Good stuff
[ EXP +20, +1 intelligence]
"It seems we will have to go the tribe pumpkin, might as well kill one level 1 going back."
He put the centipede corpse in the ring and went back. He saw a snake in between and killed it in a second getting the heavenly notification.
[ EXP +10, +1 strength]
[level up]
[ +20 HP, +20 strength, +2 stamina, +2 intelligence, +2 dexterity, +2 Mana]
"Pumpkin, bite me and put poison in me fast," he said while moving here and there instantly, his strength and speed were way better than before.
Pumpkin knew his poison would not hurt his master so he did as he was told. It took seconds for the fangs to get inside the skin and the poison went inside.
[ You have been poisoned, -0.5 HP per second]
"Your poison is better now pumpkin, good job"
They went directly to the merchant.
"Oh...what do you have today? A snake, wolf, or oh a boar"
He said with expectation.
"Uhh...today it's something unique," He said and materialized the centipede on the merchant's table.
The merchant got dumbfounded and looked at the corpse as if seen a ghost.
"Where? Where did you get this most important thing, How did you kill this thing?!"
"I killed it, tell me fast how much se"
"Boy, do you know these centipedes are found in the area where only level 5s are allowed to go?" He said skeptically.
Amil didn't know what to say.
"But it's level 2 and was in the inner forest where level 2s are allowed."
"I will give you 200 gold coins, all the parts are intact and they all are used for something. But you have to go tell the leader what happened."
Amil's eyes sparkled as he heard the price. He was just leaving but the merchant kept pestering him to marry his daughter.
He went to the leader directly.
"Come in" the domineering voice of the leader came from inside.
He went inside and looked at the leader who was busy writing something. The leader looked at him for some while and then the snake.
"So you leveled up again," He said with a mild smile. "I need to have a report of what you did in the forest to get this much EXP in such a short while if you don't mind"
Amil didn't mind and told him everything honestly, the leader listened to him with interest.
"You are very good at using your mind and the fighting style's good too, your snake is also strong for his level. Don't let it die, if you let him evolve he will be the best comrade you will ever find."
"Sir, one more thing, I killed a level 2 centipede today at the inner forest."
The leader furrowed his brow and asked "How much in of the inner forest are you talking about?"
"Where you allowed me to go, sir, in the level 2 area?"
"Hm...this is strange. There was no centipede seen in level 2 before. For now, we can say that it crawled from its birthplace near the level 2 area or you would have definitely not survived.
"Keep working heart, like this you will catch up to Emin in no time."
They talked a little more, Amil got his permission to leave for the level 3 area. He sent pumpkin to the level 1 area for eating and himself went back home.
"Welcome home~"
"You said you were not going to come back for some days?"
"Yeah, there were some complications," He told her everything and she was shocked out of her mind.
"You are not hurt right!? Those centipedes are very dangerous"
"yeah no worries, the leader said it was just born so he was not that dangerous or I would have definitely died."
"Okay...Sigh that's a relief. By the way, how is your sword leveling going?"
"It hasn't leveled up since then, I am still stuck at level 5 of it.."
"Hm...I know, you are not having much battle experience with the sword, you use it as a means to the end. You know, let's spar."
For the day, they spared for many hours making Amil realise how proficient she was in fighting. She even taught him some thrusting techniques. When they went back home, they saw pumpkin all bloodied in the lobby not moving.
Amil freaked out and went towards him, after inspecting him he sighed in relief.
The blood on pumpkin was of others, his body was bloated from the excess food again but no injuries. Pumpkin got 60 EXP from milling the snakes. He was like a king there with his level. Another 100 EXP and he would be level 3 too.
The next day, Amil went to the level 3 inner forest, the pressure increased a little but it was nothing in front of Amil.
After just entering, he didn't know how good his luck was, the boar he fought as a level 1 was there in front of his eyes.
" Pumpkin this is the one" He said as he dashed at the boar, the boar noticed him and activated his skill. Amil knew that the skill was tackle, so he too activated the skill. He clashed with the boar with his shoulder which made a load sound.
BAM!
The boar was confuse as the lizard in front of him was unscathed, not even a scratch on him. He put his sword in the space ring and went with hand to hand combat for the first time while not using his nails.
He punched the the boar on it's long nose making him snort and step back a little. Amil didn't stop as he started punching the shit out of the boar. The boar's body was all battered, just then he saw a snake on the tail of the lizard. On the first look, he knew why the snake was there.
Amil just kept beating the boar till he was not able to get up.
[ Skill hand-to-hand combat beginner(level 1) gained ]
He got the notification he was waiting for and started fidgeting with the status, he knew that the boar was on it's death bed and could not attack more.
The boar was just looking at the lizard with complex emotion, he was feeling his life leaving every second. He knew it was time to take the tough decision.
It got up with all the might it had left, Amil looked at him with furrowed brows and was just going to attack with his nails but what he saw next made him dumbfounded.
The boar was kneeling with his legs straight and head down.
[ The wild boar wants to make a master-servant contract with you, accept it?]
"What the actual fuck" Amil didn't know how to react but he knew that if he didn't act quickly, the boar was going to die.
He accepted it in an instant and went for giving the boar the healing potions.
[ Master-Servant contract succesful]
[You can look at the wild boar's status and name it]
[ Skill Beast Tamer(level 1) Acquired]
Amil ignored the notifications and went to the boar, he made it drink 2 healing potions forcefully.
After some ragged breathing, the boar fell unconscious leaving all of them with complex emotions.
" How did you know about that contract pumpkin?" He asked but only got a frown from pumpkin.
"Nevermind, I will ask you after you get some intelligence stat, you idiot snake"
Amil decided to take the Boar to his territory, he made up his mind, picked up th boar and went running.
After reaching the territory, he placed the boar on the big rock gently. The boar was unconscious and Amil could feel the emotions of it, anxiety and fear were the most he could understand.
Amil just waited for the boar to get up, he had learnt how to make fire and made a bonfire quickly.
After cutting the wolf flesh into square pieces, he directly placed them on sticks around the bonfire.
That day, pumpkin tried the roasted flesh for the first time and Amil could literally see hearts shaped in his eyes.
