I was the only one here at the pond. There were no other monsters nearby. With this, I could test some of the theories I have about the system and some of the rules it had. First, I could increase my St with only a few hours of running but knowing that It must grow in difficulty the higher a score is. But I want to see whether you can increase stats like Str by training or if it was impossible to do that. And was I able to gain new skills, or did the system only give them exceptional circumstances for growth in one's Lv or something else? I had both a Class and Evolution, so I may be able to learn things by myself, right?
Instead of sitting there as an idiot and wasting time, I should jump right into it. First, I tried to use the skin I had been carrying with me this whole time and rolled it out. Staring just a second at it, I grabbed the tentacles and burned myself, but nothing happened to me after a few seconds. “Fuck, that scared me thought the Mother was going to smite me or some shit like that. Maybe hurting oneself doesn't break the rules placed here.” I mumbled to myself. I stopped using the tentacles from the skin after I hit 5 Hp. Rot looked to be spreading from my hands to my upper arms, where my shoulders were. Black corruption flowed in my veins. Going over to the pond, I drank a little of it to help heal and see if the rot spread would stop, and it did just like I thought it would. The pond has excellent healing properties. While the corruption and damage from the pollution were being healed, I began to run around to see if I could raise my St even more and see if Agi would increase after a while.
I continued my run around the pond at full speed until I ran out of St and lay there until I could regenerate more. After that, I swung my claws around while running to get used to moving while fighting, so I wouldn't get hit while fighting, even moving my tail around to get a better feel. Soon I recovered enough mp to cast Inferior Healing once. It brought me back to 19/20 health, back to my skin. My health hit five again, and I drank some more of the healing water. And kept on repeating this until I received a notification with a bit of a ding sound.

A grin broke across my face as I read the messages the system had for me. This meant many things could be done to strengthen me by training myself.
I did everything I could think of to make myself stronger. I was running, slashing, lifting heavy things, and even using my spells when I had regenerated my mp. And hours of training went by in a flash. I heard monsters coming closer, so I had to stop for today and get some rest. But I liked the new gains I got.

My body ached with bone-deep pain as I ran ragged. I Lay near the pond to drink water, using it to speed up my body's recovery. The muscles were thicker and leaner. My Agi became my highest stat after all the running I did. I could run 55 yards (50.29 meters) in 4 seconds. I'm not sure how fast that is, but it seems to be pretty fast for me. And since I have raised my stats well except for Chs and Int, I'm going to focus free points into Int now because It seems like something that will take forever to raise without help. And Chs can probably be increased just by learning to talk better and having more social interactions with others. So no free points ever going into that one. It can rise on its own because I'm not going to waste a resource on something I can't use.
More and more monsters came to the pond. I just ignored the stupid ones who couldn't talk and talked to a few tier 2's keeping far away from the bird rat thing that pissed me off last time. Some of the ones I had met before were not here, meaning they were dead or still out fighting. I did see the V again covered in wounds, but three levels higher. Now Lv 13, I waved at him at went over to a place where I was alone and tried to sleep for a while to rest lightly, so I could be ready to leave in a few hours to hunt again. Closing my eyes, I drifted off to sleep.
