《I'll be happy as a monster》Chapter 2 : Food and Level
Advertisement
Hit by light from outside, my eyes opened.
I yawned and stretch my stiff body.
After sleeping, my wounds have close and scabbed.
As expected of a beast, albeit still a cub, I have quite the recovery ability.
But, although my wounds have closed, my HP still not recovering.
My stamina only recovered to half after a whole night sleep.
Well, I did almost used up all my stamina yesterday And my stomach rumbled incessantly.
I guess, I would recover after eating something.
Now that I thought about it, I hadn't eat anything from yesterday.
Today, I got to search for food, or else I'm gonna starve.
But first, I need to allocated my points.

Oh~ I'm level 5!
That was fast.
Was the rat that I defeated yesterday actually pretty strong? Or was it that I'm just too weak, so I leveled up faster?
No matter, my level increasing fast was a good thing. With this my road to OPness didn't look so hazardous anymore.
Yosh, target for today was to search for food and try to level up as much as possible!
To did that, I need to allocated my stats carefully.
Hmm... What to do with this 14 points?
my first thought was to upgrade my def first, as long as I could endure my enemy attack, I should be able to burned them to ash with pyrokinesis.
Okay then, let's use 7 points for def!
Now, what I'm going to choose for offense? Physical or magic?
Let's go with physical, since I didn't have magic and my magic stat was lower than my atk stat, I should go for physical attack. And I personally liked the image of beating my enemy with raw power than magic.
Then for the other 7 points, I used 2 for atk, to make my attack stronger.
3 for agl, so I could dodge more easily.
1 each for dex and HP, dex for aim and HP for making me a better tank.
Yosh, My stats was looking better!

With this, I'm sure I could beat that rat a lot easier.
As for the spider, If I could dodge it's web attack and burned it's nest with it along, it should end as a victory for me.
Finishing my stats distribution, I head out from the hole while paying attention at my surrounding.
I need to be wary at all time to survive here, I didn't want to die without knowing what hit me.
I strolled the woods, I tried not to make any noise as I walked and I walked near bushes so I could hide anytime.
After a hour of walking, I found an apple tree.
Albeit hard and falling a few times, I managed to climb the tree and obtained an apple.
Before I took a bite, I appraised the apple. Just to make sure what I ate was a real apple or some thing else.
The result was an apple, the same as the rat and spider, only it's name appeared. I need to raise my appraising skill level.
After eating a couple of apples, My stomach felt full. And my stamina fully recovered too, but my HP still haven't recovered.
With full stomach, I went down the tree and walked to search for enemy.
In my walk, I appraised everything I could see, whether it's a stone or leaf. Thankfully the appraise skill didn't use MP or stamina, so I could use it without care.
After appraising things about a hundred or so times, my appraise skill leveled up!
"Appraise skill leveled up!"
"You can now see description for things you appraise."
I tried appraising a rock and beneath the name there was a string of words.
Rock
Just a normal rock.
Yosh, it worked!
I appraise the bushes in front of me.
Bush
Just a normal bush.
I saw a herb-like plant in front of a tree, usually a plant that grew near tree was either useful or poisonous. I appraised the plant, hoping for healing herb.
Kousu herb
A herb with healing properties. Can be eaten raw, crushed and rub it on wounds, or used as potion ingredients for maximal effect. Very bitter.
Jackpot!
I ate the herb but I almost spit it back out because of the extreme bitterness.
I endured it and finally swallow it.
The bitterness and the grassy smell still lingers in my mouth, I opened my stats and found that I recovered 5 points of HP.
What the hell!? It only recovered 5 points!
You mean I have to eat that herb five more times to be at full health?!
I crushed the other kousu herb and rubbed it to my wound, but my HP didn't recover.
So, the only way is to eat it?
Advertisement
No way! I had to searched a way to negate that bitterness, eating it five more times would wilt my tongue!
I walked again, but I'm not searching for enemies but for water.
I needed water, I really wanted it right now, to erased the bad taste in my mouth.
It's been two hours since my search for water, I haven't found any water source but I did found edible and poisonous mushrooms.
Hore mushroom
Edible. A bit spicy.
Luug mushroom
Poisonous. Caused paralysis if eaten
Ugo mushroom
Poisonous. Caused poisoning if eaten.
I'm truly grateful that my appraise skill level up.
If not, I'm going to have a really hard time.
As I walked, I heard a scream from ahead of me.
I went toward the scream, but I went slowly and carefully so I could back out at any moment I felt danger.
As I near the scream source, I heard the sound of water.
I grew excited but I still wary, because many danger could be found near and in water. Not to mention, I just heard a scream.
I found a river but I also found a bunch of rat from yesterday, I hid inside a bushes and looked at the rats. I appraised one.
Forest Rat
Big omnivore rats that lived in forest. Lived and hunt in groups. High reproductive ability. Edible.
There were five of them, and they were crowding something.
When I got a good look of what they were crowding, I almost yell.
The rats were eating a human.
I could only see the boots and legs, because the five rats was crowding his body.
As the rats were busy eating, it was my chance to ambush them.
For the corpse, I knew this was not something to say but, thank you for distracting them. I'll at least took revenge for you, by killing them.
A plan formed in my mind.
I ran out from the bushes and activate [Fire Clad].
The rats were too preoccupied on their meal, they didn't notice me.
I rammed one of the rats, only then the rats noticed me, but it was too late.
I used [Fire Breath] and managed to hit two of the rats near me.
Three rats were rolling in the ground with their body on fire.
I ignored the other two, they won't dare attack me while I activated [Fire Clad], they won't risk getting burned.
I ran to the one I rammed, I turned it to ash using [Fire Breath]. I did the same for one of the two rats rolling on the ground.
For the last rat, I gouged it's throat with my fangs. I need to bit multiple times because of my small size.
The blood on my mouth and fangs were burned by the fire on my body and left black marks.
The rats that I bit were letting out smokes from it's hollowed throat.
I looked at the two still living rats, I growled menacingly to intimidate them.
"You have learned [Intimidation]!"
My body covered by fire, my fangs stained by black marks from the blood as I stood on top of a Forest Rat corpse. Behind me were two more Forest Rats corpses.
The two alive Forest Rats growled back at me, but they slowly retreated and finally ran while leaving words.
"Strong, run."
"Run, avoid."
When the two rats disappeared from my sight, I deactivated [Fire Clad] and went to the shallow river with slow steps.
I voraciously gulped down the water after checking the river with appraise skill.
After satisfying my thirst, I rolled around the water to clean my body and face.
My plan worked.
Taking on five rats were dangerous, so I need to intimidate them to leave.
That was why I took out three rats while leaving two alive. To intimidate the last two.
For now, three rats were my my limit. The stamina used for my ability was no joke.
The battle just now already exhausted 25 points of my stamina.
Thankfully my intimidation worked.
If not, then I'm in for a rough battle.
I checked my status, after resting a bit.
I heard the level up announcement in my head after killing those three rats.

Wow, level 13! I really leveled up quick!
24 points to use for stats upgrade. Hmm, how to distribute it?
I used 10 points for stamina, more stamina means I could use more ability.
4 points for HP, for more HP.
3 points for MND, to defend against magic attack.
3 points for DEX, for more accuracy.
And lastly, 4 points for ATK, for more raw power.
Hahahahahaha! I'm still far from being OP, but I'm getting there!

Thorns of Jade [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG Adventure]
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Solo Leveling meets Chainsaw Man in this fun new LitRPG Series To become the king of Kissen, Noah Hearts trains to become the strongest swordsman in the world. The only problem — he can’t use Aura at all! Everything changes when he’s left for dead in a forest on the Kissen Fields… In a world where horrific creatures known as “demons” terrorize mankind, those who wield the mysterious force known as “aura” are the only ones who can fight them. These fighters call themselves the “Wolves of Haven”, and strive to create a world where demons no longer roam their lands! Though Noah Hearts is an exceptional swordfighter for a young man, his total inability to use aura means he could never hope to defeat the demons! Despite this major setback, he still hopes to become the king of Kissen and create a better world for those in his country! As he walks home from his daily training, his world is shifted upside down when he sees a few familiar faces in his home… This is the first draft of what I want to be a 9 volume series. I'll be editing, rewriting, and releasing the volumes on Amazon once they're finished. I'll admit, I'm finishing chapters in sprints because I want to participate in the writathon (Apr. 2022) so I apologize if there are some issues with the prose. Point them out to me and I'll fix them! Anyway, I have no backlog, but I plan on uploading chapters as I finish them. I don't want to spend weeks re-editing and never publishing like I used to, so I'm just gonna post when it's done. Like I said, this story is my take on a mix between solo leveling and chainsaw man. Specifically, the MC is the only one that can consciously level up (sort of), and the plot is fast paced and emotional just like chainsaw man. There are plenty of other inspirations, like HxH, Jojo, JJK, Cradle, and even FF6, but the first two are the biggest. Basically, if you don't like Shounen stuff, this probably isn't the story for you. Regardless, I hope you all like the story!
