Sora began thinking to herself after all was said and done, she said, now staring into the water at her reflection, “Well, that was a little scary. I wonder if my level went up.” Sora then focused, and there in her vision was her stat card once again. ‘ Level 1 Human.’ Time seemed to stand still for a moment while Sora tried to figure out how the wolf died; taking a deep breath, she tried to remember what had happened after she screamed. A bright light then was all over, and to her amazement, she wasn’t hurt, cut or bleeding. That's insanely lucky! Just then, Sora could see Pookie was in a tall tree licking its lips, and when she called it, it came down from the tree.
Sora looked at Pookie and asked, " Why were you all the way up in the tree, huh?" Pookie tried to communicate what it had just witnessed as it began with its usual making noises. But before it got carried away, making the shrieks Sora in a strict tone, told it to, “Cut it out...Pooki” After Sora had said that, the creature had a sad look on its face, mimicking once again the look of a sad little puppy's face with big glossy eyes.
"Hmm, that is kind of cute. Sora thought to herself. Sora smiled at the creature and then proceeded to walk over next towards the wolf's dead body. Sora leaned over. Now taking a knee, she rolled the wolf over. Grabbing its massive body and throwing it over her shoulder next, she then started to retrace her steps back to the camp she had made. So much time had passed, and Sora just wanted to get to their campsite as the sun was again fading in the distant sky. Walking for some time, she saw the same fruit trees she passed earlier. Sora started grabbing some of the fruit on the way again to eat. With each step, the wolf was getting heavier and heavier. Sora was a frail thing, and she was getting tired of yelling at the deceased wolf, "Damn, your heavy!!!"
Sora thankfully did not need to walk too far with the heavy wolf over her shoulders, and it did not take long before she was back at her camp. Sora knew if she was going to eat this wolf, the Wolf still needed to be prepped, skinned and then somehow cooked after all, and Sora was no chef.
But at the same time, Sora was overcome with joy and emotions that she would finally be eating a real meal. Sora was just excited to be eating something besides berries. The more she dreamt of the taste of meat, the more over the moon she felt inside gradually warming up. It was not, in fact, as if the small berries and other fruit did not fill her up. It was just...Sora hadn’t eaten a solid meal in almost 2 days, and she was starting to feel drained physically. Her face had bags, and she looked a little sick from exhaustion. Plus, the taste of the fruit Sora had found was very bitter or super sour and was barely edible.
However, Sora was not ready to give up and die again. After all, she has only been on her adventure now in this new world for a few days, and if she, in his own words, “Couldn't defeat the new worlds tutorial or whatever.”
This was her fate, and she did not deserve to progress any further in the game, still thinking this was a game of some sort. Remembering his previous life's memories, but Sora was still unsure what he was doing here? After all, this was not a game? The skills kind of contradicted that belief, but she thought, maybe it's a form of magic? But yet her skills or magic did little for her in this previous combat situation or did they Sora couldn’t remember what she did for the life of her, muttering under her breath. I wonder if I can cast magic like fireballs. I have not tried; let us give it a shot.
Sora started reaching out with her right hand, now imaging a fire burning or something being fired. Sora then triumphantly yelled, “Firebolt, pfft" Nothing...? Lightning bolt? ‘Pfft’
Then Sora started to say in an upset, confused tone, “Maybe I am saying the spell wrong, or it's a different kind of magic here?” Next, Sora would try imagining a flame burning or a bolt of lightning striking, but nothing happened now; upset head down, she thought, ugh...Still, I guess my skills wouldn't be magic-oriented anyway, coming to think about it.
Sora realizing her luck was not actually worth much, cried out, “This is too much like my old world gets a skill only to find out its useless... Right there is no need to worry.” She shrugged. “I will progress on and it on my own I will learn the ropes and figure this out sooner or later, and I will succeed.” Now just remembering there was a giant on her back exasperated, having to haul this huge wolf Sora threw it down by the fire. Then she started to talk to Pookie, announcing, “Meats back on the menu!!” All the while, Pookie was flying around, not doing much of anything, as usual, enjoying its self. It did, however, try to land on Sora's shoulder like a bird in an attempt to cheer him up when the magic continued to fail. With a blood-thirsty grin on her face, she walked over to the wolf and tried to figure out what its loot was. To her surprise, when she touched the fang, it snapped off effortlessly.

Huh, that was, um, way too easy?!
Looking at the fangs now in her hand, she thought, maybe this is the "monster's" drop? Then Sora began thinking back to the skills she was given before being sent here. How one had stated "monster's" had drop's in its description, without putting too much more thought into it, she began involving herself back in her work and started to think. I need a weapon, and this tooth might work.
Looking around on the forests floor, Sora could not see anything useful she could use for a spear again; however, when she looked up at the large tree beside her, she spotted the perfect branch high in it. Sora sized up the tree and started climbing it to try and snap the perfect branch off for her new weapon. Thankfully she was naturally athletic, making quick work of the tree getting to the spot, and when she was located by the branch, she tried snapping it. Unfortunately, the hole branch gave out. When it gave way and snapped, Sora found herself falling down the tree with it in her hand. Hitting several branches on the way down, thoughts racing through her mind, Shit, why me! ‘snap, crackle crash.’
Landing on her stomach with the branch still grasped tightly in her hand, staring up at the tree she had fallen. Sora started looking at the large tree, saying to it, “That was rough; you could have bought me a drink first.”
Once Sora stood back up, she started to fashion herself a spear using a rock nearby to remove the bark from the stick. Sora tied the tooth to it with some roots from the same tree he'd fallen to act as rope. A lot of time had to have passed she began to think, but finally, she finished Sora cried out in the direction of Pookie. “I have made a spear. Mu-aha, look, Pookie!” Sora was extremely excited, and she began swinging it around like a madwoman or like a kid who had taken apart his mother's broom and used it as a whacking stick. Sora then turned his attention next to the wolf's body and separated its hide from its meat with his brand new spear, which made the task at hand a hell of a lot easier. Now she had to string up the meat to dry before it cooked. Hmm, what would work?"
Sora began to think; I could string it up with a group of roots so at least it would not get any more dirt on it. Sora had looked at few examples in the library once or twice, and he had watched a show or two about trappers; also, Sora had several good examples from the video games he used to play before becoming a woman and being sent here...With plenty of examples running through her mind, Sora did her best to improvise what she had seen from her previous life; just then, her eye began glowing.
"Martial arts I" The ability to defend oneself with unarmed combat means.
" Improvise I" Followup branch skill"Trans-mutate II" Trans-mutate matter onto created or crafted items." Unlocking... Improvised items. He began reading the description window that appeared,
‘Magical enhancement.’
Available from the skill tree. The durability of crafted items + or created items are transformed.
Hmm, what does that mean? Crafted or created items like my spear?
Then the description faded from Sora’s sight disappearing. Now looking at the strange creature who followed her around, she said, “Well, will just have to wait and see if anything happens this time, right, Pookie?” With a shrieking cry, it agreed.
Sora just finished stringing the hide and the wolf's body up, and the suns were now set as the moons began to slowly rise, gathering her things and looking for her spear. When she spotted it, she bent over to pick up her new weapon. Leaning on a big rock that had a black quartz stone running through it. When her right hand connected with the spear while her left hand touched the stone, her eye began to glow. A symbol appeared on it the ground, lighting up with a dazzling light display.
It began forming a circle with markings and symbols; the same strange symbols from the darkroom began appearing again, now this time on the spear. Finally, it began to glow, radiating all kinds of light, and his hand began to feel as if it was being burned. Slowly marking appeared onto the handle as they etched new markings. Now on the staff were these strange marks that the markings also showed on the ground. Then the light began to fade, and Sora’s sight returned in her left eye.
Sora was unsure what to think now, standing there left speechless thinking that it was something out of a movie or game with a triple A+ production team, or like when you level up and are absorbed in a beam of light. However, after the light show, she did not feel any stronger, a little drained mentally, but perhaps she was tired after all the excitement. The weapon now had gotten heavier and even looked a little different, she noticed. Before the handle was a plain stick, however, and now it had groves and a circle with strange markings on it upon looking at the spear further inspecting it. Also, Sora noticed the roots had become a thick rope; something was different something was new.
Is this what the skill means when the durability of crafted or created items is extended? But why did it change so drastically...
Looking at the weapon, now left in awe, Sora was startled by the turn of events; she began scratching her head confused. Just then, out of nowhere, Sora could hear a faint soft flute from a vast distance away.
