Accidents always come unexpectedly.
As if they want to give you a surprise,
making you unable to stop yourself from screaming.
Nearly three meters tall, a beast taller than an adult human.
Si clenched her fists nervously, her palms drenched in cold sweat.
It had to be said,
this surprise was far too terrifying for her.
She threw a skill at it.
The terrifying status window made her feel a surge of suffocation.

Terrifying attributes.
So many skills.
Are you sure this isn't some kind of boss?
Si didn't expect danger to arrive so quickly.
Currently, her level was still one.
And worst of all, after her HP increased, it was only a mere 30 points.
This tiger only needed one hit to one-shot her.
Bad, very bad; she seemed to be in a dead end.
The tall and large White-Eyed Tiger stared at the girl.
"...Is this a Monster?"
She didn't know.
She couldn't be sure.
But such a creature had clearly exceeded the level of a normal animal.
However, 'Monster' could also refer to creatures that can use magic.
She wasn't clear on what the criteria for judging a Monster were in this world.
"None of that matters anymore."
"I... might very well die by its hands."
Cold sweat dripped down.
Si looked at the White-Eyed Tiger's attributes,
feeling somewhat despairing.
Because this guy not only had a speed as high as 500 points,
but also possessed the skills Tree Climbing and Swimming.
Unless she could fly, there was definitely no way to escape from this guy; with that terrifying speed, it might take her life in just the time it takes to turn around.
The human and the tiger gazed at each other.
As the overlord of this territory,
the White-Eyed Tiger didn't need to worry about food.
The reason it didn't attack
was because it was currently full.
Because its SP was full, it was easy to tell.
But since it had already come to her door, Si didn't think it would let her go.
The skill
Fighting was impossible.
The strength was too disparate; the gap was too large.
This simply wasn't an opponent she could touch.
But even if she wanted to negotiate, it was impossible.
The races were different.
The languages were different.
Effective communication was impossible.
No matter how she looked at the current situation, she was at a dead end.
"No, it's not time to give up yet!"
She quickly opened the skill list.
Since the other party hadn't attacked yet,
then this was her last chance!
Heaven hadn't completely abandoned her, this unloved little girl!
"Found it!"
"If this doesn't work, then I'll just wait for death."
Skill
The White-Eyed Tiger noticed that the little fellow's aura had changed.
It watched the little fellow with great interest.
Originally, it had only come to say hello after discovering a new resident in its territory, but it hadn't expected this new resident to be a human child—and a little fellow with such a pleasant scent at that.
Si opened her palm.
A cool magic circle appeared out of thin air.
Seeing this, the White-Eyed Tiger crouched down slightly
.
It had originally thought this little fellow posed no threat to it.
But now, it seemed it had underestimated this human child.
It hadn't expected her to actually master magic.
Although the White-Eyed Tiger's attributes were powerful,
it had a very obvious flaw.
That was its lack of proficiency in magic.
Its race was born without any talent for learning magic.
Not only was the White-Eyed Tiger poor at magic, but even its resistance was below average.
Even when facing a human child's magic attack,
the White-Eyed Tiger took a corresponding defensive stance.
Si stared tensely at the monster before her.
Then, once the mana bar finished charging, she decisively cast the spell in her hand.
<# Light Magic: Flash>
With a boom,
it was as if the sun had fallen.
The dazzling light caused the White-Eyed Tiger to close its eyes in fear.
The White-Eyed Tiger huddled on the ground, trembling like a cat.
Its weakness was indeed magic attacks.
For a moment, it thought it had run into someone it couldn't afford to provoke.
Because the aura erupting from that magic was extremely powerful.
Si looked at the White-Eyed Tiger that had been hit.
Without a second word, she turned and bolted.
If she didn't run now, when would she?!
Was she supposed to stay and be its food?!
<# Flash Lv.1:
Attacks the opponent with intense light, with a certain probability of causing blindness.
Damage: 10
Cost: 20 MP>
Si had already memorized her magic skill tree over the past few days.
Within the Light Magic category, she could choose from three branches.
1. Flash
2. Heal
3. Light Arrow
She vaguely suspected
that the magic skill tree might be different for everyone.
Moreover, once a magic branch was determined at the start, there seemed to be no way to re-select previous branches. However, based on the experience she had gained from games and novels, there was a high probability that these skills would evolve into stronger ones later on.
And her current choice was very likely selecting the upgrade path for her skills.
Just like the support, DPS, and healer roles in games.
Of course,
the various roles offered by different magic elements were not exactly the same.
For example, her Fire Magic from before didn't have a healer role.
The role of Flash was very clear.
It was crowd control and support.
That 10 damage couldn't even kill a weakling like Si.
Compared to the 150 damage of Fireball, it was worlds apart.
But judging by the White-Eyed Tiger's reaction,
this skill—
its effect was very strong!
Si's speed wasn't fast.
Before she could run very far,
the White-Eyed Tiger had already recovered from the magic's effect.
Si's heart raced as she looked back and saw this.
"No, the duration was too short, I can't get away!"
She didn't dare look back again.
Even though she knew she couldn't escape, she couldn't worry about that much at this moment.
But then,
she only felt a gust of wind blow past her.
A white shadow flashed before her eyes,
and the White-Eyed Tiger appeared right in front of her.
Si came to a screeching halt.
The White-Eyed Tiger's 500 Speed was indeed no joke. She couldn't see its movements at all; it had caught up in just a blur.
The White-Eyed Tiger growled, its tone full of threat.
Because it knew it had just been played by this little fellow.
That magic was harmless; it was nothing more than a distraction.
It could have torn this human child's body apart with a claw from behind, but it didn't. It was highly intelligent and now wanted to let this human know the price of making a fool of it.
Si grit her teeth.
The beast before her was acting like a cat with a mouse.
It was in no hurry to kill her, nor did it intend to let her go.
Instead, it planned to toy with her until she died.
This beast was humiliating her!
