Chapter 2 - Training and the Cave

Last night was cold but i still manage to sleep when i went a bit deeper inside the cave because its a bit warmer but right now im currently sitting and eating some berries. Today im planning to learn the 'Hand to Hand Combat Skill'.

"Now, lets start some training" [Modom]

I went outside and trained some moves from karate and taekwondo that i know of. And after 2 hours of continous training i finally got the skill that i've been waiting for.

[Learned Skill: Hand to Hand Combat Lv.1(Basic)]

"I finally got it!Now lets check it" [Modom]

[Hand to Hand Combat Lv.1(Basic)]

{5% Increase in strength and evasion rate while fighting without a weapon and 2% Increase in attack speed.}

"Now that is some skill, so im going continue to raise its level a bit and im also curious about how deep the cave is, so im gonna venture it this afternoon" [Modom]

Its been for 4 hours since i got the skill and its already noon so i stopped training and i opened my inventory to get something to eat and rest a bit and after that i'll finally go investigate the cave, so while im eating let me check of how far i got on my skill.

[Hand to Hand Combat Lv.3(Basic)]

{8% Increase in strength and evasion rate while fighting without a weapon and 5% Increase in attack speed.}

"Hooo, it seems its 1% increase per level huh?" [Modom]

After i was done eating and got some rest, i finally went inside the cave. The cave is actually pretty dark but i also have another reason why i want to go deeper even though there's not even a single speck of light inside and im just touching the side of the cave so that i know where im going. And after 5 minutes i finally got what i wanted.

[Learned Skill: Night Vision Lv.1(Basic)]

"Alright!My vision cleared a bit and i can finally see the structure of the cave,hmm? what is this?" 'Analyze' [Modom]

[Steel Ore(Rank - E)

[Rarity - Uncommon]

"So this is a steel ore huh it looks like a rock the only difference is the color, this one is a bit shiny, lets store it for now" [Modom]

Its seems there are rankings and rarities of things in this world. If i remember it right, the rank should be like this: F,E,D,C,B,A,S and maybe there's more and rarity should be: Common,Uncommon,Rare,Unique,Artifact,Epic,Legendary maybe Phantasmal too? Hmm, Well these are only the things when i read some LN's before so im not sure. Ill find more about it in the future.

And as i went deeper inside the cave there are really a lot of ore's here and their ranging from steel, copper and iron ore's and there was even a chunk of gold earlier, i tried pulling it out but its pretty much stuck on the cave wall so i left it be and i also assumed that this cave is a mine that havent been discovered yet and the cave is at least 5 meters wide and at least 9 meters in height.

"I've been walking non-stop here for at least 15 minutes by now and i cant s-" [Modom]

"Sfx: Screech!!!"

As i was talking to my self something interuppted me and just attacked me w/o warning i manage to dodge and see what it was because my Night Vision is already Lv.5 since i got it and it seems my attacker is some kind of a bat and the size of friggin full grown dog. Damn, its creepy.

'Analyze'[Modom]

[Vampire Bat Lv.5(Boss)] [Rank: E]

'Shit! A Boss monster and its level is 4 levels higher than mine and its a fucking bloodsucker but if it attacks again it will be hard to dodge this time because the footing is not that good, no choice but to fight then but its still friggin boss monster!Damn you Jeronimo!!' [Modom]

When i was thinking on how to deal with this boss, i pick some nearby rock and held it tight in my right hand. Im planning to smash its head just like what i did to that rabbit yesterday and i just hope it works.

"Sfx: Screech!"

And the bat dive again towards me with the intent to kill me then probably suck my blood dry after it kills me but im not gonna let it do what it wants, i havent met a beautiful girl yet so im not gonna die today. As i steeled myself because the pressure that im feeling, i took a stance planning to intercept its attack by using my skill [Smash] using the rock on my hand and then.....

"[Smash]!" [Modom]

"Sfx: BAM!"

The rock on my hand shined then i smashed the bat's head but its still alive but it wasnt moving so its probably stunned so i took the chance and continued smashing its head till it died.

[Your level has risen by 1]

"I *haa* did it, *haa haa haa* i killed a boss monster but that was friggin scary" [Modom]

I slumped on the ground trying to calm myself down. My heart was beating so fast that i thought i was gonna die from heart-attack when i found out that the monster was a boss monster.

"I killed that boss monster so it means im finally nearing the end of this cave i wonder whats up ahead but im lucky to be still alive today, its really scary when your facing a bat the size of a full grown dog" [Modom]

As i calmed down i finally started walking forward and i've never met another monster again but after 5 minutes or so i finally saw the end of the cave and its huge but the unexpected thing was the thing in middle of it there was a mountain of gold coins and jewelries so i went forward to see it up close but still being alert of my surroundings from possible dangers, when im finally sure that im all alone i stored all of it, what i got was, 1,010,521 gold coins and a bunch of rubies,sapphires,emeralds and amethyst with at least 66 pieces of each kind but there was another surprise under this riches, there was a friggin huge egg in the middle of it at least 50cm in height and its still warm so its still alive so i tried to analyze it.

'Analyze' [Modom]

[??? Lv.???] [Hatching Time: 5 days]

"What is this??How come i cant analyze it? My skill is already maxed leveled. How come its full of question marks the only thing i can analyze is its hatching time" [Modom]

I tried analyzing it over and over again but to no avail, until it finally hit me, i have an Inventory maybe it can give me a detailed information about it.

'Inventory' [Modom]

As i summoned my inventory, i picked up the egg it was a bit heavy but i still manage to put it in and as i was hoping it to give me some information about the egg but my hope was then crush its still the same, full of question marks.

"Nevermind, lets just wait till it hatch in 5 days then ill know what it is, im done here" [Modom]

So i left the place and went back on the mouth of the cave happy of what i got and curious of what's inside the egg.
