nWhen my Strength and Agility Attributes had the same Stats, I felt a strange sense of harmony.

nThen I could use all the untapped potential within my strengthened muscles. The rate at which I killed the Poisonous Spiders also increased.

nLv.2 Poisonous Spider Killed

nLV.4 Poisonous Spider Killed

nLV.2 Poisonous Spider Killed

nLV.3 Poisonous Spider Killed

nCongratulations! You have reached Lv.4

n5 Undistributed Stats are available

nMy Stamina and Spirit Energy was almost depleted from the prolonged battle. Moreover, a few of the lower levelled Poisonous Spiders bit me and my health continued to decrease.

nRight then, I noticed the Lv.10 Poisonous Spider, which was far from me, started approaching me.

nThis caused me to realize that it wanted me to have a battle of attrition with the lower-level Spiders and waited for the right moment to attack me when I got tired.

nMy eyes flashed with an icy glint, and I thought, 'Since you have come out of hiding, don't think about leaving.'

nI didn't care for pain and immediately used Undistributed Points and added 3 Stats to Spirit Attribute and 2 Stats to Endurance Attribute.

nUndistributed Points: 5 ➝ 0

nSpirit: 13 ➝ 16

nSpirit Energy: 8

/65 ➝ 23

/80

nEndurance: 18 ➝ 20

nStamina: 18

/90 ➝ 28

/100

nCongratulations! You obtained the Skill, Lv.1 (Uncommon) by reaching 20 Stats in Endurance Attribute.

nLv.3 ➝ Lv.4

nLv.4: Resistance towards Physical pain increases by 4%.

nDuring that instance, my body froze for a second, and some spiders bit me. Still, when I intended to add all Stats at once, I expected an opening in my defence to happen.

nI didn't think the poison of the lower level Spiders could be lethal in the short term, unlike the Lv.10 Poisonous Spider from which I had to be wary.

nIn the spots where I was bitten, the pain was piercing and of the elevated sort, as if someone had fired multiple staples on my skin at once.

nWith the increase in Stats, I felt my Stamina and Spirit Energy recover by a bit and used the Stage-2 Sword Aura's new perk, .

nThe Cyan coloured Sword Aura extended for a meter on top of the and looked like an extremely sharp 1 and a half meter long Sword.

nI used the with all my Strength, and it got hit on the head and died instantly.

nWhen it died, its head was split apart into two pieces, and blood splashed over my sweatshirt's right sleeve.

nI immediately tore the sleeve apart and threw it as I felt a burning sensation on my right shoulder.

nEven then, a portion of skin on my shoulder was burnt. I added some ground mud to the wound to cool down the burning sensation, removed my boxing wraps, and tied it around my shoulder to reduce the burning sensation.

nLv.5 ➝ Lv.6.

nLv.6: Resistance towards Physical pain increases by 6%.

nI was glad that I decisively used the instead of merely coating Sword aura on the .

nIf not, I would have been poisoned by the Lv.10 Poisonous Spider.

nLv.10 Poisonous Spider Killed

n250 Life Energy Obtained

nCongratulations! You have earned an Achievement Title, (Common) by killing many Spiders of Lesser Arachnid Species.

n__________________________

nLesser Arachnid Hunter

nEffect 1: All the lesser Arachnid Race will fear you and Higher races of Arachnid Species will be aggressive towards you.

nEffect 2: Increases all Poison related abilities by 10%.

n___________________________

nOnce I activated the new Achievement Title, all the Poisonous Spiders around me started crawling away as if they were facing the nemesis of their race.

nBut it was good that I got this title; even though it made the higher races of Arachnid Species aggressive towards me, I didn't care much about it.

nOnce I was able to use my Looted Stats, they had to rethink their aggressiveness towards me.

nAfter using the with full power, my Stamina and Spirit Energy were at their lowest that I had ever seen.

nStamina: 2

/100

nSpirit Energy: 1

/80

nI felt so tired that I wanted to sleep there itself but tried to suppress my fatigue, and with exhausted breaths, I plucked a and ate it.

nMy condition improved instantly, and I plucked another fruit.

nStamina: 27

/100

nWhile eating the other , I looked at my legs where it's paining, and there were a few bite marks, and the poison was slowly spreading.

nI didn't worry much about it since I already found that these Poisonous Spiders had Skill. With that, my Health Points stopped plumetting.

nHealth: 64

/110

nUnlike the Lv.10 Poisonous Spider, from which I couldn't find what Skills it had, I was able to look at the Skills and Stats of Lv.2 Poisonous Spider since my Skill was Lv.2.

nI activated and looked at the Lv.10 Poisonous Spider.

nChoose one of these to LOOT from the dead Lv.10 Poisonous Spider.

n{1} Lv.10 (Common): Ability to turn your blood into a Poisonous substance and its potency depend on Skill Level.

n{2} Lv.10 (Common): can leap 50 times of your body length by using blood fluids.

n{3} Lv.10 (Common): Resistance towards Poison increases by 10%.

n____________________________

nThe Skill was needed then, and the Skill looked pretty useful. Still, the Skill caught my attention.

n

"I should have an escape card with me in case I come across a monster that is stronger than me.

", I mumbled to myself.

nActually, In that instance, what I needed was the Skill. Still, I intended to Loot it from a lower levelled Poisonous Spider.

nFinally, I chose Lv.10 but did not merge it yet.

n10 Stats Looted

nLv.10(Common) Looted

nI started looking through all the other Poisonous Spiders, and all of them had the same Skills, but they were lower-levelled ones. I tried to use 'LOOT' on all the spiders simultaneously, and it worked.

n114 Stats Looted

nLv.5 (Common) Looted

nLv.5 (Common): Ability to turn your blood into a Poisonous substance.

nLv.5 (Common)

nLv.5 : Resistance towards Poison increases by 5%.

nWhen I looted all the Skills I could, only the ones with higher levels in each Skill remained. I hoped for the same levelled Skills to kind of combine and level up but that was me being too greedy.

nWhile eating the fourth Lesser Stamina Fruit, I noticed a pair of Black boots beside the dead Lv.10 Poisonous Spider.

nI was sure that they were not there before, So I used on them, and a notification appeared.

nLv.2 (Common) ➝ Lv.3 (Common)

nAfter using the Skill, , so many times did it finally levelled up. I wondered how long it would take to level it up again, and I was excited to find a Spirit Item. It even increased Agility Attribute by 5 Stats.

nI guessed the might be some reward from the System for killing the Lv.10 Poisonous Spider.

nI quickly held the , and a notification for forming a bond with Spirit Item appeared.

nDo you wish to form a bond with (Common)?

nI agreed to it, and a similar notification to when I activated the Achievement Title, appeared.

nWarning: Sudden increase of 5 Stats in Agility causes severe pain.

nDo you wish to proceed in Safety mode?

nIn Safety Mode, Stats will be added slowly in a periodic manner so that your body can easily adjust to its improvements.

nI accepted the Safety mode and wore the . After that, I plucked as many fruits as possible and carefully returned to my tree hideout.
