Reincarnated as a chicken

Larm forest

Day 4

HISSS

Hearing a hissing noise, I jumped out of my sleep, both literally and figuratively. A huge white viper was standing out in front of me, sticking its tongue out from time to time.

'Um... rude much?' I slowly walked back, simply glaring at the snake. I tried to assert my dominance, which in my personal opinion was a very dumb move.

The snake snapped at me and I jumped out of the way, allowing it to hit the wall behind me. The whole place shook lightly and snake hissed in pain. I tried to run for the exit, but its tail came for me, sending me flying back.

Its mouth was already open in wait for my arrival. Did this snake think that I was going to be its breakfast? If yes, it was insane.

'[Adorable Wink]!'

I winked my hardest and the snake's mouth shut and it blinked several times, shaking its head. I hit its head and fell back on my back. For a second, I wanted to stay there for a while, but I remembered the massive snake in front of me and jumped up, trying to get out.

I was close to the exit, when I had a thought. I looked back at the snake and saw it still shaking its head, stunned. Its status also showed [Stunned] there, meaning it wouldn't be able to do anything for a while. Also, it was weaker than the white viper from the day before in terms of stats.

'What if I killed it? I'll be able to level up, right? And leveling up means I'll get stronger, right? Strong enough to the point I won't have to fight these things, right?'

I stopped in my tracks and glared at the snake again. It was still stunned. I would have gone for its guts, but I didn't want to accidentally get to its epox sac again, so I needed to finish this on the head.

Still, I doubted that even with my increase in stats I would have been able to do it, then I remembered getting something called stat points the day before.

'Agent, you got any idea what stat points are for?'

<<Information on the target. Stat Points. Not found in database>>

'Huh? Not found in database? I thought you knew everything about this world!'

<<Affirmative>>

'So tell me about the stat points!'

<<Error! Error! The target: Stat Points not found in database. Broadening search... Target not found>>

'W-what is this? So weird. Sa sa! That means I'll just have to try my luck then.'

After stressing myself, a screen popped up in front of me.

[Stat points are used for increasing your base stats, depending on your preference]

'Eh? Wait... what's this?'

"HIIISSSSSSS."

Before I could get any time to think to myself, the snake regained its consciousness.

'I guess that means I'll leave this for later. All stat points into strength!'

I poured all the 6 stat points I had been given into my strength, raising it to 21, then ran at the viper. It snarled and I used [Adorable Wink] again, stunning it. Luckily it wasn't so intelligent, so it didn't think to prepare a counter for this.

I jumped up, using my new 21 strength stat, I got real high and came down to drop. I activated [Peck] as I hit its head, but I simply bounced off, after causing some damage. The viper started waving its head in pain, squirming about like a worm.
