After jumping out of the window in inn Mesties' room, Nya Nu was activating camouflage magic. He had cast a spell, and after that, his body had disappeared in thin air.
The ordinary humans, who were outside the inn, had no way of seeing him.
The weird thing was, he felt a strange feeling when he left the inn.
Was it a feeling of curiosity? Excited? Or some other feeling? He didn't understand what he was feeling either.
He was a Lich who had been living in a secluded cave inside the Fog Dungeon for his entire life.
So, it was not strange that he was experiencing the turmoil of unfamiliar feelings because, for the first time, he was about to experience the atmosphere in the human town.
Previously, he would not even have thought of seeing the human world. But after the contract that bound his soul vanished, he now seemed to have opened his eyes that had been closed.
He can now look at the world as he wishes.
When he was engrossed in the new feelings he felt, he forgot that he had been under contract with Mesties.
He wanted to complain, but he quickly changed his mind.
If you think about it once or many more times, hadn't the Mesties saved Nya Nu from the shackles of the devil? Just allowing Nya Nu to feel new feelings was already a blessing.
That's what Nya Nu thought too.
Unlike the contract that bound his soul before, where his mind was restrained without him realizing it, now, the bond he had with Mesties felt more refreshing.
"Hehe... Master..."
A strange laugh escaped from his oral cavity.
Fortunately, he was using camouflage magic, so even if there were humans around him who heard the sound of his strange laughter, they would only think that it was the voice of a ghost.
While continuing to use his camouflage skill, he walked around the crowd.
He scanned every activity performed by the humans. Starting from ordinary pedestrians, someone buying something, or people working in the morning like this.
Without realizing it, he studied everything he saw. His curiosity also increased.
'Oops! I need to focus on the orders given by my Master.'
He managed to get rid of the unnecessary things from his head, and he continued the mission he received from Mesties.
A mission to find information.
It wasn't hard to track down rumors of kidnapped children. While walking, he heard someone say, "I heard that the child of the family over there hasn't been seen in a few days. Is their child missing?"
And then, Nya Nu visited the place that people were referring to. He continued his search. It only took him a short while to get outside the city.
The place he was in was a forest.
According to what he investigated, the missing children were last seen entering this forest.
"Is this the place?"
He continued to trace the footprints which were still left in the forest. Although the footprints were heavily camouflaged, he was still able to see them.
A few moments later, he arrived in front of a cave that was large, dark, and full of a terrifying aura.
As he looked at the cave, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic. It's just that he chose to move on from the past as a hikikomori, so he eliminated those nostalgic feelings.
He entered the cave. Just as he had already stepped a few meters into the cave, he couldn't help but be surprised.
***
~ Meanwhile, inside the inn where the Mesties were staying ~
"Sir, are you inside? Is everything alright?"
Knock, knock, knock!
It was like I heard a knock on the door.
There was also a polite voice that I could faintly hear from behind the door.
But I was too lazy to pay attention to that.
I prefer to continue my sleep.
"Sir, if you're inside, please answer!"
The voice of the person knocking on the door became clearer and clearer in my ears. However, I just tossed and turned on the bed.
Suddenly, a different voice came.
"Sir, you'll disturb the other guests if you keep doing that. Just ignore that person."
"I want to ignore him too. But the guest in this room is almost at the limit of his stay. How can I let him stay without paying first."
After the person who had knocked on the door and tried to wake me up spoke, it seemed that the person had received a complaint from a guest in another room.
After a while, I didn't hear any more sounds. I could only guess that the person I thought was the innkeeper had given up.
Without any more interruptions, I continued sleeping.
Slam!
The sound of the door banging fully woke me up.
When I raised my body like I'd been struck by lightning, I saw that the door to the room was wide open.
The innkeeper, who had broken down the door, started lecturing me.
Chit chat chit chat~
I didn't listen carefully to his voice.
While rubbing my ears, I threw money at him.
After he saw the silver coins scattered on the floor, the innkeeper immediately shut up. He was leaving while slowly closing the door with his head down.
"Have a good rest, sir?"
He left with a big smile on his lips. The annoyed look he had before seemed to be a mere affectation.
While rubbing the back of my head, I looked outside the room. And it turned out that the sun was already shining above the sky.
If I was not mistaken, I fell asleep at dawn. But seeing that the innkeeper forcibly woke me up, there was no way I had only slept for a few hours. I probably slept for a whole day, in other words, more than 24 hours.
It was only natural because I had been too tired before.
Do you know how sleepy a person gets when they haven't slept for two or three days? That's how I felt before, and so, I finally fell into a deep sleep.
I lay alone on the bed.
Honestly, I had been very sleepy.
I wanted to fall asleep again.
My eyes felt so heavy. However, the system message suddenly came, making me get up lazily.
Fortunately, the content in the system message was something I was happy about, so my sleepiness had disappeared into the clouds.
[Congratulations, you have completed the Fier mountain Investigation Quest.]
[Would you like to receive your reward?]
"Yes."
[Calculates the usage of your base stats during the Quest.]
[Congratulations, you have successfully completed each stage of the Fier Mountain Investigation Quest.]
[The reward will be increased.]
[Strength successfully increased by one level.]
The source of this content is no/vel//bin[./]net'
[Strenght changed from C to B.]
[Endurance successfully increased by one level.]
[Endurance changed from C to B.]
[Agility successfully increased by two levels.]
[Agility changed from F to D.]
[Reflex success increased by two levels.]
[Reflex changed from F to D.]
I felt the changes in my body noticeably. This is greater than the improvement I previously felt.
I felt that the muscle fibers in every part of my body were being pulled and blended together. Like cake batter, the more it is mixed together, the more resilient and hard it becomes.
"Ugh!"
Of course, it hurts. But not as painful as when I had Body Reconstruction.
While some sweat was still dripping from my forehead, moments later, the grand prize finally came out.
[Since you successfully completed all stages of the Quest, you are eligible to receive the grand prize.]
[Congratulations, you received the Skill Appraisal.]
[Detect the similarity of the analysis function owned by the system with the Appraisal skill.]
[Do you want to combine them?]
If they have the same function, wouldn't it be better to have just one?
"Yes."
[The process of combining the analysis function with the appraisal skill begins.]
[....]
[Combining finishes.]
[Congratulations, you got Skill Judgement.]
[Skill name: Judgement.
Description: In addition to the analysis function, this Skill allows you to make effective decisions in any situation].
The skill description was quite ambiguous.
So, the skill that was originally specialized in assessing an object or whatever, has become a skill that will help me make decisions?
That's fine. There's no point in complaining.
[Skill Inventory - Activate.]
I took out a wooden box from the Inventory. The wooden box was small. It was only about 25 centimeters. About the size of a handheld.
This was the wooden box that I had previously found inside the cave where Nya Nu was.
At that time, I had finished putting all the Magic Crystals that I could put into the Inventory. I don't know if it was because I was too excited or what, but I put in pebbles and stones as well.
Among the items that I had accidentally put in, I found this object.
I asked Nya Nu if he knew what this was. But Nya Nu didn't even know that there was something like this in the cave where he had been for so many years.
I opened the wooden box
I chose to try the Judgement skill on this thing.
[Skill Judgement - Activate.]
Apart from the item information that appeared after I used the Judgement skill ....
What was the fundamental difference in the Judgement skill compared to the previous system analysis function was... I had a feeling that I had to keep this item no matter what.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
