Author's Spot: Ladies and Gentlemen!

I am here to say that if you think that this is a rip off of Re:ham I am saying it again. IT IS NOT A RIP OFF! This is an idea I had and I just USED the base system Re:ham uses... Jorm let me use it and he likes the story as well since it is completely DIFFERENT from his!

I will not continue this blablabla... Well, sorry if I made it look like I am saying bad things but it is because I was reading the reviews and got a person that said it was a rip off of re:ham...

Sorry if I made you guys worry. I'll not be dropping it! And I was planning to wait more before posting the chapter, but since I got mad I am doing it now.

Have a funny ferret read!

[table=brown]And please, tell me, why do you continue to use your ferret form to hunt if you can now use your ‘human’ form?[/table]

‘It is simple… My ‘human form is ugly like shit and I think I don’t have enough power to kill things in that form! But yeah, I could make weapons but no! If one of that green thing appear again… I will it without thinking!’ I thought talking to the screen. And now I am a fully matured ferret! Six months old! And now I am big like a medium dog! 70cm tall! And I had to ran away three times… two time because of females ferrets and one when I found a female goblin that was looking for me… And at that I had such a good feast before my eyes! The meat I wasted because I ran away… But I don’t care! I have used my time to increase the quality of my summon. I can now call three cats! It was good point to jump after that stupid rat thing… they weren’t powerful enough to caught prey on their own to help me. But the cats are different, they can get small rats and once in awhile rabbits and the pointy rabbit, as I call them. Until now I didn’t really tried to hunt wolves on my own, so I am stuck on lvl 20… and it looks like I need to start hunting the wolves to get a little more tricks in this body of mine… so let’s hunt them in my human form. After I get to make some weapons to me.

I got some stones I have found near a cave and start to chip them. I want a cutting edge on this things, the ones I have seen with the goblins didn’t have this kind of edge. They were just more slim than a chipped cutting weapon made by stones. I worked in my human form as I could take the stone with one hand and make the weapon. It took me two days, but I finished it! A great axe! Or not, it is just a stone axe. I can use it in one hand and let’s prepare something to defend myself from the bites. I will probably be using a shiel… ‘Wait! I have a better idea!’ I thought before running inside the cave and gather smalls stones that would be big enough to be used. I gathered 50 of them. They were elongated and normally oval like.

With my claws I try to cut the point I wanted. It was amusing to see my claws, with the skill, cutting through the hard stone. I was making arrows head! I’m going to use my high dexterity to use a bow or probably to throw this things on my enemies. With my strength I may be able to shoot them with two or three arrows. And I used two more days to finish the arrows. I had made my cat hunt for feathers and after they killed a bird I got a new level! 21! Finally leveled up! Ok, I prepared the arrows, now I need to make the bow! Let’s look for some good tree to gather the wood!

And two days I didn’t found any good tree!!! I should have made some daggers to throw… let’s go back to the project room! Or the said cave, but before let’s see what I can do with the arrows I have. So in my human form I try to hit a pointy rabbit throwing one of the arrows with my hand. It flew really fast and pierced the body of the rabbit. I was left dumbfounded, I didn’t expect to be able that the arrows would have such a power if I use all my strength… now let’s make the daggers… I eat the rabbit before going to the cave again. I had to gather bigger stones to throw. I needed to make them perfectly well made to be able to throw them. So I made the handle a little more longer than needed to make the weight be divided equally. 15 daggers in two days and today would be the day I was going to hunt wolves!

I jump and fly a little to get on the spot I could see one or other wolf pass. I don’t need to kill all the pack, I just need to kill one or two to be able to rest assured that I would have sufficient meat to eat until the next hunt. Well I could kill the pack since the inventory make the thing I put there to fresh when I take it out in the future, but I can’t feel the same taste… it loses a little of the ‘fresh’ taste of blood.

Well, I will kill all of them anyway. I should be able to sell the meat at some town once I get there… but living in the woods for a long time is not that good. But what can I say… it is needed. So let’s hunt! I waited in my hideout in my ferret form waiting for the wolves that would appear in few hours. The three cats I can summons was already near me resting in their respectives positions.

It was the twilight when the first sounds of wolves started to get closer so I squeak to the cats to be prepared to engage in battle as soon they appear. I had tensed my muscle when I heard the first paw hitting the ground near us and with a nod the cats jump on the back of the wolf clawing all the parts they could. One of them cut its nose and one of the eyes. The others clawed its back and sides. I change to my human form and jumping down I throw one of the stone daggers. It hit the side of the wolf body cutting its lung and piercing the heart. It wimped when the daggers allocated itself in that place. The sound was loud and I could see hear others wolves getting closer. I open my wings and fly back to the tree. The cats just jumped out of the way entering a bush near the corpse. It was when five others wolves appeared. I look at them sniffling the body of the fallen comrade and trying to locate the things that have ‘killed’ it.

The wolf have not died yet but it was weak but it was dying fast because every time its heart beats the daggers open the wound and more blood rush out from it. I get a new dagger and with a swift movement I throw it down to try to hit a wolf’s head that was looking at my cats hiding place.

The dagger flew silently and it didn’t landed on the head it landed on the wolf’s neck piercing its airpipe. It falls in the ground and the others wolves look at it. I grin looking at them. The daggers I made were truly effective against them if they can’t see me. I shoot a few more but two wolves have to walk at the same moment I had thrown… it was when they spotted my hideout, but I had already killed three of their companions. I jump from the tree and kicking the tree to go down and using my claw skill I jump swang it on the wolf’s head.

It jumped away, but I got a piece of its nose and it was when my cats jumped to aid me. They clawed the surprised wolf on the eyes or on the legs to make it unstable I use that chance to hit it with my stone axe. It dodges tilting its neck but seeing that action I take one dagger out of my inventory and twisting my wrist I send it flying to its head impaling it and piercing the brain. ‘Two wolves left.’ I thought and looked at them. They were growling at me and to my felines friends.

I throw some of the daggers at them they jump out of the way. I charge to the one that was on the right and my cats go to the one on the left. Without wasting time I take another dagger and when I was getting close I use my wings to accelerate my body and without stopping I pierce its neck with my dagger and slam my axe on its head.

I look at the cats and find that they were fighting better than what I had thought. They weren’t getting hit by the raging wolf. But the would harass it attacking him together from differents positions, one would go from the rear and the others would attack from the side. Seeing that he had forget me I fly up and use my wings to accelerate my landing. The air was screaming in my ears but I didn’t stopped. I continued to drop and when I was near the ground I twisted my body slamming my feet on its back making it explode, but before I get damaged I roll forward using my skill to kill the momentum. It is than that I four level up windows.

I gather the wolves corpses and putting them in my inventory I run to my new base. It was a bigger burrow then before. Since I had become bigger I needed to create bigger holes and now that I can be human again I have made the interior bigger as well. And now I put my hunt down before taking out the daggers of their bodies and start to skin them. It took me some time to skin them properly and to not waste their freshness I skinned one at a time, the last one was the one I had made explode with my drop kick… I couldn’t use his hide so I just skinned it and eat its meat after roasting it over a fire I had made on the back of my burrow.

I was going to sleep and then I thought it was time to upgrade the Humanification skill, so I used 30 points to buy the look upgrade. I go to the bucket I had and look over my face. It was less ugly and now I lost my ferret like face but it maintained the fur around my face and it was small too. My hair was at the same color as my fur a murky white color and the black crown was there in the middle of my hair making it looks like it changed color at that point. My body was now nearly 180 cm tall, my limbs were now normal like and my D is a little too small… probably because I didn’t get out of the ferret like appearance, I just got a little more human like. My tail was there as well, and above my head my ferret ears was poking out. I had an urge to pet that ears, they looked fluffy, but my own face discouraged my idea. I shrug it off and go to sleep in my ferret form it is good to sleep like that.

Here I am again! A full seven months ferret kit and what can I say is that I leveled up a little to lvl 28 just hunting two or three packs of wolf a day!! And today I found a carriage walking through the woods I am currently live and I have been following it for a day and discovered that a city is located a few days walk going to the west! But what can I do if I had just explored the north, from where I came and the east a few days ago, and with my speed I really don't travel that fast and I need to stop once awhile to eat to not make lose too much my stamina.

‘Let's kill the six guards and the person inside the carriage to steal the clothes and weapons! And probably level up a little more!’ I thought to myself while I follow them using the trees as a cover. But what can I say… The guards are skilled but I can't see who is inside. Probably some sort of merchant or important person with a quiet mission to increase his selling area.

I look at them until night fall and they would prepare the camping to pass the night. I had increased the grade of my familiar summon and I got snakes! They are really big and they can kill a wolf on their own! The quality have jumped, and they are really fast to kill too. They just need to get around the neck of their prey and they will start to crush it with their body. It was quite a sight see them kill three wolves on their own this morning and this afternoon. I had killed the other 3 of the two packs we crossed ways. And luckily the guards didn't get to hear us or they would feel that they were crazy to see a 70 cm ferret killing wolves with the help of some serpents.

I ate a wolf today. The meat was normal now, but I could wait to kill the humans. They would give me good experience! Just look at the way they walk and the way the use their weapons! It is really good! I observed they during all day except when I needed to kill a pack of wolves or to do the work of nature. But their peculiar smell let me trace them easily through the forest.

I waited for them to change turns during night to start my attack. Summoning the snakes and with a low squeak I send them to kill the sleeping guards. They had been on guard duty since the sky darkened so they are pretty tired and the others have already started their rounds. I had killed the wolves that would find them this night and I didn't get any new level… It depressed me… but they were more relaxed now that they hadn't found a single dangerous situation since they found me. So their guard were not that high.

Without waiting the three serpents walks their way to the sleeping guards and with their death grip they start to crush their neck. I made sure that they were biting their lips to seal the sound they were going to make sure that they would not scream while they die. And it proved to be correct to make them to that because once the humans understood what was happening they would struggle and try to claw the snakes away. I killed the last one that was sleeping beside the other three. I pierced his eyes using my claw skill and my own strength reaching his brain with just one motion. He died without making any new sound.

Four killed, two to go. I grin when a window appear in my vision.

[table=brown]You gained a level!You gained 7 points to use in skills and status.[/table]

‘Level 29! Finally! Just one more and I will be at 30! And then I will be powerful enough to start hunting monster!!! The animals here give less experience than monster do in the corrupted area inside forests, caves and other parts. And if I am lucky enough I can discover a dungeon to help me level up! But if I think… I AM MONSTER TOO!!! I am a corrupted ferret! So it make me a monster!’

I put away my thought and looking at the dead humans I nod to my snakes. It is time to HUNT humans that are awake and they are fated to scream while dying. So I need a good plan to attack them. I dismiss my summon and I jump high enough and unfold my wings. I look around and find the two awakes soldiers sitting right before the carriage and they would walk around it after 5 or ten minutes. It could be said this is a routine and as the guards had been sleeping in a tent they haven’t seen what I did to their comrades. I grin and land right on the ceiling of the carriage. I did it soundless as I was able. Now I don’t land face first, I land normally. Going back to the topic I resummon my snakes and tell them to try kill the awake humans in a way that they will not alert the people that are sleeping inside this wood cube.

With a nod the three snakes go to the ground and slowly they approach the humans. They were sitting and were talking about something that I didn’t pay attention. I was expecting the snakes to attack as soon they got on their spot, but they waited. And the humans did walked around the carriage. ‘Cunning beasts!’ I thought looking at what they have did. They really are true predators, waiting for the best opportunity to kill.

Without a sound the three snakes ‘jump’ at the humans' throat with their death grip and with a sound they broke the neck in a fast movement. The humans didn’t had time to shout as they died. I grin at their ferocity, my little killing machines are truly good.

[table=brown]You gained a level!You gained 7 points to use in skills and status.[/table]

YES!!! Level 30!!! And without waiting I fastly use the status points in my vitality, dexterity, intelligence and wisdom. I didn’t like them to be so low if I looked at my Agi and Str.

I didn’t use buy any skill now as I will not be able to use them all. And as I am need to upgrade my humanification skill and some others… but now, this is not needed. I glide down to look inside the box. What I see is a ‘princess’ with two maids. She was sleeping in a bed while the maids were sitting in seats beside the bed. One was them was clearly awake and the other was sleeping heavily. ‘But it is really bright inside the carriage…’ I thought looking around just to find that the awake maid had a strange small ball of light in her hands.

Before entering I look all around me… I have killed her escort without a second thought… ‘Shit… what did I do! And the women will not be able to live here alone… this place is dangerous… should I ‘protect them? Should I show myself?’ I was thinking and I was preparing to go up again when the awake maid looked at me… me furry face looking at her and I could see a strange light in her eyes.

Without wasting time I get down and fly to the dead soldier tent. I needed to loot them before she get to scream and awake the others. They would be too scared to get out and will think that someone killed them. Let’s pray for that. I loot the four bodies in the tent taking the weapons they have left near their sleeping place and their armors were there as well. I loot that too. It will be useful in the future. I look around and find a shortbow and three quivers with arrows. ‘They are going to be useful.’ I think to myself before getting them as well. It is when I heard a scream it was short and loud…

“They don’t know that is not good to scream in the middle of a forest during the night?” I squeak shaking my head. Without a second thought I summon my snakes and make them protect the girls. I know what I did… I am feeling that my heart is heavy… and that I am hungry. I take out a piece of wolf meat from my inventory, this one is smoked and did not taste so good but it is edible.

I eat the faster I can before peeking out. The one that had shouted was the ‘princess’ and she had fainted and her two aides are bringing her back to the carriage.

I sneakily walk to the door and hear what they are saying.

“Princess Alice. Stay here. I will protect you with my life! I promised that I would help you create peace at our kingdom once more. We are going to stop this war!” One of the maids says.

“We are here to protect you! We will not let any harm go your way!” The second one said. I was hiding right near the door and they were not seeing me… how it was possible… I don’t know, but let’s leave it like this.

“And what you said you had seen, Luanna?” The first maid voice appeared again. So the one who had seen me was the Luanna maid… I think she was wearing glasses… but I’m not sure about it.

“I said I was looking at the princess face, but then I felt that something was looking at me, so I looked to the window and found two glowing eyes looking at us! it was creepy!” ‘I am not creepy! I am fluffy!’ I wanted to say, but… well… let’s just hear her story. “It was when I tried to awake you to help me look outside, but you awake the princess as well! And look at what you did! Stupid Maria!”

“‘I think you are the one to blame.’” I thought and Maria said that aloud… I wanted to look inside but… if they see me it will be a great commotion.

“Silence you two! I had a strange dream… you two wake me up and…”

““Princess!”” The two maids stop their discussion and the wagon shakes a little. “”I am so glad that you are awake!”” I want to see!!! This type of thing! My male human blood, that I don’t have, want to see!!!

“Wait! Look where we are. Now, tell me. Why are we all awake and why the door is open?” Princess Alice said. Her voice was a little troubled. She probably had thought she was dreaming and now she sees that it was not a dream. “Don’t tell me… the guards that should be there… a-are…” Her voice is cracking!!! ‘I knew it! She is going to break! Someone! Knock her out!!!’ I was thinking but it was when a snake come to me and with its tail it pointed to where it had come from.

“Well, looks like something is going to die today because of my mistake!” I run after the snake. The women will probably be able to hand what is trying to kill them.

I go the place and what I find is some bandits.

“Hey, did you hear that a princess came here to stop some kind of war?” I hear one of them laughing at what he said.

“Yeah, I heard it too! And it looks like she is kinda a beauty!” This pervert!!! She is a beauty though… But you are not going to touch her! I’ll protect her until she is safe!

I don’t change to my human shape since this one is easier to be lost in the dark. I am smaller than them and they are not using too much armor anyway. I smelled leather with some small pieces of metal. But just one that is really using metal. He is probably the boss.

“You guys! Be quiet! What would you do if someone hear us?!” The boss said. He has some brain to be able to think about being heard.

“Don’t make a fuss boss! They will not see us coming!” Someone said. I wanted to see how much people were so without stopping I run to a tree and kicking the ground I lift my body while I unfold my wings.

I land in one branch and what I see make me gasp for air. 20 bandits, all of them armed with swords, bows, lances and some others weapons. ‘How can I alone with 3 snakes kill all of them before they reach the carriage?’ I thought to myself, but luckily the screen answered my monotone.

[table=brown]I would recommend this skill. It may look like it is weak, but the massive damage it can create will help you.[/table]

[table=brown]Mana ArrowsCost: 5This skill can create mana arrows using your mana. The amount of arrows you can create will increase as you upgrade the skill and at higher levels, or with learning appropriate skills, it will become possible to change the arrows' element.Number of arrows: 2Available Elements: Raw Mana[/table]

‘And why didn’t I buy this before?’ I think buying the skill and upgrading to be able to shoot 20 arrows at the same time. I used 20 points in total, but it was worth! And the skill don’t have cooldown! I can make rains arrows! Literally!

I grin and start to fly my way to the bandits. When I get right up them I make the 20 arrows appear and rain down at them. I didn’t stop summoning them and for nearly two minutes I hear screams and angry shouts. The attack power is small, but the quantity pay for the quality!

I look down and find just a few people alive. And the only one that had received the less damage was the boss. ‘Dammit, that armor protected him too well!’ I think, but looking better at it I find some weak points where the arrows have pierced through it. My grin widens and I drop myself going straight to the boss. The dark night in the forest helped to hid my body. I sent 20 arrows flying over his way.

He blocks some with his weapon, others had pierced his body, but what I really want was the opening it would create and with a movement I extent my claws and make it pierce through his eyes. I know… I use that too much, but it is the best way to kill things! And if they are alive they would be blind!

I reach its brain and without holding back more arrows fly to him. I make them all pierce his head. He looked like a hedgehog for a few seconds until the arrows fade away. I kick his lifeless body and looking over the place I found that just two lucky guy are barely alive.

I use my humanification skill to be able to talk to them. “My! Look at what we have here!” And without waiting them answer I take out a guard sword and with it I start to stab their bodies until they die. But I didn’t attacked their most precious organs… I wanted to make them suffer a little. And when they died I see three small windows on the corner of my vision.

‘What the fuck?!’ I shouted in my mind while I returned to my ferret form. I shake my head and loot the thieves. I fly back to the girls camp after that just to find that the door had been closed and the corpses had been moved. But I could hear and smell that they were inside the carriage. ‘Well… let’s eat and leave them some wolf meat as a sorry.’ I ate a portion of raw wolf meat and I left some uncooked wolf meat on their door and knocked it before running away. It was clear that they would not touch it, but for now I’ll protect them… Yawning I let the snakes doing the patrol, I am tired… the first time I used magic and it was this tiring!
