[on the hunt fishing]

Obsi woke up grumpy again, he was still underwater, still a leech and his 'home' started to feel small. If he hadn't bitten of that pice of rock yesterday he would have to have done it today to simply get out. Compared to before he has grown about half times bigger than before.

I think I'm twice as big as a German shepherd now, and about 4 times the length. I will have to find another place to rest at probably since I don't know if I will grow bigger again.

As Obsi waddle out of his cave with some effort he thought about the situation with the bone nibblers.

Will they still attack me? Or are they that dumb? Only one way to find out since I don't have another food source.

Ten minutes later when he saw the carcass he slowed down and stared to approach it carefully. When he finally reached it he noticed the carcass is even more eaten, not as much as would be expected from the sight yesterday but still somewhat more eaten. What surprised him more was the fact that the bone nibblers completely ignored him.

You got to be kidding me, they really are that stupid!

With a heightened mood he approached a bulky flesh eater, this time he only got about 5 meters close before it noticed him thanks to his increased size. What it didn't know was that Obsi's speed had increased tremendously and in just a second he was biting into the bulky fish.

Holy shit I'm fast! My size may become a problem but I think I can work around it.

With his catch in him maw he sucked it dry in a little more than a second.

Sucking speed went up as well.

YOU KILLED A LEVEL 3 'DEEP SEA BULK FISH!

BONUS EXPERIENCE FOR KILL A FOE HIGHER LEVEL THAN YOU!

I wonder how hard getting a level is. Well it doesn't really matter. I'll probably reach level 3 anyways.

Obsi started looking for another target, when he found a second bulky fish he got as close to it as the last one before he was noticed. He charged it, biting right into its rear, it went as well as the last one did, unfortunately all the flesh eating fish were wary of him again.

Not so unfortunately he got another message.

YOU KILLED A LEVEL 2 'DEEP SEA BULK FISH'! YOU HAVE EARNED THE SKILL 'CHARGE'

DESCRIPTION: CHARGE AT ENEMIES WITH INCREASED SPEED.

Wow, a new skill? So skills can be earned like titles. What about other stuff? Will I get a stat increase if I swim long enough? I will test it later, right now I want to eat more.

As the bone nibblers were mostly ignoring him he began sneaking up on one of them. This one was busy eating a tail bone and didn't notice him before a couple hundred teeth sank into it right between its armored pieces.

As Obsi got the notifications he started swimming away as fast as possible, leaving behind a couple dozen angry bone nibblers.

Now then, I got what I wanted, let's check the notification.

YOU KILLED A LEVEL 3 'SHELL FISH'!

BONUS EXPERIENCE FOR KILLING A FOE HIGHER LEVEL THAN YOU!

+1 LEVEL!

+2 STRENGTH

+1 AGILITY

+1 ENDURANCE

Wait a second, I got more stats this time, is it because I matured? I think so. Anyways, time to look at my status, I should have done it before.

NAME: Obsi LEVEL: 3 RACE: DEEP SEA LEECH (VARIANT) HEALTH: 30 MANA: 190 STAMINA: 40

ATTRIBUTES:

STRENGTH: 9

VITALITY: 3

ENDURANCE: 4

AGILITY: 12

INTELLIGENCE: 17

WISDOM: 19

WILL: 16

Damn my strength is high now, not as high as agility though, and with the bonus to physical stats from my title I back a punch... although my vitality is shitty and endurance isn't a lot better. If I can gain stat points like skills then I can just swim a marathon to up my endurance but how will I increase my vitality? Getting hit? I have it too low to try and I don't wanna get hurt. That's that, I guess. I also got a new skill, let's check it out then.

CURRENT SKILLS:

BLOOD SUCKING LEVEL 2

SWIM LEVEL 4

BITE LEVEL 2

CHARGE LEVEL 1

Not bad if I say so myself. With that Obsi resigned himself to endurance training and began to swim from the carcass to his cave.

The activity left him with time for his favourite pastime, thinking about random things.

Should I train skills as well? How would I do that? Just do the same with stats and use it for a while? I could do that. I also could look around more and see if there's anything dangerous around. There probably is. How would I fight them? Should I fight them? My health has a low cap so probably no. Oh right, I also have mana. It's disappointing I can't do anything with them. Oh hey! A rock. Fuck you rock.

*chomp*

Nice. Hmm, I swear a lot less lately. Is it because I'm a fish? Am I that scared of the ocean? Yes. Yes I am that scared of the ocean, fuck you ocean.

Obsi's thoughts continued to wander as he swam back and forth and on his sixth lap he was out of endurance.

YOU HAVE EXERTED YOURSELF

+1 ENDURANCE

So I can train my stats. Wouldn't it get harder to exert myself when I have higher stats?

As he thought that Obsi wiggled his way into his cave. I'm a caveman... cavefish? Settling in for the night he considered what to do next.

Should I aim for level 10? The fish here seem low leveled and if this is anything reasonable of a game like reality then I'll get less experience for killing lower leveled stuff. I guess I'll get to level 5 and see if I can take on the fastish fish swarm near the carcass' stomach.
