After my encounter with Silvia, I started my training again, I now added a few hours of hunting to my daily routine. I also managed to learn a few more skills.

It is not Sunday, as I started a week earlier than in the novel and didn't waste as much time, I have pretty nice stats compared to what the main character had. My stats are really well balanced, my luck is especially well balanced! Thanks to that I gained tons of random rare drops from the mobs I hunted. As I hoped they are mostly from the 'daily necessity' series. Things like a toothbrush that perfectly cleans and whitens my teeth, a mirror that freshens me up as if I've added subtle makeup, chopsticks that make the food tastier, and so on. Mostly small things as I didn't hunt any high-level Monster in the deeper parts yet. I also made a lot of money selling part of the drops I thought I wouldn't need.
[Weakness Detection]: This shows the weak point of your opponent.
[Quick sleeper]: You fall asleep more easily and need less sleep.
[Assassination]: Kill the enemy before he even notices you!
I also learned [Sneak] and [Stealth] and they fused with [Assimilation] making it (probably) stronger. Meditation helped with getting the sleeping skill. But it’s not just that, the meditation skill seems to have raised my other skills too, during meditation I subconsciously think about mistakes and improvements of my past action and I noticed that by doing that my proficiency in those skills have risen! It's something like enlightenment, but appraisal didn't tell me anything about it. There really are still many mysteries left for me to solve, but my gut feeling is telling me that Meditation is some kind of endgame skill!
Since Friday I started visiting the nearest convenience stores, I am currently on my way for the daily visit of Sunday. No luck yet, I really hope this is still an event that happens. If it doesn’t, I might get in really bad trouble. Well, worst case I have to flee into the otherworld and stay there for a long time or maybe forever, from what I've seen it's not a bad place for me. I also talked to a few people randomly and everyone seems to be missing parts of their common sense, so I should be safe to do crazy stuff as the main character did in the novel. Not that I plan on doing anything crazy.
“Hey hey, it’s okay, isn’t it? Come have tea with us.”
“I already said no, I’ve refused you so many times already! Please, let me go!”
“Don’t say that, darlin’~”
YES! It's happening! I mean I'm sorry for the girl but I am still glad for myself.
A group of hooligans surrounded a girl trying to 'seduce' her in front of everyone. And no one does anything to help and just watches or ignores it. Ah, one of them grabbed her arm.
“Hey, come on, let’s go.”
“It’s okay, nothing bad’s gonna happen.”
“I don’t want to! Let go of me, please!”
I walk towards the girl, pushing one of the guys away to make space for me to walk and grab the arm that's holding onto the girl.
"She told you to let go."
With the unlimited power of [Social Mastery], this must look pretty badass and serious. No, I mean this situation is actually serious, at least for everyone else.
"Huh?! This is none of your business bitch!"
Everyone in their group starts staring at me, but they are also wary. I should add, my body transformation made great leaps! I have great weight and muscle definition, my face also is unrecognizable. Thanks to the rare drops my appearance is even better. Time to show them the fruits of my labor! I start grabbing his arm with more strength and twirl it slightly forcing him to the ground.
"ARRGH! GET THIS ASSHOLE!"
I should try to not beat them up too badly, no actually let’s try and defeat them without getting any damage but without hurting them too badly either. With my martial arts and body control it should work out against these guys.
I mostly deflect or evade their hits, and push them to the ground. Someone is filming me? That's not very nice, I didn't want to change too much of the story so I can know what will happen in the future, but maybe it won't blow up. Maybe. Anyway, let's smile and wave for the camera!
"This fucking bastard!"
Heh? Somehow these hooligans didn't like that. But they look like they understand that fighting won't help them. One of them also noticed the police sirens that were coming closer, naturally, I heard it before them with my superior hearing.
"Fuck, the police are coming!"
"Someone reported us, let's scram!"
"Fucking shit, run!"
They might not be the best fighters, but they are certainly good at running from the police. What astonishing speed!
"Are you alright? Have they hurt you anywhere...?"
The girl says after walking to me, it seems we moved a few meters during the fright, I didn't even notice that. The girl is as expected quite the beauty again. She has long straight black hair and looks exactly like a standard anime beauty. It's a hot day so she has a decent amount of skin shown. She is wearing a simple top and skirt and has a worried look right now.
"It's ok, It's ok, I'm alright."
"B-but..."
"No, really I'm fine."
Even though she was the one being harassed and I had a flawless victory she is still worried about me, truly angelic behavior as expected.
"Rather what about you? I hope that guy didn't grab you too hard."
"No, I'm fine!"
She shows me her arm where she was grabbed, with no signs of her being hurt.
"That's great then"
I say and smile with all my skills activated! Not that I would talk to a heroine without them active. I thought about going for a single lover but since this was originally a harem anyway, I want to just stick to it, at least it's easier to my heart than rejecting everyone I come across! No other reason!
“We just got a report…”
The police arrived, my job here is done.
“Ah, I was surrounded by a group of men, and this person helped me when I was in trouble! Therefore…”
The girl explained the situation to the police officers, they also asked me a series of questions, basic stuff. They then decided to bring the girl home, they wanted to do the same for me but I told them I was fine.
When the police officers decided to leave with the girl, she turned to me and bowed her head.
"Thank you for helping me this time!"
"Ah, don't worry about it."
"My name is Ishida Yua, what is yours?"
"Fukuda Hiro"
"Fukuda Hiro... Thank you very much! You made me really happy and I will definitely repay you for today!"
And she turned around and followed the officers.
Those are some good drops he is getting cause I know I would kill for stuff like that as well.
This comment seems pretty sarcastic to me, but aren't your standards too low?? I'm a bit concerned now D:
@GodlessEmperor To be fair those item drops are pretty useful in the sense that it make thing more convenient in a daily basis.
@DeathLight Tengo que estar de acuerdo con que son bastante utiles y convenientes
The story is definitely really fast paced right now, maybe a little too fast for me, but I take it that's because it's essentially recapping the beginning of an already established story you expect us readers to know about? Or is it that you're not bothering to expand on how the System works because the point of it is essentially that numbers go brrr?
I don't expect anyone to read the original light novel. But I do write in a way that would be hard if you haven't read much litRPG or isekai. Partly due to my lacking skill.
Anything relevant from the light novel will always be mentioned by the protagonist, but stuff like "how to level up properly" is based purely on RPG logic.
The mentioned "common sense of the world" is based purely on my experience of reading JP novels and how they work. I also wrote a comment on chapter 1 about what made me write this novel.
I'm somewhat aware that the beginning is an 'Isekai any% speedrun', I'm sorry if it turned in a way that needed prior knowledge other than normal isekai+litRPG stuff.
Furthermore, I do plan on writing a reboot at some point, which will be heavily revised. I will make sure to keep that in mind while doing that, but this one is like this, all I can do is to consider this more while writing future chapters for now.
@GodlessEmperor luckily for me, I can understand the major tropes so it isn't a problem keeping up :)
And good luck with such a rewrite, it sounds like it could be even better!
@Vnator Hopefully it will get better lol I'm still reading up on writing tips and tutorials. By the time this novel finishes, I should be much better at writing than I am now.
...Probably.
@GodlessEmperor I'm rooting for you!
