《The Second Chance》 Chapter 1 : Day 0 Chapter 1 Hey, how are you? This one is my first time trying to write something, well,english isn''t my native lenguage so please, don''t mind the errors, also I will thank beforehand anyone who can help me pointing where I can do better or somthing I can put in the story, as it isn''t something I planned. I hope you all enjoy it ^^ There won''t be a fixed size of chapters and no fixed release time, as my life as a studend is pretty hard... Also let me explain, as maybe it can become confusing, in the begining of each chapter, there can be some phrase before the day number, it is the main character in the future. It''s my first time trying to write something, as I decided to stop being just a leecher hahaha, english isn''t my native lenguage, so please be gentle! haha also, any hints where I can improve and where I can focus, where you guys think that isn''t interesting I will gladly acept with open arms! To speak the truth I''m really nervous. Sorry for wasting your time,and thank you for reading! -----------//-------------------------------//------------------------------------------------------//-----------------------//----------- Chapter 1:Prologue To the one who finds my journal, here lies the memories of Iki Mortem, first of my name and someone from two worlds Day 0 -Where am I? Looking around I saw a white room, nothing but a white room with a mirror in the wall, a simple but well made mirror in a frame carved from wood. -Why the hell am I naked?!''how did I get here? What is that fucking number on my chest?!'' I felt a excruciating pain as memories of me, my death began flooding my head. Yes, you read right, I said death, well, how can I explain, I was going back home after a party with some friends, well not really just friends, to me those bastards were like a brothers. Well, I guess that not all of them though of me the same way... Why do I say that hahaha well, when 13 drugged guys go after you and your friends for your money saying that they will kill you is when you see who is your true friend. No one sane would say to everyone run while you hold them for a while, well, I''m not sane whem it''s for those I care, we were in 8 if all of us fough back we would have won! Well only me and one, JUST ONE, of those that i called brothers standed beside me till the very end. I can''t blame they, even drunk that thing fucking hurted! No, those bastards didn''t contend themselves with just killing us, they fucking tortured us! They cut my finghers, my ears, gutted me and something that I will never forgive... they cut my dick. I have a complex about my dick, to those wondering why, let me describe how I was before:17years old, 178 centimeres of height, 68 kilograms, black hair, black eyes, a slightly above average face, a little bit of defined muscles because of martial arts,always one of the most inteligent of the class, but too lazy to give a damn about that,well I guess thats it. Oh, almost forgot to explain about my complex, the reason is that I''m asian, and live in the ocident, it''s self explanatory, as you can imagine jokes about jap dick every time. Thats the reason my anger, I can''t have someone getting it shorter, so with all of the strenght that I had left I bit the neck of the one with the knife, after that I woke up here, I don''t know what happened to my friend, my one and only real friend, hope he didn''t suffered a slow death like mine, I couldn''t see him from where I was, and screams? Forget about that, he was to pridefull to scream...or just died fast, don''t know. One of the things that I always thought thath would happen when I died was, well nothing, I am, or better saying I was an atheist, but that is something for later, as I heard an androgynous voice coming from somewhere in the room. -Soul number 1998763426001, move closer to the mirror, the process of selecting your new body will begin. As I didn''t have anything better to do than to count if all my parts are here, I did as the voice said. -First step.Chose your specie, species are the being that you will be born in your the next world as, the specie is not a permanent thing in the next world, as it''s possible to evolve when reach a ceirtain level as a monster, animal or plant, the races avaliable for evolution are based on certain conditions.Sentinent species like humans,elfs and dwarfs have a diferent sistem.After reicarnation, say "status" so that your information will be displayed to you. "Wait, level?Evolution?New world? Well, don''t have anything to lose anyway." Reaching near the mirror I saw a list of names of animals some that I knew, some that I didn''t, some of creatures that I only heard in fiction stories. In the highest part of the mirror it was saying only two things, species and karma. The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. -What the fuck is karma? Well, i didn''t expect an answer, but one actually did come for me. -Karma is a value based on the good actions that you did in your life, current karma points: 9777. I guess that i didn''t do many good actions in my life as i should, the number in the side of the word human was saying 10.000kp, elfs 50.000kp.Really, I should have done more good actions... "Well, lets see what I can choose." After about one hour of internal debate of what should I choose...(sounds of drums)... I couldn''t choose... it was too much for me, if you had to choose something to live your life as, you can''t help but feel insecure. Have you ever played any online card game, like thoose were you have some creatures, build your deck and so? Well, in these kinds of sistem there''s always some kind of way to buy new cards, were the more money you use, the higher your chances of adquiring something better, like someone who paid 100 dollars would have better chances to have a high tier creature than someone who paid 1 dollar. In this case there was something similar, I put 3000 kp in it! So of course, I expect something good! Another thing that was interesting was something like a filter, I choose the filters, ''Reptile'' and ''High Potential'', of course, it wasn''t for free, nothing is for free... tsc, it was 500 kp, but it should be good. Why did I choose reptiles? When I was alive, my friends called me "calango" due to the fact that I since a kid was somewhat skinny, to those wondering what "calango" means, it is a regional way to refer to small lizards. When they said that I would always refute saying "I am a dragon in development!" aaaah good times, but yeah, after they said evolution I though, why not? Why not try to be a dragon? Why not try to be powerfull? In my last world what killed me wasn''t those guys, it was my own weakness. I don''t want to be weak, not anymore... From this moment on my path is decided, I will become the strongest in my new world! But what do with all the power that I achieve?... Oh! Why didn''t I think about that before? Dominate the world! Hahaha. What to do when I dominate the world? ... Well only time(and the autor, and the me who wrote this journal)will know. -Ok done with choosing my race... and with my cool inner monologue. -Last step. Choose skills, skills will help you in your life, they can be adquired in many ways, the younger you try to get a skill, the easier. Let''s see whath I can get here... hohoho, it seems I hit jackpot, why?Because I found a few good skills, I found a skill called inate knowledge, it costs 1000kp, it can make me remember my past life in this new one...well, it''s better than having an animal mentality, how do I know what it does? Because I''m a genius!...and not because there was a discription in the side of the skill... Another one interesting that I found was Fast learning rate, well ,self explanatory, it''s about 700kp.Fast growing rate, allowing me to gain stats faster hehehe, about 1000kp. Other I found was "Mutation Customization". It seems I can change my body form when I evolve, but of course, whit a certain limit, it costed me 500kp. I choose this one because it seemed fun... and not because I will make me have a gigantic dick... No! Never! Hehehe. And to make a combo with the last one...(sound of drums... again) my golden skill, all breeder! This way I can make offspring whit any other race I find in my way, and since that ever since I was 12 I had some sort of pervert libido... hehehe. Found something interesting, It was a part saying to crate a new skill for... hehehe now it will be worth losing all that time reading light novels. I created the most OP skill that I could remember, it was from a light novel about a guy who could gain abilities and powers from enemies he ate. it was a little bit expensive, but since that it was the first time someone tried to create this skill I recieved a discount of 99%... and it still was 3000kp... really? I mean, fucking really? No one tried to create it? And look at that price! I almost can see me going OP, killing gods, demons and whatever more I find in my way *-*... it would be a funny sight see me killing a, don''t know? A god?... Since 77kp doesn''t make that great of a diference I choose to finish now. -Ok, all done here. -Launching reincarnation in 3,2,1... After that, all went black... ---------------------//-------------------------//---------------------------------//-----------------//--------------------- So, what you think about it? please, give me hint''s where I can improve and where you guys liked. Also, don''t forget to rate and follow XD! Chapter 2: Day 1~8 Chapter 2 The day I killed my siblings for lust of power is one of the days that I regret till today. Day ??? What now? I tried to fell my suroundings, I''m in a tight space aaaaah I want to get out of here! I try to punch, kick my small prison, but it''s too strong, just you wait! I wont be trapped here forever! Day 1 Finally! I''m breaking free! I can see a light in here! God dammit, you only know how light and oxigen is important when you''re without it. What? I was inside a egg all this time? At least that reincarnation thing went well, I think... Aaah you don''t have any idea of gow much I would like to say that I became a dragon, or wyvern, or at least a big snake, but no, destiny plays some bad games with people. Righ now I am a lizard, a small lizard about the size of a iguana, well, for a newborn I guess that will do... I have tick and strong legs, a long body with a muscular tail and strange but still beautiful green scales, whit a bit of red here and there. I must be an idiot thinking that I would be able to go doing badass thing right away after birth, if you think like that try to walk using the body of a fucking iguana! It must be some kind of instinctive thing but I get the hang of it quite fast. I walked around the cave for a bit and saw another eggs, like mine, maybe they''re my brothers and sisters, I wonder why they didn''t hatch as fast as me... must be because I am special... and not because was so bored that I began to dance inside the egg, no, never... I can feel the fresh air flowing around this cave, so I began looking for a exit, in the mean time I could notice some insects around here, not small insects like I knew, but some of them were half of my size! Why did I just notice that I am hungry? Must be the new information overloading my head, well, nevermind, lets just try to catch one of these giant centipedes for lunch. I''d like to say that I whit all my skills as a hunter killed and ate all the insects in this cave. But those fuckers are damn fast! I''m already furious! How can I dominate the world without even catching a insect?! -STOP RUNNING YOU FUCKING MAGGOT! After my scream something strange happened to me, I could feel a hot sensation going through my body and after that a ball of fire appeared and gone straight in the centipede killing it instantly! Holy cow! WTF was that? Did I just used magic? This shit is amazing! This sensation of power running through your body is something that''s impossible to explain. For now, lets just begin eating, using that fireball made me starved! It''s pretty hard and crunchy but the flavor isn''t that bad, maybe a little too roasted, but it ''s still good.

Stolen story; please report. Race description: magical lizards are weak race, when a magical lizard is born they have 100% affinity toward a random element, making them good partners to novice mages, a magical lizard is a calm monster that usualy hunts alone, after they lay eggs, they will leave the offspring on their own. A long time ago, magical lizards were oftem breed and evolved artificially to produce strong creatures, but the wild ones always were more powerfull than the tamed ones, having also better evolutional paths. I see, so I am a magical lizard huh? And what about that inflated intelligence? Well, I don''t know wath is the standart for normal newborn status, but I guess I''m quite strong! And my siblings and I have random elements! I guess mine is fire huh? Wait a minute, we''re on our own whit thoose fucking giant insects? Well, I like challenges hehehe And I have an Idea what to do to become stronger hehehe... For now, lets just wait my siblings to hatch... Day 8 Finally!I am now able to run at full speed. Since my birthday, or should I say hatchday? nevermind. Ever since that day I began to Explore this cave, It is way bigger than I though at first. I even found a lake in here, thank god that there wasn''t anithing bigger than me here, did I say I greew a bit? Bit isn''t the right word, I guess I shoud have said a lot! I''m about 3 meters long, counting with the tail, and am about the same height as a big dog, like a husky! There were some big things in here, but nothing that was really dangerous. Aaah, did I say I gained new skills? Let me tell you about it a bit, remember that centipede that I killed in the first day? That was a small one, tere were a few that were 4 meter long but they weren''t as strong as me, there were also some kind of gian bat that tried to eat me once, i just uses my fire and ate like a king that night. I tried to hunt theese creatures, but when tey saw me, they all runned alway, so i had to learn how to hunt in the shadows so that I could kill them before they notice me.

I also found the exit of the cave, but there was a smal problem... or better saying a big, very big problem! The exit of the cave was guarded by a bear! A fucking bear! And the biggest I ever seen! I first saw him when he was asleep, laying down, he had about 2m in height, he was gigantic! Thank god he couldn''t pass by the path I came, suck it you giant meat ball! But I also can''t exit the cave, I will have to find another way, when I was thinking of passing witouth him noticing me, a bunch of wolves, about 7 of them, tried to enter the cave. The moment the first one put it''s paw in the cave, the bear woke up. It was an incredible sight, he moved in a way that should be impossible due to his gigantic body, and after that I only saw blood and meat, blood and meat everywhere! there even was a part that came my way and, of course, I ate it.

Well, lizards have scales, and it seems that my dick is inside these scales...I didn''t have time to look for it because everything here tried to kill me! I just have some good news, my dick is huge! *-* And if one wasn''t enought, I have 3! Muahahahaha I fear dor the virginity of every female out there!(Only the pretty ones) Muahahaha. After having the best news of my life, my two lifes, I go back to where I put the eggs, as the room in the cave was getting too smal for me. When I reached there I saw something strange, the eggs where broke, and near the eggs where a bunch little geckos, geckos of various colors, 13 geckos in total, strange, one egg didn''t hatch. -Papa! Papa! Did I hear it right? They are calling me papa? Wait wait wait, we can talk? Wow thats new for me. -Sorry little one... It looked like it didn''t understand what I said, well, it pains me, but I will have to do it. After I said it, I killed and ate all of them. [/tr]100% Darkness Affinity Adquired

Six wings! And Let''s customize my appearence! Let''s see... Let''s make me tall, 196 centimeters, well build body, nothing too much, light skin, yellow eyes, snow white hair and a handsome face, don''t ask me what is a handsome face! Think in the most handsome face you can imagine and multiply by 9000,that''s my new face. hehe ( ?¡ã ?? ?¡ã) -Ok, all done here ... Gyaaaahhhh!!!! Aaah it hurts! Shiiiiiiit!!!! I feel my flesh ripping apart, my bones breaking! Fuuuuuck It hurts like hell! I feels like I''m burning burning!! I can''t take it anymore... Day 10 Aaaah it feels so refreshing! After yesterday everything feels refreshing... I try to stand up, wobbling I try to stretch myself when I notice... I''m in human form! Or almost a human form... It feels so strange! My new wings and arms are dificult to control. Try to have the coordination to move 6 arms at the same time! It''s hard as hell! and my new wings are so cool! At least they dosn''t have feathers, they are like leather, but way more resistent. I have some scales in this form near my ribs,hands, forearms, my back and below the knees, I have claws in my fingers an toes. And of course, my tail, full of spikes, they look deadly! I tried to pluck one of them out, and almost intantly another one growed in it''s place! I found my new weapon hehe. Then I notice something even stranger than that... There''s a bunch of bananas in my crotch! And they''re huge, two of them can move like tentacles, 150 centimeter tentacles! Hehehe... Enjoying this book?

The intelligence makes sense, I can think faster and in a more accurate way than before, but still, it''s too much. [th_0v.gif] -Maybe now I can get out of this cave... for now let''s try to learn how to fly, later I will kill that bear... ---------------//-------------//------ Hey guys, here''s another chapter, tried to fiz the tables. Don''t forget to follow, coment and rate XD. Also Thank you all again for reading! :grin: Chapter 4 : Day 11 Chapter 4 Every king needs loyal subjects. Day 11 My body is still aching from yesterday... let me tell you something, fly is harder than you think! Maintain balance was easy, but trying to do that chasing something, not so much, it seems that my lizard form is better for flight, it''s long body seems to be able to reach higher speeds and be easier to make manouvers. In the beggining it seemed easy, but being overconfident and trying to chase a bat is not a good idea. The walls here don''t taste good. Another thing that I noticed was that this cave don''t seem to have any intteligent life form, the little lizards were able to speak and I was able to learn a canine language after eating the wolves, but the bat''s dosn''t seem to be able to comunicate with other species or with themselves, if they could, I''d be able to understand them after eating some of them and learning the skill. It also isn''t by echolocation, as I have the skill, if they could talk using it, I would know.Maybe. After that I reached a conclusion, I want to get out of this cave. I don''t have found anything worth of wasting time here, I used echolocation and haven''t found nothing out of the ordinary, if there was a gap in the walls I''d be able to sense them, there were only two alternatives, trying to explore the deeps of the underground lake or trying to fight the bear, if there was any passage that I could be use in the underground lake, it would be my ticket for freedom, but the problem is, I don''t know how long it would take to find the exit, the second choice sounded as something only a retard would do, but it''s better than drowing in the lake, so I choose the bear. It seemed asleep, but I knew better than trying to poke it right at the face. I saw what it did with that wolf, I don''t want to become bear food. As I got nearer the room where I saw the bear last time I heard sounds of a battle. I could hear the sounds of explosions, the sonds of war cries, the sound of metal beeing crushed, the sounds of men dying in agony. And one of the most terrifings roar I ever heard. - GET OUT OF MY CAVE! I was stunned for a second, as soon as I got back to normal I flew as fast as I could to see what was happening, against the wolves it didn''t even tried, but wath kind of enemy could make such beast show this amount of anger and bloodlust? What I saw shocked me. The floor of that small cave was full of mangled corpses, almost all of them were mangled beyond recognition, with their insides torn of their bodies, bones outside their bodies and blood spilled everywhere. The worst part was that they were humans, if I could guess right, there were about one hundread living humans, each second there were less of them alive, and more joining the dead in the floor, the bear wasn''t in a good condition either, it''s thick fur was ragged with swords, axes and spears penetrating his flesh. In the human ranks there were knights in plate armor and with big shields in the front, behind them were mages shooting fire speels at the bear, and behind the mages were priests, healing their injured knights, but they didn''t seem to have any more breath anymore, all of them were exausted, except for one, a fat man mounted on a big horse, he were expensive clothes and his expression disgusted me. He looked like he was watching a show, he was enjoing the spectacle. Near the fat man were a group of bodyguards, they looked strong, their armor was a step above from the knights in the front row. Then I looked at the bear, a majestic creature reduced to such a state was something I couldn''t admit, as I observed the situation, the humans seemed to have the winning hand. The bear looked like he only continued by his sheer willpower, that''s when I decided to intervent, with light magic I healed the bear wounds, the humans were so shocked to see the bears wounds recovering that they didn''t saw me flying as fast as I could with the help of wind magic, I rammed the priests in the last row, trowing spikes everywhere then I looked at the fat man, his face was contorted with anger, he looked at me as if I had interrupted the best part of the show. I jumped at the fat man, but a fireball hit me at my right side, it didn''t hurt me, but it angered, angered me as hell that that fat pile of shit was alive, I had seen these tipes before in my last life, the ones with the sadistic smiles and the face that seemed like he was the puppeter and the others were just toys. I was killed by people with such look in their faces. As I remembered the death that took me a few days ago,my anger took over. I could hear faint crack that my body made, my muscles bulked as I was ready to charge at the fat man. I tried to stab him with my horns, but one of his bodyguards jumped in front of me. I hit his shield and to my surprise, the shield was bend and my horns had pierced his chest armor, but still, it made me angrier. The sound of crack became stronger at each second, the bodyguards faces showed fear, not only at the big lizard that destroyed a men in full armor as it was nothing, they were looking at my horns. The cracking sound I heard before was lightning magic charging. I didn''t have full control of my magic yet, but I didn''t expect it would activate itself. As I though that, a big yellow lightining gone straight at the bodyguards metal armor, as metal is a conductor, all of them were affected by such attack, I didn''t pay attention to them. My target is other. The fat mans faced showed surprise, and then fear, he made his horse run back, probably to the way they came from. No way in hell I would let that happens! I trowed spikes as fast as I could, till I hit the horse''s leg. The horse fell on the floor together with the fat man, the fat man was rolling over the floor. Then he looked at me, I was aproching him slowly, I wanted to apreciate the moment as much as I could. The fat man looked with fear at me, screaming and crying, I didn''t understand what he said, but he must be begging for his life. His back hit a tree, he didn''t have anywhere to run. I was only ten meters away from him, coming closer at each second. The fat man pissed in his pants, the smell of urine mixed with blood and burned flesh in the air made me sick. I was right at the front of the fat men, I could feel his disgusting breath right at my face, he was screaming more than a scared child, I wouldn''t let it finish so fast, I want to make it slowly... with my front claw I ripped his hand off, after that u burned it with fire magic so that he won''t die of blood loss, after that I did the same with his arms, feet and legs, whenever he fainted I used water magic with weak lightning magic to make him wake up, only to feel suffer and faint again. His scream now were getting in my nerves, so I bit his shoulder, putting a slow acting poison in his body, to let him agonizate to death. Them I remembered, the bear! I forgot about everything, even the sound of the battle couldn''t reach my ears as I was making that bastard pay. I looked toward were I saw the bear last time only to see it looking at me, with the corpses of the knights and mages near his feet. After I trowed my spikes to kill as many priests as I could, and a few mages nearby, the knights couldn''t hold the bear anymore, thinking better, they didn''t look like knights, more like mercenaries. Aniway, it seemed that the they couldn''t stand against the bear after their support was killed. After that it was an easy victory to the bear. I liked his way, he didn''t attack me, even when he could kill me easily behind my back. The bear saw me walking his way, my black scales covered in human blood refleting the sunlight, if any human saw me now, they would be running away for their lives. -I owe you my life, lizard, what is your name? Then it came to me, he spoke canine language, I once readed about the evolution of a race of dog that evolved to bears, but I didn''t think he would use that language, it helps me a lot to don''t have to eat a bear to speak with it. It must be at least a little bit intelligent being to be able to speak. -My name is Iki, and yours? -Relog, the brown. I have never seen you here before, where did you come from? Shit, will I be interrogated by a 5 meter tall bear? Well, nothing to lose I think, I only lived by 11 days, what would I do in 11 days?... Oh yeah, I did that...rest in piece little lizards... they were tasty... - Well, I lived all live in the insides of that cave after all. -What!? In my cave!? -Yep, there''s various passages that you can''t pass, you''re too big. -I see... -Anyway,where are we? It''s my first time outside that cave, what do you have to tell about this forest? Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! In the middle of all that confusion I didn''t pay attention to where we were. Everything around was covered in snow, the trees seemed like pines and from where we stood, I could see mountains, maybe a few days away at walking speed.I don''t know how big is this forest but I notice something strange, I don''t have any fur but it''s not cold... maybe my specie isn''t cold blooded. -We are in a forest, this part of it is my territory, in that direction stays the Grey Wolf territory, in that is the territory of the territory of the Black Boar and there, there is the Snow Leopard territory, it''s the biggest one, he lives in that mountain far away. He pointed respectively to the west, then southeast and last the north. -For now let''s eat, Iki, you saved my life, I owe you. Then he began to eat the corpses of the humans that came to attack us... It was a disturbing sight. Maybe he noticed the way I was looking at him. -What''s wrong? -No Not! Nothing! Stuttering my words, I answered him. Be strong Iki! You have to do that in order to get stronger you idiot! Coming closer to the bodie of one of the mages I began to eat it. It is a disgusting feeling. Trying to eat a being that you were for 17 years isn''t a walk in the park. The taste was a little bit sweet, but at the same time, strong. The taste of blood in my mouth is good, this is the best thing I ate since coming here. Maybe the wolf meat was better, but I didn''t had time to see how it tasted, after all, I was in a hurry at that time. Only after I begun eating I noticed how hungry I was, I began eating in frenzy, when the taste was beggining to become repetitive, I used fire to roast the meat, Relog was surprised, but soon joined me eating the roast meat, he didn''t like it and continued eating raw.

External Mana Control Learned
Meditation Learned
Only after I was full and those tables appeared I came to myself, now that I ate those humans, there''s no coming back... I wanted to throw up,but I knew that I coudn''t do that. If I did, all those skills that I gained would be to waste. I never believed in god before, but I also never reincarnated before, or at least remembered one... well, anyway, I pray for their souls, except that fat guy, he must burn in hell forever after being tortured by any creature that there is! And if he is reincarned, that he be as a fucking cockroach so that I can smash it! -What you gonna do now? As I was planning of smashing a cockroach, Relog asked me a question, what I will do from now on? What should I do... yeah, have a idea, I will conquer this forest, this will be the first step toward being a king! -Relog, you said you owe me your life right? -Right. -So from now on, this territory is mine, you now work to me, I will conquer all this forest! -What are you talking about! My territory!? I Relog, The Brown am the strongest bear in this forest and you dare to make me your minion!? -So that is the extent of your honor Relog? You said said that you owe me your life, so from now one, it belongs to me! -Uuuuurh... From his looks he didn''t like the idea, but didn''t refute what I said, at least he goes by his word. But I can''t have a subordinate that won''t submit. -If you didn''t like that idea, what about a fight? The one who win will be the one that will be the boss? what about that? I saw a light of excitement in his eyes as I said that, with a big grin he ansewered: -Yes! After saying that he began to run toward me, a big wall of flesh and muscles was coming closer at each second, he tried to hit me with his front paw. As fast as I could, I jumped to the side to evade his attack. His strenght was bigger than I though, there was a huge bear pawn were he hit in the ground, I don''t know if I would be able to take one of those head on. He charged at me again this time, I used water magic to throw water at him and at the ground, after adquiring external mana control, it seems that I can make more complex movements. After that I jumped in the air, and with my wings I flew were he couldn''t reach. Then I charged and threw lightining magic in him. It was super effective! He became paralized by my attack, after that I changed my form. He looked at me with surprise, but didn''t have much time to think about it. I dived towards his face and gave him th strongest puch I could! I swear that I heard bones breaking, what the hell is his head made of?! The bones on one of my right hands were shattered! He wasn''t better either, he gone straight to the floor, but it wasn''t over, he tried to slash at me with his claws, but I jumped back, his claws were strong even when he was half councious. With haste, I used healing magic in my hand and flew again. I used lightning magic again before he could stand and flew at him again, this time aiming at the ribs, broke almos all of them, not to the extent that it could pierce his lung, but enough to debilitate him. -STOP CHEATING AND FIGHT FAIR! -I''m not cheating, but if you want, so be it! I stood a few meters in front of him, we glared at each other, ready to charge at any second. Then he came, straight at me, ready to headbutt me, I used a big part of my mana in my new body strightening technique and used my hands to hold his front pawns, neck and head. I don''t know if it will be sucessfull, but I will try anyway, using all my strenght in my legs, I began to push him, we were shoulder to shoulder, no one was moving, but I knew that soon I would be overhelmed soon in a battle of strenght, so I jumped at his back and used a hadaka jime(rear naked choke) at his neck, it was a move that I knew very well from the years of martial arts that I did, I used two of my arms in to hold his neck, and the other four to hold his arms, with my legs, I pressed his ribs, so that he couldn''t build up strenght to fight back. He couldn''t get of it, so he stood in his two legs and tried to free his arms, when he stood I saw how huge he was, if standing at four legs he was at 5m tall, in two he is at 8. Trully a giant. When he saw he couldn''t hold for much anymore, he fell in his back, trying to smash me in the ground. I could hear my ribs and wings breaking at the impact, his wheight is no joke. But I won''t give in, mustering the rest of my strenght I holded him while he fainted. Trowing his huge body off me, I stood up, my bones shaterred, but I won! I didn''t kill him, I will need him after all. But then the idea came to me, I used a healing magic to heal my bones, they suffered enough, poor wings of mine . ;-; I picked up the leg armor of one of the bodyguards and put in me, I can''t continue with my dicks being in contact with this cold snow. And picked up a few weapons, four swords and a spear will be my weapons in the next fight. I also picked a knife in the body of the fat guy, it looked sharp. He also had a pouch of good coins, a few expensive looking rings and an emblem, like those that nobility used, a house crest. It had a crow holding a bag of coins in it. If he''s from nobility, there will be more coming to slay the beast that killed one of them, I will have to prepare myself. I reached near Relog''s body, then I cut a chunk of meat from his arm, I don''t know what will I gain if I eat it, but it''s worth a try.
Strenght of The Giants Learned
High Speed Regeneration Learned
The smell was a bit strange, but the meat, it was delicious, I take back my word about humans being the most delicious dish I ever ate, it''s bear! I wonder if I will get more of it later. Then I used healing magic in Relog and dragged him to the cave. Who knows if there is anithing dangerous out there? After that I used water magic to wash away the corpses in the cave and collapsed of exaustion, it was a geat day. ----//------//------ Chapter 5 : day 12 Chapter 5 Day: 12 I woke up today and looked around, Relog wasn''t here. Standing up was hard, the fight yesterday took a toll at my body. Yet, I feel stronger. This level up thing is strange... well, I won''t look at it untill I evolve again! I made up my mind! Theese status thing make numbers to represent your power, I don''t believe in it. It doesn''t matter how high this or that are if you don''t know what to do in an actual fight. Going outside of the cave I saw Relog. He was standing beside a dear, or better saying, the body of one, it was already dead. I wonder why he didn''t eat it. And also, if he was the leader of this territory, where were his subordinates yesterday? -Master! I brough food!(Relog) -Thank you, Relog.(Iki) Well, at least he abide by his word, It is a 180 degrees change from his atitude yesterday. -Relog, let me ask you a few questions.(Iki) -What is it master?(Relog) -If this territory was yours, where are your subordinates?(Iki) -I won''t admit anyone who is weak at my side!(Relog said with a proud voice) While it did make sense, it didn''t seem like a intteligent answer. If he had subordinates, with his strenght and with a good number or minions,he could have easily defeated those humans. -Okay... And where did those humans come from? Why they were attacking you yesterday?(Iki) -Humans? What are human? You mean the two legged that look like you?(Relog with a dumb look in his face) -Yeah, the two legged are called humans, why did they attack you?(Iki) Relog is a strong guy, but he seems to have muscle for brains. At least he knows how thing work in here. -I don''t know. They come in the forest sometimes. Never alone. They are destroing it, cutting the trees and killing the prey, it''s the first time they came so deep in it.(Relog) I see, so it''s the classical way humans try to get resources. At least they seem to be primitive. If they had the same technology I had in my world this forest would have been turned to ashes. Just so that they could plant and get fatter in their cosy homes, not caring about anithing that happens to others, only to their own noses. Wait... It gave me one idea! Why didn''t I think of that before!? A way to unite everyone under me, with a excuse to fight a strong enemy! I will convince the creatures here that humans are the villains! It''s genial! -Relog, we are going out, today. We are going to find new subordinates to me. Is there anyone who can speak in this area beside us?(Iki) -Yes! There is one that I know! It''s the old owl!(Relog) -Okay, take me there after we eat.(Iki) -Yes master!(Relog) He looked overly happy, even though he lost a fight and his territory yesterday. I wonder why. It isn''t negative to me, but there must be something more to it than what I know. For now, let it be. I ate, and gained only one skill, herbivororous language. I drew the human corpses near each other and used water magic to freeze them. No one will try to break it, I think. Relog took me to see the owl. The forest was a calm place, it was refreshing. Every now and then I could feel the others forest creatures looking at us, but soon hiding as fast as possible, it seems they don''t like Relog. But still, they observed us, maybe curious about me, a two legged walking beside the boss around here. -We are here. Old owl! It''s me, Relog! Master want to see you!(Relog) After a while we stopped in front of a huge tree, the ones in the forest were big, but this one overshadow them. As Relog called, a huge white owl flew to a branch in the lower part of the tree. It was two meters high. With it''s big yellow eyes, it looked like it could see even deep inside your soul. -How many times did I say to don''t call me old owl? I''m only 10 winters old!I have a name too, you know?! It''s Limma! And is that the one you called master? So you finnaly found someone stronger than you, huh? You, the demi-human, what is your name?(Limma) Strange, the owl is speaking in canine language, and what about Relog finding someone stronger than him to be his master? Well, it would make sense if you think about how he acted before. -My name is Iki, miss Limma, let me ask you a question, why only a few animals are able to speak?(Iki) -Ooh, a polite one huh? I expected some airhead with a tick skull to win agaist Relog you know? It''s not that only a few animals can speak, it''s just that only the ones that have intelligence above 50 are able to speak, and that guy over there isn''t that sociable, usually he just fight and eat, he only know me because I saved his life once.(Limma) -It makes sense, I guess. Let me tell you something, I''m not a demi-human, I''m a lizard king. What do you think about the humans?(Iki) -Humans? They are a strange bunch, they are intteligent, but I don''t like them, they kill us for sport and for those shiny coins, not for food, this tipe of thing isn''t something acceptable! They also destroy our homes, to construct theirs! If at least we could fight them off...(Limma) -I wan''t to propose you something, I will become the king of this forest, and even more in the future, to do that, I will need subordinates to follow me. I want you to become my subordinate Limma, and to spread the word that a new king of the forest is here, for all the ones who wan''t to join us to come near Relog''s cave in two days. Can you do that? Oh, also say that I won against Relog and he became my subordinate.(Iki) - Wh,Wha,What!? Become the king? you will have to unify the forest to do that you know?! And do you think that the humans are weak? if you did that you would have to attack them! And they would send more and more of them after us! -I know that, but I''m sure I can win agains the others in the forest, if Relog was one of the strongest in here, I''m sure that I can take on the Grey Wolf and the Black Boar if they don''t submit. But I want to know, will you follow me?(Iki) After what seemed like 10 minutes of a starkng match,she spoke to me. -Yes. I will help you, but will only swear my loyalty after you conquer the forest!(Limma) -That is ok to me,for now, just do what I said, and don''t forget of telling them to spread the word,I will be in lizard form tommorow.(Iki) -Yes, this one shall begin to do that now! As she said that she flew in the sky. I am anxious about tommorow. -Show me what is my new territory Relog(Iki) -Yes master!(Relog) After that we passed the rest of the day exploring, I didn''t try to hunt as there could be one of my future subjects that would become my prey, and also, there was a plenty of human meat I had sttocked yesterday, at least nothing will try to eat it. I don''t think they would try to break the gigantic block of ice full of fresh corpses. Soon we passed near a waterfall, I wanted to see my new face. I lied when I said I became the most handsome men in the world, actually, I didn''t had the option to change my face. I looked like an jap, I wonder why my face still remained some similar features. I''t had a triangular format, a medium size nose, and a wide mouth with white theet, a few of them looked like fangs though. I had also cherry lips, not a very masculine trait, but it didn''t seem to be out of place. Only in my cheeks were scales, they looked like tatoos. For my surprise, only the tatoos and slit eyed puppils were different than my looks form my last life. I also took a bath in the water, it wasn''t cold as it seemed, my new body is strange, it dosn''t feel cold even when everithing around me is covered in snow, and I''m not using anithing beside pants! After that, I returned to the cave,heated 3 bodies for me and Relog, we ate them. I took my pants off and changed my form. I was curious about my skills, I already had opened a stats table, but why not a skills one? There could be usefull information in there! -Skills.

King''s Mark9100%
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Wow! That''s too much! I though that I had some, but I never stopped to count how many skills I had. And also, some of them are able to do things I never though they would be able to do! This King''s Mark will be usefull tomorrow, with this I won''t have to be carefull when hunting. For now let''s sleep... Oh! Wait a minute! I will try to meditate! It said I can use it to replace sleep and get stronger at the same time! I went to the corner of the cave and tried to concentrate, I began to feel a energy passing through my body. It is strange, but it''s a confortable feeling,I found something strange, as the energy circulated in my body like blood, there''s a strange part in my head, it was as the biggest part of the energy acumulated there! That must be a mana pool, just like they say in games, animes and light novels! Strange, they always say it''s in the chest, why mine is in my head? Well, for me it makes sense that it''s located in the head, after all, the mana must be proportional to the intelligence, right? After a while I felt something strange tickling my scales, so I opened my eyes, I almost screamed when I oppened them, everywhere around me I could see a strange flow in the air, just like water currents! But they are strange, it dosn''t feel like water, it feels like... mana. I see, it must be the mana flowing in the cave. They flow everywhere, so what if I try to bring it in my body? It''s worth a try. I felt a strong pain in my body,it feels like it''s on fire! But I still felt like I should continue doing it. I tried channeling it to my mana core, and for my surprise, it''s sucessfull! After some time, I could feel my mana core expanding, even if it''s 0,01% it''s still a progress! Why not try to channel it to my mana core and to my muscles at the same time? Sure, they won''t develop as fast as they could, but still, I don''t want to know only magic or only know fighting. If I can, I will try to be somewhat balanced, it open the doors for more possibilities. So just like that I spent my 12th night in this world. ---//---//--- Sorry for the late update guys! I have so many exams right now ;-; ... tsc tsc. Tried to finish this one before sunday, hope you like it! Also, don''t forget to comment! Thanks!
