Exploring (2)
"Aren't you a bit rude?"
[I spoke the truth. You did not even bother memorising or paying attention to what I said earlier. Asking questions which I have already given answer to.]
"Ok ok fine. I'll pay more attention now and think before speaking. Happy?"
[+1 intelligence]
"Huh? Just like that?"
[So about the comparison. Here's the comparison
1-20 (Normal human beings)
20-50 (In this stage you get enough power to destroy wall or a house)
50-100 (small building level to a city block)
100-200 (multiple building to a town level)
200-500 ( town level to big city level)
500-1000 (multiple city level to small country level)
1000-2000 (country level to multiple country level)
2000-5000 (continent level.)
5000-10,000 (Multiple continent level)
That is the detail you get as of now.]
"Well it's enough for now. And according to this, I'm close to having enough power to destroy a city block...." Ayoshi's lips curved up into smirk before she shook her head.
'No no, system said it. I'm on the bottom and basic. I can't consider myself strong.'
[+4 intelligence]
'I'm getting intelligent...wow, i just need 3 more to reach 40.'
Ayoshi looks back at the skills she needs to test. 'I can't use any other skill now...,well hey how do I get more skills?'
[As you grow up and your race level increases, you naturally get more skills. The other method is triggering or performing actions that result in acquiring a new skill. Like you created a wooden log and acquired 'dark magic Construct']
"So it's just like in games? This feels more and more like a novel..."
[+1 intelligence]
"I should explore this area and reach that village..."
[Head to the north and around 6 km you'll find the village.]
'6 km? Well, I think it would be easy peasy for me to cover that distance since I'm so strong and my stamina is through the roof.'
Ayoshi takes a final glance around her before moving into the north direction. How she knew which is north? System
[I wonder if you'll even survive if it wasn't for me.]
"Tee hee" Ayoshi just giggled in response. Not minding the underlying insult rather actually feeling grateful that she atleast got something useful.
Ayoshi continues to move into the north direction, not running but walking because well she is finally able to see so of course she wants to enjoy the beautiful sceneries.
But on her way, she hears a low growl. "No way...r-right?" She slowly turns around to the direction where the growl came from.
An 3 metre tall giant wolf, his fur snow white, his eyes- A deep blue shining with malice and hunger, drool dripping from his teeth before he lounged at her.
Ayoshi barely got the time to react but thanks to the warning of system, she was successful in dodging the attack. "Motherfuc-"
She quickly extended her wings and horns before standing firmly on the ground. 'I don't know how to fight physically for god's sake. What else? Dark magic...'
She points her finger at the wolf and gathers mana in there before shooting few lazer beams and to her bad luck, the lazer beams were slow and the wolf dodged.
[-7 mana]
She uses her wings and tries to fly, escape from this sudden attack but no. She hadn't used them at all and now she doesn't know how to use them.
Even though they feel like another limb of her's but she just couldn't fly. Maybe out of fear or maybe out of the absurdity of situation. Either way, she failed to fly.
'What should I do??? I can't fly, my attacks aren't fast enough to harm him, I have no fighting techniques....ah-ha'
"Heyoo bastard." She taunts the wolf who for a moment stops growling and just stares at her. She has created a chunk of meat and waves it into the air. "Want it?"
Using her full power, she throws it in the air. The wolf's gaze following the piece of meat and Ayoshi, she points her finger at him and shoots her lasers again. Catching him off guard and resulting in his end.
'I don't know if they are strong enough to kill this thing but I hope...it fucking dies'
[These attacks have dark magic in them, your prowess is above your foe's so it'll definitely kill him.]
'I hope you are telling the truth because if not, then my journey might as well just end here.'
And to her surprise or not, the laser penetrated through the wolf's head. His eyes going white for a second as his pupils disappeared before he collapsed on the ground. His life slowly escaping away from his body, the warmth of his flesh fading away.
[+500 exp]
"M-my first kill...." Mumbled Ayoshi before she collapsed on her knees. It didn't feel exactly good to kill him but she needed to do so, needed to do so to survive. Survival is what every species wants and she too wants that.
That wolf also wanted that, fill his empty stomach so it would ensure his survival.
"I don't feel as bad as i expected. Maybe because it's not human?"
[No. Your demonic instincts are suppressing any disgust you might be feeling now.]
"Oh...." Ayoshi sat there on the ground silently, her wings and horns retracting back in her body. "Well i should keep going."
[I recommend storing this corpse. When you go to human village, you can just sell it and it might fetch you a good price.]
"But won't bringing such a huge wolf in a small village cause suspicion? And it would be brought by an complete stranger"
[+2 intelligence]
"Would they even have any shops to exchange it's material since it's a small village?"
[+2 intelligence]
"And can't i just create money with my magic?"
[+5 intelligence]
[Good job for actually thinking logically. I was testing you to see if you would get excited and ignore the consequences]
"Yeahhhhhhh.....I believe you."
[That's good.]
"But what else am I supposed to do with this corpse now? Just let it stay like this and rot away?"
She questioned to herself before her gaze landed on her waist. 'Oh right, my clothes tore off when I opened my wings....wings, fucking useless but i guess I need to practice flying. I can't blame them.'
[+3 intelligence]
She created more clothes and changes into them. This time, wearing something elegant because the Village was near and if she wore some stuff like tank top and ripped jeans and appeared there, yeah she'll be even more suspicious. Atleast now she seems like a Nobel lady who lost her way.
[+1 intelligence]
[Congratulations! Your intelligence has reached 50. Increasing mana....14....89....For every one intelligence, you get 2 mana points. And when you reach a new stage like you just reached in intelligence, you get points depending which stage you are on...so you are currently on the 3rd stage which means]
[+30 mana from stage promotion]
[+28 from increase in intelligence]
[Mana - 142/147]
[Your mana recovery rate has increased. Your mana will fully replenish in 5 hours even if it's drained completely]
"That seems convenient...so my intelligence increases mana. Well, that's good, now I have two ways to increase my mana. And my race....100,000 exp?! My good lord, seems like defeating strong enemies is the only way..."
Ayoshi once again suppresses her shock and looks at the wolf's corpse before pondering. 'hmm....'
(Third pov)
In the village near the forest, two people are exploring the forest in hopes for getting something good to hunt and sell it.
One of them, a woman of average build and messy burgundy hair, pink eyes and a staff in her hand speaks up. Annoyance clear as day in her tone. "The sun is already about to set in few hours and we haven't gotten a single goddamn thing!!"
"Calm down Ava, yelling or whining like this won't do us any good except for wasting our energy." A more quiet and professional like voice came from the person beside Ava.
"I know i know, Page." Ava huffed and looked away, clearly even more annoyed that now she has to be lectured by her goddamn friend.
Page is also a woman with her height reaching 6'0 ft, muscles and scars on her whole body. Bright black hair and deep black eyes, even though her body was muscular, it didn't hide her feminine beauty rather enhancing it even further.
If someone were to guess who is more calmer one in between them, then by appearance they would guess Ava but in reality it was quite opposite.
But they both stopped in their tracks and snapped their head in a direction, it was like something fell on ground. Something heavy, running towards the direction of the that fall.
Ava was the first one to speak. "Is that a fucking great wolf?!!" She yelled in shock. Her eyes as wide as sausages, her mouth wide open in what could be only guessed as shock.
Page, on her calmer and more experienced side, looks around to find someone. Great wolf don't die by themselves.
Her gaze landed on Ayoshi who was staring back at them with an tilt of her head. 'Isn't defeating him just basic?' was the only question in the succubus's mind.
