《I Died and Got Summoned to Another World as a WHAT?!?!》Ep. 14 Escape Part 2
Advertisement
I come out of my meditation six hours later feeling completely refreshed. I immediately do my workout routine then do a combat routine with the longsword.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Sword Basics has progressed to level 2!

Once I am done exercising I grab the spear and go to get breakfast. I catch a fish on my first try so I decide to give it a bit more time and see if I can get another. The next few attempts fail but then I succeed and get a second fish.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Fishing has progressed to level 3!

Then I pick a handful of mushrooms and return to my room to cook breakfast. Since I have two fish and am sick of soup I decide to roast the fish and saute the mushrooms. I will eat one fish now and the other later, it tastes better than the soup but I still wish I had some seasoning.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Cooking has progressed to level 4!

Int +4
You can cook somewhat decent food.
With my stomach full I head off to continue mining, I plan to spend most of the day at it. I make good progress although by the end of the day I am on my third pick I manage to clear almost five feet of tunnel. I return to my room for dinner and go back to reading. I am getting much faster at it now and feel I am genuinely learning the language rather than translating all the time.
The next morning my routine is the same and after breakfast I return to mining. About halfway through the day, when my fourth pick breaks, I am at about the halfway point of the tunnel.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Mining has progressed to level 5!

You can attempt to mine ore.
I go back and get another pick and go back to mining. A few minutes later when a section of rock breaks away under my blow I notice something odd. There is a bright spot in the rock, looking closer it isn't a rock I am staring at.
*MAGIC ITEM*
Armatite Ore
A magical ore, stronger and lighter than steel.
Very hard to work with.
I let myself be distracted and start mining out the ore. It only takes me an hour to mine out the twenty-three pounds of ore that is there so I figure it was worth the effort. Even though I don't have blacksmithing yet I figure I will eventually get it when I have the equipment to do it.
I take the ore back to my room then return to continue working on the tunnel. I get about a foot further before my pick breaks again, deciding to call it a day. At that point I grab the shovel and clean up before returning to my room for dinner. As usual I read while I eat and before going to meditate for the night I finish History of the Empire I.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Linguistics has progressed to level 5!

Str +4 End +4
After breakfast I return to working on the tunnel, I am expecting to break through either today or tomorrow. I am on my eleventh pick and have about two feet left to go when I am distracted by more ore. It is an even smaller vein this time, only about ten pounds, so it only takes me thirty minutes to mine it out.

Str +6 End +3
You can attempt to mine normal ore.
I take the ore to my room and while I am there I eat my dinner quickly, then I return to the tunnel. I am determined to break through as soon as possible. It takes me three more hours and another broken pick but I manage to break through. I stick my head through and look around, it is a large round passageway going left and right from my tunnel.
*DING*

'Ugh another one? Well, at least I get more stat points.'

I finish breaking out the hole into the sewers but decide to leave starting to explore till tomorrow as I am fairly exhausted by this point. So I turn around and return to my room to rest for the night.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Meditation has progressed to level 7!

When I wake up in the morning I go through my normal routine and start reading History of the Empire II while having breakfast. I really want to start exploring but if it is more dangerous than the pit I should really be better prepared.
So once I am done eating I take out Black Razor and work on carving the spider carapace into armor. It takes me a couple of hours just to complete the breastplate.

Set Bonus: Web Walk
You can walk on spider webs without getting stuck like a spider.
Wow I made a set? But I wasn't trying to, not that I'm complaining! That bonus will be really handy if I run into another spider.
Then I set about modifying my Dire Wolf Jerkin so it will fit over the breastplate without impairing my movements. Once that is done I put everything on and do a combat workout to make sure nothing is going to pinch, chaff, or hinder my moves.
Once everything is settled I sit down to have dinner and continue reading. After I finish eating I read for a couple of hours and then meditate for my normal six hours.
In the morning I go through a light workout and go to catch breakfast. After breakfast I get dressed, put my armor on, and grab all my weapons. Alright I'm as ready as I can be, time to explore the sewers!

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
