Chapter 2: Delicious Fish

2 Delicious Fish

| DAY 3 |

I woke up and immediately noticed that sleeping restores Stamina very slowly, my Stamina just before sleeping was 18/100 but after around 8 hours of sleep I restored a whooping 78 points! now I have 96 stamina points to spare.

"No no no.. I gotta manage my Stamina wisely, what if Im in a sticky situation like yesterday? I always need to have some spare stamina when I have to run away at max speed! Lets see uuuh.. STATUS!"

"Hmm! A little less trash but trash nonetheless! haha!... sigh. Also whats this Blessing of ####### bullshit? what does it do? is this like those novels were the main characters got a weird skill that the system cannot show yet because theyre too weak to use it? Or is it some kind of blessing of a mysterius being that doesnt belong to this world? Sigh.. so many questions but im so weak to find out yet. Allright time to go hunt! If I want answer I need to be strong! thats how is it here, I get it!"

After talking as if I were some kind of brave main character I started my journey outside of the old tree, I decided to go around the West River because it seemed like more peacefull place without so many birds around.

When I got near the river I saw the crystaline water flow wildly, there in the reflection I could finally watch how my face looked. It was a almost black face with two strong jaws and 4 eyes at the top of my head, I had little whiskers in my cheecks, If it wasnt for that ugly scar near my two left eyes I would look almost cute!

"Im such a adorable little caterpillar! how can I have minus one Charisma?! This is complete bullshit! I tell you!"

In the middle of my mental rambling I felt a horrible presence watchin me, when I looked down the river a big fish was looking at me with his ugly bubbly eyes! I quickly spent some stamina to get away of the river.

"Sigh that was so close! haaah... Im glad I saved my stamina.. But I really wish I could eat that fish! it looked so meaty! Ugghh.. fried fish, dry fish, even raw fish! I miss you so much-"

Just before I could finish my sentence the huge fish jumped out of the water and started walking with four little limbs!

"Wh-wh-whaat???!!! GUEEEEEEHH!! A fish that can walk! I should had expected this from a fantasy world! Im so careless! Im so careless!! Why these type of ambushes happen to me all the time?? is it because of my minus two Luck stat?! Damned mysterious voice!!"

With all my force I started using my stamina to run as fast as I could from the walking fish, luckily his limbs were very little and not very well adapted to walk for large amounts of time, after some time It slowed down and because we were so far away from the river it couldnt go back to the river in time and it started to choke right before me.

"What? are you kidding me? are you stupid or something? how could you not tell that you were so far away from river already? Wait, isnt this way too convenient for me to eat him up? I gotta take this oportunity!"

COMMON CATERPILLAR VERSUS WALKING FISH! START!

"Hehehe this isnt your lucky day Mister Fishy! now brace yourself because youre fighting the strongest caterpillar in the forest! Did you say your prays already? I hope so because here I go! Activate skill WEAK BITE! WEAK BITE! WEAK BITE! WEAK BITE!"

Chomp Chomp Chomp Gulp

"Uuuaaaahhh!!! So delicius!! Im so happy right now! Thank you so much for being so stupid Mister Fishy! Thanks for the meal!"

And then right there I started to eat the walking fish alive, it struggled like hell but because he was choking so much he could barely use any force.

"WEAK BITE! WEAK BITE! WEAK BITE! Chomp Chomp Gulp Hmmm! Im in heaven right now! hahaha!"

"GLUP GLUP GLUUPPPPP...!!!"

The fish struggled and after half an hour it give up and died of suffocation.

"Uoohohoho! Nice! Very nice! Mister Fishy! May the wicked god of this world bless you in heavens! buhahaha! Munch Munch"

After dragging the rest of the fish body with my thread over a hole in the old tree I slowly devoured it whole, not even the bones were spared.

"GUOOOHH!! Amazing! so many skills over a simple walking fish?! I guess it was so much meat compared to my little body so I got the skills anyways, yet I somehow ate it whole, it doesnt make sense at all! Is it because of my Belly related skills? this is broken! Arent I awesome? im already getting the hang of it! Haha! just watch Mysterius voice! STATUS!"

"Guahahaha! Im so busted now! watch out world! a new menace has arrived! Now that I am in my confortable bed lets see what these skills are about.. hmm activate DRY SKIN!"

Fuosh

Just after yelling the activation command my whole body become covered in a fish-like skin, it looked ugly and sticky, not even a minute has a passed and my skin started to dry out incredibly fast.

"Wa-wa-wait!! deactivate skill!"

Fuosh

"Is this even a skill? its horrible! I almost died! Maybe this was what caused that stupid walking fish to suffocate to death, sigh. I guess it will be useful when I go to swim but not now! Definetly! Now now.."

I tested the other skills near a hole with underground water, using 10 stamina I was able to create fish gills below my head. It was completely freaky! Its supossed to make me able to breath even easier below water and make my movements faster. Underwater breathing is self explanatory and Water Element Affinity seems to be related to magic because even when I tried to control the water around me nothing happened.

"Maybe theres a Water Control skill out there? Damn I wish I had it. The moment Im able to use long distance attacks I will become overpowered! Anyways, this day was a good harvest. Time to sleep!"

| DAY 4 |

After waking from around a 7-8 hours sleep I started practicing my thread manipulation with the spare Stamina that I acumulated eatin the walking fish, it seems like the more I use it the less stamina its required, as if the skills levels up on his own when overusing it, but everytime I check on my status screen or my skills nothing like this shows up.

"Hmm maybe I need to be of higher level to understand how skills works in this system? Sigh. I'll let that for another day I suposse, but I have become quite skillfull in all this thread mastery stuff if I say so myself!"

After spending 4 hours in the old tree I completely made a safer nest inside the hole and also fixed the ceiling that the bird had broken before adding pieces of wood and little rocks to fortify it.

"Haha thread manipulation is really one of the best skills in this world isnt it?"

After finishing my little project I decided to go hunt for food and probably to store some inside the nest, thanks to my level ups yesterday my speed stat increased by 2 points so I can move a little bit faster! ...Atleast faster than a slug without having to spend so much stamina.

Find authorized novels in Webnovel?faster updates, better experience?

Now that I realize that this is my fourth day in this damned world I started to wonder, whats the name of this world? Are there humans? How many countries they have? How many intelligent beings live here? Are there more continents?

But because this forest is so dense and dark I can barely see anything over the trees and I dont risk going to the top of one because a bird could easily catch me!

If I really want to learn the truth of this world I must become strong! Strong enough to not fear being eaten by birds eatleast!

"Now that I think about it could I use the same tactic from yersterday to catch walking fishes? Lure them in the river to get out and then make them walk so far they cant go back so they suffocate! Yeah that should work! I dont lose anything trying it out, now that im more confident on my thread skills I could easily run away with it if things gets too bad"

And just as I said it I went directly to the West River, there the crystaline water flowed widly down the forest.

"Hehehe lets try it out then.."

I aproached the River and started looking at the water for some minutes, and just as I predicted a huge green colored walking fish started to watch me while I slowly moved and played innocent.

BOOOM

Then just as I predicted the fish jumped out of the river and started to run at me as fast as he could!

"Here it is! now run!!"

I started running at a medium speed using my stamina efficiently, creating a feeling that the fish could catch at any time.

"Haha yes keep following me!, we have crossed atleast 10 trees now, I think 5 more and he should start to suffocate at any moment!"

But after the 13th tree the fish already started to suffocate and struggle in the ground unable to keep up. Then i jumped over his head and started activating WEAK BITE repeatedly!

"Take this! WEAK BITE! WEAK BITE! WEAK BITE! Chomp Chomp Chomp Gulp. Hmmm! this one is even more delicius that the one yesterday! Is it a variant form or something?"

"Gloup gloup glouppp...!!"

The fish struggle in pain but could not throw me from his head and after around 20 minutes it give up and died on the spot.

"BUAHAHA! It really worked! It really worked! Yes! See mysterius voice?! I can handle myself just fine! I never needed any cheat skill to begin with! hahaha!"

Just after the fish died I used my thread to completely wrap him into a mummy and dragged him to my nest.

"Hmm it all went perfectly, too perfectly... theres not even any monster around? Why is that? Should I be careless about these safe oportunities or should I be afraid?"

Just after I started to question my luck a big bird flew over me, took the wraped fish and went flying away, as if it was waiting his oportunity to strike!

"Wh-what?! Damned bird! it was so fast I couldnt do anything! My food!!! You bastard! How will I recover my Stamina now?.. Uh?"

I wasnt even able to cry over my prey being taken by a bird and a weird mass of little red points started moving to my direction in increasing speed.

"What the hell is that? wait, are those ants? Those are ants all stuck together, this is horrible! theyre going to catch me and eat me slowly! no wayyy!! Uuuaaaaaa!!!!"

As I imagined how much suffering it would be to be eaten alive by millions of ants I used all my stamina to run as fast as I could, but the Ant Ball (this is how I'll call it!) didnt give up on my juicy and fatty self!

"Where do I even go? if I go to my nest theyre going to destroy it and still eat me alive. Oh right! The River! I bet Ants cant swim in this world, theyre just ants after all! haha! time to swim for my life!"

I actived my skill FISH STRONG GILLS and DRY SKIN to swim easily in the river while my passive skill UNDERWATER BREATHING let me breath bellow water.

"Ahh they still jumped off the River? What are they doing? So they can swim after all ?! No.. wait.."

Just as I started to freak out the Ants started to drown without any struggle and the Ant Ball dissolved in the River.

"Are they stupid or something? Whats wrong with the monsters in this world? Are bird the only intelligent beings here? I'll take this oportunity to eat you all!"

The Ants struggled but to no avail they were devoured one by one, after more than a hundred ants, the rest was probably washed over the river strong currents.

| NEW SKILL LEARNED: ATTACK COMMAND | | NEW SKILL LEARNED: DEFENCE COMMAND |

"Haha I win this time Ants! I even got some pretty weird skills. It seems that bugs are usually very stupid, so Im a exception because Im a reincarnated soul so my mind is of a Intelligent being? How convenient, but I wonder how a little Caterpillar brain can contain such a strong human mind. Sigh.. another question that I need an answer of in the future"

After the Ant feast my Stamina recovered a fine amount. I got out of the river and walked slowly and stealthy over my nest.

"Haahh.. I didnt got any fish today.. That damned bird..! Sigh.. Im so tired, swiming really tired my whole chunky body.. Well lets see my status at the very least.. STATUS!"

"Hmm! so it increase one in each stat every time I level up? Except MP, Magic, Charisma and Luck, thats kinda lame.. But how could a stupid Caterpillar even have magical affinity? Also why do I

have a cap in my level? Will I never be able to level up over 10? Or is there something else?

Maybe.. evolution..? No way.. what can a pitiful caterpillas like me evolve into? Maybe some weak ass butterfly.. I wish I could become some humanoid being or a strong dragon! I wish I could see the evolution tree if theres one! I gotta level up more!"

I tested the Command skills but it seems they dont work unless I have several minions in my disposal, "I wonder if I could create something similar to those Ant Balls, I could easily travel the forest without wasting stamina then. It would be the best!"

"Anyways, time to sleep, I'll definetly catch a fish tomorrow, no, two fish tomorrow! Mark my words mysterius voice! now good night to me!"
