I haven't really left this alleyway I would go explore the city if i was stronger. Well it doesn't matter i'll go hunting for rats i'll just take some leftover rat at put it as bait. I think I'll take a cat nap right now while i was for sundown.
Squeak* Squeak*
Woah~ That rat's bigger than me it almost couldn't fit out of the sewer drain. I'm no match for that thing but if i just let him eat the other rat we'll have to eat from the garbage!.
Mew*Mew*
That sounds like a kitten calling for it's mother I'm sure this is mother territory. Oh he got distracted! yes go that way and leave me my meal!. No don't drag the rat with you!. I'll just pounce at him when he's about to strike his target his guard will be down.
As the rat made its way to the little kitten's cries, the rat was clearly no amature his steps went silent and his breath was slowed. As he reached his destination, there was a kitten about my size it had dark brown fur with a little light brown streaks of hair covering its body. This kitten looked starved I could see it's ribcage, the animals rule book stats survival of the fittest.
When the rat saw the kitten it increased its speed just about when it was 5 inches away from the cat I pounced from its back. I did my usual attack duggin my claws and started biting. This rat was different, those two I killed yesterday must of been young my ri-chomp(rip-chomp) attack wasn't doing even slowing it down. It didn't make a sound and started to roll around trying to knock me off. My nails were slipping I fell right in front of it, I only lost my balance for a second and it's already coming in for the attack. There's no other choice but to attack head on. We both pounced at each other he got me on the shoulder and I got him on the throat. We stood there as if we were hugging each other i kept biting with all my might my teeth slowly sinking into its rough skin.
The rat fell I looked back at the crying kitten and started to drag the big rat home while limping. I left yesterday's rat behind for it to eat. It was really tough making it back home with this big rat and my injury. My mother came soon after seeing me and helped me drag the rats dead body. As we were eating we could hear a dragging sound, I peeked out from behind the crates to find the weak kitten dragging yesterday's rat here. After reaching us my mother just glanced at the little kitten paying no mind as if there was no threat. I didn't know what to do but mother let just let the kitten stay with us. Oh yeah before i forget lets check my status.

That's good i should be faster and stronger now. What should I do with this little kitten, I could use him/her to help pull the dead bodies and help me hunt. That's a good idea but it'll take some time for him/her to recover first i'll have to give it a name since i don't know its gender i'll give it a unisex....Alexis.
----------------------------------------
Two weeks have passed Alexis and I have been avoiding big rats and hunting little ones by baiting them. I am 5 weeks old I'm assuming Alexis is the same age since she is about my size. Yes turns out Alexis is a she I saw she didn't have ball sack. Alexis got stronger and more efficient at hunting right now i'm confident we can take a big rat down easily together. Also for some reason Alexis keeps following me everywhere. Also My status has Increased.

Im guessing small rat's are not enough anymore. Alexis and I have gone around the city but haven't found any other things to kill i was thinking of leaving the city and going into the woods but we wouldn't stand a chance. If we were put in a fight with a normal human we would be dead since humans are so big compared to us. I am half the size of my mother now which is about 10 inches. I still don't know what mana is and ki dosen't exist in this world i tried meditating multiple times nothing would happen. But I do hear Mana stone and Mana beast a lot in the market place. So if i connected the dots they must have the same beasts in this world.
If i could train my body I would but food is scarce I don't want to waste extra energy. What should we do? If I think back to the day's when I was human I went into the woods and hunted for food. Ah! We should enter the sewers, But how will mother survive she'll go back to eating garbage. Also the sewers are dark it's true we can rely on our hearing, whiskers and sense of smell but that won't be enough the rats will have the advantage in numbers.
Although this is a big risk but it might be worth it. There's is only one option its to leave the city. But i won't be able to drag mother out with me she's too dependent on the city. Ive decided im leaving the nest. But first i'll have to teach mother how to catch rats.
3 Weeks have passed i am now 8 weeks old I am the same size as my mother. I have taught her how to cat rats and I think she'll be able to survive when I leave. I'll come back and visit when I can with that said Alexis and I head out of the city at top speed.
----------------------------------------
After exiting the city we found ourselves in the middle of a grass lands. I could see what seemed to be a forest so we headed there. I took a whole day to arrive to arrive at the woods, I'm surprised Alexis is still following me I thought she would stop at the city gates. After the sun had gone down we both climbed up a tree and took a nap.
After waking up, the first order of business was securing food we hadn't eaten since yesterday. Alexis and I walk around the forest I started to follow the tracks of what seemed to be a lone wolf. From its paw print I would say it was an adult but the thing about wolf is they are useless on their own. We kept tracking it until we ended up at a small river. A Lone wolf the size of about 37 inches was having a drink. This was our chance to attack.
Even if this was a lone wolf it could kill us with one bite. So i devised a plan. Alexis and I charged at the Wolf, Alexis was the first to attack with a ri-chomp on the wolf's back. The wolf turned his head only to see a claw to his face causing one eye to go blind. The Wolf whimpered before trying to bite me. I kept hiding in his blind spot, the wolf was overwhelmed when every time he focused on getting Alexis off he would get attacked by me. The battle dragged on when I finally got the chance it bit his throat ending it quickly. We suffered no injuries this was a complete win and if we staid here near the river beasts will come to drink and we can have the advantage of the surprise attack. Lets check status this fight got me really exhausted so i should have leveled up.
