Finally, he turned his attention toward his talent; he called out its name in his mind as a panel appeared before him.
-=-=-=-=-=
Fortune Choice(White):
Active: You can activate this skill once a month, when activated three pieces of information will appear in front of you: two pieces carrying fortune and a piece carrying misfortune. It is to note that fortune and misfortune are tied to your rank.
Passive: Every day, you have a certain chance to activate this talent; this will not consume the active slot.
Fortune Types- Neutral: No Gain and No Losses, Minor fortune/Misfortune: Helps to accelerate growth or increase strength/ injuries or danger, Major fortune/Misfortune: A great help for your current strength/ chances of death, Great fortune/Misfortune: Enough to change the course of your life/ 90% chance of certain death, Life Changing fortune/Misfortune: Equal to a snake becoming a dragon/ Certain death.
-=-=-=-=-=-=
Looking at his talent, his lizard face couldn't help but show a human-like smile; this was a skill almost perfect for survival. Although he doesn't know how high the chances of the passive activation are, it should be quite low.
Just as he was wondering, his talent glowed as three pieces of information appeared in front of him.
-=-=-=-=-=-
Minor Fortune: Travel five hundred meters to the east, and there you will find a rock formation. Dig down next to the largest rock. You will find a small cave containing a poisonous pond, a great habitat for poison element beasts. There are three Poison lotuses in the pond that will mature in a month. Eating a Poison lotus, a F rank item, increases poison element affinity for poison element beasts.
Neutral: Stay in your current area, you will face no danger and will be able to hunt an adult ordinary rank forest rat.
Minor Misfortune: Travel two hundred meters to the west, there, due to your carelessness, you will be wounded by a lone adult ordinary rank Forest Wolf. Although you will be able to kill the wolf, it will take a week to heal from your injuries.

Looking at the information provided by his talent, he narrowed his eyes. Through the information contained in the original lizard soul, he understood the general direction.
He took a look in the east direction for a moment before slowly heading west. He activated his stealth skill as he blended into the grass.
His eyes scanned his surroundings as he moved through the forest. After travelling a hundred meters, he spotted the forest wolf hidden in the bushes with his keen eyesight.
It was the same size as an adult wolf in its last life, but its fur was green in color. Looking at its somewhat shriveled body, he was certain it hadn't eaten for a while.
The ferocity innate to a predator awakened as he slowly moved forward, his posture poised his body such that he could pounce on the wolf from the side.
The wolf didn't notice as Nexus slowly crept up on him, finding the right position, he opened his mouth as saliva dripped. With a burst of strength, he thrusted forward, lunging at the wolf.
The wolf noticed the danger, but it was far too late; its jaw bit the wolf's neck as its poisonous saliva entered its blood.
"Owww!!"
The wolf let out a pained roar as it clawed at him, leaving minor injuries. Without a moment to waste, Nexus backed down. His job was done; now it was time to wait for his poison to work.
The combination of a wound to the neck and its already weakened body meant that the wolf had no chance of survival. Its blood continued to drip as its body froze due to the neurotoxin; it fell with a thud as its life came to an end.
[Fighting: Satity -5%, Experience 40]
Looking at the notification and feeling a pang of hunger, he bit down on the body of the already dead wolf.
Dragging its body, it moved toward the east. Other beasts or ordinary animals, seeing him from a distance, ran away. After all, it's not worth fighting a poisonous creature; the wolf only attacked him because its mind was clouded by hunger.
Thus, without any disturbance, he reached the stone formation in the east, releasing some of his saliva, he marked the area as his.
Although he is in his juvenile stage, he is still a beast rank, plus the fact that he is of the poison element, he can be considered a top predator in this area.
Those weaker than him won't dare move against him, those as strong as him will avoid him, and those stronger than him feel that he isn't worth the effort. After all, even his meat contains a certain level of venom.
He looked at the stone formation and spotted a rock with a height of three or four meters, the largest rock in this area. Putting down the wolf, he started to dig the ground. After a few moments, he found a cave entrance.
Biting down on the wolf's corpse, he dragged it inside the cave. As he moved deeper, the cave opened up. Feeling the rich poison element in the air, he felt a sense of relaxation.
He also saw three lotus pods floating in the center of the pond.
Looking at the small pond, triple the length of his body length he gulped the water rich in poison elements. Although the water was somewhat poisonous, his resistance negated the adverse effect.
[Satiety +5%]
Looking at the wolf's corpse, he started to bite down, although he was a human once, due to his soul being combined with the lizards, he adapted quickly.
It was the same situation for all the people who were transported to this world. Taking a bite of the meat, he opened the chat. Three hours had passed since their reincarnation, and the chat had mostly calmed down.

Population: 9993/10,000
It seems seven people had already died in these seven hours; well, they can be considered unlucky.
---------
-I wonder who those unlucky seven are.
-Bro, does anyone want to take in a rat? I can help gather information.
- I, the might tiger, am forming an alliance. Is anyone interested? If so, come toward the west side near the large lake.
-Tiger Bro, I want to join. I am a boar and can be of great help to you.
-Hey, what if the tiger is gathering the food to hunt?
....

Looking at the chat, the tiger caught his attention. Doing a thorough search, he found the information about him.
He was reborn as a tiger, an Earth Fanged Tiger to be exact, a white grade bloodline, and a beast on the peak of its juvenile stage. As the species' name suggests, he carries the earth element, and according to him, his rating is given as mid.
Seeing all this easily accessible information, he couldn't help but wonder if the tiger was truly so naive or was giving false information.
'Forget it.'
He thought to himself as he feasted on the wolf corpse, after eating half of it, his satiety reached 100%. Looking at the chat one last time, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Due to the lizard's lazy nature and his tired mind, he slept for eight hours straight.
[Slept: Satity -30%, Experience +150]
It seems even when sleeping, he can gain experience. He felt a sudden surge of strength as he looked at his system panel.

Feeling the growth in his strength, he moved his body, opened the chat, and looked at the information. A surprised look appeared on his face as he checked the information.
The tiger truly formed an alliance; a Dark Cave Bear seemed to have attacked him, thinking him as easy prey, but was counterattacked.
The tiger hid his strength; he wasn't a peak Juvenile stage but an adult stage, and his combat rating wasn't mid rank but High rank.
As he did a little more digging, he found out the ins and outs of the situation. The Dark Cave Bear was a peak juvenile stage creature and was of the dark element, possessing a dark element attack skill.
He wanted to hunt the Earth Fanged Tiger to use its heart as an item for evolution, as the earth element complemented the dark element. He was counterattacked, and now his heart will be used by the tiger.
He also learned the name of the alliance, 'Heavenly Tiger Alliance'. Just looking at the name once can understand Raymond's(The Tiger) aspiration.
Putting that thought aside, he looked at the remaining wolf's body and started to chow down on it. While looking for the information about the tiger, he also understood why he got so much experience from sleeping.
According to the information, in the juvenile stage, certain action that are associated with the normal growth process of the species gives the most experience.
Thus, normal predators gain more experience from hunting, and a lizard like him gains more experience from eating and sleeping.
Though after adulthood, the only way to gain experience is through intense physical exercises.
This series of information was provided by a White Feathered Eagle. Although it was given for free, the eagle said that new information would require food as trade.
Yes, the chat also has a trading function. Nexus had looked, all the items present currently were different food, be it meat or fruits. The price of items containing elements.
The entire human species seems to have adapted quite quickly, though the hundred new deaths still speak volumes.
