Chapter 2 - SKILL

Xivel Woke up from his dream. 

Pant...

Pant...

Pant...

What a weird dream?

Xivel furrowed his bows.

Xivel was a little bit frightened because of the dream.

After a while he returned to his normal state.

Yawn…

Time to go off.

Xivel made a cover for his lower body from long leaves he collected by nearby trees and sewed them together from the rope he made by twisting the long strands of plants which he collected by nearby plants.

As he was thinking that the remaining set of clothes are too precious to use daily as they easily tear up, he didn't want to go around naked in the future.

As not being able to find any monsters in the marknov,s forest he set out on a small journey to make himself familiar with the marknov,s forest in which he was staying in according to the manual and he also had another motive to go on this which was to find water and food as the system gave only 90 pieces of bread and a large leather bag of water which was not sufficient for a growing tenager which he was now in this world and the large appetite of his.

After walking around for 30 min Xivel came across a white rabbit and decided to hunt the white rabbit by setting a trap for the white rabbit by placing a piece of bread on the ground from his dimensional storage and hid in the nearby bushes around the piece of bread which he placed on the ground for the trap.

He thought that it would be easy and started to imagine himself catching the white rabbit with one hand.

Soon after some time the white rabbit appeared around the trap which Xivel had set for the white rabbit and after some time the white rabbit noticed the piece of bread and headed towards it, as soon as the rabbit came very close to the piece of bread which Xivel had placed on the ground for him Xivel tried to jump and catch the rabbit but the rabbit also wasn't not a fool.

The white rabbit grabbed the piece of bread by his teeth fiercely before Xivel approached him and the white rabbit ran fastly away from Xivel before could catch him and Xivel made a fool of himself by throwing himself on the ground and hurting his jaw and tongue which came between his teeths.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

Xivel shouted angrily at the white rabbit and throwed fists at the ground in anger and then sprinted towards the white rabbit with his full might and after a small fierce chase and some close cases of catching the white rabbit but in between the chase somewhere the white rabbit had disappeared completely.

 Pant...

Pant...

Pant…

Why is it so hard to catch this white rabbit but in the novels Other Main Characters hunted the monsters very easily.

But Xivel was also very determined and didn't want to take a loss by losing a piece of bread which was very precious to him because a piece of bread amounts to a one time meal for him by losing it means missing a meal in a day which amounts to low energy and less productivity.

Xivel was a good and hardworking person but he was also a very calculative person. The first thing he did every time in his past life after meeting other people and other scenarios was calculating what would be the most beneficial choice for him.

Xivel had become a very calculative person because of the bad life he lived in his past. He was also a very cautious person because of that he didn't have any friends in his past life.

So he set one more trap for the white rabbit by placing two pieces of bread this time beside a tree and by hiding inside the branches of the tree he thought that as soon as the white rabbit came near the pieces of bread he would jump on the white rabbit and catch it.

After waiting for an a hour there was no sign of white rabbit showing up as Xivel didn't wanted take and loss and also was a very patient man and then he waited another 3 hours while imagining about how good the white rabbit will taste as he hasn't eaten his fill after coming to this world and survived on dry pieces of bread until now.

Xivel rested leisurely on the tree branches taking different positions to make himself comfortable. After three hours the white rabbit finally appeared.

But the white rabbit also wasn't a fool; it had also anticipated that a human was trying to catch it.

Then the white rabbit ran towards the two pieces of bread as fast as it could as soon as the white rabbit grabbed the two pieces of bread with his teeths Xivel jumped beside the white rabbit and tried to catch it. 

As the white rabbit saw the Xivel trying to catch him he escaped as quickly as he could. The white rabbit jumped towards the tree as fast as he could and shifted his direction with his claws by taking support from the tree and ran away from there.

"Rumble"

"Rumble"

"Rumble"

Xivel suddenly started laughing.

Hahahhah…

As Xivel was a very calculative person he had already anticipated from his first encounter with the white rabbit that it would be very hard to catch the rabbit with his speed by normal means.

So he laid a trap at the start by digging a hole by his hands and covered it with some long leaves and placed some soil on the long leaves to give a illusion of it being real as he had already thought that the rabbit will be in a rush because of wanting to escape as fast as the white rabbit could and because of that Xivel had thought that the white rabbit would easily fall on to his trap.

Xivel also took another measure to catch the white rabbit by preventing the white rabbit to go to other paths by blocking the other paths with his body by jumping beside him and leading it towards the trap and then letting the white rabbit run away which gave the white rabbit a feeling of relief and which lowered the white rabbit,s guard making white rabbit fall into Xivel,s trap which he had made from the start.

With this, now this is my victory.

Xivel loved to watch wildlife shows in his past life so with his past life knowledge and calculative personality he was able to catch the white rabbit finally and Xivel was overjoyed and filled with happiness and small tears of happiness were coming out of his eyes.

Finally I can now eat something other than bread.

Xivel then took out the white rabbit from the hole he had dug and grabbed the white rabbit by its legs and started to head towards his temporary home.

Xivel wasn't even a little bit sad even after losing a whole day's meal because to him the tasty rabbit meat was more important and he wanted to eat it as fast as he could so he sprinted toward his temporary home without stopping anywhere. Finally after reaching his temporary home he stopped.

Xivel was very happy after seeing his first skill and wanted to use it immediately but before that he killed the rabbit.

YOU HAVE KILLED A LEVEL 3 WHITE RABBIT 

YOU HAVE GAINED 750 EXP 

Huh..

So this was a level 3 rabbit that's why it was so hard to catch this rabbit.

Then Xivel cut the layer of skin of the rabbit very calmly and professionally as he himself was a butcher.

In his past life he had to do every type of odd jobs for living as he was in a bad financial state. He also did some butchering in his past life because of that it was as easy as flipping his hand for him. 

After butchering the rabbit layer by layer he then stored it at dimensional storage for it to stay fresh.

Xivel than headed outside in excitement to experience using his new skill.

DASH..

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Hahahah…

It feels amazing, Xivel happily said.

Xivel was very happy and amazed with his new skill as it was his first time experiencing something so magical like which he had never anticipated in his past life that he would ever experience something like this.

Every time Xivel used his new skill he would feel a surge of power throughout his body and would feel like he could do anything.

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

Swoosh…

After using the new skill 5 times more in fun, amazement and happiness he forgot that it uses stamina. He fell down on the ground after the final use.

Ahhhhhhh…

Shit i forgot about stamina use. 

Ahhhhhhh… 

His whole body was in pain and he couldn't even move or lift a finger hoping to recover as soon as possible he started to nag himself and vowed that he would never do such a foolish thing as this again in his life until he was in a dangerous movement.

As he couldn't do anything besides lying down so he opened his status.

Status open.
