I headed back to the cave with the two corpses, which were incredibly hard to carry.
I separated the wolf's fur and the remaining flesh and then washed the nearby lake’s skin.
The furs color was a mix of blue and black. I used it to cover my middle layers of bones from the shoulders to the legs.
I also divided the remaining corpse into parts. Then I used it to lure the rats.
They gathered around the bait. After that, I would use a fireball to get rid of all of the rats at once.

I went on to hunting rats. Then the parent rat appeared. It was four times the size of the normal rats.
“Appraisal”
Skill Evolution: [Appraisal level 3]
Race: Monster Rat
Parents of the rats found in the lower levels of dungeons. It is known for its speed and its charge.
HP:50/270
Strength:15
Agility:40
Since the appraisal level increased, it showed me more information than before. I was surprised to see that its HP was already this low.
I saw that it had just given birth. It was in a weak state. It charged toward me with high speed and struck me.
It was faster than me, so I wasn’t able to dodge. I tried blocking it with my hands, but it pushed me a few steps back.
I stretched my hands out and tried to use gravity control, but it moved in random patterns so that I couldn’t get a hold of it. I tried to think of the best way to deal with this situation while hitting it with a fireball.
A solution came to my mind. I ran towards the place it had given birth to the infant rats.
I saw the place, and I located its infants. The parent rat also noticed that and ran straight towards me.
However, that gave me an opening to strike it. I used fireball, and as the path was straight, the rat got hit and fell to the ground.
It was on its last remaining HP. I used my spear to end its life as I was already low on Magic.

I headed towards the location of the newborn rats. Over 20-50 rats were resting in the nest.
I had to improve my skills, so I used fireball, the nest burnt up and slowly killed them.

I see it now. I am beginning to understand how the leveling works. The level relies more on the number of kills rather than merely their level; however, since I had got additional level up’s when I killed the monster rats' parents, it seems level also matters but not as much as numbers. I am still unsure of how this works but guess I will figure out more about it along the way
They might have been low in level, but thanks to their numbers, it seems I leveled up quite a bit.

I used appraisal to see what merits the classes had.
[Fire Mage: -Greater affinity towards the fire and consumes less magic when using fire spells.]
[Water Mage: - Greater affinity towards the water and consumes less magic when using water spells].
[Dark Mage: - Provides stealth and increases all stats in the absence of light.]
The dark mage seemed perfect for me as the dungeon had little to no light.
As I was about to choose a class, I heard a violent sound from behind me.
It seemed to be the male parent of the rats. It started violently charging towards me and struck me too.
I had Physical Damage Resistance, so it did little damage to me. However, it kept striking me.
I tried to strike back with my spear, but it was too fast and would use the opening created to deal with a fatal blow.
Skill Evolution: [Physical Damage Resistance level 2]
Skill Evolution: [Physical Damage Resistance level 3]
I kept taking damage, but so did my resistance keeps increasing, however now I had a small amount of HP left.
I decided to take a gamble and threw away my spear. I observed when its next attack would be.
I showed an opening on my right side to lure it, and it tried to attack there.
However, I turned towards it. It would have reached me before I could use fireball, so I decided to take the hit.
After it struck me with its head, I had just 10 HP remaining. However, I used this chance to grab it with my two arms, and I used a fireball.
As I was holding the rat, I also received the damage from the fireball.
