Issei Point of View.
...
- God I felt like I could fall because I was so nervous...
After his word a big smile had formed on his face.
His heart could not contain his happiness, finally a girl was willing to spend time with him, he wanted to see the faces of his friends when they knew that he was spending time with the academy's mascot Koneko Toujou .
Sitting down on the bench again, he would begin to calm down slightly.
- I think now I can review those notifications more calmly.
Sighing from the slight headache that was forming due to the constant notifications that were coming to him, he decided to start where he had left off.
...
...
[Koneko feels strange when she feels you grab her hand]
[Koneko feels slightly annoyed by your words]
[Reputation with Koneko - 5]
[Koneko accepts your sincere words]
[Reputation with Koneko +10]
[Koneko looks at you with new eyes and believes that you are leaving your evil ways]
[Koneko I enjoy eating sweets with you]
[Reputation with Koneko +10]
[Koneko is slightly surprised by your question but she agrees to eat sweets with you]
[Reputation with Koneko +10]
[Due to its title "Hopeless Pervert" the reputation gained is reduced]
[Koneko Toujou neutral 15/50]
...
-Damn title!!!!!
Anger quickly took hold of him, if it weren't for that damn title he could have 35 reputation points.
But as quickly as it came his anger left even faster.
Feeling how his mind relaxed and his anger faded, he could only sigh, thanking his player's mind.
Analyzing everything in depth, one wonders why the maximum reputation score was 50.
By clicking on the notification a new screen appeared.
...
Doorbell...
[The Relationship System is divided into several stages "Hate", "Disgust", "neutral", "Like", "Love"]
[Each one has a maximum of 50 points. For example, if you bring your neutral reputation to 50 points, the like reputation will continue to be 50/100 and in the same way it would be if the negative reputation exceeds 50 points, dislike reputation -50/-100]
[The Relationship System is currently locked, reach level 10 to unlock]
...
Understanding the reputation system better thanks to the explanation, he looks at the notifications that he had dismissed for paying attention to koneko.
...
[Congratulations host found your first dungeon "Yokai Forest lv 15 - 35"]
[As a reward for finding your first dungeon you are given the skill "Create/Escape ID"]
...
Well now he already had a way to level up but right now he is so weak and unskilled that he was afraid of dying even if he found a low level dungeon.
Noticing the new ability he had acquired he decided to take a look.
...
Create/Escape ID (active) lv 1: Enabled allows you to create and escape from instant dungeons, they are imperceptible to anyone other than the host and whoever you wish to take with you, with enough level you can create time warp dungeons, currently the time is (1:1).
Dungeons you can create:
Empty dungeon. Level recommendation (1)
Zombie Dungeon. Level recommendation (1 - 10)
Spend 5 MP per use.
...
This was an incredible ability made even more so by the time distortion he would gain once he leveled up.
Wanting to try out his new skill the immediate activity without worrying if anyone was around.
- Create ID/Empty Dungeon
Minus 5 MP
Suddenly all noise around him disappeared from the birds singing to the wind blowing the leaves.
- Uh? is this the dungeon? It's really completely empty...
Looking around he couldn't see anything but the trees, feeling curious he would walk out of the plaza finding the streets completely empty.
- This is so weird.
Pressed on "Empty Dungeon" in the description of his ability a small screen appeared in front of him.
...
[Empty dungeon: A perfect place to train without being disturbed and the perfect battlefield if you don't want to destroy anything around you, everything that happens in this world will not be reflected in the underworld]
...
- Well that would be a great advantage when you unlock your Booster Gear and start training.
- I think I should go home and try ways to improve my stats, Escape ID.
Minus 5 MP
When he left the dungeon he wouldn't see anyone making him breathe a sigh of relief.
- I'm an idiot, I have to be careful, if anyone sees me I'll be in trouble.
- "Sigh" for now I'm going to run home, maybe it will help me upload some physical statistics.
And just as he had said he ran all the way home.
10 minutes later
You could see the brown-haired man wading from exhaustion.
- Ugh... I'm really out of shape but at least I know a way to raise Vit.
He would be smiling widely because of the notification that had just arrived.
...
[Due to constant exercise Vit +1]
...
After reading that he looked at his status and his Vit had actually gone up one point.
- Great, now I need to find a way to upload the rest of the statistics...
When he finally recovered, she entered his house and saw his mother about to start cooking.
- (Heh perfect just in time) mom wait.
- Huh? Issei? what's happening son?
Approaching her mother with some nerves, she closes her eyes tightly.
- Mom, could you teach me how to cook!!
- ....
Not hearing his mother's response would open his eyes even more nervous, but when he saw his mother's wide smile he felt a little calmer.
- Oh Issei, I didn't know you wanted to learn to cook because you didn't tell me before, of course come son, you're as good a cook as mom.
- Thank you mom, I will try my best to learn.
And so she spent a couple of hours cooking with her mother, but while she was learning to cook from her mother she noticed something that had not appeared before on her mother's head.
Miki Hyoudo Housewife lv 6
When he noticed the words above her mother's head he was a little surprised, but then he remembered the Observe skill.
- (Shit I completely forgot to review that "sigh" skill, I'll have to see it later).
Several minutes later.
He had already finished cooking with his mother who congratulated him on his effort.
At this moment both of them were eating together while talking.
- So Issei, why did you want to learn to cook? Do you want to impress some girl?
- Uh? cough cough uhg... wh-what are you saying mom!! I don't want to impress anyone!!!
- Oh is that so son? It is rare for a boy to learn to cook unless he wants to be a chef or wants to impress a girl.
- Uhg well well I want to learn to cook to get the attention of girls.
He could feel his face turning red from the embarrassment of admitting his motivation.
- Hahaha oh son you are so cute, I'm sure you can get some girl's attention.
- Thank you mom.
A small smile began to form on his face and that's how I followed his lunch.
Issei's room.
Once in his room he sat in front of her computer and turned it on while he reviewed the notifications he had received.
...
[Due to his effort in cooking Dex +1]
[Congratulations, thanks to the repetition of an action, a skill was created]
[Basic Cooking (Passive) lv 1: You are a novice in cooking but you strive to learn. It is said that food is one of the best ways to reach someone's heart, following this saying you want to learn how to cook for a girl or several girls that you consider special.
Increases the chance of successfully creating a dish by 1%
Increases cooking speed by 1%
Improve the flavor of everything you prepare by 1%
When you cook for a loved one or a girl, increase the flavor of everything you prepare by 1%]
...
- Well who would say that cooking would improve Dex but I suppose it is normal with the precision that you must use your hands to cook.
Discarding the screen I would look for the Observe skill, wanting to know what it was doing.
...
[Observe (Passive/Active) lv 1: This skill allows you to analyze everything around you: people, objects, animals, or plants. At low levels you will only get a simple description, when you have a high level you will be able to see statistics of your rivals, it allows you to see the names, titles and level of beings passively.]
...
- Oh this is an incredible skill I will definitely level it up after all information is also power.
- Speaking of information, let's see if my hypotheses were correct.
Looking at your computer screen you would start searching about the rules of chess.
He knew he could improve his physical stats by doing specific actions, so for his intellectual stats he should learn new things, in his opinion the more difficult the better.
As such, he believed that chess would improve his Int due to new knowledge of complicated tactics and strategies, while performing strategies to improve his Wis.
And as I thought, in fact, when memorizing all the rules and various strategies, his Int had increased by 1.
Wanting to test his other hypothesis he started playing online chess against a computer and after a game even though he had actually lost his Wis increased by 1.
- Hahaha perfect, my preparations start now.
He knew very well that he was too weak to enter a dungeon at this time as such he wanted to improve his statistics and planned to improve his mind so that he could form strategies more easily.
But when he finished playing his second game of chess, a screen appeared in front of his face.
...
Ding...
[Due to a repetitive action he has created the skill "Novice Strategist"]
[Novice Strategist (Passive) lv 1: You are a complete novice at creating strategies, keep working hard and one day you could be an official strategist.
Improves the chances of creating a successful strategy by 1%
Increase your Wis by 1]
...
He didn't know why but he felt that that description was meant to insult him.
- "Sigh" doesn't matter for now I need to take advantage and level up this skill, it will be very useful when I enter a dungeon.
And so he spent most of the day from learning new tactics in chess which gave him 1 more point in his Int and playing several games testing each new tactic he learned which in the end gave him 2 points in Wis.
He was playing 2 games per hour, eventually playing 6 hours which gave a total of 12 games and this helped a lot to raise his Novice Strategist skill.
He was feeling somewhat proud of himself in the last game he had managed to beat the bot, which gave him more experience for his skill.
...
Novice Strategist (Passive) lv 3 (90/300): You are a complete novice at creating strategies, keep trying and one day you will be an official strategist.
Improves the chances of creating a successful strategy by 3%
Increase your Wis by 3
...
He was quite happy with his improvement and when he was about to continue playing his mother called him.
- Issei come help me with the food!!
When he heard his mother, he got up and went quickly to the kitchen, but halfway there he felt a slight headache.
- Uhg I think it was too much for my mind, "sigh" I'm still not used to it, I'll have to go a little slower, and plan my schedules better.
After a few moments he recovered and went with his mother starting to cook together.
3 hours later.
Without realizing it, he only enjoyed his time with his mother. He had never done many things with his mother after reaching adolescence and he felt very happy with the union they were having together.
They had barely finished cooking, his father came home from work, and when he saw his son cooking, he was in shock for several minutes.
When he composed himself he was happy to see a change in his son who would usually be in his room reading eroge magazines.
After a nice family dinner his parents had gone to his room while Issei went to his.
Once in his room he started searching online for basic workouts that he could do at home.
He knew that he had to improve his physique or else no matter how many strategies he made it would be of no use.
So he spent an hour between researching and performing the basic exercises, which gave him a new skill and a point in Vit, 2 points in Sta and 1 in dex.
...
Basic physical training (Passive) lv 1: The training will strengthen your muscles, making them stronger and denser but at the same time compact.
Increases Vit, Sta, Dex by 1%
...
He had also leveled up his Basic Cooking skill and gained a point in Dex.
...
Basic Cooking (Passive) lv 3 (200/300): You are a novice in cooking but you strive to learn. It is said that food is one of the best ways to reach someone's heart, following this saying you want to learn how to cook for a girl or several girls that you consider special.
Increases the chance of successfully creating a dish by 3%
Increases cooking speed by 3%
Improve the flavor of everything you prepare by 3%
When you cook for a loved one or a girl, increase the flavor of everything you prepare by 3%
...
Noticing that it was already 11 at night, he did his last training, which was to use his Create/Escape ID skill until he spent all his MP to level up this skill, and at the same time he would use Observe on everything around him.
And so 10 minutes passed in which he had spent all of his MP, leaving him very tired, which consequently made him fall asleep in his bed.
Here begins the beginning of the training of our favorite chestnut, but he will be eager to return to these simple trainings compared to what he will have to go through in the future...
Note: Good morning/afternoon/night everyone, I hope you enjoy the chapter, the truth is that it was longer than I expected but I think it was very good in my opinion but I would like to know your opinions, in the next chapter you will be able to see progress In the relationship with Koneko the end of the training and if it does not extend too much the chapter will begin its first foray into the zombie dungeon.
(your gift)
He disappears in a puff of smoke and crimson leaves.
