Well, his stats rose by a significant amount, he should really thank 'X' for this amazing cheat Arthur wondered whether he is considered strong or not, almost 100 in strength seemed really a lot but he dared not overestimate his power or be the least be carefree lest he ends in the same fate as his past life.
After adjusting himself for some time with his new body, he began to wander around in what seemed to be a forest, but surprisingly, he didn't find a single creature even after walking for some time. Anxiety soon enveloped him and dangerous thoughts overwhelmed him, he even thought of the possibility of this forest being haunted although it looked pretty normal and peaceful-looking.
Whilst he spent time searching for a relatively safe place to sort his thoughts, Arthur managed to get used to the Boar's body, at least, he will be able to put up a small fight in case dangerous comes. Approximately an hour later, he stumbled into a horrifying scene that made him momentarily startled and frozen in the same spot for several seconds.
A big silver wolf 2 meters high and 1.5 meters in length was devouring a boar like him just 100 meters from his location, it was seriously terrifying, the boar was dead, its body was torn apart and blood was all over the ground. He stood there scared, he couldn't even move from fear, but not even a couple of seconds passed and the Silver wolf noticed him, it stopped devouring the poor boar and stared at him with its ferocious eyes.
He could feel its ferocity from 100 meters, while he was lost in thought not knowing what to do, the silver wolf leaped in his direction with fast speed, it resembled a streak of lightning as it made its way toward him.
Although he was in a boar's body, the agility stats was not just for show, when he was searching for a safe place, he tested his speed and Holy Cow was it insane, if someone from his previous world saw a boar run like that, they would just think they are hallucinating or dreaming, after all, there is no way a boar could run like a leopard.
The amount of Agility he got from the Boar was very little, fortunately, he was a Parasite and had increased speed, for this, Arthur was pretty thankful.
Even though he judged his speed to be greater than his opponent, the fear still rooted him to the ground and he couldn't move, the wolf finally struck Arthur and bit him in his neck with its sharp fangs.
You have Been Bitten(-49 Health)
Due to the Effect of BloodFangs: Your stats have been decreased:-10% mana
-2 health every second
'ARGH, it fucking hurts!'
The pain was insane but it helped him snap out of it and come back to his senses, he thought of himself dying just like this, he didn't even get his revenge and couldn't enjoy a peaceful day in his new life.
The rage and anger that were slumbering inside of him emerged, making his breath erratic and his mind blank for a split second. He started remembering all those painful memories and all the torture he received. His hatred exploded and he started slamming the wolf to the tree so he could let go of him but its fangs were so deep in Arthur's neck that it wouldn't let go no matter how much he struggled.
Furthermore, his health was decreasing with fast speed due of the effect of blood fangs, nonetheless, he slammed again and again, without even caring about the pain, all he was thinking about was his revenge, he even forgot about the current situation.
While he was angrily pummelling the wolf on the tree, his mind cleared a bit when he heard sounds in his head but he just ignored it and kept repeating the same action ruthlessly.
Arthur only stopped after a while had passed, he felt his body become numb from the excessive blood loss and the depletion of his Stamina, he turned his head and looked at the area the wolf was supposed to be, however, he saw nothing, all that was left of it was meat and blood.
Even the tree was destroyed beyond recognition. He stood there, surprised at what he just did, everything about what happened seemed blurry. Although he was gravely injured, the good thing was that he didn't lose his life, with blood littered on the ground and gory meat paste next to him, Arthur checked his Logs to see what was the noise he heard a bit earlier was about.

He was happy to see he gained levels, and also he got +50 to all his stats, that really made him even more delighted. To be honest, he regretted doing what he did, had he controlled his emotion and just stopped after killing the wolf, he could have possessed it for tit was a better vessel than a boar, plus, he would gain the wolf's stats which would really be helpful
'I really should get a hold of my emotions, huh?'
After going through his status window again, he started searching for a place to sleep for the night.
He felt mentally and physically tired, after all, it was a long day full of surprises, for a man like himself who lived in the modern society, to experiences all of that is exhausting, to say the least. Arthur wasn't particularly knowledgeable about the forest-life, but he at least knew that there must be dangerous beasts that hunt at night, it would be too unfavorable for him to roam an unknown territory when such monsters lurk around.
Soon enough, Arthur found a little cave not too far from where his 'battle' occurred, he entered and laid on the ground to rest, today was a tiresome day for him and he needed some to recuperate some Stamina and let his mind relax.
His neck was still in pain because of the wound from the wolf's fangs but his health bar was recovering slowly but surely, and that's certainly a good sign. He didn't feel hunger since he ate the wolf or what was left of him, so he just closed his eyes and thought about hiscurrent life and how things were bad from the moment he was reincarnated.
The passing of time went unnoticed for the sleeping boar, the light coming from the shiny sun woke him up. He felt energetic as he stretched his body and surveyed the cave just in precaution.
The good thing was that his wound was completely healed, his health and stamina bar were also full, he checked his status window again to see if anything changed :
