Chapter 4: Crafting

Cyrus moves to the back end of the spider and starts digging into it with his dagger, making his way to collect the web sack in the rear end. Successfully collecting the web sack from the spider.

'This could be useful, if I can get webbing out of it. I could potentially use it to make some sort of silk. I should collect a few more things from the spider before heading onward. The only other things I would be interested in would be the fangs, eyes, and the poison sack.' Cyrus moves to the head and cuts away at the mandibles of the spider. Quickly getting them off, Cyrus starts top attempt to pluck the eyes out. Only being able to successfully collect 4 out of the 8.

Quickly Cyrus starts cutting away at the head to make an incision where he believes the poison sack is located. Sticking his hand in the slit, Cyrus digs around until he feels what he believes are the poison sacks. Attempting to cut the sacks out, Cyrus is only able to salvage one of them. Since he cut one open, which caused him some damage along with a notification.

"Nice I didn't expect my dagger mastery to go up from this but it makes sense, if everything I do is basically a skill." Cyrus puts everything he's collected into his Shadow Domain before standing up. Taking a breath before walking further down the path for about another 10 minutes unhindered. The path forked into two different paths.

"Well which way should I go? The best bet would be to go down the path with the least traffic." Bending down Cyrus touched the ground beneath him. Focusing on the ground intently, taking in the details of the imprints on the ground. The wear on the stone along with the density of webbing around each path.

Congrats! New skill learned!

"The left path is heavily traveled; the webbing is thick like rope. While the right path has hardly anything there. Let's take the right path for now." Cyrus stands back up and walks down the right path. Recasting orb of light just to hopefully level it up more slowly. After a few minutes of walking Cyrus hears drops of liquid falling. Quickening his pace Cyrus comes into an oval shaped room. With stalagmites hanging from the ceiling dropping what appears to be water. Following a drop with his eyes Cyrus watches it drop into a still water source.

The water rippled as the Orb of Light was reflected across the pool.

"Yes, water! I've heavily dehydrated since I came into this world." Cyrus dips down and uses Analysis on the water to make sure it is safe to drink.

-Cave Water: One of the Purest forms of water there is. Heals 15 health

-+10 Health, +2 Endurance

Scooping the water with his hands Cyrus greedily drinks up the water. Feeling his body get a bit stronger from drinking the water. Cyrus smiles before drinking more just to quench his thirst for now.

"I need a water pouch of some kind, maybe if I take the web sack from the spider, I could use the sack itself as a pouch." Cyrus digs his hand into his shadow and pulls out the still somewhat bloodied web sack. Opening the web sack Cyrus dug his arm into the sack. Quickly fishing out what was the left of the webbing, tossing that into his shadow. Taking the web sack, Cyrus dunks it into the water. Taking his hand, he starts to wipe away the blood and any extra bits clinging to it. Taking the sack out, he dumps it inside out to get rid of the extra water inside.

"I need to dry this out into some kind of leather material. I should try and form my mana into fire mana. Then I can maybe heat up my hand until its warm and run it across the sack to dry it." Cyrus holds his hand out and focuses his mana to his hand. Scrunching his brow, he starts to focus harder as he tries to turn that mana into fire mana. As his mana slowly turns into fire mana, Cyrus starts to feel what appears to be the fires all-consuming rage. As his mana fully shifts over, instantly creating a fiery blaze from his palm that only starts to get bigger as Cyrus starts to lose himself to the hatred created by the fire.

'I need to calm myself or else I'll be consumed.' Feeling his body start to burn up, Cyrus starts to focus more on the flame and the rage attempting to quell it. Slowly the rage starts to diminish as Cyrus mind clears. The flame starts to shrink until it was just an orb of flame floating above his palm.

Congrats! New Skill Learned!

-Fire Manipulation Lv. 1: Using Fire Mana and manipulating it is 1% easier per level-

-1 Stat Point earned-

Bringing the web sack close to the flame as it slowly started to dry and turn into a more of a pliable leather material. The process took about one hour but the end product was worth it. Holding up the dried web sack inspecting it over. Digging back into his shadow, Cyrus pulls out the webbing and a chunk of chitin. Cyrus cuts about 2 feet worth of webbing and twists it into a sticky rope. Cutting a bit of his shirt, he takes it and wraps his around three quarters of the webbing make it less sticky.

Wrapping and tying the rope around near the top of the leather sack. Tying off the part around the sack. Cyrus then takes his dagger and starts to shave away at the chitin to create a form of a stopper. Once Cyrus was happy with his little stopper, he then takes the sticky part of the webbing. Wrapping it around the stopper to attach it to the leather sack. Taking more of his shirt he wraps it around the rest of the rope and stopper. Sticking the stopper into the sack.

"Alright let's fill this up and rest for a nit before heading down the other path." Cyrus bends down and fills the sack full of water. Putting the sack in his shadow, Cyrus bends down and using the water washes his face off of the sweat that had built up from working on making the water sack. Casting Orb of Light again, Cyrus wills it toward the tunnel entrance to the room he was in so he could watch it.

Mana: 15/330

"I used almost all my mana on that sack, trying to keep the heat going. I need to rest a bit to gain it back. I should use my stat points that I have." Cyrus sits down letting his body rest as he looks at his status. Debating on what to allocate his points for about 15 minutes, Cyrus finally decides on putting them into Recovery, Luck, Control, Dexterity, and Intelligence.

Recovery 18 -> 22

Luck 22 -> 24

Control 24 -> 29

Dexterity 15 -> 18

Intelligence 66 -> 71

Mana 330 -> 355

Stamina 105 -> 120

"That should do it, I eventually need to put points into strength to increase my health. I can't recover my health if I get killed in one hit." Cyrus mumbles as he sits and rests for an hour.

Throughout the hour he was resting, Cyrus could hear skittering and hissing from deeper into the cave.

'It seems they have been quite active; I can't tell the time right now but I can gleam that these spiders probably are in the cave mostly during the day. It must at least still be daylight out if they are still moving around in here still.' Cyrus sighs before standing up, willing the orb to come hover above his shoulder. Cyrus starts to walk through the cave with his dagger in his hand and his other hand at the ready to cast.
