" So what's my current level?" I ask curious.
" Status panel open." Nike says. A green hologram appears in front of my face. A status?

" Umm...status? My surname's is Miles, huh? " Should I be looking at this in the middle of a fight?" I glance at the Lion.
It's still standing, it's eyes narrowed. "Why isn't it attacking?"
" Either it's still taking the new surroundings,
or still getting used to it's weaker state, or it's
sizing you up." Nike said.
" Does it have a status too? I'm I really not strong enough?"
" View status." Nike said.

" You said you reduced it to my level !!"
" It's still stronger than you." Nike mocked. My left eye twitched in annoyance.
" What about my other skills ?" I ask. " The more you develop, the more skills you earn." Nike says consolingly.
The Lion roared immediately, probably tired of doing nothing, before I can say anything
else , it lunges at me. Some kind of instinct
had me holding out my fists in a double punch.
"DING! Smash skill unlocked." I heard Nike say. The Lion tries to dodge, but my punches hit him square in the chest, sending him unto the ground. I retract, shocked at the damage I did, but before I could celebrate, the wounds heal.
I didn't hesitate to use smash on it's head but it did almost nothing. I stood back and
tried to think, but I forgot the Lion was intelligent.
I try smash again, missed and, since it seemed done assessing me, it rewarded my
insolence in a flash with a claw in my gut.
My mouth opens in a silent scream, the pain catching me off guard, blood ran down my chin from my mouth, I ignore the pain
enough to deliver three fast hits to its head with smash.
It's head blew up, dead body dropping on the transparent like floor, with me in tow. So I can't even handle a level 1 beast.
How educational. I shuddered at the thought of fighting the Lion at its original strenght.
I let out raspy breaths while clutching the wound to try and reduce the bleeding coming from my gut.
"DING! Grade up ⚡"
I check my status and see that I've become
5 times more agile, intelligent and stronger.
My XP has also increased by 5. It seems I took the lions skill "Heal". I decide to test it out and whisper "Heal" immediately my gut
wound closed up quickly though I still
wheezed while I breathe. I wipe blood off my chin as Nike says "congrats! You're alive"
"No thanks to you? " I say.
"Maybe it's your luck but golden Lions aren't
supposed to be in this part of the jungle."
Nike says. "The animals here are more or less on par with you. You usually find a lv 2
beast type as the strongest." But that's BTW.
I'm sure you do t remember what you look like, so take a look? She sounds excited and
for some reason I'm too. A system 'mirror' appears in front of me.
It seems to be encased in a golden frame with unintelligible inscriptions, constantly giving out momentary glows.
I am stunned at my reflection. My pointed nose stands out above my full lips, my mature gray stormy eyes catch my attention
My ears are pointed, like that of an elf, and one of them is adorned with three piercings.
I touch them, checking if their real, my
