[Ding! System Version 0.9]

'You aren't even at the 1st stage.' It said there was a System Upgrade maybe there is a way, I doubt anything I found so far can help, better ask.

"System, how can I help you upgrade to 1.0?"

[Ding! Unknown]

'Great, it seems now the system got lazier. Before at least it was polite with me the host! Bahh, not worth, not worth, let's keep rolling!'

...

During this time the rest of the world, the universe and time were working. A small deadly ball was moving through the forest but it seems it didn't go forward to exit the forest instead it was doing circles... The poor ball couldn't find his exit through the forest.

...

2 years passed by...

...

'Why can't I exit this stupid forest! Damn it, 2 years have passed. I can't even find the exit of the forest. It sucks' In my previous life I didn't even know how to read a map and I had a bad direction sense... guess that didn't change.

[Ding! Congratulations on killing a Normal Wolf +50 EXP.]

During this year I found several things about me and the system. The system evolved to 1.0 when I was 2 years old; I guess time made it evolve. My [Scan] function skill evolved to [Inspect], now it allows me to see more detailed information, the rabbit I killed was a Normal Beast 1st Rank. More or less with the help of the system found out how the beast rank worked on this forest. Normal Beast goes from 1st Rank to 3rd Rank and after that, there is the Wild Beast Rank which goes from rank 1st to 6th. After this, there is the King Beast which I only found the Black Wolf from before and it was at 1st rank.

I could be the King of the forest beside the Black Wolf Beast pretty much any beast that came across my path got killed by me through with my poison. After two years of killing beasts, I knew my speed while rolling; it equals to a 6th rank Wild Beast. I chased every beast I see to kill it and earn experience and Death Points. In fact, it doesn't matter if I kill a Normal Beast or a Wild Beast I only get 1 Death Point per kill. My Death Core also increases by 1 with each kill. Regarding the EXP ratio, I found out how many exp give me each rank. Normal beast gives me 10, 30, 50 EXP, Wild Beast gives me 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 EXP.

I tried to kill the Black Wolf, but it didn't end well... I couldn't fight it, I doubted I could call it a fight! I roll and crash against the enemy crashing against the beast's mouth so the poison spreads faster and the beast dies faster... but for the Black Wolf didn't work. Until now every time I crashed or a Normal or Wild Beast hit me, my Death Core integrity would always stay at Maximum, 100%. Facing the Black Wolf, its claws could damage me, each hit on my Core, took down 20% of Integrity. I could only sustain 5 hits at most... after that... permanent dead!

Yeah! I found out I can die though I'm already dead. The system explained that even though I'm a Death Core and my status is dead, I can cease to exist by getting my Death Core destroyed. I thought I was immortal... It left me only one option... roll at my fastest speed and escape from the Black Wolf...

I escaped, I thought it would relieve me, but it wasn't the case... after escaping my Death Core Integrity didn't recover and that's not all, with my integrity at 40%, I'm 60% weaker.

It was all clear, a Normal and Wild beast cannot damage my Death Core. The only problem now is that I cannot chase them. With my capabilities reduced to 40%, I can only chase and kill up to 3rd rank Wild Beast.

Even with everything that has happened, I was happy I still exist and I keep improving and killing.

I'm out of this damn forest! Oh, it seems there is a road nearby, cool, I will follow it. I must find dead bodies to rebuild my body. I really want to eat something, I haven't eaten or drank for about 3 years, it's not that I feel the need to eat or something it's just that I miss it.

I kept rolling as fast as I could, actually I never thought how weird it will be a ball rolling on a road, neither did I think what will happen if a human picked me up, I'm very poisonous, whoever picks me might die.

After a few days of rolling in the road, I had to stop and hide. I wanted to cry! Finally, I found something that wasn't a beast.
