Chapter 15 - Level up? What???
No way...
I used to do that daydreaming thing in my old life, where I would just get lost in my thoughts while walking on the street, effectively ceasing to even notice the world around me, sometimes for hours.
I would never have thought that that habit would follow me here in a wasteland filled with monsters.
This might cost me my life someday if I don’t get over it.
I snap back to reality the moment I hear a low growl, freezing on the spot. Still a bit far away from me, I can see a big thing exactly in the direction I was going.
Yay! (sad)
It looks like an overgrown hyena, around three times bigger than the ones I saw yesterday, with a mandible that could fit my whole head inside. Its fur has shades of greenish-brown, as well as black and yellow.
But the eyes... those bright red eyes have a tint of malice and hunger. And they are already trained on me, as it starts slowly walking in my direction.
Thanks to Mimby, I know that they are called maracay and are smarter than hyenas but don’t have good eyesight. I might be able to fool them using the right approach, but they have a good sense of smell, so I won’t be able to avoid a confrontation.
I quickly cast the strengthening aria and prepare myself.
