<System> & Prepare to Hunt!

[Day 2]
I woke up and completely forgot that yesterday was real. I was at first surprised, however that turned into excitement because I only know how fun my adventure is going to be.
I'm not saying I'm not worried, scared, or nervous. I totally am because I know one small slip up and I'm dead...again.
If I do die, I hope I'll get reincarnated again. It's highly unlikely because I already got my second chance, but there's nothing wrong with hoping.
I got up and looked at my surroundings and to my surprise, there were less rabbits than yesterday.
The mother's still here along with a few smaller rabbits. The bigger sibling that I had a problem with yesterday, doesn't seem to be here.
I don't know why he decided to leave, he's just been born and is still weak. I think he's stronger than me, but not strong enough. He probably took the smaller ones with him.
If only he knew that we, horned rabbits, are used as either tryout quests or F-ranked missions for adventurers.
It's not like I really care, but it would be nice to use them as cannon fodder, if need be.
Does that sound harsh? Maybe, but once I get strong enough, I'll either kill them to eat their souls or ditch them. I know they're my family, but as I said yesterday, it doesn't really feel like family. It's probably because I'm a monster.
I'll figure it out later, I should use this time to complete my small goal from yesterday.
I got my [Quick Step] to level 4 and I said I'd get it to level 5. So I'll quickly raise it a level before I actually start my day. It'll be a nice warm up too.
After a few hours...
<Ding!>
<[Quick Step (Active): 04 ->05]>
Phew...After each level, it takes more time to raise it. I assume it'll take longer as I go, which I'm not happy about and yet at the same time I am.
If I battle against future enemies, I'll need all the strength I can get, so having it take more time to level up each skill will be costly.
However, I know that there will always be things to do since it's a fantasy world, but I like the feeling of raising skills because it's satisfying. I get to see my hard work pay off.
Anyways, I could either level up some of my skills or go out and hunt...
System, what do you think?
<Ding!>
<It is up to the user to decide>
That's no fun, System. We're probably going to be together from now on, so shouldn't you at least help me?
<I am just a tool fo->
System... Come on, lighten up. I don't see you as a tool. Right now, you are my only...friend? My only friend that I have in this world since I came here.
I don't want to force you to do something you don't wanna do. I understand that you are programmed, but I just have this feeling like you're more than what you think.
Plus, didn't you recommend yesterday that I get familiar with my new body?
<...I suggest the user to go hunt and earn experience>
Alright! See? That wasn't so hard. I'll do exactly as you say.
I stretched and quickly looked at my status

--------------------------------------------------------------
Let's see... I got my [Agility] up by 2 since yesterday, which also increased my [SP]. I can feel everything around me is a little slower, nothing too noticeable.
I also see I got my [Charisma] up...when? Was it from the conversation with System?
Does that mean that system is a...
Nah, I'm probably thinking about it too much.
I notice that I can complete my [Daily Mission] for today, so I'll do just that.
I walked or hopped towards my mother to drink her milk. Like always, it's delicious. I wonder if it's because she's a monster and a strong one at that.
Then doesn't that mean that anything that comes from monsters is just as or if not more delicious than this?
I have another reason to hunt, then.
I hope they don't expect me to give them some of my hunt. I'll hide some of it somewhere and bring back a smaller amount just in case.
I should also take a bit of time to test out the [Wind Slash] skill, just in case.
I got into a safe distance away from the other rabbits, so I don't actually hurt them, for now. I then tried to use the skill...
['Wind Slash!']
*Boom*
Just like I thought, the skills [Wind Magic] and [Mana Manipulation] worked like they're supposed to.
I thought that I would have to take time to actually feel the mana and manipulate it to control the winds into a blade, however the [Wind Magic] and [Mana Manipulation] did it for me. I guess magic's easy or is that just me?
System, am I good at magic? Why is it so easy?
<Ding!>
<The user has a very high aptitude for magic. Having said that, I can not compare you to anyone since I've only awoken when you have been reincarnated>
Then I'll just take that as a compliment.
It's a relief that magic will be easier to level up. I'll get [Wind Slash] to level 3 before I hunt.
After 2 hours...
<Ding!>
<[Wind Slash (Active): 02 - > 03]>
(A/N: It would've been 01 -> 03, but I figured it would make more sense if it's 02 -> 03).
Sigh...I've got my [Quick Step] to level 5 and [Wind Slash] to level 3, today. I think it's already a good day. I'll hunt maybe 1 animal, 2 if everything goes well.
I look to my right and see the rabbits hiding behind our mother.
Why are they hiding?
I look back to where I was practicing and there's holes and slashes everywhere, dirt piling up on the floor. I look back at them and realize I'm the problem.
I thought they would be okay since their monsters, but it doesn't appear to be so.
Why does the mother sit there all day too? Ah, she just gave birth...makes sense.
I could leave the dirt piled, but I'm not an ass, so I'll sweep it into a corner with [Wind Magic]
After a few minutes, everything looks good as new...except for the holes in the wall. It probably won't collapse because the walls look pretty solid. I'm sure my mother used a skill to get it to be like this.
After I'm finished, I look towards another entrance... or exit? Anyways, I see my siblings have come back and they look terrible.
Some of them were missing, the smaller ones have blood on their fur, scratches and cuts on them. There's even one with a huge Icicle in its back. While the bigger one seems okay.
He probably used them as decoys or ditched them when things got hot. He's smarter than he looks... I'm not praising him, I find it annoying.
He lowered our numbers, so if we get attacked or I want to kill them, there will be fewer.
What's done is done, not like I can do anything about it. I'll just have to get stronger, faster. I'll kill him before he tries to do this stunt again. His soul should be pretty tasty.
Alright... I take one last glance around the room to make sure when I come back, I'll notice if any changes happen.
I've already prepared to go out by leveling up the two most important skills. I'm already familiar with my body to the extent that I'm ready to go hunting.
I'll have to be careful not to run into adventurers. I'm pretty much dead meat if I run into one.
System, do you think I should do anything before I go out?
<Ding!>
<The user has already made sufficient requirements to go hunting... I suggest the user to act with caution>
Awe~ Are you worried about me? That makes me feel a whole lot better now! Let's get started!
