He had become much stronger and more agile.

Karl invested all his earned points in physical traits because the effects of INT and WIS weren't clear yet and as they were already high enough, he didn't think it was necessary as of yet.

But then the stats were still a mystery because he didn't know how SP was now bigger than HP, while MP was still only 1.

Shouldn't MP be proportional to the INT and WIS like in rpg games?

Anyway, he'll see about this later when he'll have more clues.

'Let's go step by step.'

"Elise, do you know what "credit" is?" said Karl.

"Credit? Ah, you can buy things with it in the village or at the altar."

'So I wasn't the only one to have rpg game system, huh?'

"The Altar? Where is it?"

"It's in the chapel next to the orphanage. If you pray for Mercuria very strongly, something will open to you!"

The chapel was near so Karl decided to go check the altar first. In front of the altar, he prayed.

'How does this work? [O Mercuria, please show me the shop!]?'

Pop!

A window popped up. It looked a bit like the stats window he had.

On the window, he could search for the goods he wanted.

Practically everything he had the knowledge of the existence could be found and be bought there. It even had modern items that existed only on Earth. From candies to the machine and guns. Everything was there!

But then this "shop" had one big and critical flaw: everything was unbelievably expensive. A complete rip-off.

And modern items were more expensive than the items we could find in this world. The cheapest rifle was sold at a few million credits.

So yeah, OP hunting was not for him yet (or maybe never).

"Elise, is it normal that everything is that expensive?"

"It is. But it's much cheaper to buy things in the villlage so people usually don't buy in the holy shop."

"Hmm...and how can I earn credits?"

"From what I know, you can earn by hunting other life forms like animals and monsters or you can give offerings to Mercuria and earn credits."

"Offerings?"

"Yeah. You can give anything as offering! But not everything has great value. Sometimes hunters around this region come to the chapel with the mana gems they got from the monsters and earn credits. They often give donations to the orphanage!"

Elise, despite being only 7 years old, knew a lot of things compared to the kids of her age. And she was a very kind child. In fact, the 9 other kids in the orphanage were all kind but Elise was much nicer and especially, more energetic.

"Thanks Elise."

"You welcome~ If you wish to know anything else, just ask me! I'm sure the one who knows the most of things here in the orphanage, after sister Emmanuella."

Karl was in a good mood today as he got some good informations.

Before going to think about what he could do with these informations and plan his future actions, he decided to grind ants to check one last thing.

Splaf!
