After a bit of thought, Joseph decided to invest one level into the racial class [Poison Taratect] and the other into the job class [Poison user].
'I can change my mind later anyway.' Joseph thought while observing the changes that happened to his status screen.

His racial and job levels increased by 1 and all his stats increased as well especially his magic related stats which were at a pitiful 1 before.

Some of the racial skills available were {Night Vision} • {Poison Resistance} • {Poison Attack} • {HP Auto-Recovery} • {Herculean Strength} • {Sturdy} • {Thread weaving} and {Poison synthesis}.
He could choose only three skills so he chose {HP Auto-Recovery} • {Night Vision} and {Poison Resistance}.

Considering the ease of leveling up and the wide assortment of options in every aspect of the game, Joseph guessed that most of his time would be spent picking and choosing.
Joseph could have sat by the river and leveled up more but he decided to search for a village, his current goal was gathering information about the game not reaching level 100, he would do that in due time.
After a few minutes of walking along the stream, Joseph got more and more used to walking in his spider body. After a while he started walking faster and faster and soon enough he was running at full speed without much issue.
As the trees whizzed by him Joseph noticed movement in the trees from the corner of one of his eyes deeper in the forest. Even though he could tell that it was a red flag his goal was to gather information so he still stopped and went back to investigate.
Arriving at the tree where he had noticed the movement he started looking around for any clues.
Just as he was distracted he noticed something swing at him from the corner of his eye. Clumsily dodging the attack, he made distance while looking around for his attacker and before he could get his bearings he was hit from the back throwing him away and lowering his HP by a fourth.
The ground shook and all the trees around Joseph made wood creaking and splintering sounds as their roots broke out and emerged from the ground one after the other.
Glancing down at his mini-map Joseph noticed that he was surrounded by a circle of red dots and they were getting more numerous by the second.
Instantly judging that he had no way of winning, Joseph immediately tried to break through the encirclement and escape but he was instantly swatted back inside the circle. He was promptly beaten to death by the rest of the trees without any resistance.
.
[You have died.]
[Would you like to respawn?]
[Yes] or [No]
This was the screen presented to players who died in Yggdrasil. Once they died, players could either respawn and lose five levels or wait for someone to revive them and avoid that penalty.
As he had no friends Joseph selected [yes] and re-spawned back to the same place he had first spawned in.
'To be honest I was sort of upset at what humans did to nature but now I totally understand.' Joseph thought before checking his Status screen and finding that he had lost all his skills, classes and levels.
Opening his inventory he found both the branches he picked up but only one of the fish he had, remained, the other disappeared.
'Does a single item drop from your inventory everytime you die or is the number of items random, furthermore are the items that drop chosen at random or are there certain criteria that make some items more likely to be lost. More testing is needed. One way I can think of to avoid losing a valuable item is to completely fill your inventory with random trash to lower the chances of loosing that item.' Joseph thought as he walked to the river.
'That's something else to test more thoroughly later on but for now it's time to commit genocide to commit an even bigger genocide, a genocide which makes the lesser one justified and after commiting the lesser genocide it would have been a waste of lives not to commit the bigger genocide, making both genocides completely morally and objectively justifiable.' The clump of cells thought as he started fishing.
'Speaking of murder, in my first life i remember reading about the three questions that need to be asked before commiting murder.' Joseph thought while stepping on a fish making it splatter on the ground.
'The first question is the question of Pragmatism. Do I need to do this?' Joseph thought as he hurled a fireball at the stream and watched the water evaporate as white steam rose and left a few fish scorched black.
'The second should be the question of morality. Can I live with myself?' Joseph thought as a lightning bolt formed Infront of him and whizzed towards a flock of birds that took into the air after being frightened by the fire ball. With the sound of a thousand birds chirping the lightning bolt struck it's target making it rain feathers.
'And the third should be the question of Consequences. How will this effect their loved ones?' Joseph thought as he stood next to the river and watched the living trees be engulfed by a very large fire ball and flail around while on fire.
'A normal person asks all of these questions to themselves before commiting murder, a selfish person asks only the first and third questions of themselves and a foolish person only considers a single one, And none of these questions ever cross the mind of an insane person.' Joseph thought as the image of the last tree succumbing to it's fiery fate and joining it's brethren as part of Joseph's camp fire reflected on his red spider eyes.
After a satisfying revenge and a plentiful harvest Joseph checked the fruit of his labor.
