Ryan felt complicated as he looked at the rabbit. It was his first time killing a living creature, he felt a little scared but he assured himself.

'I had to kill anyway, who knows, one day i might fall in danger only because i am weak.' Ryan truly realized that the strong ruled this world, in a place where strength exist, strength means everything.

He thought that someday he will have kill a human, Ryan was reluctant to do so. But, he reminded himself that if he couldn't do such a thing he might come to regret his decision, so he decided to get used to it.

He wasn't sure how people in this world were, but he could remember that there was no such a thing as law. Which means, even if he killed somebody, no one would care unless the person he killed had someone behind him.

'I am still naive.' Ryan smiled wryly, he felt that his way of thinking was starting to change but he didn't care, he knew that it was for the best.

Ryan's thoughts were disturbed as he felt pain in his shoulder.

'Hiss, this rabbit is so ruthless.' Ryan had to thank his luck, because of the difference in height, the rabbit couldn't cause him any serious injuries. Nevertheless, he still felt pain. The rabbit's horn was pointed and sharp, and coupled with the momentum from the dash, the blow resulted in him recieving an injury.

The wound wasn't deep, and Ryan thought it was because of the different body he was in. But, blood could be seen dripping from his shoulder.

Ryan ignored the pain and collected the rabbit's corpse, he put it inside the pocket dimension. The pocket dimension was the Divine art he received when he obtained the system. It was an independent space that he have access to.

The space was was big and Ryan could feel everything inside. It was 5 cubic meters, Ryan realised that the space have grown after he cultivated. It was 3 cubic meters previously.

He was surprised and happy, but something was bothering him for a while now.

'System, how much system points did i get?' He already killed the rabbit for a while, and he didn't receive any kind of notification from the system. So he asked to clear his doubts when a bell rang inside his head.

[Ding!]

[You have killed a low-level first-stage beast: Horned rabbit! You have received 100 SP.]

Ryan thought that the number was low considering that the cheapest item was 300 system points on the shop. Then he realised that it was reasonable, since the shop offered the best items. He knew from the system that the lowest grade item in the shop has higher quality compared to the normal items from this world.

'So that means i have to hunt 9 more of these rabbits to unlock the skill tree.' He realized that he had a long way ahead, He decided to rest and eat and continue his hunt later on.

...

After a while, Ryan arrived on top of a giant tree. The tree was bigger compared to the other trees around, and what made it more special was the fact that it was hollow. Ryan found an opening inside the tree and decided to rest inside, he checked around and found no danger.

He stepped inside the opening, and Ryan found out that it was big enough for him to turn his body around, but not big enough to become a house.

'Well, it's a good place for a nap or in case i wanted to get some rest.' And that was the reason why he didn't hesitate to take over it. He laid on the ground exhausted, he have been running while being injured, he couldn't stop since he didn't know if some beast decided to sneak attack him somehow.

His mind was also exhausted, he went through a lot recently, and even though the battle with the rabbit was a short one, Ryan experienced a lot. Especially the change in his mentality, he was slowly beginning to adapt to this world

Ryan suddenly felt hungry, he took out the rabbit from the pocket dimension. The corpse of the rabbit laid in front of him, Ryan contemplated on how to eat it. He was in the middle of the jungle and he had no access to any fire or cooking tools so he felt troubled.

Nevertheless, he decided to cut the rabbit first then decide later. Instead of using his claws, Ryan decided to use his tail, he started to skin the rabbit with his tail while holding the rabbit with his claws.

His movements were clumsy, but Ryan didn't mind that, he took his time skinning the rabbit and cutting it's body. And after a while, the rabbit was divided into, meat, organs, bones, horn and fur.

Ryan looked at the unnecessary parts of the rabbit and thought about throwing them away, then he remembered that the system had a recycling function ao he decided to try it out.

'System, can you recycle everything except for the meat into points.' Ryan just finished speaking when a light shot from his forehead, the light covered the selected parts of the rabbit. Then they all suddenly disappeared when a notification rang inside his head.

[Recycling completed. You have received 50 SP.]

Ryan was dazed during the entire process, then he became happy. 'I won't have any problems when it comes to getting rid of trash in the future.' Ryan found that recycling function was useful.

And more importantly, the fact that he received 50 system points made him happier.

'I guess i will unlock the skill tree sooner than i expected!' His gaze brightned, he decided to recycle the whole corpse next time and see how much system points he would get.

Ryan mood soon returned to normal when he realized that he still had a problem on hand.

'How am i going to cook this thing.' He looked at the rabbit's meat infront of him with a complicated expression. He was at loss at this moment, he didn't have access to fire neither did he know how to start one.
