Chapter 5 I think I can spend from this place!

"Hm, so that's it..." Nero nodded in understanding and clicked on the subclass, Shadow Wizard.

"Oh, that's really intriguing! Basically, my Hybrid class comes as two subclasses. Apparently, they're good, but I can't test them without unlocking them."

After closing all translucent floating screens, Nero looked surprised at his previously injured arm as no sign of the injury could be found.

"But after all, this hybrid class's benefits only involve improving my status?" Nero sighed and continued, "I don't see or feel anything different than my increased status."

"Hrm, I can see a nearby city on the map, but I can't be happy about it. I don't know whether they would be prejudiced about me having wings, or do I know if I could understand their language as well," Nero reflected.

"Dredge, why couldn't I even inherit the memories of the former owner of this body?" Nero complained in his mind, "If only I had the former body owner's memories, I wouldn't be so lost now."

Nero then shook his head. He knew that this line of thought was something illogical, but he couldn't help but want to know more about this world.

In the end, his only clue to everything was his current body, but unfortunately, he failed to inherit the owner's memories.

"The best way is to level up and then try to gather more information. I can't just stay here without trying to better understand my current situation."

Although Nero couldn't understand how he ended up in this situation, he knew that his options were few, so he could only grit his teeth and level up for now.

"Well, at least I'm not walking around naked anymore." Nero thought, grateful for this mission that gave him clothes, although he found it a little strange and uncomfortable to walk without underwear.

"But if I'm going to wear underwear, should I still wear panties?" Nero shook his head, removing that line of thought out of his head.

In the dim moonlight, Nero walked cautiously. Although he was also curious about the body and wanted to learn to use her, he thought that if he increased the level, it would be easier to learn.

"Now that I think about it, I also got some items by killing these monsters, right?" Nero thought about it and opening his inventory.

In his inventory, he could see the following things: 1 thin stalk (Rank F); low quality, 8 sticky mucus (Rank F); low quality, and 4 green grass (Rank F); low quality. He had also collected 227 essence coins.

"Urgh, I'm hungry!" Nero grumbled when he heard his stomach growl. In the end, he could only use the system to look through the plants and fruits to find something palatable.

"First of all, I want to see what this inventory stuff is for." Nero murmured as he moved his hand towards the green grass. Upon holding the green grass in his left hand, he could see its information.

_____________________________________________

Item: [Green Grass] 

F rank; low quality.

A medicinal herb that medicates poison.

Use: Has the ability to detoxify / possesses medicinal properties (Rank F).

_____________________________________________

"Oh, this will be useful if I poison myself... Well, let me see what the other two looks like." Nero took his hand to the other slot where the thin stalk was. Taking it with his free hand, he saw its details.

_____________________________________________

Item: [Think Stalk]

F rank; low quality.

The thin stem of a plant.

Use: Has medicinal properties (Rank F).

_____________________________________________ 

"In the end, it's something to make medicine." Nero had no knowledge of this world, so he didn't think much about it. After putting it back in the inventory, Nero, with disgust, used his hand to get some of the sticky mucus.

_____________________________________________

Item: [Sticky Mucus] 

F rank; low quality.

Mysterious sticky liquid.

Use: Has medicinal properties (Rank F).

_____________________________________________  

"In the end, it's another item to make medicine, but what kind of medicine is made with this disgusting thing?" Nero shook his head and put it back in inventory.

After looking at all the information on the items, Nero tried to pick up the Essence Currency. It was easier than he imagined. The moment his hand approached the inventory slot, as if the system knew his intention, a new screen requested him to choose the amount he wanted to take.

And apparently, he could take a coin worth 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100. Taking only one Essence Coin, he glanced through the information.

_____________________________________________

Item: [Essence Currency] - One Essence.

Natural Energy Essence Mineral.

Usage: Currency used in the Planet Lumina / Used as power source.

_____________________________________________

Nero was surprised by the information. But it was not for long, since he had been exposed to many surprising things today. Not wanting to waste time, he continued to walk through Beginner's Forest.

Although Nero observed a lot of level one monsters, he chose not to attack because it wouldn't increase his status much, much less increase his level. Moreover, the time it took him to kill them was not very different from the time it took him to kill a level 2. Only a level 3 one would take a little longer.

"Hrm, I still don't know how different it's going to be now that I've leveled up. Logically speaking, I should be able to kill monsters more easily now that I've increased my status."

Nero murmured while still walking. Although the level up had greatly increased his status, he still wanted to maintain his safety. So, he continued to pick up rocks from the ground and kept them in his inventory.

Nero immediately spotted a target. It was a level 2 Pink Slime monster. Nero took a stone from his inventory and shot it in the direction of Pink Slime.

_____________________________________________

You've defeated the Plant Monster: [Pink Slime] Rank F: Level 2!

_____________________________________________

"Oh, it's so easy!" Nero exclaimed in his mind as he looked at the window that appeared intimating that the Pink Slime was dead.

Approaching Pink Slime's body, he touched the Pink Slime which was incredibly unpleasant and good to touch simultaneously.

_____________________________________________

Would you like to loot the Monster Plant: [Pink Slime] Rank F: Level 2?

_____________________________________________

"Yes."

The Pink Slime turned into mist and went toward Nero's body.

_____________________________________________

[Sticky Mucus - Rank F - Poor quality] has been added to your inventory.

20 [Essence Currency] has been added to your inventory.

"Urgh! This sticky mucus drop..." Nero grunted.

Opening the inventory, he took the monster core out.

_____________________________________________

_____________________________________________

"Yes."

_____________________________________________

"Hmm, this feeling of increased strength is very blissful!" Nero said to himself, "I think I can spend some time in this place."
