Chapter 5: Something unexpected

Next morning, I woke up we a yawn as stretch my wings as I stand up and recall the discovery last night.

I sat down on the grass and try to focus my mind and think "Status" then a screen appeared before me even though I saw this last night it still surprises me.

Survival Instinct Lv 2 Flight Lv 1 Stealth Lv 4 Enhanced Vision Lv 2 ACTIVE Screech Lv 2 Claw Lv 2 Gust Lv 1

Seeing all these was a bit overwhelming last night, all of these details and my stats laid out for me as I check on my status.

I am a harpy which was expected and my level which is seven. Then I check lower and analyze which is which like HP is my health, MP is my mana then ST is my stamina.

Next up are class which I don't have so its not important yet so I move my eyes down.

Next are my titles which I learned about through the notification, First Blood was something the plus three physical stat boost was nice along with Made Possible which is gotten by defeating a something ten levels above me I still can't get over that I killed a living being but it was either me or them and I can't rewind time so I better move forward.

I check my skills first due to I know most of them already but when I press on one of the skills it let me see the exact details of what does which helps a lot so I don't have to memorize the moment it gave me the notification and learn what it does I thought as I press "Gust" to see what it does

[Gust] - Allows the user to create a gust of wind that pushes nearby objects or opponents back from the user, now you can make use of how to blow your enemies away without hurting them former pacifist.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Oh, that must have been what I used during the fight with the wolves I thought as I check more that I didn't last night I already checked my stats like my Physical an Mental but not Growth as I was tired and was sleepy.

[Basic Hand-to-Hand Combat] - you learned how to fight with your hands and with your species being a harpy it becomes more deadly, allows you have better muscle memory on fighting and dealing more damage with your hands or claws in your case.

That must have how I was able to kill that one wolf.

[Survival Instinct] - A animals survival instinct is what keeps itself alive and you being a harpy gave you this advantage even though you lack finesse, you have now a sixth sense that allows you to sense danger, predict enemy movement and potential threats.

This explained why I was able to handle those wolves better than I would have expected along with hand-to-hand combat

[Flight] - You can fly, but instead you chose to glide for now you should learn to fly already like right now chicken winged boy jump from the cliff.

Okay what's with description its not even trying to be subtle with this time.

[Stealth] - Congrats you now know how to a chicken and hide like a coward, creatures are less likely to notice you.

I'm a harpy not a chicken what is description its getting more insulting the more I read more of this.

[Enhance Vision] - You can see far than most people and animals even though you didn't see those wolves that where approaching you from a mile away.

Hey, how was I supposed to know when I discovered this system last night.

[Claw] - You know how to tear flesh like knife through butter with your claws, but you didn't use it on that wolf you where skinning, scared of a little blood on you even though you had it on your wings when it bit you.

Yes, I was scared. What was I supposed to do? I don't even know how I came to this world. I don't even know what do since I came to this world.

[Screech] - Let out a powerful scream that disorient any living being that is unlucky to hear it, Now you can cry like a baby to scare away your predators.

Hey I'm not a baby and I never cry once before expect that one time but that's not important.

After checking everything of the skills and passive lastly up next is are my stats which is separated into three categories Physical, Mental and Growth.

I already know what the Physical and Mental aspects due to me playing DnD with my siblings but Growth intrigue me since all of it are similar to what my HP, MP and ST but without the regen effect since its in the Growth category it would probably grow with me as time went on.

Understanding the information from my status gave me a clearer picture on my strengths and weaknesses and with these new found knowledge, I feel more prepared to tackle on whatever lies ahead of me on my journey.

...

After studying my status and packing every thing like the wolf fur and the remaining pieces of cooked meat I had I set out and continue exploring. The morning air was crisp and the light softly filtered through the canopy above casting a pattern of light and shadow on the forest floor.

As I was walking along the river I would occasionally would stop something of interest like a peculiar flower, animal tracks, or clusters of berries. I would collect and try to memorize what I've found.

After sometime cutting through the forest and following the stream as some time past the terrain became rockier and the trees began to thin out as the sound of rushing water grew louder. I soon found myself standing at the edge of a cliff and I was standing on top of a waterfall. The sound of rushing water filled the air as it falls down into the misty abyss of green and grey below.

But what took my breath away was the sight beyond the water fall I was standing on top of a floating how did I know have you seen a cloud up close and almost reachable before well that and the fact that I was seeing birds passing under the island and not only that but I saw a dragon heading somewhere north west of my direction.

For a moment I was overcome with awe and fear. This world is more bizarre than what I thought. With dragons, floating islands, weird screens and its leveling system with different rules than those I was used to. It felt even more fantastical than I had ever imagined.

Standing there at the edge, I felt the cool mist from the waterfall on my face as the breeze rustling my feathers which calm me from my shock. The view was breathtaking, but it also reminded me how isolated I truly was, I wanted to find others and learn more about this world, I needed to explore further but I don't know how I would be able to get down just by gliding so I would have to stay in the island for now, but it was clear that this island has its own mysteries and dangers like the wolves and that green creature.

After taking it all in, I took a step back from the edge. There is so much I didn't know, but one thing is for certain-I needed to understand this islands geography and the creatures and its territory as it would be critical and it meant everything for my survival.

"Well the kid is certainly handling this than I thought. Oh well I have better things to do right now so I hope I don't miss anything entertaining while I'm gone." The being thoughted before standing up from its seat and disappear into the mist
