Ch.3 So it actually begins.
A small lizard woke up.
their eyes were gleaming with an Intelligence only once before seen in their species, The life of that Individual had been extinguished just minutes before.
‘Wow, what a great nap.’, the lizard thinks. ‘Wait I think!’, they think.
‘Well that hasn’t happened before, but why, it’s pretty easy actually.’
“Absorbing of divine energy finished - Sapience achieved - Awakening achieved - access to System granted”
The lizard now realized what happens, they think it makes sense.

“Accept? (Y/N)”
The lizard didn't know what most of these meant, but they were interested in making allies and possibly even friends.
“Bonding proceeding - Approximation of duration: 1 hour”
They decided to wait out the hour, but what exactly it meant to be a “sapient monster” was still bothering them.

Night was starting to fall, so the lizard went back to their Hideout under a Rock, and as the air and they as well got colder the lizard fell asleep.

The next morning they were greeted by a System notification:
“Bonding Successful - Contact Initiated”
‘Finally, You’re awake again, I’ve been here all alone for hours’, A playful Voice speaks directly into the lizard's mind.
‘I’m Hungry, HUNGRY, HUNGRY! Come on, let’s get us some food, I’ll show you what I can do on the way, let’s go!’
The lizard wasn't sure what to think about their new companion.
‘I can hear that you know. But no need to apologize, no hard feelings…, what’s your name by the way, I’m Skill: [Lesser Hungering Flame], but you can call me Aiden.’
They’ve decided they like this new companion of theirs.
‘Thanks, now can we go get food?’
The lizard decided to go hunting.
As they scuttered to their usual hunting spot, they were further bombarded with conversation by their new companion.
‘What do you mean you don’t have a name, we are going to have to get you one, let me think.’
‘I can do really great things, you know, I can take your prey’s Skills and Traits and give them to you, you just have to burn the corpses. Did you know that you don’t have to eat anymore? I can do that for you, Isn’t that great?’
They indeed thought that was great and engaged in the first real conversation they've ever had.
‘I have a name for you.’
The lizard was curious.
‘How about Cinis’
Cinis liked that name.
Cinis had at this point arrived at their usual hunting spot, a field full of gooey balls. Slimes.
‘Slimes are fun, you can throw them around, can you throw them around? Please?’
Cinis decided to throw a few slimes around, Aiden wasn’t lying, it is fun to do.
‘Now let’s hunt.’
As slimes had been Cinis’s main source of sustenance for a long time, they already knew how to hunt slimes, however until now they could not hunt the pink ones, because they were the most slippery of the different kinds of slimes. Because of that they repelled Cinis’s claws attacks.
‘Can you let me out?, you just need to concentrate on me and I can make these pesky yellows go away, alright? Maybe we can even get their Physical Resistance?’

So Cinis concentrated on Aiden and let them out, Aiden manifested as a small black flame hovering in the air. As promised, they immediately went after a yellow slime, burning a hole into its outer layer, making fluids leak. Those Fluids, instead of extinguishing the little flame, were absorbed into the fire. Cinis felt their Hunger lessen.
As the two continued to hunt together, they had a lot of fun, although there were some difficulties with the red and gray slimes, as they were resistant to Fire and Dark Elements, both of which Aiden was made of, but Cinis was able to defeat them by slashing at them with their claws.
Over the course of the day Cinis got some notifications, however it was only after a few hours of hunting, that they looked at them.
“Level up (1) - 1 to all stats”
“Gained Skill [Lesser Blunt Force Resistance]”
This one they had probably gained after defeating a brown slime, they were especially bouncy. It was one of the ones they had played with at the very beginning of the hunt.
“Gained Skill: [Lesser Ice Resistance]”
Cinis remembered this one, they had killed and eaten a light blue slime, it was very easy, because it melted in close proximity to Aiden.
“Stats gained: 2 Constitution (CON); 1 Magic (MAG) ”
‘Ah, right, I haven’t told you yet, I can also give you some of the stats that the prey is most proficient in, awesome, is it not?’
Cinis encouraged Aiden, that it was awesome, but wanted to check their Status now.

‘Look, I’m stronger now, I’m going to be the strongest Flame in the Realms! But that will take a while.’
After this hunt the two of them decided to take a stroll through the forest.
‘Until Yesterday I have actually never been in a forest, I was locked up in a fortress in another realm, but luckily I was able to escape and meet you.’ Aiden conveys the feeling of a smile.
While Cinis was curious, they decided to wait until asking for more details. While they have not been aware of the world for long, they knew when to not ask further questions.
‘Thank you.’
As their walk in the forest continued they heard the sound of blades clashing in the distance. Both of them wanted to know what was happening, so they decided to rush in the direction of the sounds.
They arrived at the location of the fight, where they could see a group of tall figures wearing armor fighting against a group of primitive, small creatures that looked similar to the attackers, but with worse equipment and greenish brown, bumpy skin. These creatures were defending a cave.
A person, seemingly the leader, shouted something that Cinis did not understand, however Aiden was able to translate it into the weird kind of mind to mind communication they shared.
‘She said to eradicate the “Goblins”, that they are dangerous if left alone for a long time.’
That Battlecry seemed to infuse new morale into the attackers, as they continued the charge with more Valor than before.
As Cinis and Aiden continued to watch the battle, It seemed to come to an end. The Attackers looked like they were winning by a landslide. However, at that point a larger figure emerged from the cave, It looked like a larger and burlier version of these “Goblins”
The leader shouted something again, which Aiden translated as “I’ll handle the Chief!” Then she stepped forward and cut off the head of the creature with one swing. After a few more commands from her, the group enters the cave, leaving only a few to guard the entrance.
‘How about we eat the Goblins when they are all gone?’
Cinis approved of this plan and they waited for the group to leave.
