Chapter Six: Get lucky

I took my time walking back to the small stream from earlier.

My stomach made a loud noise and I realized that I was starving.

I began to pick small dead branches and put them into my inventory.

I looked at the window again and saw that I gained some stuff from my 3 level ups.

<2 Lottery tickets>

<17 Stat points>

<1 silver coin>

I arrived at the stream and took out the wood and a single match from my ring.

While I started that fire I began to think about a few things.

'Seriously... the distribution of stat points is really random. I expected it to be 5 each level or something but I guess not.'

And... what the hell am I going to use a silver coin for? I need food!!

As the fire got hotter I took out the dead carcass of the deer.

Skinning took a really long time and I did a pretty sloppy job out of it.

I made the decision on how to spend my points during this time.

I opened up my status and put in 10 points in Luck, 3 in agility, and 2 in strength and 1 in HP.

After I finally finished carving out a piece of leg meat and put in on top of fire to cook I took out the lottery ticket and ripped it.

A window popped up and asked me if I wanted to choose between the wheel of fortune and the dice of death. I decided to take my chance and go with the wheel of fortune again.

Another window popped up and asked me if I wanted to sacrifice the 2 lottery tokens in my possession for a better chance of getting a higher reward.

'Oh hell yes!'

My 2 tokens disappeared and the big wheel appeared in front of me.

The wheel looked the same except this time there were 2 extra "rare" slots and 2 lesser "nothing" slots.

I spun the wheel and my heart began to beat faster.

It stopped on a rare slot.

"Yes!!" I was so happy that it didn't land on a curse this time and that it didn't fuck me over.

"Congratulations on winning the Wheel of Fortune! Your prize shall be sent to you momentarily." A sweet feminine voice appeared out of nowhere and abruptly went away after saying this message.

Suddenly a black box appeared and I opened it.

It was bow and with a quiver. It had beautiful intricate designs and markings and I could feel the magic power emanating from it.

When I used [Identify] on it an actually detailed summary came out which actually surprised me.

[Bow of Tyr]

A magical bow used by the legendary hero Tyr. The quiver magically creates an unlimited amount of arrows for the user. The bow helps to increase accuracy of the user.

Requirements: Must have 20 Strength and 15 Dexterity.

Wow... this weapon is pretty OP.... but I can't use it at all!

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

I reluctantly put the bow away into my inventory and began to cook the meat.

*bite*

"mmm.....This is sooo delicious." I guess its true that hunger is the best spice. The meat tasted so good.

After finishing about 3 pounds of meat all by myself I drank some water from the stream and decided to explore the forest some more.

An idea came through my mind and you could literally see a light bulb flash on top of my head.

'Wait... if I can get unlimited arrows then.... could I?....'

I took out the quiver and began to take out arrows one by one....

"Whew... I've been at this for a whole hour. I've lost count of how many arrows I've taken out. Must be in the thousands range."

Since I can't use my bow yet I have to find another way to attack. So I decided to practice throwing arrows. And because I practically have an infinite amount of arrows then I can practice as much as I want.

I took hold of an arrow with my hand and threw it at a tree. The results were... disappointing to say the least.

The arrow just bounced off the tree and couldn't even pierce the bark.

'Sigh... looks like I have a long way to go...'

And so I trained my throwing skills the entire day and I gradually improved. By the time nightfall came I realized that I was so immersed in training that I forgot to explore the forest some more and my hands were both covered in small cuts from the arrows because of the numerous times that I made mistakes while throwing them.

I started a fire and cooked some meat.

After the meal I climbed up a tree and I shortly went off to sleep.

The next day I woke up and forgot that I was in a tree and fell off from the branch. I fell on my back and got a whopping -8 damage and hurt myself real bad.

I painfully made breakfast and ate some more of that deer meat and to my surprise I found out that if I eat food my HP restores faster.

Today I decided to practice my throwing skills some more and improve my accuracy this time. I also noticed that the small cuts from yesterday were all gone and there weren't even any scars.

I made multiple small circles on different trees and made them my targets.

I practiced throwing until noon and I could see small improvements. I'm assuming that my accuracy is about 40%.

I was tired of training and so I chose to explore the forest today.

I made sure while exploring that I didn't steer to far from the stream.

I found some more of the red fruit that the deer was eating and stored them and ate some of those. They didn't seem to have any negative effects and they tasted pretty sweet also.

My main goal is to first level up and get stronger so that I can use my new bow and then when I get proficient with it I will leave this forest and explore this world.
