I haven't mentioned that when I searched for prey I came across a mintbush.

I am not sure, but I think it can be used to scare rats away.

And if I throw it in the middle of the rat swarm there will be a few rats that escape alone.

Then all I need to do is to catch them, hunt them and eat them....

This will be the first time in my life I am killing something that isn't just some bug.

Will I be able to handle the blood?

I mean I had a fight with a few people in school and we punched each other and that one time I gave that arrogant child a bloody nose.

But... this is different.

I first need to inflict serious injuries an then eat them.

System, do I have to eat the whole body?

YES, IF YOU DON'T EAT AT LEAST 80% OF THE BODY IT WON'T GIVE YOU ANY EXPERIENCE POINTS.

Shit!

I will even have to eat the organs!!!

Do I really need to do this?

YES, OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE OBLITERATED IN A FEW DAYS.

I really don't have a choice. And there I thought the conditions wouldn't be so hard as neither were the awakening conditions.

Anyway, complaining doesn't change anything.

Only actions do!!!

I quickly rushed back to the spot where I saw the mint bush and thankfully nobody destroyed it in the meantime.

I took all the leaves that my tiny mouth could carry and ran back.

After I came back to the rats, I looked for a place where I could let the leaves directly fall on them.

To my surprise I easily found something of use.

There was a window seat directly abive the rats and a few boxes where under it.

It wasn't far in the air either and I think I can barely reach it with a jump from the boxes.

I ran to the box that is closest to the window.

I prepare for the jump of my life.

If I don't succeed the noise of me hitting the ground will alarm the rats and they will run away from me.

The possibility of me escaping and finding such an opportunity again is very small.

And, after a few days, I WILL BE OBLITERATED!!!!

No, I HAVE TO MAKE THIS JUMP.

I put myself in position, put all my strength into my knees and....

JUMP!!!

I feel like I am flying.

The window seat comes nearer and nearer.

I stretch my feet, try to grab the edge and....

SUCCESS!!!

I got a hold of the edge.

Now I just need to pull the rest of my body up.

After a few seconds of struggling I finally made it.

"Huhu!!!"

I won't have to die.

Anyway, don't get too distracted Zack.

I still haven't killed the rats.

Now, unto the next stage of my plan.

I position myself above the rats and open my mouth.

The leaves perfectly fall in the right direction and there is no wind that could ruin everything.

I watch as they hit the ground and THE RATS FREAK OUT.

They run in different directions and there I spott my prey.

A rat that had no companions and is running directly to me.

I jump from the window seat back on the box and wait for the rat.

It comes nearer and nearer.

My adrenaline pumps up and I concentrate.

This is my only chance. Don't fuck it up Zack.

Finally the rat is in reach.

I prepare myself and....

JUMP!!!
