What dropped in front of his feet was a hatchet about a third of his height. He picked it up and examined in closely. It was light, like about 1 or 2 pounds. Although Jacob was weak, he was still able to swing it with only a tad bit of effort. He ran a finger over the sharp edge of the steel alloy head and it ended up cutting his finger a bit, blood dripping down slowly.
The wooden handle fit snugly in his grip and the weapon overall seemed like a much better choice than the stick.
"Woah, now that's what I call an upgrade. Thank you my lord and savior" Jacob kowtowed gratefully.
Damn, this God of War guy has been helping me out so much. What was he? A sugar daddy? Even so, I gotta stay on his good side.

"I had to personally handpick my weakest weapon just for you, puny human. I could break your axe with my pinky."
"Okay, no need to brag like that. I guess I can use my new trusty fella on the core."
Jacob cautiously places his hatchet on the slime core and watches what happens. As the weapon made contact, the core broke, the sticky slime oozing out, fully covering the hatchet. Then, a blinding flash of white light burst out, forcing Jacob to shield his eyes. When it faded, the slime had vanished, but in its place, his hatchet pulsed faintly with a green glow, reborn as something far more lethal.
"Holy shit, this looks incredible!" Jacob read the text that hovered over his new item.
Slime Axe
Properties: Lightweight, acid resistance
Ability: Inflicts poison damage on hit
Jacob picks it up. Surprisingly, it wasn't tacky to the touch and felt like an regular hatchet. From the handle to the head was a light green, liquidy-looking substance. He swung is against a tree and the viscosity shifted, turning into a solid midair. As it landed, the corrosiveness easily melted through tree bark and the tree crashed with a loud BAM!
"Goddamn! You know what this means? I can go on a massacre! I'll show those slimy motherfuckers a death worser than getting slowly dissolved limb by limb." Jacob is the type to hold grudges.

"Don't waste your durability."
"Tsk, fine, boring. Now then, with my new weapon, I should get exploring! Jacob and war criminal god against the world"
As he kept exploring, he realized that there weren't really any new mobs spawning. Strange, maybe they'll be different ones at night? You know what else he noticed? That he was really hungry. Fortunately,the forest was relatively plentiful, so he was able to forage a few fruits. There were a few water sources too, through rivers and streams. Yes, the water was clean to drink, according to his very helpful god.
Jacob found a place to take cover in.
"Hm, I should probably wash my clothes first and take a bath while waiting for it to dry." Jacob took of his shirt, pants, but stopped at his boxers.
"...God of War, are you still watching me by chance?" Jacob questions.

"...Just act like I'm not here."
"Or you can switch to another channel!"
No reply.
Damnit, well, they're both men, just act cool. So Jacob fully undressed; it wasn't like he had anything to be ashamed of. As he was washing his clothes, he got a notification.
Goddess of Lust has joined the stream
Goddess of Lust sends a message
"Enjoying the show. You're much cuter than the past players."
Jacob stared at the message dumbfounded.
"G-Goddess OF WHAT?!"
