Chapter 1: Character Building in a Dubious Browser Game

 But I didn't know it was an 18 game when there was no age verification. That would have been a problem later on, but there were some reckless vendors.

 Well, I'm not going to report it.

 No, a malicious vendor who sucks up your passwords, right?

 I don't want to use a password that I normally use, and I'll use an email address that I don't use.

 Of course, if they ask for my credit card number, I'll stop playing immediately.

 I'm not such a naive player, you know.

 I took out a notepad from my desk and wrote down some skills that looked good.

 You might think that I'd take the trouble to write things down in a game, but I'm serious even in games.

 But I've never been serious about anything other than games.

 When I use my computer's notepad, I sometimes have problems when I switch windows, so I use an analog notepad, which is the best.

 Of course, I also use strategy sites.

 I thought I'd check out the strategy site right away.

"Mmm, the title of this game isn't showing up ......."

 This is the thing. It's probably the one where the opening starts when the making of the film is over and the film starts. It's a little direction.

 So now that I've gotten the 99 bonus in character makeup, I'll have to work on my skills.

 It's a browser game, so I don't think I need to save, but I can't let my guard down.

 I press the "Redo" button, feeling a little nervous.

 I'm going to cry if I have to go back to all of my strength stats.

"Ooh! Safe!"

 Only the bonus points and acquired skills changed, not the basic abilities.

 There is no other button to go back to, so it seems you can't start over from the beginning. It looks like they've taken some measures to make the game more resilient. I don't think I'm going to try to clear my cache.

 I don't think you can redo the skill selection once you've made a decision, so let's choose carefully.

 First, check out the range of bonus points.

"Ouryaaaaa!"

 Hit the mouse repeatedly with three fingers.

 The numbers are 12, 15, 8, 11, 14, 4, 1, 5, 7, 14......, all below 20.

"Tsk, not much of a choice...?"

 I'll stick it out for a while. I've got plenty of time on my hands.

"38, huh... that's a tough call."

 I got a pretty high reading. It's not bad, considering the way it's been coming out.

 I guess I'll stick with it a little longer.

 Tick, tick, tick.

 .............

 Oh, did I do something wrong?

 It's only occasionally that I get over 20.

 Maybe 40 is the best bonus point for this skill.

"Toilet time".

 I came back, unified my mind, and clicked again.

 Click again, click again, click again.

 What the hell am I doing? I'm starting to think it's tedious and boring, but I keep clicking.

 I don't have time for this anyway, and I'm going to stick it out for at least three days until I get some good skills and bonuses.

"Whoa, 35... not bad."

 I think I'm pulling off about a one in two thousand chance for bonus points.

 The problem is the random skills I've acquired.

"It's a shambles..."

 [Ducking Lv.2] [Sense of Money], and [Nap]

 I don't want to live in a world where you need a skill to take a nap.

 Ducking is an evasive technique in boxing, where you bend forward to duck your opponent's hooks and straights. Well, it can be applied outside of boxing, but it's not a skill that can win you the world.

 To be sure, I opened the list and hovered the cursor over [Ducking Lv3], but the required points were 4.

 If you choose to do this kind of thing when you've saved up enough experience to level up, you'll be able to get it right away at a lower level.

 ……How about that?

 Don't tell me that this is the type of game where you can't get the skill anymore, even if you level up?

 But since [Dimensional Slash] is 5000 points and it seems like you can't get it from the beginning no matter how you try, you should be able to get it by leveling up.

 I'm not sure about the [Sense of Money], but if I were to take it honestly, I would say that you can figure out the amount of small change by just grabbing it in the palm of your hand. In a game, the rate at which you get small change would increase, or the money you get when you defeat an enemy would increase by a few percent, or something like that. It's small change.

 ...It's a garbage skill.

 They set up a bunch of skills and, well, I guess the developers just flipped out and put them in.

 The [Nap] skill is just a fun skill to look at, with the character's movements like that.

 I don't need it.

 So, I reset it.

 So I Click "Redo".

"Ouryaaaa!"

 I keep hitting it, but I'm getting tired of it.

 I said I'd stick with it for three days, but that was a lie.

 In a game of entertainment, it's not worth the trouble.

"Ah! Damn."

 I just got a reading in the 70s, but I was careless and clicked away from the number.

 What the heck, it's going to be over 40.

 But I guess the odds are more like one in twenty thousand. I've been hitting the button for over thirty minutes now.

"*deep breath*."

 Roll your shoulders a little and take a deep breath.

 Again.

 Click, Click, Click.

 I had a feeling it might come soon, so I started clicking a little slower.

 No answer. I had a feeling that it might come, but I was wrong. Well, I don't have any precognition.

 In this game, there was [Precognition], so I'd like to keep it.

 It's probably useless in an action RPG, though.

 At best, it would increase my evasion rate. It's a skill that can stir up your imagination.

 It would be interesting if I could use it in real life, like [Clairvoyance].

"Whoa! Oh! Here it comes!"

 I got 99 again.

 The random skills I've acquired are 【Increase Skill Points Lv5】, 【Guts Lv2】, 【Rare Item Probability Increase Lv4】, and 【Dexterity UP Lv2】.

 More than the first. I wonder if Guts can be increased by physical strength. I don't know what it does or how it works. 

"But this could be a thing, you know. Maybe it's a trick by the developer to get you to go straight to the billing course."

 If you stick with it for a certain amount of time, you're bound to get some crazy bonus points.

 It's funny that 99 comes out twice.

 Well, I guess there's no penalty, and for me, who doesn't pay, it's something to brag about.

 I don't have any friends to brag to, though.

 Now it's time to get some skills. I've already written down the ones that look good, so I'll start with the ones that are essential.

 The first one is [Increase Experience].

 This is a great skill for RPGs that focus on leveling up, because it makes leveling up faster.

 The only thing that bothers me about this skill is that it's displayed in yellow. Is there a penalty for taking it?

 Well, since all the unusual skills were yellow or red, it might mean that it's a rare skill that can't be obtained by leveling up.

 If that's the case, I'll have to take extra.

 It costs 5 points, so I can afford it. Click.

"Oh?"

 The "Increase Experience Lv1" is displayed in the "Acquired" window on the right. Does this mean that I can still get additional level-ups?

 I moved my cursor to the list on the left, and hmm, it looks like I can still go, but I have to spend double the amount of points (10).

 Hmm, there are a lot of skills I want to get, but I'm sure I'll be able to accumulate skill points as I level up. This is also a rare skill, so there's no harm in taking it.

 I decided to take [Increase Experience Lv2].

 When I selected a skill from the list on the left again, the number of points consumed doubled to 20, and it seemed to increase in multiples.

 It looks like I can get up to level 4, but I'll leave this skill for now.

 I selected a skill from the thieves' list, and checked out [Connoisseur]. It costs 3 points. 

 Go back to the other list and check [Appraisal]. It costs 1 point.

 Hmm, both skills are similar... Connoisseurship is about discerning the value, authenticity, and use of things, while appraisal is about the same thing.

 Well, since [Appraisal] is the theory in novels about other worlds, I'll take it from here, since it's cheap.

 【Connoisseur】is white, but this one is【Red】And it seems to be a rare skill.

 Even if it's a trash skill, it's only one point. This would be a big problem if the total number of skills you could have was fixed, but since there are so many skills and the window is so big, it's probably okay.

 I got [Appraisal Lv1].

 Well, level 1 is probably useless. I'll raise it to level 3.

 Spent 7 points. That's a total of 22 skill points, and I still have a lot of points left.

 Hmmm, I can't decide which one to choose, fufufu.

 I will look at the skills in red from the other list. I didn't pay attention to the red color when I wrote it down, but it's probably better to take it from rare.

[Skill Reset], [Increase Skill Points], [Skill Freeze], [Change Skill].

[Skill Robbery], [Skill Development], [Skill Disappearance], [Skill Copy], [Skill Stop].

[Job Change], [Job Tree], [Job Fusion], [Job Release], [Job Gacha].

[MP absorption] [HP absorption] [MP conversion] [MP transfer] [HP transfer] [MP recovery] [HP recovery]

[Foreknowledge], [Premonition], [Oracle], [Prediction], [Forecast], [Foresight], [Detection]

[Transformation] [Description] [Elixir] [Immortality] [Poison Resistance] [Paralysis Resistance] [Petrification Resistance], etc

 The strongest one is still [Skill Robbery], I guess it's a game with PK. It is inevitable that other players will resent you, but is the management okay with it?

 I hovered my cursor over it to see how many points I had to spend, but it was still 30 points, not cheap.

 I'm not sure how much of a chance it is, or if it's even possible to steal rare skills, so I'll leave that for later.

 The color of the [Increase Skill Points] is grayed out, probably because I already have Lv. 5, and it looks like I can't get any more.

 The highest level is Lv. 5, which may be a restriction only in the beginning.

 What I'm wondering about is [Skill Reset].

 If this can be used to undo all the skills you've already acquired and give them back to you in points, it would be a very encouraging skill.

 You can try out a new skill or level it up, and if you don't like it, you can use it to get it back.

 But will it be that easy? 

 The penalty would be a few points less than before, well, I don't think so, but if you just delete the skill, it would be a complete mine skill.

 I don't know, so I can't take it....

 I guess I need 20 points. I'll hold off for now.

 Next is, [Job Change].

 This is a skill that allows you to freely change your job (class) from Fighter or Knight.

 I'm still not sure about the penalty, but I think I can recover from it by changing classes at random and leveling up in a class I like, so I don't think there will be any problems.

 The required points are 30, so I'm not sure about this one either.

 [Job Tree]

 What is this? I wonder if it shows the branches of advanced jobs and the conditions for changing jobs.

 I don't think it's necessary.

 The required points are 100, and I can't get them now anyway. I'm not sure about the rest of the job-related skills. The points are absurdly high, so I don't really care.

 【Poison Resistance】is another white skill that I think is fine, but there will be poisonous weeds, so this is another child that I don't need.

 I'd like to have [Petrification Resistance] and [Instant-Death Resistance], ugh, but they're too expensive, like 500 or 3000 points, so don't put them in the initial list.

 Yes, yes, the billing is strong, strong.

 【MP absorption】This skill can be useful, though, if you choose to be a mage type.

 There are many similar things in [Foreknowledge], but I won't take only [Forecast]. It doesn't make sense to know the weather ...

 There's not much else...

 Hmm?

 [Description] Or something, right?

 Two points. That's a good deal. Let's take it.

 Obtained [Description Lv1]. 75 points left.

 I hovered my cursor over the skill in anticipation, but it didn't give me any explanation...

 Well, I guess that's the way it goes.

 I tried to get [Prediction], but it was impossible with 1000 points.

 I'll have to settle for the cheapest [Premonition]. 3 points.

 I took [Premonition Lv1].

 I'll have to raise it to level 4 or so before it's practical.

"Well, that's about it."

 In the middle of the day, I got lost and started to get bothered, so I just picked something that looked good.

[Increase Experience Lv2]

[Appraisal Lv3]

[Description Lv1]

[Premonition Lv.1]

[Skill Copy Lv1]

[Job Change Lv.1]

[Skill Reset Lv.1]

 I was running out of points for the [Skill Robbery], so I decided to go for the copy, which is 10 points cheaper. Maybe you can only copy skills in combat, but oh well.

 Now I've used up all my bonus points.

 After confirming, I clicked the [Next] button.

 The screen faded out with a whoosh and turned white, and I lost consciousness.
