"You gained a level"

An ecstatic Sid hurriedly looked at his system.

As Sid could not erase the stupid smile in his face, he starts pondering on how he would allocate his free points. He wants to put the free points in Agility to increase his movement and attack speed. It will also increase his evasiveness and his chance to inflict a critical strike. But putting everything in one basket will limit his own growth. He now has a farming ground to ensure his continued growth. He do not need to create advantages thru unexpected stat build. He can pursue balance growth of all his attribute since he has his own world, that will ensure his continuous gain of exp. Unlike on Earth, where his growth is controlled by the various factions.

Sid decided to add four points on Agility and two points on each of the other attributes.

As the excitement of growing strong still lingers he enters the shop to browse if there are new items available for him.

During his time as a newly awakened he tried accessing the shop, but nothing was displayed in the shop. He thought that maybe he does not meet the required level or amount of gold to access the shop. And now having gained a level and accumulating a significant amount of gold he might as well try and access the shop. He learned during his studies in the guild's library that skills, equipment and potions are available in the shop so this added excitement to Sid as he hurriedly access the shop.

He excitedly picked the Skills section. Since he knew that he is lacking in combat skills.

As he selected the skills menu, Sid could not help but be disappointed. Only one skill was available for purchase, and it is not a combat type but an auxiliary type.

Feeling disappointed he looked at the inspect skill and a description pop out.

"A visual skill, to perceive opponents' basic status" the system description read out.

As Sid looked at the description his disappointment lessens.

"I could use this." He muttered.

"Instead of blindly attacking monsters, I can now verify on which monsters are at my level." he continued.

Before finalizing his decision to purchase the skill he first decided to look at the other tabs of the shop. But disapointment is the only thing that follows. No available items can be seen on the weapons and gears tab and only small potion and small mana potion was available in the items tab, which cost 5 gold each.

He selected the inspect skill and select purchase.

"inspect skill obtained" said the robotic voice of the system.

"hehehe" he snickered. As he is back again with 2 golds in his inventory. "Money really is hard to earn but easy to use."

He looked at the meadow and spotted the mobs of slime bouncing around.

-Blue Slime- LV. 1

HP 20/20

He look at the other monsters and inspect each of them to gather information and plan his next course of action.

-Horned Rabbit - LV. 3

HP 50/50

-Goblin- LV. 5

HP 75/75

-Goblin Archer- LV. 8

HP 70/70

-Goblin Shaman- LV. 10

-Feral wolf- LV. ??

HP ?? /??

Looking at the monsters he now knows which monsters to engage and not to engage in his immediate vicinity. He knows that there are powerful monsters hidden that was not included in his initial scan of monsters such as the Giant Slime, the Alpha Feral Wolf, the Goblin Leader and the Giant Skeleton. Since the said monsters cannot be found in his line of sight but he knows present in the meadows.

"So, there is a limit on which monsters, I can inspect. It's possible that I am too low leveled to inspect strong monsters. " He thought to himself.

"Let's not overthink, I should just do things within the scope of what I can control" he thought to himself. "Let us just grind and level up" he decided.

He then proceeded on stalking the slimes. Even though he has the same level as the Horned Rabbit he opted to go for the slimes since it's easier to kill. He does not want to gamble on his life just because he gained a level. It's better to kill hundreds of slime monsters and be safe than killing a few high-level monsters, but be injured or be killed in the process. His main focus is survival not to inflate his ego.

~SLASSSHH!!!

Numerous slashing sound and squealing slime can be heard in the meadows. From targeting solitary slimes to killing mobs of 3 to 4 slimes in one go. Sid did not rest. It was exhilarating, to be powerful is very addicting. But being powerful does not mean he should be careless. Even at level 4, he still continue to hunt the blue slimes since it is safer, but the experience points needed to level up is beginning take his grind into a slow crawl since killing the blue slime at level 4 only gives him a measly 4 experience points.

"Hmmmm. I need to change target. After level five I should start targeting the horned rabbit." He decided. "I also need to look for food since all I got from killing these stupid slimes are goos and gold."

He looked at his system.
