The Familia Head was Reborn as a Wolf in Another World

Chapter 9

[Predator]

[A title acquired by individuals that greedily hunt for prey and eat them en masse. Through this title, the individual would be able to acquire the skills Devour and Hunt]

[Devour]

[Convert any ingested food into pure energy. The converted energy could then be used to recover mana, health, and stamina]

[Hunt]

[Able to mark a target within the user's perception. As long as the mark remains, the user would be able to sense the location of the target. But the larger the distance between the user and the target is, the lower the accuracy of the skill would become]

So, yeah. Apparently, because of hunting and eating so much, I received a title and two new skills to go along with it. Although I really wanted to argue that I just did what was necessary to survive, the great skills that I received made me think twice. Seriously, they were both really convenient especially that Hunt. Being able to locate a target anywhere within the user's perception range was not only a huge advantage in the wild, but would also be a trump card against humans if used properly. And then there was that devour, which I could use to optimize and increase my hunting time.

Of course, it was not as if I could go and hunt without sleeping. And that was one of my discoveries upon trying it out. For some unknown reason, even if my body wasn't exhausted, I still needed to sleep for at least a few hours. Maybe it has something to do with being mentally drained. Well, my hunting time still increased despite that limitation. And because of that, I leveled up. Some of my skills including the new ones have also ranked up. And so, my current status was as follows.

[Name: (Unnamed)]

[Race: Dire Wolf Variant]

[Level: 17]

[Status: Healthy]

[Titles: Awakened One, The RunAway, Predator]

[Skills: Rabid Fangs (Rank B), Call of The Moon (Rank C), Night Vision (Rank A), Enhance Smell (Rank A), Enhance Hearing (Rank S), Recovery (Rank A), Detect Malice (Rank A), Scratching Claws (Rank D), Potential Boost (Rank D), Assess (Rank C), Presence of Mind (Rank D), Swiftness (Rank C), Haste (Rank C), Devour (Rank C), Hunt (Rank C)]

Well, there was one problem I have noticed. This was just my guess. But maybe, because of the effect of my Devour skill, my Recovery skill wasn't moving an inch. I also noticed that whenever I sleep, the usual notification that displayed the exact time of my rest wasn't popping up. Because of that, now I have no idea how much time I had spent in this place. And seriously, not knowing how many days have passed was scary.

So as usual, I just moved forward while hoping to find a way out of this place. There was one good news though. For quite some time now, I started to see the walls enclosing this place. And every time I resumed my stroll, I noticed that the space surrounding this wetland area was starting to become smaller and smaller. So, if my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, I'm sure that it won't be long and I would find an exit. Seriously though, this place was just like a huge cave.

Still, I needed to replenish my strength. And so, I am currently stalking a Giant Frog who I have marked using Hunt. The Giant Frog was alone and just like me, it was also searching for a prey to eat. Normally, these Giant Frog monsters would prey on some huge Bee-like monsters that were popping up from time to time on these parts. But if they couldn't find any Bees, they would ambush or fight a lizard to kill and eat it. Though there were times that I have seen some lizards turn the table on the frogs. Of course, I would then ambush whoever it was that won the fight thus killing two birds in one stone. What, that was nasty? Well, I needed to be at least that crafty in order to survive in such a harsh environment. After all, in this kind of environment, the only rule is to eat or to be eaten.
