Chapter 11 - Light
I woke up after some time. I don't know how long I have slept but it does not matter for now because I can feel my stomach complaining to me now. I walked towards my food and I started to eat first, the big centipede. I don't know how but I finished it quickly than before making me amazed at my own stomach and after I ate it, I was full.

I ate two more centipedes which made me full and then I laid at the floor to rest. After laying at the floor, I checked my Poison Body skill to see the changes at the skill.
Poison Body (Level 1):
Can make poison at any part of the body such as the fangs or claws. Can't be damage by poison but instead you can be healed by poison.
Consume 5 Mana when using.
Amazing! Now I can make poison with any part of my body. Thinking of putting poison at my claws and then using Power Slash will make the damage more devastating. Not only that but now I also have a way to heal my self. I can consume poison and then heal by using it. Maybe I can heal if I use poison at my claws or fangs and then consuming it. So I tried using it and then I can see that it worked.
+3
This Poison Body can help me heal myself. It gave me an offense, defense towards poison, and more importantly a way to heal myself at the cost of mana. I don't even use mana so now it made me have a skill that can use it.
My plan for now is to first consume this centipedes before going forward towards the back of the centipedes nests. The Foul Eater level up making me able to eat 9 centipedes per day. So I will first spend my day here before I try to move away from here.
Even though I killed the big centipede, I don't think I am powerful and I think this dungeon is the lowest level of dungeon because I don't see humans here hunting. I wish after crossing over the tunnel at the back of the centipedes nest will be the exit of this dungeon.
Thinking about the outside of the dungeon makes me happy. I wish that I will see trees and the sunlight. It's so dark here and gloomy. For now I should rest and finish eating the centipedes because their is no use thinking about the other side of the tunnel. So I slept after a while.
I woke up after a long sleep and ate the remaining 7 centipedes which gave me 56 EXP and that helped me level up. I looked up at my current MENU to see the changes of my stats.

I am satisfied with how much growth I got after several days of hard work.
Before I set myself to go and move towards the tunnel, I first made myself summon another shadow clone for safety purposes. I then moved towards the tunnel and this time I walked like last time because I still don't know what I will face at the end of the tunnel.
I walked for a long time and if I will estimate it I walked for 3 hours or so. I don't know why but this tunnel is long and I still don't see any lights. I did not encounter any traps or monsters along the way but I still did not relax and stayed alert.
1 more hour or so passed and that was when I see a light so run towards it because I was excited even though it hurts to see the light. I run not for long and then I reached the end of the tunnel but I was disappointed to see that the source of light was not the sunlight. It was a fire torch and I can see that there are 10 torches and in the middle of the fire torches was a door.
I did not go into the door first but looked at myself. This is the first time that I saw what color of fur I have. I was surprised to see that I have white paws and blue fur all over me. It was light blue like what you see when you look into the sky. I wish there was a mirror for me to see my face. I can also see my tail being completely white.
I was mesmerized by my own color because I have never seen a cat with blue and white fur.
I then observed the door in front of me before going. I'm scared to open it and see that it contains only traps or even worse but a curse. I did not try to open it yet for an hour. I observed it within that hour but sadly I did not find anything strange about it.
After a while of contemplating in opening the door, I made a resolute face and made my way towards the door. I mean this is the only way out and if I don't do anything I will only starve to death. So I made my shadow clone jump at the doorknob and turned it which did not open it at first. I tried again which this time I successfully open it.
After opening it, I was shocked to see that it was only a room full of books and in the corner is a bed. In the middle of the room lays a table. That was the only thing inside and there was no exit.
HOW WILL I GET AWAY FROM THIS DUNGEON!? WHERE IS THE EXIT!?
