"I hate spiders." Lucy says with a terrified look.
(swoosh)
"Where did the spider go?" Lucy asks as she starts looking around.
The spider jumps from the shadow, directly at Mikey.

Mikey roundhouse kicks it without even looking in the spider's direction and sends it flying away.
"How did you do that?" Lucy asks surprised.
"I don't know, my attribute most likely." Mikey answers. "Let's finish it off before it can regenerate." Mikey adds.
"Uhhh, can't we go back? I really hate spiders, they're so nasty, and this one is just way too big." Lucy says.
"You can go to the ship if you want. I am going to kill it. There might be a survivor on this island." Mikey replies.
"A survivor? Here? No, no, no. If there was a survivor, then THIS THING wouldn't be here." Lucy responds.
"Hmm, that's a good point. However, I still want to kill it, my instinct is telling me to do so." Mikey says as he rushes off to the direction where the spider went.
"What the hell? Hey! Wait for me!" Lucy shouts as she follows Mikey.
(A few minutes later)
"See? It dissapeared, let's go back to the ship, okayyyy?" Lucy starts dragging Mikey back to the ship.
"Heh, are you sure?" Mikey points above them.
"No, please be joking." Lucy says all spooked as she looks above herself. The same spider from before is staring at Mikey and Lucy. It's staying on a web that it created.
Lucy's hair turns red, she's about to throw a fire spell on the spider. Majo grabs her hand and says.
"Don't use a fire spell you idiot, we're in a forest."
"Oh crap, good point." Lucy's hair turns blue, she creates a big waterball and sends it at the spider.
(swoosh)
Shit! It dissapeared again? Mikey thinks to himself.
[You have activated an ability of the "Blind Fighter"]
Mikey once again attacks in the direction of spider, but this time, the spider dodges Mikey's attack and dissapears again.
It expected my attack this time, is it intelligent?
The spider comes flying at Mikey from above.
[You have activated an ability of the "Freestyle Fighter"]
Mikey jumps up and comes flying at the spider with a flying kick.
(swoosh)
Not again.... "LUCY! I AM GOING TO NEED YOU TO CUSHION MY LANDING!"
Lucy's hair changes white as she casts a spell. The wind that she creates helps Mikey land relatively safely.
"Sorry, I didn't know how much power should I put into it." Lucy says as the spell's backlash lightly cuts her cheek.
"I should be sorry here, I didn't expect the spider to dissapear while in midair, I didn't account for the fact that I would need to land on the ground after using my attack." Mikey responds as he starts looking around for the spider.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
[You have activated an ability of the "Adaptive Fighter"]
Mikey's eyes change.
"Do you see it?" Lucy asks. Her hair is glowing brown, she's preparing an Earth spell.
"No, but stay on guard... I can feel its presence." Mikey answers as he pulls out The Duskblade out of his inventory.
(A few seconds later)
BOOM! An explosion can be heard not too far from Mikey and Lucy. They look at eachother and quickly rush over to where the explosion came from.
They come at the site of the explosion and see a big crater. There's spider parts scattered around the place. There's no denying it, the spider exploded. But why? Who did it? Is what Mikey is thinking right now.
"Is that a person?" Lucy asks Mikey as she points at the center of the crater. There really is someone there.
They come up to the person, it seems to be a young man, he's inspecting the spider's parts.
"Ehm, ehm." Lucy makes a sound to draw the attention of the young man.
He turns around and looks at them. He has number 11 above his head.
"Oh shit! Humans?!" He shouts. He was so invested in the spider that he didn't notice them at all until now.
His appearance is quite interesting. He's wearing red pants and a red hoodie that are made out of high quality silk.
He has short white hair with a messy hairstyle. His left eye is green, and his right eye is closed. That's probably because there is a large scar going right through his eye. The scar doesn't look new, rather looks like something that he had for a while.
Lookswise he is handsome, not as Mikey, but still very handsome. There can't be much told about his figure as his hoodie and pants are both oversized, covering his body completely.
"How did you guys get here?!" He says. "I thought I was the only one left on this island..." He adds.
"Only one left?" Mikey asks. "There were more of you?"
"Yeah, there was three of us at first, however that changed quickly..."
(Day one on this planet)
"What's that thing?!"
"Run away from it!"
The young man is watching a middle aged man and a young woman running from a huge black spider.
"Argghhh! RUN AWAY!" The man shouts as the spider starts eating him alive.
It's eating him? Spiders don't do that... what's going on here? The young man with white hair asks himself as the woman runs away while the spider is occupied with the middle aged man.
(One day later)
The man with the white hair and a scar on his face managed to find drinkable water along with some edible fruits. He also started farming with seeds that he found. He is tracking the woman which ran away.
"These tracks are fresh, she can't be too far from here." The man says.
"HELP ME!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!" The woman screams from far away.
"Shit." The man says as he starts rushing towards where the the scream came from.
When he arrives, it's already too late...
The spider was eating the woman alive. She managed to injure it with a stone sword, but it wasn't enough. She is screaming for help and cursing the gods for putting her through this.
Well shit, I am surprised she made it through the night with just a stone sword. Too bad I couldn't save her. The man thinks to himself as he starts sneaking away from there.
At this point he had an "armour" that he created. This armour was making him completely blend in with the surroundings. He was able to survive the night with this and a stone dagger by assasinating all the monsters that were too close to him.
(Back to present)
"And that's more or less how I survived until we received our attributes." The man finishes his story. "What about you guys? How did you get here, what's your story? You also seem to be really strong considering the fact that your ranks are so high." He says without showing a single sign of being intimidated or scared.
"Well, we have a ship, and we are looking for survivors around all these islands." Mikey says. "Both of us spawned on islands too, we are going to the closest continent once we visit a few more islands." He adds.
"Can I join you?" The man asks.
"Yeah, what's your name?" Mikey asks.
"Zoro, my name is Zoro." The man says. "Mikey, nice to meet you." Mikey says as they shake hands.
"I am Lucy, nice to meet you." Lucy says.
"Nice to meet you guys too. Thought I was screwed on this island." Zoro says.
And this is how Zoro joined Mikey and Lucy on their way to the closest continent.
