3 Grinding Point
Akira did not waste time the moment he entered his pocket dimension, due to the diluted time between dimension and reality that 1:1 made him just have less than 7 hours before he must awake at 6 a.m.
Why must he wake up at 6 a.m.?
Nothing is important, as he just wants to wake up earlier. Maybe he can go jogging in the morning while knowing the area around Kato House.
At the same time, in his previous life, he was also always diligent to go jogging every day before going to school.
It's already become a habit for him; nothing hurts him to have a good habit.
"Let's upgrade my crap status first."
He then opened his status, which was full of lowest-tier grades. Before upgrading it to an overall D+ that takes him 75 points.
...
Str : E > D+ (15 points reduced)
Agl : E > D+ (15 points reduced)
Luck : E > D+ (15 points reduced)
Endurance : E > D+ (15 points reduced)
Mana : E > D+ (15 points reduced)
...
He then left with 25 points, and he needed to use the left point to buy abilities and weapons in the Market App.
"Let's see. I will buy some survival abilities first. Hmmm."
Akira scrolls through the Market App interface in front of him to find something perfect that can support him in his beginning journey as a counterguardian.
Remembering those all kinds of heroic spirit and they're stupid versatile ability made him really need to be cautious with each step he took.
Not just that, seeing the tier scale that was more expanded than the usual FGO Tier he knew made him feel like his journey was going to be full of thorns.
"Let's buy those first."
Regeneration : E (1 point reduced)
Melee-Weapon Mastery: E (1 point reduced)
Ultra Instinct: E (1 point reduced)
Murasame (Akame Ga Kill) : E (1 point reduced)
Curse Immunity : E (1 point reduced)
"After that, it's left me with 20 points; let's empty it."
Regeneration : E > D (5 points reduced)
Melee-Weapon Mastery: E > D (5 points reduced)
Murasame (Akame Ga Kill) : E > D (5 points reduced)
Curse Immunity : E > D (5 points reduced)
After emptying all of his points, Akira can feel a change in his entire body, mind, and soul.
He then smiled before walking out of the barrier that surrounds his beach house and using the training simulator to reach the grinding point that he needs for his development.
It's said to be a training simulator, but when Akira looks closely, it's more likely a Battle Arena: Simulator where he can generate endless enemies from Tier E to the Highest Tier: Boundless.
The reward for each enemy he defeated looked like this:
E: 1 point
D: 5 points
D+: 10 points
C: 25 points
C+: 50 points
B: 100 points
B+: 250 points
A: 500 points
A+: 1000 points
S: 2000 points
SS: 5000 points
SSS: 10000 points
EX: 20000 points
EX: 50000 points
Boundless: 100000 points
It's the same as the cost of all items in the <Market App> and the cost of upgrading an item.
The enemies that respawn will be random, and the range of variety of enemies is boundless, where all kinds of monsters in the fiction can be spawned by each's tier.
"I see. Let's start from Tier E first to know how exactly this simulator works."
Akira then chooses Tier-E enemies, and the simulator starts to generate enemies that appear not far away from Akira's position.
The stage of <Infinite Azure really made him; this was the perfect stage for him to gain experience in combat and each battle he going do.< p>
(Enemy has been generated, a bundle of slimes.)
"Right, as expected of Tier E."
Akira then summoned Murasame from his inventory. The reason he chose the weapon was because it's more effective than imprinting curses on living beings, or, in simple terms, killing enemies with one slash.
The weapon itself is from Akame Ga Kill Verse, a curse blade that no one can wield so freely.
That's why Akira also bought curse immunity to protect him from the feedback of the sword on himself.
Murasame, still on it's scabbard, suddenly appeared on his hand. The moment his hand touched the murasame, he, who had never wield katana in his life, could do all kinds of various attacks that made him confident enough to slay his enemy.
Due to the <Melee-Weapon Mastery> that integrated into his body,.
Still, his confidence was still on limit to enemy Tier D at least.
After all, the Nasuverse, or maybe boundlessverse, he was living for was being scaled into this kind of scale Tier.
Back to Akira, the moment he tried to take out the katana from its scabbard, he could feel the chill on his body and a strange dark aura surround the katana.
"As expected, the curse weapon."
He then dashed at a bunch of slimes that were frightened as they could feel Akira's killing instinct.
*Slash*
Those slimes were killed by him so easily, as if those slimes were butter, than slashed by a hot knife.
(You get 1 point!)
Akira then opens <Battle Arena: Simulator, then proceeds to choose the next tier enemy, Tier D.< p>
(Tier D has been chosen... Generating the enemy...)
(Skeleton Warrior, x3)
In no time, his new enemy was generated, not far away from him like those bunches of slime.
"Undead..."
He sighs as he can complain much, as it seems <Luck > status was affecting the enemy that was generated by the simulator.
Grip the curse katana in his hand and dash to three skeleton warriors. Of course, their different from slime where they at least made a movement to defend themselves from Akira.
Akira, who is confident that he can defeat enemies at least tier D with his skill and D+ due to his stats alone, can kill them in less than 3 minutes. As he also had some resistance from those skeleton warrior.
(You get 5 points!)
He had bought Ultra-Instinct, but yeah, it's useless as it's still Tier E. Because of this, he is going to upgrade it first before continuing to grind.
Ultra Instinct : E > D (5 points reduced)
Another warm feeling surrounded him, and then he could feel that he could easily dodge all kinds of attacks that were coming at him while launching counterattacks.
"Let's farm till idiot tonight!"
His grinding routine has started, where he selects Tier D enemies so many times and accumulates points step by step.
(You get 5 points!)
(You get 5 points!)
(You...)
It took him an hour to get 50 points as his enemy variety was worse and respawned in a bunch at one time.
One at a time, it generated <Jaggi x100> from <Monster Hunter Verse> at the same time, which made Akira almost an idiot and need to rest for a few minutes before starting to respawn next enemy.
After upgrading his ability and weapon to D+, he then selects Tier D+ as his new battle arena.
"I don't care how scary the enemy is as long as it's not a bunch of them at the same time."
His confidence seems to have been upgraded naturally as he has gradually experienced fighting a bunch of variety monsters in Tier D.
Of course, at the same time. He tried his best not to be overconfident, as Tier D+ must be so different from Tier D.
(Generating the enemy...)
(Anjanath has been granted.)
Anjanath was one of the famous fierce monsters in the earlier story of the monster hunter world.
The moment the monster fully generated, it's screamed fiercely into Akira, which made Akira close his ears as it's deafening his chocela.
"Anjanath huh..."
Akira smiles as if the monster is a living being and doesn't have curse resistance to his <Masamune (Curse Katana)>.
The monster moved first while moving its head closer, like it wanted to gobble Akira alive into his stomach.
Of course, this made Akira easily dodge it due to his <Agility > and <Ultra Instinct>, which have the same Tier as Anjanath.
"Just die, and that became my point." His voice was cold while his hand swung the masamune in his hand to slash a part of his skin.
The monster scream as a weapon made a quite deep slash on his body, unlike in the game where the player had a number of attacks and Anjanath had a <HP > number.
This was a real-life simulation battle where Anjanath could easily die if he beheaded it's head or easily sever his tail with one slash if his weapon was sharp enough to slash it smoothly.
Anjanath had already entered his <Mad > state because the pain that he received gradually became slugish as the curse mark quickly spread into his body.
Akira held Masamune, then made a last attack that sever one of it's legs, making the monster fall because of the imbalanced weight that supported it's body.
(You get 10 points!)
The moment notification sounds ring in Akira's ears, the body of Anjanath instantly disperses into thousands of tiny particles that don't leave a real corpse for him to disperse.
After all, <Market App> was too versatile and unlogical, which meant it must sell different parts of Anjanath on it.
.
.
.
30 minutes before 6 in the morning.
Akira decided to end his first night of grinding, where he accumulated <1000 points.< p>
He then quickly used the point to upgrade his status.
...
Str : D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
Agl : D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
Luck : D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
Endurance : D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
Mana : D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
...
Regeneration : D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
Melee-Weapon Mastery: D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
Ultra-Instinct: D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
Murasame (Akame Ga Kill): D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
Curse Immunity: D+ > C+ (75 points reduced)
...
It took 750 points to upgrade all he had to C+ and leave him with 250 points.
Akira, who is already lying his back on soft golden sand, is wondering whether to invest the point he is making right now or leave it for the urgent situation.
He is also surfing the <Market App> to see if there is any interesting ability or weapon that grabs his attention to use the remaining point right now.
"Oh yeah, I need to upgrade my academic knowledge too."
He originally didn't like studying beside forcing himself and made it his duty as a student.
Seeing he had a cheating system, why is he not abusing it?
Photographic Memory: Tier C+ (91 points reduced)
He can feel that he can easily store all kinds of knowledge into his brain right now with just a glance.
"It's also good to invest in martial arts, as it's kind of impossible to draw <Masamune > out of nowhere in this daily world if there's an idiot trying to make trouble with me."
Unarmed Combat: Tier C+ (91 points reduced)
Like usual, he can feel he is invincible at the hands of ordinary humans, where he can beat anyone so easily.
"Left 68 points..."
Akira then remembers that he can learn <Time Manipulation, which helps him configure the difference in time between reality and his pocket dimension. < p>
But, at the same time, he had instinct that he at least needed the highest tier of <Time Manipulation> to configure the difference time as his pocket dimension was in Tier: Boundless if he included the boundless space and how it could generate all kinds of monsters with each different tier that made him accumulate points.
That's why he quickly disseminated the decision to learn it.
Akira then decides to learn something.
Stealth: C (41 points reduced)
Why did Akira choose that?
Simple: he wants to avoid some unnecessary attention and begone so naturally like Kato Megumi and Kuroko, who have a low presence.
At Tier C, he can easily erase himself from the sight of ordinary humans, making him invisible right now.
That's left him with 27 points.
"Let's exchange the rest of the point with money."
Money: 270.000 Yen
He decide to doing it after he caught he can exchange 1 point with 10.000 Yen.
Seeing he can easily get money with easy grinding process, made him thought.
If others know about it, they would vomit maybe liter of blood from their mouth.
This also made Akira sigh happily before close his eyes enjoying last minute in his pocket dimension before awake in reality.
"Life was so unfair, and so am I."
(To be continued)
...
I'm back.
