I press my finger against the "+” button, curious to see what’s available this time.
The screen shows another mosaic of options stretching out before me with a guide.
« ATTRIBUTE POINTS: +5 | SKILL POINTS: +1 LEVEL »
I see…
So, using attribute points increases my chosen attribute by five points, while using skill points grants me an extra skill level.
I think for a moment, considering my options carefully. Would it be beneficial to upgrade defence? Or perhaps strength? My speed could also use some improvement… So many choices, so little time.
After a not-so-careful deliberation, I decide to invest one attribute point into defence, increasing it by five points.
I still have one more attribute point left to spend. Should I increase defence further? Or should I try something different? Strength? Stamina? Perhaps even luck?
Eventually, I settle on investing my remaining attribute point into strength, giving it a boost of five points. Now my punches will hit harder
With my decision made, I move on to the next step—upgrading a skill.
My choice here seems obvious. Swift Strike has proven itself invaluable during combat, allowing me to dodge attacks and retaliate quickly. Increasing its level will only make it more effective.
I tap on the option and confirm my selection. Immediately after doing so, my body begins to tingle with energy as power surges through me. It feels incredible. Like nothing else I’ve ever experienced before.
This must be what it feels like to truly become strong.
Now that I’m done upgrading myself, I close the status window and begin exploring again.
This world is interesting, to say the least… I wish Asano could see this, too. She’d love it… Well, minus the monster bit.
I feel kind of bad for abandoning her back on Earth… Now that I’m gone, those bullies are sure to target her, as she’s‘the girl that’s friends with that loser’or whatever bullshit excuse they come up with to justify their cruelty.
I sigh as I start to feel worried, mixed with guilt. There’s no use dwelling on past regrets, though; I just hope Asano is alright.
The darkness of the night above rains down on me, and the whispers of nature echo in my ears.
It makes me wonder… If that mysterious voice has the power to bring me to this world, can it also bring me back to earth?
There’s a lot I don’t know about this place yet, but hopefully, I’ll find answers soon enough. Until then, I need to keep moving forward.
Steadily, I continue trekking deeper into the woods, listening intently for signs of danger.
However, as I progress through the forest, a strange sensation begins tugging at my senses. Something feels off… Almost unnatural. I stop dead in my tracks, scanning my surroundings warily. Nothing appears out of place… But why do I feel so uneasy?
Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps draws near. They sound human… Or humanoid, at least.
