Chapter 8
Who was it again that thought fighting five Giant Frogs simultaneously was a good idea? Well, that was me. And I freaking regret that decision…
Shit! Shit! SHIT!! Now, four Giant Frogs were chasing after me. I’m a freaking idiot!! Just because I evolved and gained some new skills, I thought I could fight those things en masse?! That’s just ridiculous!! Damn, I hate my past self!! Honestly, at first it was going well. I even managed to kill one of them because of my surprise attack, but it only goes downhill after that. After killing the first frog, I rapidly charged towards the second nearest one and bit one of its legs. And because of my new and stronger fangs, I managed to pierce its skin and break its bone. Unfortunately, before I managed to finish the job, another Giant Frog had launched an attack. Of course, I managed to dodge. But then, the three goddamn frogs launched a barrage of tongue attack simultaneously.
If it was me before evolution, I’m sure I would already be a dead meat by now. But probably thanks to my newly found strength through evolution and some assistance of my new skill Swiftness, I managed to dodge those barrages of whip like tongues. Well, that was until the fourth frog recovered and joined the fray. And now, here I am once again running for my life… Maybe I really deserve that title…
Fortunately, I am way faster than before, so it didn’t take too long before I lost them. While I was trying to catch my breath, I saw a new notification.
[Skill Swiftness has ranked up]
[Skill Swiftness is now at Rank C]
Well, at least I got something good out of it. But still… My stomach growled. That’s right, ever since I woke up in this newly evolved form, I felt really starved. It was just my guess, but most likely in order to evolve, one needed enough nutrition to sustain the process. This is important info. I’m not sure what will happen if the body’s nutrition isn’t enough, but my guess is that my body will automatically search for nutrition while I am asleep. In short, I will sleep-eat. And if I didn’t find any food… I would probably… die… Of course, all of that was just merely my speculations. But I had a feeling that I was right. Looks like evolution is not all good things. I need to prepare for it next time. After all, I don’t want to die in the middle of evolution.
While I was thinking about such things, I saw a new monster that I haven’t seen before just a little distance away. Now that’s new. Looks like Giant Frogs is not the only monster dwelling in this area. I thought as I gazed at the clueless monster drinking on the lake. Oh yeah, I haven’t been able to use it earlier against those Giant Frogs but I have the Assess skill. Alright, let’s test it… And so, I used Assess for the first time… But… Huh? I tilted my head in confusion because of the result.

From what I could remember from my time playing MMORPG’s, it was possible to look at the details of players and important in game objects and items. That was why when I first saw the effect of my skill Assess, I thought that I would be able to do the same. Unfortunately, reality wasn’t that convenient because the only information I saw was…
[Lizard]
And that was it… Hey, are you kidding me? I didn’t even need to use a skill to see that. It was seriously such a letdown. I mean, I was even excited to use it at first because it might help me get more information about this place. Oh well, it is still at Rank D after all. And from what I can tell, that was the lowest rank. Which means if I managed to raise its rank high enough, it might turn out to be actually useful. Besides, it isn’t a rare skill. Which means there are a lot of people who also have this skill. Of course, there’s also a chance that it was just a trashy skill that is easy to acquire, but let’s just be positive for now.
Since I still hoped that the skill would eventually turn out useful, I decided to raise its rank. And based on what I have learned so far, I just need to use it enough times. Anyway, getting back on the lizard monster, I decided that it would become my meal. And so, with careful steps, I slowly walked towards its blind spot. Fortunately, it was still busily drinking water. When I judged that the distance was enough, I charged ahead and activated my skill Haste…
With a sudden burst of incredible speed, I rushed at the lizard. Because of my surprise attack, the lizard wasn’t able to react in time and I easily bit it in the neck. But even then, the lizard didn’t just die instantly and was in fact still stubbornly resisting. I tried to hold it down by stepping and putting my weight on its back. But since it was about the same size as me, holding it down turned out harder than expected. Unfortunately, I was more stubborn and I increased the strength of my bite until its neck snapped and it finally stopped moving.
Well, this thing is incredibly tenacious. As I pay my respect to the lizard’s tenacity, I looked around to check if there was any other enemy nearby. Once I made sure that there wasn’t any, I started to drag the dead body of the lizard behind a huge boulder. Okay time to eat. Thank you for the meal!!

It has been a few days now since I awaken to both my memories. Well, I couldn’t really tell the difference between night and day in this area, but I have that convenient thing on my Status Screen that would always tell me how long I have slept so I used it to estimate how much time had passed. Of course, in order to survive, I always hunt for prey to eat on my way to god knows where. Well, it was not that I didn't have a goal. In fact, now that I remembered what happened, my ultimate goal was to get out of this dungeon and search for my little sister.
Based on what happened before I was allegedly teleported into this place, I'm pretty sure that my little sister was taken by those three humans. But that would also mean that my little sister was currently in a human country somewhere so searching for her meant that I need to venture into a human populated country eventually. The problem was, I am a monster. And judging by the behavior of those three humans before, I am quite sure that the relationship between monsters and humans wasn’t that friendly. The only reason I could think why those three didn’t immediately kill us was because we were still a Dire Wolf Cub at that time. Probably, humans could tame monsters as long as they raise it from childhood and that’s why they took my sister. So, for now, I could only hope that my sister was still alive and safe.
And so, being that the problem was I am a monster. Then I just needed to look like a human even though I wasn’t one. How would I pull that off? Well, it was through evolution. Huh, you didn’t understand? Okay. You see, since there was such a thing as evolution in this world, and being that I am also a member of the so-called Wolf Species. I started to think that maybe the race of Werewolves also existed in this world. And probably, I could become a member of that race since technically, Werewolves were also part of the wolf species. I mean, it was even in the name of the race itself! It may just be my speculation, but being this is a game like fantasy world, that may actually be a thing. My only problem was how many evolutions would I need to undergo in order to reach that point. That was why in the past few days, I hunted not only to eat, but also to gain some levels.
By going on hunt every single day, I managed to reach level 14. It was still a long way before evolution but it was still progress. During these past few days, I hunted and ate a lot of those lizards and also some frogs. Though in order to kill and eat a Giant Frog, I needed to find one that was separated from the others and ambush it. It was actually going well, and I was actually starting to get used to it.
Of course, being that I hunt and move around every day, I also saw some new monsters. One was also a lizard (Courtesy of my skill Assess), though it was probably the next evolution of the lizard since it was larger and looked more powerful. The other was clearly the next evolution of the Giant Frogs. That frog monster has four eyes, and it was bigger compared to a normal Giant Frog. And yes, I’m not kidding when I said it was bigger. I mean, even I thought that those Giant Frogs were big enough, I called it giant after all. But imagine my surprise when I saw something bigger than that. Yeah, I almost went nuts. And of course, I am not crazy enough to fight that thing as I am now. Same goes for the evolution of the lizard monster because I was still having a hard time killing a normal one.
Anyway, today I caught and killed three lizard monsters. Yes, I said three, and I would definitely eat all of them. Seriously though, I couldn’t believe I could eat this much. This was actually one thing I have noticed. Apparently, now that I have evolved, my appetite also increased. I wonder if it is because I am a rare monster? Or maybe for Dire Wolves this much is normal? While I was eating and thinking such useless things simultaneously, I once again heard the Mechanical voice.
[All conditions satisfied]
[Received Title: Predator]
Oh, I got a new title!

8 317Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
