Alone in the forest, Reve patiently hid in a nearby bush as he stalked a blue slime.

The slime couldn't see him. It was busy eating its dead prey.

Watching this, Reve smiled. That was what he wanted.

The bluish glean on the slime's jelly body intensified, a sign that it was about to finish digesting his prey.

It was time!

Out of nowhere, Reve jumped out and used his innate speed to catch the slime by surprise.

He raised his claw and slashed at his prey.

*Shui!*

His claw went through like a hot knife through butter.

Reve mercilessly tore out the slime core and the slime died.

As a custom, he swallowed the core and climbed on top of a tree to rest.

The Nixy window popped up in front of him.

Notice: You have eaten a Lv.9 Slime Core. Constitution has been increased by 0.2.

" Can life be sadder? Meow, improvements are hard to get nowadays," sighed Reve.

He had been in this place for half a year now. Yes, half a year.

It might seem too long but it was quick for a cat with a distorted sense of time.

Strictly speaking, it had been four months since he had last seen humans.

Their encounter gave him a rude awakening which forced him to delve more into this world.

It was not without merits as he had finally read through the entire bookshelf of Mr.Owner.

Now, he was a certified Arcadian. He knew the general knowledge of the people of Arcadia.

As Reve went into deep thoughts, another Nixy window popped up.

Notice: Detecting additional foreign nutrients. Some of your attributes are undergoing growth.

There was one thing he liked about this world, it was full of life.

The energy that flowed through all living beings was quite special. It facilitated growth and development, both mentally and physically.

For instance, Reve was now stronger than most wild animals on Earth.

His mere claws could leave a lasting mark on metals.

Yet, he didn't look it.

He still had the appearance of a cute cat emperor, not a buffed lion.

This furthered his aspirations returning back to Earth. The idiots there would worship him should they notice his uniqueness.

Anyway, as he was saying, he had already adjusted to the system of the world.

Notice: Increase in raw power/exp. Levelling Up.

Name: Reve

Race: White Arcadian Cat

Level(exp): 10 (10/10)

Titles: #######, Deviant, First Kind, Slime Killer

AP: 35

[Attributes]:

[Skills]:

Attributes' Nixy Window

Strength: 8

Speed: 16

Constitution: 9

Intelligence: 20

Even Nixy acknowledged his increase in strength.

Unfortunately, he seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

To be more accurate, a bottleneck was forced on him.

How did he know that?

Simple, he had achieved the requirement to advance to Lv.11 but he just couldn't.

This was quite strange as nothing should be required.

Luckily, he knew why he was being forced to stop.

He had to achieve a specific skill, [Energy Sense].

It was the ability to perceive the flamboyant energy of the world.

When he does that, Nixy would remove the limit she fixated on him.

It made him aware that they would be similar stopgaps at the end of each ten levels.

Level 1-10. Level 11-20. Level 21-30…..all the way to Lv.50.

It was Nixy's way of classifying levels.

In a way, it was part of the Nixy Practice. It led one to the most effective way to gain strength.

However, attaining the skill was easier said than done.

Even the adventurers he met couldn't do that. That was why they were weak.

Yet, once they surpassed the level cap, they would wield terrifying strength…..or so he read.

As for Reve, he knew he shouldn't leave his territory till he surpassed Lv.10.

The last time he ventured out, he was heavily injured by a wild hog!

Also, there was something strange going on outside his territory. Multiple magical beasts' corpses were piling up. Each one of them savagely ravaged, enough to give even the normally cool him the chills.

It was like a war was going on there.

He decided to never leave his territory until he had acquired sufficient strength.

Nonetheless, he had a self-given mission.

After reading Mr.Owner's book, he realized that there were other outposts on the island. Some of them might have belonged to him. While the others were for his colleagues.

Ultimately, they were home to rare information. Reve couldn't ignore that. He needed to get his paws on anything he could get.

Hence, he had been scouting outside his territory for the closest outpost. It was owned by Mr.Owner so Reve knew its location, but he couldn't successfully get there due to the dangers involved.

His next objective after raising his strength would be to see what he can scavenge from that place.

...…..

After he was done absorbing the slime core, Rev got down from the tree and walked around.

Within minutes, he found himself at his favorite lake.

Reve dived into the lake and enjoyed the cool water.

The last time he was here, he encountered a snake that tried to get a bite of his juicy meat.

Luckily, his senses were sharp enough to alert him of his possible death.

After much struggle, he killed the snake and took possession of the lake.

Now, he could come here anytime he wanted. It was his own personal relaxation spot.

Reve let the water carry him as he began to plan, "Hmmmm….what do I do? What should I do? I can't do much. However, I can keep raising my attributes. Everything else would come smoothly. Also, I should complete the appraisal requirements."

He was a magical beast, part of a race which was said to easily attain [Energy Sense].

It would come to him when he was ready.

...…..
