Chapter 7
Though I was quite shocked to what just happened, I then get back to my senses, and hurriedly pulled the dead corpse of the {Bear}, out of the cave. It took quite some time to do it, as the terrain is going down, so pulling it up was quite a labor, especially with all those rocks and uneven pathway.
After taking it out, I then brought it to the boat, went back and took the full stack sack, and headed back to my island. I needed to skin this monster, and also get my head to what just happened, and what should I do about it.
.....
After I dismantled the corpse, by peeling its fur, taking out its fangs, extracting its organs, and chopping its meat, I then place each one at their designated boxes. The fangs and fur are washed, and were then sunbathed. The meat were also placed under the sun, after applying some salt on it. The organs can be sold, especially if it's from a [Silver Tier] rank {Bear}, but as there are no shops, or guild near me, they are pretty much useless to me, so I thrown them out.
As it still quite early in the afternoon - 1 pm - I will use all my remaining time to study, and get as much information regarding this "thing", that just pop out of nowhere in front of me
Sitting down outside of my house, I then
"Status!"
I yelled at the very 1st word that came to mind, when it comes to isekai and stuff
.....?
"..... Guess that wasn't the right one, ha... Um..."Status Window!"
.....?
Swish
"Stats!"
"Window!"
"Status Screen!"
"Status Screen?" (in meek voice)
"Link!"
"Pops Up!"
"Link Start!"
"Screen!"
"Stats Profile!"
"Status Profile!"
"ZA Warudo!"
Chirp Chirp Chirp
Getting no response to any of those things, which I took from each and every different isekai, and tensei series, I was quite puzzled why. Deeply lost in thought
"Should I do it with a pose?"
I ask myself. Thinking through it, I then sigh and stood up. I won't know the answer if I just sitting pretty here. Moving a bit forward
"Status Window!"
I said, as I sway my hand towards my right
....
But it seems it wasn't the right one also, so
"Status Window!"
I yelled, with pride and vigor, as I sway my hands to my right, my left on my pocket, and walk like an intimidating tug, like those one in GeGe Bizarro, a very popular anime
Getting no response either, I just then move on to the other, and made some several tries, with different poses, like
"Link Start!"
With my right elbow resting on my left arm, right hand on my left eye, and legs wide open, like one of those chuunibyou people. I also did the same pose, but with my head tilting back, a very popular pose also, like one of those from MoMo's Gatorade
"Za Warudo!"
And a menacing, bizzare, back-breaking, bending-backwards pose, from one of the popular, or among of the popular male, anime meme template characters, Diodorant, from GeGe Bizarro.
I also did name call each one of those I remember, in a whisper, or in thought
'Link Start!'
"Status Screen" (whisper)
Getting no response either, I disregard the name calling as I went over to the shed, took my pick-axe, hold its hilt with both of my arms, aimed at the ground below me, and
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
"Pierce Strike!"
Bang
Swung my pick-axe down, as I yelled the name of the skill I received
"..."
Yet nothing happened, as it merely dug a small portion of the ground. Thinking that my stance, or my swing was the problem, I redo it once again, but even with several tried none of them works, which is totally bizarre. I just received a skill, yet I don't know how to use the said skill? Nor do I know where did my skill go? Or how do I look at my skill? I don't know anything about it.
Sighing, I then tried wracking my brain, thinking what other terms, words, or whatever could I use, instead of the term "status" and "window"
"Profile?"
Pops
".... Oh come on!"
Slap
I yelledly complain, as I slap my leg in annoyance. I then place my face on my left arm in shock, then caress my forehead, before I then look upfront, and saw the same see through, white screen, which 1st appeared when I received my 1st skill.
Looking at my [Profile], I could see my name, my level, my stats, and my skill
[Profile]
[Name: Shin Sora]<
[STR: 143]<
[AGI: 1.5]<
[INT: 0]<
[Rank: Copper]<
[Skill/s:]
[Pierce Strike]<
<> A powerful piercing attack, made from desperation and fury.
<> Deals 6% damage. [Mastery: 0/ 100]
Though I was quite shocked for my 143 STR, but I didn't see any health bar, or my mana, so I guess there wasn't one here, or my level is just too low, or I just lack the basic knowledge of it, but looking closely to my status, I then saw those "<" thing. Curious, I then clicked the one in my name 1st.
[Profile]
[Name: Shin Sora] >(click)
<> [8 years old/ 33 years old]
<> A reincarnated person, and was also summoned, a lucky among the lucks.
"33 years old?"
Baffled and shocked to it, I then think through it.
"... Is it 'the age I died' + 'years I been here'? Because that is the only explanation I could think of, as I died at the age of 25, and I have been living here for 8 years now, which is 33 years in total"
Seeing what does the lesser than sign means, I then clicked all the remaining ones.
[STR: 143] >
<> 0.2 is added per day, when the user does a strength related workout. 1 is added per day if the user went to a battle. 0.5 is added when the user killed something.
"0.2 only? Then how did I have 143?
Thinking deeply on it
"Per day?.... In this world, unlike in earth, we have 28 days per month, with 12 months per year, so-"
I then started scribbling in the ground with a sharp tool.
"28 x 12 is 336 days, with 2 years being here, that's 672 days in total. It's been a month here, so 672 + 28 is 700, multiply that by 0.2 is... 140... Did I get the remaining 3 from the 1st hunt I did, and the fight against that {Bear}? And killing them too?"
That might explain everything then, but getting such number for 2 years of farm work, and labor in the tunnel, I don't know how much STR does other people have then.
" Especially those who are adventurers"
[AGI: 1.5] >
<> 0.5 is added per day when the user runs a short distance. 1 is added per day when the user runs a long distance.
"So that's why my AGI is 1.5 only, I only did run twice, and both from the same monster too"
[INT: 0] >
<> 0.7 is added per day when the user is using magic, or dealing magical damage. 1.5 is added per day, when the user killed something.
"Not surprising, I just have my 1st skill today, but quite unfair for it to have 0.2 league above strength"
[Rank: Copper] >
<> 30 request is needed to rank up
<> Current request finish [0/ 30]
"Request? I guess this is related to those one posted in the guild board, or something"
[Skill/s:]
[Pierce Strike] >
<> Skill can't be used, not until it was unlock
<> Do you want to unlock this skill? [Y/ N]
Seeing such question, I then clicked 'yes' without hesitation.
<>Skill unlocked.
Right after that, I then took my pick-axe, stood up, went a bit further, I then raised my pick-axe and
"[Pierce Strike]!"
Bang!
"!!.... Woah...ha... Hahah..... Holy cow"
I exclaimed in delight, as the attack I just made, created a small crack size hole, maybe 3 inches wide. Though I am quite happy to it, truly glad really, but
"..... How did it come to be?"
I ask, as back then, 200 years ago, things like [Profile] and this stats doesn't exist. Hunting, killing, and exploring, were all done with our skill, our own sweet, and our own time, there were no such thing as STR nor INT, we have our body and nothing more, so how? How did such skills came to be?
"But thinking about it, it is been 200 years, so maybe something happens during those times? I am also a reincarnated and summoned, so maybe I am the only one to have this? Most Mc's are like that anyway"
But most of world they got transported into, already have those said things, they just merely got the most op ones. So the question is, what phenomenon causes the changes of this world? What might be reason for its changes?
"I lack information"
I stated as I looked up, and sigh. It is still quite early, so I have some time, though I can't go back to the island, as I merely be there and go back here in a seconds, so having such, I used my remaining time to increase my AGI and mastery of my skill.
As I already know that I could get 0.5 points every day, if I run a short distance, and 1 for long distance, I then tried running from the dock towards the back of my house, then back to the dock, and repeat it 5 times. There wasn't any statement that I need to do this "specific" number of times to get the appropriate amount I need, so I will try running in my place 5 times, and wait for tomorrow.
Foou~
Thmp Thmp Thmp
I then started running
...
After running around, I then grab my pick-axe, and
"[Pierce Strike]!"
Bang!
"[Pierce Strike]!"
Bang!
Swung it down, twice on the ground
"[Profile]"
[Skill/s:]
[Pierce Strike] (unlocked)<
<> A powerful piercing attack, made from desperation and fury.
<> Deals 6% damage. [Mastery: 0/ 100]
As I viewed my status to check if there's any changes to my skill, but nothing happened, as my mastery is still 0. So I then moved towards to the tunnel I made, as I think the reason might be, cause I was merely swinging it down, and nothing more. So if I use it for something, like a hard labor for example, it might work.
Reaching the deepest part, I then hold my pick-axe with a tight grip, with my hands at the top and bottom of the hilt, and
"[Pierce Strike]!"
Bang!
The impact was much more stronger than my normal swing, I was able to dig out a considerable amount of soil from the ground.
"[Profile]"
Checking back my status
[Skill/s:]
[Pierce Strike] (unlocked)<
<> A powerful piercing attack, made from desperation and fury.
<> Deals 6% damage. [Mastery: 0/ 100]
It was still the same, nothing changes. Pounding why, I sigh and just continue digging. If simply swinging it down, and doing it as a means of a training won't do, so I will try using it against some monster, like a {Nero Rabbit}, or {Boars}, there might some reaction to it, but for now
"[Pierce Strike]!"
Bang!
I will just use my time, effectively
"[Pierce Strike]!"
Bang!
