Episode 10-Investing In Oneself

....….urgh….My entire body is sore…”.

With my alarm blaring, waking me up from my sleep, as soon as I did, I felt sore all over. Which makes sense, after all, yesterday I have done a lot of things, combat and stuff were all high-intensity actions, and the tension and adrenaline ran through my entire body yesterday, making me feel just fine. But once that tension was gone, this is what happened, your entire body just went jelly. Nevertheless, it was enjoyable and also fulfilling, adventuring into the unknown, and preparing for my new life earnestly, I felt like I had a new drive in life.

As always, waking up, I made up my bed and went to the floor, doing my usual morning exercise, this kind of stuff has become my life habit since I was a teenager. Besides doing so keeps me healthy, so I just do it without any thought, spending just a few minutes at the start of the day, it’s something that can be done even when one is half asleep. After a shower, as always, I went and prepared my breakfast, with the morning news on in the background. Nothing much happened today in the news, and the talk show just kept inviting the social influencers that went viral over the recent time, but none of it really attracted my attention.

…hmm….9 status points and 8 skill points…I need to spend it all today….what’s the use in keeping them…it’s not like I can increase my status point by doing something else…”.

I already confirmed that I cannot improve my status attributes by doing physical exercise or something like that. If I can then it should be up already at this point, since I do exercise daily, so to increase my status attributes I have to invest points in it. Hence the point is even more precious now, I already know what to invest in, also, seeing my status point rather seems a bit unorganized, I want to just make everything look a bit presentable, just so, I can calm my mind a little bit.

So right now, I wanted to buy a few skills that I will be using, there were a few skills that I wanted to have and personally, it is a must-have, especially for a single party adventure like me. Healing magic is important, especially since I am alone and doing dangerous things, preserving my own life is only natural for me to do so. So I will be buying my first Healing spell, called [Heal], and while I’m at it, might as well buy [Cure], just so that I can handle any status ailment that I might encounter, I might get poisoned in the future, so it is better to have a solution for that, the cost for these skill at level 1 is 1 point each, so that is 2 point deducted.

My next purchase is on the Special Skill tab, and it was the favorite [Identify], this one is a little bit pricey, it cost 3 skill points just to buy it at its first level. But to me, it is a worthy investment, as not only it was a staple skill to have but also it would help me a lot in gaining information, both in the dungeon and also in the next world. Although to Players in the game [Identify] is a purchasable skill, in the world of Lothenheim, [Identify] is a skill that only a few possess, and thus those that hold them are usually those that were in the high social status, those that are working for the kings and alike. As I bought [Identify] , it looks like mine is an upgraded version, no wonder it cost 3 points instead of one.

“This is good…just having this, blocks others from viewing my status….I need to upgrade this skill to the max….thankfully it only maxed at level 5…I can achieve that level..in a year….Hmm…looks like I got another goal to add to the list…”.

-----------------------------------------------

~Identify~

Lvl: 1

Tier:1

Type: Special Skill (Player Unique)

Cost: 1 MP

Description: Upon cast enable the user to view the target basic information. Usable on everything at tier 1, it is possible to be detected and blocked. This is Player unique skill, thus more information is displayed compared to other similar skills, having this skill also prevents other similar skills from being cast on the owner of this skill.

-----------------------------------------------

For my remaining 3 skill points, I decided to level up [Inventory] to level 3, which added 2 additional pages to my current inventory, making it now have 300x300 boxes, with 100x100 boxes for each page. The leveling cost for skills and magic is simple, for each 2 level one point was added, so levels 1 and 2 will cost only 1 point each, but then for levels 3 and 4, it will be 2 points, and levels 5 and 6 will be 3 points, and so on. Simple to use and understand, for [Inventory] it will be maxed up at level 10, so with this, I know that there is a limit to my [Inventory], and thus this makes conquering and owning the safe floor in the dungeon more important.

“Hmmm…that’s looked better now…”.

--------------------------------------------

After done with my points shopping, only now my heart and mind is at calm, by the way, I noticed something amazing, with the changes in my Status attributes, my entire self is also evolving, everything looks very clear to me now, I felt a bit smarter now and my body, has slightly being transformed, I know this because as soon as my Strength reached 20, my entire body felt tingling sensations for a few minutes, causing me to stop munching away my breakfast egg.

“.…wow….I can get use to this….HMPH!!…damn…I love my biceps even more now…..I even got a slight abs now…hehehehe…”.

Standing in front of a mirror, I indulged in a little bit of muscle flexing, which I am sure everyone would do it too if they had the same kind of changes as I am experiencing right now. I got a bit taller as well, from 181 cm, now I stand at 184 cm, and my slightly fat tummy now has an outline of a six-pack on it. Even my teeth, which have holes and chips, somehow now became healthy like all the damage on my teeth was just never there. So anyone can understand as o why I am laughing and grinning, ear to ear like a villain right now.

…oh, a call….it’s Bobbie…..Hello…bob…what’s up?…”.

In the middle of me having a good time flexing my muscles, Bobbie called.

“[ Morning, Miz….hey, I’m gonna need more hard drive….already used up everything I have on me…and also you money…turns out, combined with me…all my buddies already check Anime collections off your list…so, better hurry up…don’t wanna get stuck while we all are getting motivated….like we are right now…]”.(Bobbie)

Not gonna lie, them checking off the ‘Anime’ of my list is amazing and also not surprising, I know a few of Bobbie's buddies, and all of them were cut from the same cloth, all passionate about the same thing and their group just completed each other. If one of them didn’t keep up with the new update, trend, or news, they all made sure that the ones that were left behind were in the loop. That is just how tight they are, so no wonder they only take roughly 12 hours or so to do it.

“..Alright….I buy a more hard drive then….see you later, bob…”.

“[Sure…just don’t be to late….since this Is work…we want to be on schedule…oh…by the way…]”.(Bobbie)

“What is it, Bob?…”.

“[buy me a burger set and pizza when you come by…HOLD UP!….buy me that, and I’m will even put the porn and hentai VR videos for you…free of charge…those aren’t on the list…so…..bro, please~…]”.(Bobbie)

“.….you drive a hard bargain, bob…Sure!…and make sure it’s HD….”.

I forgot to put that on the list since he offered to do it for basically free, well, why not, right?
