After taking that first step into the portal Leo instantly found himself in a new world illuminated by what seems to be bio luminescent moss and algae. As Leo fully exited the portal along with the rest of his team he looked around in amazement at the giant cave grotto that he was within. During this amazement, the portal they entered though closed behind them and another notification appeared.
Quest:
Kill 20 Serpent underlings
Kill 5 Serpents
Kill 1 Titan Boa (Boss)
Rewards: A common grade item
Looking at the quest Leo couldn't help but be disappointed by the grade of the reward. It has to be known that there exists 7 ranks of rewards. Common, uncommon, rare, ultra rare, legendary, mythical and unique. Whithin this wold there exists only 2 unique items and one of them is the planet itself.
After looking through the quest Leo finally took a defensive stance encase of danger which he should have done to begin with, luckily a monster wasn't at the entrance of the portal ready ti attack. Such events have caused the deaths of multiple high ranking adventures.
Whilst thinking about this Marcus yelled out "No visible dangers, Let's proceed" After saying this the group started ti move forward through the grotto in a defensive formation with Leo in the centre.
After 15 minutes of walking they finnaly came across the first group of monsters.
Name: Serpent underling
Level: 3
Skills: Venom
Description: An easy to kill monster
There were 5 of such monsters. Seeing this Leo got ready to use his transformation skill whilst he waited for Marcus's order. "Leo you take the lead with your transformation skill and we'll provide support." Leo only nodded before activating his transformation skill for the first time. As soon as Leo activated his skill a beastial instinct over took him as he started to grow hair all over his body and his head started to transform into that of a wolf. After transforming Leo let out a roar as he dashed forward towards the snake closest to him instantly biting down cutting it in half.
Leo instantly dodged to the left as three snakes pounced at him, because if the sudden movement Leo tripped falling on the floor. Seeing this Marcus immediately made a move jumping infront on Leo before anything bad could happen. "Are you alright Leo?" Mark asked whilst holding his shield blocking the other four snakes. All Leo could reply with was a growl as he quickly got up and sprinted back in front of Marcus for round 2.
Leo took a defensive stance waiting for the snakes to attack. As the snakes pounced at Leo, he sidestepped causing the four snakes to shoot by landing head first Into the dirt. Leo instantly reacted grabbing one snake by the tail slaming it into the ground killing it instantly. This kind of battle continued for the next couple minutes intill all the snakes were dead.
[You killed 5 Serpent underlings]
[You reached level 3, +1 to all stats]
"Well done young master" all the members of the team said in unison as they approached Leo as he deactivated his transformation. "Thankyou" Leo responded with a exhausted voice as he took a drink from his flask. It seems that his skill takes more than just mana it also puts stress on the users body.
After waiting for his skills cooldown to finish the group continued on encountering 2 more groups of Serpent underlings bringing the total up to 20. Of these 20 Leo killed 15 only requiring help from his group on one occasion when he was overwhelmed by ten Serpents.
[You have reached level 5, +3 all stats]
[You gained the [bite] skill]
Seeing this notification Leo couldn't help but smile because if two reasons his new skill and the fact that from level 5 to nine he will gain 2 instead of 1 point in each stat when he levels up. Thinking of this Leo opened his status.

Looking at his new skill and stats Leo was estatic but he didn't show it instead he just asked Marcus if he was ready to go as they approached the Serpents territory.
With the help of his party Leo managed to kill 5 Serpents willst Marcus and the others killed the rest. With these kills Leo was raised to level 7 gaining 4 more stat points.
Finally after half a day Leo and his party finally arrived at the boss room which contained the titan boa. As the main tank, Marcus slowly opened the doors leading to a giant 15 meter snake that could easily swallow a human.
Already transformed Leo rushed forward along with Marcus and the other tank in the party whilst the two mages and the priest supported from the back. Leo instantly activated his bite skill getting ready to attack but before he even got the chance a giant tail collided against his chest sending him flying into the wall. Leo quickly got up and once again started to move towards the boss but this time he was visibly slower then before he got hit. Because of this slowness Leo finally got the chance to check the bosses status.
