Chapter 2.

The World of Ufona

While the Rain is still falling suspicious sounds been lurking in the distance outside of the cave which did not even awaken Ark , he was still sound asleep while the sound just gets louder and louder coming in slowly like trying to bring a fish onto your bout from in th water fighting so hard to get ur pray but in a situation like this the stakes tends to be different when the hunter is looking for its meal to sabotage while coming closer and closer a sound from the [Menu] awoken him from his deep sleep the sound from the interface saying.

[Warning, Warning Monster Alert]!

"Wha awa what was that?" the look of confusion on arks face looking around only to see the floating menu,The menu was so bright i started to rub my eyes from the light that emited from the menu saying explainig a warning message saying that there was a monster is approaching you after looking around for sometime I still see nothing but I heard something slithering around in the grass nearby i wonder if thats new monster making these noices that i am hearing even tho the rain supposed to be the only thing i should be hearing since its so loud,Then suddenly a sound and new menu popped up infront of me again but this one seems new like the others saying this

[Skilled Unlocked] Bonus Skill [Sense] which enhances the users awareness either sight or hearing to find out if monster or entities are nearby the user which can be dangerous to the player.

"Oh New Skill Unlocked?"

"I just wonder if it gonna help me to locate the monster"

"I wonder what kind of monster is near me?"

Do I even have a weapon to fight?

I should have some skill i can use if I remember correctly i am a mage that uses magic and also have the stats for it , I also have questions of the [irregular] I mean by its name it's something that's not normal i guess but does it have special perks or something thats should be [irregular] but i guess I'll find out sooner or later down the lines

All this info can drive someone crazy but sum stuff not helping me right now even after getting this level of info from that furball Rodwell "i just have to wonder tho what are my goals right now the thing i should be aiming for ".

"Snip" "Ahhh" "shit what the hell was that" something bite me on my leg "I look down to investigate the matter after looking down and saw a [level 4] Venom Snake [Cobra], After getting bitten my health points began to drop without anytime to spare the only thing that ran through my mind was to get the snake off my leg and heal the wound am about to have , I started shaking my leg in any direction fast as possible to get it off *shake , shake , shake ,shake* after countless shaking which was only 60 shakes in total i finally got it off *poof* shaking it off throwing it outside the cave on its back, that was not good i could of died back there in that moment a painfull shock rocks my leg which made me fell on my knees on the ground,"ahh" that hurt i wont lie about that how my health looking stats menu, then the menu appeared saying my health took a big loss running down from 100 to about 40% of health, geez even with 100 level health a level 4 snake can do that much damage i need to heal up but first i have an unwanted guess to attened to which cause me pain in the first place lets see what skill should i choose to defeat my pray "hmmmm…" lets choose fireball since it only cost 5 mana points and the casting time is also fast compare to the other skills i have since fireball is way more effective with the state am in right now since it can be used in short ranges according to the skill description I then shouted "(Skill: Fireball)" and raised my hands into the direction of the snake then suddenly sparks of light and heat emitted from the center of my hand and a flow if some strange wind came from my body I guess that this is what they call mana a strange force which give skills and power to inflict them into the world, "BOOM" my attack hit on impact the attack was so fast i could not even see it happen *cough Cough smoke was everywhere but atleast i killed the snake I looks at the remains but i only see a corpse roasted snake

After watching the snake got burned alive i suddenly had the sense of hunger so i took up the burnt snake which already died and cover my nose thinking am to hungry to think about how this about to taste i hope i wont regret it so i bite the bullet and started eating th snake supprising the snake was crispy brown tender meat of the snake with juices running out of the meat steaming flowing out the meat that could drive some one to madness of th scent it had so delecat crushing into ones mouth splashes of flavor unto the tongue poping like up and done sending the soul to another time frame "so refreshing" "hmmm…" for my first time eating snake its was quite breath taking i would do anything to have some more but while enjoying eating the sense of pain also rushes through my leg while my health goes down from rapidly from 40% to 10%. Shit i forgot all this poem bout food and i have poison to deal with so I sat down on the ground to tend to it so I raised my leg to my head to try to suck out the poison out of my leg as fast as possible i sucked then spit , sucked then spit doing it over and over till my health stop going down from 10% to about 4% "Wooo" i got lucky this time" , any more seconds longer and i would be the second kill after coming to this world I took the cloth i used to cover my eyes , sum water from the rain that is currently falling and splash some of the water on the wound then cover it with cloth to stop the bleeding tightly but gently so it can heal and give me some health points back. Good thing i had this cloth it come in handy for a time like this, I need to get better before stuff like this happen again
