Kazuka stands in front of the spider with swords poised for an attack, the dungeon light suddenly growing dimmer.

"This spider is absorbing energy, that means if I use my mana I will definitely lose" Kazuka says looking directly at the spider.

[Dungeon Spider, lvl 50]

He takes a deep breath and considers every possible hit he could take. "This spider is way above my level but I have to kill it" he says and starts running towards the spider.

He reaches the spider's legs and tries to cut one of them off but his sword is thrown from his hand nearly decapitating himself.

But the sword made a wound on his face from which blood flows, significantly turning back he sees that the spider doesn't react either and just stays in the same place.

"Why isn't it moving? Oh no" says Kazuka realizing what it's really doing to the spider that it's not moving from its spot.

A high level Spider can use the energy around it to increase its hits and damage per hit, which often makes it 10 times more dangerous than it could be, but this applies to other monsters as well but not just Spiders.

"That's why the spider absorbs energy - because it makes its attacks more powerful" he says, and in a split second the light in the dungeon disappears for a moment and a strong wind comes from behind the spider.

Kazuka stabs his sword into the ground to avoid being pushed into the wall of the room by the super strong wind that never stops.

But watching for a second it notices how the spider starts to move towards it and it starts to panic a little.

"Think Kazuka, Think" he says in his mind watching how the spider is coming towards him and nearly able to catch him.

At that moment a light bulb goes off in his mind and he pulls his sword out of the ground being totally blown into the dungeon wall by the wind.

Dust jumps from that wall once he makes contact with Kazuka but once the dust clears Kazuka is intact.

"If I can somehow cut through this wind I'm sure I'll be able to do something to the spider" he says and with his sword he tries to cut through the wind but nothing works.

He swallows his saliva in fright as he sees the spider getting closer and closer to him with each step the spider takes.

"I can handle this" he says and plunges his sword into the ground and steps forward.

[Stamina level 70%]

He puts all his strength into his feet and looks up, his hair whipping wildly in the wind coming from ahead of him.

The spider eventually gets near him and is ready to throw acid on him only then the wind stops and Kazuka dodges.

The acid falling on the ground melts the ground making a giant hole in that area, but Kazuka grabbed the spider by one leg and tried to cut its leg off but again, nothing happened.

Seeing that nothing happens he turns and runs towards his sword but a smaller spider appears in his path.

Seeing this he stops in place and jumps over it and grabs his sword doing a backflip in the air giving himself a great distance from the spiders.

"This spider is the mother of these smaller ones, that means it's the boss of the dungeon but that means more spiders will come to attack me" he says running towards the smaller spider.

The small spider also comes towards him but Kazuka throws his sword through the spider instantly killing it and out come many pixels that eventually disappear.

Grabbing his sword from the ground he sees the spider spitting acid again so he dodges and the ground in that spot melts.

He looks at the spider and where he could hit it to weaken it.

"If I can't at its legs, there must be other areas where it's vulnerable," Kazuka says, thinking of a plan.

He runs towards the spider but instead of thrusting his sword through it he climbs up to get on top of it but the spider shakes itself off to knock him off of itself

A vulnerable area of the spider could be the web bag it has, or this or another area that can be super vulnerable to attack.

Reaching a fairly high height the spider manages to take him down, Kazuka falling to his feet from that height injures himself.

[-5 HP (115/120)]

The spider throws a web at Kazuka and he almost gets caught in that web but jumps to avoid that to happen.

[Spider web slows you down by 50%]

Taking his heart in his teeth he puts his swords in his inventory steps away and stands guard ready to attack.

"If I can't hurt it with the swords then I'll just use magic" he says grinning as fire erupts from his fists.

But the fire approaches towards the spider absorbing little by little of the energy "I have to be quick with my attacks or I'll run out of mana super fast" it says in its mind and runs towards the spider avoiding the spider web on the ground.

Reaching the spider's legs he slams it full force into one of them and it bursts into flames.

[Mana level: 89%]

[Be Quick]

Seeing these windows he moves on to the Spider's other legs but more spiders appear in the way blocking the opening to the boss's legs.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"There are too many to deal with empty fists" he says and grabs one of his swords which catches fire as well.

He runs his sword like cheese through them, however grabbing one of the spiders slams it into two others causing them to die instantly.

However out of the mother spider's belly comes a giant web which traps Kazuka in it but luckily for him with sword and fire he cuts it open.

The mother spider however moves quickly and causes the chamber to shake and tilt to one side.

"What the hell" he says falling to the ground in the process being caught back in the web and his magic suddenly stops.

[Mana level: 46% to prevent your immediate death due to mana loss, your magic has been temporarily stopped]

His heart begins to pound seeing this information from the system and his eyes grow large with panic surging through his blood.

Meanwhile in real life Yuto is at school staring at his phone's main screen doing nothing.

"I wonder what he's doing in that world" he says in his mind putting his phone down on the bench shifting his gaze to the window.

The sun was starting to come out even more after the rain that was last night which makes him look calmly out the classroom window.

However, the teacher calmly enters the classroom and quietly sets her things down, then begins to write on the blackboard without saying anything.

All the students start writing on the blackboard so it is completely quiet in the classroom, however looking towards the door she hears a whining sound.

"Come in" says the teacher calmly standing at the desk waiting for the person to enter the classroom.

But silence, nothing can be heard but the birds outside singing peacefully so the teacher gets up and opens the door.

Looking around she sees no one and goes out into the hallway for a moment to look to see who might have knocked on the door but nothing, the hallways are empty.

Stepping back in and closing the door behind her she sits down at her desk quietly and looks out the window too at the bright sun that has appeared in the now blue sky.

"I can't die here"

Mana level is essential for life in this game, if it runs out Kazuka is likely to die in the game and maybe even in reality.

[Speed slowed by 15%]

Kazuka feels fear pass through his heart again and his heartbeat is getting deeper.

But the giant spider approaches Kazuka with its army to kill him and then devour him like he's nothing.

The spider spits acid from its mouth which makes Kazuka panic even worse seeing the acid rapidly approaching him.

Using his sword he cuts the web and throws himself on his belly away from the area where the acid should hit.

The sound of his hitting the cold ground is raised making a loud echo in this chamber.

The acid reaches the area where Kazuka was recently and some of it gets on his leg making him feel the pain of it.

The skin in that area burns uncontrollably and every sting caused by the burn he feels all the way to his brain and back.

"Shit" he says looking at the wound knowing he can't touch it or it will burn in other areas.

The small spiders jump to attack jumping on Kazuka and trying to bite him but the adrenaline in his blood is so high he blocks the attacks with his sword, shaking in fear.

Now that he can't use his hand and is weakened he has to fight like this as much as possible to somehow recover.

Finally managing to say "Inventory" and grab his other sword he uses it to cut off the heads of other spiders to relieve the pressure on him.

"I" he says cutting off the leg of a spider which he then slices to pieces with his swords.

"Can't give up!" he continues managing to get rid of the last spiders that have jumped on him so with the help of his swords he gets up from the ground.

He looks at the giant spider standing still doing nothing but blinking excessively at Kazuka.

He closes his eyes for a moment and says "I can't allow myself to die now, it's not my time" and opening his eyes he steps forward a little awkwardly to walk towards the spider.

Sometimes fire plays as important a role as healing magic, it depends on the individual and the potential they hold.

Kazuka has that potential but still has too low a mana level to do anything but his skin gets paler with each step he takes.

Lifting his head from the ground Kazuka grins and plunges his sword into the wound, blood splashing around and the blade of the sword gets filled with blood.

"Fire Healing" he says and his sword catches fire in the wound as his facial expression is a desperate one feeling all the pain.

Once he feels his leg lighter he pulls his sword with all his strength out of his leg falling to the ground and the fire out of the sword stops.

His wound is still there but all is well now for him, instead the big spider moves towards him to devour him.

"A lot of times I don't know how to use magic but good luck reading the instructions about fire magic in this game" he says smiling getting up from the ground.

He lifts his head from the ground and looks directly at the spider saying "Now I just have to use my physical strength to beat this creature" and the spider throws acid at him again but disappears from the spot.

Running towards the spider the other smaller ones jump in but Kazuka grabs one of them and throws it at the others to disorient them.

Reaching under the larger spider he quickly climbs onto one of its legs but the spider doesn't let up and shakes itself shaking the room at the same time.

But Kazuka has already made his strategy and managed to insert his sword through the spider's leg "If it uses too much acid spit it weakens its invisible shield so I can do what I want now" he says as he climbs further up the spider.

The other spiders are climbing to get to Kazuka and seeing this he stops in his tracks "If I continue I will be caught, they are too fast for me" he says and throws his sword in the air catching it so that the blade is pointed at the spiders.

"I'm going to end this terror here" he says and takes a deep breath.

The spiders have reached him and he uses his leg to push them away but it didn't work so plan B goes into effect.

Kazuka shoves his sword through the spider's head which falls down making a loud impact once it hits the chamber ground.

"One down" he says gritting his teeth.

The others also reach into his sword but one was smarter and jumped up to attack Kazuka from above giving the others time to kill him.

He grits his teeth and pulls the other sword out of the spider's leg throwing himself off of it, now being in free fall from such a height he quickly thinks of something.

"I'll use my mana for this" he says and flames appear around him and just as he was about to make impact with the ground the flames successfully managed to knock him to the ground making a wave of flames around him.

Now he stands in an attack position with his swords to wait for the spiders to come down but he looks around and sees a lot of open eggs and others waiting to crack.

"I have to crack the eggs to get rid of this creature's defenses," he says, moving his eyes left and right rapidly.

He puts his strength to his feet and runs towards the eggs but seeing this the spiders chase him to stop him.

"Get out of my way" he yells and swings his sword through the spiders with his adrenaline pumping.

He reaches near an egg waiting to hatch and sticks his sword through the crack, the sound of the spider dying being a high pitched one that has annoyed the mother spider.

Seeing that the mother spider starts moving towards him again but faster so he runs behind another egg which he destroys killing the infant spider.

He grins and when almost trampled by the spider he runs towards another egg "Come here if you want to kill me" he says and puts his sword through another egg.

The spider spits acid but Kazuka runs away from it escaping the acid's reach so he breathes a little relieved.

"I still have 5 eggs to destroy before I can fight this spider" Kazuka says putting a sword in his inventory.

Smiling at the sword in his hand he sees his reflection in it but the spider spits acid again, only for Kazuka to disappear from the spot being nowhere to be found.

From behind the mother spider, loud and rapid footsteps can be heard on the floor of the chamber and Kazuka runs towards two perfectly aligned eggs.

"Look here, you useless spider" Kazuka says sticking his sword through the egg and the infant spider dies while a strange ooze gets on his body.

He shakes himself to get the ooze off him and is almost trampled by the mother spider but he cuts off its leg which falls on the other egg destroying it completely.

"3 eggs left, I can do this" says Kazuka running towards the other eggs but the mother spider kicks a boulder that falls in front of Kazuka.

His heart pounds seeing the boulder that almost flattened him if he stepped another step forward.

His legs tremble seeing the spider approach one of its hairy, claw-like legs as nails, "No, I can't die" he says and pronounced veins appear on his legs.

And with a sword swing he cuts the spider's leg off and it falls to the ground unable to move from its spot so Kazuka seizes the opportunity and walks past the boulder reaching for the eggs.

"Let's end it all here" he says sticking his sword through the crack of the egg killing the spider inside the egg.

Now he moves on to the next "Everyone deserves to live, not these creatures" he says and plunges his sword with all his strength through the egg completely cracking the egg and killing the spider.

He looks back and sees the mother spider trying to get up but can't at all as he smiles calmly "Whoever programmed you made you strong" then moves to the other egg which he smashes to pieces and the strange liquid is all over the blade of his sword.

"I'm sorry for everything," he says, drawing a breath as he walks towards the mother spider.

"I understand your pain, I too would hate it if someone killed my children but that's the adventure in this game" he continues taking the other sword from his inventory walking towards the spider.

He holds his swords tight in his cold hands and his body feels the fatigue and pain from the fight now as he relaxes.

His breathing is visible from the bitter cold in the chamber they are currently in.

His heart is still pounding and his throat is throbbing hard feeling the adrenaline slowly fading from his body.

He reaches the mother spider who stops attacking him and just stands still waiting to be killed by Kazuka.

He raises his sword in the air and sticks his sword through the spider's head pulling the sword to make an opening to attack more.

Kazuka climbs onto the spider's head and shoves his sword with full force through the spider's head which makes a sharp sound that makes Kazuka cover his ears.

"To kill the spider completely I must destroy its eyes" he says and gets to work destroying every eye of the spider resulting in its death.

The spider falls completely to the ground and its legs break completely making a sharp noise and at the same time Kazuka falls off the spider.

Dust gets everywhere from the spider's impact with the ground causing the chamber to shake for a long time.

[Congratulations on killing 'Dungeon Spider' and as a reward you got 'Spider Fangs']

Kazuka gets up from the ground and puts his swords into his inventory drawing in a breath exhaling it slightly.

Opening his eyes he looks around seeing that the spider is completely gone now completely knowing that it is dead.

[Now you can go back to the real world]

Seeing this window he stretches and smiles saying "It's been a short but exhausting fight, I know worse will come but I must do better" and chooses to go back to real life.

A portal appears in his room and he steps out of the portal which disappears once he puts his feet out of it.

But now all the pain is felt and he falls down feeling the slightest pain in his body.

He breathes heavily continuing to feel all the pain but smiles and says "This is what it feels like to be exhausted" and holds his stomach to ease the pain.

The sun is slowly setting and everything is getting darker but Kazuka crawls to his bed to climb into it.

However he can't lift his hand up on the bed so he relaxes his muscles and closes his eyes falling asleep on the floor.
