7 A Clue And Spirit Essence
Narrator: Mastamaynd21 crawled out of the hole. He had a fortuitous encounter inside that wonderful hole. When he got out, he brought [Lumber x20] and [Anahaw leaf x35] from his storage room. He then heads towards where Sushi is located.
*walks* *wistles*
Eh, Sushi?
I can feel that you had grown stronger.
Sushi: *shows some muscle*
You maybe had grown stronger but you hadn't grown even a single inch. Hahahaha!

You can now fight Sushi.
Sushi: *nods*
You haven't fight any monsters in the area, I can't see any monster corpse here, and if there are any monsters here then Sushi would be dead meat.
Hmmm, Did You level up because of the snake's blood?
Sushi: *ponders* *nods again*
You live to suck blood, maybe that's the reason behind your sudden level-up.
I'll make you a gourd to store this snake's blood, 'kay.
*pulls out [Eternal Green Cucumber x1]*
*cuts* *slurps*
Ah, this thing is wonderful maybe I can try planting this someday.
Now, Sushi let's turn this [Eternal Green Cucumber: Skin] into your personal blood storage gourd.

Are you full now, Sushi?
Sushi: *shakes head*
What a glutton. Fine, there is still some excess blood there, go find it.
I'll cut a small portion of the snake and cook it, you want meat?
Sushi: *shakes head*
Okay, go and start sucking there, if you don't want one.
*ponders*
I won't attract monsters if I cook here right?
Well, if they dared trespass this area, then I'll climb to the trees as usual.
*went to the snake's tail*
*cuts 40cm of the snake's tail*
Now, let's do the tailoring thing.

Hmmmm,*sniffs* I didn't expect the snake meat to smell like this.
Look at this, it's juicy. *gulps*
Thank you for the food.
*munch* *munch* *munch*
*...…..*
Narrator: when Mastamaynd21 was eating at the moment, he was disturbed by a system notification.
*notification ring…..*
[You are eating a Healthy food! Received 2xp]
Mum wha Muck! *gulps*
2xp! I didn't know that this is possible.
Just like how Sushi level-up, there might be something I didn't know about my system.
Lemme ask SI.
*swipes up* *press*
[Sorry! Customer Help voice channel is Offline]
WTF! Offline!
Jeez, I'll just find a way to figure this thing out myself.
*Continues eating*
+2xp
+2xp
+2xp
+2xp
*....*
*...…*
*...…*
Narrator: he ate non-stop, finishing all the cooked meat while acquiring a total of 114xp.
Hahahaha, I think my guess hit the spot this time. But I need a little more evidence before I completely believe that my guess was right.
First, let me butcher the snake meat before confirming things.
Uhm, uhm. *nods* Lesgo.
Narrator: After thinking things through, Mastamand21 went to the snake corpse to butcher its body. He can't confirm his guess right now, but he will find a time for it.
*sings* Oh, snake don't ever look at me don't ever look me with your single watery eyes. *sings*
*cuts* *slashes*
*sings* I touch you but your too hard, I push you but you fight back. Oh, I tried pulling you but you won't budge. *sings*
*seen something shining*
Eh, what's with this shinning thing inside this snake's stomach?
Hmmm, is this edible? *bites*
Ouch, it's hard.
Hmmm, let me identify this one.
*identifying*
[----------------------------------------]
[Spirit Essence: Mortal(!)]
(Consumable)
A being's spiritual energy that gathers inside the stomach at death.
+2 Spirit
[----------------------------------------]
Oh ho ho ho ho, what a useful item.
*swallow*
*consumes*

Lemme see, lemme see

HP: 150 Stamina: 105

[----------------------------------------]
Woaaah, my magic defense is higher than my defense.
Well, well, well.
So I can find these things inside the monster's body or humans too.
I'll need to confirm this thing next time. I have a lot of pending task. Well, I'll just do it nice and slow.
Narrator: Mastamaynd21 finished his butchering a while ago after he found out about the [Spirit Essence]. After sucking until it's full, Sushi was sleeping comfortably. He put Sushi again inside his pocket and tried his luck in searching for a shelter.
I separated the snake's skin from its meat. I can use this skin in making a cloth or something.
*nods* *looks at Sushi*
Sushi you must be a pig before you reincarnated. Look at you, sleeping after eating. Tsssk, tsssk, tsssk, that's bad Sushi you won't grow tall but you'll bloat.
Anyways, let me place a marker in my Map so that I can easily locate this place.
*swipes up* *place marker*
Done!
Now, I'll start to wander, wander.
*walks*
Narrator: Mastamaynd21 is slowly improving in his sneaking skill. He is becoming more cautious than ever. Before, he would attract some monsters nearby, that he stayed above a tree for an hour. He went to a place of the forest, where the trees were so dense, you can't see the blue sky above. He also found a lot of monsters using his {Search}, fortunately he didn't attract any of them. Even so, he still as cautious as ever, that you might mistook him as an assassin. He also climbed above the trees cutting the straight branches and turning it into an arrow, which he would keep in his quiver. He made a total of 30 poor quality arrows in his way of searching for a big tree. While walking cautiously, Mastamaynd21 found something far away. He narrowed his eyes, trying to see a clearer picture of what he saw. Sprinting towards the area where he found something, Mastamaynd21 was trying to confirm if his guess was right.
*sprints*
*stops*
*heavy breathing*
*lifts head*
Woah!

Author's Note:
1. Mortal (!) – There are five types of Spirit Essence.
But first, let me explain what Spirit Essence is. It's the spiritual essence of the person/beast that came from their body and soul. So, even if a person/beast is not a mage or a spirit base type, as long as they reach a certain level, then the Spirit Essence they produce is as strong as their level.
• Mortal Essence - +1-2 Spirit (level 1-20)
• Transcendent Essence – +3-4 Spirit (level 21-40)
• Saint Essence - +5-6 Spirit (level 41-60)
• Demigod Essence - +7-8 Spirit (level 61-80)
• God Essence - +9-10 Spirit (level 81-100)
