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 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.

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.
