《Forge Your Destiny》 Chapter 0 - Prologue ¡°So how did this happen¡± A young man with a grim expression laughed in disbelief. The young man had pale white skin, short black hair, jade green eyes, he was wearing a worn out leather armor and black pants. ¡°Where I am¡± ¡°This can¡¯t possibly be true , right...¡± Shunan let out a dejected sigh, as he looked back at what happened.. __________________________________________ A Few hours ago Shunan was such avid gamer to the point that his parents had to limit his playing hours otherwise he wouldn¡¯t stop,but when he entered university he was too busy with studying for the unending amount of exams or working on countless assignments. So he was truly excited after all now he had some spare time on his day that he would totally use up to play ¡°Destiny¡±. The newest VRMMO ¡°Destiny¡± with the latest technology, was said to let you experience the greatest RPG adventure one would ever want , it was selling like wildfire , in less than 24hrs more than 10 million consoles were sold at a special launching price of ¡ê1800. After seeing trailers of ¡°Destiny¡±, he was immediately hyped up and wanted to play it at all costs, but he was taken aback by the astonishingly high price. ¡°Jesus,that¡¯s too expensive¡± Naturally Shunan been a recent graduate, without a full-time job, he couldn¡¯t possibly have that kind of money to spend on a video game. ¡°I guess I will have to find another part-time job¡± Shunan had no choice but get another part-time job, he already had two that covered all of his day another one meant he would have basically no time off, but he was too eager to play ¡°Destiny¡± so he was prepared to sacrifice some of his resting time. Shunan, looking at the people leaving the shops with ¡°Destiny¡± he felt an even bigger urge to play but unfortunately he was broke, and couldn¡¯t possibly afford it now and the price would only rise. Lucky bastards Before going home, Shunan decided to stop by his favourite coffee shop. He went inside and calmly sat down at the window seat and ordered a cup of Latte, as he took a sip of the sweet as honey Latte. All he could think about was how could he get his hands on ¡°Destiny¡±, even if got another part-time job he would take at least 2-3 months to save up ¡ê1800. From watching the trailers, he had already decided what class he would choose for his, he wanted to be a paladin. ¡±Destiny¡± was a mysterious game. The game creators had released a statement stating that they would let players learn about the game¡¯s fantasy world as they played. They had only released information about classes, and skills. There are many different jobs. Your main character could have one main job and up to 5 other sub-jobs , and the vast skill tree meant that every character could be built in an entirely unique way. It''s was already afternoon and the weather was quite warm. There was such a beautiful sunset that if anyone had the chance to see it they immediately would be captivated by it¡¯s beauty, but Shunan couldn¡¯t help but feel depressed letting out a sigh, as he left the coffee shop. Starting the game, three months later than everyone else would be a great disadvantage, but knowing it was impossible to get one now, he was depressed, the only way he could possibly get a ¡°Destiny¡± now was if it fell from the sky into his house. ¡°If only i had i full-time job¡± The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. Shunan quietly murmured to himself, he had recently graduated from university with a bachelor''s degree and tried to find a job but all the companies he went said they would love to give him a job but sadly there weren¡¯t any vacancies. The country he lived in was in a great depression,most companies had stopped hiring new employees or shut down completely and employees being cut were frequent , it was truly a hard time for people to find a stable job. While deep in thought , shunan arrived at his cheap apartment , he had moved from his parents house into a dorm when he started university, but now he could only afford to rent a cheap and old apartment with noisy neighbours, constant loud arguments between a couple that lived next door could be heard. Shunan spend many night angry at himself for not being able to have anything better than this and angry at the world that offers no chance for him, someone from a humble family, who had studied hard to get into a good university and wanted a good stable job, to be able to possibly help his parents that had worked hard most of their lives. When Shunan entered his apartment , he noticed a big box by the entrance. ¡°What¡¯s this I didn¡¯t order anything¡± Shunan was too curious he couldn¡¯t help but open the box, at the top of the box there was a strange note and it said. ¡°Is your life not going as you planned?¡± ¡°Are you happy?¡± ¡°Do you want to go somewhere else?¡± ¡°What is this some trip advert¡± Shunan ignored the strange note and quickly tore open the box , to shunan great surprise there was a ¡°Destiny¡± console inside it. It¡¯s Destiny , I got one!¡± Shunan was so happy that he didn¡¯t even find it suspicious , that he had received a console from out of nowhere. He didnt want to waste any time and quickly plugged the console in the socket, then put the helmet console on his head and turned on the game. ¡­¡­ Nothing happened, Shunan was frustrated, he was extremely eager to play but he thought maybe this was a prank with a broken console being sent to him. he didn¡¯t want to give up he was restless and wanted to play at all costs and he kept turning it off and on again until it finally worked. All of a sudden Shunan could see a bright light being emitted in the inside of his mind. ¡°Its working!¡± Shunan said happily The bright light was getting stronger and stronger, Shunan was puzzled it was supposed to have started up already. Shunan decided to try and turn it off , but nothing happened the bright light was still getting more intense , then it suddenly turned off and everything went dark. ¡°What is happen-¡± Shunan said worryingly as he lost consciousness At the moment, in his old apartment , while everything was dark , Time came to a halt, all the world¡¯s clock stopped it, cars, people, everything stopped, the earth itself stopped. Shunan¡¯s body starting from the feet was slowly disintegrating like a chunk of data. It took about five minutes for shunan whole body to completely disintegrated , after it was done tima started again, the people continued hurrying along in the streets, the cars in the streets moved along again. The earth that stopped for a brief moment had again started moving. The pendulum of fate was slowly set to motion. The man called Shunan was forgotten. Chapter 1 - The Games World? Drip* arrrg, what happened A drop of water fell of Shunan face then he suddenly felt rather irritated. ¡°What is this? a leak?, this shitty apartment!¡± Then he angrily woke up and sat up and yawned, he felt a sharp pain in his back, then he noticed he had slept on rocky ground. ¡°That broken console short- circuited , I could have died¡± he lazily looked around and not really recognising it the place, he felt confused. ¡°Where the hell I am¡± Shunan questioned in vain. It was a dark and slightly damp place, it was most likely a cave, the only sound that could be heard was the waterdrops repeatedly splashing against the ground. Shunan then slowly stood up , he had absolutely no idea what to do. Then some text appeared on front of Shunan. Shunan was startled and almost fell back down on his butt. The text said WELCOME, SPECIAL ONE WE HAVE GIVEN YOU ANOTHER CHANCE IN THE WORLD OF DESTINY ENJOY YOURSELF. What Is this inside the game then? If i say stats will the stats window appear? ¡°Well, i didn¡¯t really have anything in that world¡± Shunan murmured to himself , he knew that it would be probably be dangerous, he could lose his life if wasn¡¯t careful, but returning to that weary life style of working day and night to the brink exhaustion for a petty amount of money , could only be worse than this. A confused Shunan desperately tried to digest the strange news he just had received. ¡°Well lets try it¡± Shunan was a bit confused yet curious so he couldn¡¯t stop himself from at least giving it a go ¡°Stats¡± immediately a window appears before Shunan containing his information. Shunan Title(s) - Special One Age - 23 LVL - 1 STATS STR - 4 DEF - 9 AGI - 22 INT - 48 LUK - 31 ELEMENTS WATER - 0 FIRE - 0 EARTH - 0 WIND - 7 LIGHT - 0 DARKNESS - 31 Skill(s) - |Creation Magic| |Unnatural Growth| Wow it really works , this is amazing. Lets have a look then Shunan was immediately disappointed upon seeing his stats , he always wanted to have a paladin character and now he lacked the strength and the agility to even possibly consider being a paladin. ¡°With such high Intelligence , it¡¯s best if I pursue a Magic related job¡± That when it hit Shunan , do jobs even have any importance now that he was inside the game itself. He had come to the conclusion that he was in a spawn place then he decided to walk straight ahead to see if he eventually found a village so he could understand more about his situation. Shunan hadn¡¯t noticed his was now wearing a worn out leather armor , and white pants as he carefully walked in hope of finding a exit of this cave. As he walked through the cave , he had grown a bit more accustomed to the dark and could see a bit more clearly. Skill Acquired - Night Vision Allows you to have better vision in the dark ¡°Oh a skill¡± Shunan was surprised , he had acquired a skill just by constantly walking in the dark. The cave was really broad and really deep , Shunan had been walking for about an hour and still there were not even a sight of a potential exit. Shunan said angrily ¡°Man , is there no exit?¡± Shunan was becoming rather frustrated with how he couldn¡¯t find a exit no matter how much he walked. ¡°Is that a Stair¡± Shunan suddenly noticed there was a stone stair that went downwards and it there were lanterns lighting the way down. a long way down¡­. ___ Shunan walking down the stairs, taking every step with maximum carefulness. Shunan had let his curiosity get the better of him , and without having any idea as to what was at the end of this stone stair, he walked down the stairs like he was lost in trance. Reaching the end of the stair , Shunan felt a relieved he was walking down the stair for what seemed like an eternity. When he looked around all his eyes could was darkness,Shunan could just about see that it was a pretty large place. ¡°Another Cave¡± Shunan said as he sighed Shunan sat down to take a rest from his constant walking , he felt tired but it was strange strange that after all this walking he didn¡¯t collapse from exhaustion , Shunan was never a outdoor type of person and he would normally feel extremely fatigued after only a few minutes of exercise, he was really stunned and thought it was probably something to do with him being in the game and all. ¡°Let¡¯s put things into perspective here¡± Shunan started to think for while, if he was really in the world of ¡°Destiny¡±. ¡°Stats¡± Shunan looking at his stats again , what interested him the most was that he had a skill,|Creation skill|, he didn¡¯t know what it was about but it sounded useful , but he decided to avoid using it for now. Also something else caught his eye but in a bad way, was that was other elements except darkness where zero, what did it mean?, the thought that maybe he couldn¡¯t use any magic element besides darkness , didn''t please him very much. Shunan then started to think about the situation he had been put in , if he was really in the world of ¡°Destiny¡±. Shunan felt extremely anxious, he had no information whatsoever about the world of ¡°Destiny¡±, and it seemed like his job and skill knowledge were going to be useless. Shunan couldn¡¯t find a easy way to get settled to life here. It was learn as you go for Shunan, he had no other choice. After being sat for over 10 minutes finally, Shunan got up stretched his himself for a bit then again he had set his destination and walked forwards with great care , he looked around to see if there was anything but as expected he couldn¡¯t see much, his night vision probably was too low level for him to able to see in such a dark place. ¡°Man I would love to have any source of light now¡± Walking a few more meters forward , Shunan heard a strange noise , he instantly stopped in his tracks and glanced at the direction of the noise. Shunan felt incredibly terrified , for him it was the first time in his life he felt so scared, he could clearly see 2 big red eyes shining in the dark staring at Shunan as if he was a food.

Hiss Hiss It was a big serpent , it¡¯s head was almost as big as Shunan entire body, it was slowly slithering its way towards Shunan. Shunan didn¡¯t know how to react , what could he do? Run, the serpent would most likely be much faster than him and it could see much better in the dark then he could. Shunan stared at the serpent , then he ran away as fast as he ever could not even caring about which direction he took, he didn¡¯t have any confidence that he could defeat a monster of that level at his current state. As he run desperately the serpent followed him and caught to him with complete ease, then opened it¡¯s mounts it poisonous fangs lunged at Shunan , Shunan tripped down in a rock a fell causing him to dodge the attack but it still grazed him in the shoulder causing a cut and blood immediately flowed down. Ahhh Shunan grimaced in pain as as he clutched his injured shoulder , The serpent had hit a rock and was staggered for a moment , Shunan without wasting a second ran away as the blood from cut flowed down. Shunan kept running in desperation , for more than 3 hours , he only stopped when his body couldn¡¯t handle the exhaustion , and he knees gave away and he fell. ¡°Did I get away?¡± Shunan was still scared , as he didn''t know why the serpent hadn¡¯t followed him, after a few minutes and no signs of the serpent appearing , Shunan relaxed and ripped up a piece of his pants to cover the cut and then he immediately lost conscience. BREAK 5 hours had passed , Shunan woke up but his body was in immense pain , his body ache all over , he was feeling extremely tired , he stood up and now he could see the more clearly Skill level upgraded - Night Vision Allows you to see in the dark Upon seeing the skill upgrade Shunan sighed in relief, now he could at least see where he was going. Shunan decided to rest some more , he body would probably still be sore but he needed to give his mind a rest, all this transportation thing and the serpent had almost blown his mind. ¡°I need to come up with some way to defend myself¡± Shunan murmured to himself , he was a mere level 1 , how could he possibly kill the serpent that was a stunning level 27. ¡°If i had killed that serpent, i would have probably gained a few levels¡± Shunan thought back at the serpent and tried to think if there was any way to defeat it. ¡°It¡¯s impossible at least for now¡± He quickly scratched that thought and stood up and carefully checked his surroundings , now that he could see much better than before he could understand a bit more of this lower cave he was stuck in. This cave compared to the upper level one was much bigger but it was much more narrow , its was covered in black rock that Shunan didn¡¯t know and he wasn¡¯t all that interested. After seeing there was no dangerous creatures , Shunan then continued his quest to survive and leave this cave and silently walked forwards. BREAK ¡°I am hungry¡± Walking through the cave, Shunan was by now getting hungry , but he didn¡¯t have anything he could eat , he would have to kill a monster to even after that he would have to be able to cook it, he didn''t know if cooking in this world depended on a skill level or the his actual skill in real life. ¡°Man, I will have to kill a monster otherwise i will starve here¡± Shunan said in a worried voice, he had no experience in actual fighting, in the other world he would avoid fights as much as possible , but now it was inevitable. In this world, he would have to fight to survive, there was no other choice. Soon after a few minutes , Shunan saw a bat that was about 50cm tall and it had black furry wings standing on the ground, it didn¡¯t react to Shunan, Shunan thought maybe that was his chance and crouched and started planning on how he could kill it. ¡°What can i do it seems to be resting¡± Shunan was carefully approaching the bat and it wasn¡¯t even moving it felt to Shunan that maybe it was dead. Shunan felt strange about how the bat wasn¡¯t even looking around , bats are supposed to be great at sensing their surroundings. Suspicious if it was a trap , Shunan picked up a small rock and threw it at the bat that was acting very suspiciously. Upon hitting the bat , suddenly the bat turned in a big mouth and ate the small rock in one gulp. After witnessing such a scene , Shunan was relieved he didn¡¯t just charge in like a idiot , after the mouth ate the rock it didn¡¯t turn back into the bat instead showed it true form , it was a carnivorous plant with red coloured dots all over it. It it had a big mouth but its stem was really short and small , Shunan instantly thought that he could possibly use that to that to his advantage. After 5 minutes of analyzing the situation , the plant was still there , it probably couldn¡¯t move due to its roots, he felt that he had a chance at killing the carnivorous plant. ¡°It¡¯s stem looks fragile but it¡¯s is probably quite tough, i imagine¡± Shunan didn¡¯t want to approach the plant , he wanted to use a long range attack , but he only had a small dagger with him. If only i had some offense magic , that i could use ¡°Maybe I can use |creation magic|¡± Shunan had decided to try and use magic , but he had no idea how. Isn¡¯t there some guide? Shunan thought desperately He stretched his hand thinking that maybe some magic would come out all he needed a sharp blade attack that could kill the plant That was when a blade made of darkness come out from his palm , and cut the plant in half , the dead carnivorous plant fell on the floor and green liquid flowed out from it. Level Up Level Up Level Up Level Up Shunan rejoiced for a moment only them to feel a huge pain spreading all over his body , he coughed up blood and rolled on the ground in complete agony eventually he lost conscience. Any mistakes Inform me I have already finished Chapter 2 , i am just checking it Chapter 2 - Dungeon? ¡°What happened?¡± Shunan woke up and held his head and flitched when he faintly remembered the horrible pain he had felt before fainting, it was like all his blood vessels were exploding and his head was being smashed by a sledgehammer. ¡°Was that pain a recoil from using that magic?¡± Shunan felt a bit fearful and reluctant to that magic and decided to avoid using it at all costs. Then Shunan finally noticed the level up notification , he was excited as he checked his stats. Shunan Title(s) - Special One Age - 23 LVL - 5 STATS STR - 6 DEF - 12 AGI - 32 INT - 57 LUK - 30 ELEMENTS WATER - 0 FIRE - 0 EARTH - 0 WIND - 7 LIGHT - 0 DARKNESS - 33 Skill(s) - |Creation Magic| |Irregular Growth| | Night Vision| Shunan was surprised that he had gained a four levels from a single monster kill , but he was a bit sad at the fact that he couldn¡¯t control the growth of his stats,so he couldn¡¯t select the path he would take in this world it was already predetermined for him. His Destiny was already set Shunan was still feeling light headed after all , but he decided to keep moving , he then started walking forward again. After a walking for while and not encountering anything , Shunan approached another set of stone stairs , he was stubborn and too unwilling to possibly consider turning back so he carefully descended the stone stair. I mean who is summoned directly into a dungeon No this is not a dungeon this is a cave¡­.I think Shunan had desperately tried to keep himself from the true , he knew this was probably a dungeon but he decided to call it a cave as to ease his mind. When he had finished descending the stone stair , this was rather different floor compared to the other too , it was filled with trees and grass covered the ground, and some faint noises could be heard from afar. Seems like this floor has more monsters than the previous ones I will have to be even more careful Shunan crouched and moved only through the tall grass, there were buzzing sounds coming from everywhere , Shunan looked all over but couldn¡¯t see anything , he felt that particular floor would probably be very troublesome. After a few minutes of carefully walking, There was a big tree with some strange looking fruit, Shunan was starving , he had not eaten anything ever since coming to this world , as he approached the big tree, he noticed three corpses lying beneath the tree, they were in late decomposition state,maggots all over the place,there was an enormous hole in their chest that looked it was probably caused by a very dangerous monster. Shunan wasn¡¯t accustomed to seeing dead people, the terrible image and that horrible stench. Made Shunan fall on his knees and puke out of disgust. After 20 minutes of puking , Shunan finally regained some composure and decided to check the bodies for anything useful. frisking thought two bodies, Shunan had found some healing potions and some fruits he could. When Shunan checked the third body , he had found a strange book. Wind Blade Element - Wind Grade - Liul A skill book Shunan was happy but he didn''t know how to learn the skill , in games most of time you just activate the skill book and the skills appear on your skill list. How do I learn it?? for now i will read it Shunan confused decided to try reading the book , after he finished the book a notification appeared before him. Skill Acquired - Wind Blade Creates a powerful blade made out of wind. Nice As Shunan looked at the skill acquired notification , he couldn¡¯t help but grin And it was from a element he had compability with, Shunan rejoiced he was extremely lucky to have found this skill book here. ¡°Maybe this Luck stat really works¡± Shunan after getting everything from the corpses , decided to try using his skill on the big tree, he pointed his palm at the tree and forming in his mind the image of the wind blade he said. WInd Blade A small gust of wind forming a blade come out of his palm and hit the big tree, leaving behind a small mark. It¡¯s not all that powerful Shunan sighed in disappointment, then he took some fruits from the tree, he didn¡¯t know if they were poisonous but decided to take them just in case. Of course, it wouldn¡¯t be powerful right at the start , i need to practice it Walking through the tall grass, Shunan had prepared himself to shoot out, Wind Blade if he saw any monster coming his way. Shunan after arriving at place where the grass was significantly smaller to before he could have a much clear view, then he saw a huge centipede with dark purple dots all over it¡¯s body , it was just casually passing by. Shunan was shocked at seeing such a big creature, he wanted to avoid it at all cost if possible, it seemed extremely dangerous. As Shunan was turning back the centipede glanced at his direction. Shunan was stunned , he stayed still and hope the centipede would just ignore him. But it didn¡¯t happen , The centipede crawled towards Shunan direction at a fast pace. Scratch that, this luck stat is a load of shit Shunan instead of running into the tall grass , he decided to run towards the centipede , then before the centipede could use her forcipules to rip shunan head off , Shunan jumped to side and shot out his skill Wind Blade at the centipede head and ran away at full speed. The Wind Blade cause a small cut in the centipede head , a strange coloured liquid started coming out. The huge centipede having missed turned around and rushed towards the running Shunan. This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Shunan had gotten used to running by now , he honestly thought he had run more than a marathon ever since coming to this world. The centipede was slowly catching up to Shunan, Shunan sensing it approaching stopped and tumbled to the side and shot out another Wind Blade at the centipede head. More of strange liquid started coming out of the centipede head , and the centipede fell back for a moment and Shunan smartly used that chance Wind Blade Wind Blade Wind Blade One cast of Wind Blade didn¡¯t do much damage , but it kept pilling up and the small cut on the centipede head was getting bigger and bigger after every Wind Blade shot by Shunan. Shunan didn¡¯t stop as he saw the centipede falling down and growing weaker and weaker , it¡¯s strange liquid was being splattered everywhere Wind Blade Wind Blade Wind Blade Wind Blade Shunan used it almost 20 times until he was almost exhausted, he then fell on his knees. the centipede had fallen down on the ground seemingly dead. Shunan not wanting to take any chances , cast Wind Blade three more times directly at the centipede head. As it hit the centipede head from it burst out an incredibly amount of the strange green liquid. Level Up Level Up Level Up Feeling disgusted by the liquid , Shunan used all of his strength to roll back and avoid being covered in the strange green liquid. Shunan then felt incredibly relieved, he had defeated a tough monster and gained a few more levels, he was full of joy. Thanks god, the centipede wasn¡¯t all that clever. After seeing the level up notification , Shunan immediately opened the stats window. Shunan Title(s) - Special One Age - 23 LVL - 8 STATS STR - 11 DEF - 21 AGI - 64 INT - 83 LUK - 30 ELEMENTS WATER - 0 FIRE - 0 EARTH - 0 WIND - 7 LIGHT - 0 DARKNESS - 33 Skill(s) - |Creation Magic| |Irregular Growth| |Wind Blade| Good, seems like agility and intelligence are my main attributes , well my body does feel much lighter, but does intelligence rise have any effect on my body? Shunan didn¡¯t feel more intelligent or anything , he knew his body had grown more agile but felt no different in terms of intelligence. But soon he felt it wasn¡¯t something worth worrying about , he was happy that¡¯s his stats were going up at a pretty good pace compared to his levels. He then decided he needed to find a resting place, so he kept moving slowly and carefully. BREAK Shunan had found a relatively quiet place , it was filled with trees and the grass was relatively short compared to what he had seen before he sat there underneath a tree and drank the healing potion that he had taken from one of the corpses. Then he took out the strange looking fruit , it looked like a coconut but it was blue , Shunan was starving so without even thinking about it he just gulped down the strange fruits he had gathered like a madman. I sure hope they are not poisonous After resting for a couple more minutes, Shunan had decided to depart, he quickly picked up his stuff and moved on. BREAK Shunan was carefully advancing , now he was at a field filled with flower, the flowers had various colour , blue , violet , red , pink. Then Shunan spotted the stone stair that led to the next floor, he hesitated for a moment then quickly went down the stairs. On the way to the flower field , Shunan had encountered a few small monsters which took some time to kill but eventually he killed them and had gained two more levels. Shunan was very satisfied with Wind Blade , it was a fairly weak technique but its rapid cast and how he could cast it numerous time before he felt any sort of fatigue were excellent , particularly because of his decent agility Shunan could to some extent avoid the monster¡¯s attack and wear them down with Wind Blade. After having descended to the next floor, Shunan attentively inspected it, this floor was extremely strange, first it was much clear and had light,Shunan didn¡¯t know where that light was coming from but decided to not pay attention to it, there was also a big lake that covered most of the area Shunan could see. As Shunan made his way along the lake shore, there was a thick fog that obstructed his vision heavily, he was walking around almost completely blinded if any monster attacked him now he would surely be in great disadvantage. whilst walking around the shore , Shunan leg hit on something , he was a scared but rather carefully touched, and felt a wooden structure, and thought it couldn¡¯t possibly be a monster. Is this possibly a¡­boat! Shunan to confirm that it indeed was boat touched it all over , and then after the fog had cleared a little he could see that it was an actual boat. It was a small wooden boat with Two big oars it seemed incredibly old, Shunan was a bit reluctant, as going into a boat meant he would be very susceptible to attacks from monsters. But he knew there was really no other choice, walking around in this thick fog would be even more dangerous, he got into the boat and sat in the middle, there really wasn¡¯t much space, three people seemed to be the max this wooden boat could possibly carry. Than the boat started moving the oars started rowing by themselves, Shunan was startled at first but felt then he it was quite impressive. How convenient ps Chapter 3 - by saturday or sunday
Any suggestion on how i can improve are always welcome Changed |Special Growth| To |Irregular Growth| Chapter 3 - Castaway? As the small boat slowly drifted along the lake, Shunan was carefully looking though his stats, having already given up on trying to scout around through the fog as it was completely useless, the fog was even thicker now than before. Shunan Title(s) - Special One Age - 23 LVL - 10 STATS STR - 14 DEF - 24 AGI - 73 INT - 94 LUK - 30 ELEMENTS WATER - 0 FIRE - 0 EARTH - 0 WIND - 7 LIGHT - 0 DARKNESS - 33 Skill(s) - |Creation Magic| |Irregular Growth| |Wind Blade| Shunan was stunned at the rate his stats were rising , and there didn¡¯t seem to be set number on how much stats increased after each level gained. I wonder if it¡¯s a result of the skill |Irregular Growth| Then the small boat shook just slightly, Shunan, who was deep in thought paid it no heed and continued his trail of thought. These guys from destiny are all sadistic, dropping someone straight into a dungeon and without any sort of information. The lake was starting to become quite agitated, and the small boat started shaking violently. Shunan had to quickly brace himself, he was holding onto anything on the boat for dear life. I can¡¯t even have a moment of peace in this place!! The once calm lake , was now resembling a sea at storm and Shunan being the unlucky castaway unable to do anything but hold on. Water was being splashed inside the small boat and was quickly forming a big puddle inside the boat , Shunan couldn¡¯t do anything about it and had to endure the cold water of the lake. The lake was going more and more fierce, violent waves were almost causing the small boat to tumble over. What the hell is happening I thought this was a lake , lakes shouldn¡¯t have a current A really big wave then hit the boat and it inevitably it tumbled over and Shunan fell on the lake , Shunan heavily struggled to keep himself afloat but it was all in vain, another even bigger wave came and slammed Shunan away. This place is really cr¡­ Shunan lost all his energy struggling and fainted. Break Shunan was unconscious lying down in a bunch of small rocks close to the lake, the lake had calmed down and the thick fog had also disappeared. It was completely silent. Ouch Shunan slowly opened his eyes and immediately sat up, his back was incredibly sore from having slept on rocks. his clothes were all dripping wet. ¡°Fuck , I am freezing¡± ¡°Is there any magic i could use to warm me up?¡± Shunan had rolled himself up like a armadilho and was trembling like crazy. ¡°This is not good, if this keeps up, i will get hypothermia¡± Shunan then got an idea. Shunan quickly stripped himself and laid his clothes down on a big rock beside him. I never thought watching those wild survival shows would actually help me Now for the difficult bit how can i get a fire going Shunan completely naked. Picked up some wood sticks that were scattered around all over the place , Shunan sighed inwardly, the wood was probably from the small boat that had been completely smashed apart. Next he piled up the wooden sticks and and picked up two smalls rocks and put all his efforts in rubbing them together to create a spark. Come on Shunan had rubbing the rocks for more than four minutes and spark came out but it just wouldn¡¯t set the wooden sticks on fire. AHHH* This is useless, it''s too damp here Shunan let out a frustrated cry and threw the small stones away, he had rubbed them so hard, that the palm of his hands now were all bruised and filled with small cuts. After staring blankly at the small sticks for a few minutes, Shunan was still frustrated, if it continued at this rate he would freeze to death. The blood from the small cuts was flowing down the palm of his hand and was slowly dripping into the pile of wooden sticks. I have to try and use magic Shunan slowly pointed the palm of his hand towards the small pile of wooden sticks. Please please please , I only need a small fire to warm myself up. Shunan desperately pleaded. Then suddenly the small pile of wooden sticks burst into flames , Shunan fell back in surprise. WOW , I am saved As Shunan felt the warm of the fire penetrating his skin , he felt like bursting into tears. But he imagined the scene of a grown man stark naked crying would be too traumatizing so he decided to hold his tears of joy back. But this is quite odd The fire was normal but it was completely black , Shunan was perplexed and concluded that it was maybe something to do with his main element being Darkness and decided not to worry about it. With his clothes dry, Shunan was enjoying the great feeling of warmth around the fire, he felt himself being thoroughly re energised. Shunan then put his clothes back on and glanced at his surroundings , this was the first time he actually paid full attention and inspected his surroundings. As he looked around the place was filled with massive rocks and small water streams that flowed their way down to the lake. Slurp Shunan felt a bit thirsty and drank some of the water than was streaming down. This water is¡­..so good He was astonished at how good the water was, it was cool and extremely refreshing, Shunan only intended to take a sip but now he was gulping it like down a thirsty dog. You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. Shunan¡¯s belly was a bit swollen after having drank so much water. I hope that contain my hunger for a few hours Okay time to move on Shunan was carefully walking in a ridge space between the massive rocks , he was uneasy and felt an eerie feeling coming from this place. This place is dangerous The path Shunan was taking through the bigs rock was getting more and more narrow , he was squeezed in and couldn¡¯t even stand upright and had to crouch down to continue moving along the small passage. As he steadily moved along crouching the place was filled with darkness, but he could see due to |Night Vision|, Shunan was really grateful for having such a useful skill. Its hot in here Then he passed through extremely damp place in the small passage, the humidity was high. Shunan was starting to sweat a lot and was already having difficulty breathing. Shunan wanted to move quicker, but he thought it would be too reckless and without knowing what awaited for him at the end of this tight passage, he couldn¡¯t possibly risk it. Finally Shunan then spotted a light, not too far away. He felt relieved, he was already suffering from a major headache and couldn¡¯t take any more of being in such a tight place. He suppressed his urges to just rush out and calmly and slowly moved towards the light. When he finally got to it, and looked out of the small hole. I feel my danger senses tingling There were various holes in the ground that were filled with water, Shunan could see the stone stair that lead to the lower floor not far away but he felt it was too strange and decided to test the waters first. Shunan picked up a small rock and threw it at one of the holes. BAAH A ugly murloc jumped out of the hole, it had dark purple skin and was about half of Shunan height, it was carrying a broken dagger, it stared at Shunan for a moment and then after letting out a battle cry it attacked. ARRG Shunan took out his sword and blocked the murloc attack, Shunan was sent back a few meters, the murloc had much more strength than him. Taking it head on seems like a bad idea I guess, i will have to try to outmaneuver it Before Shunan could come up with a plan on how to kill it , the murloc attacked again , it was very fast but its attacks were thoughtless. Shunan decided to dodge it this time and jumped off to the side and immediately shot out a Wind Blade at the murloc. Slash* It hit the murloc on the head opening a big cut on its left eye, a purple liquid started coming out from the cut. But to Shunan surprise the murloc didn''t lay off even for a second , it charged again towards Shunan, this time the murloc was even faster than before. Shunan desperately tried to block the murloc attack with his sword. Clink* Shunan was thrown back and hit a big rock, his sword blown away. The murloc again charged towards Shunan with it¡¯s broken dagger, Shunan rolled to the side and shot out Wind Blade again, this time he aimed it at the murloc¡¯s right leg. Slash* This time, Wind Blade had a huge effect , it had completely cut off the murloc¡¯s right leg , But Shunan didn''t want to commit the same mistake twice and avoid celebrating before confirming it¡¯s death. The murloc was still limping it¡¯s way towards Shunan. Then Shunan picked up his sword and carefully approached the murloc and with all his strength lunged it on the murloc¡¯s head. Level Up After confirming the death of the murloc , Shunan took out his sword and languidly walked towards the set of stone stairs That bastard, now my back hurts like hell However before he could get to the set of stone stairs. BAAH BAAH Two more murlocs jumped out, but they were smaller than the first one and were barehanded. I am really unfortunate Shunan sighed as he took out his sword that was covered in a purple liquid and the murlocs immediately attacked. They were much slower than the other murloc and they seemed to be cowering . Shunan dodged the both of the attacks with difficulty, he had a pained expression his back was in aching, but he knew he was much faster than these murlocs.. Wind Blade WInd Blade Wind Blade He carefully aimed at the both of the murloc¡¯s legs , as it hit and their legs were cut off, Shunan rushed with sword and pierced their heads. Level Up Glad that¡¯s over Shunan sighed in relief as he wiped the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead. I think I can go now Shunan then once again moved towards the stone stairs. He was extremely happy to finally be able to leave this floor, and without wasting a second he descended the stairs.
