Chapter 24 The Natural Predator
[ A wild wolf pup has appeared ]
"..."
Shin's eyes were wide open when a white wolf pup appeared in front of him. The wolf pup looked quite similar to himself.
Although it seemed as if the wolf pup wasn't as healthy as Shin, it could be easily deducted that the wolf pup belonged to the same race as that of Shin, at least that was apparent from the pure white colored fur of the pup.
'Dub'
The pup fell on the ground right after it appeared in front of Shin.
"Hey! Are you alright?", Shin asked reflexively.
But unfortunately he didn't get any response. He could see that the pup was breathing heavily and in an abnormal manner.
'System, give me the profile of the wolf pup that's in front of me!'
'Ding'

Shin saw the stats of the wolf pup and was awed by it. He couldn't actually see the pup bleeding but since the system mentioned it, that could be the truth.
He didn't care about the low stats that were shown, all he looked at was the stats effect that was on the pup.
'Tap Tap Tap'
Slowly yet steadily, he walked closer and closer. The wolf pup was unconscious as mentioned by the system so he didn't think of the chance of the wolf pup running away due to fear.
Regardless, he approached the wolf pup and stood there for a few second.
'That...'
He noticed something after continuously staring at the pup.
The region near the abdomen was a bit swollen for some reason and it was without a doubt not due to any sort of food.
In fact, it seemed to be quite abnormal and probably that was what the system had mentioned about.
'Could it be...? Internal bleeding?'
That was the most obvious case since there were no signs of any blood on the outside.
"..."
The wolf pup was panting continuously due to pain which for some reason made Shin uncomfortable.
He just slowly placed his paw on the abdomen gently since he had no intention of increasing the pain of the pup.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Heal Lv.1 ]
[ The wounded part is being treated ]
[ Estimated time before complete healing: 00:00:05:00 ( 5 minutes ) ]
It seemed as if Shin knew exactly what he was doing. He probably remembered the Healing skill which he had gained somehow earlier from the system.
No matter how he received, it was quite useful right now.
He stood in the same manner on his three limbs while the fourth limb was being held on the abdomen of the pup.
Indeed, he could see that the pup was getting healed. The swollen part was slowly disappearing.
He didn't know what exact mechanism did the healing spell follow, but it was evident that it was something related to time as if the swollen area was getting reversed back to the same condition as it was before.
Soon five minutes were up and as skill's activation ended too. The system notification that Shin had been waiting for popped up too but along with that he received a small yet unique reward for what he did.
'Ding'
[ Estimated time before healing: 00:00:00:00 ]
[ You have healed the wolf pup ]
'Ding'
[ Congratulation ]
[ You have acquired the title 'Wolf Doctor' ]
-> When the skill Heal would be used for others, the effect will be doubled.
-> 1 exp will be provided per complete heal.
[ Your presence as a doctor/healer will be known to all the wolves in the territory ]
"Huh?"
"What!?"
Shin was happy about the title and it's effect but he was surprised by the very last line about everyone knowing about him.
Of course, he was already in the terrain of some other wolf so he couldn't prevent himself from meeting them, but he never expected to see them in such a manner.
[ Status effect ]
-> Weakened
That was the only effect that was left for the wolf pup which he treated.
"Hmm, perhaps the heal skill doesn't help the weakened body to get stronger...", he wondered.
He was just thinking about that when all of a sudden the wolf pup which was healed by him woke up and moved a bit away from him.
Then the wolf pup took a weird defensive stance which it had probably learnt while watching from of the other wolves. It started to glare at Shin with it's tiny cute eyes.
Shin wanted to laugh while seeing this, but the situation didn't let him to.
But he did smile and try to explain everything to the wolf pup, however that attempt failed since the pup hadn't reached a maturity where it could go with reasoning.
It started to run towards Shin and then opened it's toothless mouth wide and tried to bite Shin.
But since there were no teeth, it didn't hurt him at all. In fact, it gave him a weird sensation of pleasure.
"Haha, what are you trying to do?", Shin asked.
However the wolf pup couldn't even speak. It just continued to bite Shin's fluffy ears.
Shin seemed to enjoy this. The pup was falling down and then getting up on it's own and was biting some other part such as Shin's tail.
The moment that happened, he felt a weird chill. It felt ticklish too but it was way too indescribable since it was the first time Shin had felt something like this.
"Haha, that's enough..."
Shin was still laughing at what the pup was trying to do when suddenly a system notification popped up.
'Bam'
Everything in the surrounding was now covered with the cloud of dust and the vision seemed to be blocked.
When the cloud of dust settled down, everything was clear again. Shin could see a huge bear standing on two of it's hind limbs and glaring at him while giving out a large amount of killing intent.
Earlier, it seemed as if the bear had used it's destructive power to destroy the area and thankfully Shin was able to evade it in time with the pup.
He was now carrying the pup with his mouth while looking at what was displayed in the system.
[ Warning ]
[ Huge amount of blood lust is detected ]
[ Warning ]

'Ding'
[ Class Hunter and Class Predator have become dormant for 00:02:00:00 ( 2 hours ) due to the presence of the host's Natural Predator ]
