In the end I wasn't able to find the person that disturbed my plans.

Was it a child practicing after all, and he left right after defeating a Zakon? Although I waited a while by the labyrinth's entrance, I didn't see anyone.

... If I think about it, it's normal if it's that. Still, just because it's normal, it doesn't mean that I can stop thinking about another reasons.

(Well... It has no meaning to look for an answer now I guess)

I stop thinking about that as I sigh.

For the time being, lets look at the achievements of today.

I take out the status card and look at my status.

[Main Status]

My status has increased greatly. And my LV has gone up by two.

The status increases due to the titles are as follows:

[Veteran]: HP +200, MP +100, Strength +5.00, Reaction +5.00, Endurance +5.00, Will +5.00.

[Double Edged-Sword]: Strength +10.00, Reaction +5.00, Sense +5.00.

Active Skill << Bisection >>

[Mind's Eye]: Reaction +10.00, Sense +10.00. Passive Skill <<All Seeing Eye>>

[Double Edged-Sword] and [Mind's Eye] have a skill each.

The former has <<Bisection>>, which is a sword slash with poor cost-efficiency at the cost of 50 MP, but it's a good skill as it ignores the defense and doubles my attack power, as for <<All Seeing Eye>>, its usefulness has been proven in the previous fight.

"............... Haa"

I confirmed that I have acquired the three titles successfully, and sigh in relief.

Although I was almost 100% certain of it, acquiring the titles just as the walkthrough said, and checking it with my own eyes calms me.

Even so, this one was bad for my heart.

It was really frightening thinking that I would have to do a dead battle with the King Zakon before acquiring the title.

These three titles are famous because they are easy to get early.

When listing each acquisition condition.

[Veteran]: Defeat one hundred enemies of the same or greater level in the same day.

[Double Edged-Sword]: Kill one hundred of the same monster in a blow each.

[Mind's Eye]: Defeat one hundred monsters without getting hit.

As it can be seen, these three titles have similar acquisition conditions.

And, the most troublesome acquisition condition is the one about defeating one hundred monsters about the same level or higher.

Generally, the monster's levels are not known by the residents of this world, but the demons have set levels.

Equally or higher means that I have to defeat demons with a lv higher than mine.

That is very troublesome.

After all, if I go over that demon's level even by one, the acquisition condition goes back to 0.

Even if I choose a monster high enough taking note of our level difference even if I level-up in the process, it's difficult as I would have to fight a demon quite stronger than me.

Depending on the enemy, I would have to give up [Double Edged-Sword] or [Mind's Eye].

And the worst is that, the highest my level is, the harder it becomes.

That is because the enemies become stronger and acquire special abilities as the level goes up.

The norm is that I won't find any monsters that die in one hit, and it would be even harder to doge all of their attacks.

If this title isn't acquired early, it should be given up.

There is a time when it's easy to acquire without much difficulty.

And that is at the beginning, the Level 1.

The Zakons die in a blow, so they are easy for the acquisition of [Veteran] and [Double Edged-Sword]. And together with those, you can acquire the title [Mind's Eye].

However, it's also a bet.

First of all, the experience acquired by these monsters is 1, and from LV 1 to 2, it's needed 100 experience points, so no mistakes are allowed.

Next, although in the game it's a probability of dodging due to established values, so with some luck you can dodge it all. If you get hit, you start again.

But, though it's obvious, in the game there is a save and load function, so you can easily try again, but in reality there is no save and load buttons, moreover, evasion depends totally in my concentration and movements.

That's why I thought my heart would stop the moment the King appeared and I hadn't acquired the titles yet.

After all, if the skills <<Bisection>> and <<Mind's Eye>> were not acquired, it would be quite painful.

As for the plan I was working on, it would have to be built again, or even worse, I would have had to give up about Erize.

However, although there was the risk, I managed it.

The first stage to strengthen myself was completed.

Well, what do I do next?

There are many things to do. Anything I do from now will bear fruits.

But, what is the most important right now? When I think about that.

Suddenly the silver ingot was reflected in the corner of my eyes.

If I sell this, I should make around 1 gold coin, it's quite the unexpected income.

Suddenly, there was an idea in my mind.

(................ Yes. Not bad)

There is sufficient strength. There is a need to acquire money, and I should acquire experience fighting other persons before I fight the thugs.

I decided to hasten one of the things I was thinking for the future.

... Looking back at it, I have to admit that I was too relaxed at this time.

It's normally impossible, the knowledge that was impossible to acquire, was acquired, and by using it I grew rapidly, the peak of my life.

It's necessary to earn money, although that was the reasoning applied when I thought of this, I just wanted to try out my strength in the end.

With the power I obtained easily, compared to the effort that others piled up honestly after many years, the senpais that grew up after many desperate situations, crawled from the depths of despair and near-death experiences due to overwhelming enemies, I just wanted the pleasure that comes from defeating them.

It's miserable, such an action if quite fitting for a chicken as Moriya Kei.

I look back at this time.

Well, even still, it can't be cured that easily, it's still a race to become an adventurer.

Supposing I could wish for anything, I wouldn't ask for gold nor treasures, but to be able to return to this very moment. And I would hit myself for getting myself full of my new acquired power.

Because money can be acquired as long as you live, but the past will never change.

I decided in this day to participate in the arena. I made up my mind on it.
