The first opponent

It's a difficult choice. On the one hand they are my competitors for biomass and also for mating.... Stop! What am I thinking?! Come on, Netsuya, you're a former human. Think harder. But what if I can understand them and hunt with them? And if not, I'll be outnumbered... That's it, I'll kill them.

- System, what's the average level of people in the world?

[Analyzing... Wrong. Unfortunately, I do not have this information, but I can say the average level of people entering this dungeon is level 15].

So we're almost twice as weak as humans? Or maybe it's the monsters? Or is there something special about humans? I don't know, but I have to go do the mission. As soon as I went, I was a little awkward because I was walking on all four legs. But after a while I got the hang of it and walked a little faster, it probably looked like I had toilet paper stuck to my paws. 

I stopped abruptly and shocked and looked in all directions and was shocked that I had full vision. I was overjoyed that my vision was healthy and I was ready to cry on the spot, but I can't, I can't relax until I feel safe. 

I can look in almost all directions without turning my head, and I can't see colors, but I can see everything in different shades of orange. Let's move away from this because I came to the egg and was going to analyze it, but I didn't succeed, although I was able to analyze my egg.

- System, why can't I analyze this egg?

[You do not have the skill to analyze this egg, you can acquire skills during evolution for biomass points, also there is another way. It is to create or self learn skills like humans do, so it is highly not recommended for the user in this situation]

Create a skill? You've got to be kidding me, okay then *bite. Once again my jaws were soaked with some energy and at the same time I felt a little tired.

[Sp: 9/9 hunger, 5/9 fatigue]

My strike was crushing to this egg and my newborn jaws quickly sank into its contents and soon I fumbled for something solid and then a thin and quiet crunch was heard.

*[Crackling]

[Eggs destroyed: 1/5 ]

[You killed a lizard, gain 2 xp]

 Hehehe 2 xp from these helpless monsters, that's free experience! And I happily began the genocide of these little guys, even though they are my relatives.... Experience is more important than them, because if the strongest of the clutch survives, or the one who was born earlier, he has a better chance of becoming strong. With that I explained the genocide of my relatives I went to the next one and activated the *bite again. Again there was a rather familiar crunch and I got a notification.

[Eggs destroyed: 2/5 ]

[You killed a lizard, 2 xp gained]

I can kill three lizards and get level two, I thought happily, but then I felt very tired and weak all over my body.

- Hey, system, why am I so weak?

[User has sp: 3/9 left and therefore your body needs some rest.]

Damn, this is kinda messing up my plans to gain experience quickly.

[It is recommended that the user rest for a while to restore your fatigue stamina. It will take 20 minutes of rest and 2 stamina of hunger to restore 1 unit]

- All right then, system, let me know if anything serious happens.... 

My young body was more exhausted than I really thought originally.

After a while.

Wake up, Netsuya. You passed out from fatigue, but now you've recovered and can finish the task.... THE MISSION!

- system how much time I have left to complete the task and show me my sp.

[ 18:53 ]

[Sp: 5/9 hunger, 5/9 fatigue]

I've been asleep for almost 40 minutes and I've got just under 20 minutes left. I need to speed up, but before I do that, I need to do some yada yada yada. That's better, now let's get on with these babies. This time. I'm not using the bite, I'm doing it without the ability. 

I had an average attack of 8, so I easily broke the shell and dipped it back into the sweet water, I even wanted to drink it for a moment, but I quickly gave up. 

It was a little different this time because I didn't use the bite, so I did less damage, but I kept trying to bite, and soon I heard the crunch and pulled out what I had grabbed the lizard embryo for. I was lucky enough to get it right in the neck and it died quickly and painlessly. Ew, it's so gross and it's covered in this slime. He's like a shriveled version of me and he's almost half my size.

[Eggs destroyed: 3/5 ]

[You killed a lizard, 2 xp gained]

So focus on the task at hand, Netsuya, I have to finish this easy task and eat. I haven't eaten much since waking up, but what am I going to eat if there's nothing but lizard corpses around? Maybe them? Probably yes, and I'll have to eat them for my survival. A little digression before I finish my task and I'm back to the-- Wait, why is there a hole in it? Was someone born? Maybe he or she made a hole in the light while I was asleep. That's no good. We have to find it. Found it!

I jumped aside as I was attacked from the darkness. Uhh!? He's got a bite too, because there's a little crater where I was standing. What the fuck is this?! Nobody told me I had to fight. I've got enough energy for three bites and I'll have to use them wisely. I finally got a good look at him and he looked like me, only a little bigger in breadth. Hmmm, it must have eaten my prey, I don't like it. I let out a low and angry growl at my relative.

- Grrrrr. 

- Haaaaah!

He must have realized my intention and relaxed a bit, and a moment later he attacked me. He quickly shortened the distance with some skill , he couldn't shorten the distance that fast and by my standards there was about 1 meter between us I quickly dodged or so I thought.

*[Bleep]

[Hp: 9/14]

Wha-damn, it hit me and bit off a small piece of my flesh. How was he able to cover that distance quickly ? How about a jerk?

[Jerk: allows you to quickly move 1 meter in one sp]

Why the hell didn't I think to study my skills? Stupid, Netsuya, focus! A vicious and painful growl came out of my mouth, and I looked at my kin as an enemy for the first time.

* growling * 

When I saw him and looked at his mouth, I swear I saw his bloody smile. It just pissed me off so much that I mindlessly activated the *rip and *bite at the same time. I'll think about the kickback after I rip that smug mouth off!
