14 Chapter 14 - Trash!
Bright lights covered my eyes making my eyes only see pure white. I tried opening my eyes but it only resulted in me hurting it. I closed back my eyes and waited for the light to subside. After waiting for 10 minutes, I can see the light being gone little by little.
I tried blinking my eyes for a couple of times to adjust my sight towards my surroundings before opening my eyes completely. I looked at my surroundings and all I see are green. I was at a place full of grass and trees. I looked above me and saw the sunlight. I was so happy that it made me jump unconsciously.
"Yeah! I'm out of that damn dungeon!"
I shouted at my mind which I expected for Akira to reply but sadly I did not get any.
"Hey Akira why are you not talking?"
I said at my mind but still their was no reply. This confused me at first but then I remember that he will be gone for a few days because of expending too much mana.
I suddenly missed the presence of Akira even though I only manage to meet him for a couple of minutes. This is maybe the result of me being alone at the dungeon for many days. It makes me disgusted at my self thinking that I actually missed Akira.
Ave keep it together, you will meet other people or monster. I need to keep in mind that I am a monster now and not a human. Humans might attack me suddenly because I'm a monster. I stayed vigilant and alert of any incoming threats. In truth, I can't trust both humans and monsters yet in short I don't trust anyone.
Observing the surroundings that I see, I suddenly hear my stomach grumble making me startled. I did not eat for many hours now so I should first find food around this forest. I don't know where I am and I can't ask Akira because he is resting. I should have asked him before but I was not thinking straight. But before I move, I checked my MENU first.

I checked my Space Magic first and looked at it's information using Appraisal.
Space Magic (Level 1):
Can make Tier 1 space magic.
I don't know why but I have knowledge about space magic and magics that I can use with it. Space Magic is more extravagant when using because it spends more mana than Ice Magic so for now I will stick in using Ice magic.
I checked all my current skills for now before moving. Afterwards, I move at one direction and I did not even think what direction I should go. I mean what's the use of picking a direction when all I see is full of trees and grass. I don't even know where I am so choosing any direction is alright.
I walked towards my front and looked at my surroundings, I can see many trees but there is enough space for me to move around. I can also hear birds chirping. I looked at the birds and I can see that they are small but about the same size as me which is big if you consider my size. They have yellow feathers and has a sharp beak. They were looking at me curiously. I counted them and I can see that there are 5 of them. I appraise them and I see this.

WIS: 2
They all have the same attributes and levels. But why do they have a race called thrasher, it sounds like trash. Hahahahahhahahahaha! I laughed at their race name which made my mouth release meow sounds. I can't stop laughing and this made the yellow birds narrow there eyes at me as if I am a prey.
They then flew down at high speed towards me. This made me regret my past action. I made one of my shadow clones cover for me. It received a damage from the beak attack of the yellow birds.

Weak damage. Me and my shadow clones made a attack, we all used Power Slash combined with poison at are claws but sadly only my attack landed at one of the birds.

Ding!
You gain 20 EXP.
It one hit kill one of the birds which resulted to four birds remaining. They are extremely fast but I can see that at the cost of speed there other attributes were weaker making it easier to kill if the attack actually landed.
I killed the other four with the same tactic which resulted in me getting 100 EXP in total. With these five birds, I can have food for the time being. I ate the five birds which gave me 40 EXP for each bird, making it 200 EXP in total.
With this I have manage to level up two times making my level to level 15. Sadly no skills leveled up but I guess because my skills are already high level, it is harder to level up.
I then continued walking at the forest at a random direction. This time I did see the same birds as before but they are not attacking me now maybe because they saw what happened to the 5 birds earlier making them wary of me. I walked for more than an hour and I saw a rabbit this time and thankfully it is not big but also has the same size as me. This rabbit is weird because it has fangs as it's teeth. It was colored brown with black eyes. It was alone so I tried to hunt it but first let's use are almighty appraisal.

Level: 8
HP: 90 / 90
MP: 20 / 20
STR: 16
VIT: 9
DEX: 16
INT: 2
WIS: 2
This rabbit is clearly strong and fast. I need to hit it with all I got. I made a stance that was ready to jump with my shadow. I first let my shadows use ice magic to restrain and do damage toward the rabbit. They made a ice that covered it's feet as for me I already jump at the same time. I also controlled my shadows to use ice magic again but this time they used an attack.

-10
With two tier 1 ice magic hitting the rabbit, it manage to bring it's health points down to 70. After the ice magic hit the rabbit, I was already close to it making a slash towards it with poison at my claws.
-30
Inflicted with poison. -10 poison damage every three seconds.
-10
This left the rabbit with only 30 health points. After I slashed it with my claw, I used my fangs to attack it again.
-15
It was left with 15 health points. I followed it with ice magic making a ice dagger in the air and hitting it with the ice dagger which finished it off.

I moved again after eating the rabbit and after an hour of walking I saw a cave and green creatures inside the cave.
