I need to get stronger if I want to survive, and for that, I need to first understand my abilities.
If I look at my abilities, some of them are self-explanatory, like the weak bite was what allowed me to tear off part of the heads of the 2 leeches, and the weak paralyzing venom was what paralyzed the other three.
If I think about it to see that these 2 skills are in “active skills” then they must have a cost peruse, and since I don’t have MP and My STM was at zero and its max value before was five, reflecting rather I used two weak bites and three poison attacks so the cost of the two skills should be the same as it is 1 STM peruse.
The skill named “leech barrel” must be what allowed me to eat more than my body mass by eating 2 leeches.
Resistance to hunger is self-explanatory, one of the leeches must have been hungry for a long time which made her learn the skill or like me, was born with it.
Poor blood detection is also self-explanatory and explains how they find their prey without eyes or nose.
And the ability to “sucking blood” is also self-explanatory, it allows me to suck blood more efficiently and quickly, probably any leech has this ability, but I still haven’t been able to test this ability well, since the leeches had almost no blood at all. the same size as me, being around three to eight centimeters.
I still have to test the detection skill to see the cost, let me see if I can see my STM now and then to see the cost and distance.
Stamina: 6/6
I’ll try to activate the ability the same way I do with the status thinking about activating.
Enable [ Weak blood detection:1 ].
When I thought like that the ability activated and I could feel the blood around, I can feel the blood of the leeches but not the Rabbit which is more than five meters from me, it also tells me the directions that the blood is, I left it on a while and then I was getting tired and hungry fast after six minutes my STM went to zero again.

Looks like I’ll have to eat again.
Nhoc! Nhac!
After that, I was happy that my STM recovered to the maximum and I recovered from the two conditions I was suffering from.
Ding!
After eating the other bodies, another notification appeared that I thought of visualizing.
<[ Skill leveled up [ Leech Belly: 1 > 2 ] ]>
It seems that skills can level off as they are used, just like this barrel skill leveled off after I ate five whole bodies.
Now I have to try to get stronger, first I’ll go to another puddle that’s on the left side of mine, I saw that there are only six leeches there, which should be enough for me to go up one more level, I’ll keep going from puddle to puddle until you reach the maximum level and see what happens.
I have three urgent priorities right now.
Priority is to get stronger, otherwise, I won’t live long and can be devoured like I devoured five leeches today.
The second priority is finding a safe base where I can sleep and rest, preferably before nightfall.
The third priority is to find out more about this forest, starting with the monsters and their territories, then the size of this forest, and if any towns nearby.
With that all sorted out and already trying a plan that I can follow and orient myself to now, I can begin to see what this new life has to offer me.
Looking at the sky, trying to confirm that there are no more birds, I start to go to the left puddle slowly, as I am slow out of the water, and before entering I try to locate my next prey to try to finish them off quickly one by one, because the moment someone’s blood surfaces, the others will gather.
After my quick reconnaissance, I enter the puddle and head for the two furthest leeches, getting closer and quickly attacking the first one on the head with [ Weak Leech Bite: 1 ] and after tearing off a piece of the head I turn to the second one and use my other ability [ Weak Paralyzing Poison Secretion:1 ] to paralyze her, then try to push her away from the first one, then kill her by biting her head several times.
Ding!
<[ You gained 1 EXP from killing little leech ]>
.
<[ You gained 1 EXP from killing little leech ]>
Then I walk away while I try to locate the other four leeches, and I see that three went to the first body and only one went towards the second body, I went towards the first body and without them noticing I bit the third Leech as quickly as possible with [ Lesser Leech Bite:1 ], I tore off a piece of the head and swallowed.
Nhac! Ooo!
I felt a bite on the body and attacked without hesitation with [ Weak paralyzing venom secretion:1 ] and after the fourth leech stopped moving I dove fast down into the puddle, escaping a fifth leech’s bite attack and bit it with another poisonous bite, paralyzing her too, when I looked I realized that the sixth leech was still on the second corpse commenting, so I finished the fourth and fifth leech.
Ding!
<[ You gained 1 EXP from killing little leech ]>

<[ You gained 1 EXP from killing little leech ]>

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Low Leech Bite: 1 > 2 ] ]>
.
<[ Your skill leveled up [ Weak Paralyzing Poison Secretion: 1 > 2 ] ]>
I’m really tired now and I only have 1 MTS left, I’ll be watching the sixth leech while I gobble up one of those leeches before the sixth one finishes eating there and come here, so when she starts eating I’ll ambush her from behind to test mine bite skill that just leveled up.
Nhac! Nhac! Nhac!
As I ate I noticed that the sixth leech was already running out and quickly stopped eating and walked away from these corpses, I waited patiently until she finished eating and started swimming to the pile of corpses floating together, when the sixth leech took the first bite of me. I hid behind her and with a quick [Leech Bite: 2 ] to the head, I killed her.
Ding!
<[ You gained 1 EXP from killing little leech ]>
Ding!
<[ You gained a level ]>
.
<[ The level will be on hold until you circulate the experience gained throughout your body to be absorbed and then fully integrated into your stats ]>
Finally, one more level, but before meditating I’m going to eat some of these disgusting leeches to get my STM back faster, in case I have to fight again.
Nhac! Nhac!
<[ You have learned the following skills from Little Leech:
• [ Swim ] ]>
After I finished eating two of the corpses, I started the same procedure I did the first time, I just stood there with my eyes closed, I tried to clear my mind and calm my emotions when I could feel the formless, ethereal energy of EXP, I started to gather and guide it slowly through my veins and blood as my body slowly absorbed it. After about fifteen to twenty minutes I was finally done.

Looks like this plan will work, for now, I’ve already leveled up again, and also managed to level up two skills, at the same time I gained another skill while eating, it’s a passive skill, by name should help me swim faster or better at least.
I’m going to rest for a while, and wait for my HP to be maxed out before I go to another pool and continue leveling.
I’m surprised I’m not freaking out about all this, I’ve never fought on earth before because of my weak body, but on my first day here I’ve already killed eleven leeches that can be considered the same race as mine, and I ate them as well. it’s cannibalism.
But with nothing to do with a dangerous quote like that, I can only try my best to survive, I don’t have the time or the luxury to regret what I’m doing now.
Now that I pay attention, the sun is already high in the sky, so it’s already halfway through the day, and look at the beautiful suns, one yellow and two red. It is another world, one that has three suns.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ufa!
I’m laughing nervously, I don’t even know how many hours there is a day in this world, how do they keep time here?
I’ve rested enough, I’ll try to finish off the other puddles with fewer leeches before dark because at night the monsters can get more active, and it can be dangerous for me, I need as much strength as I can acquire by then.
Let’s continue to the next one, and pray that all the leeches are as weak and dumb as the ones I’ve killed so far, for my good.
