《A Curious Bird》4. Surprise
Advertisement
A mouse scurries around the ground searching for food and then it was pin to the ground. It looks up only see two pairs of eyes that it couldn't look away from and then found itself relax, uncaring, and unaware of its surroundings and the danger in front of it.
Aariv couldn't but sigh. This was the 30th mice he caught and use hypnosis on and it didn't level up from Lv. 5. He did level up three more times which was good. "Maybe I'm doing this wrong." He mutter. "Maybe I should hypnosis a mice and then unhypnosis them and repeat. Question is, how do I unhypnosis someone?" Aariv look at the mice and said, "You are not hypnosis anymore."
The mice seem to snap out of its trance, but it hard to tell for Aariv so he stops pinning it to the ground and the mice ran off.
[Hypnosis] - Lv. 5 ---> [Hypnosis] - Lv. 6
"Huh," Aariv said. "That work." He then shook his head. "That's still gonna take a long time. Most definitely because of the fact that the mice are low level and can be hypnosis easily." Something then caught his eye.
Crawling out of a cave was a feline which was the size of a person its claws were the size of a person's hands and its fur had electricity coursing through it. Aariv uses [Appraisal] on it.

"Eh," Aariv said, shocked. He then hears something hiss and turns to the noise. He turns to the noise and almost didn't saw it. A snake curling around a branch with chameleon features and was blending with the branch.

"Eh." Aariv then began to see monsters crawling out of caves, dens, and tree hollows. Aariv cast [Appraisal] on all of them and all of them were stronger than he could imagine.

"Fuck." Aariv curse as he flew toward his home, which was a tree hollow mark with an x, and hid in there. "Why the hell are there so many strong monsters here!" He said as he peeks out of his tree hollow. You could say that Aariv can wait till night time before going out, but he would be tired and he's not tired enough to sleep till night.
"Guess I should look for mice or horned rabbits to kill." Aariv mutter. Then an idea pops up in his head. "Wait I don't have to kill those monsters for gains like level-ups, I could try and use [Hynposis] to try and level it up!" He said. "But that still would be hard to do since [Hynposis] take time to activate. I should try to get more skills then."
"From what I can remember magic can be done by imagining something and focus mana onto one place from what I can remember...."
He then pauses. "So if I focus mana onto one spot and imagine ice...." Aariv closes his eyes as he concentrates imagining ice and draw mana into one spot. Why ice? Well, it's because he could use to freeze his enemies in place which allow him to use [Hypnosis] more easily. After a moment he opens his eyes, sweat running his feathers. "It's harder than I expected." He said. However, Aariv wasn't going to give up and try again. He imagines ice and tries to draw mana into one place. As he was doing it, he forms the ice into a ball, and then he felt cold air.

Aariv opens his eyes and saw a ball of ice floating in front of him. He drops the ball of ice and smile.
"Success."

Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.2
Technically abandoned. I will be reposting an updated version of the story one chapter at a time. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest. "Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation" It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers. Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars. All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art. Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you. This is the second version of this story, so feel free to check out the original and compare the two.
