I was the only one here at the pond there were no other monsters nearby. With this I could test some of the theories I have about the system and some of the rules it had. First I could increase my St with only a few hours of running but knowing that It must increase in difficulty the higher a score is. But the thing I want to know is, can you increase stats like Str by training or was it impossible to do that. And was I able to gain new skills or did the system only give them as special circumstances for growth in one's Lv or something else. I had both a Class and Evolution, so I may be able to learn things by myself right?

Instead of just sitting there being an idiot and wasting time I should jump right into it. First I tried to use the skin I had been carrying with me this whole time and rolled it out. Staring just for a second at it, I grabbed the tentacles and burned myself but nothing happened to me after a few seconds. “Fuck that scared me thought the Mother was going to smite me or some shit like that. Maybe hurting oneself doesn't break the rules placed here.” I mumbled to myself. I stopped using the tentacles from the skin after I hit 5 Hp. Rot looked to be spreading from my hands to my upper arms where my shoulders are. Black corruption flowed in my veins, going over to the pond I drank a little of it to help heal and see if the spread of rot would stop, and it did just like I thought it would. The pond has very good healing properties. While the corruption and damage from the rot was being healed I began to run around to see it I could raise my St even more and see if Agi would increase after a while as well.

I continued my run around the pond at full speed until I ran out of St and laid there until I could regenerate more. After that I swung my claws around while running to get used to moving while fighting, so I wouldn't get hit while fighting even moving my tail around to get a better feel of it. Soon I recovered enough mp to cast Inferior Healing once. Bring me up to 19/20 health so back to the skin I was. My health hit 5 again and I drank some more of the healing water. And keep on repeating this until I received notification with the little ding sound.

A grin broke across my face as I read the messages the system had for me. This meant a lot of things could be done to make my self stronger by training myself.

I did everything I could think of to make myself stronger. Running, slashing, lifting heavy things, and even using my spells when I had regenerated my mp. And hours of training went by in a flash. I heard monsters starting to come closer, so I had to stop for today and get some rest. But I liked the new gains I got.

My body ached with a bone deep pain as I ran my self ragged. I Laid near the pond to drink some water using it to speed up the recovery of my body. The muscles were thicker and leaner. My Agi became my highest stat after all the running I did. I could run 55 yards (50.29 meters) in 4 seconds. I'm not sure how fast that is, but it seems to be pretty fast for me. And since I have raised my stats up well except for Chs and Int I'm just going to focus free points into Int now because It seems like something that will take forever to raise without help. And Chs can probably be raised just by learning to talk better and having more social interactions with others. So no free points every going into that one It can raise on its own, because I'm not going to waste a resource on something I can't even use.

More and more monsters came to the pond I just ignored the ones that were stupid and couldn't talk and talked to a few of the tier 2's keeping far away from the bird rat thing that pissed me off last time. Some of the ones I had met before were not here meaning that they were dead or still out fighting. I did see the V again covered in wounds but being 3 levels higher. Now Lv 13 I waved at him at went over to a place where I was alone and tried to lightly sleep for a while to rest, so I can be ready to leave in a few hours to hunt again. Closing my eyes I drifted off to sleep.
