The Only Leveling System Chapter 4 - I'm Reborn As A Kager...?

'My head... Urgh, why is it so bright?' Rem opened her eyes, hearing a familiar voice inside her head.

{You Have Been Reincarnated Successfully. Due To All The Errors And Viruses, The System Has Changed To The Very First Version.}

'What system? First version? What in the world is that...? Wait... I'm alive??? I thought I died from that b*stard of a god. Dammit...! Just thinking about him makes me sick!' Rem shook her head in disgust.

'Weird... I only remember the day I woke up from my coma, the monsters that appeared, and the day I defeated the Demon King. For some reason, I can't remember anything else. What's going on???' Rem tried to remember, but every time she did, her head began to hurt.

After a moment, Rem decided to not think about remembering for now.

'These headaches are horrible! Is it because of all the errors and viruses that caused me to be unable to remember?' Rem wondered.

{The User May Remember Clearly About Some Days In Your Past Life. Some Of Your Knowledge Still Remains, But Everything Else Is Locked.}

'I see... Is that why I can only remember these three days? Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I remember every monster I fought. It said past life. I can feel my heart beating, so I'm not dead. Did I get reborn?'

Without moving, Rem began to look around her surroundings.

'What the— Where am I??? How did I even get here??! Also, why's everything so... Large...?'

Rem was in a grassy, green terrain. There were many hills and a few trees. This scenery seemed peaceful. However, beyond the beautiful, grassy terrain was a dark, creepy-looking forest. Rem could see the grey-colored grass surrounding the forest.

'I don't have a good feeling about that forest...!'

The forest was emitting a dangerous aura. It gave Rem the chills.

'You know what... I'm not getting anywhere close to that forest.' Rem concluded.

Rem could hear birds chirping. When she looked up, she realized that the sky was still blue, but there were two suns.

'This is not Earth... If I'm not on Earth, then where am I...? Am I seeing things?' Rem tried to rub her eyes.

*Poof.

'Huh???' Instead of her having her right hand on her face, a paw smacked her face.

'HUH??? Paws? What??!' Rem looked at her "hands", trying to comprehend what was going on.

Rem was currently on a small hill. Below the hill, Rem spotted a clear, light blue lake. Rem ignored the magical-looking lake and slapped herself, HARD, with her right paw to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

'Ouch, that hurts... I'm not dreaming?'

Trying not to panic, Rem calmed herself and walked towards the pond on her two hind legs.

'Walking on two legs isn't going to work, is it? I can't believe there's a day I would have to learn how to walk on all fours.' Rem sighed, falling a few times like a kid who's learning how to walk.

After a few minutes, she finally reached the lake.

'Walking on all fours sure is harder than it looks.' Rem thought, looking at her reflection in the lake.

She saw a creature with soft-looking, snowy white fur with dark, black stripes covering her back, legs, and face. These stripes made Rem look sort of like a tiger. She has a pair of piercing red eyes that looked like flames. Her eyes reminded her of the eyes of a cat. Only this time, it's red instead of yellow. Her two wolf-like ears twitched as she found it weird, being able to move her fluffy-looking foxtail. Rem estimated that she was about the size of an adult cat.

'This is... Me...? I look like a cat, tiger, wolf, and fox. Maybe I'm a mix of all of them? Just what am I? I've never seen a creature like this before...! How am I supposed to survive in this small body??!'

'I have so many questions... I don't think I'll get the answer to my questions anytime soon. First, I'll have to find a way to get stronger and survive. I don't know if this world has any monsters, but let's just conclude that there are monsters. I can't be too safe, can I? The voice I heard... Who are you?' Rem asked in her mind.

{My name is 001. I'm not a human. I'm a system.}

'Hm... I don't see the menu button. How do I open my status?'

{Imagine the menu screen appear in front of you.}

Rem tried imagining the screen she saw in her past life. Just like she imagined it, a blue screen did appear in front of her.

<Menu>

[Status]

[Inventory]

[???]

'Is it possible to open my status and inventory without the menu appearing because if the menu appears every time, it will be very troublesome!'

{Yes, you can imagine your status or inventory to appear. Multiple screens can appear, so you don't have to worry about limiting yourself to opening only one screen at a time or wasting too much time on opening the menu.}

'Okay, good. What are these question marks?'

{The question marks are there because your level is too low.}

'Alright... Either way, I'll check my status before doing anything. If I don't know how strong I am and what skills I can use, how am supposed to fight or level up?' Rem opened her status screen.

[Skill: Regeneration (E)]

[Hidden Abilities: Leveling System (S), Eye Of Truth (SSS), Creation Magic (SSS)]

'In my past life, I could look at everyone's stats. This includes all living and non-living things, including gods.' Rem recalled some of her battle experiences.

She knows that she had fought with others together before, but she couldn't seem to remember their faces.

'Although the gods were the ones who made my past life into a nightmare, there are people out there that were still sc*mbags. That doesn't mean I don't hate that god though. Alicht... I'll never forget him! I won't ever forgive those gods who played and used us!!!' Rem bared her fangs in anger and looked at herself in the pond again.

'Oh, wow. I have sharp teeth. Having multiple elements is rare. Having a hidden ability is rarer. Having multiple hidden abilities is extremely rare. It's like getting twenty legendaries in a row. That's how rare it is.' Rem looked back at her status screen.

'My status doesn't look too bad. I was quite surprised when my level was reset. Since I've got a new life, it's all worth it. I can just start over. There's no rush... I'll get my revenge someday!' Rem promised herself that one day, she would get revenge.

'Right now, I need to get more information about this world. The Leveling System is probably the voice talking to me, right?'

{You are partially correct. The Leveling System has more functions than that.}

'Tell me. What else can it do?'

{For now, you can only ask for my help and level up faster.}

'Ask for your help? Can you even answer my questions?'

{Well... Not the ones you're thinking about currently.}

'Whatever...' Rem sighed in frustration, looking at the Leveling System's description.

[Your Level Is Too Low. Unable To Inspect This Hidden Ability's Description.]

'Oh, c'mon! You said you're called 001. You should be able to at least answer this question of mine. What world am I in right now?' Rem asked.

{You are currently in the world of Kervthia. You're in the grasslands of the Lentro region.}

'What level do I need to evolve?'

{You need to reach level 20. If you want, I can show you the evolution list.}

'Sure.'

[Level 20 --> Kager★]

[Level 50 --> Kager★★]

[Level 100 --> Kager★★★]

[Level 150 --> Kager★★★★]

[Level 200 --> Kager★★★★★]

'What about the levels after 200?'

{Level 200 is the max level.}

'It's the same this time too... If I defeat the Demon King, would my max level increase?'

{I cannot answer that.}

'Oh well, thanks.' Knowing that the system could not answer most of Rem's questions, Rem continued to look at the descriptions of her Hidden Abilities.

[Description: You will be able to see through other's disguises no matter how strong the disguise is.]

'At least this one gave me a clear description! I remember having this hidden ability in my past life. Did my elements and hidden abilities transfer to this body somehow?'

{Yes. That happened because someone hacked the system, causing you to keep your past life's elements and hidden abilities.}

'Great! Whoever hacked the system, thank you!!!' Rem was grateful.

{Hacking the system is supposedly an impossible task...}

'It happened, didn't it?'

{Indeed.}

Rem opened her inventory.

[You Have Nothing In Your Inventory.]

'That makes sense. This isn't a game. Didn't this happen in my past life too? On the day those creatures appeared... Since I'm a monster, I can't use weapons or wear armor. I titles I have sure are odd.' Rem looked at her titles.

[Description: You had reincarnated before. With this title, you will be able to understand, read, write, and speak every language.]

'Being able to understand, read, write, and speak every language gives me a huge advantage! It'll make my life way easier... Woo!!! No more studying or going to school!' Rem said joyously.

'Now for my other title...' Rem looked at her other title's description.

[You were a genius in your past life. You will be able to read extremely fast.]

'Why is that in past tense...? Were? WERE??? How rude. Maybe it was a grammar mistake or something. Everyone makes mistakes, but whoever made that grammatical mistake better change that to the present tense!' Rem furrowed her brows in disbelief.

'I only have one skill. Just one skill...' Rem was disappointed.

She inspected her skill.

[Description: Regenerate 100 HP and MP every minute. This skill is always activated. You cannot deactivate this skill.]

'Why would I deactivate that skill? It's pretty convenient.' Rem thought, looking back at her status screen.

'Dang... x10 more stats and EXP gain??? This's too overpowered. I suppose it's alright. Being strong and having more advantages is a good thing. I won't complain.'

*Grumbles...

'Ah... I need to eat. Monsters get hungry too. Is there any weak prey I can hunt?' Rem searched her surroundings, making sure not to go anywhere near the dark forest.

In the distance, Rem spotted a white rabbit with a huge pointy horn on it.

'The rabbit looks dangerous..! What should I do to kill it? I should be able to inspect other's status... Right..?' Rem tried inspecting the rabbit's stats.

[Name: N/A]

[Race: Horn Rabbit]

[Role: None]

[Level: 1]

[HP: 400/400]

[MP: 200/200]

[Element: None]

'That rabbit doesn't have any Elements...' Rem noticed.

'Hmmm... Everyone's stats are different. I'm pretty strong for a level 1. The difference between that rabbit and my stats is high. That doesn't matter. I shouldn't underestimate the rabbit or anyone else. You would never know if it will kill you. For now, let's see what skills I'm able to use with my elements...'

[Skills: Stealth (S), Disguise (S), Shadow Bind (E)]

[Skill: Lightning Bolt (E)]

[Skills: Heal (F), Wind Slash (E)]

'This body must specialize in shadow magic since the shadow element is already tier 1. My lightning and wind magic are alright despite being tier 0...' Rem thought, inspecting her elemental skills.

[Description: Become ultra-stealthy.]

[Cost: 300 MP per minute.]

[Cooldown Time: None]

[Description: Put on a disguise by changing your stats or appearance (or both). You can customize your stats and appearance however you want it to be.]

[Cost: 500 MP per hour.]

[Cooldown Time: None]

[Description: Bind the enemy. This will cause the enemy to become unable to move.]

[Cost: Depends on how many chains you create. One chain that's about a meter long will cost 100 MP.]

[Cooldown Time: None]

[Description: Strike the enemy with lightning. There's a 50% chance you may stun the enemy. The overall damage will depend on your INT.]

[Cost: 150 MP per bolt of lightning.]

[Cooldown Time: 1 Minute]

[Description: Heal small injuries. When used, you will gain 500 HP back.]

[Cost: 200 MP per heal.]

[Cooldown Time: 5 Minutes]

[Description: Slash your enemy. This may cause the enemy to bleed (it depends on the enemy's DEF/DEX). This overall damage depends on your STR.]

[Cost: 200 MP per slash]

[Cooldown Time: 30 Seconds]

'All the skills from the shadow element don't have a cooldown.' Rem noticed.

'Maybe it's a coincidence? Hm... Back to how to defeat that rabbit. I'll use Shadow Bind to make the rabbit unable to move. Then, I'll use Lightning Bolt since it costs the least amount of mana.' Rem activated her stealth and sneakily went close to the Horn Rabbit.

After getting to a closer distance, Rem activated Shadow Bind. A black line of shadow magic appeared and surrounded the rabbit. Rem took this chance to use her Lightning Bolt skill. This attack was very effective. It ended up one-shotting the rabbit.

{You Have Leveled Up!}

'Is there a dismantling function?'

{Yes, of course. Simply imagine—}

"Yeah, yeah. Imagine yourself dismantling the rabbit." Rem completed what 001 was going to say.

Rem thought of dismantling the rabbit and a few seconds later, the rabbit was successfully dismantled.

[+1 Horned Rabbit Hide]

[+1 Horned Rabbit Horn]

[+1 Cooked Horned Rabbit Meat]

[+1 F Ranked Mana Stone]

'Cooked rabbit meat...?' Rem's eyes brightened, opening her inventory to take out the meat she obtained.

[1 Horned Rabbit Hide]

[1 Horned Rabbit Horn]

[1 Cooked Horned Rabbit Meat]

[1 F Ranked Mana Stone]

Rem didn't need to ask 001 about how to take out items because she knew how to do it. As always, she imagined taking out the meat. In an instance, the cooked rabbit meat appeared in front of Rem. Rem didn't have any human hands, so the meat went plop on the ground.

'Is it because I used Lightning Bolt on the Horned Rabbit? No wonder it's cooked.' Rem took a bite of the cooked rabbit meat.

*Nom, nom.

'Yum!'

*CrUnCh!

'I bit on a bone... Hm?'

*Crunch, crunch.

'Oh! It doesn't taste bad. It's not hard to chew either!' Rem was impressed by how sharp her teeth were.

She didn't expect a small monster like her to eat bones easily. After eating the rabbit meat, Rem opened her status screen.

'Every time I level up, my HP and MP increase by 2,000 while all my other stats increase by 100.' Rem calculated.

After checking her stats, Rem decided to hunt some more rabbits. After all, she needs more food.

•••

Without breaking a sweat, Rem massacred an enormous number of rabbits. The rabbits she hunted were all levels 1 and 2. If she was lucky, the rabbit would be level 3. She leveled up five times in the process.

[27 Horned Rabbit Hide]

[16 Horned Rabbit Horn]

[39 Cooked Horned Rabbit Meat]

[40 F Ranked Mana Stone]

'Too bad... I couldn't find any more rabbits. This much food should be enough. I won't have to worry about getting water since I can just drink some water from the lake. Now then, time to check my new stats.'

'I don't see or sense any rabbits. Tomorrow, I'll find another prey. I need to start leveling up more. It's getting dark soon... The night is very dangerous. You don't know what's lurking in the dark...! I should quickly find a place to rest and hide.'

After a while, Rem managed to find the perfect place. She decided to rest in the bushes that were near the lake for the night. With her small body, she could hide there without any problems.

'Weird... I'm not sleepy at all. Maybe I'm nocturnal? Hm... I should at least try to sleep...'

After a few hours of lying in the bushes without moving, Rem finally managed to fall asleep.
