Magic gained: [Wind Cutter]
From the edges of my wings, a ball of rock and one out of wind materialized on their respective sides before being shot out towards the two fish I was fighting. Both spells lodged into the skulls of the two [Spring Lake Barracuda], killing them instantly.
Spring lake Barracuda
A barracuda that has adapted to freshwater. Although treated as a normal fish, it is technically classified as a monster as it can evolve. Rank F
'Nice work. Its nice to have an earth spell that doesnt require us to have earth around us, huh?'
Yeah, but this whole hunting session is such a pain. I gave up counting after getting hit by 20 of their water attacks but isnt getting a single resistance skill too hard?!
'Dont ask . Bla the gods.'
Its all your fault, Dragon God!
Well, back to being serious. After my parallel mind gave the much-needed pep talk, we found an underground lake at the end of the path.
I finally found it. Water. I could finally take a nice long bath and wash all the blood, dirt and filth that my body was carrying after the wolf chase. It felt like an eternity since I last had a bath. There werent any large bodies of water in the forest, and I could only shower really using the rain. I was honestly starting to get used to my terrible body odor.
After illuminating the area with so floating [Light]s, I found out that the lake was filled with fish! Not only were there a ton of them, but they classified as monsters.
Parallel mind suggested using this opportunity to learn the [Water Resistance] skill by letting them hit with their [Water Magic], conserving valuable SP. The problem was, we underestimated the effect of [Bearer of Kargryxmors Blood]'s detrintal growth on any water-related skill. I got it in the end, but, oh man, my body was aching. It wasnt joking about my bodys weakness to water.
Not only was it super painful, but it also took off a good chunk of my Health. No joke.
It took forever to learn sothing as simple as [Water Resistance Lv. 1] and it made question if I was developing self-harming tendencies. If it werent for the SP usage reduction, I would seriously assu [Bearer of Kargryxmors Blood] was ant to torture or sothing.
Pain suuuuuucksssss, burh. Urrrugh.
I honestly couldnt tell you how long Id been here. The experience the fish gave was minimal at best, due to our rank difference. To reach level four, I had to hunt them to the point of my storage filling up!
Still, I could hunt freely. No threats were around to stop my fun, really. I initially disliked this cave, but the fact I was the apex predator inside was soooo comforting. It wasnt heaven, but it sure wasnt hell.
I could finally sleep properly. I had a great amount of easy to get at. Enough water for to last for days, even if I used most of it for washing myself. Oh, had I ntioned how good it felt to feel clean? My scales were so smooth now, ooooh yeah.
My city-girl heart had finally found a small haven for R&R.
Soits been quite so ti now, I think. Did you find them?
I hesitantly asked my parallel mind, who had been searching through my brain for certain mories of my past. Honestly, I had to say I was quite patient, considering the answer I wanted to hear. This was even more nerve wracking than waiting for an audition to succeed.
'...No.'
My hopes got shot down.
I see.
'Our mory is in shambles. I think our important mories, the good and bad, are still there but I cant find any nas or faces. Actually, Im questioning if I did overlook a few events, because it feels like I have a hole in my head.
Fuck.
I knew sothing was off. I knew that I was missing sothing when I had that annoying dream. I just thought the things I forgot after my rebirth were minor, not the nas and faces of my parents and family! I couldnt rember any of them. It was infuriating and left my chest feel tight.
Urgh, and just after I finally got my priorities straightened.
'It kinda does make my whole speech useless. The aning is lost without the proper mory to associate it with.'
I sighed. Haaaa Nah, it isnt. You did well. You really gave it your all to make feel better.
'Haha. I do love praises, but false flattery doesnt make feel better.'
My praise was honest from the heart. Shes been working tirelessly without complaining, with the sa anxiousness to know what was going on with . No, I believed it was even worse for her, as she had to continue searching through my mories while I was on autopilot mode, hunting. She did all the heavy lifting.
Praises were aweso. I loved praises. Since she was , she might have thought I did it out of pity, but I could sympathise. It seed we were bit out of synchro there for a mont.
Im completely serious. Its a sha that I cant fully rember it all, but nothing you said was incorrect. I really did need to get my shit together, and just cause I forgot my na and those of my parents doesnt invalidate the mories and teaching I got from them. I still want to be an idol who can shine brilliantly.
Showbizs number one motto: The show must go on!
'Oh gosh. You are so adorable when you say that!'
Huh?!
Parallel mind hugged the ntal image of my dragon self and even began caressing her head against mine. It was kinda embarrassing, even if it was considered self-caressing.
'Ah, I ant that positively! That determination and that ambition. Its like looking at my younger self again~'
Wha-What the hell?! We died when we were 15! You have no right to act like an old grandma and treat like a kid!
'Hiehie. She giggled uncontrollably, infectious enough to raise my own mood. Sorry, sorry. Teasing you while you act so childish is the best. Still, I do appreciate you saying that.'
Praising , when Im sad, has always been Mamas way to make feel better. You know, that trait really is childish, huh?
'Ahh, forget it. Still, it is aweso that you have the determination to go on like that. Losing mories and forgetting your own na is kinda tough.'
Dont speak like it isnt your own problem. Its our problem. Im technically speaking with myself right now, and, after all, I just need so of my mories to remain to press forward.
Nas had a great importance, but clinging onto them when I couldnt wasnt smart. It was being stubborn.
'Ok, enough bantering about this stuff. Our food is ready, so lets eat. The water and fish in our storage should last us about a month, depending on how gluttonous you are, so lets leave afterward, ok?'
The reason why I only saved up a months worth of rations was due to what I ntioned before: my storage officially ran out of space. My maximum Mana capacity determined the limit of my [Storage Magic], and it would grow with every bit of mana I gained, but now it was full.
I prioritized water over at, since a survival show I once watched told securing a source of it was the number one goal you had to do no matter what. Sure, it rained often enough in the forest, but counting on it wasnt reliable. And, at the end of the day, I didnt need as much et since the primary goal was
'Yup, ti to leave our temporary ho. Its ti to grind so experience!'
to hunt!
Proficiency requirent fulfilled. [Night Vision Lv. 3] evolved into [Night Vision Lv. 4]
Haaaa oh MY gosh!
I should have stayed at the lake. I still hadn't found a single thing in days! Tell , what fantasy world cave was completely devoid of monsters guarding it? So big but no substance. There was a lake full of fish in it. Shouldnt it have at least attracted one or two monsters towards this cave? I could return to it, but I couldnt just continuously kill all the barracudas. That would send them straight into extinction!
Urgh, gotta stay positive.
Had I not beco two months old a few days ago? Sure, celebrating in this dark, moist cave wasnt ideal, but I had a fish feast! Imagine all the sashimi and grilled fish for free! Although, I didnt think anybody would have paid for them. I couldnt use my claws well enough to slice them thinly.
'Youre drooling'
Sorry
Honestly, it made uneasy that we spent this much ti in this cave. It felt like yesterday that I beca a month old. Argh, this whole walking around was boring to death. I was actually considering doing so singing practice.
You want to train our voice? I think, once its trained, it could sound pretty pleasant.
'Maybe, but wont it all be redundant once we get [Humanize]?'
Yeah, but co on. Just choose a song so I can sing. Sothing challenging, please.
I can feel a smirk appearing on her ntal image when she heard the word challenging.
Challenging? Heh, how about Imagine from Arian? Lets see you hit those high notes with that lizard voice.
OMG, you are on! Those are so fighting words, girlfriend!Challenge accepted!Ahem.
Kriumph!"
Proficiency requirent fulfilled. [Enhanced Enemy Sense Lv. 7] evolved into [Enhanced Enemy Sense Lv. 8]
With a familiar loud bling sound ringing in my head, I swiftly closed my mouth before I could sing. That was close. If I had noticed just a second later, I would have probably exposed my location to whatever my skill was warning .
The signal felt large, about equal to that first garm, no, maybe it was smaller? To be honest, I didnt think I could fight a rank D monster yet but getting a look at it shouldnt be problematic.
'Buy [Presence Killer] before you go.'
Would you like to buy [Presence Killer] for 200 SP? Your current SP is 850
Yeah!
You have bought [Presence Killer Lv. 1] Your current SP is 650
Presence Killer
A skill to hide against detection abilities. The proficiency of the skill increases with every level. The skill cannot fully disrupt the detection of the user if effort isn't put into it
This was one of the skills I was able to identify on the first garm, the skill that most likely was the reason why I couldnt sense it back then. I have to admit, I was relying on my skills warning against dangers to survive. Skills were just that convenient.
I knew I should fix that problem, to beco less reliant on skills, but that can wait for the future. I had the feeling that I will need the power of all my skills for this encounter.
Proficiency requirent fulfilled. [Prediction Lv. 1] evolved into [Prediction Lv. 2]
Ill make doubly sure that I wouldnt be detected. Digging my sickle-like claws deep in the ground, an attempt to clutch my fists out of human habit, I psyched myself up and began walking towards the signal.
With my skills and senses at their maximum efficiency, I slowly crept towards the target. More signals began to appear as I approached, but I kept myself composed. Panicking now would be a death sentence.
This could be bad. No matter how enthusiastic I was about this confrontation, I really shouldnt risk it. My stealth abilities werent that high and if it were another garm, I would definitely be caught and killed.
Hmm
Staying around wouldn't be of any help. The first thing I needed was information. Was this threat dangerous enough to force to backtrack and find another way out of this cave? I felt anxious, but this had to be done. One brave step at a ti.
You can do it. Nothing will go wrong. You have the power and skill to not be detected. Its only a little peek.
Phew.
Thankfully they werent garms. I was really expecting the sa shit in the forest to happen again, and that I accidentally landed in the garms ho. However, what I found seemingly made feel more confident in myself.
Orc
A muscular humanoid monster with two small tusks. Although not the smartest, these monsters still possess an adequate amount of intelligence. Stunning strength and sturdy defence must be planned for when one fights such a creature. It has a strong sense of sll, despite its humanoid nose. Rank D
There seed to be five of them gathered here. Looking through their profile their stats were inferior compared to the two garms but all of them had jobs. Similar to the kobolds, the orcs used weapons and weapon abilities to compensate for their inferior stats in comparison to a pure monster, like the garms or .
'You ok with that?'
Yeah. I have to admit that I am itching for a fight after your whole speech.
At the end of the day, these orcs were rank D monsters, a rank that I couldnt underestimate at my current state. They were equally as fearso as those garms, in a way. That was what I needed to always rember. Being overly cautious wasnt a bad thing here.
Ga face on. Co on!
Their profile had given a good idea on how to defeat them! They were slow but strong. In a one-on-one match, I knew my magic abilities and new draconic abilities could take each of them down. The problem laid in separating them.
Even with my firepower, I wouldnt dare expect an orc to fall with a single attack, aning I probably needed to go for an ambush attack to soften them up first. Fighting them head-on would be tough.
Unfair as it sounds, it is the best plan to approach this fight.
'Hahaha. Even I feel a bit too excited about this. Guess I can't control it when I'm literally feeling the sa urge to fight like yours.'
Shush, one of them is moving!
Yup, it seed like the group was separating by themselves. The lone orc told them goodbye before sitting back down, only to stand up and walk towards the lake? This was perfect! Once it let its guard down, that would be the ti to strike!
Gotta be patient with this. No need to rush after all. The battle plan was set, and all I need to do was to execute it properly.
Ti to re-enter the spotlight!
