He arrived at the outskirt of the town. A monkey leaned against a tree, and Edith began inspecting the monkey. There were bite wounds all over its body, and some of them were deep. Blood had covered his orange fur.

What the hell happened to him?

A tiger’s roar echoed from the town along with human screams. Tigers. They must be the ones that caused its wounds.

“Ou… Ou…,” The monkey called him. Edith turned his head towards it.

The monkey waved its long arm at him. It was calling Edith to come closer.

“Do you want me to come closer?” Edith asked.

The monkey nodded and kept waving its arms.

“Wait? Y-you understand me?” He gasped.

The monkey nodded and rested its arm on its stomach. Edith flew towards it. The monkey gestured to the wounds on its chest.

“Wait! You want me to stab you?” Edith asked, and the monkey nodded. He asked again, “Are you sure?”

“Ou…,” The monkey spoke in a weak tone.

Edith lowered his head and sighed, “Okay.”

He flew above the monkey and pushed his claw in its wounds, and a dagger manifested. It stabbed the monkey's heart. The monkey let out a weak howl. Then, its body glowed and disappeared.

The stat window rang. Don't need to open, if it has notified me. The monkey didn't drop any items. Well, at least I can transform into it. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Edith flapped his wings and flew towards the source of the sound. He arrived at the location and landed on top of a house. A steak of tigers had cornered four players.

One of the tigers jumped at the person in the front. They struggled, but the player lost, and the tiger began consuming him. The others watched in fear.

“S-Stay back!” The person in the middle shouted with fear in his eyes.

A tiger jumped at him and bit his neck. The tiger mowed him as he cried for help.

The other two tried to climb the wall behind them. Wait! Don't do that!

Two tigers jumped on them and bit their legs. The players let out a scream as the tigers dragged them from the wall. All three players screamed as the tigers began devouring them. After that, their bodies glowed, and they dropped items.

The items were a book and several lumps of meat. The tiger turned their attention to Edith and walked towards him. Edith hurried to the items.

He stored the items and fled to a tree. Edith landed on a branch, “Status.”

The stat window popped out and inspected the content of the book. The hell! evolve player's current ability? Then, that means I can upgrade my skill.

The tigers roared at him. He closed the window. The tigers were circling the tree. One of them jumped at the tree but realised it couldn't climb. He let go of the tree and continued to circle the tree.

Now how do I get one of them? Will poison work? If so, then I need to be faster when transforming.

Edith aimed at the tiger who was behind the pack. He readied himself and propelled toward the tiger. His body glowed and transformed into a snake.

He bit the tiger's neck, pushed himself away from it and transformed into a bird and flew away. He hovered above the tiger.

The tiger was beginning to weaken, his legs failed him, and his body fell to the ground. He was breathing faster, and with one big breath, his body glowed, and he dropped a single item, and that was a slice of meat. The stat window rang and notified him.

“One down, three to go.” Edith scanned his surroundings. A large rock, and a fallen branch, caught his attention.

He flew towards the large rock and transformed himself into a monkey. I thought the rock was big, maybe it’s just a matter of perception.

Edith carried the rock. There were also several rocks laid there. He took them and climbed the tree.

The tigers rushed towards his tree. Edith aimed the rock at the tigers and threw it at them. The tigers dodged them with ease.

“Okay, new plan. The branch.”

He turned himself into a bird, flew towards the branch, and transformed himself into a monkey. The tigers raced towards him.

“Alright, come closer.”

One of them jumped at him. He swung the branch as hard as he could. The branch hit the tiger and pushed it to the ground.

One of its friends tried to jump on him. Edith dropped the branch, transformed into a bird, and dodged it.

He transformed into his human form, summoned two daggers and plunged the red dagger at the tiger’s head, killing it.

The tiger who got hit by the branch tried to attack him again. Another tiger tried to jump on him from behind.

He turned into a monkey, used his feet to carry the daggers and jumped on a tree above him. His hand grabbed the tree branch, and he dangled from it

Both tigers crashed into one another and became dizzy. He released his hands from the branch, flipped the dagger to the air, grabbed them and stabbed the dagger into their heads.

He removed the dagger from their heads. His stat window rang, but he didn’t open it. Edith let out a sigh of relief.

He turned around and saw that the barrier was coming in his direction.

There’s no need for me to be here. Edith turned himself into a bird, and before he could fly away, his eyes caught something that emerged from the ground, and it was a black mole rat.

Lucky me. He flew towards it and changed himself into a tiger. He bit the mole rat, and its body began glowing up. His stat window rang, and the mole rat disappeared from his mouth.

Alright, time to go. He changed into the bird and flew away.

Edith opened his stat window and slid to the left to look at the map. He headed towards the town that was near the church.

Players will go toward the church. He sighed and complained. Hopefully, that woman died. I don't want to see her again.
