Volume 1 - CH 11

The next day. I fought monsters until I reached 5000 points. Then that night I hid the entrance of the tree with earth magic. After making a hole for ventilation I opened the gacha window.

Even in the darkness I could still see the gacha window by itself. After getting the cow fang sword it became a lot easier to fight against fang cows.

Even so it still took some time. If I had to say what was easier to fight it would be the hobgoblins. Anyway, I managed to get 5000 points by giving it my all.

I’m begging you, please give me a good skill for this. While praying, I touched the eleven-time gacha.

My 5000 points became zero in an instant. That moment was pretty frightening. The chest appeared with a rainbow light. Then four bronze, three silver, two gold, and two rainbow-coloured orbs came out.

So, does that mean a rainbow chest signifies two rainbow skills then? To start with I checked the bronze skills.

No matter what came out from this portion I wouldn’t really have anything to say about it. The important part is coming up. The silver and gold skills will have a big impact on my life going forward after all. The skills in the three silver orbs appeared.

…An overlapping dagger technique. I get that I can use it with my dismantling knife. It’ll probably make it easier to dismantle things with my knife. Well, in that case I think I’d prefer a dismantling skill. I don’t know if that exists though.

What’s the tailoring technique? Does it do what a tailor does, or is it something similar?

I see. Then with this I will be able to make new clothes. If I use the pelt of a monster, I should be able to make fur clothes. My current clothes seem to have gotten pretty worn out. I was just thinking that it would be nice to have some new clothes, so not bad.

Most importantly I’ll be able to prepare warm clothing for winter. Yup, nothing wrong with having this one.

Next up is breeding technique. Is that maybe a skill for raising living things?

…Not that I have anything to raise right now. It probably wont work on fruit. Fruits are alive too! Or so I can say. There are a lot of good things in the silver skills as I thought. Moving on to gold next.

Oh, with this I can raise earth magic to level three. Now it will be easier to make a wall. I might even be able to use it in battle from now on. With wind magic at level 2 I might be able to scratch things with it. I might be able to find a use for it other than drying my clothes.

Finally, was time for the rainbow orbs. I was a bit hopeful that a skill outside of the listed specials would come out.

But it seems like it was just the specials anyways. As I expected, it seems like those three options are all that will come out of the rainbow orbs. I guess that’s it for now.

After raising my skill levels, I checked my status.

All of my stats have gone above 50, and some are finally getting up to 60. I wonder if stats improve based on which ones have been used more. I use magic for smithing, doctor, magic, and various other things. That’s why it’s the one that grew the most.

I get the feeling that my stamina won’t really be increasing much after this… I don’t really want to eat any attacks from my opponents after all.

I’ve really gotten quite a lot of skills. Next, I just need to find new monsters, and then roll the gacha around another 22 more times.

I’ll try out tailoring technique tomorrow. I’d like to give breeding technique a try too, but there isn’t really anything for me to use it on. While thinking about my plans for the next day, I laid down and went to sleep.

In the morning I used earth magic to clear away the dirt before checking the situation outside. The medicinal herbs and fruits were growing up nicely. I grabbed a momon that was growing up quickly and ate it.

Ah, delicious. It was juicy enough to quench my parched throat. Two days was enough time for chuchu grass to grow up. I made one potion and filled my canteen with it.

Alright, next up is clothing. I used appraisal to check, but it seems that I can use things like grass or flowers to make clothing. I don’t have enough flowers at the moment so grass it is.

I gathered some grass together and activated tailoring skill, and then in an instant a shirt appeared. Is this like using hemp fiber? It felt better than I expected on my skin.

The clothes I was currently wearing clothing for nobles, so although it was pretty of a pretty good quality it still didn’t quite compare.

I tried on the new clothing and… yeah, not bad. Or rather the size fits me perfectly. I gave the clothes I was wearing up till now a wash. …I could really use some soap. I wonder if there’s a skill that will let me make some.

I took a look at cooking technique, and soap was listed there. Why is it in cooking technique? I guess I’d thought of it before, but I guess a cook did mention it before. You can make soap using cooking oil.

That’s probably why it’s in cooking technique. It seems I can make it with oil and ash. It seems I can get oil from momon fruit and orange fruit. I prepared some ash at the same time.

Then I synthesized those two things right away, resulting in a solid block of soap appearing. Oh, what a nice smell. I used momon oil to make it, but I didn’t expect it would keep the fragrance of momon fruit. Normally it would be a lot more work to make soap. Skills are really convenient.

I washed the clothes I was wearing before all at once with soap and water magic. It was pretty hard to wash by hand, so I used wind magic to help scrub them.

After that I made a pole to dry them on and suspended it between some trees. Then I hung my clothes on it. Alright, everything is ready. Time to give it my all again today.
