[Day 28]
Ugh.
I had a weird nightmare again.
And it gets worst and worst.
Really, it makes me go insane.The mass of black ooze going everywhere, trying to devour and parasitize me…
And it always ends when it gets inside my mouth.
Uagh.
Why am I dreaming this?
It feels as if I have been cursed by some Elder God of Lovecraftian Mythos.
Truly the worst of the worst.
But when I woke up everything is mildly fine.Yesterday we ate a lot of rabbit and fruit with Yuki, and we went to take a nap in a hole I made.
She's so fluffy and warm that it really feels nice to sleep with her.
She's the perfect cushion!
Eh? Am I using my monster pet as a cushion?
Why yes.
Hey, it's not like she's weak or something, she'll soon reach Peak Stage with me.
Maybe.
I am still at almost the end of Peak Stage, but I need some stimulus to reach Rank 2.
Like eating another Rat-Gorilla… maybe.
But nothing, they seem to be very rare, so we haven't encountered anything.
At most, we fought an Ice Wolf Leader, which is the Middle Stage.
But I need like a dozen of these guys to make any difference to my cultivation!
Truly, the worst of the worst.
Well, no rush, right?
It hasn't even been a month yet in my first life, no need to rush.
I am progressively growing stronger at a good pace, no need to rush things and become OP too fast.
Because things get boring when the main characters become OP too fast in stories, challenges are always good to bring some fun.
To be honest, I despise slow life-type of novels, I like more action or at least a mix of the two.
But if it is just a guy being overpowered and doing super boring stuff, then I wouldn't really care.
Authors really gotta find better ways to make slice-of-life novels entertaining than just some stupid harem collecting idiocy…
And yeah, don't let me get started with a farming slice of life novels… Ugh, there's like… 10923107481 of them.
Why am I even speaking all of this? I am bored.
Anyways, although I criticize such novels a lot, I have realized that it is exactly what I want…
A slow life without any problems to worry about…
But just a few days ago I almost got killed… and the days before too, and the days before… and the days before and- Okay, I understand, I have been almost killed several times already.
Ad this damn forest is really like a labyrinth because we keep advancing straight and there's just never an end.
I am eating a few pears as I walk through the snow once more.
Well, if there are not going to be any life-threatening situations, it would be an okay slow life of just traveling through ice and eating whatever I can pick up…
But yeah, I am fearing that this might not be the real genre of my life, so I will probably face a life and death situation whenever I finally lower my guard.
However, before that, we found a large frozen lake.
It was big, and it made us stop.
I had considered walking over it, but I realized that there might be gators inside, so we better surround it to keep going.
And as we surround it, gators emerge, rushing towards us.
Huh, they're not affected by my Fear-Inducing Aura or what?
The gators resemble… well, alligators.
But their scales are like metallic blue plates, and they even got large crystals growing over their bodies to boot, much like me, a little bit.
Their jaws are enormous, and I feel like they could easily eat a whole human.
Yuki, however, is fearless and confronts them rather boldly.
Oi, you're going to get killed there!
She rolls over the snow and hits one head-on, and then she penetrates their armor-like scales with her poisoned claws.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
"GRAAAAAHH…!"
The gator groans in pain and falls over… it is struggling a bit and then stops moving.
Yikes, Yuki's poison is deadly.
As she deals with another two Gators, three rush towards me.
Huh, so you have chosen death.
Very well then, death it is!
I glance at the three pathetic beasts before me as my eyes glow eerily, I unleash my aura of fear but they barely flinch.
Huh, quite the bold guys.
For you, I don't even need to use magic!
I raise my claws and enhance them with Mana.
Well, that doesn't count as magic!
SLASH!
With a single swipe, my claw rushes towards the nearest gator, as I crush its head with them.
Crack, crack!
I hear the sound of the gator's skull breaking apart, it feels a bit… weird.
The gator's skull breaks apart as brain and blood come out, its eyes fly into the air, and my claw is covered in guts.
Oof, remember when I was scared of these guys? Now, look where I went, heh.
I guess I am really experiencing what's being a… overpowered protagonist.
Okay, let's not get cocky over it.
The other two Gates try to bite my legs, but they can't even make me flinch.
Their jaws are strong, I give you that.
But they can't even fathom penetrating my armor-like scales.
See? This is the difference between you guys and a dragon!
But they don't listen.
Fools.
I raise my claws and slash their heads off with utmost ease.
Easy pickings.
I glance at Yuki as she began to jump over the corpses of the gators she poisoned.
That's my pet!
However, before I could even try to taste the meat of these Gators, a loud roar came from the lake.
The entire lake exploded and shattered into pieces, as a giant gator, of around 6 meters tall emerged, opening its enormous jaws at us.
It had two beautiful files of the razor-sharp tooth, and it could easily eat me whole.
Whew.
And it is Peak Stage too.
