You that are currently reading this, reckon this truth. You (metaphorically) died yesterday. At least the person you were yesterday. Today you are a brand new you, with your whole life ahead of you to screw up in whichever way you deem so. The you from yesterday has no choice on the matter because they're (metaphorically) dead.
And so are their ideas and dreams. They (metaphorically) died alongside with the previous you somewhere between yesterday and today. Call it the twilight zone, かたわれ時 (kataware-doki), the garou gauntlet, whatever.
News flash, the "you" from today is scheduled to (metaphorically) die soon. Make use of your scarce remaining time. Maybe burn it all in a blaze of glory or build a foundation that the new "you" can work on. I bet they'll be thankful.
Or just laze around and leave a debt for the future you to pay. Your call.
----------------------------------------
The author is dead. Long live the fiction. The MDW that wrote ILH last year died. Like a crappy hobo phoenix, I rose from his remains (but by any means couldn't soar). The day ends in a few hours and I'll (metaphorically) die. So I want to post a chapter before I (metaphorically) go.
But this is LitRPG, and as I posted in an essay somewhere (google for it or not, your call), "LitRPG is not a crutch". Some authors add a dash of some system-like mechanics to their fictions just to add a tag and (hopefully) draw in some readers because it is "a trend". Well, I have one word for these authors I won't say (type) here.
I needed to revisit the System and the mechanics, especially MC's ridiculously stupidly large Status Sheet. While I can recall most of it by heart, I can't commit the sin of writing the fiction without being sure of it.
That means re-compiling the whole thing and updating it. Thankfully the "Troll" taught me the value of a tight bookkeeping, and I had it in an easy to reach place.
Why not publish it, I asked myself?
So here you go. Just two things:
One, the System updates the description of the Perks from time to time.
And two, any discrepancy from what's shown here and what was published in previous chapters should be disregarded, using this one as the basis.
The guy who did a piss-poor job of stitching those numbers together is (metaphorically) dead anyway.
Without further ado, here is the humongous Status sheet if anyone wants to browse. Whenever it conficts with previous published material, consider this the correct version.
----------------------------------------

Titles

(Because of some System quirk, MC has both gendered titles in some entries. Only one of them can be on display at the same time but titles in different bullet points can be combined (displaying {Hero King} or {Heroine Princess} is fine. You can even go with {Heroine King}. The System ignores gender conventions.
----------------------------------------
Skills:
Skills have ranks (the numerical value) and categories (the title). The normal rank cap is 100. Categories are Novice (up to 9), Apprentice (24), Journeyman (49), Master (79), Grandmaster (99), and ???? (tu be disclosed) at 100. Upon raising a Skill to 50, a special perk is added to the Skill, enhancing its effects (the text of the Perks is added to the Skill description). The same happens at proficiencies of 80 and 100.
