Chapter 12 Raiding The Decaying Forest! [First]

• ***
• {Your attempts to craft a low-tier bow has failed!}
• ***
• A good hour and thirty minutes were just wasted but Clinton was not disheartened, this only made him verify his observations about this world again.
• From the onset, he was never good at crafting bows to begin with.
• Crafting a Wooden Spear and a Wooden Dagger compared to crafting a bow was a whole other level of complexity.
• For the first 2, any random hunter could do it but the same could not be said for a bow, it was much different.
• If somehow, the miserable undead system registered it that he successfully created a low-tier bow, he would have been suspicious about the true intentions of the cursed system since then, that would be the system helping him already.
• Clinton may have lived in the countryside with his grandmom for a time but that was it, he only had basic knowledge of the wild and some experiences due to his adventurous nature.
• Clinton may have seen the local hunters use bow and arrows to hunt a few times but this experience was in the minority.
• Most of the local hunters then hunted wild animals with their local guns.
• Those few experiences with a bow and arrow were nowhere enough for Clinton to create a working bow. All he did for the past hour and 30 minutes was trying his luck but, in the end, this confirmed it, he remained cursed.
• ‘Well, that was worth confirming,’ he thought, and then without letting it affect him, he jumped straight into using his other gathered materials.
• 4 Wooden Spears and 2 Wooden Daggers?
• In Clinton’s books, this was nowhere enough for what he had in mind after he equipped himself with weapons.
• Alone, with his weak skeleton hands and legs and his brain, with no skills, he was already killing level 1 and level 2 Green Goblins and Undead Trees ingeniously.
• Clinton wondered. ‘When armed with weapons now, how high can I raise the bar? Can I raid the whole decaying forest?’
• The mere thought of it sent excitement through his body. ‘That’s not impossible. Afterall, once I begin killing level 3 monsters, I’ll begin leveling up again’.
• This motivated Clinton to continue with his actions.
• Picking up the thick branches of the decaying trees, he started his work again, diligently grinding them against each other to sharpen their edge.
• The Master Craftsman was hard at work.
• 4 hours later…

• ***
• After hours of working at it, crafting more than 10 wooden weapons in the process, Clinton finally hit the jackpot, he created a mid-tier weapon.
• “Wow!” Clinton exclaimed as he stared at the newest wooden dagger that he managed to craft.
• This wooden dagger not only seemed sharper than all the others, but it also had a different color.
• Instead of the brown color of the others, this wooden dagger had a purplish hue that made it seem more menacing than the others.
• Clinton’s skeleton face had an eerie look of excitement on it at this moment.
• He looked into the distance. “Now, I rest, then hunt”.
• …
• Clinton slept for approximately 3 hours and when he woke up, he took inventory of all his weapons.
• He was about to start a raid of the decaying forest.
• ***
• {Weapons:}
• >Wooden Spear ×10<
• >Wooden Dagger ×9<
• ***
• 10 Wooden Spears and 9 Wooden Daggers…, Clinton reckoned that this was just enough for what he was about to do across this dark decaying forest.
• ‘Bone assembling!’
• The bones came together again, amalgamating to form the mid-tier undead skeleton, Clinton whose eyes now burned with ambition.
• Looking into the distance, Clinton did not hesitate as taking one step at a time cautiously like he already mastered since reincarnating into this world and entering this decaying forest, he followed the familiar route of his prey.
• And just about a minute later, he found his first target.
• ***
• {Warning! Enemy has been detected!}
• {You have encountered a Green Goblin! ×5}
• {You have encountered two level 3 Green Goblins!}
• ***
• The two level 3 Green Goblins were Clinton’s first target.
• ‘Be the first victims of Weapon Master Clinton!’
• And then, he pounced!
