Earth's Alpha Prime

For the next 15 minutes, I cautiously travelled towards the west direction. After wandering for 500 meters, I finally found a tree that had fruits.

But that tree was entirely different from the surrounding trees. It looked like a blooming peach tree, but its leaves were light red, and it stood only 3 meters tall.

When compared to the surrounding trees, it looked like a small plant. As it was different from the other trees, I used [Inspect] on the fruits with a curious look to check if they were edible or not.

[[Lesser Stamina Fruit](Common Grade): An edible fruit which can recover 25 'Stamina' upon consumption.]

I was elated to finally find some edible food and what's even more beneficial was that these fruits could even increase stamina upon consumption.

But the problem was that there was a strange cave situated closer to the red tree.

When I went closer to the tree, noises in the form of clicks sounded from the cave and suddenly many spiders of different sizes started coming out of the cave.

The height of the smallest spider was at my knee-length while the tallest one among them reached my waist-length.

I used [Inspect] on the largest Spider right away.

[Lv.10 Poisonous Spider]

[Poisonous Spider: a lesser race among Arachnid Species]

I didn't get further information like its stats and abilities because [Inspect] Skill level was low but I could see that it was the ring leader of the colony of poisonous spiders.

The Spider Matriach made a few low purring sounds and all the spiders in the colony started rushing towards me as I was their mortal enemy.

Still, I didn't back down from the fight since it was unknown when I could find food again, and by eating those fruits, I could even recover stamina instantly.

The smaller spiders fearlessly leapt towards me at high speeds.

Then, I coated the Cyan coloured Sword aura on the surface of the Rusty Short Sword and kept on slicing the spiders that jumped at me into 2 pieces before they could even land on my body, and I used the Rusty Short Sword in the right hand and the kitchen knife in the left one.

Since I couldn't practice in Lv.1 Dagger training methods without the Dagger Spirit weapon, I couldn't use Aura upon the Kitchen Knife.

I even tried to use the Sword Aura on the Kitchen knife; it simply didn't work.

With my Lv.11 Sword Mastery, my Sword Skills were extraordinarily smooth, and It was as if I trained in the way of Sword for all my life.

Except for the Lv.10 Poisonous Spider Matriach, all the other poisonous spiders that were attacking me were Lv.3 and below. Moreover, all the spiders seemed to have fewer stats than what an Lv.3 creature should have.

Even though they were individually weak, I was still not in an advantageous position in the fight since their strength lied in high numbers.

With that, I couldn't go full-on offensive since I had to defend myself from the spiders from getting bitten. But as time passed, I was able to kill them steadily, and notifications kept on popping up.

I wasn't distracted from the sudden appearance of notifications as all the information contained within the notifications was directly transferred into my mind.

[Congratulations! You have reached Lv.2]

[5 Undistributed Stats are available.]

When I levelled up, I added Undistributed Stats into Spirit Attribute. Since I was using [Sword Aura], my Spirit Energy depleted by 11 Spirit Energy every minute.

At the same time, I feared that if I were to add 5 Stats at once, I might not be in a fighting condition for a moment as that would leave an opening in my defence, and the Poisonous Spiders could bite me.

So, I started increasing my Spirit Attribute by 1 Stat with a gap of 10 seconds each.

Once the Stats in Spirit Attribute crossed 10, all my senses became even more precise, and even the speed at which my thoughts process increased.

Above all these, there was an even more useful function, which was the increase in time perception.

It felt like time around me slowed, and the movements of the poisonous spiders slowed down.

[Undistributed Stats: 5 ➝ 0]

[ Spirit: 8 ➝ 13]

[Spirit Energy: 22/40 ➝ 47/65]

After my senses improved, the rate at which I killed the spiders also increased.

[Lv.2 Poisonous Spider Killed]

[50 Life Energy Obtained]

[Lv.3 Poisonous Spider Killed]

[75 Life Energy Obtained]

[Congratulations! You have reached Lv.3]

[5 Undistributed Stats are available]

I added 3 Stats to Agility Attribute in the same way I did while adding Stats to Spirit Attribute.

As my Agility Attribute increased slowly, I didn't feel any surge that could improve my speed. Still, the control over my Body Muscle movement grew, and my body felt lighter.

My overall body balance and flexibility increased along with my reaction speed.

[Undistributed Points: 5 ➝ 2]

[Agility: 13 ➝ 16]

When both my Strength Attribute and Agility Attribute had the same Stats, I felt a strange sense of harmony.

Then I was able to use all the untapped potential within my strengthened muscles. The rate at which the Poisonous Spiders died under my sword also increased.
