Chapter 4 - Strength, Agility, and Intelligence

Inside a cave in the Forsaken Forest, Shino body regenerated his head and start breathing heavily

"Aaahhhh.. I thought I was done for" He said

He stump the ground and immediately throw a tantrum and said, "That damn god, I am grateful for him, but don't throw me where my head would be chop off immediately, I know I'm an immortal but still, what is it anyways that chop my head off?"

Shino look up and saw a giant spider with blades as feet in front of him, Shino was so spooked that his soul fled his body.

Pulling his soul back to his body, the spider stab Shino right through his chest that caused Shino to puke blood

Shino fought as hard as he can but can't pull himself out and said, "Damn! I'm immortal but still this hurts a lot"

Shino then just uses ˹Flare˼ and burned the spider to dust, upon the death of the spider Shino took his time pulling out the stuck spider leg in him and venture around the cave to find the exit

"Thanks to the manual god gave me I have a basic understanding about this world, Demon and humanity are currently in war because of the Demon King's resurrection, there are other races too like the Isekai manga I read, but what I'm intrigue about is the main factor of every classes this world has, Strength, Agility, and Intelligence" Shino said to himself

Strength: Status for defense, health and physical power

"Since I learn some Karate I probably has some good amount of it due to my training, Next is;" Shino said to himself

Agility: Status for speed, accuracy, and stamina

"The higher it is the better, it also seems that Agility defines how good are you in long rage combat, A bow or Spear, this Agility thing is going to be my weakness, maybe I'll train myself inside this cave while finding the exit, last is;" Shino said to himself

Intelligence: status for mana capacity, Magic power, and Knowledge

"Intelligence is probably my highest status from the three, thanks to my modern world knowledge living in a pre-medieval magical era will be somewhat easy, from my understanding magic chant are just there to help you to imagine how to bring your thought into reality, that's really the reason why I wish for large mana capacity, but god just gave me mana regeneration boost, that is okay though because it replenish my mana in instantly after I scorch that spider, but that just shows that my mana capacity is way too small for large scale magic" Shino said said to himself

Shino then encounter an overgrown Centipede with a steel like exoskeleton, while wondering around the cave and fought it.

~~~AAAAHHH!!!~~~

As Shino's scream of pain echoed through the cave he defeated it after his body torn into shred multiple time along his clothes

"Yup! Upping my Agility for better dodging is going to be necessary, Strength is less of my worries because I can take lethal hits without dying, but damn, if I keep fighting like this against overgrown mutated insect I might as well be naked. My clothes are all torn off" Shino said

Then Shino remember the ˹Thread Magic˼ god gave him

"Right the ˹Thread Magic˼, god gave it to me" Shino said

Shino then uses his thread magic to repair his clothes and experiment with it for a while

"˹Thread Magic˼ it seems I can create thread and manipulate it freely, I can also change it properties and color, it supposed to take a day of Life for every meter but it looks like it just tire me out" Shino said

"Okay time for change, I am grateful for this clothes god but white will just attract dirt and stain so I'll change it a bit" Shino said

Shino then modified his own clothes, the clothes change color from white to black, and also change its properties from normal silk, to heat-resistant silk making it fire proof

"Okay!! Fire proof clothing complete! My body may burn but not this clothes! Ahaha-ha-ha… Wait that is still bad" Shino said

"I'm immortal anyway so let it be, for now I need a weapon" Shino said

Shino look at the carcass of the centipede and said, "These exoskeleton are probably as tough as steel, should I forge a Japanese sword? I know the process and I'll probably have enough exoskeleton for trial and error, the problem is I really don't have any equipment do I?"

Shino kept thinking going around the place where he fought the centipede and remember the spider leg that pierce him

"AAhh! That could be use as a weapon, but it is too big and heavy, swinging it will be a huge pain" Shino said

Shino think again for an hour and come to conclusion

"Well I guess a poor man's sword is an option" Shino said with disappointment

Shino then start making his poor man's sword for hours, cutting a rod piece from the exoskeleton of the centipede by sawing using a thin thread that he made using the ˹Thread Magic˼, grinding one side of the cut piece to the rocks around the cave, and using thread magic to make a handle, and its done Shino's poor man's sword

"It is more of a crooked stick than a sword but still this is better than fist, let's go try it out" Shino said proudly

Shino continue to traverse the cave, and later on encounter an Overgrown Bat that has a talon, Shino swing his hand made sword at the bat and upon hit the sword snap in two

"Eh?! DAMN IT!! I put hours on that you stupid bat!" Shino said with a sad face

The bat bare it fangs to Shino's body and fly away, but Shino punch it making it drop him into a stalagmite that pierce him in stomach

"AAHH!! This freaking hurts! At all places I fell into a freaking natural spike!" Shino shouted while spitting blood

Shino then cast a skill ˹Blood Rage˼ and break the stalagmite he is stuck in and free himself and then cast ˹Fire Barrage˼ and aim it to the bat, like a plane shooting another plane the little fire balls went pass through the bat like it was nothing and came crashing down

"I need to get out of here, fast" Shino said while panting

˹Blood Rage˼: temporally increases the users Strength by 10 fold, in exchange of some stamina loss

˹Fire Barrage˼: creates 50 little fire balls that can travel in a speed of bullet and fire it consecutively or simultaneously; the consumption of mana is large each cast

˹Flare˼: Set an opponent in fire for a minute; low consumption of mana

˹Thread Magic˼: The user can make a Thread from his body and control it and its properties and color freely; It uses a day of the user life for every meter instead of mana
