Bacon!!!
*Munch, munch!
'...'
*Munch, munch, munch!
'...'
*Munch, munch, munch, munch!
'WHO AND WHAT IS MAKING THAT ANNOYING NOISE??!' Rem was grumpy, and she poked her head out of the bush to look at what was making that noise.
Rem could see a boar with two small, curved horns that were estimated around six inches long, near its nose. The boar was eating some fruits that probably fell from the tree.
'Urg... Are all monsters this loud or is it just this pig? Seriously, this pig woke me up so early in the morning!' Rem complained.
The two suns could be seen rising a little.
{It's 5 a.m.}
'That early...? Oh, wait. This world uses this system of time too?'
{Yes, you're correct.}
'Hm... That's good to know.' Rem looked at the boar, wondering if the boar would taste like bacon.
Although the boar was more than triple her size in length and width, Rem wasn't scared at all because she had encountered many monsters that were twenty times larger than her in her past life. Rem decided to check the boar's stats.

'Compared to the rabbit, this boar has a lot of HP, but its MP is extremely low. In my past life, the boars were slow. Their skin was hard as a rock. If you get hit by one, you may get stunned, bleed, or even worse, die. I can't see it's STR, DEF, DEX, or any other attributes... The boar's weakness is its belly.' Rem closed the boar's stats and devised a plan on how she would fight the boar without getting hit.
'I can sneak up on the boar while it's still eating... After that, I'll use Lightning Bolt to stun it. If it doesn't stun the boar, I'll have to use Shadow Bind then use Wind Slash on it.' Rem thought, activating her Stealth as she snuck up on the boar.
While the boar was busy eating, Rem used Lightning Bolt. As expected, her attack didn't stun the boar. Instead, it angered the boar. It suddenly used his right, front leg, pulling it like an ox who was about to charge at her. It charged at Rem in a straight line, pointing its horns at Rem. Rem tried dodging the boar's charged attack, moving towards the left.
Thankfully, Rem managed to avoid letting the boar get a critical hit on her. However, Rem ended up getting a wound on her right hind leg.
'I... I got hit??? I'm sure I dodged it. Could this be from the boar's skill? I can't fight like this... I'll use Heal for now. One little scratch from the boar made me like this. I lost a little more than 500 HP! I need to be more careful...' Rem ran near a tree and waited for the boar to charge at her again.
Just when the boar was about to hit Rem, Rem climbed up the tree, causing the boar's horns to get stuck on the tree. Then, Rem climbed down from the tree, got closer to the boar, and used Wind Slash two times, attacking the boar's stomach. Finally, the boar died, its two horns still stuck on the tree.

'Dang... I leveled up six whole levels from just killing one boar???' Rem was in disbelief, dismantling the boar.
[+1 Forest Boar Hide]
[+1 Forest Boar Horn]
[+1 Raw Forest Boar Meat]
[+1 F Rank Mana Stone]
Rem everything in her inventory, leaving the Raw Forest Boar Meat on the ground.
'That was quite dangerous... Well, at least I leveled up six times. I guess it was worth it.' Rem thought, opening her status screen.

'The boar is easy to defeat, as long as you dodge all of its attacks and know where to attack it. Come to think of it, I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I'll probably just eat two or three times a day. Maybe just once a day is enough. I'm not hungry, but I want to see if the boar meat would taste like bacon... It's technically bacon after I fry it, right? I can't use fire magic though... Hmm, lightning magic might work!'
Looking at the boar, Rem used Lightning Bolt on the raw boar meat.
'Um... I think I burnt it a bit... Oops—' Rem sighed, remembering how she was never good at cooking.
On the day the monsters appeared and on the day she defeated the Demon King, she only ate food that was could be heated up or eaten instantly. For example, a cup of noodles.
'Oh, well. It should still taste like bacon. It shouldn't matter if I burnt it a little.' Rem concluded, tearing off a piece of cooked boar meat.
*Munch, munch...
'This is delicious!!! I don't think I can finish all of this... I'll just store it in my inventory.'
Rem ate until she was full. There were still some leftovers, so Rem stored them in her inventory. After eating, Rem decided to hunt some more boars.
'I need more bacon! 001, how large is my inventory?'
{I'm not sure.}
'Aren't you supposed to know how large it is? The system is the one that provides me this inventory. You're part of the system. You should know...' Rem deadpanned.
{You're correct. However, I don't know these details.}
'Alright... Time to hunt boars!' Rem changed the subject, entering the non-dark forest near the lake.
After hunting three more boars, Rem leveled up six times. It didn't take long until Rem reached level 20. She opened her inventory.

'I sure have a lot of stuff...' Rem thought.
{The Shop Has Been Opened.}
'Hm...? What is this?' Rem wondered, checking her status.
