Hello everyone! Paramythás here. I am trying to figure out how everything works so sorry if I am not able to upload on the time I was planning to. Well, without further ado, here's the story.
----------------------------------------
Ludius did not approach the rabbit from the front. Instead, he quietly crept behind the rabbit and hid behind a bush. He planned to take it by surprise but it did not go as planned. When Ludius jumped out of the bushes, the rabbit had already sensed his presence and was charging towards him. Ludius tried to dodge it but the rabbit changed his posture and hit him with his feet.
Due to the force of the impact, Ludius was thrown 10 meters away from the rabbit and hit a tree trunk. He could hear his bones cracking and he was having difficulty in breathing. He could tell that he had taken a lot of damage from just that single kick. He was even on the verge of falling unconscious. However, he did not feel fear. Instead, he felt thrill. A thrill so intense that it overshadowed all the other emotions in him.
He used the skill Soul Manipulation to forcefully keep himself conscious, and activated the skill Ambition. While he was doing these things, the bulk rabbit did not stay in one place. It started to charge towards him. Seeing the speed of the rabbit, a human of Aeon would have been astounded, but the fox was not. He used the elemental spheres he had created to slow him down. The rabbit ran straight, thinking that such attacks would not hurt him, but he could not have been more wrong.
The moment it came near the spheres, they changed their shape and turned into spikes with a sharp point. One could see the sleekness of these spikes. The moment the rabbit came into contact with the spikes, the spikes skewered its body. A loud cry of agony resounded in the forest. The pain was so much that the rabbit lost any reasoning that was left and rampaged around without a fixed target.
Ludius did not miss this chance and created more spheres. When the rabbit saw them, he registered Ludius as his enemy and charged towards him again. This time, Ludius transformed the spheres into long swords. The swords were floating behind him and looked completely ethereal. Ludius operated them and they targeted the rabbit. The rabbit tried to dodge them but they changed their trajectory instantaneously, making it impossible to focus on defeating Ludius.
For some minutes, the rabbit dodged them but they only got faster with each passing second. It was not like the rabbit had not suffered injuries. He was covered in scratches. Many of the slashes had grazed him and all of the accumulated damage was starting to make it hard for the rabbit to dodge. The rabbit, with no choice left, activated his Berserk skill. With the activation, a faint red light enveloped the rabbit. This was an effect of Berserk. The Berserk skill could let the user gain an explosive amount of power in exchange of some of the person's reasoning. This skill was a risky but effective skill and was a skill that only special bulk rabbits could gain. However, this skill was completely useless against Ludius.
The moment when the rabbit had changed its target from Ludius to the elemental swords, it had lost. While it was distracted, Ludius had once again merged with his surroundings. He waited for the right opportunity to strike and when the bulk rabbit started activating its skill, Ludius rushed out of the foliage and slashed it at one of its open wounds, and activated his poison magic. He used the hybrid poison claw to deal damage to it.
When the rabbit saw him, he lost his last sliver of reasoning and tried to rampage and kick Ludius away from him. Ludius dodged the attacks and had the swords attack the bulk rabbit once again. The bulk rabbit could not react on time and had swords impale him. However, as Ludius was starting to get low on M.P., he cancelled the spell which gave the elemental swords their form. As soon as that happened, the swords dispersed in the air, leaving only an injured bulk rabbit.
The bulk rabbit tried to attack Ludius again but was not able to move. This was due to using Paralyzing Poison Generation of the Poison magic. Now the bulk rabbit was completely defenseless and was at the mercy of Ludius. Ludius approached the bulk rabbit and bit his fangs into its body and released poison. Without being able to resist, the bulk rabbit died after a short while. With this Ludius had secured himself food. Just as he thought of cooking the food with fire magic, various windows popped up in front of him. They were:

He had already gotten used to these unexpected windows. Ludius was also overjoyed when he found out that he had leveled up. He had at least wanted one level for defeating such a strong rabbit. "It was lucky that, the rabbit was a dunce, or else I might have already died." thought Ludius, as he used fire magic on the rabbit's corpse. At that moment, he felt dizzy. He remembered that he had been forcing himself to wake up. Even his body felt heavy. This was due to using Ambition while his body was heavily damaged.
Like that he dropped on the ground and fell asleep. All the beasts that came near the fox were all scared by the big corpse behind him, so none of them attacked him. He did not know it himself, but the rabbit's cries of anguish had traveled all the way to the edge of the forest, to a small village. All the beings that were living who heard it were filled with fear. For four days, no being had stepped in another's territory. The reason for this was obvious. The bulk rabbit that Ludius had fought had been the ruler of the center of the forest. To back that title, it had the War God's blessings and its own unique ability and skill, which granted him big boosts in strength and speed. By no means, was it weaker than the wyverns of the edge of the forest. And yet, the denizens of the forest heard a cry filled with anguish. A cry that closely resembled the bulk rabbit's war cry. It made all of them vigilant. They put up their guard to max.
Even the humans of the village were disturbed when they heard the cry. They wanted to search for the cause of the noise, but could not do so as the noise had come from the Mystic Forest. It was a dangerous place, even for the experienced people so they could not confirm.

At the same time, in a higher plane, the Gods were making a commotion. The reason was that a level 1 mystic fox had defeated a level 25 bulk rabbit. Putting the race aside, there should not have been a chance to win for Ludius. Yet, the little fox pulled off a miracle. No, it was more like a well thought-out strategy. The fox was clearly on a different level than the rabbit.
In the midst of the Gods, who were conversing, Oldrin was sitting on a majestic chair and looking at the sleeping fox. The face of the fox was truly a cute and lovable face. However, his deeds were the complete opposite. He turned out to be too rational for Oldrin's taste. His battle instincts were good, but he lacked sympathy. Oldrin then looked for a solution through his mind, and came to a ridiculous conclusion.
"That's right! He just needs a master." Oldrin thought to himself. "My, I really am getting better at coming up with solutions."
