Day 7
I decided to start the day off with some good old skill testing. That is, after I had finished recoating the ground and entrance with my poison shots.
<< [Imprint]: Allows the user to leave its mark on anything>>
'Allows me to leave my mark on anything, hmm… Interesting. So if I left my mark on this nest right now.'
I tried, by walking up to the walls then stepping on it. I willed for the simple activation of the skill and it came.
The wall glowed with a white light, then my foot print was left on the wall.
[You have declared this wall as yours]
[It is now Hinotori's Wall]
'Eh? Just the wall alone? What about the entire nest?'
<<Skill is too weak to cause such an effect>>
'Ah… useless. All my skills are so useless because of how low level they are. This is super annoying!'
BOOM!
The ground shook mightily, forcing me to jump up.
'W-What was that?!'
BOOM!
Again, the place rumbled and I almost fell. I was getting scared by what was happening. I didn't like the way things were going. From the looks of things, there might have been a crazy powerful monster fighting out there.
I was left wondering what kind of beast it could have been. Some ogres going at it or maybe trolls. Giants maybe? Wait… dragons? If two dragons were going at it I really wanted to see the fight. It was definitely going to be the ultimate fantasy fight everybody wants to see.
Just as I thinking of what it might have been, the top of my nest was blown away by some crazy force. A stupid amount of sunlight just entered the nest uninvited, making me feel a bit uncomfortable. I ran out of the nest to avoid the falling debris and was stunned by what I saw.
There were two forces facing each other and I was at the center. I suddenly felt like some kind of anchorman broadcasting some kind of match.
'From the left comes the ferocious but cute fanged bunnies. You know them, you love them for their seemingly dormant nature, but don't let them fool you! Those fangs are for sucking out all your blood. And then there's their boss! The great Silver Quartz Rabbit King! And from the right! Let me hear your boos! Yes! That's right! King of the insufferably violent horned rabbits, the Black Rose Jack King. A completely malicious tyrant who could be compared the demon lord from manga! We hope you lose!'
To my left, there were a bunch of rabbits with light coloured fur and fangs sticking out. There were easily over a hundred on my left, each of them being at least level 8 and having stats that I'd have trouble with.
Then there was the big one. A massive rabbit almost as tall as the trees, with silver pink fur. It had quartz like eyes that stared intensely at its opponent and fangs that looked as hard as a walrus' tusks. The rabbit had a short tail that laid about a meter behind it. Its belly was white and there was a jewel growing in its chest.

'W-What is with the stats? And skills? W-Why does it say calculating?'
I fell down, feeling pressured by the sheer amount of numbers I was seeing. This was the first level 119 I had faced. I didn't think anyone could even go beyond level 100. This made me think. What was the final level?

The Black Rose Jack King was also as big as the other rabbit, but it had black fur with a white mane. It had two horns growing from its head like a deer, with spikes containing closed flowers on them. Its eyes were a cruel red and its spine was pointed outward with sharp spikes coming out and a tail 2 metres long with what seemed to be a wrecking ball attached to it.
'Oi! You're not supposed to be so strong! This is just the starting point of the game you moron!'
The black jack stomped the ground with its leg, shaking up the entire ground. It caused me to dance a bit, but then all the other horned rabbits started to follow. Then it made a weird sound like a trumpet.
Dududududududududududu... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The horned rabbits stopped, then their stomping begun again, only this time it was more in sync than the other times.
It were almost as if they were making war cries. Both of them stopped. For a moment, there was quiet, but then the rabbits charged at each other without mercy. The horned rabbits stabbed the fanged and fanged bit the horned. It was one of the bloodiest moments I could remember.
I was taken aback by how bloody common bunnies could be. I felt like Hefla had something to do with it, but the rate at which bunnies were dropping was bad. I was also getting this nagging feeling telling me to participate.
'Eh… to hell with it! Let's go!'
<<Alert! Master is under the effects of the skill [Violence Inducement]>>
Agent said something shocking.
'Eh? [Violence Inducement]? What's that?'
<<Violence Inducement: A skill that compels any target to want to get violent and engage in unreasonable acts, while draining away at their stamina and creating mental stress. It also slowly erodes the soul>>
'Ah… that's dangerous. Any solutions?'
<<Answer. Flee>>
'What? But that's my home! I can't just abandon it!'
BOOM!
There was a loud clash that seemed to silence the entire forest. A powerful shock wave was sent through the forest, and I might have been blown away if I didn't stick my beak into the ground. After it died down, I saw the two rabbit kings, horn against fang.
They then separated. Then clashed again. To be honest, in my eyes, they were practically invisible as they moved. Then there was another clash, a shock wave that actually broke some trees in half.
Terrified, I decided to go hide behind one of the trees to avoid the shock waves.
The fanged rabbit grabbed the horned rabbit's horns with its drooping ears that were apparently controllable, then flipped it over. The horned rabbit however grabbed the fanged rabbit's throat with it's wrecking ball tail and both of them were sent flying.
After that, I couldn't see anymore.
All I knew was that I saw the horned rabbit over the fanged rabbit, growling with what seemed to be happiness.
'Eek! Hefla won?!'
The sprouts on Hefla's horns sprouted into beautiful roses. These roses released a weird gas that permeated the area. It smelt nice, but then something annoying happened.
[You have inhaled Nightmare Poison]
'Nightmare poison? What is that?'
<<Nightmare Poison: A unique kind of poison that has a direct effect on the brain and can cause severe mental disorder. Induces various mental effects>>
'Ah… In that case, I can't be here! Ah! It's time to move then! Tori Sprint!'
I activated [Sprint] then made a run for it, just going wherever I could. A fanged bunny came up from behind and tried to bite me, but I activated [Acrobatics] and dodged in time. Another one came, this time a horned rabbit. It charged at me from the front, and not wanting to waste energy on it, I decided to avoid it as well by diving to the left.
Just when I thought I was in the clear, one horned rabbit rammed into me, throwing me away. Although it hurt, it hadn't managed to stab me because I put up some [White Viper Scales] just in time. I rolled away, but without stopping the momentum I continued to run for my life. I wasn't allowed to breathe in the gas so I wouldn't.
I made it! I managed to get to the river side where I first found myself. I let out heavy baited breaths as I walked towards the river to get a drink. Just as I was about to dip my beak into it, I noticed something. I looked bad.I looked at myself in the river. My feathers were a mess and dirty. I looked exhausted and pathetic. Was this how I had looked this entire time?Tears started to run down my cheeks.'Why am I crying? No! Stop crying, it's only been a few days. There is absolutely no reason to cry. Men don't cry. W-Why?' I just broke down, the tears streaming down one by one till it became a concentrated flow of crystalline water.This had to stop. All this running. I needed to stop it. I couldn't keep suffering like this.'Ken! I'm sorry! I swore to live a glorious second life, yet look at me! A crying mess! A coward who keeps on running! I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I- I can't do this anymore. I want to die.'Suddenly I had a memo

What? What happened?'My vision was flooded with blue as I took in the view of the several screens. I sat up with a groan and looked up into the sky. It was getting dark. I wondered what time it was.<<It has been exactly 1 day since you died>>'Woah… what happened to me?'I was genuinely stunned by the sudden transformation. I was bigger than I last remembered, but ther
Day 9Last night I dragged all the dead rabbits I could find and was surprised by how they were all around by the dozens. It was a literal mountain of dead rabbits that couldn't enter the cave anymore. I had to admit. Thanks to the rabbit kings, I had enough to keep me going for weeks to come.The problem I had was the fact that I had no roof. As a shut-in, I loathed the sunlight, which was why I hated this world. Thanks to it, I hate the night time. It would be difficult to survive around that time and I wouldn't have enough to keep myself going till I died. Now my NEET ass loves the sunlight. Still, that would be an issue for later.The current issue was how the hell I acquired a level. I shouldn't have acquired a level. I hadn't done anything that required that I would get a level in return. At least nothing that I could think off. Strangely, I felt that it had something to do with Shiro.Maybe that soul bond we shared did something. Speaking of that s
Honestly, the one time I wanted snakes and rabbits to come my way, I couldn't find them. It was so bad I was tempted to use [Golden Chick Cry], but that was a move I had reserved myself to never ever use, out of fear of calling something extremely dangerous to my side.It had been some minutes since I told myself that I'd forcefully raise my level up by 5 times today. This was going to be hard.Eventually, I managed to get some food for my evolution, but it wasn't one I wanted. I was running around when I got trapped in some kind of sticky mess. I thought it was something like the boar from the last time, but it wasn't. There were no eyes or mouth and it wasn't fur.I heard some clacking sounds from above, so I looked up. A vile of purple of substance dropped on the ground next to me, melting the ground.'Acid?'There were some huge black fangs slowly approaching me, with eight eyes and a very hairy black body as well as eight limbs with the tips b
Dirthaven city, once the very famous capital of the Boulderdane Kingdom, used to be a city where most people wanted to be. The city was welcome to almost an endless amount of traders, which earned it a lot of tourists and trade from roaming merchants and people looking to enjoy themselves.All this was in the past though. Six years ago to be exact. Now it was simply a husk of its former glory. On the once bustling streets, all one would find were homeless beggars and drunkards. At night, the entire city turned into the biggest red light district in the kingdom, harlots of different sentient races would roam, looking for their targets. There were even rumours of succubi having suck the life forces of some men.Children were being raised to become thieves and only the rich thrived in the upper echelons. The royal family had shut themselves away from the people, leaving them to rot. The adventurer's guild lost most of the mercenaries in one hit and the kingdom lost all it
'Wah… huh?'The screens flooded my eyes, giving me headaches with the several dings that came up. I slowly sat up, rubbing my head with my wings.'Hmm, that's so soft and nice. It's like a nice fluffy pillow. Wait a minute… since when did I have such nice feathers?'My feathers were always rough, messy and uncomfortable, so how the hell were they suddenly enjoyable? That was when I saw my body.I had gotten a bit taller, as well as fatter. My feathers had gotten darker and seemed sharper and smoother. The tips were black though, same for my belly and feet. I had some form of antennae on my head, almost like a replacement for my original cowlick.'I-… did I evolve? Woohoo! Evolution! Muahaha! Come! Face me!'STATUS[Name: Hinotori[Species: Golden Demonic Hen Level 1/30[Status: [Hungry][Age: 9 days
"Wawa! Aga?" Ichi was playing around with a tiny pebble he found lying around the cave. I barely gave him a thought as I grinded the Renosue herbs to paste.[Item: Renosue Flower[Description: A very valuable commodity that normally grows in Larm, but can also be found in places with intense weather conditions. It has the ability to recover up to 50% the health of any weakened individual and cure most diseases.]It was practically a cheat code. Take it twice and you were back to 100%. This was probably the best remedy you would find in this world. And the fact that they grow at places with the worst weather conditions make them seem quite rare. I doubt the residents of this world use them often. And here I was using them on plants.Well, considering I found them growing practically everywhere, you couldn't blame me if I felt like wasting one or two of them.'Maybe I can sell them in a town and make money?' A thought came to mind.If I manage
Day 11'Damn it! That wolf stole my dinner! I'll kill it! I'll massacre it!'Why am I threatening to kill a big bad wolf? Well it's simply because that big bad wolf stole my dinner slash breakfast and I am still hungry.The damned brat stole my kill. That wasn't fair. Not in the slightest. I thought wolves were creatures of honour and valour. He was just a common crook. I would kill him and regain my lost honour."Waba!""Aragagah?""Kekekra."My three kids were discussing the revenge plans before me. They had made some weird markings on the ground. I guess that was the plan.'Black wolf, tonight, I shal
