《I’m a wolf but I can level up? (Discontinued )》 Chapter 1 Wait why do I have paws! ¡°Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!¡± I thought as I try to run away on all fours? Having nothing but left feet as I try to haul my ass out of the cave. Believing it to be safe I decided I needed a nap from the fucking shit storm I was finding myself in. Until My body was being bitten by large ants, they were about 5¡± but their pincers hurt like a mother fucker. Realizing running was useless I started to roll I could hear small cracking noises as the ant''s exoskeleton was being smashed. ~Bull Ant killed 2EXP gained~ x9 Finally catching my breath I look to the notifications that appeared in my vision. *Sighing* I examined my body to see the damage these fuckers caused. Giant welts we appearing all across my body. My Wolf body to be exact. I have grayish hair some spots are black and others light grey almost white. I got large canines which feel awkward, oh and no fucking thumbs, I got paws. I mean what in the literature fucking fuck am I supposed to do with paws!? Thank god there¡¯s no pornhub here, finding a small stream I find that I have white eyes. After learning how to lap up some water and finding a shady area to rest I decided to reflect on what the fuck has happened to me. I was heading home from my last class for the day when I got a message from one of my friends to tell me there was a bonfire. So stopping at my dorm and saying goodbye to my lazy ass cat. I pick up a thirty pack of beer and head out of town. Halfway there my trucks power steering goes out. The end result is my truck flips, I die. I¡¯m an atheist at heart so when I find myself at desk Looking at a ball of floating energy I start to reassess. ¡°Leo Kirk; age 21 recently deceased, relatives, father: #####(Deceased). Mother: ##### (alive). Enrolled at UNM under the exercise science program. Diseases: HPV, Asthma. Heritage: Scottish, Native America. Reincarnation type: Animal.¡± ¡±HPV? Hmm, which girl was it?¡± Weird how that¡¯s the first thing I remark. It¡¯s a pretty barebones summary of my life no descriptors though.nothing to say how much of a nerd I was or that my favorite beer is cheaper than a whores spare time. Regardless I need answers. ¡°Umm hello, are you God? An why am I oddly calm I feel like I should be freaking out.¡±You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. ¡±I am the system administrator responsible for sorting out the dead on Earth.

The languages sound nice but arcane, that means magic!'' finalizing my choices I look back to the system energy ball. ¡°I''m done,¡± I say but no reply is given but the ball turns green and the world fades away. Now back to to my present self after awaking In the body of a wolf, looks like the administrator created a wolf body for me. Finding my self less depressed about dying and shocked to be in a wolf body I try opening my system interface Name: Leo Kirk Race: Wolf -stats- Level: 1 strength: 8 Agility: 12 Stamina:11 Stamina Regeneration:10 2/Sec Mana:10 Mana Regeneration:10 2MP/Sec Mana gates: 1/14 inventory: 5 okay, don¡¯t know what¡¯s normal for a wolf or a human. Looking at strength a little bit a description popped into view Strength (STR): increases the damage of all melee attacks and decreases total damage inflicted on the user. Agility (AGI): increases the overall damage of all attacks affects evasion, acrobatics, and stealth. Stamina(STA): endurance or energy the body can output will be used if mana usage is exceeding mana pool causes ill effects Mana (MP): the power to use special abilities or "spells". Magic is usually measured in magic points ormanapoints. Mana Regeneration and Stamina Regeneration: how fast you get your shit back Mana Gates: mana blockers, limiting the amount of mana-flow throught the mana system Inventory: extradimensional storage space CHAPTER 2 Goblin? Well shit, I can become one overpowered wolf. That¡¯s if this worlds population is normal. Considering there¡¯s mana in this world ~groaning~ I highly doubt it. Exiting the system interface, I take in my surrounding. I started close to that massive mountain ridge not a lot of vegetation, becoming less dense away from the stream. Thinking back to those survival shows I remember that flowing water was safe to drink. Laughing at myself because I¡¯ve already drunk its water well let¡¯s hope nothings shitting upstream. Seeing my notification blinking I open it seeing the experience I gained from smashing those goddam ants 18/100 Exp till level 2. At least those fucks were good for something. I''m not too hungry but ill need to deal with sooner or later. Venturing downstream, learning to maneuver this body of mine I stay close to the tree line scanning my surrounds being as quiet as I can. 30mins go bye when a notification goes off in head nearly making me yelp in alarm. Skill acquired ¡®Stealth¡¯- novice level 1; 5% decrease to sound made while in stealth. ¡°Hell yeah!¡± I mutter but it comes out as gibberish like those huskie videos. Another 20 mins go by and I¡¯ve yet to find something to eat when I hear a break in the foliage in front of me. Lowering myself and sticking to the shadows I peer in the direction of the noise. Soon a small ugly looking creature at least 100cm tall. Green skin with pointed ears. A descriptor appears next to goblins head -Goblin- Level 2 ¡®Goblins are a blight on the world, quick breeding and fast gestation period of three months, mature quickly. Often carry bags know as Goblin pouches where they carry their valuables. Prefer to act in groups and avoid battle when alone.¡¯ Deciding to creep closer I soon catch a whiff of the most rancid thing I¡¯ve ever smelt in my life. Shit, body odor, and grime are just radiating off this SOB. Deciding to breathe through my mouth. I pause as I remember the goblin descriptor ¡®prefer to act in groups.¡¯ Deciding to circle the goblin''s position I find he¡¯s alone. This might be my chance to gain experience. Finding the goblin once again, crouching by the river filling up a water flask I creep forward as slow as possible can. Gaining a level in stealth in the process.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Thinking about It if I can sneak attack his neck, hopefully ripping his throat in the process I''d earn a quick kill. Thinking of biting into the goblins flesh I find bile rising to my throat, forcing it back down as I increase my pace. Entering a range where I can lunge at the green fuck, the sound of a twig snaps under my paw after a quick pause I lunge. The goblin who surprisingly isn¡¯t deaf jolts upright. Seeing that my jaws won¡¯t reach its neck I clamp down on its shoulder. The Goblin lets out piercing scream. Blood fills my mouth like a fist slams in my nose. Reeling back in pain I let go, my mouth is filled with warm, hot blood it¡¯s sickening. Separating from each other we glare at one another I see that the goblin is missing a good chunk of skin and blood pours freely from the wound. One hand to his should the other retrieves a dagger. Fuck, he won''t bleed out from that. I need a way to end this fast. I have magic! But I don¡¯t know how to use the bitch!!! The Goblin tired of our staring contest dashes towards me. ''Shit its hurt why is it rushing.¡¯ Panicking I lower myself as it raises its dagger to strike, I shoot under for its legs, a feeling of hot stinging pain tears through my shoulder. Wanting cry at the pain. I clamp down on its calf, feeling bones break and tearing a chunk of its leg off as I retreat. The goblin is yelling what should be cursing towards me. I examine my enemy. Blood spurting from its mangled calf blood rolling down its chest from my first attack. The Goblin Dropping to its knees I can tell it knows its dead. Eyes dull, face becoming flush from blood loss, I lock eyes with the bastard. It closes its eyes. ¡®you¡¯re dying why are you giving up? Fight me until you¡¯re dead!¡¯ the thought sends shivers through me in revulsion or ecstasy I don''t know. It''s heart-wrenching I thought I''d look down on killing. Shoving down my feelings I aim my next strike for its neck sprinting at the goblin, trying to ignore the pain in my shoulder I feel my teeth sink into its neck. Being so close I don¡¯t need a notification to tell me Its dead. -Gain 20 exp for slain goblin- CHAPTER 3 Cultivation? Looking at my kill I don''t force down the bile this time. After dunking my head in the stream I try regaining my composure, all be it on wobbler legs. 20 exp for risking my life oh joy. looking to my kill I get a prompt from the system -Do you wish to loot ''Goblin''? Contents will be transferred over to inventory- YES/NO Mentally clicking the yes button. looking to my inventory I found that the dagger, its loot pouch, flask, and a small blue marble was inside. Focusing on the blue sphear. -''Mana stone: found in all beings size and grade depends on the number of mana gates unlocked. Being a mana pool solidifies on death. floods the body with mana it contains if consumed. Easy mana restorative or extra mana to break open another gate''- ''Mana Gates? ill look into that later I have to decide what I''m going to do with this body. I''ve got no fire to cook it but, I''m a wolf know so wouldn''t eating it raw be alright?'' thinking it over I rather eat something that''s less rancid. I''m not that desperate, maybe if I get over the psychological hurdle ill be able to chow down. Knowing other predators will smell the blood here soon or later. I continue my trek downstream. Looking at the other items I refill the fucks flask in the stream. learning to hold it steady was the real hurdle. looking at the contents of the loot back in greatly depressed nothing fucker was using it to hold his flask nothing else. tossing it out of my inventory I continue. Hours later and reaching level 4 in stealth the sun is starting to set. Having noluck finding something to eat, I find a soft spot under a tree to rest. resolving to figure out this mana situation. Knowing about Anatomy due to my field of study, I try to find the mana in my body feeling 14 points within my body. one was Open watching it a blue stream was entering and exiting my body from it. Watching where the mana was flowing I found I gathering in a small area just like the marble just above my belly button. I have some control over it it''s really weird its like having holding sand in your palms very little slips through your fingers but quit paying attention spills away quickly. Gathering the mana and directing it to my cut. I tell it to heal.... nothing happens. frowning does it need a chant, I can''t form words!The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Forcing my self to be calm. Maybe it needs to be more detailed or the mana needs to know what to do. gathering mana around my cut again I start going over what is needed to happen. growing tissue attaching muscle back together. Feeling a warmness at the cut I look at not a lot but there was new tissue forming and the area around the cut was subsiding. -Spell Learned: FOCUSED HEAL -Skill Learned: Healing Lvl 1 (novice) - decrease to the mana cost of healing spells- congratulating myself for learning how to use this damm mana I let sarcastic snort think I''m the shit. letting my mana refill after a couple of seconds I go back to healing my cut. emptying my mana I feel drained my head is fuzzy. letting my mana refill helps to clear my head. Looking towards the area it''s completely healed no scar just a hairless line. Finishing the red bumps from those ants. thinking about doing the same to regrow the hair. Getting another notification and being amused at the system and my self I look to my mana gates. Looking to the closest mana gate from my mana pool I rack my brain with how to open it. Getting inspiration for poking it with a stick I gather my mana and force it on the gate. results: not shit it felt like I using a water gun to make a hole through a brick. Maybe need to erode it away by constantly throwing mana at it. Fuck that shit it''ll take to long. Gathering my mana once again I slam it into the gate as hard as I cant. A vibration echoes throughout my entire body after doing so and it kinda hurt. Ok so ramming it won''t work. wondering at what shapes I can make with my mana I create sharp needles, sending them flying. after my barrage, I see small cracks. Seeing my success I double down to send out count fewer mana needles. running my mana pool dry multiple times a large hole opens through the gate filling mana rush through I send one last attack. sending what remained of the gate flying. A Large rush of mana soon enters through the open gate. Such an addicting feeling. Realizing I have a notification I open it. -Mana Gate unlocked 2/14 opened- -Rewards: +1 to mana regeneration 5% increase to spell strength 100 EXP - Your mana control has increased- You have leveled Up +5 attribute points CHAPTER 4 Mana 5 Attribute points, wanting to get all my stats into more even I add two to strength. My mana pool is low at the moment so, I can''t spam cast spells. Two into mana and last going in stamina, I look over my stat sheet. -Name Leo- Level 2 (38/200EXP till level 3) STR 10 AGI 12 STA 12 STA/REGEN 10 2/Sec MANA 12 120MP MANA/REGEN 10 2MP/Sec Mana Gates opened 2/14 Skills: Stealth lvl 4 Healing lvl 1 Spells: FOCUS HEAL: does as the name implies heals the targeted area. Satisfied I drift to sleep. Waking up to the dawn and bird song I examine my body. It''s not a huge shift just my muscles feel bigger and tighter ready to react. Stamina I don''t know how to feel that change. the mana bar increased by 20 MP. If I can consistently increase my mana pool I should be a force to be reckoned with. Sleeping for the first time in this body I know I did something wrong, my body is stiff as shit. Sending out my focused heal my body is soon hale. Having a stronger body I just want to test it out. Lowering my front I feel my claws press against dirt. Exploding with a speed I''ve never felt I let out excited yips. clearing a fallen log I land wrong and go tumbling. The pain isn''t bad as I lay panting on my side. Ignoring my instinct to find some mud to roll in, I trek near the stream in search of food. two hours later I have a collection of nuts and berries stored in my inventory. I intentionally left out mushrooms I didn''t feel like testing my heal on poison just yet. walking into a clearing I smell a similar scent, trying not to shudder at the memory. I try searching for the direction it''s coming from. The smell gets stronger as I leave the stream and heading in its direction. Getting a notification, at the same time I see Goblins coming in and out of a cave. Finding a place to watch I find 10 goblins are hanging outside in small huts.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Skill Learned: Tracking level 1 (novice) - Increase to perception and smell making it easier to follow and distinguish scents Hours later I move further away from the encampment. I was able to see 2 more goblins coming out of the cave and that groups of three Goblins left to forage and hunt seems the member I killed made them increased their party size. Two groups would leave with the other half staying behind to watch camp. A few were close enough I was able to see their levels the hunting groups all had a level 3 goblin which given its larger size I could easily pick them out. I for certain can''t take on 3 Goblins head on I almost die from a level 2 that I had the drop on. no, I need a plan and new spells to let me one shot these fuckers. The next after finding myself some berries and nuts which isn¡¯t filling in the least I get to work using my mana. Trying to figure out where I should let my mana pour from my body. Lifting a paw I let my mana gather. A blue mist starts to form in my hand but it evaporates just as quickly. The mana so far has been responding to my will. Time to make a staple magic spell anyone would know back home. Gathering my mana again and focusing it into a ball I point my paw at a tree and envision the ball strike the tree. The mana floats away breaking apart a few feet away. Sighing I look replay what happened not enough speed and it broke apart as soon as it left my paw. One problem at a time first to stop it from breaking apart. Pouring as much mana in my paw and keeping it contained I will fly. Progress staying at the same speed it traveled further until breaking. This time I try pouring mana into the ball not letting it get bigger I soon find resistance letting my know this as much mana I can condense before it pops. Letting it fly it reaches the try before bouncing off. Checking that off my list now on to the next problem. Now to speed this bad boy up. So far I¡¯ve just been letting it fly by telling it to go. I can¡¯t throw it, my front limbs aren¡¯t going to allow that. Forming the mana into a ball I add a small spring made of mana behind it. Increasing the tension, I release the spring, the Ball erupts from my paw. A loud thwack and tree Innards later I get. -Spell learned: MANA BOLT: Firing a condensed ball of mana Skill Learned: Mana Manipulation level 1 (novice): User can shape mana to their will -increase to mana control mana moves easier to you will as levels increase "Hell yeah!" Still, the spell isn''t instant cast like want. At my regen rate, it takes 10 seconds to cast. I can most likely speed up the process. I can directly as the mana to both parts of the spell instantly just condensing the mana and loading the firing mechanism should take me down to 5 seconds. Putting theory to practice I find that making two different shapes at the same time is kinda hard. So, I comprise gathering the mana for both I create the spring then ball. More practice and a greater level in mana manipulation, I could cut the casting time drastically. Now that I got a ranged spell I need to find something better than bitting. My teeth are deadly. It would be normal if I didn''t find it disgusting. I start thing of ways to fight. If my bite doesn''t land or kill. I look at my claws. The damage they cause isn''t the greatest either. I need better claws and mana can do that for me. Forming larger claws with mana was easier to do since I know the process for keeping mana solid. Forming four large blades on each paw I get a notification. -Spell Learned Mana blade: does this need a description? CHAPTER 5 The Hunt Spending the rest of the day making my casting time of both my spells seamless. Getting Mana manipulation to level 3. Trying a new sleeping position I dream of my fight with the Goblin. The wails as I ripped the skin from bone. the feeling of muscles going slack with death. Waking at dawn in a cold sweat. I took a life though it may be a blight on this world but, I still took its life. In order to get stronger Killing will be necessary. Shit I''m a wolf I have to live in the wilds no human will trust a Wolf. They''ll seek experience to increase their level of cultivation. I don''t want to be hunted. Being the cause of death is a really uncomfortable truth. I''ll become the predator I need to be in this world or you know die.Grimacing I start my trek back to their encampment. Watching for an hour or so. I follow a hunting group out of their camp. Observing waiting for my chance to take one of them alone an opportunity arrives as one Goblin separates. He stopped to pick berries. The other two walk-offs leaving him to scavenge. Sneaking up to goblin I unleash my attack. A large ball on mana slams into the Goblins head knocking it down. Seeing it dazed I close, gathering mana again I form large claw on my paw. Seeing the mana blade descending it opens its mouth only for blood to run out. watching I choke on its blood I take off for the other two. Sneaking around them I wait for them to become impatient the larger one kicks the other goblin a few yells and a large bruise later the smaller Goblin trudges off to find the one I just killed. Waiting a little bit I soon send off another mana bolt it slams into the Goblins head like the first. He, however, doesn''t go down like the first but is dazed. seeing no other option I charge with my mana claws active. seeing me he dodges but, not before I sink two claws through his stomach. Letting out a cry, that I''m sure the other goblin heard I send out two more mana bolts one crushing his nose and the other tipping him over.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. As he falls I hear the other Goblin rushing back. Crap should I flee he''s almost dead as it is but if I can''t finish him in time ill have to worry about the other one. Deciding I rush the rising goblin seeing my charge he swings his club horizontally I duck under and sink my teeth into his thigh. Dropping his club and letting out a whimper I feel a foot connect with my ribs the resounding crack lets me know I won¡¯t walk away with a bruise. Damm what soccer team does he play for? Releasing my jaws from the thigh of the other. I face my attacker. It picks up the downed Goblins club and taking out a knife from its pouch is charges. with no option to attack I go on the defensive narrowly missing his club at the protest to my ribs. Stumbling back into a ready position. I need to get in close. charging a mana bolt sending it at the green fuck. A slight shift and it glances off its shoulder the goblin rushes closing to fast for me to catch with my claws. I feel his knife lodge in my upper back. Resisting the urge to empty my bladder. The goblin removes the blade with savage glee as he lifts his hand for another plunge I latch on to his throat. A primal rage envelopes my being the world is tinted red. My canines sink deep I yank open and latch on again it¡¯s blood splatter across my face I shake the lifeless corpse in my maw. releasing the corpse I¡¯m struggling to breathe. The Knife pierced a lung if I didn''t take care of that soon I¡¯ll drown in my own blood. Gather mana at the wound. The feeling was akin to building up water in a hose by putting your finger in the way build enough pressure your finger will be pushed out. the blade and a large splattering of blood coat the forest floor. keeping the hole to push out the blood that was filling my lungs to stop the bleeding. Not being in mortal danger anymore I slowly go about fixing my body. Regrowing bone and reconnecting tissue I look at the bloody scene in from of me it was kind of a rush fighting for my life and to be reward right after -Level 2 Goblin killed 20EXP gained- (x2) -Level 3 Goblin killed 30EXP gained-
