Hmm… I see.
Every time I level up, I get a boost to my base stats. The boost was only one in all stats, except for stamina, which increased by two.
The reason is probably because of the phenomenon where the stat you train the most ends up increasing more than others.
Considering I ran from a horde of spiders and fought to the point of exhaustion, it was obvious that my stamina was bound to increase further.
The effects of the stats are clearly visible.
My body feels much lighter, my arms muscles start to grow a bit, surprisely, I even grow a bit in height and body length.
I don't look like a newborn lizard anymore, but I am still far from being an adult.
The only thing remain to do is to allocate my stats
Magic stat isn't particularly needed when your tier is still low, as you depend more on your physical body.
I can also increase my magic with absorption, so I will choose other stats.
Hmm…
After thinking for a while, I decided to increase my constitution by one and endurance by two.
I can heal myself by absorbing the enemy life force, so as long as I am not killed in a single blow, by raising my constitution I can survive by healing.
Stamina is essential in the early stage. I need to survive in prolonged battle, and If I increase my endurance, I can also hunt for a longer time to level up faster.

I don't feel myself stronger, but my scales look rougher, and my breathing is more stable.
Alright.
Time to continue my hunt.
Meanwhile, a group of exhausted lizards are hiding in a nearby cave, their numbers much smaller than they originally were.
In the center, a white lizard appears particularly sad; even when they try to talk to her, she simply doesn't respond.
Just as they begin to let their guard down, they hear a high pitched, ominous sound all around them, startling them and putting everyone on high alert.
[You have killed tier 0 white rabbit.]
[You have absorbed the target vital essence, experience awarded.]
[You have absorbed the target magic power, magic stat increases by 0,1.]
[Attempting to absorb the target traits… attempt failed.]
After killing the first one, I was able to find another rabbit, which probably was the mate.
I decided to look around a bit more before returning to the nest.
Finding prey at night is difficult. Most animals, when they go to sleep, go into hiding, making it difficult to find them. The only ones who aren't hiding are the strong predators, they don't need to hide thanks to their overwhelming strength.
Just as I begin to give up, I hear a hissing sound behind me. I carefully turn around, and I catch a glimpse of a snake in the distance.
A green snake lies in the grass, its slender body tense and its eyes alert. Its skin blends with the leaves as it patiently crawls toward me.
Luckily, he didn't notice that I had seen him. He must be thinking I'm a normal lizard, just like the many it probably hunts.
I can beat him. A lizard would normally be just prey for a snake, but I have the intelligence of a humanoid, and if I use my skills correctly, I should be able to win.
I stand still, making him think I ignore his existence, while I concentrate my mind on creating runes on my claws.
The snake approached me from behind. Then, suddenly, he sprints and he tries to bite and strangle me with his body.
I avoid his attack, but because of my low agility, I can only partially avoid his attack.
However, I take advantage of the situation and strike the enemy with a claw attack, much more powerful than the ones used previously.
[You have successfully created a rune model for the first time: you obtain 5 bonus points.]
[You have learned the basic rune skill: Claw Strike.]
I hit straight in the enemy's face, blinding both of his eyes; however, I wasn't strong enough to pierce the brain.
Unexpectedly, the snake, starting to scream in pain, began to attack blindly in all directions, biting me with a powerful biting ability.
“damn, that hurt”
I unleash black mist to consume the enemy to heal my wounds, while continuously using my claw to kill it.
Only after my magic power drops to half of it, I see a message which makes me stop.
[You have killed tier 0 forest snake.]
[You have absorbed the target vital essence, experience awarded.]
[You have level up to level 2, bonus points granted.]
[You have absorbed the target magic power, magic stat increases by 0,2.]
[Attempting to absorb the target traits… success. Traits successfully integrated.]
[You have learned the basic rune skill: Quick Bite.]
[You have unlocked the second effect of the rune of fate skill.]
Wow.
The sight of all the messages left me stunned, but I quickly decided to proceed in order from the top, so I would not miss something.
Let's start by allocating my bonus points first. I even got five more than normal.
The snake bite was painful, but he didn't do much damage thanks to my scales and constitution. The healing effects of greed have already let me return as good as new.
In the recent battle, I noticed the problem caused by my lack of speed. My current defence can help me protect from most enemies on the same rank, but having more speed can help me dodge dangerous attacks and strengthen my reflex.
Magic should also be increased a bit for using my skills better.
??????????
Strength:4 [+1,+1]
Speed: 7 [+1,+3]
Constitution: 7 [+2,+1]
Endurance: 7 [+1,+1]
Magical power: 5.6 [+1,+2]
Bonus points: 0 [-8]
??????????
Raising all my stats at once causes my body to burn from overwhelming energy, making me feel uncomfortable and in slight pain.
I should not raise too many stats at the same moment, next time.
Now, only the most important things to see remain.
The skills.
