At the morning when Cyrus was planning to leave his cave a sudden visitor came...
[Host Natural life forms detected]
[Name:Awan] [Tittle: Top 25(Evolution Ladder) {current rank 9} {3rd Pack Leader]
[Hp 30000/30000] [Mana 17000/17000] [Dmg 3000 x 2 =6000] [Attack speed 2] [Armor 9000] [Peak of Stage 4] [Ice Dragon Wing]
"You are?" Asked Cyrus surprised, he really didn't expected a visitor.
"Awan, This Pack leader and your new superior! I want to know if you are planning to form a squad or hunt solo." Said Awan.
"Solo" Said Cyrus.
"Than, I have a job for you. There is a swarm of peak stage 2 Spider Lings at our Territory which needs to be taken care of"
After saying this Awan turned around to leave but before he left, he put a drop of black blood on the floor. "Oh, almost forgot eat this" with that said he left. After Awan left he was still thinking about his brother Axan, Well it doesn't matter I taken ravage for u brother, I sent your killer into a dead zone! That's all I can do for u as a pack leader.
System what's that?
[Mark of Asura: The pack members of Asura it marks u as one of them]
Well that's good for now [Eat]
After eating the [Mark of Asura] Cyrus begann his journey towards the place where the Spider lings were reported to stay, after 2 weeks of traveling he arrived at the place but the sight that confronted him was just something he couldn't describe, Peak Stage 2 beast corpses were lying everywhere he could see.
He started walking closer to the danger zone, following the mountain of corpses it didn't take long before he found the source of the problem, he found a Giant Cavern with hundreds of tunnels filled with cobwebs.
He even found a few spider eggs, well he wish he didn't went near them the moment he got close the eggs exploded with acid smoke and a group of 50 baby spider lings swarmed at him, what made things more annoying the moment he killed one the others would go into a {frenzy:nearby spider lings gain +25% attack speed} and this endlessly stacked. The moment he went next to an another batch of spider eggs the same story happened again.
Cyrus decided to search for a small cave that he could use for his uses and try to clear out the Cavern started from there.. at least having 1 safe spot at a place like this is nice, so that's what he did.
Cyrus daily routine changed at day he would use his fire related skills to burn away the cobwebs and baby spiders with them, than at the night he spent training his 1st Gate. What gave Cyrus new hope in opening the first gate was the fact that in the Spider Caverns there we're actually plants that were helpful strengthening the veins of the body called [Shadow Fern] at consume it would increase the chances of Cracking the first gate, there was:
[Common Shadow Fern: +1% chance] (+10% Max) [1/10]
[Uncommon Shadow Fern: +2% chance] (+20% Max) [0/10]
[Good Shadow Fern: +3% chance] (+30% Max) [0/10]
[Super good Shadow Fern: +4% chance] (+40% Max) [0/10]
Even though Cyrus managed to find one common after 2-3 days of farming it was still considered rare since it was only common.
So yeh.. soon months passed and Cyrus lvl slowly but steadily started growing:
[lvl 10/100] -> [lvl 11/100]
[lvl 12/100] -> [lvl 13/100]
…
…
…
…
[lvl 32/100] -> [lvl 33/100] / [BM: 45 303 450] -> [BM: 45 304 789]
Well the growing of [BioMass] wasn't surprising since Cyrus were never a picky eater, he ate the spiders and the things that the spiders hunted or the remains of corpses, since he came here he will clean it entirely.
Soon only the main cavern was standing untouched.

[Name:Arachne]
[Hp 30000/30000] [Mana 49000/49000] [Attack speed 8] [Armor 9000] [Peak of Stage 4] [Acid Arachnid Wing]
[Frenzy:at death of a baby spider Ling nearby spider lings gain +25% attack speed]
Well damn I hate this... oh well xp comes first.
Cyrus started spitting fire like there was no tomorrow! After gaining around 10 more levels he had enough and killed the Arachne Link..
[Congratulation Host for gaining Stage 4 evolution form: Acid Dragon Link] [1/2]
After killing it he started searching for more [Fern]. The number of spider lings drastically declined after killing the [Arachne].
[Common Shadow Fern: +1% chance] (+10% Max) [9/10]
[Uncommon Shadow Fern: +2% chance] (+20% Max) [10/10]
[Good Shadow Fern: +3% chance] (+30% Max) [7/10]
[Super good Shadow Fern: +4% chance] (+40% Max) [5/10]
After weeks of searching the caverns he decided to try to consume all the [Fern] he got and try his luck with 70% chance, considering that it was still only for a crack it shouldn't be that hard to do with 70%.. or should I make sure?
After deciding to search for more [Fern] Cyrus ventured deeper into the main cave.. here the remaining spiders didn't have [frenzy], they had something even more annoying!
In the deep caverns the spiders used [Sticky acid spit: to slow down the prey or enemy -1% movement speed] [Stack 30/100] so even thought he didn't wanted to care for them, he needed to kill the spiders before searching or it would take longer than he wanted..
The weeks went by just like that searching the caverns for [Farn] until one day he ate all he could
[Common Shadow Fern: +1% chance] (+10% Max) [10/10]
[Uncommon Shadow Fern: +2% chance] (+20% Max) [10/10]
[Good Shadow Fern: +3% chance] (+30% Max) [10/10]
[Super good Shadow Fern: +4% chance] (+40% Max) [10/10]
Cyrus finaly had 100% chance to further crack the 1st gate.. and strengthen him self..
