[@Zeroth] It was over. Several beings fought one another for the sake of survival at the start of this bloody free-for-all...now there was only one standing atop the almost literal pile of corpses. Ed sat on his hind legs before squeezing his eyes shut and let out a roar. To the outside spectator, one would assume it was a roar of triumph and victory. Though in truth, Ed roared out of exhaustion and pain. The pain-killing effect of both anger and adrenaline was fading away each passing second. The dull throb of overexerted muscle. The burning sensation of the acid droplets upon his flesh. He felt every ounce of pain he had dulled and ignored in the fight return to him. Ed could only grimace and let a hiss out of his grit teeth. Ed wanted to go back to the nest and forget about what had transpired here but as much as he wanted to return to the nest, he was in no condition to be moving great distances as of now, what more the feeling of both physical and mental exhaustion was quickly settling within him. He had to look for shelter for the night or risk getting killed and eaten in his sleep. The cave was bound to have a number of uninhabited cracks and holes in the walls and it didn't take Ed long to spot one. It was large enough for him to crawl in, but small enough for other critters to not think Ed was there. Ed was slowly dozing off to sleep when the notification from his earlier level up forced its way back into his head. [quote=System:Ed] LEVEL UP! Your experiences have culminated into new power.

There were so many options to chose from. He thought that maybe it would be useful to be able to control his fits of anger and maybe even the intensity of the fit. From what his tired state could understand [b][Rabid Fit][/b] would be the one skill responsible for it. [color=chocolate]"Hmmm...rabid fit would be good."[/color] Ed said to himself before the exhaustion finally got to him and let him doze off. The system, as if understanding Edward's desire, allocated all the five points straight into the [b][Rabid Fit][/b] skill.
