Chapter 4 - Points and Hunting

"So what do I do with these points" I ask after a moment

"you use the points to get stronger and to buy things in the shop, also you can exchange them for tickets to use them to summon things from your old world" Felicity responded

"so in other words it is like a game from my old world" I say as I view my panel.

"so that wolf was worth one hundred points" I remark as I see that the only change is my points

I start to follow the river downstream, knowing that there has to be signs of civilisation near the river, I barely walk far when I hear movement in the nearby bushes.

That is when a group of five wolves appeared three of which are much taller, clearly they are the leaders of this little hunting party sadly for them they have stumbled upon me and now that I know that they are essentially free points I'm not going to hold back.

in just a few seconds I had managed to kill the two younger ones but the three larger wolves have been a bit of a pain, every time I get close they move back and every time I move back they get close I thought I could use this to my advantage but they seem to know when I fake a retreat.

"screw it, felicity got any suggestions to deal with these damn mutts?" I ask getting seriously pissed off

"you can check the store, I think you can get a skill book on basic magic for one thousand points" Felicity says clearly enjoying the show

"that would be good but I only have three hundred points right now" I say getting even more annoyed

That is when one the wolves lunge at me and latches onto the arm holding the sword, out of habit from the old world I try using my enhancement ability which surprisingly activates.

"wait so I still have my power from the old world?" I ask in surprise

"yeah we never said you couldn't use it" Felicity says, I could just picture her and probably the others laughing at me

now that I know that I'm not as worried, I quickly enhance my arm to not receive too much damage and punch the stupid mutt in its face and kick it aside as I then reach for my sword again, this time the wolves seem to hesitate then turn and run in the opposite direction.

"and now they are gone" Felicity chuckles

I roll up my sleeve to see the damage the damn wolf did just to see that its healing at a decently fast speed, I proceeded to collect the cores from the two dead wolves.

after a moment of thought I decide to go look for more creatures, the last thing I want to do is get caught of guard again.

After a few hours of looking around I found only about twenty rabbit creatures each the size of a large cat sadly they only gave ten points each, I really need to find something that will give more points but first I should see what I can get in the shop to speed this up.

-SHOP-

Skill:

Search-active-five hundred points

in a five meter radius centred around the user, the user can detect what is visible and invisible only if the creature is weaker then the user

Sense-passive-two hundred points

in a square meter area that is determined by the users perception stat, can sense movement and general danger level to user

Hunters instinct-passive-one hundred points

can see trails not really useful unless you like to play pretend as a village hunter

"the useful skills that will help me right now is the sense skill and hunters instinct" I say to felicity as I sit resting against a tree and browsing the shop

"why not just get both skills you might be surprised" Felicity says as if hinting at something

"you just want me to spend all my points" I say, but I still do as she suggested

-Sense skill purchased-

-Hunters instinct purchased-

-three hundred points deducted-

-Mergeable abilities detected-

-Merging abilities-

-New skill Acquired-

-Hunters sense-passive: gains basic understanding of creatures habits and knowledge of there habitats, in a square meter area that is determined by the users perception stat, can sense movement and trails of creatures

"that is a lot better of a skill, now the hunt can truly begin" I say as I check out the new skill and crack my shoulders

With the new skill in use I started to hunt for creatures, from rabbits to wolves even a few boars got included, after a entire day of hunting and the sun started to set I decided to look for a place to set up camp and try to get some proper rest.

Since arriving into this world I have been either getting attacked or hunting for creatures to get points, after walking for a moment I find a cave...I've clearly left the area around the river since I didn't see any mountains or hills.

"This doesn't look very safe" Felicity says clearly becoming nervous

"well I don't sense anything so it should be safe but to be on the safe side I'll do a quick sweep inside so I don't get caught off guard while resting" I say as I ready my sword and prepare to enter

Just then before I can react I get slammed into the ground by something big and something fast, so fast it didn't register on my skill as I look up I see something very familiar something I wasn't expecting to see here.

Standing before me was a titan class beast know in my old world as a shadow bear, it is know to be very fast and extremely dangerous it is the same creature that wiped out my old unit, strangely it even has a scar on its face in the same location as the one I faced before.

"is this beast the same as the one from my old world" I ask felicity wishing it was just a twisted coincident and not the same monster that caused the death of my unit

"it is most likely the same beast since your old world and this world are connected via rifts so you will most likely face some of the same beasts that you have fought before" Felicity says

since it is the same beast I know I am no match for it, during the conversation I have barely been keeping away from the beast thanks to the uneven terrain and all the trees.

"you should be able to use your points to upgrade your stats" Felicity says at the perfect time

"how much will it cost?" I ask as I just barely move out of the way of another attack

"it's about one point to raise a stat that is under one hundred and then ten points for every stat increase up to five hundred" Felicity says as if she is reading from a manual

I quickly check my panel

I feel a surge of energy coursing thru my body as my body adapts to the increase in stats, I can feel every cell in my body burn then expand just to shrink again and every muscle stretch then harden, my heart began pumping blood at a faster rate as it tries to compensate for the new strength, my bones break and reform to become more harder and denser my senses become more sharper I can now barely keep track of the bears movements.

all of this felt like it took hours but in fact it was only a second or two, I clench my fist to feel my new strength, just then the bear swipes its massive paw at me it was still fast but now I can see it and that meant I can dodge it easier.

I jump back a good distance and stare at the beast it clearly looks confused on my new speed but it doesn't back down, it lunges at me again this time I was prepared and as it got closer I sidestepped and slashed out with my sword leaving a deep gash in its side, as the blood starts to flow out I know I'm strong enough now.

"this time I will kill you and let my unit rest in peace knowing you are dead" I said
