’Ah to think that I can get out from that castle very quick. This is probably from my title [Just a Pebbles Stone]. Yeah, it is work quite well but it still hurt me.’
Kagerou was currently strolling outside the castle. He was after all know that this will happen not long ago had ready to get his freedom any moment.
A moment ago, inside the castle…
He after said that added another thing.
“And it seems like my status is around 10-15. From these stats seems like an average person would have, right?”
“Yes it does.”
Of course he lie half of it, after all his wisdom and reflex was way higher than an average person would have. He was taking this chance to reduce the king’s favor towards him so he could get out as soon as possible.
Because of that, the king poured a cold gaze towards him.
’Kukuku… He probably thinks now how to get rid me from this castle but I’ll be much quicker than that, you know!’
“So, it seems that I can fight well like heroes so…Can His Majesty excused me from this invitation. After all, I don’t want to die at young age. I still have a lot of thing to do. And from point of view, it seems like I can’t go back to my world ’soon’ so I’ll do just what I want at this world.”
Kagerou’s word surprised all people in the room and the most surprised was of course… the king. After all they didn’t think that I’ll put this scene for real. Maybe one or two of them was trying to think how to get rid me from this castle without the heroes knowing themselves. Kagerou was laughing at them right inside his mind because he put the scene into his favor.
’Right now, I just don’t want them to interrupt my fun in this world.’
“Wait a minute, Kagerou-san! Why don’t you fight with us? We’ll protect you for sure!”
“Yeah! With this hero power, I can protect you at by my side.”
“Kagerou-kun, No matter how I think, you’ll be safe with us.”
“Right the world out there was dangerous enough, not like our world where its safe for certain.”
’Touka really was a fooled because he said he think that I could fight alongside him. Nana, who always at his side probably said like that to appeal her side more to him. And why the hell I feel like the Kanzaki’s sister was blushing while saying that they’ll support me well?’
But Kagerou for the sake of not wanting to be controlled by country had put his act first so he’ll do so.
“I was clearly doesn’t have power, and yet you said I should fight alongside all of you? You think that your power was enough to cover me while focusing in battle?”
All four of them were silent meanwhile the king was stared at Kagerou waiting for his next word. All people stared him hardly make him feel like losing his confidence so he took a deep breath while preparing for his next word.
“So, that’s why I will go out from this castle and live as commoner. With this I’m done here right, Your Majesty?”
’I put quite sarcasm there. He’ll notice it right? Oh, he was able to notice it. I feel quite fresh to be able to see his red angered face.’
The king then ordered the guards to guide him to the outside of the castle (throw him away from castle). He understood perfectly that his plan was succeed.
Back to earlier…..
Because of the scene he made inside the castle happened, Kagerou was now happily strolling around the shops. He was perfectly aware of surrounding people as they were gazing at him, no, precisely at his never-seen-before clothes. Perfectly aware of this fact, he went to clothing shop in order to get a new image. By the way he was using the money that the king gaves him before hee was kicked out from the castle.

With a black longcoat covered him, he continued his search for a cheap inn. He immediately register for 3 days for the cost of 1 gold worth. [i0 Copper=1 Silver, 10 Silver=1 Gold, 100 Gold=1 White Gold, 10 White Gold=1 Platinum Gold]
Inside his room, he was blankly stare at the ceiling while his thought was revving at full speed.
’Let’s arrange what I understand at the moment about my status.’
’status’

Aptitude Skill Type: [Void] [Martial Art] [Body Strengthening] [Mind]

Skill: [Insight] [Battle Awareness] [Combat Mode] [Analyze] [Multi Thought]
’Hmm. Now I noticed it, Does this world was not perfectly replicate game-like system? Or is it just that this world game system was not like the game system we know?’
Kagerou notice that this world game system doesn’t have Character Level and because of that he assume that the growth was not by getting experience itself.
’More likely, the growth must be done by a certain action. But if we do that, doesn’t that means that everyone was already OP?’
’What do I miss? How do I growth to become strong? Right no I can only think that the answer was collect more skill…’
Kagerou thought a moment….
’Can skill combine? Lets try some.’
Without any time to waste, he active [Analyze] and [Insight] simultaneously but nothing happen. He thought again and again until he arrive to conclusion; that some skill will be create when a certain percentage of the used skill and certain action- based restriction was done. It was proved when he acquired:
[Prediction (Analyze=46%, Insight=54%)]
[Battle Insight (Battle Awareness=23%, Insight=77%)]
’Hmm. This is also not the last answer. Depend on the person, the answer would probably arrived at different answer with a logical reason.’
’What else? The condition for character growth…. if we based it on the game system, then shouldn’t it be by upgrading the skill and if I guessing it correctly, the exp the usual game system has would be change into stats point, right?’
Kagerou was in battle with himself today for a long night. By the way, when he arrived to his final conclusion, it was already midnight.

’With this, next I should just proved that my theory was correct. But to fight, I need weapon. Then, I should have money to buy full battle equipment. Based on that, I should join Adventurer Guild, huh?’
Kagerou who excited to join the Adventurer Guild and then proved his theory, slept nicely.
