*A few days after the Hawkening*
A large blood red rat crawled through the underbrush; looking for seeds, nuts, berries, or even small dead animals to look for something to eat. It passed a rather large bush, as it turned away a black shadow shot out from the bush and bit into the rat''s neck

The snake hissed its pleasure, not only for its level up and meal, but also for confirming its theory that depending on what you did, you would get different stats for each level up, roughly.

Another benefit to thinking about issues....... Oh come on, no bonus for that bit of wisdom, danmit.
While grumbling the snake thought "STATUS".

Things were looking up...... Crap that means something bad was going to happen.
*RRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
There it is. The snake slithered away from the rat with sadness and fear. He looked back and saw it, a giant crimson rat standing five feet tall on all fours and eight feet long from nose to tail. Shit. THe mouse started charging after the snake, its eyes blood shot.
The snake slithered faster its mind seeming to remember that something like this had happened earlier. As he was remembering he felt a spike of its pain in its tail.

The snake felt panic and slithered faster. Looking back he saw that a section of its body missing, charred black flesh with a stump and fire coming off the rat''s fangs. Ironnically losing the weight of the back of its body allowed it to flee away from the rat. Suddenly the rat whipped its tail hitting the snake into a tree.

As he tried to recover the rat lumbered over slowly. Suddenley a loud crash was heard and a large brown-red bear struck the rat on its side tearing into the shoulder. The rat whipped its tail hitting the bear in the head knocking it off its shoulder. The rat then turned pouncing aiming or the throat, the bear shifted causing the rat to bite into its shoulder. The bear bellowed in pain and started hammering the rat with its paws. When one paw hit the rats head pushing it away, a chunk of the bear''s shoulder going with it. The bear pushed forward knocking the rat onto its back,the bear wentfor the kill. It pounced on the rat, its good paw tearing the rats face apart, meanwhile the rat backclaws tearingopen the bears stomach.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Suddenly a black snake burried itself into thethe bears neck.
