It's been a while since I last walked freely with no trees in the way.

Not that I have a claustrophobic or any of the sort, though.

Presently, using my monster instincts, I can sense such perilous conduct.

However, I'll often do it even if I know it's dangerous.

Nothing to laugh about.

Really have to better my self-awareness.

The Forest seems to be in the middle of some mountains between, but when I'am inside the forest there is not a single mountain on my field of vision when I'am at the top the tree.

The entrance lay at the base of what you could call a small valley or a big U shape slope between the huge mountain.

Regardless of description, it's the only place from which you can enter the forest.

The forest is dim in comparison to the outsideworld, kinda like the forest is a different dimension.

Has that magic circle feel to it.

"A wise woman keeps away from danger", as they say.

And so, I quickly left that place behind.

Since the moment I left the forest, some time had passed.

The sun has begun to dip towards the horizon.

Seems like I left the forest exactly at noon.

You'd be surprised how much I want to align my biological clock with the sun.

The moment I thought that, it naturally changed.

Was it really so simple...?

Right now, it's 4 o'clock in the evening.

It's time for dinner, but sadly I'am not that hungry anymore for every few half an half hour.

I could eat, but since I don't feel anything, it's pretty wasteful.

With thoughts of food, I remembered.

The Apple that I ate in the Forest.

Lead me to this situation if younthink about it.

With that I got my hands on new powers, I have yet to put them to use.

Black serpent (Toxic Breath)

Centipede monster (Touch of Paralysis)

Big spider (Sticky Thread, Steel Thread)

Vampire Bat (Vampirism, Ultrasound Waves)

Carapace Lizard (Body Armor)

The Vampire bat's (Vampirism), for example, I can't use at all.

Honestly, when the Carapace Lizard appeared, I had used it.

And as a result...

As if it weren't armored at all!

The lust of blood in my human form just pierce through the armor and suck every blood out of it with no drop wasted.

An extremely gruesome sight. Even remembering makes me want to puke.

And that's why I avoid it.

If, let's say, adventurers had chanced upon this bat, they'd probably be annihilated before they could even cast a spell.

Hmm? If I were bit by it?

I hadn't given it any thought, nor do I want to.

Let's just say, thank goodness I shot first!
