Phew! That was a close one. I almost died. Let me check my status. Status!
- Name: Elfan
- Race: Elf
- Level: 210
- Mana: 5000
- Skills: Alchemy level 7, Mining level 3, Swordsmanship level 9, ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ level?????
- Steelification level 10
- Identity level 1
My stats increased, and I received a new skill, "Identity." But I do not see my cheat skill or system. I guess that was just a dream. But what did she mean by "save the elves"? From whom? She said her name was Ellen, right? I will ask my father and investigate properly when I return home.
You must be wondering how I used [Steelification] against the bear, right? Let me explain how skills work. We have basic skills like [Light] or [Fire] that I use to cook the meat. These types of skills are so basic that they are not recorded in the status window. However, the skills recorded in the status window are different. For example, when I cast [Steelification], I imagine the part of my body that I want to turn into steel, and bang. We also have what they call "useless" skills—these are skills that one cannot use even when they appear on the status window. Mother once told me a story about some guy in her generation who had the skill [Artisan level 10]. The skill was already at max level, yet he did not know how to use it. What could he imagine? It is not like he is from Earth or something.

After checking my equipment, I went out of the cave and started moving down the steep landscape. There is another cave here, but it is bigger than the one where those two bears lived. Let me throw a rock and see what happens. Nothing? I think it has been hours, and nothing appeared. I entered the cave, and since it is empty, I have to move fast and find water. I went out of the cave and started moving slowly. Up ahead, I heard a hissing sound. Snakes? I peeked inside the cave and saw many cocoons. Spiders? This means there are many of them, judging by the number of cocoons. But why are they so big? Does that mean the spiders are also big? Yep, I saw nothing. I am not entering this one. Let me pass and pretend I saw nothing. Has this mine turned into a dungeon? Where do these monsters come from? I passed that cave and increased my speed, hearing a fight up ahead. I rushed to see who was fighting.
A colony of spiders against three dragons. This is Armageddon. If this battle were taking place outside the mine, the country would have been destroyed. Dragons are breathing fire, and the spiders are not retreating. The spiders seem to be wary of the big dragon, not the two young ones next to it. That explains why the cave full of cocoons is empty. Good, I have a great idea.
