Chapter 8: Darkness and Light

Chapter 8's

✓Darkness then Light

After 1 hour, I finally managed to regain my composure.

The cruel figure of the ape was still burning in my mind.

But I can't get stuck on one thing all the time. I have no choice but to think about what to do from now on.

The only way to surrender in this world is to die.

“...Is there anything I can do with 19 points?” (Mari)

19 Points is by no means a low number, but this after seeing the monkey, so it reinforces this feeling of deprivation. I most likely need to manage this enough to get out of this forest. One wrong move and no doubt it will be over soon.

I definitely don't want my arms and legs torn and eaten alive.

“Will the giant monkey return? If this place is the territory of the creature, it must be looking for me..” (Hikaru).

When this barrier runs out, I have to walk again.

When that happens, there's a good chance I'll meet that monkey again.

Do I have to fight? Or is there another method I can take?

Killing a giant monkey is impossible. I can say that for sure.

If I pour all my 19 points into things like scrolls or attacking magic items, there might be a chance; that far.

My only goal here is to get out of this forest.

I can't forget that.

The remaining barrier time is displayed on the board and tells me that there are 9 hours left.

It's noon, so it'll be over at night. I have to think about how to get through the night too.

“...However, the audience increased drastically there. Is there really anyone watching this?” (Mari)

My eyes stopped on the count of real-time viewers.

The number of viewers changes every second, but the current number of viewers is 116,320,000 people.

Thinking about 2 million not too long ago, this was one of abnormal explosive growth.

If we consider the fact that there are many Chosen who have received attention from far before, this is definitely the effect of Random Transfers. That is, being the target of early laughter at the beginning is not just for the ironic – show it sounds.

People on Earth must have seen me survive here from their TV, smartphone or computer all casually while eating snacks.

But if I hadn't come here, I would have done the same.

What's wrong here is the God that set us up.

There are many logs in the Status Board, but in the log the number of viewers it is displayed as [X the number of viewers reached].

I got a Crystal gift from it.

I said that, but it's not physical, they're more like points.

I can exchange 30 Crystals for 1 Point, so you can even refer to them as fragment points.

By the way, I currently have 2 Crystals.

[Daily Audience Count of 100,000,000 reached] and [First Meeting with the Monsters].

The first milestone to get 1 Crystal to 100,000,000 viewers felt like a very harsh arrangement, but I would take whatever I could get.

There are many ways to use crystals.

First, you can exchange them for many different items.

For example; you can trade 1 Crystal for a beginner potion. Also small items such as pocket wipes, toilet paper, sandwiches, water, wooden swords, cotton wrapping cloth, scrap paper, pencil, and so on... You can exchange quite small items.

Right now I'm not hungry because of the mental tension I'm experiencing right now, but most likely I will trade it for sandwiches and water in the end. In that case, you could say Crystals are important.

If you use 3 Crystals, you can exchange them for recovery potions of physical strength, stamina, and spirit energy.

A set of flip charts can also be exchanged. Maybe for those times when Chosen wants to tell viewers something with writing?

If you use 5 Crystals, you can get intermediate potions, tools, equipment, and many different things.

All of that will be necessary someday, so I really can't waste it.

"There's no choice but to use it now." (Mari)

Crystals can be exchanged for other things that are not physical as well.

You can get information about the monsters you encountered, [Monster Assessment].

you can get information about what you hold, [Good Assessment].

And, you can get the information to survive, [Living Guide].

Of course, what I have to take here is the last one. I am indeed interested in the Monster Assessment, but let's keep it when I can survive.

I might have 2, but even 1 Crystal is precious.

30 Crystals to 1 Point, if you reverse them, it means that you will not be able to increase your points unless you store Crystals.

But now I want a clue to survival.

I pressed the [Hint] button.

<>

When I pressed Yes, a hint appeared immediately after that.

<>

“Eh... H-Only this?” (Mari)

It's too fuzzy. Really a clue.

It might even tell me random things because I can't survive.

But it is also true that I have nothing more to rely on.

"With darkness, is this talking about moving at night?" (Mari)

One would usually think that it was more dangerous at night, but I could use Night Vision.

Akh won't be able to tell how well I'll be able to see until night really comes, but most likely it's good enough for me to walk at night.

If I could walk safely at night, I would confine myself during the day with as many obstructions as my points allowed, and cover the distance at night…

“Maybe the monsters in this forest are inactive at night..?” (Mari)

I know almost nothing about this world. Probably not many nocturnal creatures.

Or rather, just how much of a fused in the darkness should I do from the clue? At the very least, it would be more natural to take this as telling me that the night is safer.

“...But if that's the case, I feel it would be better to say it as ‘act in the evening’.” (Mari)

It does not say night but darkness.

Now that I think about it, it reminds me of something.

I opened the Spirit Ability tab of the Status Board.

All Spirit Abilities cost 10 Points.

This is a very heavy number for someone with 19 Points.

As I suppressed the Dark Spirit Ability, an explanation appeared.

[It has little direct attack capability, and consists mostly of support capabilities].

"Hm ..." (Mari)

Sounds like Black Magic.

I thought there should be a 'way to blend in with the darkness'... .

It said there were a lot of support abilities, so things like covering the target in the dark did sound like something that suited my current situation.

(Also...I have Liked by the Spirit.) (Mari)

I don't know the effect.

But thinking about it normally, it should be Buff for the use of spirit magic. I was thinking of getting magic in the end, so I had to take this positively and just take it as I took it sooner rather than later.

“...Well, now that I've come this far, I just have to do it.” (Mari)

To be honest, I am currently quite finished to be here.

If I continue to break the Barrier Stone without using my Points elsewhere, my Points will reach zero in an instant.

When that happens, I won't be able to do anything.

I have to do what I can here.

[Will you spend 10 Points to obtain the Dark Spirit Ability? YES NO]

I finished it myself and pressed the Yes button.

[You have obtained the Dark Spirit Ability. Please confirm the information regarding Spirit Ability on the Status Board].

The system notification resonated in my mind.

After obtaining it, I understood what Spirit Ability was.No, my body understood it as if it knew it from the beginning.

The Spirit ability can summon many Spirits that exist in the world, and by using myself as an intermediary, you can activate the abilities of the corresponding elements.

When I opened the Status Board, the [Contract Spirit: Darkness] entry was added.

I can't seem to get more than one Spirit Ability, so as long as I don't revoke the contract (don't know if it's possible), I will live together with the Dark Spirit forever…

A new entry for the Dark Spirit Ability had been created, so I tapped on it.

[Dark Spirit Ability]

Level 1 Capability

Revelation of Darkness [Dark Fog] Skill 0

"Oh! Isn't this exactly 'blending in the dark'?" (Mari)

Rather than the fact that there was only one or that operated with finesse, I felt like the light of hope had shone upon me from the fact that that was what I was looking for.

It is ironic that it was the light of my hope even though this was darkness, but I can now see a single ray of hope coming out of this forest.

I don't understand the meaning of the Dark Revelation, but I will think about it as soon as I come out of the forest.

“Must try it. Uhm... Dark Mist!” (Mari)

I put energy in my stomach and shouted the name of his ability.

The spirits around me passed through that reactor and it kept turning into Darkness.

"Ooh ..." (Mari)

That's slow.

It really takes time. Little by little, his surroundings were covered in darkness.

Besides, the radius is only 50 cm with me as the center.

I as a user can see outside, but at the end of the fog. With this much, I felt like they could see me from the outside to a decent level. Also, the range is very small.

Was this?

The darkness disappears in about 1 minute.

This was an ability that was too unreliable to blend in the darkness and escape from this forest.

But even with that, this is the only weapon I have.

“Good if I can use the ability even inside the barrier though.” (Mari)

The barrier still has a little over 8 hours. At the very least, I can use that time to practice.

I confirmed my Status Board.

[Dark Spirit Ability]

Level 1 Capability

Revelation of Darkness [Dark Mist] Proficiency 1

“Company has increased. So it increases by 1 for each use? ” (Hikaru)

Whatever the case may be, just have to use it like crazy.

Akj also needed to understand the limits of my Spirit Energy, and I could only hope that increasing proficiency would increase its range and duration of effectiveness.

“[Dark Mist].”

“[Dark Mist].”

“[Dark Mist].”

I also tried to stack it, but it didn't look effective.

It seems like it would be better for me to aim for the increase in strength from a single use.

I don't know if the effect [Liked by the Spirit]Liked by the Spirit works.

Have no problem with activating the ability possible thanks to [Liked by Spirit]~. It sounds reasonable that just trying to use the ability alone is already difficult for those who do not have affection.

“...If someone has [Liked by the Spirit], are you also loved by the energy needed to use his abilities? I can't tell myself ... "(Mara)

But every time I use Spirit Ability, I feel the feedback from borrowing the power from Spirit.

This feedback might be proportional to the amount of Spirit Energy used.

"By the way, I have to test it with numbers ..." (Mari)

It's not like I have a teacher here, so there's no choice but to raise blindly.

I can use the ability myself, and I currently do not feel any fatigue from the reduction of Spirit Energy.

Since I will be walking at night, I will use the remaining 8 hours to practice.

I used 1 Point for that Barrier Stone, so I shouldn't waste a single minute.

Rest of Points: 9.
