2 Chapter 2

We need to level up and collect skills to survive.

Ok and how do we do that?

I learned my first skills when I was absorbing things, but maybe it's different now.

But I'm a spider, how am I supposed to absorb things?

See if you have any skills Kumoko.

Ok and how do I do that.

You have to try opening your inventory.

Okay, I'll try. Kumoko tries hard and suddenly a window appears in front of her.

I did it, a window opened. Can you see it Rimuru?

No I can't see it but what skills do you have?

Ok I'll read it out ok. Yes, ok.

Name. Kumoko. Race: Monster. Level: 1. Skills None.

Ok so you have no skills.

What do we do now.

We have to acquire skills and become stronger otherwise we will die quickly.

Ok and how do we do that?

I have no idea yet. We have to level up in any case, i am level 1 too.

Ok then let's keep running and jumping until we find something.

Ok sounds like a plan.

You run and hop through the cave for quite a while until you come across a big snake.

The snake is not only big because they are small but also for humans it is very big.

The snake notices them immediately.

Aaa what do we do now.

Kumoko runs up the wall in fear.

What I can do is run up the wall.

Above the snake hangs a large stone that is no longer stable.

It is only a matter of time before he falls down.

Hey Kumoko shouts Rimuru. Who runs in front of the snake way.

Yes what is.

You can somehow loosen the stone so that the snake can be killed, right?

I'll try.

She walks towards the stone. She is now standing on her head.

She hacks at the stone with one of her eight legs.

A crack at the bottom of the stone.

It works, Rimuru.

Just keep doing that. You should hurry though, I can't last much longer, my stamina will soon be used up.

Okay, I'll hurry.

She continues and suddenly the stone falls down and lands directly on the head of the snake.

Yay Kumoko screams and ropes herself with a found from the ceiling of the cave.

A window appears for both of them.

They have reached level two. And both have received the skill evolution.

What kind of skill is that? Kumoko asks.

I have no idea, but we have successfully defeated the snake.

A growl comes from the direction of Kumoko.

What is that? Rimuru asks.

...My stomach, I'm hungry.

Ok then it is the snake.

What the snake should I eat.

Do you have something else you can eat!
