《I'm clueless in another world.》Chapter 1

Yes, indeed the status screen was floating in front of my face.
But what the hell was these kinds of statuses?!
Where was the standard Strength, Agility or Vitality?!
No, this sort of game did exist in Earth, and some of these games would even hide the character’s ability.
But there were just too many stats. Although some seemed self-explanatory, there was no real information available to me. Apparently, I would have to learn through trial and error.
Then again, let's started with the body status. At least for me, everything except flexibility and lightness was clear enough.
My best guesses: Physical was something like a muscle enhancer, to let me lifted heavy object easily.
Movement seemed to let me increasing my movement speed? this was a little vague, but it was crystal clear Movement was related to... movement.
Fortitude and resistance seemed to be the typical defence and magic resistance.
And raising Vision would let me see something farther? then if that was the case, hearing seemed to be the useless one.
Next, it seemed to be like that. So as to say, once I got the Slash skill, I would become an expert with any slashing weapons.
But what would happen if I threw the sword? Or pierce someone with a sword? What category would that be?
Of course, no one would answer me though. Let's just assume it I pierce something with a sword then I would need the Piercing Skill.
The next part was the magic, as far as my knowledge went, Divination should be a magic that would reveal an information, Evocation was the attacking magic, Blessing and Curse supposedly the magic that increased or decreased the target condition, Enchantment controlling others mind, Illusion creating an illusion, Summoning to summon a creature and Transmutation changed the property of some condition.
At least that was what I knew. After all, there was insufficient information. Although there were many things that could be presumed, even I didn't know whether or not it would have the same rule as the normal video game.
.....
Now I'd just realized this, but since the letter was in my local language, that would mean I could communicate with someone else, right?

No, no, no I shouldn't get distracted by the small detail right now.
Everything from Mastery seemed to be the support skills or normal citizen skills.
I let out a big sigh, in the end, it looked like the only way for me to understand better was allocating the skill point.
But what should I get first?
Divination seemed to be useful, at least for now. Then again, Foraging meant I could forage better right? shouldn't this settle the food and water problem?
Then again, Movement, Physical, Fortitude and Resistance seemed necessary for survival.
Sigh... whatever, there was no way I could clearly tell which skill was the best without any information. I just hoping for the best as I moved my finger and touched the Divination magic.
Tsukasa Tsutsukakushi: Divination 0 → 1 Skill point 2 → 1.
I noticed when I put a point into the divination, my mana and mana regeneration respectively raised by 2 and 4. Then I heard a neutral godlike voice saying "Congratulations! You have learned Divination Magic Lvl 1, please choose four from the following effects. Warning, once you choose the effects it can't be undone."
Detect Magic, Detect Poison, Detect Secret, Direction, Guidance, Insight, Read Magic.
...Even it didn't give a brief explanation of the skill huh. But hey, at least it GAVE me a warning.
Then again, I only had a general idea about what those skills were about. After giving it some thought and struggling in the mind for about an hour. I set my determination and chose it by the name: Detect Poison just in case I found a water source or some strange edible fruit, Direction and Guidance, I chose them hoping one of them could lead me to the exit, and between Insight or Detect Magic, I chose Insight, well.. just hoping it would give an insight for my current situation.
After I had chosen the skill, I could see the skill description. Moreover, I suddenly knew how to use the skill, the incantation, the chanting, and the tone.
-Detect Poison: Detect whether a creature, object, or area has been poisoned or is poisonous. You can determine the exact type of poison used but the spell instantly ended. Duration: 1 minute. Range: 10 meters radius. Cost: 6.

-Direction: Instantly know the direction of north from your current position. Duration 10 minutes. Cost: 5.
-Guidance: Allow your mind to guide your attacks. Duration: 1 minute. Cost: 8.
-Insight: Gain a general idea of the target's combat capabilities as compared to your own. Duration 1 minute. Cost: 2.
I fell silent... everything except Detect Poison was a big disappointment, maybe I would get a better version on level two.
"Huh?"
Unlike before, when I touched the Divination it didn't rise to level two, and my skill points weren't reduced either. I didn't know the exact reason but my guesses it was because I still level one so I couldn't get a skill higher than level one, or I needed two skill points to raise it into level two.
Then what should I get next? it was between defensive or mobility... but, wouldn't it better if I had some way to protect myself?
Sigh, there were too many options, and I could only pick one.
"Let's see..."
I rested my chin on my left hand and using my right finger to scribble on the ground, but the lack of information was monstrous, no matter how much I gave it a thought, the other options seemed to be a better deal.
And once I decided to take the last option, my finger would stop, and I would scribble again, changing the options and the process was repeating endlessly. Before I realized, the sky had turned orange, and the temperature was dropping.
Well, maybe I was thinking too much. This time, considering the darkness of the night, maybe it would be better if I had a method to defend myself.
And so I opened my screen and touched the Unarmed from combat, considering I didn't bring any weapon or couldn't find any weapon, and this time, my health and stamina raised by 3.
Tsukasa Tsutsukakushi: Divination 1, Unarmed 0 → 1 Skill point 1 → 0.
"Congratulations! You have learned Unarmed Combat Lvl 1, please choose two from the following effects. Warning, once you choose the effects it can't be undone."
Double Punch/kick, Palm Strike, Hand/Leg Knife, Flying Kick and Sonic Fist.
After some consideration, I chose Flying Kick, Sidenote, I chose flying kick because it was the coolest sounding name compared to the others.
Next, I chose the a standard Double Punch/Kick.
-Flying Kick: Flies across and connects a kick to the target. Damage: +8. Cost: 16 Stamina.
-Double Punch/Kick: Use your trained fist/leg to attack an enemy in quick succession. Damage: +2 each. Cost: 4 Stamina.
Unlike with magic, this time I suddenly knew how to fight.
"Interesting." My lips curled into a smile when I received this weird feeling, it felt like I had been trained for a whole year by a Shaolin monk.
After taking a deep breath, I started doing a vertical kick straight into the air, followed by a roundhouse kick, an uppercut, all of this happened accompanied by the weird sound effect that came from my mouth.
"Then... let's do this."
I took a deep breath and I could feel my body became warmer, and slowly the warmness went into my legs. It was at this moment that I knew I should've jumped.
And so I jumped forward and let my body did the rest, posing as the masked rider with his trademark kick.
"Damn, this is cool!!" I shouted a second after my feet reached the ground. I looked back and noticed I was jumping for around ten meters no... maybe fifteen meters and all of this happened without me using any running momentum.
But, following this incident, my body suddenly felt weak, my knees were shaking and my face was meeting the ground.
"Status screen." I said and it seemed my guess was right. I frowned when I saw my stamina had been reduced to 3.
But what about the food? I thought. Then again, I barely able to lift my finger, it seemed like I would spend the night without eating or drinking anything. Though I heard a human body could survive for three days without a water, so I guessed tonight was okay?

Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi.
