Giving a Paw

<Well~ Since I have a system in me, maybe should also ... an inventory!>

A hologram appeared in front of Alex in which it showed 10 empty frames, he opened his eyes in surprise and raised a leg while shouting happily <YEAH!! >

Alex carefully grabbed an iron nugget and put it in his inventory, as if the hologram was a liquid absorbed the nugget, Alex looked with a big smile at what happened and had an idea when he thought about storing his things in a looser way. He just has to touch what he wants to keep in his inventory and * Pop! * The item disappears, he can do the same to remove the iron nuggets from his inventory.

The stomach roared and thus making Alex remember him because he was there, he continued to advance but this time it took much less to integrate with the darkness.

[+ 50Pts in Stealth]

[Update: Stealth E (0/1000)]

<Sweet! > Alex looked happy at the update as he kept moving in stealth mode on the edge of the cave road.

At some point in Alex's trip, he could hear the sound of a conflict, he can hear the growl of several beasts, they were so powerful that they made his back bristle with fear, but curiosity dominated him and he continued advancing with little steps, the fight was heard more and more frantically.

Alex advanced to a crossroads where he can hear the fight being on the other side of the corner, little by little Alex approached until he arrived and began to show his head.

A Ratcek gang faces a puma, which only has two stripes that start in its red eyes to its legs.

<That's not a puma!! He's my cousin!> Alex looked surprised at the Striped Cat [Giant], the size is like that of a puma or maybe bigger, he stayed in his place amazed by his future.

The combat is between a small group of Ratceks and an Adult Striped Cat, apparently the striped cat is injured by another combat, from which he emerged victorious by the body of a wolf behind him and the Ratceks are trying to eat the corpse, but the striped cat does not let them eat their food, which led to a confrontation.

<If I'm going to be that size in the future, would explain of these ugly rats> Alex thought as he kept slowly approaching behind the rats.

The Ratceks had been attacking the Striped Cat from all sides and they were having the advantage, all for the fatal wounds of the striped cat that he obtained when facing the wolf.

Alex ran out of hiding and made a blow to the back of the rats that were distracted and had not noticed him, but the impact of Alex's claws against the stone armor only caused a sharp sound.

The rats screamed in fright and tried to move away from Alex to just enter the jaws of the adult striped Cat.

The other rats did not stare at what happened and used their tails to try to cut Alex into small pieces and save his countrymen from the jaws of the other enemy, Alex quickly dodged the attack with just one step to the side and shortly after take a leap back to avoid another stone blade.

The injured cat only released a bite to the nearest rat with which he divided the rat in two, leaving behind the lower part of the rat on the ground, the stone armor became useless to find the powerful fangs of the adult striped cat .

While Alex helped distract the rats so that the striped cat could eliminate them, the latter lost its reddish glow in his eyes while receiving Alex's help with appreciation.

Alex helped the adult cat, by biting or stepping on the tails of the rats and then running to dodge their dangerous attacks, and when they forget about him, Alex takes the opportunity to use his deadly claws on them, little by little, the number of rats decreased and Alex learned where to hit with the guide of the adult cat, when it indicated where to hit, to be able to cross the stone armor of the rats.

Shortly after an intense fight, the rats fled with the tail between their legs when they saw that they had lost more than half of their members in the confrontation.

<Run cowards!! Hehe, Cousin we did beat them up!> Alex looked at the happy adult cat, but only for a few seconds, until he watched as the latter got over it.

<Holy Moly! I forgot that the dungeon wants me dead and don't know if my cousin is too ... What hell?> Alex meowed loudly by losing control over his body, shortly after being lifted off the ground.

The adult striped cat turned out to be female and looked at Alex as a baby without a litter.

...

[Pov Female Cat]

...

She had gone out for food for her litter, which were hidden in a crack in the wall in the cave.

She came back a little hurt from fighting other striped cats on the road and some rats, but

when she returned she only found a wolf, who was eating the remains of one of her young.

Dominated by rage, she faced the wolf, she kept fighting even if she had the odds against her but she still managed to win, but the smell of blood attracted the rats which took the pieces of their offspring and ate them in front of her, angry she killed them, but the rats kept coming.

Seeing the number of enemies, she thought she will die there, but suddenly a baby came out of the shadows and began to help distract the rats, with little help, she managed to eliminate the rats that was harassing her.

The little boy used his small claws to hit the rats, but since he is still a baby, he could not cross the stone armor and could only bite the tails of the rats to harm them or distract them, the little boy looked proud every Once he hit.

While the little one helped her, a voice in her mind whispered to kill him, that he had to die, she had always heard this voice, she felt a connection with the voice since she can remember, but this time she did not , she looked at her young in the toddler, which has managed to survive so far and she can see that he does not even have the smell of breast milk like hers young.

Resisting the voice, she did not kill him and decided to take care of him in his last moments and be his mother, she wanted to give him at least the knowledge of what it is to have a mother, even if it is not for a long time, so she lifted him from the neck and she take him to the crack where she had given birth to her children ...

With patience and affection she began to clean the toddler for a few hours, until the feeling of sleep began to dominate her, as a last will she offered to breastfeed him and give him her essence of life.

She baptized the toddler with her milk while she dropped into a deep sleep, a darkness began to surround her and while this darkness surrounded her, she could hear the singular meowings of her three offspring, she began to hear how they were calling her, and she went after them in her dream.

Shortly after his body began to become particles of light and disappeared into the air while leaving behind a small necklace.

[Alex's pov]

Alex stared like what he considered a cousin[Male], turned out to be a cousin[Female] and she decided to treat him as if he were her son and she gave him some maternal love in her last moments, the feeling of protection, love and peace provoked a strong knot in Alex's throat as he watched her disappear, the feeling reminded him of the family he had lost and for a moment he had had something similar, although it was a small moment, that caused the feelings that Alex had been suppressing, to begin to fuss , but the drop that spilled the glass was the object left behind by her and the information that the object system gave him.

It is impossible for a beast to turn its body into an object and it is even more impossible for it to generate a protective effect, which can withstand more damage than she could bear with its body ... and that is why it is in itself a miracle.

Alex stayed inside the crack for a few more hours while he was crying for having his feelings out of control.
