《The Tale of a Fenrir》Walk down the path of slaughter?
Advertisement
That was a good nap.
Wait. Wasn't there a System that was trying to bond to me?
I looked around me, but I didn't see a blue screen float anywhere.
Huff. That was all just a dream. On second thought, it would be very cool to have a System of some kind in this unknown world.
I have read enough novels in my previous life, where the Protagonist gets a overpowered System and had missions like: Sit on a couch to gain 100000 exp.
It really bothered that some Mcs just had everything handed to them without any hardships.
But, I would be the last one to complain, if I myself got such a system
I could say "Open Status" and could assign all my skill points to strength and...
Booom!!!
I would be the strongest being in the universe!!!
HOST HAS OPENED THE DEVOURER SYSTEM.
STATUS WILL BE SHOWN.
STATUS:
NAME: ZACK
LEVEL: 1 (0/100 EXP)
SPECIES: MUDI DOG
PHASE: CUB
TITLES: NONE
HEIGHT:15 CM
WEIGHT: 4 Kg
HEALTH: 10 HP
STRENGTH: 1
AGILITY: 1
ENDURANCE:1
DEFENCE:1
INTELLIGENCE: 7
SKILLS: BITE (LV 1), SCRATCH (LV 1)
That wasn't just a dream!?!
Devourer System?
Do I just need to eat to level up and get skill points?
Yeah, that would be cool. I can just relax and eat the whole day and simultaneously become stronger.
SYSTEM FEELS THE NEED TO CORRECT HOST.
YOU WON'T LEVEL UP FROM JUST EATING. HOST NEEDS TO KILL LIFE FORMS AND THEN EAT THEM.
So, I have to walk down the path of slaughtering everything?
YES.
Do I need to level up?
YES, IF HOST DOESN'T TRY TO LEVEL UP AND GAIN SKILLS THE SYSTEM WILL OBLITERATE YOU.
So I don't have a choice?
What can do? I just have to accept it.

So System I will try to level up, but first I have several questions.
First,what determides how much exp, I gain when killing something?
Their strength??
THE EXPERIENCE WILL BE GIVEN BASED ON THE INTELLIGENCE AND POWER OF THE BEINGS YOU KILL.
Then why didn't I have to kill something to get the system?
THE ONE WHO CREATED ME DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT TOO HARD FOR HOST TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM.
Why did he do that? Shouldn't the conditions to activate the system be something special?
HOST, MY CREATOR ISN'T A SADIST. HE JUST WANTS SOME ENTERTAINMENT.
Yeah, that makes sense. Ahhhh why didn't I think of sich a obvious answer?
Anyway, moving on to the next question?
On what are my stat values based on? Is 1 maybe, the average stat of a human?
HOST, IF THAT WAS THE CASE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A STAT VALUE OF 7 IN INTELLIGENCE.
I MEAN YOU ARE AT BEST A 0,9 IF I USED THE HUMAN AVERAGE.
Ok, I get it, but there is no need to be so savage.
I understand, that I am nothung special, but there sure is a way to make it sound more nicely.
Then, what are the values based on?
THEY ARE BASED ON THE AVERAGE STATS OF A MUDI(DOG SPECIES) CUB. IN COMPARISON TO THEM, YOU ARE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I don't think I should be proud of that.
Anyway, I should begin to level up. But, there is one problem... I don't have anything to kill in here!!!
I also don't see a way to escape this damm place and start my epic adventure.
Mmmmm, I should just sleep.
As a famous philosopher onve said:" If you have a problem Sleep. After that you will know the answer.
HOST, ACCORDING TO MY DATABASE THERE WAS NEVER A PHILOSOPHER ON YOUR HOMEPLANET THAT SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Nobody asked you. Just shut up.
I will sleep now and maybe the problem will solve itself.
I really hope so....
The next day:
One could see a fancy carriage on a crowded street. Inside was a boy that was roughly 13 years old. He seems to be in deep thought.
Pov Leon:
Huh, today's the day, I am going to get my pet dog.
I didn't want a pet at first, but my mother convinced me to try it.
These days it was very popular for children of the upper classes to have some kind of rare or expensive pet.
Often some of my friends would even compete with other kinds who's pet was the most expensive and talented one.
I find such competitions, a waste of time. But, my mother thinks otherwise and sees this as a way to increase our social standpoint
I really love my mother, but she worries too much about what other think about her.
Suddenly I hear the voice of my carriage driver and come back into reality.
"Master Leon, we have arrived."
I look at the white building and can't not find it impressive how gigantic it is.
This is a place where most of the pets for noble children like me are breed.
They have a good reputation and nobody was ever disappointed with the animal they got from here.
I get out of the carriage and go to the entrance of the facility.
This is going to be a long day.

Reborn Into My Novel
What if you lived in the world of your own creation? As fate would have it, our dear amateur novelist, Ellie, was reborn into the world of her fantasy novel after falling asleep at her computer. Bewildered as she was, the first person that she met was the protagonist of her novel. To add salt to the wound, it was right before the tragedy that decimated his village as per his backstory. Will Ellie save the village (and herself) to risk changing the fundamentals of her novel? Will she instead let the story run its course and leave everyone in the village to their deaths? Disclaimer: This novel is a work in progress and will be updated hopefully at least once a week. Expect minor mistakes (maybe some typos and punctuation errors) since this is the very first draft. The author suffers from perfectionism and impostor syndrome and therefore attempts to use this as sort of a therapy to break away from perfectionism and self doubt. Basically, the author employs a “I don’t care anymore and screw this trash work” mindset just to get stuff rolling and not set any expectations. Basically, basically, the author just wants to write something and not care about planning and quality and all those nice things about writing a GOOD novel since it’s counterproductive. Kthxbye. ps: Thanks for even reading this trash work pps: You’re not trash for reading this trash work btw ppps: Thanks I love y’all so much Shout out!
