The Arcane Archer

Listening to the rain while doing so, I fell into a sort of temp as I was cutting and cooking all at the same time.

When I did finish it, I threw everything into my inventory for my future self to think about and clean.

I then spent the next 15 minutes just staring outside the cave and enjoying the nice pitter-patter of the rain.

"Man, if only I had some Lofi Beats to listen to while watching this. Though it is nice to have some peace and quiet while enjoying the rain, even though I did just get to this world 2 days ago... I hope that old man isn"t bored right now."

Eventually getting up, I stretched and decided to find something to do. Walking around the entrance of the cave which I made my home, the system decided to give me an answer to my problem.

[Quest: Explore more of the cave/base

Reward: Lofi Beats for the Rain

Do you Accept? Y/N]

I looked down towards the rest of the cave and contemplated if I wanted to go exploring. Pondering for a while, I eventually accepted it.

Moving over to where I was keeping some wood, I looked for a decently sized stick that I could use as a makeshift torch. Luckily enough, there was a stick right on top of the others that was perfect for the job.

Pulling out some leather that I cut horribly, I started wrapping it around the stick as I couldn"t think of anything else to use. When I thought that it was enough, I quickly casted {Flame} on it to light it up. A spark appeared on the leather and started to slowly spread all over.

Seeing this, I started walking into the cave as the flame grew bigger and brighter with each pa.s.sing step.

After 10 seconds of walking, the pa.s.sage started getting narrower and narrower until I had to eventually crouch down as if I was sneaking the entire time. After another minute or so, it started getting even lower and I had so start crawling.

At this time, I was somewhat scared that there was going to be some giant spiders or bugs that would fall on me. Though I wasn"t totally afraid of bugs back on earth, with the introduction of magic and fantasy my fear of a ginormous one appeared.

After another 3 minutes of crawling, I finally met my first bug.

Thankfully compared to what I thought was going to appear, it was just a simple spider.

Reaching out, I used my torch to squash it before continuing on my way.

Then it happened.

Spiders started to flood in.

I started swatting and batting at the spiders and killed as many as I could.

[Thanks to your adaptability, you"ve gained {Arachnophobia Resistance}. It"s now harder to be scared of spiders.]

"WOOPTY f.u.c.kING DO SYSTEM, I NEED MORE THEN THAT FOR WHAT I"M EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW!"

The spiders continued to crawl and eventually started making their way into my clothing.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, {Arachnophobia Resistance} has leveled up.]

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, {Arachnophobia Resistance} has leveled up.]

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, {Arachnophobia Resistance} has leveled up.]

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, {Arachnophobia Resistance} has leveled up.]

[Thanks to your {Adaptability} and constant usage of {Arachnophobia Resistance}, you"ve gained {Arachnophobia Immunity} and can no longer be scared by spiders.]

My mind upon receiving this skill immediately calmed down and stopped worrying about what was happening to much and started thinking of what to do about them. Eventually my mind came to a simple solution that I think anyone else would have.

"I"ll just burn everything!"

Using my mana and my prior experience casting magic without the help of the system, I spread out my interior mana and focused both it and the world mana all around my body as a type of aura. Then using my mana as the spark to kick start the spell, I whispered "{Flame Aura}" and my body rapidly covered itself in flames.

*You"ve taken 5 Fire Damage

*You"ve taken 5 Fire Damage

*You"ve taken 5 Fire Damage

*You"ve taken 5 Fire Damage

*You"ve taken 5 Fire Damage

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, you"ve gained {Fire Resistance}. You are now harder to be affected by fire and heat.]

All the spiders around me started burning up and my clothing started burning up as well.

[{Flame Aura} has leveled up! It is now even hotter.]

Seeing as the spiders were gone and that I had lost my clothing, I decided to press forwards in hope that there would be something good to replace my clothing as I would have to make my own and knew that with my c.r.a.ppy craftsmanship at everything, it would just be a disaster.

With my flame aura surrounding my body, I pressed forwards and eventually got to a opening that brought me to a bigger part of the cave that I could actually walk in. As soon as I stepped through and got up, the system gave me 1 Xp for killing a total of 1,000 spiders.

[{Flame Aura} has leveled up! It is now even hotter.]

Inside this more open part of the cave was a bunch of spider-webs that were holding a bunch of coc.o.o.ns on them. Walking forwards a couple of feet, I started hearing a bunch of scuttling further down the cave from where I was.

Avoiding all the web coc.o.o.ns and not even attempting to sneak cause of my fire, I eventually got to a opening with nothing in it but a singular giant spider on the roof.

"s.h.i.t. System, what"s my mana right now?""

[26 / 160 Mp]

"f.u.c.k!"

I quickly shut off my flame aura and ran to a nearby wall hoping that somehow the spider didn"t see me.

I took a peak around the corner but was unable to see in the complete blackness of the cave.

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, you"ve gained {Dark Vision} and are now able to see in pitch black areas.]

With the new skill, my eyes started to adjust and focus and eventually allowed me to see what was happening. Luckily enough with me getting this skill at this time as, as soon as it kicked in, I saw the spider slowly making its way down ever so quietly and making its way over to me.

Seeing this, I opened my inventory to get my bow but discovered that it was not there. My eyes widened as I realized that my bow burned along side my clothing and everything else that I had on me physically.

Looking around with slight panic, I tried to think of a way to kill this spider and escape now that it saw me and I knew that I had no weapons. It continued making its way to me until it got so close that it was in arms reach.

It"s mouth opened up as if to bite me and I realized that I can"t avoid saving up my mana.

"{Flame Aura}!"

The flames spiraled up around me and burned the spider"s face. The spider moved back away from me in pain and shook its head in an attempt to clear its vision and orientate itself.

*Surprise Attack! 68 Fire Damage to `Giant Spider`

Using this opportunity, I pointed to a flame nearby and cast a quick {Flame} to light it up. Immediately the webs caught fire and started burning rapidly as it was amazing fuel for the fire.

The spider seeing this turned its head away from me and allowed me to quickly run up to it.

While doing so, I quickly asked the system how much mana I had left and found out that it was only a measly 5 Mp which was not even enough to cast flame again which cost 10 Mp.

Turning off {Flame Aura} I continued to rush at the spider which quickly turned its head to me and started sauntering its way over.

"I hope this works!" I screamed at it

As soon as it was about to lunge at me, I slid downwards beneath is and reactivated {Flame Aura}.

I launched myself at it and grabbed hold of whatever I could. Using the last remaining amount of mana I had left, I forced all of it into {Flame Aura} and supercharged it as much as I could.

*7 Fire Damage

*7 Fire Damage

*7 Fire Damage

*7 Fire Damage

[{Flame Aura} has leveled up! It is now even hotter.]

At this point I felt like I was going to faint from exhaustion but I continued to force myself to stay awake and feed it mana I didn"t have.

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, you"ve gained {Mana Exhaustion Resistance}, you are now less exhausted from over use of mana.]

[Thanks to your {Adaptability}, you"ve gained {Mana Regeneration} by forcing your mana to regenerate so rapidly even though you have none left. You now regenerate mana much quicker.]

Skill after skill continued to level up as I did everything that I could to stay attached to the spider and feed my mana in {Flame Aura}. Both me and the spider were screaming as if we were a second away from death and whoever screamed louder would survive.

After what seemed like forever of constant screaming, skill level ups, and a good amount of crying, the spider eventually died.

[Congratulations for slaying {Giant Spider}, you"ve gained 50 Xp.]

[You"ve leveled up to Level 4! (Xp- 29/40)]

As soon as the notification appeared, my mind decided that I deserved a break and blacked out.
