I was scared, hunters are quite ruthless, and they will just kill anything on the spot. I have to escape from here, they will be here because of the smell, I can't let them see me in this condition, no monkey would be cooking roasted chicken in a jungle.
I parted ways with my roasted chicken without even looking back.
"FUCK YOU!!!! YOU PEOPLE WILL NOT HAVE CHICKEN REST OF YOUR LIVES"
Curses were coming into my mind like a tornado, fuck, this was my first chicken while coming to this world but these hunters have to appear now, can't they come after some time, I would have my stomach full.
"ASSHOLES" "A CHICKEN WILL EAT YOU!!!!!!"
I ran and jump to get far away from that place. Fuck!! I didn't even know how to use my power. I would be killed because of it.
There would be a day when I will hunt these hunters, Fuck, I don't have Power now otherwise how they would let the awesome me run without eating my chicken.
I don't know how much time has passed but I think this would be enough to get rid of them. I have to learn to use my power; I can't run all the time.
"Eve, How should I use Blink?"
"Host has to think of teleporting with target place in his mind"
Ohh? Just like that, well it's quite easy. I just thought of Teleporting but nothing happened
????
"Host has to select a specific place as a target to teleport"
I selected the spot 5 meters away, darkness enveloped me but I was back in a targeted place in the blink of an eye but my body started aching badly, it felt like someone poking me with needles all over my body.
First time in my life I am suffering from this type of pain, I didn't know, using that power will have this kind of side effect.
"Eve? What is happening to me?" I started shouting anxiously
"Host body is not used for sudden teleportation, Host is suggested to select the nearby target spot, the farther the target there will be more pressure on the body."
I was dumbfounded, can't she tell me this before, it felt like an eternity to me, and eventually the pain subsided. I swear, will not use power until I know what its effects will be.
I started practicing Blink, the pressure on my body kept reducing to a point it felt nothing. I was feeling very ecstatic, for the first time in my life, I felt something different.
You have to say, I was like the frog in a well, there is such a world around me but I didn't even know that.
A whole week went by in a blink of an eye. In this period, I didn't even miss my Body Building and Fighting practice. I even assigned my 3 free stat points to strength, now I am a lot different than I was a week before. I even hunted a few rats and lizards. And I finally have the roasted chicken, that day I cried for the whole night, not because of the hardships, but because of the happiness.
Now it's time for the hunt of the bigger Animals, Last time I crossed across a swamp, there was an alligator there, then I was powerless, but after all this time, it felt like my control over the strength has improved dramatically, as if that strength was in a dormant state, but doing those exercise daily have awakened the power in me, apart from that, I am specialized in using Blink now.

Now it's the time to Hunt.
When I came near the swamp, I saw that alligator, last when I passed from this area, only its presence was felt, but now after seeing an almost 5 meters big alligator resting near the swamp, I know the seriousness of this fight, I thought of withdrawing from here as I felt there is no use of risking my life, but suddenly I got the task notification.
"Task: Kill the mutated alligator and eat its meat." "Difficulty: Level A"
Rewards: EC: 300 and 4 Stat points"
Shit!!!
But this task gave me the motivation to kill this alligator; at least I can buy something new from the store.
I always kept the ax which I used last time to kill that snake. Its sharpness is something. It can cut anything like butter.
I went to the side and slowly moved towards the alligator, just when I was in a range of 5 meters, I blinked and appeared just behind the back of an alligator, I swung the ax towards the neck of it, but when it struck the skin it felt like it has struck the rock, there was only a dent on it.
"Fuck!!!", That alligator suddenly swung its tail to hit me, I felt a great danger coming towards me, I blinked again and appeared on my previous spot. That alligator started running towards me; surely it was a sight to behold. A 5 feet monkey with an ax is fighting with the 5-meter alligator.
I started to use blink to move all over the place to confuse that alligator, and again appeared on the back of it and swung my ax to hit the same spot as last time.
Surely, it felt like it penetrated the skin, but not that much; again I blinked towards my last place. This alligator is agitated. It started producing some sound.
I suddenly felt dizzy; it has surely used some sound attack on me. But this time I was not much affected by the attack from that snake. I blinked again towards the back of the alligator to hit the same spot as if it predicted my movement; it strangely moved its head to bit me. The moment I appeared, I felt the life-ending crisis, when that mouth was moving towards me, but suddenly I saw its neck has been exposed and it's not affected by skin hardening, taking the advantage of the opportunity I appeared below its mouth and stuck the ax towards its neck and again disappeared from that spot.
All this action happened just in a second, next thing I saw was that Blood was sprouting like a fountain from its neck and that alligator was twitching all over the place.
But I didn't feel any excitement towards this accomplishment, only empathy towards the alligator. Even though I wanted to show my awesomeness but this is not the way. But to survive and move forward, I have to do it.
My view towards life has changed this very moment; Everyone is living for survival, if I have to move forward, I have to pass through every obstacle. This is the first time in my life I felt like this.
"I am Sorry Buddy but I had to do this" I only prayed for the alligator for its next life. I will be fighting with a lot of these creatures; I can't be softhearted for killing them. It's either you die or me.
After twitching for few more times, its movement halted. I went near the alligator slowly, to confirm whether it's dead or not. After confirming that it is dead, I skinned the alligator and separated the meat from its skin. After doing all the work, I took a bite of the meat.
Suddenly I felt a warm feeling inside me; I know I got some to its power. I got the notification in my mind.
"Congratulations host for completing the Task. The host has gained below mentioned Traits.
+4 Increase in Strength Stat
Power: Skin Hardening"
Phew... After that fight, I was seriously drained, at least got some additional Strength Stat. For this skin hardening, I know what its function. It will surely help me in the future.
For the stat points agility would be fine, at least I should be able to run away from the spot If I find any danger.
I allocated 4 points to agility. I can feel something moving inside of my body.
After storing the alligator skin and meat, I ran away from that place, more predators will appear after smelling the blood. I found a place on top of a tree and closed my eyes.
I thought about the future, about the beauties and everything I will do. First I have to move from this place. I already felt some changes in my body, I know something has changed.
"Eve?"
"Yes Host"
"When I will be able to speak normally"
"Host has to go through 1st Evolution; Host will experience changes in his body after going through the evolution"
"Eve?"
"Yes Host"
"When will I go through 1st evolution?"
"All stat except luck should reach the stat of 25"
I was astounded, apart from intelligence my strength and agility are almost 20, I can reach the 1st evolution.
"What will happen after 1st Evolution?"
"Host's Body will adopt Human form but with your animal traits."
Oh Yes...I felt relief upon hearing that, at least I can get rid of this Monkey form. I can't wait to move from this place.
