And so I continued to eat and eat and eat and still did not feel full. And now almost a day later the entire orc village is a ghost town. Well, besides me that is. I pretty much ate anything that looked appetizing. Orcs, elves, and even some of the tools that had elements to it. Unfortunately, the tools gave me no skills. But! I did get plenty of skills from the elves. How did they taste you ask? Well, to be honest not that bad, similar to chicken.

To get back on topic, I gained six skills that let me use magic.  <Earth Magic (Lvl 1)>, <Wind Magic (Lvl 1)>, <Fire Magic (Lvl 1)>, <Water Magic (Lvl 1)>, <Dark Magic (Lvl 1)>, and <Light Magic (Lvl 1)>. Magic is all based on the image. So there is no actually spells for things like fire pillar or the ever famous fireball. It is all in how you envision it. How do I know this? Trial and error of course!

Now <Fire Magic (Lvl 1)> and <Water Magic (Lvl 1)> were a godsend! I was able to actually cook what I was eating which made things taste so much better and <Water Magic (Lvl 1)> is really useful since now I can drink to my heart's content whenever I  want.  During this whole process of feasting my levels went up like crazy and so did some of my skills. The skills that rose were, <Gluttony (Lvl 4)>, going from level 2 to 4, and <Thick Skin (Lvl 5)> went from level 1 to 5. I have no idea why this started leveling up. Once I sunk my teeth into the elf flesh it automatically leveled up. After that, it seemed to just keep leveling until I ran out of elves to eat. Lastly was <Tormentor (Lvl 3)>. This went from level 1 to 3  and I think this went up because once I learned <Fire Magic (Lvl 1)>, I used the next elf as a test on getting used to using the skill while I roasted her. It was just that I forgot to kill her beforehand and her screams seemed to go in one ear and out the other.

Ruthless you say? Well, now that I think about it maybe I am, but who cares? She was going to die anyway right? I mean I did eat her. Anyway, enough of that let's talk about <Gluttony (Lvl 4)> for a little bit. Ever since I reached level 4 I stopped blacking out while I ate. So I have more control over myself when eating. I can stop eating at any time now. The funny thing is that I feel nothing even when I am devouring an elf who looks very similar to humans. Now would I be able to eat a human? This I do not know. Depends maybe? If it's for skills then more than likely I could.

But now that I am done here I guess it is time to move on. I gained a lot from this village and my level and stats skyrocketed.

I am quite satisfied. After making one more round around the orc village I left the way I came. I figured I would head back to the river and follow it for a bit. There are two reasons for this. One is that it might lead me out of this forest and the second is because the forest is a pain in the ass to walk through. At least the river has room to walk, without all the overgrowth getting in the way.

As I walked I decided it best to train my magic skills. Casting earth spells here, fire spells there. I think I might have lit parts of the forest on fire. But we will just ignore that. I spent a few days traveling down the river when the forest finally thinned out, opening up to a wide grassy plain. During this time I ran into many monsters and animals who all ended up as my food. But I found out that some skills I can not learn. Like the skill <Claw> I can not learn this because I do not have claws.

Because of this fact, if the skill needs a specific animal trait to use, I will not be able to learn it. So unfortunately I did not learn any new skills during the past few days. I didn't even gain a level since the things I killed were not really high level. Maybe around level 4 to 5.

What's this large thing on your back you ask? It's a bear monster of some kind. It has a large horn on its forehead. At first, when it charged at me with its huge body size, it scared me. I thought maybe I would die if I ever got hit by it. My fear quickly faded when I saw its level. You would not believe that this bear who is ten times the size of me was only level 7! Level 7! Can you believe that? And when it hit me it felt like I got hit by a puff of cotton. I am sure <Thick Skin (Lvl 5)> had a lot to do with that.

But anyway, I have a bigger problem now. Someone is walking towards me. They seem to be out walking their dog. I will just quietly lower my head and walk past them. If I do this right we will pass each other and have no reason to speak to each other.

*Slurp!* *Crunch!*

"Hmm? Puchi? Puchi where did you go!? Puchi!? Excuse me, Miss, have you seen my dog? She was attached to this leash here  but now she's gone..."
