Yesterday Ray succeed creating his and the Ghaibus world's first prosthetic weapon, the blade that attached to an arm and used similar to how Katar used, a push dagger from India that maximize it's efficiency to do stabbing motion.
His left hand become harder to get damaged because of it's material that harder than steel, mythril metal.
Today he spent his day adapting to move his left hand as good as it was before his hand got chomped by Ripper phyton.
Hopping from tree to tree, sometimes he messed up and slip but didn't fall as his right hand always using it's high level Claw skill to grip the tree branch firmly.
His metal left hand that resembles mediveal arm armour, can be moved by using wind magic that he work so hard to gain control of as it's harder to use in this complex game than in old games that just use a button to release magic.
He practiced for hours until he feels like his moving his normal arm and he gain more Mana points as he practiced to control his magic.
Not only he practiced to move his new arm, he also wearing the Ripper phyton skull with ear that made from it's skin to resemble a goblin.
He use this vision-limiting helmet to prevent someone to recognize his face and further increase his Smell detection, Sound radar, and Heat sensor skill to make him not reliant of his eyes as he mainly hunt in the darkness of Phantom forest.
Ray's level 5 Smell detection skill makes him able to differentiate the smell of objects 25 meter around him.
Level 5 Sound radar skill have the ability to pin point wich sound comes from from an object 25 meter around him with a dot in the map and 3d hologram of surounding area on his vision if he close his eyes.
Lastly his level 1 Heat sensor skill can be used to detect heat of an object in 5 meter radius, this way a living thing that have heat on it's body can't hide with it's camouflage skin and smell.
He dedicated this week to level up those skill and some little trolling like throwing rocks to players from the trees and disappearing in the dark.
Ray spent his spare time to decorating his cabin sized underground base with magic fireflies lantern and furniture that he bought from the Starter town.
A wide storage is made to store all of his items and money in case he dies in the game so he didn't have to worry about that.
He also adding a kitchen complete with it's kitchen set in it as he grew tired to eating raw meat and fruit, the kitchen wall, ground and ceiling also covered in pieces of river stone to make it clean but natural look as he like to play survival game that can build his own house when before he started to play this game.
He make the chicken with bloated neck like frog the same as one that eaten by the Herb dog some time ago, the Announcer chicken as skewer with herb dog fur as the seasoning with salt from the starter town's market.
He surprised at the similarity of the real life chicken meat to the in game chicken and with the sauce that he made from peanut, soy souce, salt, and seaweed from the Starter town's market, it makes this roast chicken taste is almost reach perfection.
Announcer chicken got that name from it's skill that activate when it scream and make other Announcer chicken in the area to attack it's predator.
In total, he's now have three room in his base, such as a workshop, storage, and lastly a kitchen.
A week has passed and Ray opened his status.

He also practiced his Stun eye skill that he got from eating Stone snake, this skill in level 7 can stun all living thing that have eyes to be stared at to activate this skill for 7 second.
Maybe 7 second sounds too fast to be useful but in real combat situation even one second slip can be taken advantage to attack their opponent's weakness.
But this skill have major issue, that is unable to affect monsters that doesn't have eye like golem and giant carnivore plant.
Ray practiced all his attack skill before going to second layer of Phantom forest to prepare himself for stronger monsters.
After he defeat the Reaper phyton again easly after learning it's attack pattern in many times he fought it, he began to cross the long bridge that divide first and second layer.
With his Ripper phyton skull helmet, Herb dog fur cape, and Ripper phyton skin pants, this ponytail black haired and green eyed man walk on the slight broken and mossy bridge with his exposed abs and barefoot.
His left hand that replaced with bladed prosthetic metal arm keep holding the bridge's rope as he didn't want to fall to the abyss.
Once he arrived at the second layer of the Phantom forest, he realized how big the trees are that seemingly small from far away where he started to walk on the bridge.
The trees are twice higher than the first layer trees, it's trunk that can reach up to 70 meter makes Ray wonder how big the monster are from here.
He started to climb the nearest tree to avoid monsters just like newborn komodo dragon that immediately get out of it's nest and run towards tree to avoid predators, the grown up komodo dragons including it's own parent.
Once he get to the branch, he begin fo scout the area around him by hopping on some trees and activating his three sensory skills, Smell detection, Sound radar, and Heat sensor.
Bird like smell reaching his nose and the sound of crunching a seed can be seen 40 meters away from him, but at the same place a different smell exist.
He hopped towards the smell and sound quietly for a minute and he sneak quieter as he closer to the dot he see on his map.
A Truck-sized cassowary bird that has neon yellow crown can be seen eating football sized seed from the ground, it carelessly eating while something black coloured object sneaking from the bushes.
"Rawrrrrr!!!" That black object is now visible when it tried to jumped the giant bird.
Giant black panther that sized a little more than half of the giant cassowary body jump with it's claw and long sabertooth fang open.
It succeed to land both of his claws and jaw to the bird's back, but the bird doesn't give up it's life easly.
Blinding light appeared from it's crown and make Ray and the black fur sabertooth panther startled.
Once the [Shadow panther] fall with pain in it's eyes, the [Sunshine cassowary] immediately plan to rain it's predator body with lethal heavy kicks with it's sharp clawed leg.
When the big cassowary's leg almost hit the target, that big black panther disappear from it's place leaving a black smoke and and in a second appeared from the cassowary's shadow and bit it's neck.
Blood splashes and the big cat just hanging with it's teeth deep in the prey's neck.
The Sunshine cassowary struggle for it's life making one last kick to it's predator's leg but the Shadow panther jaw is already locked for couple of minutes.
Once the battle over, the Shadow panther start to eat the big bird with it's leg injured.
Ray facinated on how these monsters interact similar to how real ecosystem works with a fantasy superpowers twist to it.
"*Grumble* Looking at it eats makes me hungry too."
While the Shadow phanter busy ripping the Sunshine cassowary's meat, Ray erasing his presence as best as he can and walk towards tree branch above the big cat.
He know if he want the attack to be successful he must use surprise attack and went to lethal blow in a second without letting it escape or counter attack.
Once he squatting right above it, he use his leg strength to kick the branch so he fasten the fall and caught the Shadow panther's front neck with his nails and it's back neck with his jaw.
His level 20 Claw skill makes him able to make deep wound through the thickness of Shadow panther's fur and skin resulting in blood bath.
With another attack with intent to finish the job, he thrust his bladed prosthetic left arm that have the same length as short sword into the Shadow panther's heart through the one of it's rib opening.
Ray already have watch some hunting videos that prioritize targeting the heart to prevent the hunted animals escape and prolong the hunting time and risking it to be a failed hunt.
The Shadow panther failed to activate his Shadow step skill that make it able to teleport to another object's shadow and begin to feel limp.
With accumulated month worth of hunting experience, Ray immediately retreat to nearby tree expecting an counter attack and he started to watch carefully on the tree branch.
When the Shadow panther stop moving he climb down the tall tree and put it corpse to the branch and start to eat its meat raw as that the only way to get the monster skill that his [Phantom Goblin] title grant him.

"I eat the leftover of Sunshine cassowary meat but i didn't get the skill, must be because I'm not the one who kill it."
After finish eating, he bring the skin the pelt to sell at the Starter town and leave the rest as he didn't want to eat the meat but just want to eat the roast Announcer chicken and meat at his base.
He stop his exploration and go back to his base with hungry belly and continue to battle with Ripper phyton and hunt down all the Herb dog to further polish his skill.
Meanwhile in Ghaibus forum

Hey can someone tell me how to get easy money from hunting? I got killed by a herd of Blood bat and lost all my money and items. T-T
- SheepHorn
Yeah those bat is easy to kill if you just meet one of them, but doesn't matter if you kill one, another three bat already on your back draining your blood, i bet you go solo on the first layer of Phantom forest right?
- RedJasmine [Knight Hero]
That's your own fault then for not reading the guide and not bringing a party to watch your back.
- KarambitAssasin
Whoa...a Hero titled player commented on this forum.. but hey!! Just tell me how to get the money so i can buy all of my items back!
- EmperorKitty
Relax lol. Just do what everyone do, hunt many Herb dog as you can because many demands for it's pelt.
- BigBadAxe [Barbarian Hero]
Yeah about that... You can't do that strat anymore.
- EmperorKitty
Eh why??? You are not monopolize that strat of grinding money right lol.
- BigBadAxe [Barbarian Hero]
It's not like that! It's just our party can't find a single Herb dog in the entire first layer area.
- ScoutLeon
Yeah, she's in our party and I supposed to guide them to finish the quest. But what we didn't expect to find a unknown creature.
- EmperorKitty
A hero titled player like you can't even hunt a single Herb dog???
- RedJasmine [Knight Hero]
Do you guys find an alien or what?
- ScoutLeon
I'm not sure... there's no mention about new creature in the Ghaibus official wiki, maybe it's a NPC or hidden boss.
- BigBadAxe [Barbarian Hero]
That damn thing hunt down all the Herb dog and hanging them on the tree branch like a scene of horror movie.
- ScoutLeon
It can move fast and agile in the dark without any difficulty and disappeard in a second, it got humanoid body with snake like skull and long ear, fur on it's body and tail
- KarambitAssasin
That description feels familiar...
- RedJasmine [Knight Hero]
I hear a rumour that a weird goblin NPC with that description enter the Adventurer guild and sell a bunch of Herb dog pelt.
- BigBadAxe [Barbarian Hero]
That's definitely the guy!
- ScoutLeon
But even NPC can hunt and sell their items to another NPC, so i think that's just a very strong bugged NPC that ruin the balance of this game a little.
- EmperorKitty
I also don't think there's a selection of Goblin race in the player's character build, and it must be the only goblin who is not on the monster category.
- KarambitAssasin
How about Ripper phyton then? It's skin is quite expensive.
- RedJasmine [Knight Hero]
That first layer boss is no longer there as if someone constantly kill it every day, because of that my party can't go to the second layer of Phantom forest to finish one of our quest.
- RedJasmine [Knight Hero]
Our moral got down because of that and worst off all, we got stoned by unknown thing as it just gone in the thick forest...
-BigBadAxe [Barbarian Hero]
I'm gonna make a search party to find that NPC and hunt it!!!
- RedJasmine [Knight Hero]
Well, I got time so I'll join too, maybe other four Hero player also want to join.
- EmperorKitty
It's been a month after seven months of Beta testing period and one of Seven Heroes slot is still vacant huh...
- KarambitAssasin
Yeah, no one have the Hero Quest other than the six heroes and all of them got their Hero Quest in Beta testing period, it makes me think that Seven heroes is a typo of Six Heroes lol.
- ScoutLeon
Not only because of how high the difficulty of finding the quest was, even if you find it, the quest is unbelievably hard that you have to grind many stats and leveling skill to the highest to be able to win the quest and get the title [....-Hero].
- RedJasmine [Knight Hero]
I remember that time we can't form a party to beat the boss and forced to go solo to be able to enter the quest and end up losing many times.
-BigBadAxe [Barbarian Hero]
And forget about learning it's pattern, the boss AI can learn form previous battle and become stronger as you losing time to time, only when you set the surprise attack so successful that it can't fight back that you finally win....
-BigBadAxe [Barbarian Hero]
But forget about that! We still have ro find this damn goblin!
