Once I finish my workout, I grab the speargun and go to breakfast. I catch a fish on my first attempt, so I decide to give it a little more time and see if I can catch another one. The next few attempts fail, but then I succeed and get a second fish.

- Congratulations, the fishing skill has advanced to level 3!

√ Fishing

Then I grab a handful of mushrooms and go back to my room to prepare breakfast. Since I have two fish and I'm sick of soup, I decide to grill the fish and sauté the mushrooms. I'll eat one fish now and the other later, it tastes better than the soup, but I'd still like to have some seasoning.

With a full stomach, I set out to continue mining. I plan to devote most of the day to it. I make good progress, though by the end of the day, already on my third day, I manage to clear almost five feet of tunnel. I go back to my room for dinner and go back to reading. I do it much faster now and feel like I'm actually learning the language instead of translating it all the time.

The next morning my routine is the same and after breakfast I go back to mining. By the middle of the day, when my fourth peak breaks, I'm about halfway through the tunnel.

- Congratulations, the Mining skill has advanced to level 5!

√ Mining

√ Level 5

- Strength +5 Endurance +2

- You can try to mine ore.

I go back and grab another pickaxe and return to mining. A few minutes later, as a section of rock breaks under my strike, I notice something strange. There is a bright spot on the rock; on closer look, it's not a rock I'm looking at.

√ MAGICAL OBJECT.

√ Armatite ore.

- A magical mineral, stronger and lighter than steel.

It is very difficult to work with.

I let myself get distracted and started mining the ore. It only took me an hour to extract the twenty-three kilos of ore that was there, so I thought it was worth the effort. Although I still have no blacksmithing skills, I figured I will eventually get it done when I have the equipment to do it.

I take the ore back to my room and then go back to continue working in the tunnel. I make about thirty more inches of progress before my pickaxe breaks again and I decide to call it a day. At that point I grab the shovel and clean everything 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 Empire I.

After breakfast I'm back to work on the tunnel, hopefully I'll be able to open it today or tomorrow. I'm on my eleventh dig and have about sixty centimeters to go when I get distracted by more ore. This time it's an even smaller vein, barely ten pounds, so it only takes me thirty minutes to mine it.

- Congratulations, the Mining skill has advanced to level 6!

√ Mining

√ Level 6

- Strength +6 Endurance +3

- You can try to mine normal ore.

I take the ore to my room and while I'm there I have a quick dinner, then return to the tunnel. I'm determined to break through as soon as possible. It takes me three more hours and another broken spike But I manage to break through. I poke my head out and look around. It's a large circular passageway running left to right from my tunnel.

- Congratulations, you have completed a mission!

Do you accept? Y/N

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

"Yes, I accept!"

I finish opening the hole leading to the sewers, but decide to leave the exploration until tomorrow, as I'm pretty exhausted. So I turn around and go back to my room to rest for the night.

- Congratulations, the Meditation skill has advanced to level 7!

√ Meditation

When I wake up in the morning, I go through my usual routine and start reading History of the Empire II while having breakfast. I'm eager to start exploring, but if it's more dangerous than the moat, I should be better prepared.

Then, once I finish eating, I take Black Razor out and work on carving the spider carapace into armor. It takes me a couple of hours to complete the armor.

These are some really cool extra abilities! When I try them all, I get an extra surprise.

- You can walk on spider webs without getting stuck as a spider.

Wow, did I create a set? But I wasn't trying, and I'm not complaining! That bonus will come in handy if I run into another spider.

I then set about modifying my fearsome wolf doublet so that it would fit over the breastplate without affecting my movements. Once that was done, I put everything on and did some combat training to make sure nothing would squeeze me, rub me or hinder my movements.

Once everything is settled, I sit down to dinner and continue reading. After I finish eating, I read for a couple of hours and then meditate for my usual six hours.

In the morning I do a light workout and go to breakfast. After breakfast I get dressed, put on my armor and grab all my weapons. Alright, I'm as ready as I can be, it's time to explore the sewers!
