Ah! Hello! Now, You've probably been wondering... what kind- of class Kris will get, right? Well... he will be (totally not cliche) a speed class that specializes in flash movement attacks. Attention, he won't be a rogue, or a thief, or an assassin or whatever those speed types are. I plan to give him a very stupid class name, but it will be very unique... nothing about bombs! Nope! Not a thing about bombs this time! I'm just enjoying the fact that I've made it to over 120 followers and over 25 favorites! As a reward, I'll drop a big bomb at the end! (no not the explosive kind)... Enjoy!
----------------------------------------
-Presently-
"HOLY FRUPPING CHEEZITS!!!"
Now, you might ask why I am screaming right after popping open a rubber ball. Well, the thing is, IT FREAKING EXPLODED... in my face. To make it worse, there was confetti and glitter in it.
Nothing can surprise me now... I guess I'll just first see what this is... I notice the stuff on the ground, Hmm... there's package... 2 cans... 1 large plastic sealed bowl that looks suspiciously like instant ramen, and a letter?
I open the letter first. And start reading:
Dear, A certain White haired brat,
1. If You are reading this, then it seems that you have survived the [Fluffflowers] and the [Hippopondos].
2. You're probably wondering why your good, kind, noble grampy dropped you into that monster valley, right? Well, I'm pretty sure you won't die, and good experience for you too!
3. Be grateful that we have sent you some provisions. You get some clothes, 1 survival canister, 1 bath in a can, and 1 instant stroodle bowl.
4. Also, try the spell [Inventory], our researchers told us that the summoned have this unique spell!
Best of luck! Sincerely, The Demon Lord
"..."
"Nothing surprises me anymore... and I don't care anymore..."
Is what I said... but the next time I see that Gramps ... I'll fruppin kill him!
First, I try the [Inventory] spell. It's pretty convenient, and I'm sure it'll come in handy in the future. As expected, it was a 10x10 grid. I experimented with the grass and it seems that you can actually stack items of the same type in 1 box. After messing around for a while, I realized that you can only stuff 99 of the same type of object in a box... huh, well, I guess I'm really grateful for this!
So I am using this shower in a can... And it seems that it's actually containing a bubble of water? I mean, It's like... water... but it's also a bubble... At any rate, It was actually really refreshing to use that water bubble, It was really, really refreshing... it was like sitting in a magical bubble of water... yeah... that's the perfect depiction of it ... oh.... wait... Never mind...
After my "shower", I took out the package, and opened it. Hmm... there were some plain black jeans? ... but the inside was kind of soft and flexible yet also really sturdy... Hmmm also... there was a short sleeved black hoodie. Huh, I guess it did make sense to wear these If I was going to be part of some assassination squad of some sort... oh wait, what are these belts? Hmmm... it seemed like... a normal comfortable belt.. I mean, It did have these two wierd contraption wheel thingy's but... whatever. I put all the stuff on, and I looked actually pretty cool! Except for the boxers... for some reason the boxers had oranges on them... Ahem! Anyways...
" *GROWWWLLLLL* "
My stomach... come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything since I was summoned into this seemingly amazing world... wait... how is my stomach so loud?
"Huh, ..."
"Wait... I'm actually not hungry..."
"Sooo what was that sound?"
I slowly turn my head hoping against whatever force that decided to curse me. Huh, It's another one of those Hippo things... huh. Wait, Hippos are herbivores! Yeah... that's right... I don't need to worry... maybe I can be friends with it!
Unfortunately, it seems that not all things in this otaku-dreamland are "awesome" or "Cool".
"ROAAAARRRRGHGHGHGHGHGHHHHHH!!!"
"Um... uh... nice to meet you hippo... ummm... uhhh... what are those extremely sharp teeth forrrr? Uhh... nice knowing you... BYEEEEEEEE!!!"
I start sprinting. Needless to say I gained lots of more ground across the plains due to my stats. Well, actually, it wasn't really umm... running... It was more like, dashing. Some sort of instantaneous movement. But of course, this meant that I could not do a super marathon across this wide valley. There were some other Hippo somethings around and I wanted to take care of it smoothly. On the other hand...
"WHY DA HYELL IS THAT FAT HIPPO SO FAST?!?!"
At this rate... It'll catch up to me and I'll die!
Okay, I'm still going at a steady pace, so that hippo thingy won't get me for at least 10 minutes! First, take stock and analyze the situation!
Lessee! I can't just blast my mana out of my arms like last time! At the time, I was falling from 50 meters up! If I do it at the hippo, It'll 1. Mostly likely kill it which is good, but 2. It will probably dislocate my shoulders, and send me flying through the air due to propulsion!!!
Hmmm... gotta make it so that I don't die... or at least so that I don't get hurt... gotta make the power... concentrated?
Ah! I know! I read a manga where this defunctional super strength guy just puts all of his super strength into 1 finger so that he can minimize the damage of strain on his body! I try putting mana into my fingers... but to my surprise, a weird colored string of came out! What da hyelllllll!!! Am I a frupping spider or something?!
As I finished experimenting with this, it was actually quite comical, me making cats cradles while experimenting with my mana string while dashing across the plains, and then a huge hippo chasing behind me.
Ah. Got it. My legs are at their limit... but I found a loophole in my
[Arcane Mana Manipulation]! If people can materialize mana into fireballs and smit, then I can too! It just has to be within one inch of me! So I can just start pouring mana into the mana string that I made... then condense it... tada! It's only a string, but it's still pretty impressive! And onse it's condensed to a certain degree... Boom! It solidifies! And once it does that... even if I cut off the supply of mana from me to the string, it will last for a degree of time!
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
Kay!~ I have exactly 60 seconds before I run out of stamina! Taking stock... Mana string, Some kinda dash movement, superhuman strength... heh, the next course of action should be ob-vi-ous~.
I turn around, and prepare for the incoming charge. Hmmm... alright. First, I quickly make some mana string, tie it to a nearby tree, hmm... maybe... yeah. I make use of my instantaneous movement, and make a lonnggg string of mana! Then, I dash around sticking parts of the mana onto different trees and the ground around me, what resulted was a trap that I had seen in an anime. It was supposed to be made of wire string and once the target charged into it, they would get cut to pieces!
"Ahahahahaa!!! Come and get me ya stupiiiiid stupiiiiid hippo!"
I stood in front of the Hippo monster, and of course let it charge right through me. Ya know? I thought it would be pretty hard since I had no experience bullfighting or whatever, but thanks to my instant movement instinct, the hippo-thing safely charged into the wire trap without a hitch...
Or so I thought, apparently... hmm... the mana strings are nooooot sharp...at all. Like, they only got the hippo tangled. Ugh... well... I can try to light a fire under it? It's a good idea, but I don't have anything to cut up the hippo meat with...
Suddenly, a window appears before me!
It seems you have an affinity for either one of the 2 classes!
1. Light weaver:
Your strings of mana will carry the power of healing, light, and life!
2. Shadow weaver:
Your strings of mana will carry the power of attack, and shadows!
Take a pick!
Shadow Weaver || Light Weaver
Oho? Well, both are useful, but just thinking about the coolness factor, it would definitely be better to weave shadows... plus, I can't kill anything without a weapon here, so here goes!
I select...
[Shadow Weaver]. (duh)
*ding!*
You have selected Shadow Weaver!
You have gained + 10 to dexterity, and +10 to speed!
Take note, this class prevents you from using any other magic aside from you new active skill, [Shadow Weave]!
Ahhh... glad thats over... Hm, as if I had done this a thousand times, I had total control over my strings, they had turned an ominous black color, but also seemed a bit... not there... as if... it was a shadow? Hmmm... I move the strings around and as if I had known all along, will them to change shape. It slowly whirled, and condensed... into... a dagger? You could see that it was made of strings, but it really was a dagger.... Time to test it out!
----------------------------------------
Hour later...
Whew...! It took me a lot of hard thinking to learn how to manipulate those strings! And now, I have finally killed the hippo-thing. Hmmm It was a monster... and I did get an exp notification... but I guess I'm still not used to it. Well, now, I have a hunch what to do with those contraptions on my belt, but we'll see!
I take a look at my new class:
You have selected Shadow Weaver!
You have gained + 10 to dexterity, and +10 to speed!
Take note, this class prevents you from using any other magic aside from you new active skill, [Shadow Weave]!
"Wait..."
Take note, this class prevents you from using any other magic aside from you new active skill, [Shadow Weave]!

"DAMMITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!"
----------------------------------------
-Back upstairs-
"Hahhh... I wonder what happened to that brat... "Did he figure out the catch to the class I led him to take? Whelp, whatever, time to PARTY!!!"
(Demon King)
----------------------------------------
Little did Kris know... that this would be the start of a battle-legend later on... of the Demon Hero: "Shadow Weaver" and of his achievements during the [Great Mana War]
But that's for another time!
----------------------------------------
Well, I think I'll find drawings and pictures of Kris's equipment, and also give you guys an explanation on his "weaving" skill. Also, even though I believe I did a good job, I get the feeling I'm wrong, so please put in a triple dose of criticism! Also, tell me if you like to seperate the story with lines like this, or back to star things. (bombs away)
