[Day 21]
After having eaten the bones and fur of the entire carcass, I was pretty filled up, enough for me to walk the entire day and night.
However, I still encountered a pack of wolves, of around 5 of them.
But instead of attacking me, they immediately began to run away the moment they saw me.
How odd, I thought they were always aggressive?
I managed to catch three of them and was able to kill them by simply slashing their heads or crushing them with my sheer physical strength.
Well, that was a big jump, I went from struggling to fight against two of them to crush them like ants, I guess the difference between Stages of cultivation is rather big.
I decided to eat the three wolves right away, and stockpiled a bunch of calories, I discovered that my Immortal Body and the other Unique Skills evolve with me, and gain new effects as I evolve.
One of the new effects of the Immortal Body is the ability to stockpile a lot of calories, so I don't have to worry about saving food for later, I can simply eat it all and use the stockpiled calories to get by.
Eating the Mana Cores still does give me stats, but it has stopped having such a good effect, sometimes I only get 1 stat, when it used to be 3…
Anyways, here are the changes.
<Analyze has been activated>
<Unique Skill: [Immortal Body] has the following effects>
Supernatural Physique: The Ability to have a supernatural body, your strength is above the average on your species, and you are more likely to develop more supernatural abilities. Your senses are sharper than the average being of your species, and you have an easier time adapting to different types of energies.

Great Digestion: The Ability to digest anything you eat and slowly convert it into usable calories and mana. While eating, your regeneration speed increases.
Additional Effect 1: Calory Stockpile: You can stockpile calories in great quantities, anything you eat will be stockpiled as surplus to be used later.
Immortal: You are ageless. After reaching the stage of maturity of your species, you stop aging and can live for eternity, lifespan is not a concept for you.
Super Regeneration: Doubles the speed of the regeneration of your wounds, and gives the ability to regenerate lost limbs, organs, and more.
Additional Ability 1: Status Effect Great Resistance: You have great resistance against all types of status effects, and can easily develop Resistance-based Skills. Additionally, you are immune to curses ad parasites, easily rejecting such forces or creatures.
<These are your Abilities>
Yup, I got Additional Abilities of the Abilities that already exist, pretty interesting, this System keeps surprising me, not going to lie.
And now I seem to be immune to curses and parasites too, but why that from all things?
Maybe this is something that Dragons get!
…No. I think that Immortal Body is just an overpowered cheat ability.
I mean, without it, I would be a goner long ago.
But God, even with an overpowered cheat ability, I still struggled quite a bit.
And I might struggle even more as I go, there are many Ranks above me, it's just a matter of time until I meet something stronger than me again.
I might just run away I guess unless I am trapped as it happened with the Ice Bear.
Anyways, as I go on with my life, I keep walking straight from where I woke up, slowly descending this mountain and the large pine tree forest that leads down below.

It has been a few hours since the sun emerged from the horizon, and I have not felt sleepy nor tired at all.
This must be due to my amazing dragon physique or something? Maybe?
Well, I slept a lot after killing the bear anyways.
Suddenly, I stop, as I am greeted by a little critter that jumps out of the nearby tree.
"Kyuuu!"
It resembles a white-colored rat, but it has long, monkey-like arms and legs, and it's holding into a stone.
Eh? Is he provoking me?
I inspect it.
Oh, it's weak.
But… wait, why would a weakling like you dare oppose a dragon-like me?
Wait, don't tell me he got a mommy and daddy looking for it.
I better run away from it as fast as possible then.
Sorry, but I am not going to fall for that cliché of killing an annoying little monster only to be chased by the strong parents!
I evade the monkey rat and I keep going my way.
It throws a stone at me, but the blow is easily reflected by my scales.
You'll need more than that to damage youngling!
As I keep walking away, it begins to follow me.
"Kyuuuuuuuu!"
Can you stop doing that weird sound?!
Leave me alone!
I am a lonely solo player, I need no friends, heh.
…Joking.
But I don't want to have to do anything with you, little rat.
I keep running away, but the bastard keeps chasing after me.
I look around and scan everywhere to see if there isn't a giant gorilla behind him or something… and nothing.
Damn, little guy, are you really alone by yourself?
I glance at it as it groans.
"Kyu! Kyuu!"
It is really not afraid of me.
Maybe because it is a youngling?
Err…
It suddenly begins to crawl over my body, using my icy spikes to easily do it.
It suddenly sits over my back.
"Kyuu!"
Damn, it's cute.
Okay but, I can give you a ride, but don't throw stones at me again, alright?
"Kyuu...!"
The rat-faced monkey thing groans cutely.
Ugh, I thought I had a cold heart, but this little thing warmed it.
God damn it, I have fallen into the plot trap.
Now a giant gorilla is going to come to kill me at any second…
…
No?
Well, you never know!
I decide to simply keep walking my way as the little rat monkey rests over my back, after a few hours, he falls asleep…
I wonder if it is hungry…
Eh? I am not looking over him or something!
I don't want any friends! I am a grumpy old dragon now!
Or am I?
The night quickly descends as I decide to rest for a bit.
