"NGYEOOOWWW!!"
A growl of what seemed to be a cat rang throughout my location. Taking my attention away from the screen in front of me, I looked towards the origin of the sound.
It was a cub, a red tiger cub.
...
Okay, it was huge ass red tiger cub, you know, like those cubs you see on National Geographic yet so much larger, like twice the size of a normal tiger large.
"NGEEEEYEOOOWW!"
Yep it's a cub. It's cries are too high pitched to be a full grown tiger.
"Observe" I said silently
[BEEP]
Name: Rusukainan' Redback Tiger Cub
Level: 113
HP: 8500/8500
SP: 5000/5000
Description: Redback tigers are native to the Isles of Women, while this one is a cub, it still packs quite the punch.
Oh, so it's level 113.
...
.
..
113!?
A newborn has more levels than me!? And I thought I leveled up quite a lot!
"NGYEOOOWWWWW!!" The cub pounced at me.
"YIEEE!!"I cried as i tried to evade the oversized cat.
Sidestepping quickly, I felt the cat's paw still hitting my side.
"ARGHH!!" I grimaced as I rolled away.
[-1250 HP]
"Damn! That's a lot! I can't imagine taking that strike head on..." I mutter quietly
The ground the cub pounced on was destroyed on contact, with some debris flying to me.
This is no time be idle, I might die here! I have to get away!
I turned to the opposite direction quickly and I ran as fast as my legs could take me.
While I ran, I felt my hunger take its toll on my body.
"Damn, I still feel weak, I haven't got anything to eat yet."
I have to fight, that cat may be the only weak animal I can match up with. I guess this is bootleg ROB's way of watching over me huh. Still, I'm hungry and I'm already doing my best to stay conscious.
My stomach quickly agrees with my idiotic thought with a cramp.
I grit my teeth, stopped running and faced the direction of that cat.
[DING]
Due to Host's resolve, Spirit is increased by 1
"Perks"
I brought up the perks window and I quickly selected "Heart of Tarrasque".
[DING]
Rejuvenation
is created, which enhances host's HP and SP recovery greatly for a set period of time.
A change happened quickly, my muscles became more defined and grew in size, and my previously flabby stomach became an eight pack!
"Whaat?? I have toned biceps now" I look at my stomach " And visible abs!"
An eight pack! Gym trainers hate this!
Here's hoping [Rejuvenation] is as useful as it sounds. It would suck if I get one shotted and nothing to regenerate with.
"Rejuvenation" I mutter to myself.
I felt the effects quickly, my strength increasing.
[DING]
The Experience of skill Rejuvenation Increased!
[Rejuvenation (Active) LV.2 EXP: 4.226%]
Restores 1.3% HP and SP per second over 10 seconds.
With my strength going up to 431, I hope it's enough to incapacitate that food-ehem, cat!
Though making sure that I don't die, I brought up the perks section once more and selected "Specific Logia Devil Fruit"
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Another window appeared.

↓
There was no Ice, Magma, and Light Fruits, there were still good ones like Lightning and Fire. I browsed some more, there was no Sun Fruit. I guess that would be overkill, but in essence Lightning and Sun fruits should be the same as they are both plasma? I dunno.
NGEEEEYEOOOWW!
FOCUS! The food-- I mean cat is already there.
I quckly selected the Goro Goro no Mi, the fruit manifested in front of me. It was a blue colored fruit and shaped like a ball? With bolt-shaped figures decorating its skin.
Grabbing the fruit quickly, then taking a bite out the fruit was not exactly a pleasant experience. Forcing said unpleasant bolus down my throat more so. To put it into perspective, it was like taking a bite on a fruit that has a consistency of play-doh and tasted like boiled rotten egg.
"BLEGH! PHEGHWW! PLEGH! UGH! My appetite's gone now ugh, yuck."
IINNNGGGGG! A shock went through my body, is this an aftereffect?
I feel it.. the change going on in my body.
...
NGEEEYEEOOOWWW!! The cat, clearly not waiting anymore pounced again on my dazed body.
But instead of hitting my flesh, my body turned into lightning and evaded above the oversized cat.
CRGHSHH! TRSKKGHHHH! sfx: lightning crackle
"This is for scaring the shit out of me earlier you fuck!"
"LIGHTNING FIST!" I shouted as I performed my attack.
[DING]
A new skill is created by a specific action
[BEEP]
Lightning Fist
A lightning projectile/beam is shot out of the hand to damage the intended target.
I ignored the notification and focused on the task.
An enormous lightning projectile shot out of my hand directed downwards hitting the cat at point blank range.
BADOOOOFFFHHHMMMMM!! CRSKKKHHH! A flash of light followed by a thunderous boom sounded in the forest.
...
....
..
"Huff.. huff... I did it!" I said while catching my breath, landing at the now crater made from my attack.
Unlike the last time, only 8 [You leveled up!] notifications appeared on my vision. Though one notification was different.
[DING!]
The quest "First Blood" has been completed.
I really didn't care for the full notification now, I'll read it later.
As the debris from the impact settled, I saw a crater with a smell of burnt bacon permeated in the air. Consecutively, a growl was heard from my gut.
"I did that?" I looked at my hands, which was still crackling.
"Ugh, really hungry now. Now where are you food. Lemme take a bite." I said as I went through the rocks.
Finding the carcass from the rocks wasn't hard. The carcass itself was quite light. I dragged it back to my cave and started preparing myself for a feast.
...
What would I cook with anyway? I still haven't made camp and even a fire to cook on.
I dropped my kill and went towards a tree.
Using my lightning powers, I formed a lightning blade with my hand and started hacking through the tree. It was easy enough, without accidentally setting it on fire.
Dropping the logs I got to the ground, I dug a hole to put the logs in place.
Using my hands, I set one of the logs at the bottom on fire.
"Now I have camp" I said while smiling. Things were looking up.
I went and cut branches from a tree nearby to set the carcass above the fire. Removing the animal's skin, I started making sure that there was no contaminated part as I roasted the edible parts.
----------------------------------------
Hoo~~ I'm stuffed.
I was sitting on the ground, throwing a stick that I used to hold a piece of meat with.
Patting my exposed belly. Going through all that really took out alot from me,
[DING]
You have eaten, HP and SP recovery is increased by 50% for 8 hours.
So food also restores HP and SP huh? Neat.
I noticed that my clothes were ragged dirty now, with tears everywhere. The largest damage was the cat's pounce earlier, the whole right side of my shirt is torn off, showing off my nice bod.
Damn, no homo, is it homo if I'm admiring my new body? Gahahah.
Seriously though, I might be able to skin some animals for their hides.
Placing my hand on the ground, I let my powers manifest.
CRRKKKKKKSSS!
Granules of metals, some even chunks, started floating towards my hand, forming a blob of metal. I used my powers to heat the metal, once the blob was already red hot, I manipulated the blob to elongate forming a metal rod.
Heh.. looks like I can do some metal work with my powers. Living in this island became a bit easier now.
[DING]
A new skill is created by a specific action

I smiled as I read the skill description.
