 Prologue: Warning (Edited)

    First time writing something so sorry if I suck, but please tell where I suck but be nice pleaseeeee.


    I don¡¯t know if the tables will work as I what if it doesn¡¯t I will try fix before posting another chapter.

    It was a normal Sunday, I was just playing games and reading web novels ignoring the world when¡­


    *Ping*


    ¡­ a window appeared in front of my pc making me die, It would really have pissed me off if this was ranked but it isn¡¯t so no harm done. Now let¡¯s see what is this shit.

    WoW!!! This is for real? Impossible!!


    I shouldn¡¯t have drunkso much coffee.


    I didn¡¯t sleep since Saturday morning and now it''s 11 am that is 30 hours without sleep. And now I¡¯m hallucinating.


    So I did what any sane person would do I shut down the pc and lay down on my bed to get some sleep. When I get up everything will be back to normal.


    ¡°It¡¯s the first time I have hallucinations hahaha the end of the world as we know it and it comes with a countdown...¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­Let¡¯s try touching it¡­.


    *Ping*


    Mmmmmmmhhhh it only does the same sound when it pops up. Now to make this disappear, maybe it works like the android and we only have to move the windows let¡¯s try.


    *Moving*


    It worked, now can I see it again?


    ¡®Well only one way to find out.¡¯

    ¡°Now I¡¯m 98% sure I¡¯m hallucinating maybe I¡¯m dreaming¡­..??¡±


    ¡®I guess I have a simple way to find out¡¯


    If you are asking why I didn¡¯t run out of the room to ask my family what¡¯s happening it¡¯s because I¡¯m alone at home, my parents and sisters are 300 km away from here, shopping. I stayed home because as a 20 years old university student I don¡ät really feel comfortable hanging out with my parents but I also don¡¯t have money to go on my on¡­. *Shhhifff* I know it¡¯s sad being me *Shhhifff*.


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.


    ¡®So where I was before I got sidetracked?¡¯


    Ahh! Yes calling my parents¡­.*piii**piii**piii**piii**piii**piii*


    ¡°Hello mom, by any chance did you see a blue screen in the past 10 minutes??¡±(???)


    ¡°Philip it happens to all the people in here we were thinking that maybe it was something organized by the shopping you saw on the internet?¡±(Mom)


    ¡°????? On the internet? Organized by the Shopping mall? Mom try saying countdown¡±(Philip)


    *Ping*


    ¡®Not now stupid screen¡¯


    ¡°Countdown ¡­¡­. What is this Philip you know what it¡¯s happening?¡±(Mom)


    ¡®She¡¯s totally losing her head¡¯


    ¡°Mom calm down, are you with father and the girls?¡±(Philip)


    ¡°They are in the cinema seeing a movie why?¡±(Mom)


    Well she still didn¡¯t lose her head so we can still do something to reduce the damage if this isn¡¯t some mass dream.


    ¡°Then call dad and have him and the girls meet with you and don¡¯t leave the Shopping mallat least until we know what will happen in 50 minutes, because if this is real then in 50 minutes all hell will break loose and if I understand the <¡­all you have accomplish will be reset> part right we may lose our cellphones and other technology in the best scenario¡± (Philip)


    ¡°Lose cellphone, best scenario WHAT THE HELL are you talking about?¡±(Mom)


    She is losing her cool again¡­


    ¡°Mom calm down, panicking will only makes things worse do what I tell you, and in case we lose our cellphones don¡ät worry about me I¡¯m better alone then you guys by a lot, I will be fine but you and father have to be careful try staying safe and don¡¯t worry about coming home right now you will be stuck on the road¡± (Philip)


    ¡°Ok will talk with your father and you don¡¯t do nothing stupid¡±(Mom)


    ¡°Ok mom goodbye I will try calling again when the time ends stay safe¡±(Philip)


    ¡°Bye¡±(Mom)


    Now I can¡¯t do more for them, let¡¯s make sure the house is well closed and prepare an escape route, it never hurts to be prepared.


    My house has 2 floors. The 1st floor is the garage with the gate that is already closed and has 1 room no windows only 2 doors one for the garage another to the living room let¡¯s leave them closed, the living room has 3 windows and 2 doors, lets close and lock them all¡­.. Now to the 2nd floor.


    I almost reached the indoors stairs when I spot a nice hammer that could be very useful.


    On the 2nd floor, I lock all the doors and windows of the 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and living room leaving only the innermost doors of the kitchen and laundry room open so that I could have access to the attic.


    Now sitting on one the chair in the kitchen whit the phone, hammer and a big knife in hands reach, I only have to wait for the countdown to end and see what happens.

    HHHmmmhhh Good thing my home is isolated and only has a couple of trees nearby that way I can simply go outside in the open in case of an earthquake and hope that my house doesn¡¯t fall apart.


    Now for the evolution this seems interesting to be honest I always thought the world was boring, because the same rules that keep us ¡®safe¡¯ also take our freedom. I hate the fact the people are always being controlled by one way or other and we all lives in boxes, there are simply people who live in bigger boxes than others.


    And this evolution will destroy those boxes that people have built around them¡­ at least I hope that happens the world was dying and so was its people, we simply don¡¯t care about what happens tomorrow and simply live on the today never learning from the past and always trapped in an endless loop of mistakes.


    But I¡¯m no philosopher so maybe I¡¯m just another crazy person, but something tells me that the crazy will die fast or will prosper ¡­ I hope for my wellbeing that it¡¯s the later. For my self-defense crazy is not necessarily evil.


    So lets break free from this shellcalled humanity.

    Cool what I always wanted my own profile and cheat points (Evolution Points).


    Ahhhhh¡­ I can¡¯t say that didn¡¯t expect that title, I never found something that motivates me to work for a goal .*Smirks* But that changes today, today I WILL FINALLY BE FREE from this hell called society.


    Now that I got that out of the system lets see my stats mmmhhhh¡­¡­..


    I give up I don¡¯t have any idea of the basic so I can¡¯t tell if they are good or bad but I can guess that my wisdom is above average because if it isn¡¯t I¡¯m going cry¡­.. Seriously if my wisdom is below normal for human I¡¯m going sit in the corner crying my eyes out.


    Moving on to affinity¡¯s can only say that I¡¯m not going to be a healer, maybe I can become a void demon that could be cool ¡­.. Have to see that later.


    Don''t have anyabilities but I guess that¡¯s normal let¡¯s see if I can buy some.


    *touching*


    *Ping*


    I love the sound of that ping it gives a sensation of comfort, reminds me that the world has gone crazy¡­¡­ I guess we can say for certain that I fall in the crazy category¡­¡­.. mmeehh!!! Don¡¯t really care.

    2 hours later


    ¡°Finally I already feel like a new person¡­. ¡°


    I chose 3 ability¡¯s that I think that are the best for now, and if I can do what I¡¯m planning fufufufufuhhh I will be OP in no time. So see and envy my abilities.

    The ability Void space basically gives me an inventory that can increase in size if I find how to increase my void affinity the same with dark clothing that increases my damage, the ability mana control I will experiment with it later and expect big results if I can do what I want.


    Mana control cost me 300 evolution points, void space 250 and dark clothing 150 what leaves me with 300 evolution points.


    Next step increase my lame stats principally my mana 80 MP won¡¯t last long with my new abilities mmmmhhhh let¡¯s see what happens if I touch int.


    10 minutes later


    So what I find was that I can only increase the right side stats and every statraised costs me 10 evolution points and I spent 200 points in my stats I don¡¯t want to spent all my points for now never know when I¡¯m going to need them and don¡¯t know how gain more. My stats now look way better.

    Ahahahha!! You done cursing me for my awesome stats? At least I hope they are awesome but until I find something that tells me otherwise they are the best.


    Now for more than I liked to play with my abilities all days long I have to prepare for the night and more important prepare for the case that an earthquake decides to ruin my home. So I open my new awesome void space andput in my hammer, knife and¡­. That¡¯s right I totally forgot to call my mom, well it¡¯s not too early or late just the right time¡­.


    *piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*


    Figures no signal, now to see what ¡®technology¡¯ works¡­..TV no more series in 1 a.m. ¡­..Car best take the dust from the bicycle¡­¡­hot water let¡¯s say that maybe is better take hose bathes at least the first 10 seconds are warm water¡­ on summer¡­ but I¡¯m happy to announce that the most important technology still works¡­ the toilet still flushes thanks god¡­


    What am i forgetting again????? Aaaahhh yes prepare for the night now that the worklist is done lets grab some covers this week I sleep on the kitchen floor because it¡¯s the only division of the house in the second floor that has a door directly to the back of the house, the house is half buried on the ground ina way that youcanonly see a floor from the back but from the front, you can see the two floors it has been a good idea from my father, this way the house is fresher during on summer and warmer during winter.


    Using the trips to getsome blanketsto check every windows to see what is happening on the outside, but as I expected not a living soul to be seen, It was expected from the location of my house, my closest neighbor is 500 meters away, and if this evolution is going to take 7 days it shouldn¡¯t happeneverything on the first day not that I¡¯m going to let my guard down.


    Eating some cooked meat with rice, the stove still works, and getting down on the covers I try to listen for something in the silence of the night but ended falling asleep around 22:00 p.m.


    ¡­¡­¡­..


    I don¡¯t know how long I slept for but I waked up because of an earthquake, trying to find the light switch on this dark night only to find out that the electricity stopped working, I sprinted while tripping a couple of times, to go outside where with the light of the full moon and saw and felt an earthquake like never before.


    During what seems ages later (5 min) still on the floor outside I try to regain my calm, itsthe first timeI felt an earthquake, looking at my house it seems that it didn¡¯t tookto muchdamage at least on the outside.


    I was about to get up when¡­

    Convenient, I like this system almost as much aswifi maybe in the next update it will incorporateinternet that would awesome but¡­¡­ can¡¯t play without pc and probably the RR authors are busy killing wolfs and lions¡­ truly a pity best site ever.


    Now in the next order of work see if the house doesn¡¯t fall apart when I get a foot inside.


    2 laps around the house later it doesn¡¯t seem to have taken much damage, only 5 or 6 roof tiles lost, now the real problem¡­. the inside, foot by foot careful seeing if I don¡¯t dive to the first floor through the ceiling, jump retreat, jump retreat, jump retreat, mmmmmmhhhh seems ok, now more 2 laps inside the house locking for cracks¡­¡­


    Nothing too serious the painting and plaster from the walls have some cracks but the walls and pillars are intact that is what matters I didn¡¯t even cry when I saw 2 of the 3 TVs on the floor with a nice giant crack each, ready didn¡¯t cry *smmmhh* not a tear *smmhh*

    I lock outside to see 2 foxes that have cornered a rabbit against a big rock a few meters from my back door, I already know that are at least 3 foxes in this hill, and a lot of rabbits? Mountain? Not really sure, to high to be a hill to small to be a mountain ¡­.. or you can say that I live on the top of a valley ya I think that valley works. So as I was saying there are foxes nearby but they don¡¯t come so close from my home and much less 2 of them¡­¡­..


    Mmmmmhhhh Right the update saidsomething aboutincreases reproduction andaggressivitybut to think that in 9 hours they grow balls big enough to come near my house¡­¡­ maybe there were more than 3 ¡­.. Don¡¯t really care from where they came from.


    Now what to do with them¡­..


    They can¡¯t enter and I want to do some experiments in the morning¡­..


    Ok, I will experiment?? train?? Not sure in what category it falls, and if I can see them in the afternoon I will deal with them, but more important breakfast¡­..This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    10 minutes later


    I really like to have some fresh bread but don¡¯t ready think that I will see that again for some time at least, and coffee with some hard bread isn¡¯t the worst thing that I could eat but I need to plan to get more food¡­¡­ I will think about that later now I have to train.


    Sitting on the floor against the wall in a comfortable position I try to feel the mana in my body, that was easy thanks to Mana Control and did what any person would do in my place, I start playing snake with my mana through my veins don¡¯t having the less idea of what will cause but any person will do that¡­. definitively.


    I started slow because I can be crazy but still haveminimum care with my body, after all, I only have one¡­¡­ for now¡­¡­there is some crazy ability¡¯s on that lists and I didn¡¯t see half of them¡­.


    Now after playing for 2 hours and getting a *ping*¡­¡­. what the ping means I have no idea, come on I didn¡¯t want to ruin the surprise, and what if it was something important? well, I''m still alive so it wasn¡¯t that important¡­..


    Now to see what I gain¡­¡­ or lose still can¡¯t say, how do I open the lost messages?


    ¡°Mailbox¡±


    ¡­¡­No didn¡¯t work maybe¡­.


    ¡°Log¡±


    *Ping*


    I was only messing around all the games and LN use this command is the second most used right after profile/status¡­.. Now, what did I gain in 2 hours¡­..can¡¯t be negative¡­..

    See all under control I was expecting to gain an ability but this isn¡¯t bad either. Now for my next experience, I need mana control to level up a bit and is still tooearly to lunch and I only intended to go fox hunting after lunch so let''s play more snake.


    3 hours, 6 CONS, 2 SPD and a hamburger later (the last one, I hid it under the fish on the freezer¡­.. that stopped working because of the blackout)


    I¡¯m now in the attic taking advantage of the holes on the roof due to the earthquake (Have to fix that before night). Making sure that an army of foxes wasn¡¯t waiting for me outside I could have to use the windows but the windows don¡¯t cover 360o from the house and I still had to see the damage to the roof.


    After 2 laps through the attic (I¡¯m checking everything at least 2 times just to be sure) I could only see 2 pars of foxes, the first par that seems to have made a lair on the big rock just outside and another pair 300 meters away on the other side the house. Well safer than this will never be so I take the knife and a big basket from my void space, when did I put the basket on the void space, well when I was waiting for the hamburger to get ready I put everything that could be of use on my void space like a basket, medic kit and the 9 mm from my father. Why I don¡¯t go with the 9 mm, well for one I doubt I can hit a fox, two very limited ammo.


    So ready with a basket on the right hand and the knife on the left I run from the door screaming CHARGE¡­¡­


    Nah I¡¯m not that stupid, I approached the den from behind careful to not make a noise and when Iam in arm reach I put the basket covering the exit hit with my feet on the ground to make some noise when I feel the fox hitting the basket I trapped her on the floor putting a foot on top to now let it escape.


    And then turn to the order one who almost bitten my heel, but before it could close his mouth I climb to the top of basket, making the fox stunned for a moment for only biting air and that was all I need as I jumped feet together on the fox injured it and falling to my knees, but I was already expecting my fall so I simply brought my knife arm to my feet and stabbed the fox on the neck before it could get up.


    Until now all according to the plan, and no I do not forget the fox who was able to escape from the basket but in one a one it is easy.


    ¡­¡­


    I shouldn¡¯t have said that because when she attacked my leg I was able to remove the leg from the way but it attacked the other one faster than I could shift my height and bitted my ankle.


    ¡°aahh!!¡±


    Furious from the pain I get down and grabbed the neck of the fox to not let it escape and used for the first time dark clocking on my knife and stabbed the fox in the spine ending her life.


    Removing carefully the fox teeth from my ankle I put it next to the first and approximate the lair to get what I came for.


    Inside the lair, as expected I found 3 small foxes, picking them up I put them inside the basket one by one, pick up the basket and bringing them to the kitchen I put them down.


    Grabbing a shovel I dig a hole in the garden and buried the female fox putting a small rock as a signal of respect I kill her and her mate but that doesn¡¯t mean that I will disrespect the dead. The male fox I will also give him the respect that he deserves it will my dinner and I will not waste a single part from his body, only didn¡¯t do this to the female because the freezer no longer works.


    Now for the puppies¡­¡­


    It¡¯s time to gain a tamer skill.

 Chapter 3: 3 foxes

    Now that I was about to crouch to pick up the fox it was then that I realize that my ankle still hurts and I didn¡¯t attend to my wound, so I pick up a chair sit and from void space remove alcohol to disinfect the wound (it hurts more than the bite) and bandage it to keep the wound clean, this is only a couple of scratches, my pants stop the fox¡¯s teeth long enough for me to kill it without having to remove teeth from my bones.


    So to prevent me from forgot more things its better to take some note¡­¡­ but paper and pen are so old fashion¡­..


    ¡°Notes¡±


    Nothing???


    ¡°Notebook¡±


    *Ping*


    Like I said old fashion¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Something like this for now.

    Now to the puppies¡­.mmmhhhh¡­. maybe is better get then some food first, I hope they eat (drink??) cow milk or I¡¯m screwed and will have to do the hard way because you can be sure that will do what I can to not let them die. Warming milk using the gas that I still have (Should last at least a week), I go do the most dangerous quest that I will ever do¡­¡­¡­.


    In front of me is the worst nightmare for men a 3mx3mx1m wardrobe from my sisters in this labyrinth class legendary I have to find an Baby Bottle from when my sister was born¡­¡­


    10 minutes later (with pause to turn off the gas from the stove)


    Finally I gather enough courage to begin the quest, and with a last deep breath I dive in the clothes¡­..


    1 hour later


    Finally an hour later I could get the baby bottle and the warn milk (have to heat up again, waste of gas) to feed the puppies. Sitting in the ¡®meditation corner¡¯ I put the foxes on my lap 2 female and 1 male but they refuse to stay on my lap or even be feed, I guess it¡¯s not easy to trust the guy who kill your parents¡­¡­. ¡ä


    5 minutes of wasted efforts later I decide to use my last trick, if this don¡¯t work I will have to turn to more forced measures¡­.. really don¡¯t want to go that route (too much work little return).


    Then let¡¯s try my theory, I cover my hand with mana pretty easy with mana control level 2 and put my hand in the lady that was about to fall off from my lap.


    Then it happen¡­. she stops, like completely she even stopped breathing, I was starting to get worried so I remove my hand but it didn¡¯t chance anything so in hurry I start petting the girl (fox) first without mana  and then with mana and to my relive she started breathing again.


    To my surprise (and happy that it worked) she didn¡¯t try to run again and ever get close to my stomach and started rubbing her head on me, looking like a really cute small cat.


    While I was distracted by this cute fella the other two pests have run away but couldn¡¯t really go far with the short legs and with the eyes closed.


    Gathering the puppies on my lap, again, I try doing the same with the other two and archive the same result.


    After spending some time to feed them all and spending all my mana petting the daydreaming puppies I put them on the basket with a blanket to keep them warm.


    Now the thing that I delayed, I really didn¡¯t want to do this but to survive is better to get familiarized with the needed gore.


    Dropping the fox carcass on the bathtub and getting a good knife from the kitchen I try to skin the best that I can with the knowledge obtain from ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Web novel ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. not the best source of information but is better than nothing.


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.


    The result ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ wasn¡¯t pretty and it¡¯s too small to do anything useful so I remove the small pieces of meat that are still on the pelt and washed the pelt and fur with a the help of soup and a bottle of water (no electricity = no pump = no water).


    The result was a small fluffy pelt, 4 small consumable pieces of meat and the 4 canines. I would like to see if this have any kind of stats but I didn¡¯t buy that skill so¡­¡­. Maybe next time.


    Outside the sun almost disappear in the horizon¡­¡­ I ready wanted to fix the roof but cant risk go to the attic with only candles light so I go to the garage to get a pair of working gloves, scissors, some metal, a bag of cement, rope, nails, a 0,10mx0,10mx1,3m piece of wood  , a sledgehammer and some iron bars.


    When I get all the stuff on my void space and got back to the kitchen it was already night so I fried some fox meat and did a salad to the dinner.


    I have to say fox meat with some salt its not that bad, if I was a good cook it could even be good.


    Surrounded with candles (I have already put all candles, lighters and matches on void space) I got to work.


    Using scissors some line and a needle I put the 4 canines on the right glove, now when I give a right punch instead of a bruise I do 4 holes, and to don¡¯t lose ability with the hands I cut off the fingers from the glove. Emergency weapon done, pity that only have canines to one hand.


    From the piece of wood with lots of work I did the ugliest baseball bat that I even see and put some nails on top to do some more damage.


    With the cement and iron bars I did some crude disposable maces spikes and all, the problem it will break after one use.


    Having done some weapons I put everything on the void space, pick up the puppies and lay down on the blanket with the puppies on my stomach and petting them until be left without mana and eventually fell asleep.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­..


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­..


    I woke up to the same earthquake that last nitght and a quick check I notice that its midnight in point.


    Quickyly piching up the now awake fox I get outside with the help of moonlight.


    During the next 10 minutes, now calmer that last night, I sit on the groud fox on my lap getting petting to keep calm, I lock around to see for the first time what happen in the world.


    Due to my house being so high I can see far far far away and what I saw make me let a tear fall across my face, the view is beautiful, without any light on, there isn¡¯t nothing to cause light pollution what allows me to see the stars much better¡­. and this is truly beautiful, I can see much more stars and some galaxies that are really bright in the dark world. I saw many NASA pictures from galaxies all spectacular but no picture can capture the beauty of this night sky.


    *Ping*


    I was ¡®awaken¡¯ due to the new windows that appear on from of me and was not surprised to see a world update I already guess that the biggest changes are done at midnight.

    This is interesting but I really don¡¯t want to be outside with so many animals around and I really didn¡¯t want to enter the house without checking for damage but I don¡¯t have time for that so I get inside of the house while being careful and get under the table to get some sleep.


    Morning


    Waking up to the annoying alarm I do a fast check up on the house to see the damage and what I saw got me really worried¡­. the walls are starting to crack it¡¯s still safe but the house will not survive 5 more earthquakes¡­¡­


    I can¡¯t do anything right now because even if I build a shelter it only will survive until midnight.


    Seeing that there is nothing that I can do I prepare breakfast for me and the puppies.


    I was feeding the puppies when I receive a warning saying that my mana control leveled up¡­

    ¡°Yes, this is what I was waiting for.¡±


    If I can do half of the things I want with this nobody can stop me.


    Putting the now full puppies in the the basket I then start my experiments.


    First I get a vase of flowers (my house has a lot of them) and concentrate on the earth completing a mental image of every little rock and grand of soil that I can.


    When I¡¯m satisfied I control my mana or can I start calling this magic mmmmmhhhh ¡­.. details, don¡¯t really matters.


    During the following 10 minutes I try to move the earth with my mana and when I was about to give up I hear the famous¡­

    I can¡¯t get rid of the grin on my face this is exactly what I was hoping that would happen. Right now this is basically useless but when I level up small mana control and increase my earth affinity it will be much better than a dozen of earth type spells.


    And now, I have to see if I can increase my earth affinity with evolution points.

    Mmmmmhhh I really want to play with my new ability¡¯s but I have too much to do before lunch so is better get to work.


    ¡­¡­¡­.


    At 11am I get my last elemental affinity and this is what I gained¡­

    Not bad for a morning worth of work. One thing that I noticed is that when I use mana to manipulate the air, earth, fire or water the original light blue mana gets green, brown, red, and deep blue respectably, when I noticed this I experiment with dark clothing and void space and I saw that my mana chances to dark and then grey¡­¡­..


    1 hour trying to convert my mana to dark mana without using a skill I finally catch the trick, I have to simply concentrate on my mana and imagine an infinite space of darkness then my mana chanced to black.


    After finding this I want to see if I can evolve the foxes by force feeding elemental mana to them but I don¡¯t want to risk turning the foxes stronger without having complete confidence that they don¡¯t attack me.


    Mmmmhhhhhh¡­¡­.. Maybe if I ¡­¡­..


    Picking up the male fox I try to reach his mind with mana¡­¡­. But I don¡¯t know what to look for so I concentrate on my own brain and start scanning my mind with mana¡­.. And what I saw amazed me the mind is like millions of connections passing information faster than I can see.


    After knowing what to look for I try to see the mind of the fox and what I saw was the same but without as many connections and not even the half of the strength or speed.


    When I saw my objective I try to create a new connection to the fox passing the thought ¡®Friend¡¯ along with its meaning and when I finally connect my mind to his I felt a little resistance that lasted for 2 seconds before the world become dark¡­


    *Ping*


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­..


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    When I woke up I was feeling empty¡­¡­ then I noticed than my mana was a zero and I havened eaten anything since breakfast¡­¡­


    Looking around me I saw 2 foxes crying for food fox and another one sleeping on my lap I was worried that the fox would not wake up.


    ¡°Well there is an easy way to find out, Log¡±


    <table><tbody><tr><td>System Message</td></tr><tr><td>You successfully formed a telepathic link with a fox and grant him all your knowledge.

    Great this is exactly what I wanted and even more  and don¡¯t know what my knowledge will do to him but I guess that is why he still didn¡¯t wake up¡­.. Now let¡¯s see this taming skill.

    It¡¯s better than I expected I can buy them stats and ability¡¯s with my EP and seeing that I can create my own skills it¡¯s always better to have a powerful ally¡­. Or 3¡­¡­ to keep you alive.


    So after feeding the 2 other foxes and force feeding the sleeping one I create two more links one for each and when they fall asleep on the basket I pick up my weapon gather all the bottles I can find and got out of the house I need to get some water and now that I have some weapons and I know more or less the strength of the foxes so as long as I¡¯m not against more than 4 foxes I should be ok.


    Carrying a mace in the right hand and the bat on the left I go to the nearby mine, I say mine but it¡¯s more like a small tunnel where I barely fit thought, and that tunnel was excavated because it led to a spring.


    Just as I arrived at the mine I saw two blue lizards that where the size of a small dog. Getting close without being seen I use ¡®Identify¡¯.

    Oh so this is how animals evolve interesting I should try evolving my foxes, but that can wait now I have to get some water get out of here.


    Taking my knife I put it on my boots (in an apocalypse always use boots), taking aim at the far away lizard and throw my mace and even before the mace hit I was already running carrying the bat with the 2 hands just as the mace hit the lizard I hit the first lizard with all the strength I had making him fly to the mine, letting my bat fall to the ground I grab my knife and end the life of the lizard that was still confused after getting hit.


    Just as I was about to pick up my bat I was thrown to the ground by a water ball feeling stupid I look to were that came from¡­¡­ in the mine I see a bloody blue lizard with a water ball on the mouth ready to launch¡­¡­.


    I was just their sitting on the floor looking with wide eyes as the lizard shot his magic¡­.. I was about to get a shower I lay down on the floor and see the water pass over me, quickly getting up I grab my bat and run to the lizard and when he release another water ball I step to the right and swing my bat finally ending his life.


    Now just have to fill the bottle with water and pick up the bodies to see what I can do with it ¡­


    *Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*


    ¡­¡­.. Great where did you come from????

 Chapter 5: Evolution?

    Today I fixed the grammar/mistakes from all the chapters. They aren¡¯t perfect but are better than before¡­.


    I simply can¡¯t do a chapter without grammar mistakes I was always very weak with grammar in English and even in my own language so sorry but unless I get someone to correct my grammar mistakes it will take time for me to get better¡­..


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    ¡­¡­.. Great where did you come from????


    Behind me 4 meters into the mine I saw (thanks to night vision) a cave that I never saw before and I pretty sure it was never here¡­¡­. Maybe thanks to the earthquakes the floors dropped???? Don¡¯t know¡­..


    But what I know is there was a 3 meters long blue lizard (think Komodo dragon but blue and without poison) trying to enter the small tunnel to get me¡­ Using ¡®identify¡¯ this is what I got¡­


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Cannibal Water Lizard</td><td>Evolution: 2</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>Evolution route: Lizard-> Water Lizard-> Cannibal Water Lizard

    -??????</td></tr></tbody></table>


    ¡°What?¡± Why did the skill give me more information now??? don¡¯t tell me the skill only tells me what I know or can see???? I WANT MY POINTS BACK this is a scheme¡­¡­


    While I was complain to myself the big lizard stop trying to get inside of the small tunnel and start gathering water on is mouth.


    Seeing a water ball 2 times bigger than before making is way to me I swing my bat and hit it (the tunnel it¡¯s too small to dodge), when my bat hit the water ball it just splash everywhere getting me even more wet.


    The lizard started gathering more water and I start running to him, when I was only 2 meters away from him the lizard swing his tail cutting his water ball, I was expecting the water ball to just fall to the ground but to my surprise instead of that the water ball become a water blade flying to me with the double speed of the water ball.


    Recuperating from my surprise I throw my bat to the water blade and teleport to behind the lizard. When I appear behind the lizard I stood stunned for a moment the teleportation shut down all my senses for a moment and that isn¡¯t a pleasant feeling.


    As I disappear after throwing the bat the lizard become confused looking for me so I get myself together and bury my knife through his skull¡­.. Good news I kill him, bad news my best knife broke¡­¡­


    *Sigh* I guess getting out of here with only a broken knife isn¡¯t a bad trade¡­¡­. Filling all my bottles with water from the little stream I get everything in void space, bodies, bottles even the broken knife.


    When I pick up the bat I noticed that it have a small cut where the water blade hit and only now I really appreciate the fact that I was leaving this place with only a broken knife. Maybe the water blade didn¡¯t have much strength but it was enough to injure me far more than a fox bite¡­.


    With the bat in my hand I make my way back home, but barely step outside of the tunnel I see 3 foxes looking to me, it looks like the smell of blood was too tempting to stay away¡­.


    Letting my bat fall to the ground I retrieve from my void space two maces and throw them to the more far away foxes, one of the foxes manage to dodge but the other one was hit by the mace in the abdomen suffering a big wound.


    When the mace hit is target I was already running with my bat to the closest fox and activating dark clotting I smash the fox head to the ground before she had a chance to understand what was happening.


    Taking my bat off the fox head I observe the other 2 foxes that are slowly retreating with the injure one being cover by the remaining one.


    I let them get away. I have more than enough for now and little time to do everything that I want.


    ¡­¡­..


    Getting home without being attack again, I enter and see the 3 foxes still sleeping where I left them and I could almost swear that they are bigger but can¡¯t be sure¡­..


    Skinning the 3 lizards and the fox took most of the afternoon but now I have 2 small lizard scale pelt 20 small claws, 1 fluffy fox pelt, 1 big lizard scale pelt and 10 big claws.


    I could show what ¡®identify¡¯ says about this, but it was all useless information like this is a lizard claw or poor fox pelt¡­. So¡­. not very helpful.


    Sitting in my spot I see how much points I gain with all this¡­.


    Earth manipulation-> 10 000 EP (Always that a new thig is discovered or done it grants additional EP)


    Water manipulation-> 100 EP


    Fire manipulation-> 100 EP


    Air manipulation-> 100 EP


    Telepathic link -> 10 000 EP


    Taming skill-> 1 000 EP


    Kill water lizard-> 10 x2 = 20 EP


    Kill carnivorous water lizard-> 50 Ep


    Kill fox-> 5 EP


    Total-> 21 375 EP


    With this much I can get something good but what I really need is self-sustain I don¡¯t want to be dependent from others¡­¡­


    Mmmhhhh¡­.. I can get water and food relatively easy¡­. Clothes that I now noticed are covered with blood, I can get all clothes from my wardrobe and my father that will last for a while¡­..But what I really need is a way to make weapons, pistols and others gun are useful but I can¡¯t get many of them and even if I do I will eventually run out of bullets, so I need a way to make my own weapons and I¡¯m sure I can¡¯t find a forge in the next corner¡­¡­..


    Checking the ability¡¯s that I can buy, I found this one¡­


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Matter fusion</td><td>Level: Max</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>The ability to merge any objects together.


    Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!Allow to fuse matter with items.</td></tr><tr><td>Cost:</td><td>Depends on mass and special properties</td></tr></tbody></table>


    With this ability I can merge metal, fangs or claws and create weapons without a forge the problem is that it costs 15 000 EP its way to expensive but is a needed skill (I¡¯m tired of saying ability so from now on is skill) so I brought it.


    Now another thing that I need is a way to cure my wounds, I don¡¯t want to spend points on holy affinity to buy a heal spell so I was looking for recovery skills¡­¡­. then I find one that fit my needs but I really don¡¯t like how it works¡­


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Glutton</td><td>Level: 1</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>Use all the food in the stomach to accelerate the natural heling.</td></tr><tr><td>Heal:</td><td>x2 recovery for each kg</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I really didn¡¯t want a skill that makes me have to eat even more but is all I can buy now and is cheap only 500 EP¡­.


    Now I have 5 875 EP what to do mmmmhhhhh don¡¯t really nothing for now and I still can¡¯t give skills to the foxes so I spend 1 950 EP and 1 750 EP to get my affinity¡¯s dark and void to 50%. Using 1950 EP I get my earth affinity to 40 %, this will be useful when I need to find shelter.


    Now with the left 225 EP (= 22 stats points) I put 10 stats points on STR, 10 in SPD and 2 on luck, the remaining 5 EP I can¡¯t do anything with them¡­¡­.

    What? I already forced them to evolve? That wasn¡¯t my intention¡­.. what to do now???


    I guess that is no use to think about that now. What I know is that I¡¯m dead tired so let¡¯s put an alarm to 11:50 pm and get some rest¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    *piiiiiiiiiiiiii*


    Waking up more tired than I go to sleep I hesitating got up and light up some candles, going outside I do a circle of light with candles and pick up the basket now much heavier than before, and sit in the middle of the circle admiring the stars waiting for the now normal earthquake.


    While I wait I try to infuse mana in my bones to make them sturdier, I ready don¡¯t want to break a leg when I¡¯m surrounded by enemies¡­..


    Just I was finishing infusing mana on my leg bone the earth start shaking and now at distance I can see the first houses falling unable to withstand its own weight¡­


    Now that I noticed even if it¡¯s night I can see better and farther away that I would be able during the day, I only put, the now extinguished, candles because I¡¯m used to have light when its dark but now I guess isn¡¯t needed anymore.


    While I was thinking about my improved night vision the earthquake stopped and the report appeared¡­

 Chapter 6: Learning and Crafting.

    Thanks to EnablingBarley for proofread my chapter


    ...,.........................


    *piiiiiiiiiiiiiii*


    Waking up to the stupid alarm I got up and check the foxes¡­¡­¡­ I guess that I can¡¯t call them puppies anymore they are now the size of an adult fox and still didn¡¯t wake up what mean that they are still evolving¡­¡­ maybe I can help a little¡­¡­


    Picking up the male fox I concentrate on my mana turning it to the wind attribute and ¡®force¡¯ the mana into the fox¡­. What happen next surprised me; the fox actually drain half of my mana when I only wanted to see what a little mana could do¡­.. And then something even more amazing happen the fox fur start to turn green¡­¡­but as a green fox is weird so I start giving him earth mana, and then I saw brown spreading like fire on its green fur and the result was much cooler than before, now the fox have most of the body brown but with wild lines of green that don¡¯t follow any pattern what makes this fox a piece of abstract art¡­.. Very awesome¡­..


    Finishing the fox alteration I turn to the two females¡­¡­ I want to do something especial to them but first I need to gain some EP¡­¡­


    Mmmhhhhh until now I only win EP by chance or by killing animals but I need 50 EP and that are 10 foxes level: 0 or 5 lizard level:1.


    ¡®You can say evolutions are levels¡­. I think¡¯


    But finding and kill so many will be dangerous and take too much time¡­.


    Mmmhhhhh¡­ I know maybe if I can fortify my bones as I was trying to do last night maybe that will earn me some points¡­. And even if it doesn¡¯t, it never hurts to have sturdy bones.


    I spent the next hours injecting my bones with raw mana, only stopping to eat some fried meat that was left from yesterday, feed the sleeping foxes and to refill my mana.


    4 hour later I received what I wanted¡­

    Mmmmmhhhhh maybe dragons also have this title and that¡¯s why they sleep so much¡­.. I can¡¯t sleep so much, unless I can transform in an immortal dragon or something¡­.


    But the pioneer title could be very lucrative¡­¡­ or useless, once it only works if I¡¯m the first to find the new thing¡­¡­ I guess I¡¯m lucky in this valley there are maybe 500 people and most of them are in the other side so I should some new plants or dungeons in my side¡­¡­.


    ¡­¡­..wait dungeons??????? Wtf the system didn¡¯t said nothing about dungeons¡­¡­it will only be incorporate in a future update???? Now that the dungeons were mentioned the big lizard room could be considerate a boss room in a dungeon¡­¡­A dungeon with only one tunnel and the boss room¡­.. But I didn¡¯t receive any message from the system¡­..


    Doesn¡¯t matter for now I¡¯m already way too much sidetracked¡­


    What I wanted was 50 EP to buy 1% light affinity but now that I gain so many points I will buy 1% light and holy affinities.


    I buy 1% because I discovered that I can¡¯t even transform mana to light or holy attribute without having at least 1% affinity¡­¡­so now that I can transform my mana to all the elements (light attribute is white and holy is yellow) I can start improving the two remaining foxes¡­..


    ¡­¡­¡­..


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­.


    A couple of hours later¡­


    There I¡¯m finished and I must say I did a pretty good job, the first fox is now white with the tip of the fur blue and the other one is black with the tip of the fur red. As you can guess the in the first I used light and water mana and for the second dark and fire mana¡­. Ohhh I almost forgot for the white fox I changed the right eye to white and the left to blue and did the same for the other right eye black and left red.


    I can¡¯t wait to teach them ability¡¯s and see them rip apart an army of lizard¡¯s hahahahahah.


    With all the excitement I spend all the morning on this¡­¡­.


    What to do? What to do?


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­..


    After having lunch I determine that the weapons that I currently have are too weak so let¡¯s make something nice.


    In front of me are all the materials that I could gather from around the house: 1 hammer, 1 sledgehammer, some iron bars, my bat, 3 cement maces, 7 kg of cement, lots of nails and screws.


    From my previous hunt I have: 2 small lizard scale pelt 20 small claws, 1 fluffy fox pelt, 1 big lizard scale pelt and 10 big claws.


    Mhhhhh what to do with all this???


    Ohhh!!! I know let¡¯s try the new skill. I pick up 1 mace and some steel and use ¡®Merge¡¯ and the result is good, it¡¯s not as strong as a normal medieval mace but is far better than before¡­now merging some more iron and some steel nails I have now a resistant useful mace that I have no idea how to use¡­.. well before I just use it to distract the opponent by throwing hit ¡­¡­


    The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.


    Now that I know that I can fortify object I can do the weapons that I want I only need to have good materials something that I currently don¡¯t possess¡­..


    No use crying for what I don¡¯t have let¡¯s do the best I can with what I have¡­.


    Preparing the cement (very useful if you have a way to make it more durable) I make 2 spears, a long sword and a katana. Why make so many different weapons?? Well I don¡¯t know how to correctly use any of them so I built different weapon in the possibility one enemy is immune to one type of weapon, like skeletons I will have much more success if I fight them with a mace or the sledgehammer.


    Now let¡¯s experiment a little while the cement is still fresh I fuse a spear with iron and after cement is dry I fuse the other spear with the same amount of iron.


    The result is different from what I expected this is the information of the first spear:


    Before merging the spear with iron:


    <table><tbody>[tr]<td>Cement Spear</td><td>Durability: 10/10</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>A crude spear done from cement</td></tr><tr><td>Damage:</td><td>5</td></tr></tbody></table>


    After merging the spear with iron:


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Cement/iron  Spear</td><td>Durability: 30/30</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>A crude spear done from cement and then merged with iron</td></tr><tr><td>Damage:</td><td>15</td></tr></tbody></table>


    The second spear despite displaying the same ¡®lore¡¯ has different values and this indicates that different methods of ¡®crafting¡¯ led to different results¡­


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Cement/iron Spear</td><td>Durability: 20/20</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>A crude spear done from cement and then merged with iron</td></tr><tr><td>Damage:</td><td>20</td></tr></tbody></table>


    The damage is higher for the spear that was merge with iron after drying but its durability is lower that the spear that was merged with iron wile drying¡­


    After the test with the spears I make some tests with the long sword.


    While shaping the cement into the long short form I¡¯m constantly inserting mana into it and before the cement dry I merge some iron. I only stop inserting mana into the sword when the cement dry and this was the result.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Cement/iron Sword</td><td>Durability: 50/50</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>A crude sword done from cement and then merged with iron, due to mana presence during the crafting the sword become sharper and more durable than a sword made from cement could ever be</td></tr><tr><td>Damage:</td><td>25</td></tr></tbody></table>


    hahahahah¡­ I wonder how many more things can I do in order to make my weapons stronger???


    I know the strongest type of weapon¡­. A sentient sword¡­. Can I make one??....only one way to find out¡­..


    First I need a core to contain the mind and then I need a way so that the sword can evolve ¡­


    Picking up some earth and with earth manipulation I compress it into a small ball and when I was thinking that I couldn¡¯t compress more the earth become grey¡­ I become confused then I noticed that the earth become iron¡­. Some experiment latter I find out that I can transform earth into iron but I can¡¯t control it, so if I want an iron spear I can manipulate the earth to form a spear then transform it into iron, what means that all the work I have done so far I was in vain¡­¡­*tear in the corner of the eye *


    Well at least learn something¡­..


    Moving on, I pick up the metal sphere and start infusing mana into it while trying to make a copy of my brain network but for more connections that I create they disappear once I try making another one¡­¡­


    Why can¡¯t I make an artificial brain? It¡¯s because I¡¯m doing it wrong or the iron sphere isn¡¯t suitable for what I want? Well I guess is just impossible to do a sentient weapon with what I have¡­.


    Despite being distracted I never stopped providing mana to the sphere and when I noticed the grey iron sphere was now glowing, surprised I stop my mana and the sphere stop glowing but instead of grey was now blue.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Small Artificial Mana Core</td><td>Durability: 10/10</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>An artificial made mana core, its uses are unknown</td></tr><tr><td>Mana:</td><td>150/150</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Ohhhh maybe now I can make the connections¡­.. no still can¡¯t make the network, but now I can make 5 connections before the first one disappear¡­. What I¡¯m missing???


    Mmhhhh¡­. Let¡¯s try cheat a little, I pick up the brain from the carnivores water lizard (I really need to dispose of the bodies, they are starting to smell) and fuse the brain with the small mana core.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>???</td><td>???: ???</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>#$#&#$ERROR$#&$#&$</td></tr><tr><td>???:</td><td>???</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Well that¡¯s new¡­ I guess that I¡¯m doing progress if the system can¡¯t identify it.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Yes, I just create a copy of my brain on the mana core/brain it only took 2 hours¡­.. now that this is done I have to build the sword.


    Now instead of losing time with cement I control the earth to build my katana, I don¡¯t know much about crafting but I know that katana is one of the hardest type of sword to craft and that¡¯s what makes it such a good sword¡­. So instead of making the katana in one go I make 3 pieces, the blade, the back of the blade and the handle. After making the 3 pieces and turning them to iron I pick up the blade and fuse all the steel I can find (nails, screws¡­) to it.


    Now the hard part I have to put together all 4 pieces, for this I have to only fuse part of the item in a way that they stay together but don¡¯t fuse completely. This process demands much more concentration and once I fuse 5 mm of the blade to its back I stop and check if it doesn¡¯t break at least force¡­ 5 hits from a hammer later I confirmed that 5 mm is enough to partially fuse objects together without risk to break from each other. Before finishing the sword I completely fuse the mana core to the handle, it¡¯s safer having it on the handle, one blade I can easily do but the mana core/brain it¡¯s too hard to replicate and I don¡¯t know if in the future I will have the luxury of siting on my ass for more than 3 hours without having to be on high alert¡­


    Finally the last part, fusing the blade with the handle¡­.


    *ping*


    ¡°Ooohhh¡­. Really?¡±

    Even the system can¡¯t identify the sword¡­ I¡¯m the first in the world to create this? ..... Fuck yes I¡¯m a genius, I just hope that the system don¡¯t erase my creation from existence.


    The katana have 1, 2 m the blade is 90 cm long and 8 cm wide, in the end the ¡®sharp¡¯ side it curves to the back side. The handle is simple without a handle guard; the handle was grey like the rest of the katana but when I fuse the core it turned black I don¡¯t know why and I really don¡¯t like don¡¯t know thinks principally when it¡¯s related with my currently strongest weapon and my pets¡­


    Well I can only hope that it will turn to the better¡­..


    Now I need something to fight at distance, I know that I could use magic but for me magic is my trump card and you only use you trump card in the open if you are in trouble¡­. Well I quickly made 4 iron short spears so that I can throw them and I really wanted a bow I don¡¯t how to use it but I can always put in the grand pile of thinks to learn¡­.


    Looking around the house for elastics and other flexible strings I fuse them all together but the resulting string have too much elasticity and not enough strength ¡­¡­mmhhhhh what to do?


    Maybe if I use something with less elasticity¡­ well I can only use iron, I already used most of the materials to make the others weapons¡­


    Fusing iron piece by piece until I found the right amount of elasticity and power, now for the bow body I make it from iron and then fuse some wood chair and a little of elastic bands¡­to finish I put them together and the bow is now ready.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Bow</td><td>Durability: 20/20</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>A bow made in a unusual way</td></tr><tr><td>Damage:</td><td>5-25</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Damage 5-25? Why isn¡¯t the damage like the other weapons? Maybe it depends of how much I pull the string or maybe what type of arrow I use¡­. Arrow¡­..arrow¡­.. I don¡¯t have any arrow how the hell I¡¯m I going to use one bow without arrows¡­.


    I try make an iron arrow but it doesn¡¯t work, the arrow only fly 3 m and then falls¡­¡­.i try reduce the weight by making the arrow making it hollow¡­¡­mmhhhh the accuracy isn¡¯t great but works and that is what matters¡­..my accuracy isn¡¯t great so this will do until I can make normal arrows¡­. Maybe I can learn nature or wood magic later¡­


    Now that I have more weapons that I will probably use I¡¯m going to fix my house with earth magic it¡¯s an easy task¡­


    After reinforcing the walls with earth magic and some iron I make some iron bars to protect the windows, now the house should resist the rest of the earthquake I intend to do a little trip after the 7 days but if my parents return and found ruins instead of a house it wouldn¡¯t be funny having your parents think that you are dead beneath of your own house¡­. I just hope that they are safe¡­.


    Now that the house tasks are done and the foxes only should awake up tomorrow maybe I could go see if my neighbors are at least alive¡­.


    Preparing to leave I put my katana on my belt after having done an iron scabbard and with the long sword on my hand I leave the house.


    My closest neighbor it¡¯s a 5 minutes¡¯ walk but  I never talk to them before, the only neighbor that I talk to is at 20 minutes¡¯ walk from my house but they house is surrounded by others houses and I really didn¡¯t want to go there it is too dangerous, too many places to hid¡­.


    I take the dirt road, being careful to don¡¯t be caught off guard; I saw many rabbits some with a horn and some normal ones I wanted to see what the rabbits evolved to but it looks like they keep the distance. I think this is estrange they should be attacking me¡­¡­ mmmhhh¡­¡­ maybe because I smell like fox??? Maybe that¡¯s it.


    I didn¡¯t see any fox; well I guess that they¡¯re more night hunters¡­.


    Oohhh I don¡¯t see guys like that in years, what I saw was a boar they used to live here but the hunters don¡¯t know how to hold back so I thought that they have all die but it looks like I was wrong.


    And unlick the rabbits this guy isn¡¯t shy and prepared to attack. While raising my long sword I take a look to my opponent.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Earth Boar</td><td>Evolution: 1</td></tr><tr><td colspan=''2''>Evolution route: Boar-> Earth Boar


    A boar that loves dirt and mud.</td></tr><tr><td>Age:</td><td>2 years</td></tr><tr><td>Know attacks:</td><td>-??????;

    Well this will be harder that what I thought it already evolve and have at least 2 attacks and I don¡¯t have any idea of what the attacks does.


    Taking an iron spear I put away my long sword, I have a feeling that I don¡¯t want to be close to that thing¡­.


    As I pick up the spear the boar charge at me and as I was about to dodge a rock wall appear next to me sealing my movements and I was about to get it I teleport behind the boar and was about to kill the boar with the spear I realize that the boar didn¡¯t spot and continued running making a big circle to attack me again and as he is fast I can¡¯t attack after teleporting because I stay stunned for 1 second always that I teleport, so I have to attack head on so I try to do something that I once saw in one movie, I manipulate the earth and suck my spear on the ground on an angle and stay in front of the spear with the spear edge behind my knee to hid it from the boar.


    The boar was now approaching and I was surrounded by walls, just has I was about to get impaled by the boar tusks I teleport to some distance away and turn to see the boar getting impaled in the throat by the spear and I was amazed to see that the boar was still alive and my spear brook¡­ shit the spear was made by earth magic and this guy can also use something similar so I guess that it isn¡¯t that surprising that the spear could only do a small wound but that is all that I need.


    Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    Unsheathing my katana I start running to the stunned boar and taking the sword above my head I teleport to the side off the boar and swing my sword decapitating the boar. Wow I wasn¡¯t expecting to be capable of cutting is head off.


    As I was about to clean off the blood from the katana I noticed that the sword was absorbing the blood and at a fast speed at that¡­.


    I tried to see what the system as to say about this but it is still analyzing the sword well I create it so for the good or for the bad it¡¯s still my responsibility, so I feed it all blood from the boar and some mana but once the sword absorbed all the blood it also stopped receiving mana¡­ mmhhh¡­. Interesting I have to do some experiments with this.


    Putting the body on the void space I make my way to my neighbor¡¯s house.


    I arrive at the house gate, the house only has one floor and the garage is on a different building the walls surrounding the house have at least 1, 60 m but with my new strength it¡¯s easy to climb with mines 1,85 m.


    After passing the wall I knock on the house.


    ¡°Hello is someone home?¡±


    Nobody? Well this all started on a Sunday so many people weren¡¯t at home¡­well I guess that they didn¡¯t care if I took some provisions¡­. Making a hole in the wall I get in¡­ looking around I saw that I was on the living room, looking at a ps4 in front of the TV and remembering that is now useless I cried a little ¡­..


    Looking around the house I noticed all the cracks on the walls and ceiling, I wasn¡¯t surprised to see the house still standing because this house only have 4 years while mine have 6 so if mine still didn¡¯t go down this one shouldn¡¯t have either¡­.


    In the kitchen I pick up some supplies and some juice and some energy drinks, water is easy to come by but this type of drinks will eventually disappear¡­.


    Almost empty all the kitchen supplies I search the house for something useful, and was happy to see a shotgun and a box full of ammo on the garage hidden on a closet that was now on the ground.


    I was about to leave to return home but I didn¡¯t want to feel like a thief so to compensate the owner I fix the house.


    Happy with what I gain with this trip I make my way back to home making sure to close the hole I made in the wall.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.


    I almost reach home when I felt something hitting my back and then the pain from hitting with the face on the floor, stunned because of the sudden attack without warning I try to get up only to be hit again and fuck this hurts. To prevent the same mistake I teleport to 10 m above in the air to see what is attacking me, and when I appear on the sky I saw a rock hitting the place I was 2 seconds ago.


    Looking to the origin of the attack I see another boar but this one is bigger its tusks reach my chest and they aren¡¯t the tallest spot on the boar¡­


    Teleporting again to behind the boar I used identify on it.

    Fuck the defense in size from evolution 1 to evolution 2 is no joke it double in size if this type of power up is constant a level 5 boar is bigger that my home, and I think that those 2 rock blast didn¡¯t break my ribs because I strength my bones or it was game over¡­ But still hurts like shit and I think I have internal bleeding¡­


    I need to finish this fast to heal my wounds, so I took 2 short spear and thrown them to the boar who is still looking for me, but once the spears hit the boar they ship away some rocks and then fall to the ground dealing no damage to the boar¡­. That prick is using some type of rock armor and also uses earth magic so I¡¯m screwed¡­.


    Taking out the shotgun I load it and wait for the charging boar to come closer while aiming¡­


    When the boar was 2 meters away I fired once and teleport 5 meters back to fire again but the only thing that I did was 2 holes in is rock armor that didn¡¯t even reach the skin¡­


    Fuck my earth magic and weapon don¡¯t work, I don¡¯t have none void attack spell and from dark I only have dark cloaking¡­¡­. Wait maybe that cold work¡­. Unsheathing my katana I covered it with dark cloaking and prepare to receive the boar who was now charging at me again.


    Waiting to the boar to reach me I look into his eyes and noticed that this huge piece of meat and rock don¡¯t even considered to use earth wall he is only toying with me thinking that I have no way to hurt him¡­. Well if guess that in this area it should have anything stronger than this guy but even so¡­.


    When the boar reach me I dodge to the right and slash it with my sword cutting the rock like butter and making him bleed.


    Looks like I can kill it, I really don¡¯t like to run away¡­


    Seeing that I can wound him the boar entered in frenzy forgetting that it could use magic and only charged at full speed, seeing this I couldn¡¯t help but grin. I started to run at the charging boar and in the last second I dodge to the left and swing my sword to its leg and cut it off. Well I guess that is game over the boar is now on the ground trying get up crying like a¡­.. well crying like a pig¡­ I approached him to end is life but when I got closed the boar armor began to tremble, feeling the danger I teleport away and them saw the boar armor explode sending rocks everywhere leaving the boar unprotected, looks like this is his last skill sacrificing his armor to damage all the surrounded enemies¡­ I approached the boar again and stab him in the heart with the katana leaving the katana in the body to absorb the blood I sit on the floor to catch my breath and ¡®feed¡¯ the katana.


    When I reach home I fell on the floor¡­


    ¡°Today was a long day¡±


    ¡­ and fell asleep

    Sorry for the irregular¡¯s updates but I¡¯m waiting for internet to arrive it should take 2 weeks, and then I will post at least a chapter on weekends¡­.


    Chapter 8: Surprise and New Skill


    Yesterday i was so tired that i didn¡¯t even felt the earthquake, well i guess that now that I don¡¯t have to worry about the house falling on my head I can get a good night of sleep.


    And I would have slept much better if 3 oversized foxes with 3 tails each didn¡¯t give me a morning bath with their tongues; they are now as big as the rock boar, what means that they have a big tongue¡­.


    ¡®Papa¡¯ (x3)


    ¡°What? What was that?¡± (Philip)


    ¡®Bad papa you don¡¯t know us?¡¯ (x3)


    ¡°You 3 can talk now?¡± (Philip)


    ¡®We can only talk with papa or with each other¡¯ (x3)


    ¡°Why can you guys only talk with me? And why are you 3 talking at the same time?¡± (Philip)


    ¡®Papa you are silly we can only telepathically talk with papa because we are mentally connected and we talk at the same time because papa was lazy and copied the same information to the 3 of us exactly the same way and you still didn¡¯t name us¡­.. bad papa¡­.¡¯ (x3)


    ¡°uhhh? Ahhhh¡­ only noticed now that you guys are talking to my head¡­. It¡¯s weird¡­. And I was planning to name you guys once you woke up¡­..mmmhhhh¡­. you have light affinity so I call you LUX (light in Latin) and your sister is your opposite the other side of the coin, always different but always together, I call you CALIGA (darkness in Latin) and the big brother that has the duty to protect his sisters I call you ALTOR (protector in Latin)¡±  (Philip)


    Once I said their names they shine for a second and then¡­


    ¡®I will do my best to complete my mission¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡®I love my name thanks papa¡¯ (Caliga)


    ¡®Why does it look like my name is so simple?¡¯ (Lux)


    ¡°Well it looks like it worked, having you 3 talking at the same time about the same things was starting to get annoying, and Lux you don¡¯t like your name?¡± (Philip)


    ¡®Altor and Caliga their names are cool but mine is so simple¡­.¡¯ (Lux)


    ¡°Lux your name may be simple but its meaning doesn¡¯t lose to your brother and its cute no?¡± (Philip)


    ¡®haahhh papa said that I was the cutest.¡¯ (Lux)


    Why the hell is she blushing? And how can a fox blush? I thought to myself.


    ¡®NO!!! He didn¡¯t said you were cute he said that your name is cute.¡¯ (Caliga)


    ¡®Arara are you jealous sister?¡¯ (Lux)


    Then instead of responding Caliga pushed me down and started linking my face, then looked to Lux and stuck her tongue out to her.


    ¡°Girls calm down we have much to do and Altor say something.¡± (Philip)


    ¡®Father you said to protect them not you¡­.¡¯ (Altor)


    I stared at Altor who was getting comfortable on my ¡®bed¡¯ like this situation has nothing to do with him¡­


    ¡°¡­ I guess you are right but you could say something to help me¡± (Philip)


    ¡®¡­¡¯ (Altor)


    Altor only laid his head down and¡­..Wait is he sleeping??? The hell??? Here I am in the floor with two oversized foxes fighting on top of me and my only possible ally is sleeping like this has nothing to do with him¡­.


    While depressed I use identify on my new¡­. family members???

    Ooohhh they jumped to the level 2 evolution thanks to me¡­.. It¡¯s a good think right??? Well they didn¡¯t kill me when I was sleeping and they look healthy so it should be ok¡­.


    ¡°Now girls I like you both but I have much to do and you already know how to use your skills?¡± (Philip)


    They both stopped when I said that I liked them and turn their heads away what is funny when you can see it from my perspective (they still have their front legs on my torso), but when I asked if they know how to control their skills they both look at me and¡­.. grin? That is scary when they try to smile they can only show their fangs and that is more scary that anything not that I¡¯m going to tell them.


    ¡®Of course we know how to control our skills papa that¡¯s easy.¡¯ (Lux)


    ¡®When we evolved we gained new skills and know right away how to use them.¡¯ (Caliga)


    ¡°Ahh?? That¡¯s a cheat I have to learn how to use my skills and you guys only *puff* and know everything?¡± (Philip)


    ¡®We only know how to use the skills that we gained thought evolving and as father can see they are limited.¡¯ (Altor)


    Who answers me was the sleeping fox who didn¡¯t even open his eyes.


    ¡°Oh! You are still awake Altor? I thought that you were having a nice dream by now.¡± (Philip)


    ¡®¡­¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°I see that you are a man/fox of few words.¡± (Philip)


    ¡®¡­¡¯ (Altor)


    I don¡¯t know what to do with these 3 foxes, 2 only fight with one another and the last one doesn¡¯t care about anything¡­.. I only wanted some pets to have some company *tear on the eye*.


    If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    ¡°Ok guys I like you all and have lots of things to talk to you about but I have some things to do.¡± (Philip)


    Gently pushing the sisters aside I got up and go to my bedroom since I reformed the house I don¡¯t have to worry about it falling down or monsters getting in at least I still didn¡¯t see non until now but I think that a level 3 boar can burst in, I can only hope that there isn¡¯t anything like that around.


    ¡®Papa, can we go play outside?¡¯ (Caliga)


    ¡®Can we papa?¡¯ (Lux)


    ¡°¡­¡­.just don¡¯t go too far away I will leave the door open so that you can get inside, and Altor please take care of you sisters.¡± (Philip)


    I barely open the door when 2 foxes storm passed me and the third one lazily got up and walked behind his hyper sisters¡­ I just don¡¯t get these guys dark and water should be calm elements¡­. It seems that the elements mix was a mistake¡­.


    I was going to my bedroom to do some experiments but I can¡¯t leave the door open and leave these guys without supervision so I get a chair and sit outside next to the door.


    First thing let¡¯s see what the update was.

    Oohhhh maybe now we will have slimes??? That would be¡­.. Interesting? But jokes aside virus and deceases will become even more dangerous ¡­. It looks like I would need some light skills like heal¡­¡­ or maybe Lux can use them¡­¡­ I would look at that later.


    What I¡¯m worried about now is that yesterday I was so tired that I didn¡¯t spend my points so I¡¯m a little afraid of what the system brought for me¡­.

    And that¡¯s it the system used my 50 000+ points on this ability and that¡¯s it. I don¡¯t know how to feel about it, it could be a useful skill but 50 K points that¡¯s too much for a single skill¡­ And why can I only ¡®transform¡¯ to those 3?

    ¡®Just a little more, please.¡¯ (Caliga)


    ¡®I will not lose¡­..*grrr*¡¯ (Lux)


    They are just like kids, they are ¡®playing¡¯ war and Caliga is winning. Altor is in a corner sleeping, I¡¯m starting to worry about that guy.


    Let¡¯s see if this works.


    ¡°The first one inside gets the biggest piece of level 2 boar.¡± (Philip)


    I don¡¯t know what happened I only feel a gust of wind while the sisters were still running to me who was right next to the door¡­.. I look to see who run past me in record time¡­. And saw Altor sit inside with his tail shaking at an amazing speed¡­..


    ¡°What got to you Altor?¡± (Philip)


    ¡®¡­.Hungry.¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°You never eat meat so why are you so eager?¡± (Philip)


    ¡®Father''s memories¡­ your memories¡­ boar delicious.¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°How do you have my memories unless¡­..I also copied my memories¡­. If that¡¯s the case you know what happened to your parents¡­¡± (Philip)


    ¡®¡­. Yes we know¡­.¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°Then why¡­..¡± (Philip)


    Then the 2 late fox knock me down.


    ¡®You are on the way papa.¡¯ (Lux)


    ¡®Meat I want meat.¡¯ (Caliga)


    I guess we can discuss this later.


    ¡°Alright guys I still have to skin it¡± (Philip)


    ¡®Bad father you promised meat.¡¯  (Altor)


    ¡°I have some lizard if you can¡¯t wait.¡±  (Philip)


    ¡®What evolution?¡¯(Altor)


    ¡°Does that matter?¡±(Philip)


    ¡®Bigger evolution¡­ more mana¡­ more delicious¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°ohh! Really I can¡¯t wait to taste the difference between boar level 1 and level 2. I have meat from 2 levels 1 water lizard and a level 2 carnivorous water lizard.¡±(Philip)


    ¡®Water lizards? They use water magic?¡¯(Lux)


    ¡°Of course, why does that make them better too?¡±(Philip)


    ¡®Same type of mana gives us more strength. ¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°How do you know things that I don¡¯t know? You are only a few days old.¡± (Philip)


    ¡®Evolution brings knowledge¡­ if you can understand it. ¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°That is interesting I can¡¯t wait to evolve myself¡± (Philip)


    After that I gave them the level 2 meat and got to my job.


    ¡­¡­..


    What I got from the 2 boars was 4 tusks and 2 hides, one big enough to do a full suit.


    To remove the rock from the level 2 boar I have to use dark clothing on my knife, or I wouldn¡¯t be able to remove the rock armor without the sledgehammer¡­


    While I was cleaning the bathtub Altor got in and stopped by my side.


    ¡°You know what I did to your parents.¡± (Philip)


    ¡®Yes, we know¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°Then why you call me father? And why I¡¯m still alive you 3 could have killed me when I was asleep.¡± (Philip)


    ¡®We could have and we almost did.¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°Then¡­.¡±  (Philip)


    ¡®Killing you won¡¯t bring our parents back, and you aren¡¯t a bad guy¡­ you just didn¡¯t want to be alone.¡¯ (Altor)


    ¡°¡­..Thank you¡± (Philip)


    ¡®But if those 2 get hurt because of you I would kill you myself¡¯ (Altor)
