Chapter 12 "Battle of the Snails"

Seth was lying on the gravel floor in complete darkness, his stats once again zero, after thoughtlessly accepting. Why did he not learn? He had done this once before, was he going to die like this? Before fear took him "" Seth Said, just to confirm that he really had fucked up, and seeing he had 20 unspent points, he at least could see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. He needed to make smart choices, he needed too not fuck this up or he may end up dead this time. He had just been too lucky so far. 

Carefully he looked through his information; the reason he still had 20 points unspent was that Native had turned into Evolved, doubling the base cost from 10exp to 20exp, but it would now siphon off 10% of any exp earned. But the experience already gained was still there, he could not say the same for the other professions, they all started at zero, and only Shadow-BattleMage was unlocked, the others were marked with [locked] and [Hidden]. First, he evenly distributed the point, adding an extra point to strength, dexterity, intelligence, and wisdom. He was a battlemage now and needed Health, Stamina and Mana evenly. He could not find his fire spell or light spell anymore instead he found and

He started feeling his way, unsure of what the next step would bring him. On the one hand, he had his pickaxe and everything else as if changing clothes in the castle never had happened. Looking around feeling the stats changing his body back to something movable again. He looked closely around himself, he could see small bluish-green lights around in the cave, but they were like stars on a cloudy night shy. He moved closer to one and could see that it was a snail, with its shell luminescent, Seth slowly made his way closer to one. 

"Fuck", Seth said as something bit him, 12 health points gone in an instant. He jumped back and it stopped bitting him, or it was more like a nibble to be more precise. It could not have been the snail or could it? Shit, how much health did he have? 37 total was the answer, and 25 left, it would only take about 2 more bits to kill him or maybe just once dependent on what happened. with a regen of 0,17 per minute, it would take, it would take, 100 minutes was 17 health points, and that made about an hour to be back up to health, that was not that bad had it not been for the fucker bitting him was still close by.

Thinking Seth used the most basic logic there was, glowy thing hurts don't be close to the glowy thing. Good logic, sound logic. But looking around himself, he could see a lot more "stars". And the only thing he had as a weapon was a pickaxe, trying to navigate past them Seth fell at times, tripping on rocks, the fifth time doing so he grabs a handful of stones throwing them across the cave.

Thirty-one more times, until he could not feel his way too more rocks close by, this must be how Sarah had felt, forced to feel her way through it, fearing the uncertainty of what was just outside of her reach, and lastly not being able to know what was close by without hearing it. Even if Seth had the "stars" around him, he was still afraid, and paranoia is always voicing its concern in the back of his head. It was terrifying and unpleasant. 

With this, Shadow-BattleMage had leveled twice, and Evolved once, giving him an additional 30 points.

He added 15 more points to his stats, now everything had 4 points except Constitution, Intelligence and Wisdom that had 5 points, and he brought

As he activated it and walked closer to one of the glowy snails, he could now see that he needed a little light to use the skill so that something cast a small shadow, and he could is the nasty rats walking and hunting inside the shadows. The price of using this skill was not even that bad, he had about 100 Mana, with 2,33 Regen, so he could have had this skill activated at all times had it not been for the stamina cost at five mana per minute. Were he had 87 total and a regen of 1,93 stamina per minute. The skill range incrested by 100% of its base every level, 10 meters radius, then 20, and so on.
