Earth's Alpha Prime Chapter 7
Advertisement
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.
[(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.
[Lv.3 Poisonous Spider Killed]
[75 Life Energy Obtained]
[Lv.3 Poisonous Spider Killed]
[75 Life Energy Obtained]
[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.

Small Pond
In a world without systems, levels, or any standard power levels, Faust is a naturally skeptical person who always asks questions first and accepts after he gets confirmation. A lot of it. With some information unknown to the reader, represented as [?], Faust is left to discover who kidnapped him, where he is, if magic exists, and what to do while the reader silently observes him. And as for the YOU dear reader, I'll need your help choosing some things... Small Pond isn't meant to be a high-paced action light novel, but instead, there's a greater focus on world and character building in order to create a greater narrative. Expect the unexpected in this story ;) The release schedule will be paused, for now, I'm going to try and spend some time rethinking the intro and work on school.

STAR WARS: Knights of the Old Republic
Four thousand years before Anakin Skywalker was born, the Jedi thrived as the guardians of peace in the galaxy. The Republic, weakened by a costly war with the Mandalorians, faces now another great threat. A false Sith Empire created by two fallen Jedi, Revan and Malak, has risen from the ashes of that war. Now the Republic is on the brink of defeat to their once great hero, now turned Darth Revan. Hoping to protect the Republic at all costs, the Jedi dispatch an elite strike force to capture the Dark Lord. To the dismay of the Jedi, Revan is betrayed and killed by his apprentice Darth Malak, who proclaims himself the new Dark Lord of the Sith. Now with the entire galaxy at stake, the Jedi and the Republic must go to extreme lengths if they are to survive the seemingly endless forces the new Sith ruler commands. Only by the will of the Force, will they survive... This is a novelization of the popular video game by Bioware. One of my favorite stories within the Star Wars universe, I am putting my own little twists and style on this story in a way I could see potentially fitting into the new canon by Disney. I will be releasing new chapters periodically with the goal of trimming the story down a little bit as well. Enjoy, and of course constructive criticism always welcome, and if you like what you're reading, consider voting for my story.
