.

I've been looking at this for quite some time.

Every time I wanted to look at my status this would appear inside my mind.

Hmm, so this is how it works.

This is a bit different from the function "status" on my bracelet.

In this status, it seems like I have "health" information.

What is "health"?

{ Answer: Health indicates your inured ability to function while damaged or injured. Health is usually measured in hit points or health points, which lowers by set amounts when the entity is attacked or injured. When the number of your Health in your status reaches zero, you are considered either dead or incapacitated and barred from taking further action. }

health: 3/10 -> 3/20

I see.

That means, health is basically my life.

Before I was attacked I had 10 points of my health, now it got multiplied.

Was it because I killed that monster?

Even my other status has changed as well.

Especially my defense got up to 30.

Just exactly my " status" on my bracelet it shows my actual condition.

"Injured"

Well, I did get attacked by that person and fell off a cliff. I'm still surprised, I managed to survive that fall.

If it wasn't for the fur of this bear monster I would have definitely died.

Even in my status health shows, I only have 3 points out of 20.

Now also I have 2 new skills.

"Materialized dagger!"

After I thought that, a dagger appeared on my right hand.

The dagger is green and transparent.

Just like that day.

The same dagger which one of my classmates died with, is on my hands.

I still don't know who that person is and why his dagger got into my hand...

Now the next skill I have is "Air slash".

I thought about this skill to appear but nothing happened.

Maybe if I use my voice it'll work?

[ Air slash! ] ( Hatsuko )

...

Nothing.

The only thing that happened was my voice that echoed.

I still don't understand this skill.

I'll look at it later.

And this thing which I let it for the last to check.

Soul collected.

At first, I tried to ignore it, but now it kind of bothers me.

What is that?

{ Answer: Soul collected 1/10.000

I am alive without breath and cold as death. I am never thirsty but always drinking.

Sometimes I appear to lie at you.

All-day I will follow no matter how fast you run, yet I nearly perish in the midday sun.

When you have me more, you can see only less.

What Am I? }

[ ... ] ( Hatsuko )

What the hell does that mean?

Is this some kind of riddle?

That doesn't make any sense!

[ SCREEECH ]

huh?

Those might be monsters.

The moment I heard those noises, 2 massive ants walked in front of me.

They were exactly the same as normal ants but this time they were 40 cm tall and 60 cm long.

One of those started eating the monster which I had killed earlier and the other one...

[ Huh so it noticed me! ] ( Hatsuko )

That monster had found my presence.

The moment it started running towards me, I immediately got out my dagger.

I didn't consider a real battle me killing the bear monster, so this time it's going to be my first(second) real battle.

This is no video game but real life.

I can't do anything too reckless which would lead to my death.

Yes, killing other living things is important if I want to survive!

The massive thing jumped towards me.

I swung my dagger and the next moment the ant was sliced in two.

Huh?

But I didn't make any direct contact with my dagger and the ant?

{ Answer: Skilled used "Air slash" }

I see!

To use "Air slash" I needed to use some kind of weapon.

Now, the next ant was still eating the bear monster.

Is that ant that starved to the point of ignoring me?

Well, it doesn't matter.

Since it's going to be killed by me!!

I slowly approached the ant.

The moment the ant noticed me I swung my dagger.

The results were the same as before.

The ant was sliced in two.

When I was in the group of my classmates I couldn't fight that monster at all.

My classmates didn't have any problem with it though.

It was like killing normal small ants.

But now I could kill them as well.

{ Skill unlocked: "The eyes of see-through" }

Oh!

Seems like I got another skill from killing these ants.

My status appeared on my head after thinking about it.

This is really convenient.

My status has increased as well after killing those two ants.

And now it seems like I have a new skill!

"The eyes of see-through"

Is this skill related to my eyes?

From its name "see-through" it means I can see through objects and stuff?

I started looking around and noticed some kind of information appearing on my head the moment I looked at the ant which I had killed.

.

By killing ants I have come to a conclusion.

After killing these monsters I can get some of their status and skills.

I couldn't get most of the bear monsters' status, because they were used as points to unlock my skills. Maybe?

That's what I think.

But how?

Maybe it has something to do with "Soul collected"

Now that I killed these 3 monsters I have 3/10.000

As the name says, does that mean I can collect their status and skills through their souls?

That's the only conclusion I thought.

But I don't really know what happens after I reach 10.000 souls.

Will I get something amazing?

Will I get cursed or die?

But I don't want to let this bother me!

I will continue killing even if it meant destroying someone's life!

.

After walking for a while, I still couldn't find the exit.

This place looked like a giant maze.

I can't even tell if it's day or night.

My clothes are filled with monster blood.

I'm sure its smell could attract another monster, but until now no monster was shown.

I wouldn't consider this as lucky.

My shirt had gotten ripped a bit so I had to skin the black fur of the bear monster to cover me a bit.

Sometimes, it would get too cold and sometimes it becomes too hot.

My bracelet was broken and couldn't contact anyone and my pants were also dirty.

*Thump* *Thump*

At that moment I could hear and feel big strong steps coming towards me.

The ground vibrated each time that thing took steps.

What the hell is that?

In front of me was coming a giant monster.

I immediately used "The eyes of see-through"

.

It has high status as a monster.

But an Orc?

From what animal did this thing get evolved from? A pig? A bull?

No, that doesn't matter right now.

I need to think of a way to kill this thing.

I got out my daggers in both of my hands.

I tested this earlier and it seemed I could materialize more than 1 dagger.

[ OOAAAAAAAAAAA!!! ]

Fuck!

It noticed me.

I closed my ears the moment that orc used its voice to distract me.

The orc started approaching me.

Now I could see that Orc more clearly.

It was about 4 meters high.

I could feel my hands trembling in excitement.

[ Hehe, I wonder what kind of skills I'm gonna get from this monster! ] ( Hatsuko )

I said and started running towards it.

From its movements, it's clear that this orc is powerful.

But thanks to my skill "The eyes of see-through" I know that that monster has a weakness.

Its slow movements.

My agility is higher than that Orc.

I could use that to my advantage.

The orc noticed me running towards him and started powering up its clenched fists to smash me but...

[ Too slow! ] ( Hatsuko )

I said with a smirk on my face and dodged its fists.

I've tried doing this before while trying to get away from bullies but I was too slow to manage to do this kind of move

The orcs fists smashed the ground.

I got behind the Orc and stabbed him with both of my daggers on its back.

It has hard skin but my daggers are sharper!

I left my daggers there and took some distance.

[ OORRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ]

It screamed in pain.

[ What's wrong? Didn't you expect that? ] ( Hatsuko )

The orc turned behind and started rushing towards me.

It got angry.

Huh, he suddenly got faster!

I run as well towards him and slide down under his legs.

I got out another two daggers and stuck them on his plantar.

He felled down on his stomach.

There was no way for him to get up with that kind of injury on his legs.

[ ooooOAAAAOOr ]

I slowly approached him.

[ I never planned on fighting fair! So you shouldn't complain and give me your skills! ] ( Hatsuko )

I got out another 2 daggers and stab him on his other plantar.

[ You don't mind, do you? ] ( Hatsuko )

As the orc kept screaming in pain I kept sticking daggers all over its body including the neck, the back, foot, legs, arms, and head.

It finally stopped moving!

{ Skill "rage" can boost the status in a condition! }

So that's why that Orc suddenly got faster.

That monster must have gotten angry after I stabbed him, that's what it made him activate his skill "Rage"

And it seems like my skill "Materialized dagger" evolved into "Materialization"

What's the difference?

{ Answer: With "Materialization" you can now create your own weapon as long as you know how to imagine it and how it functions }

This is truly splendid!

I can create my own weapon!

This will make it easier for me to kill!

Next is...my status.

Most of my status got up by 100.

For now, I need something to eat and replenish my stamina and health.

I'm really hungry right now!

I have no food with me so that only leaves me with...

The orc!

...

It's better than starving to death.
