“Daishi-san! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Satsuki-chan, who rushed forward, reached me in a small sprint. Once close, she began inspecting and lightly touching me, checking my physical and mental state.
I wasn’t injured at all.
Hmm? Isn’t she… a little too thorough?
Hey! That’s ticklish!
“I’m a little tired, but I’m fine! Wait, I just leveled up and I’m checking my stats—give me a moment.”
I gently pushed Satsuki-chan back and returned to examining my status screen.
I couldn’t help but be curious about the new skill I had just learned and the massive surge of Burial Power.
I wanted to see what came next—now.
| ――――――――――― Name: Daishi Ajiri Class: Cleric Level: 10(+2) HP: 100 / 140(+40) MP: 90 / 150(+50) Strength: 34(+4) Endurance: 14(+6) Agility: 9(+3) Intelligence: 24 (+8) Burial Power: 999(+1998) [1998] Skills: 【Burial Fist (LV1)】 New 【Retribution (LV1)】 【Requiem (LV1)】 【Return (LV2)】 【Cremation (LV2)】 【Clairvoyance (LV3)】 ――――――――――― |
I hadn’t defeated the Nether Dragon King, but at least I earned experience. My level had gone up by two, and the new skill I’d learned was [Burial Fist].
Fist… wait. Is this—physical?
I better check the description.
【Burial Fist】: Delivers the hammer of heaven to the target with a burial strike.
Yep. Definitely physical.
Judging by the name and description, this skill probably scales with both Strength and Burial Power.
If that’s the case… well, then my path forward is obvious. I’ve always admired muscle, after all. My stat allocation plan practically wrote itself.
No time to waste—let’s get to the main event: distributing my stats.
| ――――――――――― Surplus Burial Points: 1998 HP: 100 (0) [－＋] Max HP: 140 (0) [－＋] MP: 90 (0) [－＋] Max MP: 150 (0) [－＋] Strength: 34 (0) [－＋] Endurance: 14 (0) [－＋] Agility: 9 (0) [－＋] Intelligence: 24 (0) [－＋] ――――――――――― |
With practiced hands, I opened the stat allocation screen.
Hmm… the interface hadn’t changed since last time.
But this time, with 1998 excess points, my excitement was off the charts.
Alright! Let’s do this…
Move this here… and like this… perfect!
| ――――――――――― Surplus Burial Points: 0 HP: 100 (0) [－＋] Max HP: 350 (＋210) [－＋] MP: 200 (＋110) [－＋] Max MP: 200 (＋50) [－＋] Strength: 999 (＋965) [－＋] Endurance: 400 (＋386) [－＋] Agility: 180 (＋171) [－＋] Intelligence: 130 (＋106) [－＋] ――――――――――― |
I slammed the confirm button.
Yes! I am ridiculously strong now!
I can’t wait for the next battle!
Comments exploded in the chat:
> Hey Mister, why are you enjoying this alone?!
> You were just leveling stats, weren’t you?
> Consult us first!
> You didn’t invest in current HP, did you?
> Balance is important—BALANCE!
> No, defense should come first.
> With your skills, do you even need Strength?
> You at least maxed your Max HP, right?
> Can you explain quickly already?!
Viewers’ various ideas on how to allocate stats are flying around in the comments section. Some even suggested I didn’t need Strength at all.
“I maxed Strength. It seems perfect for the new skill I just learned.”
I replied, explaining my stats and skills to the camera as usual.
Meanwhile, the comment section kept buzzing with opinions. My eyes were already starting to hurt, so I decided to take a short break from reading them.
“Looks like things have gotten even weirder again, huh, Daishi-san…”
“I wonder… what’s going to happen to me now…”
“Who knows…”
“Um, excuse me!”
As Satsuki-chan and I exchanged awkward smiles, Mina-san, the late-arriving member of the SS-class adventurer party, cut into our conversation.
She probably felt fine after Satsuki-chan healed her.
Mina-san looked energetic and unharmed.
“Oh, um… Mina-san, right?”
“Huh? How did you…? Oh! The viewers told you, didn’t they?”
“Sorry about that. My viewers seem to know everything. But what about your companions?”
“My brothers? Don’t worry—I healed them properly. They just exhausted themselves a bit too much, so they’re still resting over there.”
Mina-san lightly gestured behind her.
Sure enough, Slay and Jan—her brothers—were sleeping peacefully.
…Wait, they’re siblings?
Forming a party from the same bloodline and climbing to SS-class? That’s insane. Elite lineage for sure. A little enviable.
“Thank you so much for saving us back there! But…”
Mina-san’s gaze turned sharp, locking onto me directly as she spoke, even while offering thanks.
I couldn’t tell exactly how much of my fight she had witnessed, but I was certain she knew something unusual had happened. Her stare made that meaning clear.
I met her gaze in return.
And… wow. This Mina girl… she’s stunning. Different from Satsuki-chan’s type, she’s a more classic beauty. Her nose line is sharp and elegant, leaving a strong impression.
“I watched part of your fight. I’ve also heard the circumstances from Satsuki. There’s a lot I could say… but—”
Mina-san’s words carried weight, even in their subtlety.
No matter how beautiful she is, she’s a SS-class adventurer, and every syllable she spoke radiated power. I had no idea what she was about to say though.“For now, just one question: Ajiri Daishi… are you really human?”
