Sleep.

As the 'wife' of the monster looked at me I got up in an instant and this made the bush shake.

The first thing I did was walk backwards since my body was coated by the bush I was using to hide, I at least had time to do that while the tiger rushed at me using her right claw aiming at my stomach.

It was not hard to dodge using the steps that I learned from my father-in-blood however. The attacks continued with only fails, my body was smooth in the movements like a snake.

Her face only got angrier while missing all the swipes with those sharp nails, the more she went to attack me, the more I got further away from the original scene. Not that it matters, the main enemy was already dead, my level 10 would be arriving shortly after some time.

The only problem right now was this rat getting on the way, my small figure only helped me dodging and the sleep I got from this last night was quite good meaning my stamina was high for some action.

'I am done dude...' Getting tired of this shit, I use the remaining dagger made of poison in my hand to transform into a gaseous mode as I threw it to his face.

As expected the empty feeling came forcing me to suck in a lot of air that made my movements slow down a little but the tiger did not had the chances to make a move since in her face there was a green fog that invaded her nose, eyes and mouth.

Reaching the lungs made the process easier, she did inhale paralysing poison so the deal ended there. Sure... I could not finish the job this time for real, but, that is not a problem.

Turning around I started walking away only to my sense react making me do my last dodge. I distanced myself from her a little and looked at her.

"You can move heh... if we see each other again, let's finish this... if at that time you are not evolved, just give up your life." With that said I sprinted out of the dispute with only one thing in mind.

[Experience: 49% -> 100% -> 7%

Contragulations! You leveled up!

You received 1 mutation point.

You're ready to evolve.

The next 9 levels will not give you any mutation points.]

"My body is all sore for using too much mana on it..." Nash spoke out loud thinking of his usage of mana on his kind of fragile body. However now, hopefully this body that he owns will evolve smoothly.

The sky was dark again while raining and thundering. Nash had his mana pool filled and it was time to do business.

His belly was full of rabbit meat, it was honestly delicious for him even if it didn't give him experience anymore, only a little. Though he missed his wine, or even... milk. He started to thinks it's because of his age that he thinks this way.

Nevermind that, he went to the mouth of his cave and waved his hand up using mana to move the soil up to cover the entrance only leaving a hole on top to let the moon light breach in.

All this time he was grinning like a madman as he got ready to what he wanted. With this he imaginated that it will be possible to enter a city easier and earlier, indeed, he was curious.

What mattered was that after evolving his body was going to get stronger, the function worked referent to what it is your race. As a snake Nash expected that his body will mutate to be akin to a snake, he didn't think that he will turn into one or just become a look a like.

He is at least sure in one thing, after finishing his digestory system will at least accept his own poison and his fangs will get bigger like vampires. Probably it will not be retractable but still... what is the use of this?

With eyes and teeths shining the little kid went all the way to the back of the cave, it was very dark but it didn't matter, he would be unconscious anyway.

Not wasting anymore time Nash lied down on the cold stone - 'System, mutate my nose, I choose the 'Sensible Flair'. When ready make me evolve.' With that in his mind the system made its last comments after a while.

[Mutation finished.

Your sense of smell was improved.]

[It is recommended that the living being evolve in a safe place.

Are you sure you want to continue?]

'Yes.' Nash answered. All his senses got shut down as he was lying down on his back, as the process started his skin started to look like a melted skin, after some time it turned white encasing him.

"Neal... we found bodies... the kids' bodies." Arthur said, he was a close friend to Nash's father and he came to his house to deliver a bad news. After the disappearance of the kids, his friend's son too had gone missing along with a discovery of a dead body on Neal's own backyard.

'Could it be the said group attacked again? Who and why they want the kids?' That's the type of stuff that went through his mind as he worried about his son and the supposed killer and kidnapper on the loose.

"C'mon man, you... got to see them, they look a little bloodied." Arthur spoke interrupting his friend's thoughts. As a previous knight, maybe Neal could find something akin to a clue.

"I'm right behind you." When Neal said that, Arthur started walking and Nash's father followed close after.
