Chapter 21

n21 HP MP SP

n《Skill proficiency reached. Skill 『Appraisal LV3』 has became 『Appraisal LV4』》

nOh, finally my

"Appraisal

" leveled up.

nRecently, I didn't feel sick from overflowing information. Everything's going well.

nWell, let's see what has been added to it?

n『Small Lesser Taratect LV6 No name』

nHuh?

nNo change?

nJust when I was thinking about it, there were some lines with color under the species name.

nWhat's this?

n『HP Bar』

nI appraised the green line unintentionally.

nAs a result, I know what the line means.

nHP, an abbreviation often used in games.

nIn short, when you run out of HP, you would get a game over. A health gauge.

nThe gauge appeared in the appraisal result.

nI am simply glad.

nUp until now, I can only know how many damage I had received through my sense only.

nFrom now on, I can understand my current condition just by looking at the bar.

nNow, my HP gauge is approximately full.

nIt looks like it decreased a little and on the right end of the line, there are some bar color in black.

nUmu.

nThough I want it to be in numerical form but I should appreciate what I have now.

nAnd there are three different bars under the HP bar.

nFirst of all, let's appraise the blue one under the HP bar.

n『MP Bar』

nWell, it's as expected.

nIf there's HP then there's definitely MP.

nI think it should be showing the amount of my remaining magic power.

nEven if I say that, I can't use magic so it's unrelated to me.

nIt will probably decrease when I use magic.

nOf course, my MP doesn't decrease because I don't use magic.

nThere are two bars under the MP bar which is a mystery to me.

nIt's a yellow and red bar. But the two of them sticks together and become a thick bar.

nI don't know what this bar shows.

nAppraisal.

n『SP Bar』

nHmm?

nSP?

nSkill point?

nHmmm?

nIs it necessary to make it as a bar?

nNo, wait.

nMaybe this is not skill point?

nSince SP is abbreviated, I don't know which abbreviation is it.

nYosh, I should appraise SP.

n『SP:Stamina Point』

nOh?

nAh, as expected, it was not skill point and it was the abbreviation of a different word.

nIt's confusing!

nFuu.

nStamina.

nA physical version of magic power. Does it decrease if I move?

nMmm, hmm?

nBut why there are two gauges?

nMoreover, the upper yellow gauge is full while the red gauge has decrease around one-third.

nWhat are the difference of these two?

nFor trial, I appraise the stamina point again.

n『Stamina Point:Point consumed by movement』

nAh, un.

nAfter all, I don't understand it.

nAh, but won't I understand it soon if I observe it?

nIf possible, I want to appraise myself continuously because I want to look at my HP constantly.

nI try to maintain the appraisal cast on myself.

nHmm, is it like this?

nUn.

nIt looks like it went well.

nNow, I can always confirm my HP unless I cancel my

"Appraisal

" on purpose.

nIt became quite convenient.

nThough it's convenient being able to see my own HP, but won't it be advantageous if I can see my opponent's HP?

nBy looking at the opponent's HP, I can know how many hits to defeat it and if my opponent is a magic user, it's natural to win if I knew it's MP.

nWell, I still haven't meet any monster that can use magic.

nBut, able to know a part of the opponent's information serves as a huge advantage in a fight.

nDid the

"Appraisal

" skill finally raised the cheat skill flag?

nFufufu.

nI intentionally acquired the useless

"Appraisal

" skill because I had anticipate that this would happen.

nIt's not that I never knew that it's useless!

nLet's pretend that it's like that!

nWell, let's pull my self together and explore the dungeon.

nOh, a monster.

n『Elro Ferect LV2 Failed to appraise its status』

nI withdraw my previous remarks.

nIt's still useless.

nWhy does it have to fail in such a crucial place....

nHaa, I'm a fool to expect from it.

nFor the time being, I should do something with the centipede.

nHmm.

nBut isn't it impossible to launch a surprise attack here?

nAlthough, it haven't noticed me yet but it's heading towards my direction.

nAh, I got a good idea!

nI crawl up the wall stealthily.

nThe body of a spider is convenient for such time.

nWithout change, I arrive at the ceiling.

nUgh, it's slightly hard to cling on the ceiling upside down.

nBut I can hold on if I brace myself.

nI move along the ceiling stealthily.

nHold on, my leg!

nHmm?

nMy stamina gauge is decreasing?

nNow's not the time for it. I need to concentrate on my strategy.

nI arrive right above of the centipede.

nYosh yosh.

nThat guy haven't notice me who's right above of it.

nI attach a thread to the ceiling and descend quietly towards the centipede.

nAnd then I jump at it!

nThe centipede starts to panic but it's already too late.

nI wrapped it with my thread.

nAnd bite it!

nFuhahaha!

nThis is my so called

"Be careful, I'm coming from the top

" strategy!

nA great success!

nWell then, itadakimasu.

nFumu.

nI recall about the stamina gauge while eating.

nWhen I was clinging on the ceiling, it was the yellow gauge that decreased.

nI decreased slowly when I straddle my leg.

nBut now, it's fully recovered.

nHmm?

n《Skill proficiency reached. Acquired skill 『Paralysis Resistance LV1』》

nO, Oh!

nCentipede, I didn't know that you have paralysis in your body!

nWon't it be dangerous if I failed to defeat it with my surprise attack?

nLet's be careful next time.

nHmm?

nHmmm?

nSomehow the red line of the stamina gauge is recovering a little.

nThought it should have decreased by around one-third, it's recovering slowly and now, it's around a quarter from full.

nWhy?

nDid I do anything that can recover my stamina?

n....Ah, I ate my meal.

nAh!

nSo it's like that!

nI see.

nI understood it a little.

nIn other words, the lower red gauge shows the current whole physical strength.

nAnd the upper yellow gauge decreases when stamina is used instantaneously.

nFor trial, I try to run at full speed.

nThe yellow gauge decrease instantly.

nI ran out of energy at the same time as the yellow gauge was exhausted.

nZeze. (ゼーゼー) (Gasping sound)

nAh, running at full speed after eating. I'm such an idiot.

nMy stomach is aching.

nThis is intense.

nHowever, with this, it's confirmed.

nThe yellow gauge is the gauge of instantaneous power.

nI would lose my breath when it's exhausted.

nHowever, because it's consumed instantaneously, the recovery is fast.

nIn fact, once my panting stops, the gauge recovers steadily.

nAnd the lower red gauge is my total physical strength.

nThe red gauge decreased a little when I ran.

nIt seems dangerous if the red gauge is fully exhausted.

nLike I cannot move if it's exhausted.

nI don't want to be in such situation.

nIt would recover if meals or nourishments are supplied and I should always pay attention to the remaining amount of the red gauge.

n
