Karaboshi Haruki (27) Gender : Man
Skill Point : 3
Cla.s.s : Swordsman
+ Vitality
+ Strength
+ Agility
+ Technique
+ Intuition
+ Special
"Well"
Is 3 the initial point?
Then, will it gradually increase?
I don"t understand yet how to increase it . I should check this properly .
Next is the cla.s.s . . . . . . Does this indicate my present overall strength?
"Is there no explanation? . . . . . . oh!"
Touching the Cla.s.s, a small window emerges in front of it .
"Swordsman: A beginner who has learned how to handle weapons and attacks"
I see, Haruki nodded .
Reading the explanation, it seems Haruki"s prediction is correct .
Haruki"s current Cla.s.s is a Swordsman .
Is it just a person who uses a sword .
As long as I become strong, the Cla.s.s will change .
It is very appreciated that there is an item that understands his standard of strength .
Although he can never say it easy to understand . . . . . .
Haruki touches "+" to open the tree .
－Vitality
Stamina 0 (increase endurance) MAX 30
Natural Recovery 0 (increase natural recovery speed of injury and stamina) MAX 30
I see, Haruki nodded .
The initial value is zero .
If I add a point here, how effective is it?
Even if I touch the skill, there is only one line of explanation .
The rate of increase isn"t written .
－Strength
Strength 0 (increase muscle strength) MAX 30
- Agility
Instantaneous Power 0 (increase instantaneous power) MAX 30
Dexterity 0 (increase dexterity) MAX 30
－Technique
Armor Proficiency
One-Handed Sword 0 (increase weapon proficiency of sword which can be handled with one hand) MAX 10
Throwing 0 (increase throwing proficiency) MAX 10
Light Armor 0 (increase armor proficiency of light armor) MAX 10
Stealth 0 (increase concealment ability) MAX 10
－Intuition
Detection 0 (increase ability to detect life forms and traps) MAX 10
"Stealth . . . . . . "
It is probably a type of skill that blocks presence .
One hit kill a monster by closing without being noticed .
It is an extremely cool battle skill to perform .
But, let"s stop this .
If I add it easily, I will not be noticed by anyone for the rest of my life .
Even if I die in public presence, no one will notic me due to the stealth .
Such and ending is undesirable .
The maximum value of the point can be added is subtly different .
As for this difference . . . . . . is it basic physical ability?
No, the technique is MAX 10 .
Will another skill derive if I signify 10 points?
Is it become a total 30 points, or technique is a different standard .
There is no way to check it now; perhaps it is good to see if there is the derivation of other skills .
I think that explanation template is slightly different .
One-handed sword and light armor are written as a similar type, but throwing is written only as "throwing proficiency" .
Perhaps this is the difference in restriction .
One-handed sword and light armor are bound each other .
But throwing is not bounded .
Surely if I acquire this skill, be it a hammer or a pebble, certainly, it"s possible to throw everything skillfully .
"But . . . . . . "
Looking at the released tree, I notice it .
No matter how I think about it, to have only one-handed sword and light armor in armor skill .
If it is a normal skill tree, you can have the large sword and bow skill, it is not even strange if there is shield skill .
"Perhaps, does it change according to individual appropriateness?"
Some people have a large sword skill, and special skills that shouldn"t be here also come out .
It is conceivable enough .
Let"s try it next time, whether or not I"m able to see other people"s skill tree .
Haruki remembered it .
It is finally over .
What does "special mean?
It can"t resemble a habit or a hobby that can"t be said . . . . . .
Rather it is troubled even if suitable "special" skill tree come out .
I don"t want such a magic tool (heart break) .
He taps on the Special column .
And Haruki, he is swallowed hard .
"Growth Acceleration . . . !"
－Special
Growth Acceleration 0 (gain more power when defeating more monsters than usual) MAX 5
*********
A game"s growth correction is at most only 1% .
Regarding m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t game (refers to the game that need enormous effort), some of it only 0,1% .
Haruki, who had too much expectation by adding 3 point to growth acceleration at once, had his sense of regret surge as he goes down the stairs .
He is regretting after allocating the skill .
Haruki who saw the explanation of "Growth Acceleration", hit skill up b.u.t.ton repeatedly lake a man in a trance .
Skill Point : 3 → 0
－Special
Growth Acceleration 0 → 3
But as he calm down, he began tot think this might have been a mistake . . . . . .
If the growth rate increases by 1% per point, with Haruki"s Lv . 3 skill, he will gain 3 more value after defeating 100 monsters .
If he can increase it, his hunting efficiency will be very advantageous as added skill points increase .
I wonder if I failed after all .
While lowering his eyebrows (refers to relaxing himself), Haruki continue to decent carefully with his combat knife .
When Haruki reach the first bas.e.m.e.nt floor, his hearth beat is hastening .
The dungeon "Chikho" of Sapporo has become something that can"t be called a dungeon anymore .
Lesson from dungeon"s motivated staff members, they have used various means to reduce the death rate of adventurers, and 1st and 2nd Floor are almost made for safety area only .
It is more like an attraction than a dungeon .
There are reasons for dungeon staff members to put an effort into it .
Adventurers are the country"s defense strength .
In case stampede occurring, they will become fighting forces to exterminate monsters .
There is an economic reason as well .
Adventurers collect materials from dungeon which couldn"t be obtained on Earth until now .
Adventurers will use the money they earn in those transaction to turn the economy positively .
Globalism is ended as the dungeon spread all over the world . Capitalism established by the continuous growth of the economy has been destroyed .
Currently, the economy of j.a.pan is stagnant; it depends greatly on adventurers who move a large sum of money .
So, it is a trouble if they die easily .
"Chikho" is a very safe dungeon, but there is no adventure .
But it isn"t happen here yet, it will not be .
It doesn"t appear in WIKI .
It is an unknown dungeon that no one knows .
Now, I perform the first adventure .
Having said that, Haruki who became an adventurer after resigning from printing company feels his adventurous soul throbbing .
Finally, I take the first step to be an adventurer!
"Good! (Yoshi!)"
With spirit full voice, Haruki advanced steadily to the deeper area .
The dungeon"s pa.s.sage is wide enough for five people can walk well in a row .
The ceiling is about three meters . How can it located in the bas.e.m.e.nt . . . . . .
Will it not collapse?
Slight anxiety enters Haruki"s mind, but it will be fine .
There was a case that a specific country had driven a nuclear missile in order to suppress the dungeon .
However, the dungeon suffered only damage to the extent that the entrance spreads a little . (After that, the country was partially destroyed by the stampede)
It will not crumble at the earthquake level damage .
The inside resembles clay, my knife is buried about three centimeters only when it was stabbed . It seems that the back is being consolidated with another material .
The interior is dim, but it is not completely dark .
The inner surface is lit softly .
Capturing dungeon even without lanterns is wonderful, it feels like being welcomed by the predator and it is horrifying .
When he walks for a while, a "kasakasa (rustling)" like sound arrived in the ears of Haruki .
Kasakasa . . . . . . I imagine it is G (TL: G = gokiburi = c.o.c.kroach) .
It seems there are also G monsters in Honshu dungeon, but has not been found in Hokkaido .
There is no mistake if you think that it is not G .
So what is the ident.i.ty of this sound?
When you are listening carefully, the sound grows little by little .
Before Haruki"s knife stance, it finally appears .
"That?"
Haruki let out admiration to monster different from his imagination .
The length is about half of Haruki . It is not even a meter .
It has many legs .
While proceeding forward to see if it is an antenna or foot, it moves with rustling .
"It is House centipede!"
There are no dangerous insects with plentiful legs, and has no unique fangs of the centipede (TL= I think this is referred to the poisonous one) .
So, it is surely a house centipede .
It is thicker than normal centipede and barely poisonous .
If it is in common size, it is called as beneficial insect which exterminates pest .
"I thought it was clearly a house centipede . Well, well . "
Because his expectation was wrong, Haruki loosens the grin at the corner of his mouth .
The more you lose your expectation is more . . . . . . interesting .
Adventure probably is such things, isn"t it?
But, this size .
An ordinary person may faint due to physiological repulsion .
However, Haruki still faces house centipede with a smile as usual .
"Aah, it is the best . . . . . . "
The house centipede that I know, and dungeon"s house centipede .
How is it different?
Fight and I will understand .
I can barely wait for that future .
The information of house centipede appears in WIKI of "Let"s Be" .
"House Centipede"
It is relatively gentle and slow .
There is no killing power . Even if it is wrapping around, it only eats armor and clothing, and will not try to eat human flesh . It is a beneficial insect which exterminates pest .
The fighting methods are simple, it can be killed by smashing its head .
Since the antennas play the role of visual organs, if they are cut off, there is no worry it will attack .
It is easy to defeat it as long as you remember the secret . it is a bonus monster for beginners .
However, even like that, it causes physiological repulsion beyond description .
It is a monster with high mental attack power .
When it"s eating, narrow feelings that thin legs rustling is NG (TL: NG = Not Good) .
I want to ask why G.o.d didn"t destroy this monster .
As soon as I find it, I will crush it .
Since the experience is abundance, I recommend to search and destroy it .
House centipede should be exterminated from j.a.pan .
Probably he is strung by it . In the editor"s letter, there is a trace of hatred can be sensed .
"If I had to say, it looks cute . . . . . . "
Its feet move slowly .
Its feet move slowly .
But I don"t think I want to be clanged .
The armor, that I purchase with the small amount of money that I had, will become useless .
"Well, let"s go"
I cut its antennas, and return to stab its head .
While remembering the method of WIKI in his head, Haruki starts to run .
Ten meters . Five meters .
The other party has not noticed yet .
When I raised the knife, finally house centipede realized Haruki"s existence .
But it is already late .
I get it . . . . . . !
I was convinced, but as the blade cut through the air .
But different from Haruki"s a.s.sumption, house centipede"s movement was quick .
Where is the slow-witted!
He takes a back step while cursing .
House centipede which nearly stabbed is barely evading .
"Huh?"
Haruki lets out a light breath .
Haruki though his rushing success, and he ready to evade it .
But, it didn"t hit .
In other words, it is quicker than expected, but not quick enough to surpa.s.s my speed .
If I deal it calmly without hurry, I may defeat it without a problem .
As soon as I understand, the inside of my head become calm .
"That"s truly . "
Emotion rises from within my body .
It is fun, safe hunting is insufficient .
It"s just unilateral violence .
There is no adventure .
There is no challenge .
But now, it is not a level at which it can be said selfishly .
For the weak to ask for too much . It is unsightly .
Stay focused .
I must focus!
Haruki controls his own mind .
House centipede with its antenna pointed at here is barely attracted .
Hit!
He takes a side step just before it hit .
Its antennas graze his lather breastplate .
There, he calms down and cut it .
The antennas cut with his knife are floating in the air .
And simultaneously he kicks the ground and moves to its side .
Haruki who kick the ground with all his power is stabbing his knife to the house centipede .
