Chapter 3: i thought an IT peon was going to debut as a forest boy, but an even bigger thing happened
For the time being let’s try to calm down.
My current location is not j.a.pan.My food can last me for 3 days maximum while the water is good for 4 days.In a forest this big, there should be relatively large wild animals living here.I have nothing that can’t be cla.s.sified as either weapons or armor (with the exception of the large-sized cutter)I can’t seeing anything nearby that resembles a residence“Uhhh, im checkmated”
While I was on all four, I get pessimistic about the situation.
“Oioi, an IT peon having to debut as a forest boy, that’s impossible, if it was my grandfather though he’d survive through this”
Right now, being pessimistic will get me nothing so ill decide on a plan.
“For starters, securing water, and water too. If the vegetation is similar to what’s in j.a.pan, then edible ones should be nearby”
I raise my awareness bit by bit, and think of ways to survive.
“making my source of fresh water a river is scary so ill look for spring water, for food ill trap small animals and birds, afterwards come the fish”
I remember how to make small-sized traps and how to dress the prey from my grandfathers training.
“All that’s left is to find a place to sleep and im done, it’s now 10:30 huh, for now I’ll secure a water source, in the worst case I ‘ll boil river water”
While thinking up to that point I hear an incredibly quiet sound, judging by how low the source of the sound is, I thought it must be a small animal, while holding the split cane i gently open the bush the sound is coming from.
“Is it just a common harmless snake?”
The snake that’s struggling below the split cain is about 15cm long, but I cant be sure that it’s a common harmless snake because its color is reddish-brown
“Huh? the pupil isnt round, but the shape of the head is right”
While he was surprised by the fact that the familiar looking snake is actually not familiar, he opens its mouth greatly and from around the fangs liquid begins spouting out.
“Oh, your poisonous, Eh? the common harmless snake doesn’t have poison”
Since I don’t wont to be hit by a meaningless counterattack, i take awls from the tool set and pierce its brain. while convulsing with a twitch it slowly started losing strength on the cane it was wrapped around and its body sagged, at the moment i believed it to be dead, i heard certain recognizable electronic voice echoing in my head.
‘Notice from the Skill {Acquisition}, the condition of the Skill {Acquisition} has been fulfilled, The Skill {Stealth} 0.03 that was held by the target, the corresponding Skill has been transferred’
“Eh?”
My head turned white from completely unexpected situation.
“What is this?{Acquisition}? Transfer of Skill?”
I keep spitting questions out without pulling myself together.
‘Notice from the Skill {knowledgable}, Nice to meet you Unset, I am {Knowledgable}, I spoke to you because you wanted a conversation’
Again, I hear an electronic voice, but this one, I felt like I could have a conversation with.
“Knowledgable-san is it? as in the Skill granted by Interface-san?”
Since I know nothing about its ident.i.ty, I ended up using a respectful manner of speech.
‘That definition is correct, please identify the Skill {Knowledgable} as a knowledgable person, Skill {Knowledgable} has been granted to the Unset by Interface’
I see , a knowledgable person, but what is this Unset.
“What is this Unset?”
‘The Skill {Knowledgable} is incapable of identifying those who are not set, therefore it is refered to as Unset temporarily’
Aah, Because they don’t know my name they call me Unset.
“My name is Maekawa Akihiro, please call me Akihiro”
‘Resolving, The Unset shall be given a designation, registering as Akihiro, From now on I am in you care’
Communication can be done, This is a big difference from Interface-san, Well then let’s go back to asking the first question.
“{Acquisition} informed me that a skill was transferred, what was that?”
‘Resolving, Akihiro has been granted 3 Skills by Interface, one of which would be {Acquisition}’
‘Akihiro desired to acquire all experience and knowledge, Therefore the corresponding skill was granted’
‘The power of that corresponding skill is to devour the experience you yourself have gained through an event and turn it into a skill that will reside in your body’
While I didn’t make such a grand wish, an extraordinary ability now lies within me, but what is a skill in the first place.
“What is a skill? and what is that {Stealth} skill that I gained earlier?”
‘Resolving, There are two types of skills, the first kind is the ability bound to ones soul, that is the type of the 3 skills granted by Interface’
‘The second type is the ability gained from bound to the body through techniques, these abilities can be strengthened with appropriate training’
‘{Stealth} is a skill to hide oneself, it interferes with others visual recognition’
It seems that I was granted a greater skill than I thought, i want something to support my head with.
For the time being I have to survive, and while im thankful, im getting this feeling that things will become quite the pain after i return to j.a.pan.
“{Knowledgable}-san how do I use {Stealth}?”
‘Resolving, Normally speaking skills do not show their true effect until they reach 1 and higher, therefore because Akihiro currently has 0.03 only a slight effect will be shown’
Oooo, that’s going to take a while, for the time being I might as well ignore it, certainly that fake common harmless snake didn’t feel like it was invisible or anything.
Well now that I finished with the important question, lets mainly do our best to survive……lets do our best…….
