"[Fireball]!"

A blazing ball of fire flew out of Harri's staff, hitting a massive spider.

"[Rock Bullet]"

A small stone erupted from Harri's magic staff, penetrating the spiders head, ending its miserable life.

"Hey guys, let's fall back, for now, I've found a new mechanic!" Harri yelled out.

"Fine, create a rock wall," Atogin replied.

"Understood,[Stone Wall],"

The cave floor started to create a small wall. Allowing the group to escape from the spiders. After five minutes of running, they decided to stop and set up a small camp. Harri used his [Infinite Item Box] and pulled out a cauldron and a stand, as well as some spider corpses which he handed to Kaloko.

Kaloko's Non-Battle Job was [Forager], it allowed her to disassemble monster parts and increase their price, she can also find natural materials much easier. The unique ability she got from 'The Creator' was called [Drain Appraisal]. [Drain Appraisal] allowed her to get information after she uses her ability on non-living or once-living beings.

Kaloko used [Drain Appraisal] on the spiders to figure out parts of the dungeon after she disassembled the spider corpses, she gave the meat to Nicko and the rest to Harri to put back in the [Infinite Item Box]. Nicko put the meat into the pot and created a fire with some other meat.

Nicko's Non-Battle Job is [Mediocre Cook], he can cook decent meals, as well as improve on those meals. The reason why he chose [Mediocre Cook] is due to his unique ability. He gains abilities from monsters by eating them. Although he cannot level up those abilities by eating the same monster, he has to level it up on his own. His special ability is called [Glutton].

"So Harri, why did we stop our grind?" Kaloko asked Harri.

"My [Fire Affinity] and [Pebble Affinity] have changed to [Blaze Affinity] and [Stone Affinity]," He replied.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"It says that I now have [Skill trees], and I'll need a [Grimoire] to access more of it,"

"Well, there is something I picked up," Enar replied.

"What is it Enar? Did you find a grimoire?"

"Surprisingly, Yes,"

Enar then threw Harri a tattered book which he caught. As soon as he caught it, Harri used [Appraisal].

[[Appraisal] has reached level 10]

[[Appraisal] has become [Analyze lvl 1]]

[You have gained [Information skill tree]]

[Need grimoire to access more of [Information Skill tree]]

Not caring about another ability changing, he immediately looked at the Status board.

[Old Grimoire]

[Use: 1]

[Allows: To Access [Skill Trees] Partially]

[Use now?]

[Yes] [No]

[Yes]

The book disintegrated and another Status Board appeared.

[You can now partially use [Skill Trees]]

"Open, skill tree [Fire Skill Tree]" Harri said

A small circle appeared in front of Harri, and that circle grew three lines and create more circles. The first circle read [Base Fire]. Harri continued and looked at the three circles above them, two of them had the word [Locked] on them, whilst the middle circle read something different.

[Burnfire]

[Requirements: Mix [Air affinity] with [Blaze affinity] outside the body]

[Difference between currently chosen flame]

[Mana consumption: +10%]

[Average Damage: + 25%]

Since Harri understood this quite well, he decided to it quickly. Harri created a small fire in his right hand, and then a small current of wind in his left hand. Harri then moved his hands closer together, combining the two little balls of magic. A larger flame then erupted from Harri's hands and a small status board appeared.

[You have created [Blazefire]]

[Would you like to equip?]

[Yes] [No]

[Yes]

[You have equipped [Blazefire]]

"What was that?" Atogin asked.

"It's apart of the [Fire Skill Tree], it allows me to change my [Fire], making it more powerful," Harri replied.

"So if I find a [Old Grimoire] and use it, I'll be able to use these [Skill Trees]?"

"Probably,"

"I'll keep an eye with my [Awareness] skill," Kaloko then said.

"Isn't that the skill you gained with you [Non-Battle Class]?" Harri then replied.

"Yes,"

"Well then, good to know,"

"It is, now Nicko, is that spider soup ready yet?"

"It's been ready for a while, " Nicko replied.

"Then let's eat,"

Harri then got some bowls and spoons from his [Infinite Item Box] and gave them to everyone. Nicko filled the bowls with a suspicious-looking bubbling blue liquid, with everyone being so hungry, they ate without any hesitation, not caring about the taste.

After they were done, the group just use some magic to clean the dishes. Before they finished packing up and the fire was still alit, the group heard a large scuttle. Everyone noticed this and drew their weapons.

"Don't come near us, I have [Blaze affinity]!" Harri yelled into the darkness where the firey staff did not reach.

The scuttling was then heard again behind everyone, the entire group turned around again. The next time the monster scuttled, Kaloko released and arrow in the direction of the sound. Everyone was panicking until Harri heard a small voice.

"Please stop running around, I believe that my master will help you," the voice said.

Harri took notice of this and told everyone.

"Did you hear that?" Harri asked.

"Don't tell me your hearing voices again Harri, do we have to find a lamer mage?" Kaloko chuckled.

"No, it was asking the monster to stop running around,"

"Who would do such a thing?"

"I-i would m-master," The voice said.

Harri looked down to Dropley, who was what he guessed staring back.

"Dropley, is that you?" Harri asked.

"Yes it is master, I'm trying to communicate to that monster," The blue blob replied

"But how, and why can you talk to me?"

"It's telepathic master, and it's because you gained the [Skill tree] that your [Beast Tamer Magic] has gained the ability of [Familiar Communication], another reason is that I've evolved overnight,"

Harri looked closer at Dropley, finally noticing that it was larger and now had a black core in the middle of it.

"We'll talk about that later, but can you tell that monster to come out?"

"You won't be able to hear the monster but I can tell you what I hear,"

"Sounds good,"

"Alright. monster, my master would like to look at you, since he cannot understand our basic tongue,"

Harri then told everyone of what Dropley was doing.

"Everyone please calm down, I believe that Dropley is talking to our intruder," Harri explained to everyone.

"How do YOU know?" Kaloko asked. "If so, is it the same voice before we entered the Kethral dungeon?"

"No, Dropley looked at me, and the voice was way different,"

"Suit yourself, Harri,"

Harri looked back at Dropley.

"Dropley any progress so far?"

"Yes Master, the creature wants you to say hello to it, only you,"

"I see, thanks Dropley,"

"Please follow me, Master,"

"Fine,"

Harri then followed the small blob a few metres forward before they stopped. An arm grew from Dropley which then made a small gesture to come closer to the monster. Harri then looked closer to the monster that came out. The monster that caused all that havoc, was a spider. The spider was very small in fact, it was just around the same size as a regular huntsman.

Due to its size, Harri decided to use [Analyze] on it instead of straining his eyes.

[Nocte deque fabulosa albino kethral araneae]

[A unique spider only found in the Kethral Dungeon]

[Grows extremely fast until a survivable size]

[Can change its size by using body matter to create string]

[Has an affinity to [Light] and [Dark]]

[First evolution monster]

[Status: Healthy]

[Gender: Female]

The moment Harri saw the word 'unique' in its biography, he was startled. But looking at the compatibility between them, he saw potential. Harri looked back at Dropley and asked it a question.

"Dropley, could I talk to this spider?" Harri asked the blob.

"Of course you can master, just place your hand on me and I can translate your thoughts to this monster,"

"Thank you Dropley,"

"Just speak very simple, like a caveman,"

"Understood,"

Harri placed his hand onto Dropley and his throat started to feel a little tingly. After this tingling started to calm down, Harri tried to talk to the spider.

"Hello, I, Harri," He said, waiting for the spider to respond.

"No, name, you, scary," The spider replied. "No, Kill, Please,"

"Me, No, Kill, You,"

"Thank, You,"

"Why, You, Here?"

"Boss, Scared, I, Cast, Out,"

"Why?"

"Me, Rare, Very, Strong, When, Older,"

"I, See,"

"No, One, Want, Me,"

"Me, Want, You,"

"Why?"

"You, cute, strong, come, with, me,"

"Why?"

"To, live, I, tame, you"

Harri then held out his other hand to the small spider. The small spider then touched Harri's hand with its arm.

[A Monster has decided to join you]

[Accept Request?]

[Yes] [No]

[Yes]

[Taming Successful]

[Please choose a name for your new companion]

[You can change the name later]

[ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _]

"[Rache]" Harri said out loud.

[The [Nocte deque fabulosa albino kethral araneae] has now been named [Rache]]

"Rache, thank you for the name Harri," The small spider said.

The spider was able to talk to Harri, not like a caveman, they could communicate normally.

"Your welcome, now come up to my shoulder,"

The small spider then crawled it's way up to Harri's right shoulder, where it snuggled into the fabric of the coat he was wearing. Due to the scuttling calming down, everyone came over to Harri.

"Did you find the problem?" Nicko asked Harri.

"Yes I did, just a very small spider with incredible possibilities," Harri replied.

"Where is it then?"

"Firstly, that 'it' is a she, and secondly it's on my right shoulder,"

Everyone came over and started to stare at Harri's right shoulder. One after another, they were able to see the minuscule arachnid.

"Can I eat it?" Nicko asked.

"Use [Glutton] on another unique creature Nicko, and you Kaloko, remember your ability [Drain Appraisal] kills a live target, remember that Goblin?" Harri said in a careful tone.

"Oh yeah," Kaloko replied.

"Anyway, Nicko, you can eat Rache's exoskeleton when IF sheds, and Kaloko, you can use your ability IF Rache dies,"

"So you named your secondary beast 'Rache', what abilities does she have?" Enar asked.

"I used [Analyze] and it said that she has a great affinity to [Light] and [Dark],"

Enar was a bit shocked to hear that since this was her first time about hearing a monster that was able to do magic.

"I see," Enar replied.

"I think her [Dark Affinity] has levelled up to the next [Affinity] which is [Shadow]," Harri continued.

"So that's a higher technique than what yourself or myself can or will use for a while,"

"Yes, Miss Hero,"

"Another thing, Harri, can you ask your new pet about the right route to the boss of this dungeon,"

"I believe so, Rache has met with the dungeon boss before,"

"That is Right Harri," Rache then said.

"Can you still remember the way?" Harri asked her.

"Of course, Harri,"

"Then lead the way Rache,"

"It's this way," Rache pointed with one of her eight legs.

"I see, everyone, Rache said this way,"

"I'll guess we follow you for now" Atogin replied.

Everyone got out their weapons and went further into the dungeon, knowing that soon, they will complete it.
