New Talent (4)
“Haw!”
His mother Yuhwarin embraced him with a hearty smile.
For her, this winter’s achievement of successfully completing her first hunt was something she could be very proud of.
However, there is no way Winter could know such a fact.
Because he could only see the reality he was facing right now.
‘Su, I’m choking!’
[Arrr!]
Let’s show the discomfort of the winter that was held in Yu Hwa-rin’s arms.
Only then did she realize how much power she had given Yuhua Lin, startled at her, and released her hold of her power.
It became loose. I had room to breathe properly.
Only then did Winter gently fall into the arms of her Yuhua Lin.
He thought as he rubbed her face against her mother’s warm embrace.
‘If possible, please hold me tight like this, mother.’
He turned to his mother, who held him carefully, and tapped her front paw with such emotion.
His blunt and short paws organized Yuhwarin’s cozy embrace.
While holding her in her arms like that, the winter snow headed for the body of the dead rabbit over there.
As expected, there was no doubt that Yuhwarin’s fierce reaction was because she had done a good job hunting.
‘It must be a part of the growth process to awaken the hunting instinct of a pack of beasts, for example.’
Perhaps this kind of routine will continue to unfold in the future. That is, until winter grows.
It was then.
The ring.
‘Huh?’
Something floated before Winter’s eyes.
[Congratulations, ‘Winter’.]
[The talent shop window has been opened after the first killing of the monster ‘Horn Rabbit’.]
‘What is it? Characteristic?’
As I stared at the empty space in front of my eyes, a series of new messages came to my mind.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
[Speciality Shop: Purchased characteristics can be deleted at any time.]
[A new species trait is unlocked by hunting Horn Rabbits.]
[Horn Rabbit Extraction Characteristic ‘Fast Feet’: Greatly develops leg muscles.]
[When purchasing this ability, it will be applied immediately.]
Price 200 points.
[Horn Rabbit Extraction Characteristic ‘Hearing’: It is the ability to more keenly detect the surrounding sound. It detects food and detects enemies like a radar.]
Price 2000 points.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
From noble mtl dot com
[The current player ‘Winter’ has 200 points.]
[Characteristics can be applied through points.]
The message that popped up pointed to only one thing.
‘No way?’
In silence, I used the points that existed in him to make a purchase by clicking and clicking on the characteristics.
Then, the reaction started to come.
Suddenly, both legs began to tickle, and the flesh began to swell little by little.
‘What, what’s so itchy?’
Winter, who couldn’t stand the sensation, frantically scratched each other’s hind feet.
“How?”
However, it was not only winter that was witnessing the change.
Yuhwarin’s mother, who was holding him in her arms, was also there.
I questioned the change in the hind feet in winter when they started to grow out of nowhere.
She took Winter in her arms and blinked her eyes.
“Aww.”
His mother, Yuhua Lin, touched Winter’s toes and questioned her elongation.
Winter’s feet were growing little by little along with the tickle from before.
Continued even at this moment.
In the same form as the rabbit named Horn Rabbit, whom he had just killed.
“·······?”
She tilted her head as if something was wrong.
Cautiously, she lifted his hind legs, or sniffed them.
Georeum silently looked at the reaction of her mother Yuhwarin.
‘What is it? My mother’s reaction, as if she saw something she couldn’t see?’
A very puzzled expression.
It is as if they are facing a strange or unfamiliar sight that they have never seen before.
Then I suddenly had an idea.
Maybe this isn’t a change that happened to the entire pack.
It may have been a reaction that only happened to him in winter.
This unfamiliar response from her put more weight on that side.
‘Maybe it’s not wrong. I haven’t heard of any monsters that can prey on the characteristics of other races like this.’
Before the world was destroyed.
The era in which winter lived was a world where hunters dominated.
An age when they hunted monsters and collected their by-products.
But despite such a society.
Even when society was normal at the time, Winter did not hear that there was an entity that took away the abilities of other monsters.
‘So this is a change that only applies to me.’
It’s a simple assumption.
Nevertheless, perhaps a circumstantial assumption called certainty.
While thoughts are connected one after another.
The change of winter has finally come to an end.
When the strange feeling that tickled my feet stopped and my feet became a little longer than before.
After looking down at my hind feet for a while, Winter murmured inwardly.
‘Status window.’
With his whisper, a translucent window appeared before my eyes.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
[Status Window]

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
His idea was right.
As expected, the change was related to the characteristics.
Winter’s assumption was firmly established.
* * * *
The two sisters in winter began to eat the flesh of the fallen rabbit.
The usual cute but big-eyed girl’s face, covered in her blood.
It looked bizarre enough just from the outside, but it looked even more bizarre when you actually heard the sound.
“·······.”
On the other hand.
Winter showed no action.
I just blinked my eyes and watched the predation of my two sisters.
Yuhwa-rin’s behavior in such a winter seemed to her to be rather undesirable in her eyes.
She gently shoved him on the back, guiding him in the direction of his sisters who were eating rabbits.
‘Maybe me too? Do I want to share that rabbit with you?’
“Ha-ung.”
She, her mother Yuhua Lin, urges her over and over again.
Now it is winter when she can internally grasp the intentions of her mother, Yuhua Lin, just by looking at her eyes.
Because he was that kind of person, he couldn’t help but understand what her smile meant when her eyes met.
Winter hesitantly approached cautiously and snuck into the gap between his sisters.
At his approach, the two sisters sneaked out of their seats.
Sit on the bare floor with a soft body that has not yet been trimmed properly.
Winter also started to pluck rabbit meat.
Crackle. Ugh.
The noise of flesh being torn is crueler than expected.
But within.
‘Oh, um. Unexpectedly… It’s worth eating.’
Unexpectedly, it didn’t have the fishy taste unique to the animal that I was expecting.
Rather than that, it was closer to the feeling of eating fresh sashimi with plenty of gravy.
He felt something strange tickle his tongue there.
‘Hmm. I don’t know what flavor it is. Anyway, I’m a little disappointed.’
The winter that timidly timidly ate a piece.
I soon licked my lips with regret.
So then I ate a slightly larger piece.
He swallowed even that quickly and swallowed the larger pieces down his throat.
It is surprisingly delicious.
Maybe a little too much.
Then I felt a gaze from the side, so I glanced around,
Her mother, Yuhua Lin, could be seen staring at him with her hearty smile.
[Arrr.]
He made a light voice with the meaning that winter is delicious.
I don’t know if it was conveyed properly. I’m just thinking that I want it to be conveyed.
Are you even able to understand his answer?
She smiled brightly and lightly stroked Winter’s hair.
Your touch is warm.
While he was frantically eating flesh with his sisters.
Quickly, the rabbit meat exposed only the bones.
The rabbit meat that the three of us shared was less than we thought.
I savored the winter while chewing on the remaining meat in my mouth.
Maybe it is.
It must have been that he ate so hard that even he didn’t realize it.
* * * *
When there are still three or four more hours before the sun goes down.
Yuhwarin, the mother of Winter and her sisters, was away again.
‘Where are you going?’
A different look than usual.
Winter blinked and stared out the crypt, looking at her mother’s back.
After the usual Yuhua Lin returned to her nest, she never stepped out again.
But today was a little different.
It’s because he went out again after hunting rabbits and was scared to see Winter and his sisters filling their stomachs.
“Kyaawoon!”
“Miu Miu!”
But his two sisters, Yui and Yumi, seemed uninterested in the absence of her mother, Yuhua Lin.
Because her mess was rolling around in her nest.
Her play with her body became more and more intense. Now they have become a group and even quarrel with each other.
Georeum had been watching his sisters play for a while.
I got up from my seat and started walking slowly.
And soon, after a while, he began to notice changes in his body.
‘Oh, oh oh?’
Where did the usual slow and uncomfortable gait go?
I instinctively realized that his movements were much more stable and his posture was set.
I walked much faster.
In addition, the two hind feet, which were firmly elongated, touched the ground.
