Chapter 1: A Lying Witch and a Warden

Y/N: "Almost over."

He could feel his heart beating fast in his chest, adrenaline pumping through his veins, and despite his current situation... he was smiling. He was happy, he was having fun, he was playing the game where he only had one life. If he lost, that was it. No reset button, no respawn point, no wake up in bed a day before or after. And that was how he liked it. Aiming at one of the spiders, he was stopped once some kind of projectile zoomed past him, scratching his shoulder. He hissed in pain and fell to his knees, letting his wand fall to the ground and feeling the sudden urge to puke his lungs out.

Poison
Type: Status Effect
Duration: 6 seconds
Slowly losing HP

Y/N struggled to get up from the sudden sickness, and that was enough time for one of the spiders to jump and land on his neck to bite down. The boy grabbed the spider and yanked it out of his neck which was now bleeding from the bite, then released a Magic Bullet while holding the spider, killing it instantly. With shaky legs, he rose from the ground just in time to block another projectile that was aimed right at his face with the back of his hand. It almost pierced right through, and he could see it was a poison barb. It was as big as a pen and very sharp. He gritted his teeth and pulled the barb out, before picking his wand back up and taking aim.

Y/N: "Hurts..."

He muttered, but that didn't stop him from firing at the spiders. His aim was a bit off, but was enough to hit the little critters who jumped him, trying to finish the weakened human off. Now all that remains was him and the Broodmother. Speaking of Broodmother, the giant spider finally decided to make her move and rushed forward with it's fangs out, but didn't account for one thing. A shield right in it's face, followed by a series of repeated blasts of magic. It backed off a bit in a daze, allowing Y/N to drink an MP and HP potion, finally feeling the effects of the poison going away. Wiping his mouth with the back of his good hand, he got ready to fight the boss for real this time.

Y/N: "Come at me, ya manky wanker!"

The big spider didn't take kindly to the insult as it fired a volley of poison barbs, but Y/N blocked them with the shield while moving back to take cover behind a rock. Once he was in the clear, he began firing back, starting a war of attrition. Would he run out of MP potions first, or would the Broodmother become exhausted enough to stop it's attacks? The answer came quickly in the form of a charging mad spider with the intent of tearing it's opponent apart. It shot another string of web at the rob, pulling it out of the ground much to Y/N's surprise, who almost lost his balance. It then spun the rock around, and then threw it at the boy, but the wind up was slow enough for him to be ready and dodge to the side. His hand still hurt, but thanks to the potion it healed enough for him to fire from the wand and his hand.

Shot after shot, the spider backed away more until it couldn't, and with one final point blank Magic Bullet, it succumbed to injuries and fell down. Finally, he did it. He went against a foe much powerful than him and won. Y/N fell to his knees, exhausted, when he saw the Broodmother disintegrate. He assumed it was just like any other monster when defeated, but his eyes widened in curiosity when he saw a square hovering over the corpse. It was just like the ones from the chests at the end of a dungeon. He got up slowly with an excited smile, hissing a bit from the pain still in his hand, and made his way over. With his good hand, he reached out and touched the square, which proceeded to spin around before stopping and showing his reward.
