Guilt, courtesy, nausea, fear, and many other feelings dwelled inside Tetsu. Yet none of them opposed him from eating the pile of slimy rock. Instead, they agreed with each other that he should in fact eat it gue. Courtesy and all that…
Just because he ate every dead creature and rock, after the rhino tasted it first, doesn’t mean he can eat rocks and level up. The first was him being cautious and using the rhino as his personal food tester and the second one was him being dumb and wanting to level by eating some rocks.
“Hey! For all you know, that’s how you level in this stupid game.”
To suppress his nausea, Tetsu lifts the surprisingly light pile of vomited rock and heads to the nearest pond.
Yes, he decides to be polite and eat the...
“Blech!”
His stomach demanded it to be thoroughly washed before he could imagine further.
Tetsu raises the pile higher and smashes it back into the puddle, sending water flying in all directions.
The water flying toward the rhino gets evaporated before touching its body. Steam rises around the rhino, revealing a bubble of heat still present around its body.
Tetsu thanked his overthinking mind for the first time. If it hadn’t delayed him by the many useless scenarios, his hands would’ve melted down to the bone.
“Cool skill.”
Tetsu moves the pile with little effort into the water. His fingers brush along its side and find a grove between the rock. He digs his fingers deeper and gets a proper grip. With his entire strength behind him, he pushes his legs up, pulling the pile of rocks.
The rock, without following his lead, somehow dragged deeper into the puddle as it expanded. Tetsu now held a long rock with two huge holes in its center.
“Huh!” His brain took a while to process until it clicked. “Is this a pant?”
[Ding! You have received a gift: crystal mold pants. A lower-level Quart: node for unknown reasons created this artifact and gifted it to you. No bond is required to bind these pants. Increment: Dex: +13. Flex: -7. Flash: -10. Stamina: -10. Fort: +20. Defense: +24. Level: Initiate. Rarity: Rare.]
Sage guides Tetsu to infuse the pants with his mana, binding it to him. He feels the influx of stats and smiles. Before he worked out the very simple math, another notification stabbed his joy in the back.
[Warning! Your flex, flash, and stamina have affected your fort. Calculating and adjusting the current stat.]
