[Day 6]

My wounds have not completely healed, but I think I am getting slightly better.

I managed to find three more Rabbit corpses of the fools that fell to their deaths with me, and I carried them slowly into a small cave I found, where I am resting while slowly eating them to regain energy and make Immortal Body's effect kick in.

As I eat and rest, I begin to wonder where I am.

When I was born and escaped from the little cave I originally was in, I only found an endless sea of snow with perpetual snowstorms.

But when I fell off the cliff for god-knows how much height, I got into this place.

The snow has not disappeared or anything, but the snowstorm is over, it seems.

Or maybe it is not in this place?

Well, anyway, as I said this place is a bit different.

I can clearly see what is ahead of me a bit when I investigated.

I am I some kind of plain, which is all covered in snow and blue-colored plants.

Alongside that, there is an enormous pine tree forest that blocks me from advancing further.

If I want to keep going, I have to cross this place.

However…

Well, I am scared of doing so.

Although I did not found any monsters yet, I am sure that there will be something bad there.

I am pretty sure I heard the howls of wolves all over this place, and as I am eating here, I kept hearing them through the entire night…

I am weakened and a little dragon, so of course I was scared.

If a pack of wolves comes here… I will surely die.

Maybe I could fight a single one but against a whole pack, I am as good as dead.

I have not even seen how strong they are, but it is not hard to be stronger than me, who sucks so much at everything.

Okay, enough self-loathing, time to improve me.

Well, interestingly enough, after enduring all of that pain, some of my Skills leveled up.

Also, I gained a Camouflage Skill… I do not know when I got it, but maybe when I stealthily attacked the rabbit? Though it found me out, so it is weird.

Well, there is no point in questioning things too much.

But based on this, I probably can learn even more Skills if I do certain things repeatedly, right?

But what else can a dragon-like me do to get Skills?

I already did camouflage stuff… what else?

I have been biting things for a while, so I do not think I can get a ”Bite” Skill.

I have also been slashing the meat of the rabbits with my claws, and I have not gotten a ”Slash” Skill either.

So what else?!

I begin to rack my brains thinking about what I could do, but everything that comes to mind is always regarding having a human body.

If I had a human body I could be able to learn how to fight using techniques or weapons, even crafting, alchemy, and other stuff, maybe…

But as a dragon? Nope.

Ugh… What else could I…

Ding!

Oh?!

After racking my brains for so much, I got a Skill that makes it even easier and faster to think things through.

I feel like I can think many things through a single second now.

Damn.
