is it worth the risk?"
While Alex was over thinking, he sees a pretty sturdy tree. He picks up the mushrooms and uses dash skill to reach to the tree's tip.
The mushrooms looked like marshmallows but right upon eating it, the system reminds him of poison. It actually tasted good. For the first time in a while, Alex tasted something tasty.
He turns back to the mushrooms, jumps down from the tree and eats all the marshmallows. Few minutes later, all of the mushrooms were gone.
[Poison Resistance has leveled up!]
[Poison Resistance : Level 1]
Alex couldn't find any more mushrooms in the area and since he wasn't hungry anymore, he left the place.
Something revolutionary happened the moment his poison resistance skill leveled up.
All his stats increased by 5+
He wasn't sure why it happened or how, but sooner or later he would figure it out.
Stats :
[Strength : 22.8]
[Stamina : 29.7]
[Agility : 45.3]
Alex now felt more confident than ever to face the rabbits.
From a mile away he his Sage Eyes activates and he sees a rabbit passed by his sight. Even the Sage Eyes had gotten quicker and stronger, the same was for his other skill, Quick Dash.
In less than a minute, Alex was near the rabbit, before the rabbit could even realise Alex had grabbed it in his neck. The rabbit had sharp claws and swings it towards Alex, luckily Alex's reflex had gotten faster. He leaves the rabbit and dodges it's claws.
Once the rabbit was free he starts running away extremely fast, even more faster than Alex. That is when Alex realises that rabbits were just playing with him earlier, this current rabbit was running at 150 kilometers per hour. It was extremely fast. What if this was the average speed of rabbits?
"I never had a chance" Alex just laughs at himself.
Tired, Alex just sits near a tree. A snake was residing on top of the tree, once it sense Alex's presence the snake suddenly attacks him, Alex was fast to respond and catches it in it's neck, not that he was afraid of any poison but justbeing cautious. A prey? or Food?
[You have slain a Tiger Snake!]
[You have gained 3 exp!]
[You have leveled up!]
[Rewards are being distributed!]
Alex finally levels up! That too through the very thing that he hated. The Snakes.
