Bloodless is still a level 1 sword. It is powerful for what it is in terms of magic. Just by holding it I have enough mana to cast one ti of any of my spells, at least. And then cos the increased magical damage. It is a powerful tool.
But I am naked, only in my underwear, and thrown into an unknown dungeon that was too high for my current stats.
And even if I get lucky and run into an enemy I can kill, I cannot gain XP on any skill or stat because of that curse.
But I don’t need to kill, actually.
My only hope is my sword.
I get my hands on the job. I have to see what I can find in this room.
I move and search around a couple of tables in the room...
[You found a mossy scroll!
You found an ancient book!]
The scroll could be anything. The book, I am sure, is a spellbook. They go directly to my inventory.
They are not identified, and my Appraisal skill was sent to level 1. It works passively, but at low levels, although it can ID scrolls and books, it could take a while. It is better to keep them in my inventory.
Exploring the room so more... I found mushrooms! They are growing on a broken part of the wall. I cut them with Bloodless and see what I can find.
[Hey! I am not a kitchen knife!]
What the...
"What was that?" I ask.
No response.
[You got Brown Mushrooms x2!
You got Spotted Mushroom!]
[Brown Mushroom
Edible
2 levels of Magic experience
1 level of Magic potential]
[Spotted Mushroom
Edible
1 level of Magic experience
3 levels of Magic potential
1 level of Charisma potential
Hallucinogenic]
In the ga, I would risk the spotted mushroom without preparing it first. The potential was worth it.
Here... I prefer to avoid it. Not worth it, and I don’t want to know how it feels in real life.
I eat the brown mushrooms.
The taste was bland... But it helped with my hunger a tiny bit.
[XP cannot be gained because of a curse!
Your magic potential increased slightly!
Bloodless gained 150 Magic XP!
DING! Bloodless gained a level!
Now it has an Ego Level 2!
Because of the experience gained, it obtains [Improves Magic 5]!
You feel magic flow through you!!]
Yes! It was about to level up! I have no way of telling how much XP my stats or Bloodless have, or how close it is to level up. I need the mod that shows it!
[Magic: 1->6]
I increased my magic stat by 6 tis only by eating a couple of mushrooms!
[MP: 100 -> 1200]
As my stats increase, so do my reserves. So, in total, now I have 3300 MP!
The enchantnt it gets is chosen at random from a series of possibilities. These possibilities depend on where the XP ca from. As I mostly fight with magic and the mushroom gave so, it was more probably that it got sothing related
It is possible to reroll it with resources and get a better enhancent, and with the chance of a better roll. For the mont, what I got is perfect.
I should be able to cast spells more reliably now. Sadly, I am not going to be regenerating magic too fast. That is another skill.
But the good news is that no matter if I cannot gain levels. As long as I have Bloodless with , it can level up and gain points for .
[Sure. Just stop touching in weird ways!]
Again... An odd ssage.
...is that Bloodless speaking to ?
"Hey... Are you listening?"
No answer.
I sigh and decide to continue my exploration.
The next thing I found behind a rock was a shirt and a wand.
[You found a white shirt (?)!
You found Scarlet Wand!]
The wand is the sa as the scroll and book. I don’t know what it does until it gets identified. I can try to use them, but I run the risk that they do sothing that I don’t want or that could put at risk. The thief I fought summoned a Young Dragon for making that mistake and ended up becoming its food.
So I will keep them.
The shirt, however, puts in a conundrum.
I can just put it on, but the "(?)" beside the na makes worry. That ans it is a Magic rank item. It will have basic enchantnts, and in a dungeon of this level, it can an good ones, and it can be made of a good material.
But I also run the risk that it is cursed. And to do sothing about it, I will have to get a wand or scroll of uncurse or get to a temple where I can pay so they remove the curse.
Cursed items are annoying. You cannot remove them once equipped, and they can have so nasty effects that are detrintal to you, like reducing stats, skills, or outright opening the doors to heaven for you.
It is sitting in my inventory.
"Fuck it!"
I equip the shirt...
Then I imdiately attempt to remove it.
[You are now wearing White Shirt (?)!
You removed White Shirt (?)!]
Not cursed! Perfect!
I put it back on. At least I am wearing sothing now. Whatever the properties of the item, they are already taking effect, but I cannot know them until I pay enough attention to what they are doing to or I ID it.
My appraisal skill, sadly, cannot ID it. It needs to be level 15 to appraise Magic rank items. Scrolls and wands are magic, but here I am talking about the rank or rarity. Those two are considered normal tier, so it can be IDed with just level 1.
...
I just noticed... A girl wearing a shirt with no pants.
I look like a girl from an ecchi.
I have several conflicting emotions about this! I am thankful no one is watching . That would be embarrassing. But I cannot deny I don’t hate looking like that...
"Shirt and no pants... Is there a mirror around her?"
[You pervert!]
"Okay, tell what is going on! Who are you?!"
But then, I hear a door open. On the other side of the room was an exit guarded by a wooden door.
[Your presence called the attention of a chanical Guardian (Lv 20)]
From the dark corridor cos into view a machine like creature, holding two swords. Its movents are thodical and clockwork like, and it stops the mont it sees .
Now, I have to think.
