Remy woke up at 9:00 in the morning.
He saw that the burn in his arm was healed. He wondered how the System made his wounds heal so fast.
He needed to get up and Level Up and complete the Quest. There was no time to procrastinate. He may not survive if he did not get stronger. He still had the Skill and Stat Points. He spent all his Stat Points and two Skill Points in his Knives Skill

Remy wolfed down a pack of noodles after cooking it. He prepared to go back to the hardware store, this time more sneakily. He grabbed his knife and rake but this time he also took a can of pepper spray he had in his basement. He was reminded of it when he saw pepper while cooking. If he dropped his knife or rake and some monster had come up close and personal it would get a face full of pepper spray.
He set off, once again to the hardware store, this time extra vigilant for threats. He kept his back as close to the end of the street as possible as to not be ambushed. He saw another [Acid Spider] in front of him. It had its back turned to him. He quickly hid behind a car. It hadn’t noticed him yet. He had to seize the opportunity. He crept closer and charged at it. It noticed him too late and got skewered by his rake neck. It stayed alive far a few moments after being skewered but could not spit acid and died. Thankfully he did not get covered by its blood this time.
[You have defeated a Level 4 Acid Spider]
[You have gained the Skills Ambush and Sneak]
After this it was smooth sailing. He had seen a pack of wolves but there were too many and he sneaked past them earning a Level in the Skill Sneak. He finally reached the hardware store.
After the journey he felt that reaching the hardware store should be a Quest itself.
Remy scavenged though the hardware store. He took a rope, mallet, a hand drill (In case a monster invaded his house), pliers and a bunch of sharp objects he didn’t know. He saw a chainsaw but was disappointed as he couldn’t carry it. The trip back home was uneventful except when he ambushed an Acid Spider again gaining a Level. After he went home he increased his stats.
