There were some very happy bunnies play chasing each other around. The eldest two siblings looked on in wonder. Right then, the storm rabbit decided it wouldn’t be too bad if he just named a couple of rabbits himself.
“You two, you’re now Fred and George.”
*DING*

As the confirmation went through, he saw [FRED] and [GEORGE] flash green before he felt the uncomfortable feeling of losing stats. He would have to be even more careful from now on. His attributes were probably now equal to that of a level sixteen or seventeen monster. Something to keep in mind despite his overpowered magic. Before he forgot again, he distributed his spare points. One into [INTELLIGENCE], five in [WISDOM], and the final three went into [PERCEPTION]. The rush of gaining attributes lessened the lingering uncomfortable feelings from just before.
His younger siblings had been assisted in levelling by a now [LEVEL 17] fox. Their levels now ranged from thirteen to fourteen. Going into [REYNARD]s status screen, he divvied up the points evenly between [CONSTITUTION], [WISDOM] and [PERCEPTION]. With the benefit from his race, the kitsune could now access his screen all on his own. The rabbit then taught his friend the basics and left him to his own devices. Next up his younger sibling’s stats. He brought all their [INTELLIGENCE] attributes up to ten and then washed his paws of them. They would now also be able to access their own screens as well.

While he was at it, he should probably help out his other three family members too. After asking permission, he saw that they all had a backlog of spare points. He entered ten points into [INTELLIGENCE] for each of them and then decided to leave the rest in their own paws. He saw the glazed looks in their eyes turn brighter. He felt a warm, happy feeling for having given them that. A few moments later they seemed to be even smarter, and he had a feeling they had dumped most of their points into [INTELLIGENCE] and [WISDOM].
Not long after [FRED] and [GEORGE] left to go out hunting again. Hopefully they would have a better time out hunting now. He was pretty tired though, so once he had run himself ragged play chasing his litter again, he laid down in the pile of fur and fell asleep. It was a good long sleep. He enjoyed it. He woke up upon sensing it was morning again, because magic stuff. The rabbit had a plan. A basic plan, but he did have one. Level his siblings to twenty-five, leave them in Mother and [REYNARD]’s care, go gain power until [LEVEL 50], and then go explore outside the dungeon. Pretty simple really. Simple didn’t meant easy though.
His litter was now also up and about. “Everyone, I have a surprise for you on the second floor! We are all going to go level there today.”
There were exclamations of surprise and wonder all around. All except Mother.
“My baby, that will be very dangerous. Are you sure?”
Wow, increasing the smartypants attributes sure did wonders.
“Yes Mother. They all have skills to hide themselves and I will be keeping an eye out for them. Also, I have arranged for some protection.”
His mother looked doubtful, but agreed in the end “Very well you may all go, do be careful.”
The storm rabbit gave her a cheeky look “what are you talking about mother? You’re coming too.”
She gave him a surprised expression this time. He was getting a lot better at reading rabbits as he continued to live with them.
“Me? I have no hiding skills baby.”
“That’s okay, I’ll be looking out for you” he replied smugly.
She glanced at him warily but they all ended up heading for the second floor. The storm rabbit searched for the wolves while helping the others hunt. It actually wasn’t that difficult. There were twelve of his family members hunting together so whatever they ganged up on didn’t really have a chance. The ability to access their own screens had allowed the others to purchase skills. On top of spamming the innate [DASH] skill, and activating [MANA BODY], they were now also using skills like [BASH] and [FORCEFUL KICK]. To be honest the skills hadn’t sounded great all that time ago when he first read them, but now that they were used alongside skills like [MANA BODY] and [CLOAK], they seemed pretty decent. Over the next few hours, they all steadily gained levels. There were a few slight slip ups and scares here and there, but his family learned quickly, and luckily none of the hits were lethal. His more boisterous brothers and sisters were the ones to get banged up a bit first. But, as said, they learned to keep an eye out and stay out of the way when necessary.
Finally, he sensed the pack he had subdued nearby. “Alright, surprise time” he told them.
The [WARG]s were currently resting in a small clearing. His mother saw that he was heading straight for them without any preparation.
“Baby, those are dangerous. We should not fight them. They are a big pack.”
“Don’t worry Mother, we’re going to be working with this pack, not hunting them.”
She gave him a dubious look.
“Hello again” he called as they came into the [WARG]s sight.
Immediately the alpha laid down, head to the ground. Its subordinates followed their leader’s example.
“Welcome back Master” the entire pack called in unison.
“Thanks, were going to have one of you work with one of us from now on. Alright troublemakers, take you’re pick” he switched from talking to the big wolves to talking to his siblings.
Half were unsure about the situation, but the rest, including the fox, leapt forward. Eventually the rest moved forward as well and they all picked out the [WARG] they wanted to hunt with. No one picked the alpha, he was just too strong for them, especially since he had gained levels since last time. The storm rabbit obligingly jumped up onto the largest wolf’s head. “We’ll split into two groups from here, Mother and Rey can go with one group, and I’ll be going with the other. We’ll meet back up at the burrow once its dusk. Any questions?”
There were none. He and his brothers went one way, while his sisters, mother and Rey went in the opposite direction. The [WARG]s were great hunters, and were much better at sniffing out the most fitting prey. Upon reaching dusk, he himself had reached [LEVEL 25] and his brothers had all gained available evolutions at [LEVEL 20]. He even suspected that some of them had reached twenty-one or twenty-two. The wolves had also progressed and the ones below [LEVEL 20] had reached their evolutions too. There was still a little bit of time before dusk, but it was time to head home.
On the way back he spotted [FRED] and [GEORGE] going in the same direction.
Monster – [HORNED RABBIT] – [LEVEL 25]
Monster – [ELETRIC HORNED RABBIT] – [LEVEL 27]
Cool. His older brothers had done awesome. It was time to go home, see what evolutions everyone got, and then fall into fluffy dreams. He loved sleeping. He’d been looking forward to it all day.
