Chapter 7 - Magical Beast

{You killed an antelope: Exp +5}

{You devoured an antelope: Exp +0.2}

'Extra exp from eating!?' Draxus thought while feeling like he just discovered a new world. 

'World devouring system really has something to it's name!' he thought with a weird expression on his face then looked at the dead antelope.

'Just a little bite gave me 0.2 Exp, what if I ate everything?' he thought while moving closer to the carcass.

'Eating raw meat is supposed to irritate me but why don't I feel anything?' Draxus thought while looking at the dead antelope.

'Forget it, I'll just eat it for now' biting into the antelope, at first it felt a bit strange willingly biting into raw meat but the system beep And the taste seemed to make him forget everything else.

{You devoured an antelope: Exp +0.2}

{You devoured an antelope: Exp +0.2}

{You devoured an antelope: Exp +0.2}

Without even realizing it, he already ate the antelope whole leaving only the bones and inner organs.

'Did I just do this?' looking at the mess caused by him, Draxus wondered how he could do it and still not feel anything towards it.

'Its better I don't feel anything towards it anyways, it's better that way.' he thought then left the corpse walking back to his last landmark before sighting the antelope.

He scrolled over to the main interface to check the total exp he gained

{Name: Draxus Katapinon}

{Age: 19}

{Race: Wolf}

{Bloodline: Hidden}

{Level: 3}

{Exp: 0/30}

{HP: 100/100}

{Energy: 0/10}

{Strength: 8}

{Agility: 12}

{Stamina: 11}

{Unassigned Exp: 25.4}

{Skills: Swipe, Dash, Bite}

'Wow, that was a lot of exp just from eating it down to the last flesh.' he thought while checking the total unassigned Exp he had left.

'I got five for killing it meaning I got 10.4 just from eating it, that's more two times the exp from killing it!' Draxus thought with joy clearly written all over his face. Gaining exp didn't seem that hard again and he didn't have to wait for the daily and weekly tasks.

'I'll just find one more then go back to the lake' he thought then continued his journey while leaving marks behind to avoid getting lost in the forest.

After a while he met his second prey, another antelope feeding on the lush green grass. 'Looks like there's a herd of antelope nearby to meet two consecutively.' 

Suddenly a wild thought came to his mind ' What if I can kill all the antelopes in the herd, won't I get strong enough to create a pack instantly?' 

With his current strength he could already consider himself half a magical beast and it was already enough to create a pack, 'Leveling up a few more times should solve that problem.' He thought then crawled towards the antelope who was munching on the grass peacefully without a care then leaped towards it's neck.

'Even without doing all these I could still kill it easily, it can't even react to my speed. It barely moved before dying' Draxus thought looking at the dead antelope while the system's familiar ding came ringing.

{You killed an antelope: Exp +5}

'I already have enough to level up one more time!' he thought then scrolled back to the main interface.

{Name: Draxus Katapinon}

{Age: 19}

{Race: Wolf}

{Bloodline: Hidden}

{Level: 3}

{Exp: 0/30}

{HP: 100/100}

{Energy: 0/10}

{Strength: 8}

{Agility: 12}

{Stamina: 11}

{Unassigned Exp: 30.4}

{Skills: Swipe, Dash, Bite}

'System, What's the energy stat for?' he asked with a curious expression on his face while tapping on it.

{The Energy stat is used to cast advanced skills and spells, it will be unlocked after you finish your first race upgrade}

''Spells!' Draxus was about to scream internally, the difference between normal beasts and magic beasts was very vast, magic beasts were way larger and stronger and could use magic on their own just like awakened Draven mages.

If he could also use magic he could be considered as a magical beast and that was enough to gain a Territory in the dark forest.

'When is the first race upgrade?' 

{Level 10} 

'Alright level 10 here I come! I'm going to eat my way there!' he thought with excitement written all over his face then said.

'System assign 30 exp to level up!' 

{30 exp assigned to level up}

{Ding! Level up: strength +1, Agility +2, Stamina +2} 

The familiar rush of energy came at him like a tide and he could feel his pores opening up. It felt like a gentle hands was caressing his body all over then he could feel it receding and he checked the panel again.

{Name: Draxus Katapinon}

{Age: 19}

{Race: Wolf}

{Bloodline: Hidden}

{Level: 4}

{Exp: 0/40}

{HP: 100/100}

{Energy: 0/10}

{Strength: 9}

{Agility: 14}

{Stamina: 13}

{Unassigned Exp: 0.4}

{Skills: Swipe, Dash, Bite}

'I need to level up six more times to trigger the race upgrade. This will be a bit hard, might as well check the antelope herd nearby' he thought then walked over to the antelope carcass and sunk his teeth in ignoring the gruesome sight.

'As long as I can get stronger it doesn't matter' he thought.

After finishing the antelope, he checked the panel 

{Name: Draxus Katapinon}

{Age: 19}

{Race: Wolf}

{Bloodline: Hidden}

{Level: 4}

{Exp: 0/40}

{HP: 100/100}

{Energy: 0/10}

{Strength: 9}

{Stamina: 13}

{Unassigned Exp: 11.0}

{Skills: Swipe, Dash, Bite}

He gained a total of 10.6 Exp from it he walked on while checking for any danger nearby. 

'Looks like the exp gain isn't constant, depends on how much I eat huh.' 

He walked for a while more when he headed ruffling sounds nearby then silently crawled over to see a herd of antelopes grazing in the open.

'Just like I guessed, they actually have a herd nearby' he thought then watched over twenty antelopes grazing in the open without a care. he was about to come out of hiding when he saw an antelope kneeling a distance away from the main herd with long green horns.

The system beep suddenly resounded in his ear and what he saw made him give up hope for getting an instant race upgrade.

{Ding! Magical Beast one class above the host has been discovered! Proceed cautiously} 

'A magical beast! No wonder they can openly graze here without getting disturbed.' he thought while slowly retracing his steps.
