And another skill bites the dust.
It's been quite a few days (it feels like more than a month) since I was reborn, but things have been going... smoothly, I guess.
After I read about my race in the Kigal-Note, I made sure to stay out of the way of any monster possible, as probably anyone could best in a fight, unless I got lucky again like with the snake.
Dungeon or cave, in places like this, the stronger guys would be at the bottom layers, while the weaker guys should be closer to the entrance. Maybe there's soone weak enough for to farm EXP on! It's still better than being here with boulders trying to make a snack outta you.
The good news is that there aren't too many monsters that can climb up to the hills, so I've been using these heights to escape any troubles, and monsters as well.
The only guys on this floor who can climb all the way up to here are the Scavenger Snakes, and they stick to eating the remains of the als from either those snake-necked tortoises like the first two guys or a cobra-like Water attribute monster that sotis cooperate with the tortoise.
Not sure what the latter two guys are, as [Identification]'s range can't reach them from up here. It's safe up here, so I won't be going down anyti soon.
Food's no problems, as the whole place's littered in flora. The other monsters kept away from them for so reason, so I needed to figure out what kinda plants they were. That was done when I got [Identification] to Lv.5. A simple ability known as [Na Identification] got unlocked then. That, plus the Kigal-Note, was just what was needed to solve this mystery.
The reason why vegetables ain't on the nu is 'cause of this special plant known as the Crackerberries. They're an Explosion attribute plant species that literally blows you up when you're getting too close to them. They grow with other plants, camouflaging themselves to look just like them, so eating plants with these pests around is equal to playing Russian roulette with dynamite instead of bullets.
Funny thing is, their Explosion attribute was the reason why I'm able to figure them out. All hail [Magic Sight]! Even so, I needed to use the Note to figure out what was edible from the non-explosive ones. So were goods, so were misses... I miss a good egg-and-bacon breakfast now... not to ntion BBQ. Wonder if there are so non-monster fishes here?
Speaking of which, it beca the third skill to reach Lv.10. [Identification] from before is the fourth guy.
The first one was unsurprisingly [Night Vision]. It also cos in colors when reaching Lv.10! The first colorful view of the marine blue caves was breathtaking...
Back to the point, the second skill that reached the good, ol' Lv.10 is [Spider Thread]. There was barely a mont between this guy, and [Night Vision]! But when I gave it a thought, I do use it to make bridges and for climbing, as I keep on walking on the higher area of this floor. I also used it against the snake, which was way higher in level than , as proved by getting the [Giant Killer] title. Maybe you get so bonus proficiency when using skills against stronger targets? Like in gas?
When we're on it, let give a quick explanation about titles. They're special abilities, similar to skills, that are automatically acquired when fulfilling certain requirents. In [Giant Killer]'s case, that was to kill a creature that was at least 10 levels higher, and their racial rank was one higher than my own.
Titles co with tons of rewards, such as bonus EXP, up to two skills, unlock certain classes, and you may even get so Skill Points! With [Giant Killer], I got two skills, [Strength Increase (Small)], and [Vitality Increase (Small)]. They're skills that improve your status values, not that I feel any different from before.
As for the effect of the title itself, an increase in damage is inflicted on those with a higher level, or higher rank in the racial hierarchy. Or, better yet, both at once! Sweet. Except for the part that I'll probably be toast if I face sothing like that.
You also get an equal amount of Skill Points, depending on how many Points the killed creature's race gets when they level up or reach a tenfold level with a skill. The snake was rank E- so I got 0.3 Points... which was doubled due to the whole Champion-thing,
Due to that, I've earned a total of 2.2 Skill Points since I was born. The initial 1 Point is not included.
I leveled up 4 tis due to the snake, giving 0.4*2, aning 0.8 Points from only that, then 0.3 from the title, doubled to 0.6, for finally, those from the four skills lately, giving 0.8 more Points.
I used up 1 Point after the snake episode, to get the [Threadsmanship] skill I saw when I got [Spider Thread]. The skill is what's called, a "Weapon Proficiency" skill. aning that even a doofus with a sword can use it with they get a [Swordsmanship].
Yeah. Threads can be used as weapons. Who'd known? Except for all the guys out there that watch ani and spy movies?
It helps make better thread-based creations as well. Like laces! Okay, I joked. It helps make what I call web bridges. And I know the na's too spot-on. But anything that helps avoid the monster-infested ground floor is fabulous in my book.
Oh, and I used the remaining 1 Point as well, leaving with only 0.2 Skill Points in the wallet. The new skill is called [Danger Sense], which is better than nothing within detection abilities, I guess.
Now then, I've been delaying this for too long, but people may be wondering about the System ssage I got before. The [Discern] skill is a little sothing that allows to "double-identify" the results that [Identification] brings up.
This is needed since [Identification] can only tell how many skills, titles, and blessings, the target of identification has. Besides, it's faster to identify it rather than to look it up in the book all the ti.
Therefore, let's not waste any ti! Take up the Skill Shop... searching using one of the skills in my possession... using [Identification] for the search... and presto!
SKILL SHOP
Available skill points: 0.2
Search by word:
Search by skill [Identification]
Available skills:
[Discern Lv.1] - 3 Skill Points[Identification Blocking Lv.1] - 3 Skill Points[Fake Identity Lv.1] - 5 Skill Points
Power-up [Identification Lv.10]: 1 Skill Point for 1 level up.
Ugh, 3 Points... Anyway, this is another way of using the Skill Shop. You can look after skills that are related to the one you used for the search, and it's even possible to gain new levels with it by paying Skill Points! I would rather obtain new skills instead, but every man to his taste..., or in this case, every demon.
Still... those other two skills... I won't be needing them in this cavern, or Dungeon, or whatever. Still, it's not stupid to keep a mo about them existing.
Anyway, there's no need for [Discern] at the mont. [Identification] at Lv.10 can't show skills yet anyway. Just look:
Na:Garami
Race:Grey Demon | Gender: Female
Level:5
HP: 14/14MP: 10/10SP: 16/20
STR: 15VIT: 11MAG: 9
RES: 10SPD: 14DEX: 21
INT: 120LUC: 150
Only stats, gender, level, and na! The gender, level, and na ca when the skill reached Lv.5.
At Lv.15, I can see these Karma Values, and at Lv.20, you can see the skills, along with the Skill Points. I need that [Discern] skill to see what the skills really are though.
Lv.30 lets see the traits of the guys, but not what they are until I get [Discern]. And Lv.40 lets see titles, but, again, you need [Discern]. And at Lv.50, the Blessings from the gods are shown. I don't even need to ntion the need for that other skill, do I?
Therefore, there's no dire need for [Discern] right now, but I wanna have more skills! And not live in this snake hole! Stairs to the next level, where are you!?

Zzz... One grilled chicken... Two grilled chickens... Zzz...
*rumble, rumble, rumble!*
Whoa!? I'm up!
"SHAAAAA!!!" - ???
That sound-! A snake? Where's... whoa!
A gigantic... cobra? Sothing that looked like a bigger, and more regal-looking, version of the Water attribute cobras that I've seen on the ground floor. It's so big, its head touches the fog-banks in the ceiling! Its scales look more like sapphires than snake scales, and on its head, there is so sort of crown? Horns? It just looks like he has so crown on top of his head.
*SPLASH!!*
WOW! Was that sothing like a dragon's breath? Whatever it is, large amounts of water ca out of the cobra's mouth. And it reaches even here! Wait, was these 'hills' sothing that was ford from the cobra's mouth?
... This is a guy I don't wanna ss with. I think I'm gonna call him the king cobra from now on.
Hey! That's a Fishman! Or, what's left of him. Don't tell they challenged the king cobra? They must have. I don't think a Fishman would get taken out by water after all.
Maybe that's why there are not so many different types of monsters here? They got flushed away by the king cobra! The Water attribute monsters must have so ways to cope with the flow, and the Scavenger Snakes can just escape to higher ground.
This event has furthered my will to escape this floor. Let's just go the opposite way of the water flow, as it's probably being led towards the lake tunnel that goes downwards. Just need to steer clear of his majesty. He gives the shivers.
Hmm... maybe these fishn are so sort of invaders? The king cobra blasted them 'cause they were moving on his turf. That sounds plausible. Then, considering the position of the king cobra's blast (which should be the direction the fishn ca from) with the water flowing towards the lake, the entrance should be... around that way!
It's also an area that I haven't looked at yet, according to my map, so let's check it out afterward. I'll wait for his majesty to go to sleep. In the anwhile, I'll hide behind this big rock...
