『Thewe is a way to get stwongew. He didn't, no, couwwdn't do to muwch』

How long ago did I get told that? Just cause I wouldn't take verse-pose shit.

『Every lv up we get points, this can push a stat pass the lv cap』

The shit head couldn't drag me down as much as he wanted

『Missions can awso give uws points』

When I first got here my repertoire of skills we're only five strong.

My skills we're not attack orientated and my mission was to find a certain 'something' the room of skills will test my skills.

Test my skills... I need to find something... So it's obvious my most important skill is ﹁discern﹂

________________________________________

﹁discern﹂

get information on perceived existences

________________________________________

This room like the last is large, huge. My spawn is at the center of the world, I named it Half Everest, Everest cause of its height reaching just below the clouds and half due to the perfectly horizontal cut leaving the surface I stand on to be unnaturally smooth and flat.

Downhill is a wide-open clearing of grass for some distance ending in a tree line of redwoods.

To the front is a constant storm cloud, Dark and Darker.

To the back is the ocean, Silver Valentine.

To the right is a wide mountain range, January Sunrise.

The left an illusion, the Truth.

There are animals here, I had to use my retreat skill to get away, it makes me faster when running to flee.

Not only that I got a new personal trait~

===========================

{Personal trait}

2 (3/5)

"Sneak"

An ability to hide

===========================

It wasn't much use after the first time, looks like everything goes like that, examples being climbing and sneaking.

I got the sneak trait after hiding from a creature I came across while searching for interesting items. I was able to get away but after the trait came up, well I was put back at a level where I would still be recognized.

This is how I got the climbing trait.

===========================

{Personal trait}

5 (4/5)

"climbing"

Ability to climb

.1 stamina per minute

===========================

Same thing but I fell off the tree after getting it.

I've made sure to get this skill higher, I probably not getting sneak high enough to sneak past hunters yet. I need some lower-level stuff before I can get on their level. Apparently, my sneaking from before got me levels in it. Which means, if I kept sneaking I would have had, by my estimate sneak 50

Climbing thought. That doesn't need anything but me and something that would put me at a higher altitude.

I was quite pleased to know that stepping on a stone gave me experience just cause I was taller for doing it.

I-i, i may need to check the ocean... Emotions well up in me before they root themselves in my thoughts I bring up my feeling jar and stuff this nonsense into it before closing it.

The weakest things are closest to the center. I live in the very center of the world... Funny that?

Standing up to and getting a good stretch I begin to start my day.

"Hnmmm~ahhh~... Good morning world~!" I scream out to the morning moon. In the twilight between moonlight and sunnight, there is nothing. Nothing but me.

Picking up my bow and equipping my quiver, both made with my crafting skill, I jump off the mountain appearing on the ground. I run to the treeline.

I was interested in what my speed and stamina actually came to in the world.

So did a little math to find what speed and stamina is.

If m is minutes and s is points in stats then

(stamina ✖️ 2= minutes of activities)

My stamina

(1.6s ✖️2= 3.2m)

(speed ✖️ 6= mph)

My speed

(.5s ✖️ 5= 2.5 mph)

Three over minutes, I can run for a bit over three minutes after the update and one and a half mph is my top speed. That's as fast as I can go but it's not my TOP speed I'm not sprinting, after all, just my best running speed. I suspect if I was allowed to go all out, like, Moe Lester is tailing me I need to burn

3 mph is my top.

...Walking speed... Lovely.

If I walked till my stamina goes out I would have to rest for ten minutes, but if I still have some it I get a decimal point back every second. It takes me ten minutes to get within the tree line, plus ten minutes every time my stamina runs out, which sucks compared to how long I can go.

Now two minutes, into January Sunrise's neck of the woods giant Redwoods shrink and thin to a much more manageable size. Trees that in the rest of the forest/woods are wide as a building and just as tall are so small here like large saplings thinner than my wrist with branches small as my pinky finger, pass these trees I come across a cozy little clearing sparkling with a purple glow that illuminates it under the tall canopy. This glow seems to grow out like tendrils from a totem in the middle.

﹁discern﹂

「room of skills Redwood Totem

[4/5] to gaining skill ?????????????」

I remember first finding this totem, ironically despite being the closest it wasn't the first I found, stumbling on it heading back from January Sunrise. It repels baddies.

I'm going to stay till the sun rises, by then I should finally gain whatever skill it has... The second totem skill.

___

Sunrise... Even without opening my eyes I can tell the previous glow from the clearing is replaced by the few less effective rays of light that don't reach the totem.

Twilight lasts for around 24 minutes, I spent half that time to get here.

I smirk and open my eyes bringing my reward back to my attention, I want to see it again with my eyes.

Just like January Sunrise's totem, it's not going to be useful now but when I hit level one~plus .5 where I want~ and it has an experience bar~

¿qué?

『◉_◉』

Wait that's energy, I just need to convert my energy to that.

『(╭☞ ̄▽ ̄)╭☞』

Just as I had the thought a book lands on my head

-.3 HP

"Fuck ow!"

Rubbing my head I glare at the book in my hands, one page thick with a black cover that read.

"Energy to caster bits... Ok so this is how it works."

Opening the book I get some words

# 1 caster bits= Energy ✖️2

Consume book to learn#

Sheesh. one of these bits is point two of my energy, we'll my first skill book though... How do I?

# eat the book #

...Sigh.

===========================

{Personal trait}

"Energy bank" (0/5)

All currently converted energy is stored here. You can only hold one converted energy in your body at a time, any stored here will be taxed and paid with energy

Tax rate= 1 energy ✖️(# of converted energy)

current tax*

1

DUE. end of day.

===========================

Holy shit I'm being finessed. So I'm not putting caster bits in there. Wait.

Narrowing my eyes at what I can only guess are some illegally small words it says 'note tax is equal to level... Fuck me!

Well for the now I won't need the bank but, can I go into debt?

Hn that? Anyway upping reinforcement, converting takes ten seconds for every one energy.

After emptying my energy, I go to cast reinforcement only to get a requirement deficiency... I only got two caster bit for my point four energy... Thankfully unlike my stamina I don't get a penalty in recovery for using all of my energy soup up to point five now.

Doing the same I still only get up to to caster bits for it. But my reserves went up and I now meet the minimum requirement to use my spell... All of that just for a decimal in my stats...

Now no more nonsense. One for the money. Two for the show. Three to let's go!

『Waaaait!』

Breaks screech in my ear.

"WHAAT?!"

『(ಥ﹏ಥ) Youw need an image to do stuwff in uw magicaw』

"...huah. Kiss kiss. I got one."

『Make suwwe uw image has an end. If it doesn't it wiww faiw』

An end. I need a climax in the image then.

Breath in, silence everything, I listen for my image. Around me. Far from me. A mile from me, a galaxy from me.

I clenched my teeth and keep searching, I'll find it, it's here, somewhere.

More and more, I keep going further from me. Multiple times I have to stop or I would lose myself, until I found it. At the end of the universe. My image.

The bullet goes in the chamber

My caster bits come to life.

I cock the gun

My body trills with power.

I aim and

Caster bits once moving without reason now seemingly gain a purpose getting in alone ready to...

Fire
