Chapter 14: 2 birds with 1 stone

I think I just need to take one down and then it'll get easier, but the question is how am I going to do that. I just remembered something, I wanted to save this for after I beat the dungeon... But now is probably the best time to use it. I bolted away from the two skeletons, and as they were chasing me I hid behind a pillar, I sure was lucky that there was one there. I opened up my system and went to check on how many ability points I had available. Shit I only have 11 ability points available, this might not be enough to beat them up...

In case you're wondering how strong they are, they are level 25. That may seem little to you but trust me the monsters at level 25 are the same as a player at the level of 50. Okay enough with this I need to act quick before they find me...

Pow: 38 +(5) Def: 26 +(5)

Mana: 25 +(0) Agi: 20 +(1)

I increased my defense and power because those were the two I needed the most right now. A new system notification popped yet again, and my heart started beating quick. I prayed with all my might that it wouldn't be something bad and... "Since the user is in immense danger you now gain double the stats." I looked at the system tearing up and overjoyed.I thank the people who made this system, today I was saved by you guys.

It was time to change roles, the hunted would now become the hunter. I closed out my system tabs and listened in on any abnormal footsteps. I heard it, it was coming from behind. I dashed out and looked to see where they were, I saw that they had there backs turned to me. Oh man did that make me laugh, never turn your back on your enemy. I dashed in making sure I didn't make enough noise for them to hear me, and I slowly climbed on top of the one that I had hit before. The other one was still looking in the opposite direction from me, so I bashed my axe on the other eye and yelled, "Wasup fucker you miss me?"

I got a notification saying I slayed a skeleton ogre, and levelled up 5 times. The skeleton started to collapse and as it almost touched the ground I hopped off and used the smoke. The smoke from the rubble was fairly thick, and since I knew where the other one was I used that to my advantage. As I thought it was totally confused now looking around for the target. I slashed at one of it's legs and it snapped in half, man did that power up give me a huge boost. It fell on one knee and then I used the slope of the back to run on top; I jumped off twisting my body 360 degrees while swinging my axe.

I levelled up 5 times after this as well and also gained two new titles. The first one was "Who says level matters?" This title gave me the effect of double stats temporarily against an opponent two times stronger than me. This title alone was a reward I would take for beating these two, but I got another one as well. The other one was "Finish him," I admit this one kind of made me laugh as it was a reference to a game I used to play. Basically this title gave me a small chance to one shot an incapacitated enemy.

Also, for reaching level 60 I was awarded by the system with a new skill. The skill was called "Heightened Senses" not only could I see the stats of others, but also see their skills. Also this skill was upgradable meaning that it could get stronger or better. I checked on the egg to see what the timer was on and to my surprise it was about to hatch. It said that there was only a minute left, so I waited until...

The egg immediately popped out of my inventory and started cracking, I didn't know what to expect so I started praying to the goddess of fortune. I slowly opened my eyes to see a lion in front of me, tilted my head to the side and wondered what rarity it was. It slowly opened it's eyes and started looking around as if it was lost. I went in to try and pet it and it said, "Hey watch it, do you not know who I am foolish mortal?" I quickly moved my hand away and started moving back.

"Did you just speak?" I said and he replied with, "Yeah are you deaf or something?" I don't remember seeing an update about pets being able to talk... "So- who or what are you anyway, clearly you aren't a lion." "What the fuck you mean I'm not a lion, of course I am! I am what you might call a constellation, you know the Leo..." The room went silent after he said that I couldn't believe that a constellation had become my pet. "So.... Leo you do know why you're here right?" Leo looked at me confused, so I sighed and said, "you are now my pet and we now share a bond."

You should've seen it Leo opened his mouth wide and fainted. The system finally sent out a new message saying, "User has made a contract with a constellation." I quickly realized that I should probably get going so I woke Leo up and asked him if he could stay here while I logged out. He looked at me puzzled and the system sent out a new notice saying that when a player logs out their pet does too. In other words they go back to wherever they were beforehand, most pets hatched by the egg don't have a home. But since Leo obviously has his own he returns to it, the lower rank pets would just disappear. I quickly said my farewells and as I was logging out I said, "Talk to you later Leo Sama" and laughed.
