I had gone outside, but I still wasn’t sleepy. For that reason, I thought about starting to craft a bag, but I didn’t know how to tan leather. For the time being, I washed the skin from the big dog I had gathered and hung it onto a tree branch to dry.

…Hm? There’s a message in my head…?

Woo-hoo~~!

The required SKP was the same as “Dismantling” for all stages. I allocated three SKP, bringing it to Lv1.
…With what I currently have, I can’t tan it, can I?

For now, it looked like the process I just did was for the best. After that, I also increased dismantling by one stage.
For some reason, I now know the parts I should harvest from big dogs, furballs, and small dragons…!

On that note, I didn’t allocate any STP at all since reaching level 8¹. There’s also a whole lot of SKP. Let’s invest all these STP and SKP from those 13 level-ups now!

I have 130 STP. First, I should… that’s right… For the time being, let’s allocate them so there’s a 20-point bonus to each stat. With this, I have 60 points left.

And after that…? Let’s invest another 10 into HP, MP, C, W and S each. Of the remaining 10, I’ll assign five each to MP and W.

With this, I finished allocating my STP.

SKP next! I have 113 of them left.

First, I brought Fire, Wind, and Earth Magic to the max level and evolved each of them to the “improved” stage. By derivation, I was able to create “E(X) Stone Magic” from Earth Magic.

Oh, that’s right. Let’s also allocate points to “Soap”!
By investing a total of 15 of them, it reached the max level.

…Ah, I put in the points without ever checking the skill’s description… F-For the time being, let’s take a look at it, alright?

I investigated Soap’s highest stage.

Oh, in other words, the skill just creates soap bubbles, doesn’t it? …I messed up. I should’ve looked at it in advance. Moreover, it has neither evolution nor derivation! I just lost 15 SKP.

There are 68 points left. Now… alright. Let’s think about synthesis.

What I currently want is thunder magic! Why would I want that? That’s because the main character of “Quest Start”³, a famous RPG, acting as a counterpart to “Dragonar Story”, has thunder magic.
Still, how is it made?

Still, how is it made?

I guess it will be unrelated to fire and earth. In the end, is it made with water and wind?⁴ Shall I give it a try, just for the sake of it?

Woah! Awesome! This is it.

It had the same performance as Water and Wind Magic. Still, it required 25 SKP. Well, that wasn’t a big problem. I immediately brought it to max level. Furthermore, I evolved it to the “improved” stage.

It didn’t cost anything to evolve it. I immediately allocated 12 points to it, raising it to Lv1. As a result, I learned Tunder Ball and Tunder Emission!
I’m so happy!

There were 31 points left. For caution’s sake, I raised “Sword Arts★” to the first stage.

What to do with the remaining 28? Hm~, should I raise Improved Thunder Magic⁵ by another stage? Let’s do that.

Now, there’s 16 points left, but… I’ll leave them for now.
…Jeez, I’m tired from all that thinking. Good night.

Author’s note:

The protagonist’s current status screen.
Furthermore, MP has been increased by 30 due to skill bonuses⁶.

1. I get that he won’t allocate them when he’s in the middle of the dungeon, but wasn’t he walking around for around a day after reaching level 8? You’d think he’d get bored at some point and allocate them.
2. Not 100% sure I got that one right. I guess it doubles the size per MP at 10 W. With Alim’s 135 W, it would increase the size by a factor of 14.5 per MP.
3. Since there was a confirmation in a wayyyyy later chapter that this is, indeed, another game called “Quest Start” (or “Start Quest” in the original), I changed it.
4. It’s interesting, how different author’s explain from what elements lightning magic is formed. I remember is being “Fire” + “Wind” in Reincarnated as a Sword, for example.
5. It says “Thunder Emission” in the original. Clearly a typo.
6. Those are likely 5 each from maxed out Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Lightning Magic and then 5 from Soap.
