"Hey Skinny, may you rest in peace

My heart is crying, it can't take it anymore!

My dog died, and I don't want to know

It was freedom to leave my dog who just died~♪"

As he cooked, Jacob sang off the beat, not even rhyming.

"My dog has already been to Haiti

Oh my dog even went to war

It went to Israel, Islamic fucking holy shit!~♪"

"It's done…" Only when he finished frying the last of the beef steaks did Jacob stop singing.

It wasn't a fancy meal, he just fried three pieces of beef steak and cooked white rice.

But, this was enough for Jacob to eat with great satisfaction.

In his memories, the other he learned to cook since for a long time he had to live on his own while on the run. Or even before, since he never got to make peace with his parents and lived alone since he was 18 years old.

As he ate, he thought, 'I still don't have a tamer skill. Although a low level tamer skill, I can trigger a quest that gives a reward if I have a pet with a high level of wisdom and have a good affinity with the animal.'

This was one of the skills that several people got since it is common to have a pet. However, to trigger this quest, you must have completed the first main quest.

'This is also a good chance for me to get another reward...' Thinking like that, Jacob didn't waste any more time.

Putting the dirty dishes in the sink, he left the house.

'Capuchin monkey...' Jacob muttered in his mind. He recalls that it is a good option, in addition to being intelligent, it can help a lot if they are well developed.

In his memories, he remembers seeing a capuchin monkey capable of beating people at level 50 with ease.

"Huh?"

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

Surprisingly, several green laser lines appeared showing several different directions. There were even numbers, which can be guessed to be the distance number.

Jacob's heart beat wildly.

There was a direction that led to a forest and taking into account the number dictating the distance... It was almost certain that in this forest there must be capuchin monkeys.

A capuchin monkey costs over a thousand dollars. At this time it was too high an amount for Jacob to manage, even though the purchase he made was through the market card. Although he had a lot of gold coins, those gold coins would be useful for other things, something he wasn't willing to spend if he had any other option.

'It's not that far away, and it's a good opportunity if these green lines lead me in the right direction.' With that thought in mind, Jacob first looked at his smartphone, researching what capuchin monkeys like to eat.

After doing some research, he realizes that one of the things they like to eat is chestnuts.

As he searched, he didn't notice that the neighbor next door was looking in his direction.

Now she wanted to see it too, her six-foot eighteen-year-old new neighbor with lithe muscles layered over a lean swimmer's body. She was particularly fond of his pool blue eyes which matched his symmetrical face perfectly. Although she couldn't see his face now, as he was wearing some sort of headdress, she was still attracted to him.

"Hi, neighbor~", she said after swallowing to clear her throat.

Just then Jacob noticed her.

"Hi, Mrs. Elisa. What's up?" he asked sweetly as his blue eyes almost imperceptibly scanned her body, but quickly returned to her face.

"I am fine; Isn't it beautiful today?"

"Yes, it is..." He spoke ambiguously.

Jacob looked once more at her breasts. She wore an unlined suit with a material so tight that it bore the subtle imprint of her nipples even when soft, but in this case, it outlined her erect nipples so perfectly that she might as well have been topless.

Even though he tried to be subtle, Mrs. Elisa noticed his gaze and smiled sweetly.

Although she was already in her 40s and had an 18-year-old son, she looked to be in her 30s at best. Jacob found her attractive, her shoulder-length thick brown hair and olive tan, courtesy of genes inherited from her Greek ancestors.

Although he didn't like her son who looked at him like he owed him a million dollars; she was different, as she always treated him well.

"It was nice talking to you." She said with a smile, "I'll see you some other time, and if you want to come over to my house, I can get you some food. You know~"

"Oh, sure." Jacob couldn't help but have some thoughts about her saying that.

"I am here."

Before he was at the entrance to a forest, there were three green intertwined tender lines facing the same direction. Jacob walked in while holding some chestnuts in his hand, while also having a 1kg bag in his inventory.

Suddenly, the three green lines became 2.

"Something is happening..."

Jacob ran. He could guess that now that the changes had started, even the animals would be affected, it wouldn't be strange if some animal had gained more strength and was hunting the capuchin monkeys.

Though it was cruel, this also favored Jacob, as if he saved the capuchin monkey and even took revenge, he could increase favoritism for him.

Suddenly, a large brown snake dropped from the tree, nearly landing on top of Jacob. Its body fell to the floor, causing a loud thud.

Jacob was a little scared. When he saw that he was level 15... Although it wasn't high enough to cause much fear in him, even giving him a great chance to win, Jacob didn't want to waste time there, so he kept running, even though he knew that the serpent brown would try to chase him.

As he ran, he looked back and saw that indeed the brown snake was dragging after him, however, he gave up when the difference in speed became evident.

This was a forest with some dangerous animals, it wasn't a place that unprepared people could enter, but Jacob didn't worry about that, although some animals were already strong by nature and with the change in the world they got stronger, it would be difficult for an animal to be stronger than him, at least now.

Unlike humans, animals tend to grow stronger and faster because they live by hunting. The fact that they also level up, makes the food they ate digest faster and they move on to the next target.

But, as he himself saw, even a snake was already at level 15. It is true that the level of many animals already starts at higher levels, however, if you give these animals a little time, they can double or even triple their current levels.

The distance shown by the intertwined green line was decreasing little by little.

"Cougars?"
