Ugh what is going on? What was that? My head hurts, that knocked me out. Lets see what do I remember. I was sleeping in my room had that weird nightmare about getting runover by a truck and hmmm, oh yeah the lights just appeared in my room and collected together and I touched it? Wasn’t that part of the dream? Or am I still asleep?

Learn YES/NO
Hell yeah
New spell learned Earthen spike
Earthen spike level 1 allows the caster to summon a spike of earth for 25 MP
That’s costly but I can do magic. So worth it 1 use for 25 MP means at my current mana I can use it about 6 times. Okay lets get going. This cave at least is lit up well by those plants. Can I inspect them? No.
SCREECH
What the hell was that. I am not going that way… screw that lets go up or I hope this is up.
Are those beetles? Earthen spike! Earthen spike! Earthen spike! Why wont you die? Earthen spike!

22 HP remaining ah that things hits hard its just a beetle though why so strong? What! Level 6! I am so in over my head here. Lets distribute stat points. 6 points huh lets go 2 to vit, 1 to str as I assume 5 in each would be average for humans. Not sure what a nether human is though. Lets add 2 to int and I guess 1 to luck? Nah 3 to int. need more mana as that’s my way to kill these things. STATUS!

Sweet that’s 2 more uses of earthen spike! Crap cant move on as I don’t have the health to run into anything else. That jerky is looking pretty good lets try some.
+3 HP per sec. for the next 20 sec.
That jerky is amazing. Ugh those heals though. Ok so now I am at full health but MP is not going up. Water! Nope doesn’t heal but tastes very refreshing. How did I get myself into this? The only thing I can do is keep going forward! I cant let whatever this is break me! Luckily I was working a dead end job delivering food for a living, a 30 year old college dropout with no real prospects and no family and the only friends I had were online. Why do I feel more alive than ever now? I will show this place what I am capable of!
So I now have the health I need to move onward but my MP out. How do they do it in the games? Wait 1 hour? Lets sit and try to meditate.
New skill Learned: Meditation
When mediation is used you gain 1 HP per min and 5MP per min.
I feel like I have been at that all day well at least now I can gain MP back and oh look at that it even heals me some. Lets see that’s going to take me 40-45 min. still not as long as it took to learn that skill. Lets Meditate!
Alright that should do it. Lets check it out. STATUS!
