Chapter 2: Skills & Stats [Info Dump]
.
..
...
A-Alright...I have to wait since I've already completed my daily mission, what should I do now?
<Ding!>
<Since you have been [Reincarnated], I recommend the user to get familiar with your new body. Once you've completed that, you should also get familiar with your skills>
Right...makes sense.
To get familiar with my rabbit body, I "stretched" for a bit, then I ran with the space that I had.
I assume I'm in some sort of burrow, but it has a lot of space for the size of the rabbits.
After a few minutes, I'm getting used to running, it feels like I've lived in this body for a lifetime. However, I will make sure I'm 100% before I do anything crazy. Don't want to get into a fight and end up losing or even worse dying because I'm not used to this body.
I started to hop, dodge, jump off the dirt walls, anything to workout and get myself familiar.
While I'm doing this, I feel like I'm getting weird stares from the other rabbits. It makes sense if one of your siblings, out of nowhere, decides to act like a maniac.
Not that I care though, It's not like they actually matter to me. Every man for themselves.
I'd probably feel something different if I was a human, but since I'm a monster, I guess I don't feel actual sympathy or love towards them.
They also can't communicate with me anyway, so why should I care?
I kept exercising for a few minutes and I feel like I'm good. I'll do this everyday anyway and I want to practice my skills, which will save my life because I'm 99% sure I'm in a fantasy world.

(A/N: I won't be constantly showing the whole status from now on. I'll only show relevant things to the story and also showing what's new so it doesn't clog up the story. If you want to learn more about this, read at the bottom of the page).
Oh, I got a point in Agility. It's probably from the "workout" I just did. I wonder what increasing these stats do...
System, can you tell me a bit about each stat, so I know what to upgrade when I get skill points?
<Ding!>
<Yes. When you level up, you'll receive 2 skill points. Afterwards, you can increase your stats to make yourself stronger. The following will tell you about each stat...
[Strength: It strengthens your body, increasing your physical capabilities. You improve your physical strength and defense. It also increases your [HP] (Health) by 1 point]
[Agility: Increases your speed. It allows the user to run faster every time the stat is increased. It improves your reaction time and reflex ability. It also increases your [SP] (Stamina) by 1 point]
[Intelligence: Improves your memory and the ability to think faster. When you run out of [MP] you will get mental fatigue. When increasing Intelligence, it decreases the backlash of mental fatigue]
[Magic: Improves your magic skills that require mana. You will be able to have shorter magic casts for complex skills and improve the efficiency of magic. It also increases your [MP] (Mana) by 1 point]
[Charisma: It increases the likability of the user towards other people, especially towards the opposite sex. You can also pacify someone equal or weaker than you]>
...Alright. Everything here looks pretty important. I could save my skill points for emergency situations because I can always gain stats through my [Soul Plunder] skill.
I'll do that then. I don't have any skill points anyway, so it doesn't concern me at the current moment.
Now that I look at my skills, I'd say it's pretty impressive...at least I think? They all have [01] towards them and If I use video game logic, I think it means proficiency of the skill, right System?
<Ding!>
<Yes. The [01] represents the level of the skill the user has achieved. When you use and/or understand the skill(s) better, you'll increase your proficiency. When the user has increased the proficiency of a skill from [01] to [10], it will evolve into a stronger version of that skill. However, there are skills where they only have 1 evolution and they can't evolve anymore>
I see...So If I got nothing better to do, minus well increase the skill level.
Let me take a look at the skills I currently have...
[Rush (Active): Rush towards a target (Living & Non-Living), closing the distance. Increases [Agility] by 10 points for 15 seconds | Consumes 10 [SP]]
[Ram (Active): Headbutts a target. Increases 10 [Strength] for 10 seconds | Consumes 10 [SP]]
[Quick Step (Active): It forces the user to sidestep, completely dodge an incoming physical and/or magical attack. It will not allow the user to dodge if the target has a skill that tracks the user | Consumes 15 [SP]]
[Mana Manipulation (Passive): The ability to manipulate mana from your monster core and your surroundings. Every time this skill is leveled up, you'll be able to manipulate mana better]
[Wind Slash (Active): Summon and Manipulate wind from your surroundings while focusing it into a single point, turning it into a blade of wind | Consume 10 [MP] |
[Wind Magic (Passive): The ability to manipulate wind. Every time this skill is leveled up, you'll have a better affinity towards wind and will understand and manipulate it better]
I think [Quick Step] and [Wind Slash] will be my best friends for now. I saw something interesting in there too, 'monster core'.
In certain light novels, monsters have 'cores' that are called 'monster core' and it basically holds mana inside it. Is that it, System?
<Ding!>
<You are correct. The 'Monster Cores' are what store mana inside a monster. It also helps the monster to have an affinity towards an element. There are 5 basic elements. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Lightning. There are also different attributes like Light and Darkness as well as others. When a monster has a special affinity towards an element, it will be colored differently. Fire: Red, Water: Blue, Wind: Green, Earth: Brown, Lightning: Yellow. Since your natural element is Wind, you have a green monster core. If you have more than one affinity towards an element, the monster core will glow different colors corresponding towards those elements>
I understand. Since I only have 1 element, can I gain another affinity towards different elements?
<Ding!>
<It is possible. There are 3 ways you can obtain a different element. First, you would have to obtain a skill that allows the user to digest monster cores and obtain elements through their cores. Second, You would need to be blessed by a spirit of an element. Lastly, if you have a good understanding of an element, you would be able to gain an affinity towards that said element>
Got it... I can't do anything about that right now, so I'll use [Quick Step] for now because I'll be able to level it up while continuing to get familiar with this new body.
As I activated the skill, it felt like all my senses improved quite a bit. Everything is a tad bit slower... I assume it's because of the increase of [Agility] that the skill gives me... and just like it said in the skill, I quickly step towards the right, like I was dodging.
Although it's a bit unpleasant, losing control over your body for a few seconds. Once you get used to it...It's actually pretty fun.
I like the rush feeling it gives me from the increase of [Agility]. It's like when you're on an adrenaline rush. It feels like I'm untouchable.
Wait... Stop. I can't get overconfident and arrogant because that'll only lead me to my death.
There's millions or probably billions of people out there, countless times stronger than me, my main focus should be getting stronger.
...I say that...but it's just too fun. It's an addicting feeling of growing stronger, pushing past your limits.
As I kept using [Quick Step], I kept getting weird stares from the other rabbits. It even intensified since I'm using a skill.
CAN"T YOU DO SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES LOOKING AT ME?!
It feels really uncomfortable when someone stares at you. Stay cool...I'll ignore it for now.
Anyways, at first the skill was quite rough to use but after a while it feels more natural and it's getting smoother as the time goes by...
<Ding!>
<[Quick Step (Active): 01->02]>
...I knew it. It's pretty satisfying to be able to see your progress when leveling up something.
If I had this when I was on Earth, my life would've been so much easier.
I think I'll level this up to 5 and call it a day.
I kept using it for the rest of the day, reaching the small goal I set up for myself
<Quick Step (Active): 02 -> 04]
However, I kept running out of [SP] and I was getting hungry so I called it early for today.
I made my way towards my mother again and as I expected, the guy didn't appear. I guess he saw my skills and decided not to provoke me.
I think he isn't scared of me though, as all I did was increase the proficiency of my skills. Although their level of intelligence is pretty low, I can assume that he realizes that I'm not a pushover, so he'll have to think about other ways to get at me if he wanted to.
So my trip to my mothers nipple was smoother this time around. I quickly drank from her and... again, it's really delicious. If I can make ice cream with this...oh man, it would be the best.
After I finished drinking, I wanted to find somewhere to rest. I'll probably sleep somewhere near my mother since if I slept alone, I'll probably get attacked by another monster.
I found a comfortable spot and snuggled up towards her. She's pretty soft and warm so I think I'll be able to sleep comfortably, as long as she doesn't roll overtop of me.
Alright, well...Today was a tiring, stressful and an eventful day. I never expected I'll go drinking with my coworkers only to die and reincarnate as a rabbit.
I'm not too upset at this. I think it'll be pretty fun and I don't have a reason to go back to Earth even if I could.
Anyways, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight, System.
<Ding!>
<Goodnight, user>
Hmmm, You keep calling me that. It's probably due to my [Name: None]. Do I have to name myself for you to call me something different from user?
<Ding!>
<Unfortunately, you are not able to name yourself. A stronger being is able to name you and someone who is of equal or lower strength cannot>
...Really? Hmmm... I guess that makes sense since you get named when you're born, but that doesn't work with beings with lower intelligence.
Anyways, I'm sure there will be someone out there who will do me a favor and just name me, hopefully.
Goodnight again, System
<Ding!>
<Goodnight, user>
