[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.
