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.

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.
