Chapter Two: Confused.

Abell never liked to hurt people or animals, he knows what it's like to be hurt and he doesn't wish it on anyone, but the situation didn't give him options, the boy should fight to live and even being a hypocrite for trying to silence the two miner monkeys he still want to live, like everyone else. His view of the world changed a lot having spent some time in that place, maybe the influence of becoming a [Magic Bat] changed him a little, Miller became more determined and his desire to live had become very strong. Anyway, having made up his mind the boy just advanced towards his opponent, he had no experience in relation to fighting, but knowing his abilities he naturally felt a little confident. The dimly lit hallway and the sound of the Miner Monkeys pickaxes hitting the rocks made it even better for him, his [Enhanced Echolocation] serving as a sensor in the dark, covering an area of ​​about 30 meters with the center itself. Abell, unlike the common bat's Echolocation is always kept in an active state, enhanced by the [Less Lower Magic Core] it had become something like a second pair of eyes that never get tired. Abell was about 10 meters away from his target, the [Miner Monkey] to the right of the hallway, he still hadn't noticed the boy's existence. In a fast forward he basically throws himself at [Miner Monkey] who is surprised by a being grabbing him from behind, using so much of his ability [Claws (Rank D)] and [Bite (Rank E)] he basically rips the monster apart, its teeth fall apart, they dig into the monkey's neck and their claws pierce its pectoral. The little one [Miner Monkey] couldn't do much to defend himself, because he was focused on mining and immersed in the feeling of doing an amazing job, he got careless and didn't keep his attention. The [Miner Monkey] struggled and screamed, alerting his companion who noticed Abell's presence from that moment on. Releasing the miserable ape he focused his attention on the other ape, their eyes met in that narrow space with dim light, the ape was looking at him with a fierce glare, holding his pickaxe firmly in both hands. Numb with the sensation of killing Abell, he only advances towards the monkey, his thick and long ones claws collide with the monkey's pickaxe and they start a fervent fight, exchanging rough and clumsy blows against each other, but the monkey got tired and eventually succumbed to Miller. Fallen and tired, the boy just watched the two mutilated bodies in silence until tears began to run down his face. His thoughts started to get jumbled and then he started sobbing and screaming.

– Why do I have to kill them? Why did I do this? Just... Why? – His screams resound in that place that once again became silent, although it seemed very decided he really wasn't like that inside, he naturally didn't want to fight those monkeys, but he knew he was going to be attacked by them anyway. By fighting them the boy realized that eventually he would have to kill even more beings like these. His bestial instincts were also influencing him, the desire to continue killing made him even more furious with himself, the boy knew this was not his nature, drowning in the pleasure of killing made him sick with himself, he swore to himself even though he would keep in control next time. Calming for a moment, he noticed the system warnings stretching across his vision.

[Congratulations! You got 200 XP from killing Miner Monkey Level 5!]

[Congratulations! You got 180 XP from killing Miner Monkey Level 4!]

[Congratulations! You have risen from level 4>6!]

[You received 6 attribute points!]

Abell was naturally surprised to level up like that and decided to simply spend his attribute points, he didn't have much patience and in his view it wasn't worth saving his points like that. Well, in the end their stats were like this:

|Stats of Abell Miller.|

> Race: Magic Bat.

> Level: 6/15.

> EXP: 170/320

> Attributes: STR – 5; AGI – 5; INT – 5; MAG – 7; STA – 5

> Skills: [Bite (Rank E)]; [Flight (Rank C)]; [Claws (Rank D)], [Essence Sucker] and [Lunys Tongue (Rank C)].

> Peculiarities: [Small Lower Magic Core] and [Enhanced Echolocation].

> Current World: Io – Lower floor.

The boy was satisfied with this allocation of points, he would like to balance himself in the beginning, in the long run he thinks it can benefit him a lot. Anyway, he also noticed the effectiveness of his skills and was very happy with the results, he is probably stronger than the average monsters that lived in this nest considering those two monkeys. The boy decided to check his skills and quirks, how strong is he really compared to other monsters?

[Bite (Rank E)]: This skill makes its wearer's bite strong enough to destroy human flesh easily, even facing a monster of Rank E it still does its job very well, even with a little difficulty.

[Claws (Rank D)]: This skill makes its owner's claws equivalent to an iron sword in both toughness and the ability to cut things.

[Essence Supper]: This skill is unique to Abell Miller, he is the only one that has it among the infinite worlds present inside the Tower. This ability gives its user the ability to suck essence from other living beings and thereby obtain a single random ability from the being in which he consumed the essence. In addition to the ability to receive a random ability he also gets to know the stats of the being he took the essence from. This skill can only be activated when you kill the being you want to consume the essence.

Note: The essence is the blood. :C

[Lunys Tongue (Rank C)]: This skill demonstrates its user's proficiency in the Lunys Tongue. Rank C demonstrates an average domain about being able to converse easily with other beings who also understand this language.

[Flight (Rank C)]: This skill gives its user a reasonable flying ability, allowing him to fly at about 60 km/h. The skill is also influenced by its owner's body or other skills.

[Small Lower Magic Core]: A small magic core that stores a very small amount of mana. Without a magic circuit it is basically useless, serving only to improve certain quirks.

[Improved Echolocation]: A mutation, an unexpected result of mana contact with Echolocation. With its user as its center, it is active almost all the time, only stopping when its owner sleeps. Its range is 30 meters and serves as an omnidirectional sensor, making its user a very difficult target to attack.

Their skills and quirks should be strong, but they're still at a very immature stage, actually these thoughts aren't wrong. Currently he is a level 6 monster that hasn't evolved once and can't even be considered a rank E monster, his stats besides being very high he has many skills he shouldn't have, but of course he doesn't know that. Putting these monologues aside he finally realizes something, his hunger and his unique skills that could be used now! He had to eat these monkeys... Even though he lived a very horrible life, in his past life his mother at least gave him acceptable foods. Deciding he just approached one of the bodies and used his claw to cut one of the monkey's thighs, leaving aside his disgust he just bit the thigh cautiously and the taste was terrible, but his hunger spoke louder, swallowing his cry he just ate silently as he watched the only happy thing there.

[Congratulations! You have received 100 Bioenergy! You can use this to evolve some skills and gain more quirks or evolve your quirks!]

[Congratulations! You now have knowledge of the status of the Miner Monkey Level 5!]

[Congratulations! You have gained the skill [Ore Eater (Rank E)] and can now use it with complete efficiency!]

Despite being unhappy because of eating raw meat and the simple fact that it is a monkey those words of the system made him happy and so he analyzed his new skill and the status of the primate.

Stats of Miner Monkey(No name).

> Race: Miner Monkey Rank (Rank E).

> Level: 5/15.

> EXP: 45/160.

> Attributes: FOR – 5; AGI – 5; INT - 1; MAG – 1; STA - 4

> Skills: [Ore Eater (Rank E)].

> Peculiarities: [Skillful Hands].

[Ore Eater (Rank E)]: With this skill ores such as iron and bronze can be eaten and absorbed by the user's body.

This skill can be useful when Abell runs out of food, but overall it is very bad for him, honestly he would not want to continue living on monkey meat and ores, he would much prefer grilled meat or ice cream. Anyway Miller just continues to eat the monkey until there are only bones left of him and so he leaves for the other, finally full he goes back to the cave where he woke up and snuggles there, lying on the ground. Eating those monkeys earned him a new skill and 500 bioenergy points, it seems that to become strong in this world he had to kill and eat others... Can he still live without hurting others? Of course not, despite not liking it he would eventually have to kill to live, at least for now.

- So it's decided, I can't live thinking about these things anymore, to live I must kill and so be it... - As if he were whispering to himself and convincing himself that this is right he just loses consciousness and falls asleep... Tomorrow will be a long day, he would settle everything after a long, soft, calming sleep.
