63- Setting out 3

‘ding’

‘Defense - HP hidden function upgraded’

‘After upgrading, for each increase of (Defense) stat by 1, will result in increase of HP by 20.’

Reading this, I hardly managed to keep myself from shouting.

Just imagine, that someday my HP reached more than 10000; at that time even if due to the poison my HP decreases by 1 per minute, then it will not matter. Because, according to my calculation it will take at least 7 days for my HP to decrease to zero.

What is the concept of 7 days? A lot of things can be done in 7 days.

Although currently my HP is around 5000, but I correctly remember that till yesterday my HP was within 1500 and when I woke from my sleep, almost half of HP was gone. Which means I was in a situation, where I may die even in my sleep. Which is seriously not a good/honorable way for a young like me to die.

Plus, who knows, when I will get out from this god forsaken forest and get some money, or else my current money will be gone with continuous expenditure on HP and MP potions.

So, as my HP increases, little burden of problem that I am carrying will reduce.

After the 3 rd, 4 th and 5 th batch of 10 ‘Free stat points’, was added no other hidden ability was upgraded or unlocked. Which somewhat made me disappointed.

Although, I might sound greedy for setting this kind of expectations, but it would be a lie to say that if other people were in my place, then they would be happy or complacent or satisfied with this.

Then once again, I opened the status window,

After having a proper look, I was satisfied with looking at huge stat numbers. Especially the ‘Strength’ and ‘Agility’ stats which have crossed 200 and 300 mark, respectively. While other stats will soon cross the 200 mark.

Done with all these, I opened the shop and started scrolling to see if I could find other interesting or useful things.

After scrolling for some time, I saw that a MP3 Player was being sold for 100 Sikka. I felt that I need to relax my mind, so buying this should help me to certain extent.

‘ding’

‘MP3 player has been bought.’

‘Would the host like to buy batteries and songs?’

‘ (YES) or (NO)’

Reading this, instinctively my eyebrows got raised. But thinking for a while, I felt that it was common for the system to sell everything separately.

Considering the fact that how electricity is not available in this world, and I will have to charge the MP3 each time it's on low battery. And the fact that there is no internet available for me to download songs.

So, I clicked on yes.

Then the shop window changed and on new window, batteries and list of songs according to different categories like genre, language and artists, etc appeared.

The batteries were priced differently according to the sizes. I bought 10 batteries suitable for the MP3, and selected a dozen songs that I liked to listen in my previous life. The cost of all these was surprisingly cheap, that is inly 10 sikka.

The MP3 device I selected was black in color with no description of brand on it. I inserted the batteries and plugged the ear phones and started listening to songs.

A feeling of nostalgia started coming to me. Bits of memories of previous life started surfacing and gradually my eyes got closed and I fell asleep.

After few hours, I woke up and the music was still playing in loop. I got up and stretched my limbs.

I felt refreshed. I saw that Armelia was still sleeping.

Before I did not notice but Armelia was wearing male clothes which I had bought for myself and I gave her because her clothes were wet. Although, I could have bought children’s cloth for Armelia from shop (Writer’s joke). But I did not do that because of 2 reasons. Firstly, it would be weird, because if I give her those clothes then Armelia might consider me a pervert for carrying female clothes. Secondly, I will have to ask Armelia for her size, so that I can get her proper clothes, which would be more weird question to ask.

Armelia was sleeping peacefully and she was also drooling. Looks like she was having a good sleep.

I put the MP3 into the ‘Storage box’ and woke up Armelia.

“Hey, Armelia wake up, we need to leave.”

“Hmm....”

Armelia woke up lazily rubbing her eyes.

After few moments, she greeted me and washed her face. We had some breakfast and unsurprisingly it was still the roasted meat. And we finished the wild boar’s meat.

Done eating, we jumped into the water and swam back to the entrance and got out of the water.

Then we removed the wet clothes and I wore a new pair of shirt and jeans, while Armelia wore the previous dress which was dried and stored in my ‘Storage box’. Yes, we wore our clothes separately, where we could not see each other.

Then we started walking towards cliff from which we jumped into the pond. While walking, I continuously used ‘Observation’ skill on every object that came into my vision.

========================================

Let's make a few goals.

Mass Release on Monday:

100 Power stones = 2 Chapters

120 Power stones = 3 Chapters

140 Power stones = 4 Chapters

(Only if I reach this goal, will I be Mass releasing the chapters. Because I have started working in a company, and am tired when I return home. So, If I could see your support through this, I can reassure myself that ‘Yeah, I can still work on this novel and can also start new works’ for my readers.)
