Chapter 18: Morning (2)

Did I already have a sword combat skill? If I did I think it would be a rank. Duh, I used some Rank Up Pills. It is still a nice thing to know I am getting more powerful. Even if I do forget from time to time how I am getting more powerful. I also see my stats are going up. I need to get more of those potions. Ones that make sense right now. Which would mean I need to get the cheaper ones.

The more powerful ones cost a lot of Sin Points. That being the case they do increase my stats faster overall. Regardless, I just need to do things to get more powerful. Even if I have to buy things that increase my stats by 1. I need to do it to get more powerful.

I hate to tell myself this, but I still will get killed easily by low ranking demonic beasts. I can handle some D-ranked demonic beasts. Some other D-ranks I cannot handle. Like praying mantis, demonic beasts could overpower me easily. If only I used my first skill at a younger age.

If I did, I wonder how strong I would be by now. There is always someone stronger than you out there. So, I know I wouldn't be the strongest.

I would be the strongest in my family I believe. At this rate in a year or two, I will be able to go against my eldest brother. Ferin is strong but he mostly has high stats. Currently I am weak. If I am wise with my skills. I can get the upper hand on people.

Especially Card Caster. This skill allows me to summon creatures from a different world. It even allows me to summon humans from another world. This skill is useful alongside my dagger skills I just gained. If I combine these two my stats won't matter too much. 

That is a bad mindset to have. I need to have good stats since I could be a no skill person and survive a SSS-ranked beast. As long as my stats were high enough. The stats people have is the basics of their foundation. Since the higher stats you have, the easier it is for you to get status points. 

Time to go outside and hurry over to an outhouse. I woke up twice to drink the mana potions. Those potions don't fill me up when it comes to my hunger. It does fill my bladder up with liquids. 

After doing my business I have a weird feeling of relaxation. I have quite the amount of energy right now. I am ready to get stuff done. It has been enough time. Let's cap out of my mana. Forgot to do that when I was taking a crap.

Ah, to think I would see this again. It must be a bad omen. has a card effect that says: This card will only appear in the most dire of situations. As I was admiring the card's art I could hear screams. Coming from off to the distance.

That is the direction where I first found that abandoned house. Was it not abandoned? Then that means…Damn it! I started to run in the direction of the scream. Hector noticed that I was worried about the scream and followed behind me. I am not sure if Barbara is following behind or not.

I hope so since she is fast and strong. Even if she is not following me closely. I can always call upon the monsters in my collection. Now that I mention it, where did the baby dragon monster go?

When I arrived I saw a half eaten old lady. Disgusting, so grotesque this sight is. Ignoring my disgust I need to focus on killing the monster in front of me. Before the old man who has a scythe shaking in fear. Acts out putting himself in danger. 

So I shall summon a monster to help out Hector. This card is a useful card. I shouted "The BraveDragon Brave Destiny-Dragon" and the card manifested. This dragon looks like a hero. It is wearing a breastplate and a helmet. It immediately attacked the praying mantis. Slamming it;s body on the praying mantis body.
