Chapter 14: 13. Taking a break and recalling.

["Stealth" leveled up to lv. 3]

Oh nice, looks like all this sneaking around increased my stealth skill, stealth is pretty handy. Makes it a lot easier to travel anywhere. A four armed monkey had looked over in my way, but then it had moved its head somewhere else. What is that monkey?

Uwaaa, did I just walk into the wrong part of town? That monkey is seriously pretty strong. Luckily it wasn't looking at me anymore and was now eyeing some nearby bugs. Don't eat me, I swear that I probably don't taste good.

Well, I should definitely keep stealth on, but now, I should upgrade some of my abilities. Ok let's see how many points do I have.

Ok, so I have 11 points right? Nice, now what will I spend them on? I need something to be able to sense EP right? 

So give me energy perception please.

[Would you like to obtain "Energy perception" for 3 points?]

Wait a minute here, I remembered now, I did say that I wanted to appraise every skill that I acquire, didn't I? God, I'm so forgetful, was I always like this?

[Energy perception]

[Allows the user to be able to perceive EP, this allows the user to sense it in others, in the surroundings and in themselves.]

Neat, a skill like that is pretty awesome. There aren't any strings attached to this one right?

Well, I trust you enough System. So my answer is a yes.

[Skill "Energy perception" lv. 1 was added.]

Woah, things certainly changed now. I can feel something around and in me, is this EP? I couldn't see it, but I could vaguely feel it, at least now I could perceive it right?

Ok, I have 8 more points. What can I spend it on? Well, Appraisal has been carrying its weight lately, so maybe I'll level it up? Might as well see how many points it costs first.

Ok, level up Appraisal.

[Level up "Appraisal" for 6 points?]

Woah! That's way too expensive! Are you a con artist mr. System or what?! A penniless girl like me can't afford something like that. Well, I can actually afford it though. But that's besides the point.

Hm. I am curious what a level 5 Appraisal will give me though. But maybe it's just getting too expensive for my poor heart. Guess I'll have to do it the ol' fashioned way.

Ugh what other skills do I want? I can't think at all, so maybe I should upgrade my existing ones? Yeah that sounds pretty good. Ok, please level up energy manipulation.

[Level up "Energy manipulation" for 4 points.]

Oof, this is still expensive...

Who is running this system?! Why is everything so expensive?! And who am I questioning?!

Ok, let's just calm down for a second and think carefully. The council will now begin their discussions.

Question, what good does saving points do?

Answer, I can save up for a better skill.

And how can I guarantee that I won't die before I get enough points?

That's the neat thing. I can't.

And should I level up Appraisal or energy manipulation?

I don't know, ask yourself. Wait I am asking myself!

Ok, enough of these shenanigans. It's now time to put a definite answer. Energy manipulation will help me in combat for sure. While appraisal will tell me that my enemy will destroy me with a sneeze.

So with that dumb reasoning, I'll level up energy manipulation.

[Level up "Energy manipulation" for 4 points?]

Yes, looks like you timed out or something while I was thinking huh?

["Energy manipulation" leveled up to lv. 2]

I am not regretting doing that, definitely not regretting it at all.

Okay maybe a little bit. 

But I do have 4 more points now, maybe I'll spend them to level up energy perception.

[Level up "energy perception" for 4 points?]

Welp, there go the rest of my points. Now I'll be homeless and will have to sell my body to make amends. Wait, I'm already homeless! Am I already going down a dark path? Oops, I got lost in my imagination.

Ok so, system, my answer is yes.

["Energy perception" leveled up to lv. 2]

Now I am broke in terms of skill points, oh and by the way system. Can I have wings?

[Not enough poi-]

Alright I get it! Now I don't feel like spending it anymore, guess I'll just save it for now.

Well, now is the time to stop my break, I really should get going to my location before more monkeys come.

But now that I think about it, I didn't have any breaks from the moment I was reincarnated in that cave, I wonder what happened to the humans that were there? It's kinda nostalgic now, just like the memories from my previous life.

Now that I think about it, did I catch a break even in my previous life? I remember that before my death, I was at home for a long period of time. But it's vague, that is strange? Why do I remember it vaguely but not clearly?

When I look back more, I can remember my teenage years really well, but my adult life is really vague. Eh, I did hear that people remember their earlier years with more clarity, yeah that must be it.

Oh crap! Thinking about my teenage years reminds me of such good memories. When I used to play an mmo with a friend I made in it, I do wonder what happened to them. Heh, they were nice fellows, always willing to help with quests. I do miss them.

Huh? That's weird, the first person I started missing was my online friend from years ago. And I remember them more clearly than my parents. I'm sorry mom and dad! It's just that you weren't very prominent in my life.

Huh, would that make me an orphan technically? I mean not really. But wow, I'll have to recall more from now on, I mean at least it cheered me up a bit.

What other friends did I have I wonder? Uhhh, well, I did always sit alone at lunch, not because I am lonely or anything y'know! But because I just like the uh, the peacefulness. Yeah that's it...

Fine, I was always kinda awkward with other people, and I always never had many friends. I am totally unsuited to be a tv star or something like that. Guess I was always a social outcast huh? Guess my friend count in both worlds is still zero.

Now I feel kinda sad.

Let's just get to the root.
