Chapter 1 Skill Extraction(1/2)
The border of the world, beyond the mist.
Raqqa forest
The scorching sun is already hanging in the sky, spreading its light towards the earth.
In a dense forest, the midday light can only cast thin beams of light blocked by the branches and leaves.
"Click"
A huge spider-like insect over 1 meter in size was eating something. The sound of eating was accompanied by a fishy smell, filling the air with a fishy-sweet smell.
On a branch not far away, there is a young man hidden among the dense leaves.
He was the hunter who dropped the bait to ambush the giant insect.
I saw him slowly pulling out an arrow from his waist and placing it on the bow arm.
"Eagle Eye"
A brief incantation whispered from his mouth.
After saying that, he quickly drew his bow and shot the arrow at the spider.
"Whoosh"
The sound of a sharp arrow penetrating into flesh was heard, which was proof that it hit the target.
The flying arrow stuck firmly in the gap in the carapace of the spider's head.
The carapace covering the whole body has to create some gaps in order for the joints to move.
It is these gaps that have become its weaknesses.
"Hiss!"
A harsh scream came from the spider's giant claws, and its eight limbs were waving around wildly and struggling.
The power brought by the struggle caused fallen leaves and sawdust to scatter around. The instinct of survival began to make it want to leave this place of right and wrong.
However, the running, struggling and screaming did not last long. After a while, the area became quiet, and the huge carapace spider could be seen huddled up, with the carapace on its body still protecting it tightly.
Of course, the feather arrow stuck in the gap on the head is also particularly conspicuous.
Maybe it has been taken away by this arrow.
"Whoosh"
Another feather arrow was fiercely inserted into the gap in the spider's head, but apart from being shaken by the impact of the arrow, there was no movement.
branches swaying
A boy who looked about 16 years old jumped down along with the fallen leaves.
He is Kane, Kane Laverne.
He has short black hair and holds a shiny hunting bow in his hand. It seems that its owner must cherish it very much. He is wearing a brown-green hunting suit that is easy to move and hide in the forest, and on his back is a pot of exquisite feather arrows.
What caught people's attention was the pair of eyes with eagle-like pupils that glowed slightly green, but once they opened, they returned to human eyes with blue pupils.
The young man slowly touched the body.
He slowly came to the corpse and squatted down, confirming the death of the prey again and again and confirming that it was already a corpse.
Kane removed a pillar-shaped copper-colored gem from his neck and placed it on the body.
"absorb"
After speaking, a faint shimmer began to float on the corpse, pouring into the gem like grains of sand, and the remaining transparency in the gem was quickly filled with copper color.
The giant spider's body obviously hasn't changed much, but it gives people the feeling that it is no longer "powerful".
"Beautiful! It's not in vain that I spent a week tracking down and hunting this copper-colored magic forged spider."
Looking at the columnar gemstone in his hand that had been filled with copper color, Kane said with joy and satisfaction.
He took out his hunting knife and quickly peeled off the carapace from the body and put it in his bag.
This is a good thing, don't waste it. This one is worth 16 gold at least.
certainly
Forged Armor Spider: For others, this forged armor is the only trophy, but for Kane, it is just a by-product.
His main prize is the energy generated by the fragments of souls mixed with magic after the death of creatures.
He was an ordinary office worker on Blue Star who would go home after get off work, play games, watch TV shows, and catch up on TV series.
Unexpectedly, when I came home from get off work one day, I just turned on the computer and wanted to play a game, and suddenly my vision went dark, and the person left peacefully.
In a daze, he just thought about how tired he was.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already a 14-year-old boy, born in another world, surrounded by unfamiliar faces.
"But I have been in this world for two years, and this world is not bad. After all, it is a place with magical power."
Thinking of this, Kane put his hand on the gem hanging around his neck. This was the prop in the game he was playing when he got home from get off work, the magic stone.
His cheat finger, or system, is the same system as the character controlled by the player in his game.
【Book of Adventure】
Game designers design objects to rationalize the player's system and background.
To activate and use all functions, you need filled magic stones, and the book will produce blank magic stones.
Rely on the magic stones produced to absorb the energy of the killed creatures.
These magic stones now allow him to extract useful skill stones from the system for him to use.
Of course this is just the basic use.
Kane pinched the magic stone, and characters appeared in his sight instantly.
[Copper-colored Magic Stone*1]
[A copper-colored skill stone can be randomly selected]
【whether】
"yes"
【Extracting...】
[The girl is praying...]
【Finish】
The magic stone disappeared in Kane's hand, and a copper piece the size of a square coin appeared in Kane's hand.
Stare at the skill stone in your hand and start looking at its introduction
[Name: Spider Nest Weaver]
[Category: Active Skills]
[Color: brass color]
[Included: Jet hole 2]
[Explanation: Spend magic power/stamina to eject spider silk from the jet hole. The strength of the spider silk is determined by the energy spent, but there is a certain limit]
[Introduction: In the dark spider nest, weavers are an indispensable member of the empire. They will always be the pinnacle of spider silk art in the empire, weaving the continuity of the empire]
This is the first skill he picked up after coming to this world, and now he is itching to try it out.
But this is not safe now.
Forget it, I'll go back and slowly check what my ability is. It's better to hurry now, otherwise more dangers will come.
…
The sun was half hanging, slowly setting towards the mountainside, burning half of the sky red.
Dusk falls
The gate of Kara Town is open, welcoming all those who need to rest here at night. After all, it is not very safe to stay in the wild at night.
Kane appeared at the entrance of the town carrying a sheepskin bag.
"Hey! Kane, how are you? I see you've been busy for a week, and you haven't found your prey yet?"
On a wooden post standing at the entrance of the town, a sturdy middle-aged militiaman holding a spear shouted to Kane.
"This is my prey, Uncle Gemu"
Kane patted the cloth bag on his back to signal.
"Oh! Bless the mist, then next time you are in the tavern, you have to tell us about your hunting trip this time. This took the top hunter in Kara Town a whole week, hahaha."
"Haha, okay, I'll go back to Uncle Gemu first."
"Okay, go quickly, look at you covered in mud."
Farewell uncle
