Looking at our status, we improved quite a lot in these 5 days.
I was also really surprised to find out that just by training we can acquire a little bit of EXP.
Well, the amount is miniscule in comparison to gaining EXP from killing.
But, well, at this point, I welcome anything that will make me stronger, no matter how small it is...
Another interesting thing to take a note of is that our stats also increased thanks to the training.
It's really reassuring to know that we can also level up and raise our stats with only just training.
Up until now, I thought that we can do that only by acquiring EXP by hunting.
And the most important thing is that our skills skyrocketed, more than I could ever imagine.
With this, our chance of survival should rise exponentially.
Also, while both me and Leafy gained only one new skill, it's [Dehydration Resistance].
This is the most important skill that both of us need right now, considering in what hellish environment we live right now.
Well, considering how little we are eating right now,
I won't be surprised if both of us acquire something like [Hunger Resistance] one of thise days.
Mmm, hmmmm...
Right now it may be hard Leafy, but please stay strong and soon in the future,
we will surely be able to live leisurely.
Weirdly, Leafy's name in his status changed to how I call him in my mind, for some reason...

Now that I think about it, I wonder how the naming even works in this world...
Ugh, naming is such a weird thing to exist in the world where even language still doesn't...
Also, what's with this [Instructor] title I acquired out of nowhere ?!
Is it because of my training with Leafy ?
How very mysterious and interesting...
Anyway, with all of this finally out of the way, without further ado,
let's start inspecting our skills !!!
[Skill check [Shell:Lv~]]
[-Skill name: [Shell]
-Skill type: Race specific
-Condition for acquiring: Natural growth of a shell-like exoskeleton
-Skill effect: Sturdiness of one's shell-like exoskeleton.
The percent of sturdiness increase each level by 5 %
(The exact percent varies from race to race)]
Ooooohoooo.....
Let's see, let's see what we have here...
.....
..........
...............
Sooo, how much is those 5% exactly ?
Without knowing that, for me, that's just some useless random number...
Haaaaaaa...
My skill doesn't even have a level,
so it looks like the shell of [World Isopoda] can't become more sturdier than it already is.
This is a little bit of a drawback for me...
Well, it's not much, but it is still very useful information.
Looking at what I have here, I can safely say that the skill [Shell] doesn't have anything to do with our [Defense],
that's why our stomach is our weakness...
Let's see Leafy's skill, I think his [Shell] skill is Lv5 ?
[Skill check [Shell:Lv5]]
.............Eh ?!
[[Status Check] isn't high enough to use [Skill Check] on other lifeforms]]
.............HA!?!
Well, that's a bummer...
I was really looking forward to inspecting his skills and than comparing them to mine, but oh well...
Well, not that it really matters that much, our skills are literally identical to one another
other than that [Photosynthesis] skill that is probably exclusive to [Nature Isopoda].
Now that I think about it, both red and blue pillbugs also had a few skills that looked like they may be race specific.
Shame I didn't have enough time to read what they were, considering the situation...
Not to mention, right after they died, all I could see with [Status Check] were their name, race, status and attribute.

It didn't show their stats, skills and titles...
Anyway, Leafy's [Photosynthesis] skill leveled up right after I stopped eating his leaves.
Thanks to that, he started eating less than usual, so we still have more food left than I predicted.
Good thing that I had enough self-control to stop eating them, but still...
Aaaahh, but they are just so delicious, even just thinking about their taste is making me drool...
.....cough, cough.....
Anyway, let's move on...
[Status Check [Scythes:Lv4]]
[-Skill name: [Scythes]
-Skill type: Race specific
-Condition for acquiring: Natural growth of scythe-like limb/limbs
-Skill effect: Sturdiness and sharpness of one's scythe-like limb/limbs.
The percent of sturdiness increase each level by 5 %
The percent of sharpness increase each level by 2 %
(The exact percent varies based on shape and size of one's scythe-like limb/limbs.)
After each level up, new information is provided that increase the effective usage of the skill.]
Whoah... Is the information so vague because my [Status Check] is still so low ?
Those percent's means nothing to me as they are, not without knowing the exact number...
Not to mention, I don't even know if those percent's will stack up after each level up
( so it will be like Lv1-5%, Lv2-10%, Lv3-15% and so on), or something like that...
This is completely unreliable information, no matter how you look at it...
Also, for acquiring this skill it says [Natural growth of scythe-like limb/limbs],
but both me and Leafy didn't acquire it until we used our scythes in battle.
This could mean that this information is untrue or...
There exist something like Lv0 skills and they aren't displayed in one's status until they level up and become Lv1...
If I think about this carefully, this could go either way at this point...
Aaaaaaaw dammit !!!
I won't go anywhere overthinking about it, so let's just move onto the next one.
This one gonna be interesting...
[Status Check [Status Check:Lv3]]
[-Skill name: [Status Check]
-Skill type: Unique
-Condition for acquiring: ???
-Skill effect: Ability to see and inspect one's and others [Status].
Other uses are unlocked after each level up.
(Overusing the skill coud be harmfull)]
Eh ? Eeeeh ? What is this ?! That's it ?!?!
WHY ?!
Now that I think carefully about this,
isn't this skill a little bit too much complicated for someone without any intelligence to use ?
It says that its a [Unique] skill, but doesn't this mean that it's exclusive to me ?!
Wait, wait, wait and calm down me... Think carefully about it...
The only one that have and could even use this skill is me at the moment.
As someone that died and reincarnated into this world with all of his memories intact, doesn't that mean... That ?
Isn't [Skill Check] my very own cheat-like skill ???
It wouldn't be much of a stretch to think that, but...
Eeeeeeh?!? Isn't that just a little bit too much barebone ?!
Well, at least it's something? I would probably be dead by now without it if I think carefully about it,
so shouldn't I be grateful to even have it ?
Grateful, huh ?
Grateful.....
Grateful to whom exactly ?! That mysterious voice or whatever ?!?!?!
Hah, I would rather die than be grateful to that thing...
That thing clearly has a ego and it deliberately fooled me into reincarnating into this shithole for whichever reason...
I won't be grateful just because I got one little convenient skill...
Oh, greedy little me, aren't I asking too much ?
OF COURSE I AM !!!
No matter how you look at it, I didn't deserve to be in this predicament,
fighting for survival with a bunch of stinging bugs !!!
It's like I being punished, yet I shouldn't be...
Hah, hah, haaaaah...
That... felt extremely refreshing...
It's been building up for a while now...
But still, it's just self satisfaction. My situation won't change no matter how much I bark around like a dog.
I know that, but it's still stressful... I'm trying not to think about it,
pretend to be fine and ignorantly go with the flow, but as the days go on, I'm starting to miss my home more and more...
Haaaaah....
Let's move on, before I become any more irritated...
Next are [Resistance] type skills...

ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.

To Cross the Threshold
What would one do, when a star crashes into the Earth? Die, of course! Except, in Joseph's case, it was all wrong. He met face-to-face with the Light, got the program forced into his brain, and woke up far, far away from his small insignificant hometown, in the ethereal endless void, full of stars and vigour, guns and loot, Daemons and Skills! From there on out, he got volunteered into the crew of the Morning Star, the pirate ship he was unfortunate enough to stumble upon. With a tree for the Captain, a dragoncat for the Quartermaster, and a human, equal in height and width, as the Cook, he sets sail across the mysterious and hostile Threshold, filled with fierce abominations, rich Ghosts, and patriotic soldiers from the Glorious Metal Empire, all to figure out what the Light has brought upon his Earth that day, and to find his way back home. Warning - English is not my first language, so I apologize in advance for any inconsistencies and grammar mistakes. Please, do point them out when you find some. Updates three days a week - Monday, Wednesday, Friday. This book is about the slice-of-life-ish lighthearted adventures of Joseph and Co. Just one long bumpy road, inspired by old-school RPGs.
