Chapter 5 - Five - Knowledge is power

I was once again standing outside a clearing, looking upon the herd of cows. They were closer to us than before, which was perfect for me.

Ugh, shit, everything hurts, like I overdid a workout.

I let the growl rise this time, alerting them of my presence, and jumped out of the trees barking at them. Some started running, but not enough.

That's part two. Sorry forest.

With my new magic I made a stream of fire go out like a fan, spreading through the grass and making the cows frightened. They started running like mad, stomping on whatever may be standing on their path.

Which would be some noisy humans soon.

After directing them I run back to my brother, sweat dripping off my tongue as my muscles complained about the lack of rest.

Not yet.

Without waiting to see if my plan worked I thanked that I was bigger than my brother and somehow manage to put him over my shoulders.

Walking slowly, fatigue consumed my mind as I focused all my energy in each step. Paw paw, paw paw.

To take myself off from the self-pity, I used appraisal on myself again and on my brother.

I realized because of my low MP that fire magic does not consume it, probably because we are creatures made of fire, so breathing fire would be like biting or scratching someone. My brothers:

What the hell is that MP?! He had a lower level than I but his magic attack is stronger, how so? Maybe he is built more for a magic user, a druid or a mage, and I would be like the warrior or templar.

…I won't even try to understand that one. Gibberish!

But this time his information showed up too, I wonder why. I look at a rock again.

-Appraisal – Still a Rock

…

…Someone is mocking me, I can feel it.

Ding – Appraisal level up 3 –

-Appraisal can now be used to clarified abilities-

Oho, can it now?

Most are self-explanatory, but these titles are bothering me. Least start with some of mine shall we?

The Wise – Allows the holder to learn new abilities faster than normal, more useful in theory's than practice, for example language, geography, history, philosophy, music, etc.

-Does not work with cooking or household shores.-

Angry One – One that you should not discuss with. Easily angered, losses it's cool for little things. Doesn't like to be questioned. Likes to be in control.

-Earned berserker mode (1): raises the holder status, pain resistance, endurance and blood l.u.s.t by 3X for 1 minute. Side effects: can cloud the thoughts of the holder making him attack indiscriminately, unable to move for 2 hours and sore limbs afterward.

Reincarnated – The one that was reborn, lived and died in another body and had the soul transferred. Comes with unique abilities: Appraisal, The Wise. Side effect: may have memories that do not belong to the present body.

Older Brother – Creates a unique bound with the ~younger brother~, able to understand each other with one look. Side effects: As the older brother, you feel compelled to protect the ~younger brother~ with your life if needed.

Wow, some are ok, exactly what I thought it would be, but first: Why not cooking? Are you kidding me? Second, don't even need that title, of course I would protect my brother.

Third… cat's out of the bag. Reincarnated? From where? Which means that I will remember my past life? That may be useful, but sad in a way.

My head was hurting as much as my body once I arrive at a cave. Feeling that the next day would be harder than the present one; if that was even possible; I enter deep in the cave, without energy to search if it was safe or not and for any other exits.

I didn't even bother to take my brother off my shoulders, I just lay down to sleep, not before analyzing one more thing with appraisal:

Good Boy – Who is the good boy? Who is it? Is you, awww, is you the good boy. Good job, good boy.

…

That explained a lot.
