Chapter 4: [Chapter—4]
Slowly walking through the woods just outside the village I hummed a song nonchalantly as I used my senses to track down any animal within my sensing radius.
This had the effect of granting me a new skill though.
[—Skill: Tracking—[15/100]
—Description: Allows the user to track anything he gains a trail of efficiently. ]
I must get a notification system as soon as I return as I only found out that I gained this skill after I went to check my CQC skill.
But with this skill it turned my mediocre tracking skill boosted by my sense into an actually skilled tracker allowing me to track monsters easily even at level 15.
Also something of note about this world is that they also had unique skills they are born with, said skills were magical in effect from what I've seen.
I mean I saw a guy grow wings and fly out of the city so my conclusion that this world wouldn't be that bad was squashed.
I was fucked.
I have also learnt that this was almost probably an isekai world, I mean if the quest telling me to kill the hero's wasn't evidence enough.
I gathered enough knowledge to know what to do and what not to do and if I wanted my 'Project: Viral Apocalypse ' to work then I needed to be more careful.
I also needed to learn more about my ability.
The [Ability System] would have been of great help right now as at least I would be able to see the description of my ability along with its limits and even strengthen it.
One thing that was already clear was that I couldn't manipulate plant life and fauna at all, I could feel that I should be able to but nope.
I only gain slight instinctive knowledge of whatever plant I touch and no control over them at all.
But with this I have been able to find various types of plants that had special effects such as poison, paralysis, healing and clotting properties.
Alchemy was a thing here and I wanted to learn it so picking these early was gonna help out a lot, but even without the prospects of alchemy the basic knowledge I gained and their Bio-Makeup I could perceive through my ability will make the creation of my virus that much easier.
"*Growwwwl!*"
I heard the growls of an animal not that far away with my enhanced senses and looking at the felled grass and disturbed soil my tracking skill allowed me to track it in just a couple minutes.
And finding a 7 metre tall bear biting down on the head of a huge ass rat wasn't how I thought this would go.
' Well...time to test how strong I am.' I thought as I slowly began sneaking up on the monster.
By this worlds power system the bear known by the villagers as R'ill was an A+ Rank Threat.
Now if someone were to ask me whether what I was about to do was smart or not I would tell him no, It wasn't but I was confident in my survival.
I mean the lion that I killed just after arriving in this world is apparently a B- ranked threat so you could see where my confidence was coming from.
And seemingly due to the lack of sneaking skill the bear immediately noticed me.
"*ROAAAAAR!*" and it roared at me, loudly.
" Okay...let's do this you overgrown beast." I mocked it even knowing fully well that these things were not smart enough to understand.
And as I watched it throw the huge were-rat to the ground before it started charging towards me with apparent bloodlust I just simply got into a stance and let go of all control of my body.
While in a second it was able to cover just a metre towards me, I was able to run towards it and appear in its face in less then that.
Backing up my fist I using my advantage in speed threw a wild haymaker in its face.
*BOOOM*
Feeling a slight ' Squelching ' on contact and the tearing of flesh I watched as the bear got thrown a dozen metres away getting its body further damaged by the dozens of trees it just went through.
Watching all of this while still in stance I frowned.
There was no level up notification or exp notification.
It survived.
" Oh?...a tough one aren't you?" I said with a grin as I watched the bear slowly stand up groggily and saw that half its face was just bits of mangled flesh making me grin even more.
I missed this feeling, overpowering those weaker then me.
" Come on now..." I said as I watched the bear slowly orientate itself but with half its face gone along with its eye it was hard.
"*ROAAAAAR!!!!!*"
The bear roared and I watched as its body started exuding a reddish aura around its body and watched as its body began bulking up.
".....okay that's not fair." I thought with a sigh, I expected this of course.
In this world everything sentient and Sapient is born with a skill, some racial skills and some unique to only them.
And of course monsters also gained instinctive racial skills that they developed over their lifetimes.
All these skills were powered by a multiversal known and common energy, mana.
And I sure as hell didn't have any of that so I was at a disadvantage as what the bear just used was obviously a buff skill that probably just made it more of a threat to me.
But I wasn't that worried.
I would win regardless.
" Come at me!" I shouted as I lunged at the beast and seeing it do the same with the same amount of speed as me I was taken aback for a second and was able to gain back focus enough to dodge a swipe from its claw.
Rolling to the side I kept myself at the side of its body where it's eye was destroyed and again lunged at the thing.
Throwing another fist at its face gained me not what I expected, instead of the beast getting shot into the air like before, this time the beast just swiveled its head from the blow and returned with one of its own and in my moment of astonishment got my chest sliced opened and threw back a couple metres before my back met a tree.
"ARGHhhh!" I grunted out as I felt my chest throb with pain and a feeling as if I was on fire begin to overwhelm me.
Looking at my chest in suprise as I saw my ribs through the gaps of my torn flesh.
I wondered how I was even alive with such a wound.
Opening my status gave me an answer though.
[—HP: 2,378/4,000—]
This little shit took almost half my health points.
The only reason I was probably alive was due to my constitution stat being high enough that even these types of wounds wouldn't kill me instantly.
" You fucker..." I muttered in slight anger, not at it but at myself.
I got cocky and worst of all, I got distracted in the middle of the fight.
Putting a hand on my chest I willed for my chest to reknit itself and some of my broken bones to attach themselves together.
And my ability did just that as I watched myself start healing.
And the bear seemingly seeing how that would be a bad idea to let happen threw itself towards me again.
" You bitch!" I muttered beneath my breath.
