Chapter 3

It has been around 2 hours since shivak started walking towards the forest. All he did for 2 hours was walk and check his surrounding for something to eat because he was hungry. He looked back and the tree which was filled with ants was still in view. It was expected because he was tiny. One thing which surprised shivak was that despite walking non-stop for 2 hours, he was tired at all. While walking shivak experimented with his new body and found out that, his 2 antennas were extremely useful. They were useful to tell if he was in danger or not and also to see if any edible foods were nearby or not.

After some walking some more he stopped in front of a berry bush. His antenna was telling him that he can eat them. He also found out that his antenna was very important to him. They served for multiple purposes. They were used to smell, sense enemies nearby and communicate with other ants. He looked op towards the berry bush and could see lots of berries. He was already hungry so when he saw those berries, he started climbing without thinking anything. It was really easy for him to climb the berry bush. After going near a red berry he started to eat the berry. 

SKILL OBTAINED:

Photosynthesis

Able to absorb sunlight to gain energy

'Oh! What is this? Did I get a skill just by eating a berry? Wow! I can't believe this...I mean thanks, i guess'

He ate until he was full. He could only finish half of the berry. With his stomach full, he laid on a leaf next to the berry without any care and started sleeping. Sun was high in the sky and with his new skill which helped him to gain energy, he closed his tiny eyes and started sleeping. 

He suddenly woke up when his antenna picked up the danger. He panicked because he was falling towards the floor. After landing on the floor which did nothing to his body because he was way too small he sighed in relief. He checked his body to see if anything was broken, he jumped up in shock.

'How did grew I so big? If I remember correctly I was around 4-5inches in size. Now I am almost 8 inch. I am almost double in size now.'

Shivaks body grew in size but nothing else was changed. His size was slightly bigger than those guards beside the queen ant. He was in shock for quite some time. After recovering himself from his shock, he looked around for any predator. It was already dark outside but he could see clearly as day. He silently walked without any destination. He started thinking about what he should do in the future.  

' I can gain skills if I eat other creatures. This is a magical world so I should expect some magic skills too. My first priority should be to find or hunt creatures and consume them for skills. I wonder if any corpse of a dragon is nearby like in novels. '

He could not find any dragon corpse around him but he found rabbit warren. He is too small for them right now but for future, he memorized the place. He was also a bit faster than before. His antenna picked up some movement nearby, so he looked around and found a nest on a tree. He climbed the tree and stood in front of the nest. There were 4 hatchlings. As soon as they saw him they started screaming. He bit one of the hatchlings by the neck and started running towards the berry bush he saw earlier. He was scared because if the mother finds that he took the baby then, his death was certain. After some struggle, the hatchling took its last breath. After hiding inside the bush he started eating the chick. 

SKILL OBTAINED:

Hollow bones

Your bones are lighter which helps you to fly/glide smoothly.

SKILL OBTAINED:

Eagle vision

Able to see things in great detail even from far. 

'Now this is nice. Eagle vision will come in handy but hollow bones will be of no use to me because ants don't have bones. I feel sleepy again. Do I have to sleep everytime I eat? That will be annoying if that's true.'

After eating the hatchling shivak suddenly felt sleepy, he went a little further in the bush so he will not be seen from outside. He collected some leaves and put them on the floor to make a bed. Then he closed his eyes and slept. While he was sleeping his body started to glow slightly and he increased in size yet again.
