After killing that mutated child ant, he continued searching for others but surprisingly after killing more ants he didn't get any experience. So Arthur came into conclusion that the stronger the opponent the bigger the experience.
He continued to slaughter ants just to be sure but he didn't even advance half a level. So he wandered around the ant's labyrinth to find a way out however, due to his low Stamina he had to take short pauses every now and then.
Arthur stuck and wasn’t sure what he should do as he was trapped in this huge labyrinth with no way out. But an idea struck him.. didn't he learn the ant's language? So why didn't he use it? Maybe the idea of talking to ants is what made him disregard such a solution, or perhaps, unconsciously he still rejected anything due to his past experiences.
He struggled on whether he should try to talk to one of them and after some time, he finally decided he should. This is a new life and being this passive and afraid would only lead him to a life like the past one.
He searched for a mutated ant after that and soon enough he found one, he hesitated for a second before walking towards the ant and speaking to it using their language. He didn't have any prior knowledge about their language but thanks to his special skill, he was able to understand it and speak it fluently despite how weird it sounds.
"Hello, I seem to have hit my head when fighting the intruder and I feel a bit disoriented. Do you mind telling me where I can find the closest exit?"
Even though he finally mustered the courage to talk to an ant, he made a lame excuse while asking for the exit. His worries were for naught as the other party pointed toward certain direction before it resumed its work.
Surprisingly, not long after he started sprinting, he found the familiar hole in the roof and guessed it to be the exit. So he jumped with all his strength and landed outside of this hellish labyrinth, it really gave him the creeps to be inside it.
'FINALLY OUT!'
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief then checked his surroundings. He didn't like the ant's body and found it rather uncomfortable so he concentrated on leaving the body and 'poof', he was out.
Though he had to crawl to move around, that didn't matter for him as his original body was more comfortable to him than the ant’s.
He began to crawl aimlessly with high speed and after a few minutes, he noticed that his body was bigger by a few inches. Unfortunately, it was too little to make a difference so he just ignored it.
When he was roaming in an area where the bushes were as big as mountains, Arthur felt a bit anxious as he feared to encounter a large predator. Nonetheless, he continued his crawling while searching for a suitable host to possess. After all, he's a parasite and in such an environment, the best solution for survival is getting stronger.

After some time he arrived at a big field. There were no bushes or anything except a huge creature not far away. It was gigantic and had a brown body, Arthur guessed it to be a boar-like creature since it really was similar to the boars from his world.
What was special about this creature is that it had a red gem in its forehead. Also it was larger than a normal boar and had large legs, but this didn't startle him much since this was a new world and discovering new races and beasts would, sooner or later, become a normal thing for him.
Anyway, He crawled until he reached its legs, fortunately, it didn't seem to notice him or perhaps it just ignored him for he was too little and insignificant to waste time killing him.
He appraised the Boar-Like Creature and he Got this;
Forest boar (beast): LVL6
After seeing his status, Arthur gave up on the idea of possessing this boar because it was simply way stronger than him. It could crush him, and he wouldn't be able to resist, his end would be pathetic and miserable.
He really didn't know what to do, for the time being he needed a big enough body to roam the world and discover where he is and with his current small body it would take him forever to do that, so the boar was a perfect target for him.
Arthur pondered for some time, not knowing what to do when suddenly, a reckless and idiotic idea struck him. He didn't know if he should do it or not but he finally decided to go through with it, after all, he was this close to the boar and it didn't even bother to kill him so he had to grasp this chance.
He crawled to the boar's legs as fast as he could and aimed to enter from the hole in its rear. Yes, it seemed really disgusting but he had no other choices, he didn't even know if it would work or not. Nevertheless, he decided to risk it. His speed was out of the norm, along with a small amount of luck, his dive was successful.
You have successfully possessed a Forest Boar
He opened his eyes and was joyful he could see the field in front of him with a much better and larger view.
You have Gained a new skill(active): [Sprint LVL3]
You have Gained a new skill(passive): [Stamina Reduction]
Stamina Reduction(passive): Your Stamina Decreases 3.5% Slower

Well, his stats rose by a significant amount. He should really thank 'X' for this amazing cheat. Arthur wondered whether he is considered strong or not, almost 100 in strength seemed like a lot but he dared not overestimate his power or act carefree lest he ends in the same fate as his past life.
After adjusting to his new body, he began to wander around in what seemed to be a forest, but surprisingly, he didn't find a single creature even after walking for some time. Anxiety soon enveloped him and dangerous thoughts overwhelmed his mind. He even thought of the possibility of this forest being haunted although it looked pretty normal and peaceful.

Whilst he spent time searching for a relatively safe place to sort his thoughts. Arthur managed to get used to the Boar's body, at least, he will be able to put up a small fight in case danger comes. Approximately an hour later, he stumbled into a horrifying scene that momentarily startled him and he stood frozen in the same spot for several seconds.
A big silver wolf 2 meters high and 1.5 meters in length was devouring a boar like him just 100 meters away. It was seriously terrifying, the boar’s body was torn apart and blood was everywhere. He stood there scared, he couldn't even move from fear, but not even a couple of seconds passed and the Silver wolf noticed him, it stopped devouring the poor boar and stared at him with its ferocious eyes.
He could feel its ferocity from where he stood, while he was lost in thought not knowing what to do, the silver wolf leaped in his direction. At full speed it resembled a streak of lightning as it made its way toward him.
Although he was in a boar's body, the agility stats was not just for show. When he was searching for a safe place, he tested his speed and Holy Cow was it insane. If someone from earth saw a boar run like that, they would just think they are hallucinating or dreaming, after all, there is no way a boar could run like a leopard.
The amount of Agility he got from the Boar was very little but he was a Parasite and had increased speed and for this, Arthur was pretty thankful.
Even though he judged his speed to be greater than his opponent, the fear still rooted him to the ground and he couldn't move. When the wolf finally struck Arthur, it bit him in his neck with its sharp fangs.
You have Been Bitten (-49 Health)
Due to the Effect of BloodFangs: Your stats have been decreased:-10% mana
-2 health every second
'ARGH, it fucking hurts!'
The pain was insane but it helped him snap out of it and come back to his senses. The thought of him dying without getting revenge and not even being able to enjoy a peaceful day in his new life popped into his head.
The rage and anger that were slumbering inside of him emerged, making his breath erratic and his mind blank for a split second. He started remembering all those painful memories and all the torture he received. His hatred exploded and he started slamming the wolf to the tree so it would lose its grip but its fangs were so deep in Arthur's neck that it wouldn't let go no matter how much he struggled.
Furthermore, his health was decreasing fast due of the effect of blood fangs. Nonetheless, he slammed into the tree again and again, without even caring about the pain, all he was thinking about was his revenge, he even forgot about the current situation.
While he was angrily pummeling the wolf into the tree, his mind cleared a bit when he heard sounds in his head but he just ignored it and kept repeating the same action ruthlessly.
Arthur only stopped after a while had passed, he felt his body become numb from the excessive blood loss and the depletion of his Stamina. He turned his head and looked at the area the wolf was supposed to be, however, all that was left of it was chunks of meat and bloodstains.
Even the tree was destroyed beyond recognition. He stood there, surprised at what he just did, everything about what happened seemed blurry. Although he was gravely injured, the good thing was that he didn't lose his life, with blood all over the ground and gory meat paste next to him, Arthur checked his Logs to see what was the noise he heard a bit earlier was about.
level up!

level up!
Congratulations! Since you Attained level 5 all Status: +50
Congratulations! the skill [Swift] is now level 2
Congratulations! You have Gained a new title: Meat Grinder
+10 strength / + 10 vitality if equipped
He was happy to see he gained levels, and also he got +50 to all his stats, that really made him even more delighted. To be honest, he regretted doing what he did, had he controlled his emotion and just stopped after killing the wolf he could have possessed it. For it was a much better vessel than a boar, plus, he would gain the wolf's stats which would really be helpful.
'I really should get a hold of my emotions, huh?'
After going through his status window again, he started searching for a place to sleep for the night.
He felt mentally and physically tired, after all, it was a long day full of surprises. For a man like himself who lived in modern society, to experience all of this is exhausting, to say the least. Arthur wasn't particularly knowledgeable about forest-life, but he at least knew that there must be dangerous beasts that hunt at night. It would be too unfavorable for him to roam an unknown territory when such monsters lurk around.
Soon enough, Arthur found a little cave not too far from where his 'battle' occurred, he entered and laid on the ground to rest. Today was a tiresome day for him and he needed time to recuperate some Stamina and let his mind relax.
His neck was still in pain because of the wound from the wolf's fangs but his health bar was recovering slowly but surely, and that's certainly a good sign. He didn't feel hunger since he ate the wolf or what was left of it. So he just closed his eyes and thought about his current life and how things were bad from the moment he was reincarnated.
The passing of time went unnoticed for the sleeping boar until the light coming from the shiny sun woke him up. He felt energetic as he stretched his body and surveyed the cave just in precaution.
The good thing was that his wound was completely healed, his health and stamina bar were also full, he checked his status window again to see if anything changed:
