Poisonous encounter

"Hmmm so good to think I'm happy to eat some cold food that I bought from the convenience store"

It's been 5 hours since he had seen the pop-up message he spent most of that time resting and once he felt his stomach grumbling he opened those Bento they sell in a store

"I'm finished now that's all done I should check it out "Status" Rei invoked the activation words that make the system show his stats

'I found something out when I was resting it seems that this is that System like on those Webnovels I read before and if my guess is correct the requirement to unlock this is to kill a monster I finally found out what monster I've killed. it was called a "Goblin" It's information about its species just popped out of nowhere after I killed it,'

[Goblins - their monsters that have a human-like appearance their heights are mostly at 4 feet tall green skin low intelligence agile but an average goblin's strength can be compared to humans strength even though their size is a little bit small]

'I don't know if this is good or not I never played a game, I've only read a portion of System novels. the fact that most of them didn't show anything about stats is a little tricky,'

"I got 10 points on Hp Def and Stamina it'll be helpful for tomorrow," Rei puts out the fire he created inside the cave before he heads to a deeper part where he placed a ton of leaves for him to sleep in

As the sun had risen Rei emerge from the deepest part of the cave, making his way to exit where he sees the Goblins knife along with a teeth

Day 1

...

Day 2

"What's this?!!" Rei grabbed the material lying down near the place where the corpse of the goblin was supposed to be

[Goblin fang - it's a fang that you can obtain from killing a goblin it's very sharp, Please be careful when handling this]

[Goblin knife - a very sharp knife used by a goblin it's sharp and well made

Attack power: 15

durability 20/16]

'They drop items? no matter how I try to deny it, my situation resembles those System novels I read before. I should just leave the fang inside this cave but the knife's pretty useful it has more power than the knife I have'

[Novice knife - a normal knife that came out of nowhere origins unknown found in Rei's right hand

Attack power: 5 Durability: 10/5]

"Dang so that's why it didn't do much at the monsters"

'After I leveled up... I can see information about anything that I focus my mind on myself a thing or even a living being. I can see their names and stats but their names and skills remain blank,'

He walked out of the cave after cutting some nearby branches and placing them near the cave's entrance to lessen the chances of a monster entering it again before he leaves in search of supplies

"Before I go and level up I should focus on finding two things first 1. Food supply 2. Freshwater I need something to fill my body even if I level up what's the point if I ended dying from starvation,"

Hunger was inevitable, so instead of going back to the center, Rei took another route to find anything to eat. as soon as possible from the Northside of the forest there was nothing but rocks and Animal-like monsters. in the west side there was a pretty thick forest he was about to head inside and explore but soon as he got a little closer his sharp sense activated and a message popped out from his view made by his skill saying Danger nearby!!!, after that he didn't go any further his exploration looked like it was a bust but after he entered the Eastside he found a river and some boars near it drinking some water

"Finally water!!!"

He ran as fast as he can shoving his face right at the river drinking like an animal that haven't seen a body of water for ages. until his thirst was no longer just when it looks like he wasn't about to worry for any nearby monsters he suddenly sensed a shiver throughout his body indicating danger. he jumps out of the water before the sensation got any stronger and a second later he saw something come out of the water hitting the direction he was drinking before

"Holy shit that could have been me"

After that Rei grabbed his knife and stabbed the tail before it goes back from the water soon after he stabbed the tail a ton of bubbles were continuously flowing out from the river until the head of the monster came out its appearance looks like a snake

"Gggrrrrrrrrg!!!" The monstrous snake pulled its tail which would've sent him flying to the river if he didn't pull his knife at the right time, he landed near the river

"Analyze!!!" The system starts to analyze the monster's information which only contains a level along with its superior stat line

[Monster:???

level: 5

information:???

traits:???

Health: 38 Attack: 16 Speed: 20 Defense: 7  Stamina: 20 Mana: 0]

'What a monstrous stat even though it's high on offense its defense is so lacking I might stand a chance'

The monstrous snake launched its tail at Rei's direction with an incredible speed that was faster than his eye due to his sharp senses he was able to sense the direction of the attacks making him dodge. its tail got stuck in the rubble, giving him a little bit of time to charge suddenly he felt the same shock from before which forced him to dodge when the tail bend over after it escape from the ground and struck his blindspot leaving a cut on his right hand. he received a graze but that never stopped him from thrusting his blade before its tail could leave his range of attack, after their exchanges he got back up he notices that his vision was getting a little too shaky his body burning up and his cut swollen

'What is this? it feels like im dying'

[Sytem: You've got poisoned by the monster, your bodies trying to fight off the poison please stay alive while your body gets treated]

[System: Stay alive in the next 3 minutes until your body slowly adapts to the poison]

"You got to be kidding me right now whoaaaaa!!!!" Rei dodges an attack that was aimed at his head

'Ughhh my head hurts.... no!!! focus Rei you need to focus, your eyes are no good how about we trust that skill for once'

After he got a little bit of his consciousness back from the hallucinations he had been getting from the poison. he closed his eyes in the meantime since his vision was wobbly which gave him some headaches, he didn't waste any time thinking it through and shut his eyes and trusted only his sense. he entered a state where he could only trust his senses to survive maintaining this for 3 minutes

He dodges the attacks aimed for his leg to his arm, dodging was disadvantageous, he holds his knife and bet his life once the stimulating shock was at its highest level he dodges and aimed his knife through its tail he did this process over and over and over again

and when it was almost complete the last attack made his senses shiver through his spine it wasn't the same feeling he had before it didn't tell him to move a little or bend his body it was telling him to

"Run?!!"

Run as he did he opened his eyes to see the monster spitting some strange fluid from its mouth he wasn't sure what happened to the ground it spewed on but the feeling of danger got stronger when the fluid was closing at him making him jump but as he did the snake had launched its tail that struck him in the chest before he got sent to the ground

[Status: you have stayed alive for 3 minutes you gained a little immunity from the poison your body isn't affected by hallucination anymore]

[System: You've taken a lot of poison due to your immunity you aren't experiencing hallucinations but the poisons are too much your health declining all of your stats decrease by 3 points]

"Damn it seems like I can't prolong this fight any longer"

He ran through another place near the river to avoid its poisonous breath, the snake blindly followed Rei before it could spit its poison he jumped at its head stabbing it with both his knife and the other one he had gotten from the goblin the snake screamed in pain. while shaking its body to knock Rei out but his knife was too deep to be pulled out just from a simple shake he kept hanging onto them until the snake had finally run out of stamina tired and wounded the snake lost to Rei due to it being too vulnerable to his attacks

"Sigh... Finally, it's down I thought I would have died for sure but I pulled through to the very end" Rei lay down in the grassy field away from the river which made him cautious if another one emerge

[System: your body has gained mid-tier poison immunity your stats won't be decreased when you're poisoned]

"Mid-tier so it can even go higher. Good thing I brought two bottles with me one for poison and one for water,"

After he had killed a nearby boar and collected some water for today and tomorrow there was only one thing left to do before he leaves

"It was great knowing you but you have to die for my growth be grateful that you're helping a kind person grow," Rei stabbed the snake through its eye as its loud breath that had once been heard slowly fades away after its screams echoed throughout the forest

[System: you've killed a monster, the collected experience will now be given]

[System: an uncommon monster has been killed due to the achievements you're given 3 points in every stat]

At the cave

After he obtained the item drops, he went back to the cave roasting the meat he hunted and placing the items he had gotten

"Hmmm the boars' meat smells cooked I should take it out now," Rei takes the meat away from the fire

[Sea serpent scale - scales obtained from the sea serpent it's very tough it'll take a long time even for a knife to pierce through this

Sea serpent poison sac - a part of the sea serpent it contains a sea serpents poison that's too potent to even kill in a heartbeat]

"It seems that I'm gonna be busy for a couple of days," Rei pours some poison on the meat his eating

[Status: you've been poisoned stay alive for the next 10 minutes as your body builds immunity to the potent poison]

"Aaaaaah!!! it hurts, it's burning up why did I even do this in the first place, arrrrgh save me!!!" Rei falls flat to the ground squirming with every passing second and screaming that echoes to the exit of the cave

10 minutes later

[Status: your body has gained high-tier poison immunity you won't be easily affected by any lethal poison you are now immune to the following, signs of heating, paralysis, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations]

"Worth it bluargh," Rei he pukes out the meat along with the rest of the poison, he never thought that he'll gain some visitors this time around as a swarm of Goblins entered his cave, one of them pulled out an arrow which he dodges thanks to his skill before he gets back in his feet and grabs the remaining untainted meat that he ate to regain his strength

"Goblins what the hell are they doing here?"

[System: Night has arrived, the monsters in your vicinity will become more active in this particular hour]
