Chapter 6:

What Is Level Up?

It has already been a month since my refrigerator turned into a dungeon.

Yes, it's been fast. But after level 9, I stopped going into dungeons and fighting monsters. But that doesn't mean I've given up on dungeons.

Now that I was at level 9, I finally decided to challenge the monsters to a fight.

Compared to level 1, I had about double the specs of my ability values, so I figured I would not be so far behind against the slime. And as I expected, I could beat the slime to death without difficulty with the Katsuo-kun bat.

However, an unexpected situation occurred here.

The slime is an amoeba-like being with an irregular shape. Therefore, even if I aim for a one-hit kill and attack the nucleus. The attack will be off. However, this does not seem to be the slime's intention; it seems to happen naturally. It is probably a defense mechanism it acquired during its long evolutionary process.

Therefore, to defeat a slime, I need to beat it several times with my bat. But even slimes fought back when they got attacked. And that attack was an Acid attack.

No wonder the slime dropped the [Acid] skill orb.

But by the time I figured that out, I had been hit by the acid attack, and my rider jacket and jeans melted to tatters.

At first, I didn't notice it, and when I git hit with it, it was the return blood or the return body fluid. But when I thought, "Huh? My thighs are tingling" holes started to appear in my jeans, and I was terrified. I hurriedly returned to the front room, where I quickly stripped off my clothes and washed my body with water, so it was not a big deal.

I finally realized that even the slime I had been beating into the chlorine with a little time was still a fearsome monster. I also felt my dungeon project needed a major revision, so I stopped hunting monsters.nove(l)bi(n.)com

At first, I thought that by defeating monsters in the dungeon, I would gain levels and become stronger, just like in a game.

But that was not accurate.

I realized that defeating monsters in the dungeon would raise my level. But my training had a major impact on whether or not my ability values would increase and make me stronger.

That was a problem, a big problem.

If I don't train myself well enough, I won't get stronger even if m level goes up. And once my level is leveled up, it will probably never be rolled back.

In other words, if I level up weak, you will grow weak.

I am already at level 9, and if I think about it positively, it is a big advantage to have realized this at this point in my life. I have yet to see any posts on the internet that mention this.

I took apart a pair of jeans with holes all over them and used them as a patch, then worked on a rider's jacket that I had mended by needlework overnight. I went down to the dungeon for the first time in a long while, wearing various other things.

I think I have trained myself well over the past two weeks. Then, to see the results of my training, I'll defeat some slimes and level up.

Current Previous

Level 10 9

Race: Human

Strength: 27 22

Stamina: 25 20

Knowledge: 23 18

Mental Strength: 22 17

Agility: 25 20

Luck: 3 3

Dexterity: 21

When it was time to check my status, I found that my level had increased.

"It's heerrreeee!!!!"

A gut punch of joy.

Everything from strength to agility has increased by +5. Wow! That's fantastic! And luck, which remained at 3, was still the same, but somehow the mysterious ability value helplessness had disappeared from my status and was replaced by dexterity.

"That's right! It would be dexterity! Why is it helplessness:?

I was so annoyed at Status, but inwardly, I was extremely happy. The long hours of tinkling and needlework I spent fixing the rider's jacket must have paid off. It was a complete coincidence, but I was very happy about it.

I think I'm beginning to see the law of improvement.
