The white viper had way better stats than I did and it was a level 8, whereas I was a level 1. I get that we had the sa number of skills, but why were its more attack prone and mine… adaptability-prone? Were those the right terms? Ah whatever.
Its stamina and health point were far above mine. Running now would be suicide and attempting to fight back would also be suicide. I had no options left. I was going die again and this ti, there was no way to avoid it. I wanted to run. What else could I do? I had done my best, right?
Just as I thought I was done for, salvation ca to in the form of a horrid screech. Both the snake and I looked up as a shadow lood over us. A single black feather fell slowly towards us and landed right in front of . A shadowy figure slowly descended, flapping its massive powerful wings like an angel from above, here to save . I used [Analyst] to see who this kind soul was.

Its stats were all weird. Why had it lost so much health and stamina? Its level was pretty high though. It also had no blessings, but its titles… I was sort of intrigued. It had the sa number of skills as both the viper and I, but its stats were on a whole other league.
'Why are so of the numbers in brackets though? Does that an it is losing stats? Is that even possible?'
The black wayne pounced on the viper, saving from death. The white snake hissed at the bird as it wriggled away. The two creatures then started staring each other down, the snake hissing and the wayne cawing. Both of them asserting their dominance over each other. It was starting to feel like sothing I would see on the Wildlife Channel.
The black wayne flapped its wings violently, probably as a way to scare off the snake, but it didn't work. The snake jabbed at the wayne with its powerful tail, forcing the wayne to jump up. The impact from the tail hitting the ground where the wayne once stood sent a few of the pebbles flying in my direction.
'Sa sa! Why do they look like boulders?!'
I jumped back to avoid one that almost crushed . It clacked when it landed, but there was no ti for to take a breather. I had to jump to avoid another one. I kept on doing this until the pebbles were done and I was huffing for air. My stamina had gone down by 4 and that made my heart skip a beat.
My eye caught hold of the white fangs coming for my head at an insane speed, so I tried jumping out of the way, but I wasn't going to make it. Yet again, for the hundredth ti this day in this very sa area, I was about to die. That didn't lessen the horrid creeping feeling of death clawing at my heart.
With a loud flapping sound and feathers flying all about, sharp polished talons grabbed the viper by the neck, yanking it away from . Black Wayne-kun was back. He grabbed the snake, yanking it away before I managed to land on the hard pebbles in a pathetic way. Soon, all I could hear was the struggle of two predators fighting. Bird versus snake. Who would co out on top? That much was obvious.
I managed to get a glimpse of the fight as I stood back on my two legs slowly. The snake struggled in the black wayne's talons, twisting, hissing and snapping violently. It bit at the wayne several tis, until it got one bite in. This seed to enrage it however, as it begun to peck the viper violently. In addition to its talons that were already deep into its body. The fight soon turned into a bloody one, staining the ground on which they fought and scarring my eyes permanently.
Their bodies fused as the two beings clashed in a bloody ss. During this, a question ca to mind.
Was this my fate? Was I going to beco a savage beast that fought in bloody battles to get simple food? I didn't want this. I did not want this kind of life. Reading manga and watching Isekai ani had thinking that this was going to be epic with a few bumps along the way. It wasn't. Those manga artistes and authors had no idea what they were writing about.
Thinking back on it, they must have known, because so of the characters are never happy. They cried a lot and carried so severe trauma throughout the entire story. They were usually my favorite kind of characters because they were the most human. They really suffered a lot.
THUD!
Interrupting my thought process, the black wayne dropped the viper on the ground, then stood next to it. It shook its feathers violently as it towered over the motionless snake like a champion. I was filled to the brim with so much joy and happiness that I started jumping about.
'Yeah! That's one for the avians and zero for snakes! Take that you stupid snake! You hear that? Never ss with birds! We stand at the top of the food chain! Woohoo! Isn't that right, Black Wayne-kun? Black Wayne-kun?'
I looked at my big black feathered friend who was still huffing. I saw a ton of blood where it stood, accompanied by the bloody ss that was the snake. Its guts laid sprawled out on the ground.
Sothing felt off though. The Wayne slowly craned its neck at , giving a good view of its bloodied face and practically broken beak, littered with scars. My eye t its eye, which seed to be in a lot of pain.
'Black Wayne-kun? What's wrong?'
[Analyst] activated, leaving a bit stunned. The black wayne-kun now had 15 health points remaining and his stamina was now 10. It had two new status effects, those being [Weak Paralysis] and [Strong Poison]. The only good thing it got was probably its new [Poison Resistance] and I was certain that it wouldn't be enough for a status effect like [Strong Poison].
My eyes then trailed back down to the white viper and with [Analyst] activated, I was left with my beak trembling. Then I saw the snake twitch. Its status showed [Weak] instead of the much more desired [Dead], which ant I was screwed.
The snake's head raised up and it glared at , sending shivers down my spine. It still had 30 health points and 40 stamina.
'Sa sa! This isn't fair!'
