Chapter 8: 8-Second Level Up
In a Burrow recently conquered by a Small White Snake. The Burrow was quite Big even though the Former Owners of the Burrow were Small. The Burrow's Entrance was hidden behind a Bush that covered the Entrance perfectly. The Entranced can be found if the creature was finding it specifically. Right Next to the Bush that covered the entranced was the patch of Clear Land.
After the Burrow's Entrance was the Main Tunnel heading towards the Burrow's Hall, The Main Tunnel of the Burrow connected itself with many Tunnels, but it was mainly towards the Hall. The Hall was quite Big. It was where the Snake found the owners and ate them. The Burrow Hall had a Small Hole opening in the ceiling that leads to the surface hence the Sunlight piercing the surface giving light to the Hall.
Within the Hall of the Burrow was the Small White Snake peacefully sleeping. The Hall was full of moss, and the water dripping echoed in this Hall. The Snake was in the middle of the Hall that projected light. Around her was the dimming light until it reaches the darkness. A Cool Breeze also was felt within this Hall. The Burrow was like a Small Castle.
The Small White Snake was in its sleeping position. It was also Bigger than before, signifying that the Snake grew. There was also a Snakeskin right next to the Snake. The Snake began moving its tail as its consciousness had the sign of awakening. The Snake rose its head from the ground while being tipsy and looked around the Burrow it conquered.
'That was a good slumber.' Persia thought to herself. She gathered her consciousness and her head slowly stopped being tipsy. The Burrow was quite relaxing as the breeze and light made it more comfortable. It was a Good Place to Live, which made Persia feel lucky in finding it. As she woke up with clear thought, Persia noticed something strange.
'I'm bigger than before?' Persia thought as she looked at her body. It was not noticeable, but she clearly grew bigger. As Persia stared at her body, She noticed the notifications. It seems that something happens during her slumber. Although she already guesses a part of it. Persia was curious about the Notifications, so she began reading the notifications in the window.
'Hmm... I Leveled Up.' Persia nodded in understanding after she read the notifications. She found out that she leveled up, but she already managed to guess it. Although guessing it didn't stop her from reading the notification. She leveled up, so her Points probably replenished themselves.
'I finally have the points to increase my abilities.' Persia stretched her body in excitement as she rolled around the uneven ground of the Hall. She could finally increase her attributes. Persia wanted to Increase her Skill Levels, but she also needed her Attributes to be Stronger. Even if she had Stronger skills. The Attributes were the Origin of the Skills. It would mean that even if her Skill was Stronger. It won't be effective with Low attributes.
'Anyway, I am curious at how my Attributes worked.' Persia thought to herself as she wanted to know the inner workings of the Attributes. She only had an image of how it would work, but it would only be an image without proof. Persia opened her Status and stared at it.

'My Attributes just doubled. Does this means that It would double every time I leveled up?' Persia thought to herself. She began thinking about this, but she shook her head as she was sure that it wasn't like that. She looked back at the Attributes and realized what it was.
'The Wisdom wasn't affected, which means it isn't doubling on each level up. From my Experience from past Level Up. The Increased of attributes went from 1 and 2. The next possibility is 3 or 4.' Persia was getting more confused. She shook her head and began thinking about how to use her Points.
'On what attribute do I put my Points? I need to focus on one attribute as spreading them out will weaken me.' Persia thought while staring at the attributes. The attributes where she could put her Points were Physique, Dexterity, Intellect, Persona, and Instinct. Another thought then passed through her mind.
'Testing my Attributes would mean that I need to waste my 5 Points. But I should not call it a waste since I gain something from it.' Persia shook her head. She then allocated her 5 Points to Physique, Dexterity, Intellect, Persona, and Instinct. Each of them had One point Allocated. She waited for a while, and notifications began ringing deep within her mind. Persia then looked at the Notifications.
[1 Point allocated to Physique...]
[1 Point in Physique converted into 3 Strength, 5 Vitality, and 2 Defense.]
[Strength: 4->7]-[Vitality: 6->11]-[Defense: 4->6]
'Physique is connected to Strength, Vitality, and Defense. It is affecting 3 of my attributes.' Persia nodded in understanding while staring at the notification. Her Strength was her power, Vitality was her Health and Stamina, And Defense was her Defensive Stat. There were multiple meanings, but this was the direct and simplest one.
[1 Point allocated to Dexterity...]
[1 Point in Dexterity converted into 5 Agility, 3 Speed, and 2 Coordination.]
[Agility: 4->9]-[Speed: 4->7]-[Coordination: 4->6]
'The Dexterity is connected to my Agility, Speed, and Coordination. It seems that I found the one I needed.' Persia thought to herself. Agility was her Mobility, while Speed affected her Hunting and Escaping chances. She also needed Coordination to control her body skillfully.
[1 Point allocated to Intellect...]
[1 Point in Intellect converted into 7 Intelligence and 3 Wisdom.]
[Wisdom: 13->16]-[Intelligence: 100->107]
'My Wisdom is small... I forgot about that' Persia was disappointed at her Wisdom, but she knew that she didn't have experienced in anything. She spent the end of her life in a hospital room. With this in mind, She was curious about her brother. She wanted him to have the best life even though she was in the middle of the Jungle.
[1 Point allocated to Persona...]
[1 Point in Persona converted into 6 Perception and 4 Charisma.]
[Charisma: 4->8]-[Perception: 4->10]
'Good' Persia nodded in satisfaction. She continued reading the notifications to check the last attribute. Charisma would make her more social and gorgeous towards creatures or people alike. Perception would help her judgment of people and animals.
[1 Point allocated to Instinct...]
[1 Point in Instinct converted into 5 Senses and 5 Stealth.]
[Senses: 4->9]-[Stealth: 100->105]
'I do wonder that would happen if the attributes go over a hundred.' Persia thought to herself. She was curious if she could gain a Skill from going over a hundred in attributes. Well, the only thing she needed to do was to continue reading the notifications.
[For passing the hundred Threshold in Intelligence.]
[You have gained a Skill, Inferior Accelerated Thought Process.]
[Skill Description: The User can process Information at incredible speeds. Allowing the User to Analyze and come to Conclusions at an unprecedented rate. The User could also perceive everything at a faster time frame. Which would make everything slower for the User.]
[Skill Status: Weak.]
[For passing the hundred Threshold in Stealth.]
[You have gained a Skill, Inferior Camouflage.]
[Skill Description: The User can visually blend into surroundings by blending in with the coloration and form of the User's background to avoid optical perception. Be warned that with the Current Status of the Skill. Heat Sensor Camouflage is not possible, and Presence Disperse is also impossible. (But can be gained with Skill evolved)]
[Skill Status: Weak]
'So this is how my attributes work...' Persia thought to herself while staring at the notifications. It seems that she could easily increase her attributes without any problems. She could even gain skills from attributes which was a good thing. While thinking about the attributes, Persia's attention was on the Skills she gained.
'Camouflage and Accelerated Thought Process?' Persia was curious about what these skills can do. Although she had a good idea of what it was from the descriptions. It was better for Persia to test it. Persia shook her snakehead after seeing the skills, and she noticed how strong she had become even though she was still a small snake.
'Won't I become stronger than normal? Is this the reason why I'm an Irregular Snake?' Persia thought that the name Irregular Snake had a meaning. She also thought that Irregular Snake was the reason for the strange Status in her body. She wasn't an ordinary snake with abnormal skills and attributes. Hence the Irregular Snake.
'Anyway, now that I'm done with my testing. It's time to choose my Focus Attribute.' Persia investigated each attribute. All of them had their advantage and disadvantage. But Persia needed on attribute to focus on her current situation. She wanted to escape and hunt creatures in the forest.
'Physique is good but not good. Intellect is useless for now. Instinct is good, but I need to face my enemies. Charisma? I don't know what to do about it. Let's try Dexterity for now.' Persia chose Dexterity as it had everything she needed. The Agility, Speed, and Coordination. It was what she needed as Persia had no plans on fighting bigger animals or stronger ones.
'Let's choose Dexterity.' Persia nodded and allocated the remaining 5 Points to Dexterity.
[5 Points allocated to Dexterity...]
[5 Points in Dexterity converted into 25 Agility, 15 Speed, and 10 Coordination.]
[Agility: 9->34]-[Speed: 7->22]-[Coordination: 6->16]
'My Body feels strange.' Persia thought to herself. It was like her body was relaxing, although she didn't want to relax. She didn't want to be hit by a good feeling as she might feel addicted to it. Persia was proud of her self-control, although it failed her many times. There was only one feeling she felt.
'I want to move my body.' Persia stretched her body and noticed that her body was too energetic. She couldn't help but release a satisfied smile in her head. She was happy with her choice. She was now faster than a Normal Snake. She has no problem hunting small creatures or escaping predators, but she would have a problem if a predator focus on speed Hunts her.
'I'll take a look at my Status one last time.'

'It's time for my next hunt to start.' Persia thought to herself as her body slithered towards the Burrow's entrance. It was time for Persia to leave the Burrow and hunt prey in the forest. As she exited the Forest, Persia's Third Hunt began.
