I've also noticed that my body has grown from being extremely small to now being the size of a adult wolf
"It seems that when I level up not only stats but my size increases as well"
As I was walking around I saw a group of 3 wolves, There was a black wolf a grey wolf and a red wolf. I didn't think much of them until I heard the howling
As I looked in their direction the howling stopped
The howling had been so loud it was like a siren and it echoed in the air
Then there emerged a full pack of wolfs, it looked like there was 30 or so wolfs in that pack, they all were running to the west.
"The hell? A full pack of wolves?"
The wolfs were running through the forest, the plain grass was high so you could only see the tips of their ears.
The wolf that was at the front of the pact leapt at me bearing its teeth at me like I was food to be served on a platter
[Quest: Kill 30 Eternano wolfs]
[-Reward exp +500] [+ Random skill]
focusing on the heat inside me, willing it to come forth and become real, and then, I unleashed a burst of flames, a jet of white blazing Flames.
[You have used the skill Flame breath]
[MP 50/70]
Black Smoke filled the air making a fog with a tinge of flames reappearing every so often it had the smell of charcoal. Leaving the area filled with the smell of charcoal and a crator 5 meters deep well making a pitch black fog that looked like it came from a steam engine that was pulling a train.
As I walked into the fog I heard the sounds of wolfs crying in pain and the sound of flesh sizzling.
[Ding]
[You have killed 2 Eternano Wolfs]
2/30
As I could hear screams of extreme pain through the smoke
As the Fog started to clear I could see the dead charred bodies of 2 wolfs. The grass and bush still burning and smoking as the fire burned out.
The wolfs were the size of a big dog, had short, dark, brownish fur and a long bushy tail, it had a yellow and red tinted eyes, its tongue was out and its jaws were open wide, and its eyes were staring lifelessly in the direction I was in.
The 2 Wolf's fur had turned a black color and had started to crisp at the end, their bodies were riddled with burns. The skin that wasn't burned had been turned a dark brown color, while their teeth had been turned a charcoal color, the insides of the wolves had been cooked and looked to have exploded.
As I turned to the other wolfs the black wolf was charging at me, his eyes filled with a red with a red hue coming off of him.
I jumped up into the air to dodge the charge, and in the process clawed his back with my tail. With a coating it with my white Blazing Flames as the flames flared brighter,
[You have used the skill: Scorching Touch]
With flames coating his body causing serious damage
The wolf let out a whimper and slowed down,
The Wolf let out a soft whimper, before charging at me again, as I tried to dodge the charge the wolf's fangs sank into my front right leg.
"Argh"
As I came down from my jump I had to duck as the black wolf had just missed biting me, then he had his mouth open and the grey wolf was using his head as a spring board jumping off it towards me
focusing on the heat inside me, willing it to come forth and become real, and then, I unleashed a burst of flames, a jet of white blazing Flames.
Black Smoke filled the air making a fog with a tinge of flames reappearing every so often it had the smell of charcoal.Leaving the area filled with the smell of charcoal and a creator of 5meters deep
As I walked into the fog and I heard the sounds of wolfs crying in pain and the sound of flesh sizzling.
I walked out of the fog, with a small grin on my face, the smell of charcoal wafting off me as the smoke cleared revealing the charred and burned corpses of 2 wolves, the grass and bushes around the corpse were still on fire.
As the Fog started to clear I could see the dead charred bodies of 2 wolfs. The grass and bush still burning and smoking as the fire burned out.
The wolfs were the size of a big dog, had short, dark, brownish fur and a long bushy tail, it had a yellow and red tinted eyes, its tongue was out and its jaws were open wide, and its eyes were staring lifelessly in the direction I was in.
The 2 Wolf's fur had turned a black color and had started to crisp at the end, their bodies were riddled with burns.

I jumped up into the air to dodge the charge, and in the process clawed his back with my tail. With a coating it with my White Blazing Flames as the flames flared brighter, and brighter each second
[You have used the skill: Scorching Touch]
The Wolf let out a whimper and slowed down,
With flames coating the wolf's body causing serious damage.The white blazing flames spread over the black wolf's back and soon it covered him from head to toe.
[You have used The Skill: Sprint]
With the new burst of speed, I flew towards him and bit into his neck. I twisted and threw him across the clearing, send him 5ft from where we orignally were his body bounced twice and he came to a stop at the foot of a tree.
I heard a crunch from behind me and before I could react a wolf jumped out from behind me and bit into my tail.
I could feel its sharp fangs dig into my skin as it thrashed its head back and forth. The white flames covering my tail spread onto the wolf's mouth, the wolf released my tail as his jaw was seared from the inside.
[You have used the Skill: Scorching touch]
[MP 30/500]
A white flame shot out and covered the wolf's entire body The wolf let out a howl of pain as the flames coated him.
I saw the other wolf getting up and charging toward me, I jumped up into the air dodging him.
I was about to hit the ground when the wolf tackled me, sending me crashing into the tree.
The air was pushed out of my lungs as I collided with the tree, the impact left a crater around 1 meter in diameter.The wolf dug its claws into my side and dragged me a couple feet before it let go.
I pushed myself up, a little wobbly and unsteady on my feet. I looked down and noticed the bite wound from the previous wolf still hadn't healed, which was odd since it usually took a minute for the wound to close.
The wolf let out a growl and charged at me again.I tried to dodge it but ended up tripping.
The wolf's mouth was just above my face when something shot out and pierced through the wolf's body.
I could hear its pained whimpers, the wolf fell on top of me.The wolf's weight knocked the breath out of me and I couldn't move.It was struggling and wiggling, trying to free itself.
As it continued to struggle, its blood and saliva started dripping onto my face and body.
I could feel its warm blood slowly seeping out of its wound and dripping down my face and onto my chest and arms.
Its fur was rough and coarse and smelled musky,Its blood had an iron-like scent to it.
The blood continued to trickle out of the wolf and onto me, staining my Scales.
The wolf struggled more, its weight shifted, and it fell on my wing, the bone snapped and pierced the membrane of my wing. My wing was pinned between the wolf and the ground.
The pain was excruciating. I wanted to scream, but all that came out was a strangled whimper.
I'm going to have to use all of magic that was left I didn't want to do this as I will have no way to kill the other wolfs if they survive my attack, and that would mean I would have to fight them with no magic as I was thinking about this I started to use all of magic in this one attack willing for a vortex to appear and destroy everything around it.
I felt my magic drain, my body ached, well also using scorching touch in way that I don't normally use it with the upgrade it allowed me to coat the surrounding's or unleash a Mountain of my flames at the target and the target itself.
My White Blazing flames spread across the forest, and everything it touched burned.
The flames quickly spread across the forest, burning everything in their path.
I watched the flames spread and engulf the area around us.after the flames spread.
I was left panting heavily. The fire continued to burn around me, destroying everything it touched. I was lying there, my chest heaving, the heat from the flames was suffocating, the smell of burning wood and flesh was making me nauseous, I could feel the blood from the wolf's corpses cooling and drying on my scales.
My wounds ached, the broken bones in my wing felt like they were burning,
The smell of blood and burnt flesh was starting to make me feel light-headed.
3 figures were approaching, they were Eternano wolves.
Their bodies were covered in flames.
They were running at full speed towards me. I had no way to defend myself, I could only hope that the fire had weakened them.
As they drew closer I noticed something strange, their fur was still intact. They should have been burned to a crisp, but their bodies seemed to be unharmed by the fire.
How were they able to withstand such intense heat?
The flames were engulfing their bodies, but they showed no signs of being affected by the fire.
The first wolf leapt towards me, his teeth bared,
I was defenseless. My wing was useless, my body was aching, and I had no magic left.
"But I couldn't give up."
"I had to fight."
The second wolf leapt towards me, his teeth bared,
My heart was pounding, My breath was quickening. The third wolf leapt towards me, his teeth bared. The wolf was just inches away.
I could smell its rancid breath.
I had no time.
I had to do it.
I tilted my head
And then...
I sank my teeth into the wolf's throat, the wolf yelped and struggled. My mouth was full of his flesh, My heart was racing,I bit down harder, the wolf struggled, but he was no match for my strength. I heard the wolf's neck snap.
I pulled back, and the wolf slumped to the ground, dead.
I was panting, my breath coming in ragged gasps. My heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to burst. The other 2 wolves were staring at me, their eyes filled with fear.
I stared back at them.
I had killed the first wolf, but I had no way to kill the other two. They could easily rip me apart, I had no defense.
"They had to know that."
Yet they were just standing there.
It was as if they were waiting for something.
Waiting for me to make the first move.
I had to think of something, some way to defeat them.
Well, waiting for them to make their move I have been slowly filling my reserves of Eternano from the surrounding atmosphere to give me what you would call a Meager amount of Magic Power of 1.5/70 this allowed me to use one skill barely and heal very slowly.
I knew the next move could mean life or death for me.If I was wrong, it would be the end.
But I had no choice. I was desperate.
The two wolves stared at me.
They were waiting for me to make a move.
I had to do something.
Anything.
I couldn't let them win.
Not now.
The two wolves leapt towards me, their teeth bared. They were upon me. My heart was beating faster. Than ever My breath was quickening at a pace I couldn't register.
[You Have used the Skill: Dash]
[-Speed increases by 2x]
I lunged at the wolf. My head snapped forward,
my teeth sunk into the wolf's flesh, the wolf yelped and Whimpered.
As I bit down harder, the wolf struggled, trying to get my teeth out of him, he started by rapidly kicking his paws in my direction as I bit down harder his bones cracked under the pressure of my jaws, and his flesh tore, his blood flowing freely.
I pulled pack throwing this wolf away from me as I locked onto the wolf that was charging at me with its teeth bared and a red hue coming off of him.
This time though instead of trying to bite it I used my right paw and claws and raked its body
It dodged by jumping up into the air and stomping down upon me and then biting into my leg.
The pain was intense, my vision blurred, I couldn't think straight, my whole body was screaming in pain,
The wolf pulled back, its jaws slick with my blood,
As it was about to bite me again, I dodged, its teeth grazed the side of my neck.
It lunged forward, its teeth sinking into my shoulder,
I couldn't hold back anymore, the pain was unbearable, I couldn't take it any longer,
[You Have used the Skill: Sprint]
[-speed increases by 3x]
The wolf let go of me and tried to get away,
But it was too late, I lunged forward, and my jaws closed around its neck,
My teeth tore into its flesh, its blood flowed freely,I ripped its throat out, its blood flowing onto the ground,
Its body fell limp, its eyes fixed on me,

The adrenaline rushed through me, and the pain seemed to fade.
My heart was beating faster than ever before.
I stood there, the corpses of the wolves at my feet, the forest burning around me,
And the smell of smoke filling my nose.
The feeling of happiness faded, and I was left alone in the middle of the burning forest.
As the smoke started to clear, and the fire died down, I could see the devastation the fire had caused.
The forest was a charred wasteland, the trees were blackened and smoldering, the grass and bushes were nothing but ashes, A dark, black scar stretched out into the distance, an evidence to the destruction the fire had brought.
I was left standing in the middle of the ruins. That was created by me As I was looking at what I did to this forest I wanted to know how strong I've grown.
A blue translucent screen appeared before me.
