Poison wolf

When Sara finally regained consciousness, she escorted Dorian out of her office. She had planned to take Dorian out to breakfast, but Dorian instead expressed interest in practising his magic in the woods.

He desired to learn additional spells of magic, but most of the spells required a larger mana capacity except for the conjuration of fire. Therefore, he needed to advance in levels and accumulate a significant amount of mana before he could learn them. So he picked up the hand sickle and went straight toward the forest.

Dorian walked through the forest and searched for the monsters. He was particularly obsessed with catching a particular rabbit and ripping its ears out, and after walking a few kilometres into the woods, he saw a big red bear. It was almost four meters in size, and it was walking on two legs. And due to its size, it left giant footprints every time it made a step. Dorian hid behind the tree and thought about avoiding it. But he still asked the system if he should engage the creature.

"Is this thing powerful? Can I kill it? "

[This creature is the mutated bear. It usually resides within volcanos, where it absorbs tons of flame mana. The fact that the beast is here is quite terrifying. Its skin is so tough that it is nearly impenetrable by regular weapons. Only blades infused with water or ice mana could do the damage.]

"So it is impossible for me to kill it? "

[Yes, engaging the creature is suicide at the current level and skill.]

Dorian sighs and decides to walk away. He strolls through the forest and notices an ugly eyeless creature resembling a dog and a lizard hybrid, feasting on the flesh of a human. Dorian stared at that creature with interest.

"Hey, if I ate that creature. Would that make me a cannibal? "

[Huh? What are you talking about?]

"If I killed it and ate him while he still has a human in his stomach. "

The system wanted to electrocute him once more. However, since they were in pretty dangerous territory, it decided not to lower Dorian's survival chances by reducing his health and stamina. Instead, she chose to ignore his question and stayed quiet.

"You know, you lack a sense of humour. It was supposed to be a pretty good joke!~ Nevermind, status, please!~. "

"Five more levels to go. Alright. Let's kill that eyeless thing!~ "

[Be careful, this is Poisonous Dire wolf. Its poison is lower than the poison of White Rabbit. However, the wolf can produce it with its spit so it can attack from long distances. His physical attack and defence are low, but it's pretty fast.]

"How much would reward points it will require to heal me? "

[It will depend on how long you stay poisoned. And the more attacks you will receive, the faster the poison will spread. So be careful.]

"Alright, then let's make this quick. "

Dorian decided not to use fire magic on the creature because he preferred to assassinate it before he got poisoned. He tried walking as quiet as possible, but suddenly the creature stopped eating, turned around and spat at Dorian. The spit hit Dorian's shirt, and it was a spit merged with the flesh and poison. Dorian quickly removed the shirt and cursed under his nose.

"Shit! "

[I forgot to mention the obvious. Since the creature is blind, the monster's other senses are enhanced. YOU FUCKING IDIOT!]

"Oh, shut up! "

The monster released his poison once more, but Dorian quickly dodged aside this time. Dorian grabbed his sickle and rushed towards the wolf, but instead of escaping, the wolf jumped towards Dorian and bit the arm holding his sickle. Dorian dropped the sickle, and the wolf continued biting Dorian's hand.

"Shit, shit, shit! "

*There is low-level poison in the host's body. The cost of removal is three reward points.*

"Not yet! "

Dorian decided not to remove the poison just yet because the dangerous beast was still biting his hand. Instead, Dorian began to gather mana within his palms and chanted the fire protection spell.

His mana dropped by half, so he decided to use the mana from his surroundings. He frowned because the pain started to worsen, and the wound seemed infected. It was not bleeding, as the teeth could barely scratch Dorian's skin. However, that minor scratch was more than enough for the wolf to inject its venom into Dorian's body constantly.

Dorian's body started quickly absorbing the mana from the air. His mana was fully almost instantly because Dorian's mana capacity was low for now. Dorian focused his mana on the hand bitten by the wolf and shouted.

"Go to hell, you overgrown rat! "

𝕴𝖌𝖓𝖎𝖙𝖊!

Because he used almost all of his mana for this spell, the flame burned like a flame thrower. The creature's mouth instantly turned to a crisp, and the rest of its body collapsed. Dorian looked at the creature's corpse with eyes full of hate and spat on it.

"Here, you peace of shit, I owe you for my shirt! "

Then Dorian heard the five notification pings that he was waiting for. It was another level up notification, instantly enhancing Dorian's mood.

*It appears that you have accumulated 650 experience points.*

*It appears that you have accumulated 650 experience points.*

*It appears that you have accumulated 650 experience points.*

*It appears that you have accumulated 650 experience points.*

*Congratulations on levelling up!*

Dorian sat down because he felt dizzy. He was about to ask the system to remove poison; however, he heard another notification. It was not a levelling up or notification about the poison, to his surprise.

*You unlocked a new active skill – Clairvoyance lv1*

[Oh goodie, you wanted an active skill. Here you go, idiot!]
