He moved from his current position silently. Standing a few hundred metres away he watched, he could not see the rats but he was waiting.
Waiting to see if they will discover his position and within a few seconds he heard them rushing towards his position. Without wasting any time he left mist and rushed back to his cave.
He had confirmed his suspicions, the rats did not only use sound, they had other means to discover him, maybe scent and he was going to test that next time.
The following day or what he assumed to be, he had lost track of time here as there was no difference between day and night. He covered himself in rats blood.
He wore the hides of the two dead rats like a cloak to mask his scent. He was not certain if this will fully mask his scent but that was why he was going to find out.
Entering the mist he stopped a few minutes in. Like last time he tapped a bone, the bones were hollow so the sound they produced was like a music instrument and echoed far and wide into the mist.
It did not take long for the little critters to come rushing at him. Like last time he moved away slowly and quietly, the skill stealth further masking his presence.
He waited a while and no rats came rushing at him. A few did pass by him and sniffed the air but he assumed they must've thought it was dead kin since they moved on.
He was surprised though, he had expected them to consume their dead kin or maybe it because the blood on him smelled old and rotten.
The rats he used had been dead for a white after all and things seem to decompose faster in this realm. Having confirmed what he wanted to confirm it was time to get to work.
He grinned, slowly he walked across the mist, the further in he went the worst the visibility but he did not care. Infront of him was a rat sniffing the air.
He swung his bone spear and plunged it deep into it eye stabbing it brain, it died before it could call it kin, he dragged it out and went back to his cave.
He repeated this routine over and over again for the next few.. well days, could be weeks he was not sure anymore. He was discovered a few time and as he thought, they did eat their dead kin.
When he covered himself with the blood of a recently dead rat they rushed at him, they were not as feral ad when they were going at a living prey but more like pups seeing food.
He had to run which seems to have startled them before they started chasing. It been over..what he assumed to be a month maybe more but it been a while.
He was eating the last piece of a dead rat, he noticed the more he ate the less the effect or rather he needed more food to achieve similar growth, even when mixed with mushrooms, it like experience, the stronger he grows the more he needs.
Speaking of experience, he had killed tens of rats possibly hundreds yet there was no notification of experience gained, it was truly strange.
He swallowed the last piece and just as he was about to relax he felt his body change, it been a while but he was growing larger again. Over the past month? Months? He had grown a few extra centimetres.
He was now 2.82 metres. With this growth he hit 3 metres, he did not expect to grow that much at once, he could confidently call himself a giant now.
Standing at 3 metres will arms and legs like logs, his torso filled with packs, 8 packs to be exact, his body was incredibly powerful now. As he was flexing a system notification came.
It been a white since he recieved one of those. ( Notice, host had discovered a new path( TITAN BODY FORGING PATH) congratulations to host for awakening a long forgotten path, you are now one of the few who still walk the path of the Titans)

His system interface had really improved from the first he arrived into this world, he was way more powerful now, atleast compared to his former self, he's still ridiculously weak in the grand scale of things.
It seems he gained a lot of stats while in this realm and he figured it because of the knew path, he kind of figured what a path is now, a way to evolve and grow stronger.
It appears the other path is called the path of slaughter which kind of made sense considering you have to kill to gain experience.
The other made sense too, Titan body forging path, considering he had grown to three metres in what he assumed to be the first realm made him wonder how much larger he would be at the final realm.
Calling him a Titan would not be far from the truth then, he also had a mass of 832 kg, that a lot.
