Once I woke up I got a notification.
*Ding*
I wonder what does those traits do. As if on cue 3 blue windows appeared in front of my eyes.
Momo: “Hmmmmm, what should I do, they all sound good and all. But if I choose one will I lose the others? Well no point in overthinking this, I'll go with [Scale Armor].”
*Ding*
Momo: "Yes."
After I finished with my choice I noticed the racket that my brothers and sisters were making. Soon I saw an elder lizardman coming my way. He only stopped before he was above me. Then he spoke:
???: "Your name is Sala."
*Ding*
You have obtained a name, Sala.
*Ding*
Once he gave me my name he continued on to do the same for the rest of my brothers and sisters.
I then started looking around and was surprised. As I was I couldn't see myself but once I started looking around I managed to see how the newborn lizard-kin looks like. And I was not alone there were around 40 large lizard look-alikes.
After some time surveying my surroundings I got another skill.
*Ding*
Sala:'Cool I got a skill. Let's test it out.' Then I spoke out concentrating on single lizard.
"Observe"
Once that happened I became aware of my level which is 42. That also made me recall Belial's advice to meditate.
Before I started I decided to fill my belly with some food. This time I decided to [Observe] what I take so I concentrate on the pile and a flood of information immediately reached my brain with different kinds of meats. Then I decided to take several [Horned Rabbit Meat] and moved to the corner of the cave.
Sitting down comfortably I closed my eyes and started meditating. It wasn't too hard, I just closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing like I did usually and reached my goal.
*Ding*
As I trained kendo and archery in my previous life I was forced to learn various meditation techniques. One thing that was extremely distracting was all the [Minor Lizardling]'s occasionally trying to get my attention.
So I decided to practice one of my favorites. I slowly suppressed my five senses and tried to blend in with the atmosphere of my surroundings.
*Ding*
Ok that didn't go as well as I expected. Since I was a little of a sore loser I got up and started sneaking around while suppressing my presence as I was used to it and…
Stolen story; please report.
Suffice to say I failed miserably. What I forgot to include to my movements was my tail which made me fall flat on my face quite a few times.
After another 10 more or so tries I finally was able to sneak past my peers without any trouble.
*Ding*
Once I locked out the noise my siblings produced and I was no longer bugged by their curiosity on what I was doing I started meditating again.
This time my concentration was much better so it didn't take long to detect a small abnormality in my chest right behind my heart. I decided to dive into that abnormality head on without hesitation.
*Ding*
Now that I can sense my mana I started to move it inside my body expanding it to every inch of my body and making it circulate inside my body.
*Ding*
Now that I could move my mana freely I opened my eyes and started pushing it to my palms covering them with my mana, which to my surprise materialised in the form of sparks covering my palms.
*Ding*
That gave me an idea and I started covering all of myself in mana. Once I was done I was covered by intense bluish sparks.
*Ding*
Once I got this skill I felt content with my progress and opened my eyes. As strange as it was I did not feel hungry at all. But for the sake of my health I tried to get some food just to get pushed back by a wall of lizardlings.
Apparently they have become more physically advanced to the point of becoming an impenetrable wall for me who spend all of her time meditating.
So I decided to do one sensible thing to do, I used my [Hide Presence] and [Blend] then started moving around the brawl that broke out at the food pile. And grabbed my favorite [Horned Rabbit Meat].
*Ding*
*Ding*
Sala: 'I wonder if I lose the other skills if I choose [Stealth]? Oh well, there is no point in crying over spilled milk.' And bracing myself I spoke out. "Yes."
*Ding*
Sala:'Oh good, at least I haven't lost [Hide Presence].'
Completely content with my progress today and my belly full of delicious meat, I decided to curl up in a corner of the cave and sleep
