110 Netra (1/2)

After that, I took some time to console her.

In the end, she stopped crying and started smiling instead. It seems she was really glad to meet me.

As if I was some long lost family member.

I chuckled at the thought after which she decided to share the mutant meat with me which was rather generous of her.

So far I had not known how my stats increase. But my guess was that eating about 100 kg of 3rd tier mutant meat increased my stats by 0.1 stat point.

That mutant alligator, even though half eaten, still weighed more than 500 kg. And on top of that, it was a 4th tier mutant beast.

Something that I was definitely not capable of beating.

And she was just giving it to me.

That just goes to show that either she was a very powerful person. Or she valued me rather highly.

”Are you sure about this?” I asked one last time and she nodded with a smile.

”Don't mind me. Go ahead. Consider it a gift.” She said and I gave a smile in return.

But just as I was about to dig in, I remembered something and looked at her once again.

”I'm so sorry. Here I am, eating your food and I didn't even asked your name. Who are you?” I asked.

”Me? I'm a…” she hesitated but then continued ”I'm a Shepherd.”

'Why would she tell me about her occupation?' I thought and gave her a weird look.

”I was not asking about what you did before the apocalypse. I am asking your name.” I said with a polite smile.

'This girl was a bit weird and overly emotional but she seemed like a good person. No reason why I should not be polite to her.'

”My name…” she said and looking at her expression gave me the feeling that it was something that was not usually asked of her.

”Yeah. Your name. I'm Ashok by the way. Ashok Singh Rana.” I said and brought my hand forward to her.

”Oh!” she said as she looked at my hand for a moment incomprehensibly before she smiled sweetly and shook my hand ”I'm Netra. Netra Patakh. Nice to meet you Ashok.”

I smiled back at her after which I opened my jaw and dig into the mutant alligator.

It was tough but delicious.

Far more delicious than a 3rd tier mutant beast.

I wondered if it would taste the same to a normal human who is it something about us Fiends that makes the mutant meat seem delicious.

'Probably something about us.' I thought with a smile.
