"It's kind of scary how the game changed so much in just two days. It like someone used their power to do this but how?"
Xander didn't ponder over it too much and decided to settle his stats before he finally venture into the deep remote caves.
Since he has 25 points he decided to add to the ones that was most crucial now which was his stamina.
When he was fending off the huge dragon flies he noticed that he gets tired easily so that would definitely be a problem. He added ten stat points to Stamina.
[Stamina: 15/15]
Another thing would be his Agility. Being extremely nimble and quick during battles was very important. When he faced his first dragon fly, he was almost too late to duck... six points to Agility.
[Agility: 10]
Seeing that he has nine points left he looked at both [Strength] and [Mana] and finally decided to allocate his remaining points to both. Six points to strength and three points to Stamina.
[Strength: 11]
[Mana: 100/100]
"Huh?"
Xander was confused as he saw that his Mana points went up to 100 from 70 by allocating ony three points.
Doing the math Xander made a conclusion about how stat points to Mana are converted.
"So one stat point equals ten points of Mana, that's okay."
Xander then stood up and looked back at the boulder that blocked the cave he was in. He looked at his hands and then back at the boulder.
'I wonder if I can move that now.' He thought as he walked up to the boulder and placed both of his hands on it.
Putting energy into his legs he began pushing the boulder with all the strength in his body. He only had two times his strength so pushing the boulder should be easier.
"Haha. It's moving." Xander said with delight as he stepped back only to see that the boulder didn't move a millimeter.
His expression then fell as he looked up at the hole in the roof and then at the distant dark tunnel.
"Seems like climbing is the way," Xander said as he removed his gaze from the darkness that seemed to have no end.
The hole on the ceiling was directly above the side opposite the entrance of the cave. The wall didn't have too many protrusions for scaling but he could work with it as they were still enough.
The top of the cave was close to fifteen metres high from the ground floor so it will take time.
'It's just to climb right? Nothing could go wrong.' He thought, a sweat drop forming on his face.
Xander imagined a lot of things that could go wrong. He imagined himself falling from the ceiling, he imagined there was a trap on the wall that will suddenly trigger and shoot out an arrow that will pierce his throat and many more types off traps and falls.
"I'm starting to rethink climbing." Xander said with a bitter smile as he moved away from the wall and began walking towards the eerie darkness.
*RUUUUUAAAARRR*
Xander stopped in his tracks as a loud roar bellowed from within the dark tunnel that he was about to walk into. The feeling of dread filled his being.
The creature's roar was so loud that it echoed around the entire cave tunnels and by the echo, Xander could tell that the tunnel was extremely deep, large and empty.
Empty was of course an irony, he could tell now that at least there was one terrifying existence in the tunnel that he doesn't want to meet.
Xander, with no choices left, decided to climb the steep wall to escape through the hole.
He walked up to the wall and began looking at all the protrusions, the strong ones and the weak ones, increasing his chances of not falling and reaching the big hole in the ceiling.
After checking all the thick protrusions Xander then took his first grab, a fat bump in the wall and began climbing.
He was smiling internally as he was going to finally leave this cave.
"It's either monsters that will kill me or hunger, which is also a monster too. I have no choice but to leave this place." He said, stretching his arm to reach one of the protrusions that were a little bit far from him.
He had many things he was confused about. Where was he? What took him? Is this really what the game turned into?... +43 questions.
Then he remembered something that he saw before he was knocked out. Glowing blue pupils in the darkness, and white sharp looking fangs. He could remember the feeling of the creature's sharp claws on his skin as he was being carried and it made his body shudder lightly.
"Yes, I'm almost there." Xander said said exhilarated as he looked at the hole that was a few centimeters away from his hand.
He grunted as he stretched his hand towards the hole but unfortunately for him, his hand couldn't reach it.
"Damn it!"
Xander then casted a glance down and saw that he was quite high from the ground and if he falls, he would die or even break multiple bones.
He then looked at the hole above him with a fierce expression, furrowed brows, sharp gaze... he wanted to take a risk.
He jumped from the protrusion that he stood on and stretched his hand towards the hole, wanting to grab it and escape.
His hand reached the hole and he put his hand on it... gripping it for his dear life.
But something was wrong, the circular surface in the hole was very smooth and slippery, just like glass from his world and Xander's hands were slipping already, but slowly.
He gritted his teeth as he begun pulling himself up but it was already too late, his hand slipped and he fell... from over a height of fifteen metres.
Xander didn't panic and quickly stretch to grab one of the protrusions in the wall. But it broke immediately and he hit his back on the hard ground surface.
Luckily the protrusion held him for a few seconds, reducing the force of impact by a considerable margin and he was able to survive.
Xander curled on the floor. He was cold, and he was hungry. His back ached and his chest hurt.
He stayed like that for a few hours and looked toward the darkness like as if he'll find food and a warm bed in it.
"Seems like I have no choice." Xander said, standing up as he began walking to the eerie tunnel that will probably lead him to the monstrosity that made that terrifying sound earlier.
