[Stealth has reached level 3]
Hmm? Nice! Skill level up!
But how did it levelled up? I didn't even hide...I get it. What I am doing in this hole is hiding! Does that actually count? This is such a huge opportunity to farm my skill level for my stealth. I should try and see what other skills I can level up in this way.
I'll think about that later, I need to hunt today. It's not every day I'll get free food from the Orcs. But engaging in combat means instant death for me based on the monster I have met till now.
I'm sure there are other weaker monsters in this place, Right!!?? If not I am totally screwed.
I also need a safer place as my shelter, the hole I am staying in now may be safe for now but if I am found it's more like a death trap cause I have no way out.
I'm so hungry...
Hiding in my shelter there's only one thing on my mind.
FOOD!!
I'm starting to remember all the delicious foods I have eaten in my previous life, meat, cakes, noodles and even vegetables!!! Yes, I am so hungry right now that vegetables even seem to be a delicacy!! (I hate veggies)
4 days... I have been thinking of a way to get food for 4 days straight. I somehow thought if dying would be better than being stuck in this hell hole. I can't think straight anymore and the hunger is making it worse.
Above that, my status...
[Species: Newborn Imp]
HP: 29/50
DEF: 15
ATK:4 (Weakened)
[Skills: Scavenging*, Iron claw*, Sprint*, Play dead**, Stealth***]
My HP decreases every few hours, and if I am not wrong once the HP hits 0 I'll be dead.
So finding food is necessary not just to quench my hunger but to survive.
I swore even the vegetables that I hated in my past life sounds delicious as hell. But I have already found a prey. In the past 4 days, I have seen one monster that was not a Warg or an Orc.
And it's in my sight.
[Zameleon: A lizard-type monster with little to none of Sky dragon blood. Has camouflaging abilities. Found in the upper levels of the Great Earth Dungeon. Weakness: Head]
If you're wondering how I am able to get its info then it's because of a skill I unlocked by chance.
[Analyze: Shows info of the targeted]
I got this skill when I was messing with my status screen 2 days ago. And I found out that the higher the level it is, the more info it will show. And from the info I got, I am actually in some dungeon which to me is both good and bad news. Good news because I have dreamt of something like this happening to me because of all the animes and mangas I read. Bad news because it means I am also a type of monster and there are probably humans in this world too. And they might come hunting any time. Plus a dungeon is DANGEROUS. But let's keep all that aside for now and focus on something more important. FOOD!!
My prey has a certain set of movements, every 2 days it comes down from the ceiling to the floor and that day is today.
Just a few more hours and it'll be within my reach.
I haven't killed anything large or big enough for me to feel bad about it in my past life. So I don't know whether I'll hesitate when the time comes to kill this at least a meter long creature.
But my stomach does not take no for an answer! So I can't hesitate here because my life depends on it.
The creature slowly crawls down the wall of the dungeon in search of food but it does not know that it is about to become the 'food'.
Finally, the creature is just in front of my shelter where I am staying in stealth. A few meters away from me. Don't worry stomach I won't let you down.
In a flash, I use sprint and dashed out from my shelter closing in the distance in a few secs and land a strike using my iron claws exactly on its head.
[-7]
[Zameleon: HP 38/45]
It does not die immediately just as I guessed so I use my hands and legs to lock down the beast on the ground. It resisted as the creature tries to swing me off from its body. But it is too late now I have my claws dug deep enough on its skin. With that, I slashed with my claws a few more times.
[You have killed Lvl 4 Zameleon]
[Level up]
[Level up]

[You have received 4 skill points]
[Iron claw has reached level 2]
[Sprint has reached level 2]
Now I know that I gain experience to improve my level when I kill other creatures or monsters. This also means that other monsters get experience in the same way I do. That gives the reason why the Orc didn't eat its prey but only killed it. It must be hunting for the experience.
I have to think about this later now I have a more serious matter to deal with. I cannot leave my prey here for too long because the scent will surely attract other monsters. I drag my prey over to my shelter since I can't lift it as it is about the same size or actually bigger than me.
HUUUUUh... finally I can relax without worrying about food.
No more wasting time I ignore the state of my prey as I bite into its flesh.
This taste, how do I describe it??
It is disgusting and bloody. Obviously, because I am eating it raw but I am sure it could taste better when cooked.
[You have consumed the flesh of Zameleon]
[You have received 70 Essence]
I didn't even use scavenge ?? How did I get the essence??
[Target for scavenging found]
[Do you wish to scavenge]
YES!
I get it now. I receive essence for eating it but I don't get every essence the creature has and this is where the skill Scavenge comes to use.
Nice I don't lose anything at all then. This means I can become stronger faster unless everyone creature here has the skill.
I have eaten till my stomach is satisfied but I can't stay in this shelter for too long. The blood from my prey is everywhere around my shelter and this will surely attract other monsters here.
I need to find a safer place before night arrives.
By the way, the walls here light up making the dungeon seems as if it's daytime and it goes back to its original state making the dungeon dark as if it's nighttime.
Before that, I'll check my status
[Species: Newborn Imp]
HP:70
DEF: 23
ATK:13
[Skills: Scavenging*; Iron claw**; Sprint**; Play dead**, Stealth***]
[Upgrades: Body 2/3, Claw 0/3]
Skill points: 5
Stat points: 1
Essence: 100
Hmm? How did I have 100 Essences, isn't it supposed to be 70?
[Scavenging completed +30 Essence]
Well, that explains why. Now time to move. But I need to prepare a plan first. I can't just move around randomly on this battlefield. I guess it's time to use up all I have.
Despite all the difficulties I have managed to survive in this new world. And I will continue to do so while becoming stronger!!
Checking on what I have saved up during my time here...Skill points: 4Stat points: 1Essence: 100I think I cannot hold off on saving these points up since I need to get stronger to explore and search for a new shelter.Let's check out how the skill points work.[Do you wish to buy new skills?]What! I thought it was for levelling up skills!? But it is for buying skills instead?? I could have survived way easier if I had checked this out earlier. No use regretting now.YES![Available skills]-EVASION: Dodge any attack one time. MP cost: 20 Skill point :3-BLACKOUT: Release a thick and dense gas covering 2m in radius from the source blocking the sight of all inside the gas. MP cost: 15 Skill point: 2-STEEL BODY: Passive skill which reduces damage taken by 10% Skill point:6-PIERCE: Enhances the next attack with a piercing effect that will ignore 20% of armour.

I haven't thought about it seriously before because I was occupied with more important stuff but are Epic rank monsters that common? Aren't they supposed to be near impossible to find, more like whoever finds them doesn't live to tell the tale but I am now doubting whether Epic rank is that high of a rank at all? In just one day, I came across two Epic rank monsters even though they were newborns they were still Real Epic rank monsters. Epic rank or not, it doesn't change the fact that I am going to kill that baby dragon today. No pain no gain as people use to say in my world or do I say my previous world? Although I am worried there will be more pain than gain or quite possibly pain only, I was a person who lived for overpowered skills, I cannot live without having anything overpowered in my arsenal of skills or abilities. And one thing that could possibly give me something overpowered is killing an Epic rank monster, not just any monster but a Dragon. Maybe a title like the Dragon
[Upgrading to Armoured skin]Ughhhh!! I feel that I will have more chances of dying whenever I upgrade myself rather than from monsters!!When will it not hurt every time I get an upgrade…. They have said in the past that great risk brings great reward and of course that is true. But I don't know whether it is worth it at all. I hoped to minimise as much risk as possible, circumstances have forced me into being aggressive and thankfully it has paid off![Condition for evolution not met]Hmm? What? What am I missing here? Is that not the last upgrade I can take… let me check my status.[status]Species: Newborn Imp(4/5)Exp:44/50HP:70 CON: 5 (1 CON= 10HP)DEF:23 DEX: 3 (1DEX= 5 DEF)A
The moment the shell hit the floor, the baby dragon opened its eyes as it awakens from its slumber.I could feel the pressure it emitted as if a giant weight has pressed down on me, all I could do was to remain as still as possible. My senses were telling me to go and run away as fast as I can. Maybe me being a lesser demon affected me. I hesitated whether I should just give up and run away but I wanted to try at least once, u never know until u try right?However, it only looks at me once before it closed its eyes and resume what it was doing a moment ago. I instantly had one thought, maybe the dragon is in some process of evolution and cannot move? I could be totally wrong and fuck myself up but I believe that it is true.Before anything I want to see if analyze will show anything to me. that would be the safer and smarter thing to do.Analyze![Epic rank - Newborn Falak dragon][Offspring of the Epic Rank Falak Dragon.

"W-what's going on here?!"Someone shouted. Geometrical patterns, just like a magic circle you'd see in anime, formed on the floor of the classroom.Then, in the following instant, the space around them changed – turning into a large ground with a large circular plate with unknown symbols.An unknown number of people out of nowhere appeared on top of the circle as the archimages finished the ritual."Hurraaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"The people, citizens, everyone was on their knees as they shouted in unison. The otherworldly heroes were their hope. For every generation, they were told the stories of heroes, of how they slew the monsters of the dark, of how they protected the empire, of how they sacrificed their lives for the people. Instilled on each citizen was a deep sense of respect and honour for the so-called heroes. And today was such a day where they would get to see a glimpse of their heroes."..eh?'One moment they were si
It's been roughly 3 hrs since I started converting the high tier essence to normal essence.[5 secs remaining].........[Coversion complete][Gained 5000 essence]Niceuuuu!It is enough to get two skills at most. I didn't hope for much but I was hoping for it to be much higher than 5000. Since 1% is 5000 essence then all the essence available here is about 500000??? Damn what a huge waste!I have not realised it before but once I looked into the skills section again, I can't decide which skills to choose.One way is to take the Biokinesis which cost 4000 essences since I don't even need to injure the dragon's exterior and directly caused harm to its internal organs. But can it really do enough damage to kill it? most likely not.The other way is to take poison generation and amplify which cost 1000 and 1500 essence each. I can strengthen myself to penetrate the dragon's thick hide and apply

I was surprised. When I woke up, no I was actually really amazed that I even woke up.I thought I was dragon food all this time. But no need to think of it anymore. I don't know how I am alive but what matters is that I am still alive. But the other thing that took me by surprise is the body of the dragon in front of me, just a few metres away from me.I tried to get up but to no avail, even though I am alive my body is far from being fine. I cannot feel my right arm and my right leg at all. I am also sure I broke some of my rib bones. I still wonder how I am still alive in this state.I knew before I lost my consciousness that the system announced some notices to me. since I cannot do anything with the current state of my body I could check up on what I missed.[Level up][Level up][Level up][Level up][Level up]….Levelling up a total of 18 times in one go..even though the monster was Epic ranked, the level bo
