*I only got that much experience? Maybe it was the level of those monsters, sigh*
That was so stupid of me to even think that I’ll kill those frogs easily. I’ll never do such a thing without calculating the enemy’s strength. I was lucky to be even saved by my adaptability skill. And I think I’ve figured out this skill, but I’m not that sure.
Thanks to my new abilities, my wounds are starting to heal little by little from [Body Regeneration] and thanks to [Auto MP Recovery] for the continuous usage of the regeneration ability.
“HAHAHA, I can’t believe I manage to survive.”
But I was expecting something like this to happen, but it’s so painful. My theory from my adaptability skill was, it will help me survive any condition as long as I will not die instantly. As the word say, to adapt, the process will not always be an instant skill of adaptation. But it’s slow, like when I gained Night Vision, and other skills. Then there would be the level, I’m guessing that like every other skill, it will be much stronger/ much faster to adapt as its level becomes higher. That was just my theory.

*hmmm haaaa*
I can now breathe normally, slowly moving around; I looked at the frog which has a large hole at its body. It’s seems like it only has one pair of eyes, and the other looking eyes are some kind of big skin pores. *so ugly* I gained its poison so there’s no point in eating a disgusting creature. My health was almost at half, but I think I can manage to find some prey, so I decided to go back to the forest.
I was lost, and wondering around with an empty stomach, but I somehow found rats similar to the ones I’ve fought when I was still a newt. It was an easy pray and some experience. Not being satisfied with the food, I hunt for some more pray.
“I wish I had a map of this place.”
It’s like I’m just going in circles.
[WARNING!!!] my threat sentient alarmed me for danger, I looked around but nothing was there. I looked up and nothing!! Just nothing. .
*chip* *chip* *chip*
It was a weak sound but I heard it clearly with my advance senses, I looked at the bushes and there was a pair of red eyes. My [Threat Sentient] was going crazy I took a step but, and the creature stepped out of the bushes.
*Dum* *dum* *dum*
Its steps were heavy; I was about to run very fast, but when I noticed its appearance. It was a huge fluffy bunny, with long large ears being it feet. *yup it was standing up with its long ears* by my [Threat Sentient] was telling me that the place was very dangerous.
I can’t hear anything aside from the bunny’s breathing, it was only just us? Why would it even be triggered by. .
*UUUKKKKRAAAAA!!!*
The large fluffy bunny suddenly changes its appearance from cute to a nightmare monster. Its fur becomes so black, claws were starting to immerge from its paws and a large gapping mouth that can even swallow me whole. With so much sharp teeth like a shark, but I’m sure that the shark would be jealous from this guy.

*shit*
I turned around and run away very quickly, but the nightmare bunny didn’t want me to escape and jumped in front of me so quickly.. *I’m getting confused, and I felt fear all over my body.*
*UUUUKKKKRRRAAA!!!*
*ding*
|Fear Nullification raised a level.|
The creature was very terrifying, black hollowed eyes with small red pupils but now, I can think straight. It seems like this creature can affect its prey to feel fear; I got confused for a second there. Gathering my new poison inside my mouth that I got from the frogs, I quickly spit it out to its big mouth.
*Tsuuu*
The creature screamed one more time, and slashes its claw to the incoming poison. The poison scattered around its arms, and it’s looking at me with a satisfied face. Its face was saying that –that saliva will never hurt me, something like that. *fuck you, you thought I was done?*
Using [Poison Alchemy] I combined the three poisons that I have, the one from the newt which will make the poison spread faster when it got injected into the blood, from the snake, that can paralyze the target, and from the frog that breaks anything into small molecules. These three poisons are deadly and have their own unique characteristics.
Gathering a mouthful of the combined poisons, I spit it out to the bunny which got slashed by its other claw. Another batch of poison got into its arms, and this time it felt it.
The bunny was slowly looking at its decaying arms. .
*UKRA* *UKRA*
It was having a hard time to move, the paralysis had affected his body, and less than 30 seconds it dropped dead into the ground.
“WHAHAHAH! I’m freaking strong.” I tried to speak but no words came out, only weird lizard noise.
*ding*
|Leveled up two times.|
I quickly bite off the arms that were rapidly decomposing *to prevent it from spreading*, and start to eat my lunch or was it dinner. *never mind, I’ll just enjoy some fresh meat.* the bunny was three times of my size, but I’m sure my stomach can handle it, because of [Gluttony].
“Ahhh what a tiresome day, better rest for a bit after this meal.”
-END-
Thank you for reading ^^. . .

The name of this simulation is The Shattered World Online. Eli Winters had no interest in playing it.

Eli had nothing but spite for his father and the game.

Let's Shine
So, first things first, this here is a magical girl thing. There are girls in it, they have magical abilities, fight supervillains (who have magical abilities, too, but in a more menacing way, like superpowers), and also do girly stuff. But it's not for children. Or at least not entirely. The idea is, it should be cute, but at the same time serious. Cute-serious, yeah… So, this is experimental for me. I'm planning to make short updates for as long as I can keep it up or until the plot resolves itself, whichever comes first. Most of all, I'm planning to not overthink or overedit things as much as I usually do, so there are bound to be mistakes and inconsistencies. I'll try my best to keep them to a minimum, though. But if you notice something, please feel free to tell me!
