'Ding'
[ Affirmative, the system can suppress the aura but the system advices the host to develop a skill to suppress the aura by himself with continuous practice ]
"Hmm..."
That was rather interesting. The system advised Shin something which would without a doubt would be much more beneficial that what he had initially thought.
"Alright!"
"Let's give it a shot!"
Shin then closed his eyes and tried to feel his own aura which had been liberating on a large scale.
"..."
"Argh, it's so difficult!", he opened his eyes in just 2 minutes after he had closed.
"Let's try once again!"
He closed his eyes again and then concentrated on his own body.
'Lub Dub'
'Lub Dub'
He was clearly able to hear his own heart beat. Everything around him was quite calm.
It was as if he was finally relaxed. It was so comfortable that he didn't wanted to stop concentrating his mind.
'Huh...? What's that?'
Suddenly, a large white flame appeared in front of him. He was actually seeing that with his inner eyes since his actual eyes were closed.
The flame was emitting a bright radiance which was making him difficult to keep his inner eyes opened, but he didn't falter and persisted despite this obstacle or whatever it was.
The flame was gigantic when it appeared, but as the time passed it started to look small.
'What's happening?', Shin failed to understand the situation he was in.
The flame was getting smaller and smaller and soon it felt as if it had become as tiny as an ant. But when Shin carefully looked at his own limbs and the surrounding, he could clearly tell that it wasn't the flame that had become small, it was he who become large!
His surrounding was filled with other types of lights such as green lights and violet lights. Since their position remained unchanged, Shin could easily tell that it was him who was continuously growing.
But that growth too came to an end and he ended up opening his eyes right when a system notification broke his concentration.
'Ding'
[ You have gained the passive skill Aura Control Lv.1 ]
[ Your aura will be hidden forever unless and until the skill Aura Control gets deactivated under excess rage ]
[ Your agility will increase by +1 when the skill gets deactivated ]
Shin smiled and when took a look at himself via the reflection in the stream, he could no longer see his aura.
He thought that this was a great achievement that he had got because now he could hunt easily.
He was quite happy by seeing his progress, but there was one thing which still suffocated him.
"Why the heck am I still small despite the fact that I evolved!?", he asked himself.
'Ding'
[ The hybrid Evolution is unpredictable and since the host has undergone hybridization, some traits were left behind ]
[ From next evolution there would be increase in size depending on the host's choices ]
And Shin couldn't talk back to the system.
His stomach started to grumble now since he had been hungry for a while now.
He wanted to eat the fishes that could appear near the stream whose possibility was minimum, but it seemed like the system had plans of it's own.
'Ding'
[ Mission 0C4 ]
[ Hunt a Mariorack Deer ]
"Ha? Mario... what?", Shin failed to pronounce that but he understood that he had to hunt a deer now.
It wasn't that bad of an offer that was given by the system, but Shin could easily tell that something was fishy.
First of all there was a weird code beside the word 'Mission'. The next thing was that till now Shin hadn't encountered a single herbivore.
He could make out from the missions that the system was making Shin move towards the interior of the forest.
It is quite a common knowledge that Carnivores are mainly found in the center or interior of the forest. That would be the same for herbivores too, but considering Deer most of them would lie around the edge's of the forest or the areas where Water supply would be present along with abundant grasses!
"Oh well, I guess I should hunt something to eat anyway!"
Shin was about to run to search the deer when all of a sudden another notification popped up.
'Ding'
[ Would you like to use 'Navigation'? ]
[ Y/N ]
"Huh...?"
"Huhhhh!?"
"There is a feature of navigating where the prey is!?", Shin was shocked when he saw that.
*gulp*
He recalled the fact that all this time he had been lucky in finding his preys. Or to be more precise, the system gave the tasks of the preys that were nearby.
But now that it gave the info about the deer which are rather present in far away places, it also provided a feature of navigation.
Of course, it would have been way difficult for Shin to hunt in such a large forest just blindly.
"Cool! Why didn't you tell me about such a feature?", Shin asked.
Shin was pouting and was a bit angry of the system.
[ Navigation can only be used if the prey is at a range of 10-20 miles ]
"..."
And the system gave out a satisfying answer which left Shin speechless.
"Sigh, alright then! Let's go hunting!"
"Start navigation."
[ Navigating... ]
[ Searching Mariorack Deer... ]
'Ding'
[ 6 Mariorack Deer found. ]
[ Distance: 18 miles ]
[ Direction: Due North ]
A compass was shown which was possible the feature of the system as well. It depicted the north direction so it wasn't a problem that could confuse Shin.
"Alright then! Let's go!", he shouted and then ran with all his might towards the prey.
It was quite a normal thing for him, he had been hunting monsters and beasts till now to satisfy his hunger and now too he would hunt in a similar fashion.
This hunt didn't have any special significance for him other than satisfying his stomach and tongue, but little did he know that the fateful encounter that had to happen eventually, would take place now during this hunt, and probably that was what the system was aiming for!
