Let’s get back in time a little bit, approximately two days after the defeat of the “Gravekeeper Wezaemon”.
I finished the battle with the Gravekeeper Wezaemon and went back to Rabbitz. I then went to bed and woke up in the real world, where the next day already started. Also, waking up was accompanied by a rather peculiar feeling.
「Food…… Moisture…… Ooohhh……」
I am used to prolong sessions of gaming, but my body was having trouble keeping up with my mind after being asleep for almost a whole day. Right now I was like a horror game zombie (moving mindlessly without any indication of intelligence), staggering on my feet I arrive at the refrigerator, and thanks to the glass of milk and a sweet bread I quickly cut the emergency call that my body was sending me.
「I don’t think I want to drink energy drinks for a while. Like, a really long while……」
After robbing the refrigerator of its contents for another five minutes and catching some sun for a while, I log into ShanFro again. I think that it was a terrible day rhythm to follow, but right now I was completely absorbed in it.
「Sanraku-san! Good morning, Sanraku-san!」
「Nhh…… Morning.」
Now then, yesterday I was too tired to do this, but maybe I should check my status to see what changed? I opened up the status screen…… and couldn’t help but to smile unconsciously.
「Fufufu…… Talk about Leveling up nicely.」

My level went up by twenty five. And just from that fact alone, I had WAY too many skill points to distribute. Were they some bonus points for leveling up? Or was that a bonus for defeating the Unique Monster…… But honestly speaking, I don’t want to fight a monster like that ever again if I can help it.
Aside from skill points, I can see that some of my skills also leveled up and changed, so I was really excited to go to the Gardener later and see what I would be able to do with that. All those things were putting a smile on my face.
「Not only loot, but skill points and skills as well…… Fufufu…… Fufufufufufu……!」
「Sanraku-san, your smile is starting to creep me out……」
「It’s not creepy at all. It’s beautiful, because I’m honest with myself when it comes to my desires. Maybe.」
「That is as legit as a Hydra that claims it is now a vegetarian.」
「Does that mean that maybe I’m evil to the bone? Or on a molecular level?」
Then I proceed to check my item list. Sure enough, there were some new additions to it. First, let’s take a look at the “Secret Art of the Dragon Pillar”.
· “Secret Art of Dragon Pillar”
A storage device left by the swordsman from the era of the Gods, describing the secrets of his secret sword techniques. Needs a special item to decode the secrets stored within.
A sword art that pierces the heavens, cuts the earth, and banishes the clouds away.
「Really? Or maybe there is a way for the player to use that without having to decode it first?」
Seriously, no, really, seriously? I can use many of the crazy sounding skills no problem. However, this item that was labeled as a book (or tome or whatever) looked like a cube that was glowing with bluish light and looked like a really advanced piece of tech. Is it going to be explained why it is like that once I’ll be able to decipher its contents?
「Next is the “Book of the World Truth: “Gravekeeper Wezaemon”…… Ah, so it’s like a lore behind the boss or something like that?」
But rather than a novel or a story book it seemed to be more like a strategy guide to fight the boss and listing his backstory. In other words, they are only handing it to me now, after I fought so desperately to defeat him? But perhaps it is just a mere bonus, since Unique Monsters do not respawn.
「Well, I can read it if I have some time to spare…… Fufufu, oh, how I love things like that……」
Now, onto the details of the item that seemed to be a whole lot more important, the “Inventory” accessory.
· Inventory
