I looked behind me at the cave that had enough light thanks to the warm sunlight pouring in from a hole at the top, I carefully looked around and saw no creatures nearby so I left a bit further out to a pond nearby and used it to get a good look at myselfs reflection.
White furry body, furry paws, furry tail.. My body was so tiny, probably not even bigger than a palm. I looked really cute, far cuter than even a kitten. The most eye-catching feature was my Sapphire-like sparkling eyes, they were so beautiful that it almost mesmerized even myself.
They were a bit different from xues when she was in this position but instead of panicking or worrying like her I was having so much fun just looking at my adorable form.
So after doing that for a bit I drank some water from the small pound…
Growl…growl…growl…
My stomach started growling in hunger
'Wow i'm Really hungry I mean it makes sense since I haven't eaten since I reincarnated'
I was aware that now I was a beast I would need to hunt for my food to eat and I knew if I wasn't prepared I would end up dead before I got anything good and so I looked through the system to see any skills I could get to increase my odds of surviving.
I put 4 of my stat Points into Agility and the last into Strength so I could be fast to catch my pray and strength so I can deal more damage.
I focused my thoughts into bringing up my skill menu and it worked like a charm.
[Hide] SP cost: 1
[Dash] SP cost:1
[Jump] SP cost:1
[Climb] SP cost: 1
[Enhanced Sense of Smell Sp cost: 1
[Enhanced Sense of Hearing] SP cost: 1
[Enhanced Sight] SP cost: 1
[Greater Strength] SP cost: 1

[Greater Endurance] SP cost: 1
[Greater Flexibility] SP cost: 1
…
The list was truly staggering there seemed to be a skill for just about anything tho some where quite expensive even going into 10s of thousands of points but of course i'm broke so I chose from one of the lower tiers.
Of course I choose what the protagonists chose in the story [hide]
This allows me to ambush my prey but I can't move while using it or it would deactivate.
So I took a look at my current status and was happy to see i'm on the right track.

[Item: Level 1 Newbie Gift Package]
I almost forgot the gift package and opened it.
[Gained: Immortal World's Newbie Guide, 1x Double Exp Card(1 hour), 3x Recovery Pill, 1x Lucky Sticker, 1x Bronze Lottery Ticket, 1x Cultivation Voucher, 50 Deity Coins, Level 5 Novice Gift Package]
I was very happy that I got the same gift as xue but my stomach reminded me that I really needed to hunt something or I would starve to death.
Exploring the moonlight forest was definitely i task as it was huge and my tiny size made the grass and bushes hard to see over but it let me use my Hide skill to level it up so it can be used to get something better later.
[Hide skill has Leveled up to level 2]
I nodded happily seeing this and kept using it to level it up further.
By the time I found a some prey I leveled [Hide] to level 3.
It was a mouse…
I walked away as I refused to eat mice or rats unless I was almost starving to death.
I then found a huge snake but I'm not stupid picking a fight with something that could swallow me whole.
After using my [Hide] skill for hours to get away from the massive snake my [hide] skill leveled up to level 4 but i couldn't find anything that would be filling that wouldn't instantly kill me i started getting wozey and almost on the verge of eating some mice then I saw it…
A rabbit!
Well of course like xue found it was a hare bigger and stronger then a typical rabbit.
Me:'finally I can eat something that's not mice though it will be raw… but it's better then nothing.
Ding!
[Quest: (First Hunt) Kill a hare and eat it!)
[Reward: Level *1, Stat Point +1, Skill Point +1, 10 Deity Coins]
And there it was my first quest and a chance to become stronger but of course the hare noticed me like it did with xue due to the same limitations with the [hide] skill.
The major flaws was that i can't move or it would cancel and if someone or some beast got close enough it would break the skill by said individual and they could see me but once i upgradeit later those flaws would be no more so i decided to take the first strike.
[Scratch]!
I got a good strike in and a few strikes of crimson appears on it's body and it was not to pleased with this.
It kicked me with it's strong legs even tho I tried to dodge it still got hit a bit luckily my head wasn't injured.
I got another [Scratch] in on it's face almost getting it's eyes but my skill was to low to deal any real damage.
[Scratch has Leveled up to level 2]
This was perfect timing and I attacked again.
This time I got it's eyes blinding it and at that moment I knew this fight was as good as mine.
I land a [Bite] on it's neck causing it to push with blood and despite it trying to shake me off I held firm til it stopped moving and as soon as it did i felt proud.
Ding!
[Quest Completed!]
(Gained: Level +1, Stat Point +1, Skill Point +1, 10 Deity Coins]
Ding!

I smiled at the message feeling proud on the first quest I completed.
