Chapter 8: Tales of Fluffy

Ashley POV:

Me and Fluffy have been sneaking out together into the woods lately. He’s great at finding animals and all kinds of herbs. We’ve went a little crazy out in the woods while daddy is still at work. Most of the creatures we’ve fought are a level 1 or 2 but there has been a lot of them. Fluffy is such a great pet he just devours everything so I don’t have to worry about cleaning up the messes we leave behind.

Fluffy has already caught up to me. We’re both level 5 it is so perfect. While hunting yesterday he reached predator level 2. Now it’s time to hunt some real monsters. I heard some of the guards talking about there being a few wolves hanging around to the east of town. I’m going to have a wolf fur blanket for me and Fluffy. We can snuggle under it together and stay warm in the winter.

The two of us set out. Fluffy led the way since he has big ears and can hear really good. We were just looking for a few lone wolves. It would be a bad thing if we ran into a bunch of them so Fluffy had to pay attention. He’d warn me if something big and scary was coming our way.

After a really long walk through the woods we stumbled upon a clearing and caught sight of our prey on the other side of it. The creature was a level 7 lone wolf, I’d learned the observe skill with Fletchers help. Daddy had been real proud of me since without a ranger or scouting class it was apparently really hard to learn.

Right after we saw the wolf it lifted its nose up and sniffed the air before looking in our direction. There was a little hesitation in its eyes but eventually it came charging towards us. That was a bad idea Mr. Wolfy. Fluffy and I aren’t just any girl and her pet bunny out for a walk in the woods. Drawing my sword, I got ready for it while Fluffy bared his fangs and extended his little claws. He’s so cute when he acts like this.

As it leaped at me jaws open my vision started to gain a red tint and I swung my sword. Being a berserker is so fun, fighting is like eating ice cream and in a town as small as ours ice cream is hard to get. Finally, after a long drawn out battle me and Fluffy one. Still the bad doggy bit my leg and poor Fluffy has a long gash across his side. He’s going to have to wear one of my dolls sweaters to hide that from daddy.

After the fight was over I skinned the wolf, that was my original mission anyway. I’ll tell the tailor that daddy gave it to me, he can charge daddy for it, then I’ll have a new blanket. Wait maybe I should have him make a stuffed doggy, the wolf was pretty cute but it was too big to hug properly and I already have fluffy. Daddy said I could only have one tamed pet and I’m never giving up Fluffy.

Once I rolled up the hide and Fluffy finished eating the wolf we started heading back. We had to be careful to avoid the guards or they would tell Daddy what I’d been doing. When we got home I noticed we’d both leveled up. I’d become a level 6 berserker and Fluffy was now a level 3 predator, rabbit was still level 3 unfortunately. I’d have to figure out how to raise the rabbit class soon.

It’s only been three days since we killed the wolf and Fluffy has already out leveled me it’s so fair. I was feeding him some carrots this morning like I always do. He gets carrots in the morning and meat at night, and he became a level 4 rabbit. That was when I realized that rabbits eat carrots and to gain levels in the rabbit class he needs to eat carrots.

Tonight, I’d made a resolution to cook a meal out of carrots and meat for Fluffy. The meal didn’t turn out so well in the end but at least it didn’t start moving when I was finished, that happened once. I don’t know why the system keeps giving me such bad skills and classes. I’d tried to become a cook before an ended up getting offered some weird class, unholy chef. Apparently, it would have turned all the food I made into monsters, there was no way I would let that happen. I would become a great cook one day. Then it didn’t give the cooking skill but the toxic food skill and the killer cooking skill.

I don’t know why everyone tries to stop me from cooking. I’ve always heard it takes practice to get perfect but as soon as I even mention cooking daddy goes pale and won’t even let me near the kitchen. Still I’ve been secretly practicing and my toxic food skill has reached basic level 3 while my killer cooking skill is basic level 1. Now that I have basic level in them I should be able to get the real cooking skill.

The pot looked a little strange but I’m sure it’s supposed to be purple and bubbling. The carrots turning an emerald green seemed strange but there is now way I can mess up a pot filled with only water, chicken, and carrots, of and whatever was in that box I used for seasoning. For some reason Fluffy seemed reluctant to eat it but I made him eat the whole bowl see nothing bad happened.

Oh no Fluffy just started seizing what should I do. He must have choked on a bone. I better get daddy. As soon as I turned to rush out the door I noticed Fluffy had stopped convulsing and was lying on his side his breathing faint. Oh no, I hope he’s okay. I better check his status.

Toxic

He’s alive, oh everything is gonna be okay. He’s even got pretty purple stipes running from his head to his tale. The stew must have given him a power up. Still maybe I should get rid of the stew before daddy comes home, still a little taste can’t hurt anyone. Gaa, it’s horrible. Now wonder Fluffy had a tummy ache after eating this. I better throw this out before daddy finds it. Though now that I think about it the pretty green carrot is growing, pretty purple sprouts are shooting up I better go plant it.

When Fluffy gets hungry he can nibble on that carrot. Still this meal wasn’t a complete failure, I got another level in toxic food. Now I just have to find something to hide the dead and barren patch on the ground where I threw the food out.
