"It is enough." Picking up the little rabbit in his arms, craddling it tight like a baby against his chest, the hero leaned forward and began running at high speeds once again.
"Where are you going with it." Asked Chat, not taking their eyes out of the sky that was getting cloudier and darker, each step the hero taking crunching leaves alongside the rumble of thunder.
With another sudden stop, the hero put the rabbit down on the ground and after a final petting session of almost 20 minutes, then ran right back to his destination.
"I ask why you are going the opposite direction of the village." Chat was sure the icon of where he should go was appearing in his vision, he looked back at where they left the rabbit and surely, the icon indicating the village was right in the horizon.
"Im bad with directions." The hero said as he drifted along the ground in a sudden u-turn, leaving Chat pondering if he would either be great at chasing after enemies or running away from them.
'Who knows, maybe even both.'
After passing through the rabbit again, the little critter looked very carefully in the splot second he passed by them. It was at that moment when the rabbit witnessed the way humans ran that it understood why they were always caught.
Now, they could retaliate.
A cloud of dust and dead leaves blinded the rabbit while it looked at the ground with a sharp glimpse of determination in its eyes all of sudden, and it felt 2 firm hands grasping it by the front legs and squeezing it gently. Before it could even think of kicking or impaling its aggressor, the hero's monotone voice spoke:
"Your name is Peko Parker, a friend of mine."
For the third time, a blur of dust raced across the quiet florest kicking up rocks and branches that were in its way, unaware of the transformation that was occurring behind them.
"You do know the consequences of naming that creature right?"
"Yes." Hearing that, Chat ignored the sudden flow of powerful hero mana surging at their backs, which was for sure something they wouldn't have to worry about right now, as the first drops of rain started hitting the hero's face.
Like the wind, the hero dodged holes and irregularities in the ground with steep precision, in his head the right rocks and trees to jump being envisioned seconds before he did so, taking the seconds he remained in the air to strike poses before he reached the ground.
As he did, Chat kept dinging with a notification in his head to his abilities growing as he did his acrobatics and stylish maneuvers, at the final reach when the road to the village become clear and the rain started to get heavy, the hero looked up to where it thought Chat would be.
"Could you please stop that? It's giving me a headache." The hero rubbed his temples as he looked down towards the gates of the village, which had no guards at all aside from some young child sitting at the tall fence surrounding the place.
"Understood." Chat said while looking at the last notification of the Speedster skill, which had already reached level 21, meaning he was already as fast as a medium-sized dog.
"Thank you!" The hero put his thumbs up to Chat, that with half amusement and half curiosity, thought if this kid had some experience with races since it was doing it so smoothly.
The hero put both his arms on front of him, getting them parallel to each other as he leaned back with them accompanying his movement, a burst of wind kicking off the rain behind him as he reached even bigger speed when leaning forward with his arms behind him.
After passing through the gate, he was already a Speedster level 23.
The exact moment he set foot to the entrance of the village, when finally stopping with his strange slide technique, he looked around the village with a vagrant gaze all around, when the young child startled him.
"Who are you? Identify yourself!" The child was in a wide stance, holding a big club as he pointed towards the stranger before her.
"Wow, how were you able to do this much running, are you that confident in your stamina?" Chat was checking the vitality status of the hero in the menu, everything seemingly okay for the distance and speed he went through in just about 4 hours.
"To tell you the truth..." the hero fell to his knees, looking to the sky that now had finally poured a pretty heavy rain down on his face.
"I feel like my diaphragm will explode." With a thud he fell face first into the wet ground, his eyes white like orbs of pure marble, sweat making him more drenched than the rain that was at full force already and the child screaming the last thing he heard before fully passing out of exhaustion.
"Oh, it's saying 'fainted' now..." Chat closed the windom as he watched the villagers opening their doors and rushing at the chosen one that had just passed out in their front square.
