Miku finally looks at the updated stats as she slowly stretches." Next, let's find out the difference as I test out the new upgrades." Miku slowly sniffs at the air as she listens to her surroundings. The sounds and smells hit her much more as she focused, the earthy smells and sounds of creatures filled her senses.
Miku tunes out all the unnecessary sounds one by one. The squirrel cracking open nuts, the chirping birds, and the occasional roar in the distance all fade as Miku listens for running water.
As she does this, the very faint sound of a trickle is heard way off in the distance; Miku focuses on that direction and continues to sniff as the muscles in her legs slowly contract and Miku's posture changes.
In the next second, Miku bolts through the trees and underbrush, jumping rocks and boulders with the use of parkour, her new agility showing as while she is doing all this, she is running at about 33 Mph, only slightly slower than the average boar's charge.
Meanwhile, the smell of running water gets closer as the mud, twigs and rocks in the area look flattened, making a very subtle animal trail. Miku suddenly tackles into a blur that suddenly jumps from a bush, but as she slowly stumbles and rolls on the ground due to the sudden impact, the blur is launched a few feet.
The smell of blood hits Miku's nose as she slowly gets up and dusts herself off a dull pain in her chest." Great, just excellent now I'm even more covered in filth. The heck did I hit? It felt small, but boy did I hit it hard Because I don't even see it."
Miku slowly follows the scent of blood, checking out the tiny dent in her exoskeleton as she does and finally finds what she hit and what made the dent." oh shit, it's that weird rabbit-like thing from before. But damm, look at that busted horn. It must have tried to attack me and failed."
" I mean, I took that attack head-on going stupidly fast and walked away with a small dent. I bet that would have killed any ordinary human." Miku once again looks over her body and sighs."
"I really wish I knew just where I stand in strength and whatnot compared to other things. I mean, I can kind of tell that would have hurt me a lot more before the upgrades, but that doesn't help." Miku picks up the rabbit as she is deep in thought and stares at it, examining the creature in her hand. A prompt shows up.
*New function found. Would you like to spend 100BM to unlock it?*
Miku just blinks a bit, not expecting the sudden notice. Mentally selecting yes, the prompt disappears, and a new one opens *Skill panel unlocked*
Miku sighs and decides to check it out later as the sound and smell of fresh running water get closer. "Finally! Now I can clean myself off and finally feel clean." Miku says as she sees the beautiful scene in front of her of a small river. The water rushes down the river over smooth stones and under a fallen tree. The sounds of the occasional fish jumping could be heard.
Miku smiles wide and laughs before jumping into the river, plunging slightly into it as it's not very deep before standing. Miku then slowly cleans herself off the sticky, almost brown blood being washed off and down the river.
After what feels like an hour, Miku smiles, and she slowly walks to the edge of the river and sits on the bank, her tail swaying back and forth with a fish on the end of it. " Ahh, that felt great, a little cold but still way better than nothing, I say." Miku slowly munches on the fish as she pulls up the new panel, the skills panel finding only one thing.
Miku blinks as the only thing there is the skill: appraisal. Before too long, she growls out. "really are you kidding me? Now you give me this aren't I supposed to start off with this? You have got to be fucking with me." After venting a bit, Miku looks at how much it costs to unlock the skill.
*Unlock skill appraisal for 10BM* Miku mentally selected yes and tried to use the skill and found out that as she was looking at the rabbit corpse, now info about it filled her mind.
Info: Corpse. Miku blinks, absolutely shocked, before deflating. "I guess I should have kinda seen that coming as this stupid system has yet to make anything easier on me." As Miku decides on what to do next as she eats, the sun can somewhat be seen through the canopy, slowly descending.
