Reagan and toby had bonded over the past day, Reagan did something, Toby did something, overall it was a very good experience. What Reagan was not happy about, however, was the Japanese spider crab. This type of crab, while looking terrifying, is actually not suited for combat in the slightest, and while it had far reach, unless it got big enough to the point that it's strength was almost that of Toby's, it would be useless.
Reagan was not happy because of this unwanted third wheel in Reagan and Toby's friendship. whenever they were using teamwork to defeat something the Spider crab just sat there attempting to do something, while never actually accomplishing anything. Reagan just didn't like him.
While Reagan was lost in his thoughts a Great White shark came out. While Reagan had a decent size, the shark was still much bigger than him, however, Reagan had discovered a strategy very similar to the ones he used on the BBs in his hatchery. He would get on the back and use his legs to pierce the shark's gills and then continue to punch him. Reagan had realized quite a few things in the past days, such as the fact that you didn't need to apply a mortal wound or do anything that should kill a creature, such as chopping their head off, to kill them. Reagan did not really understand why, but the physical force of an attack would directly harm the other's Health Points, and after that number reached 0 they would simply die.
Reagan's attack proved to be successful as the cocky great white shark had not been afraid of Reagan. It approached and was dealt with quickly. It turned out that this shark had quite a decent amount of experience, causing Reagan to level up two times. He received a notification for something other than his level up though.
Level 10 reached, Calamity of Nature has reached level 1, commencing Heightened Growth.
Reagan burst into pain, although he was confused about the notification, he needed to burrow to stay safe. After that Reagan fell asleep while he grew.
----------------------------------------
The Birgus Latro looked around after the king had burrowed to grow. The king commonly did this, and this action had proven to keep the Birgus Latro safe under multiple situations. The King was able to move and burrow even when he was in the pain of growing, which confused the Birgus Latro, Whenever he was suffering from growing he could barely move a muscle.

The creature looked around, seeing the other crab that had joined the feud, although it did not seem like the king had liked it very much. While he made sure that the Birgus Latro was alright after every battle, it seemed the king could care less about it. As the Birgus Latro did not have enough intelligence to keep his mind on a straight path, he began to wander around while he awaited the King's return. It was at this time that something had shined in his eye, enough that he looked away immediately, but he quickly looked over to find the source, realizing that it might be a predator. He saw that the source was some kind of rock, but it was yellow and glittered brightly. The Birgus Latro quickly found himself infatuated with this small rock, he could not take his eyes away from it. He quickly stuck it to his back, making sure it would not fall off. whatever this small rock was, he wanted more, he was quickly becoming obsessed.
----------------------------------------
When Reagan woke up He felt awkward, like something wasn't right. He quickly unburrowed finding himself much bigger then he had been, If his guess was right, he was about double his previous size, Toby barely came up to about half of his leg now. Reagan checked his status,
Reagan Lvl 10
HP: 250
attributes: Passives: Titles: ( Small titles have now been hidden for convenience) Strength: 84 Calamity of Nature The Truth in Their Name Dexterity: 48 Ambush Calamity I Toughness: 63 Patience (lvl3) Intelligence: 45 Wisdom 15
Reagan inspected his new title.
Calamity I: the user has reached level 10 with the Clamaity of Nature passive. Growth increased 5 levels. levels until the next level of this title: (10/20)
It seemed that every couple of levels Reagan would grow more then if he had just leveled up. If he was correct then the bonus would increase every time he unlocked another one. Causing Reagan to get very excited to start hunting.
When he looked over at Toby, it seemed that Toby had obtained a small gold coin and placed it on his back. He didn't mind though, after all, Toby was his best friend.
