《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.

"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."

Transposed
Apparently, even heaven had the odd clerical error. Which was not something Nathaniel Miller would have expected, and yet, that seemed to be exactly what had happened to him. The collector of souls seemed to have been given the wrong address, and instead of taking one Nathaniel Miller of the earth apparently right next door, he took Nate. As recompense for this small bit of error Nate was placed in the body of the Nathaniel Miller that had supposed to have been taken in the first place, and seeing as he now had an opportunity to try to live his life a different way he planned on taking advantage of this chance.
