''Right, Lady Aurora.''

''Hm?''

''What will you do about Smiley's skill points?'' Skely looks down at the puppy walking near my legs.

''Ah, there's that too, I suppose.'' I follow Skely's gaze. ''What do you think I should do?''

Skely keeps staring at Smiley, stroking his chin.

''Normally, pet owners would try to direct their pets' skills according to their purpose, but sometimes they would also let their pets choose the skills they wanted.''

''I will leave it to Smiley, then.'' I reply.

I'm not raising him to be my weapon or anything. Besides, I'm too lazy for that. I'm honestly overwhelmed with all these game features already.

''It's this way~'' Our friendly ghost, who has gone quite far from us, waves.

Anyway, we're now on our journey to massacre some more monsters for personal gain. Talking about personal gains, aka EXP, I asked Skely about the average level of people in his era, and he said it was around ten. Level forty, and you will be considered a 'strong' person. Level fifty-five, a master, and level seventy or above are considered to be the strongest of humanity.

So I'm barely above average, which might seem lackluster, but you have to remember that it has only been a few days since I got here.

Okay, let's not get distracted further. We have arrived at the location already. Hiding goes first.

''One, two. Just as I remember.'' Ariel whispers.

In the distance is a cave. A different one from these siblings'. A quick glance at the entrance tells me that there are two tall, muscular, green-looking creatures—orcs guarding the entrance. They each have a large club in their hand as well.

[Zircon Orc Lv.13]

[Zircon Orc Lv.14]

[Skill proficiency achieved a certain level]

[Skill: Inspect Lv.1 has become Lv.2]

Oh, okay. But let's put that for later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Its skills are nothing special, 4.1 STR though, that's a problem. And [Berserk] as well.

[Berserk: Enable the user to consume their sanity for increased stats.] [Rare]

''They're all sleeping, right?''

''Yeah.''

I nod in confirmation and walk over to the pieces of wood that I've prepared for making a fire.

Let's be careful not to burn my feathers.

''Hm... It's unfortunate that I've lost my fire magic after turning into an undead.'' Skely says.

''Do you want it back, brother?'' Ariel asks.

''Probably. Though I wasn't using it that much back when I was a human anyway.''

Hmm... Maybe I should get fire magic too, even if it won't help me fight, it will be convenient, at least. But I don't know if I will ever have enough spare skill points to buy it...

''Oh, there we go.''

I toss the burning leaf into the pile and watch as the fire spreads rapidly, eventually engulfing the entire entrance.

''Well, let's go wait in the distance.''

'''' ... ''''

Sitting on a tree branch while looking at the burning cave is pretty relaxing, actually. Maybe I have the potential to become an arsonist.

''By the way, how would the experience be divided if we managed to kill them like this?'' I ask Skely, who's sitting beside me.

''I believe it would be distributed equally for all of us.''

''Why?''

''No one knows exactly.''

''Hm~''

I guess that's fine.

[You have defeated a Lv.14 Zircon Orc]

''Oh, it's working~!'' Ariel flies around excitedly.

[You have defeated a Lv.12 Zircon Orc]

[You have defeated a Lv.15 Zircon Orc]

Fourteen...

[You have defeated a Lv.11 Zircon Orc]

Fifteen.

''That's all of them, except for the commander.'' Ariel smiles contently.

Being an arsonist proved to be extremely efficient. I and Skely went up by one level each, while the other two went up by two.

''Now, the question is, what happened to the commander-''

ROARR

Suddenly, a huge figure engulfed in flame jumps out of the cave, accompanied by a piercing scream. After the fire dies down, I can see that it has copper brown skin, a bald head, bulging muscles, and strangely, a long Katana hanging at its waist. No doubt, that is the orc commander.

''Alright, it's time to start the hunt.''
