NOVEL WEB Chapter 16: Detailed Information
[Life Drain (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / MP:30]
Technique possessed by mid-level undead. This technique manipulates life force.
- The technique absorbs the target's life force and transfers it to the user in the form of HP or MP. With training, it is possible to transfer the user's life force to their allies.
While holding the 'Soul Stone' and trying to see more information about it, an option appeared in the upper right corner, just below the option to close this page.
Clicking it, he saw the Detailed Information option.
'Has this option always been there?' he wondered doubtfully.
Until then, he hadn't noticed it, and it wasn't for lack of trying.
In any case, he didn't want to delve into it since it wouldn't change anything and saw the item's information expand onto a page that overlaid the others.
[Soul Stone – Rank C]
- Effect: A crystal with dense energy equivalent to 500 MP. This item can be used in various ways, be it alchemy, item creation, or even breaking it in hand to restore 500 MP.
Moving to the next item in the inventory, he clicked on Detailed Information.
[Recovery Potion – Rank D]
- Effect: Instantly recovers 200 HP when consumed orally.
- Effect: Tastes like tomato juice.
Closing all the pages for now, he did this mainly after seeing that his clones had killed enough zombies to level up again.
- [You leveled up!]
- [Notice: Phantom Dungeon – Monsters: Level 30-50 Phantoms (Unlocked)]
Thinking for a bit, he used two Adamantine Sealing Chains on two zombies simultaneously, then his clone shot stones at the heads of these immobilized zombies. He repeated this action, almost running out of MP and then dispelled the shadow clones. Recovering a good portion of his MP.
Soon, several skill level-up notifications reached him.
- [[Precise Throw] (Active) Lv9 EXP: 62.19% / 2MP]
- [[Psychokinesis] (Active) Lv5 EXP: 12.33% / 10MP]
- [[Critical Hit] (Passive) LV4 21.89%]
- [[Throwing Mastery] (Passive) Lv8 EXP: 11.12%]
- [[Medium MP Capacity (Passive)] LV6 EXP: 40.10%]
- [[MP Regeneration (Passive)] LV6 EXP: 16.19%]
- [[Shadow Clones] (Active) Lv2 EXP: 53.76%]
'Mm, although I would like to continue, it's getting late...' He looked at the sky, which had darkened as he thought about it.
Zombie LV31
HP: [3,720/3,720]
Looking at the zombies around, he noticed that mainly the new zombies were coming at level 30+.
'This is clearly because I killed the miniboss,' he thought.
Although it was what he wanted, after all, the higher the level of the zombies, the more EXP he would receive, it was already getting late.
Using Chakra Thread manipulation, he connected to the level 31 zombie and tried to murmur 'Life Drain' in his mind.
Through the threads, a red light began to be pulled by the blue threads. In moments, he saw the zombie's life being drained while increasing his own MP.
Seeing that his MP was completely filled, he made a stone levitate and shot it at the zombie's head.
[You Gained 2,570 EXP!]
"Okay, it's time for me to head back."
When trying to cancel the dungeon, it only worked when he raised his hand into the air and said, 'Exit Dungeon!'
"CRASH!"
With glass shattering, the dungeon, which was created with the Uzushiogakure setting, began to dissolve, and soon the natural sounds of nature and the chirps of some birds echoed, along with the sea's current.
'Status.'

══════
When he arrived home, it was already 19:59.
"I'm back," he said.
In the living room, he saw his shadow clone drawing next to Kushina.
"Welcome back, Tanaka-kun."
"Oniichan, welcome - Dattebane~!"
Akane and Kushina's voices mingled.
"Go take a shower and come back," Akane looked him up and down from the kitchen and said, "Dinner is almost ready."
"Mm." Nodding, he went upstairs.
══════
Later, after taking a shower and putting on a clean set of clothes, Tanaka came downstairs.
In the living room, he sat next to Kushina.
At the end of the table, Akane looked at him.
"So, are you going to tell me what happened?"
Knowing what she was referring to, he replied, "An unexpected event occurred. Some ninjas tried to ambush us as soon as we left the village, and when we reached the coast of the Fire Country..."
"Let me guess." She asked, "You were surrounded by a group of ninjas larger than the first one, right?"
"Yes, you're right." He replied, "We were surrounded by several ninjas from Sunagakure. But, thanks to Shiori, we didn't get hurt."
She continued, "So, since it turned into an S-Rank mission, something you weren't prepared to face, as it should have been at most Rank A+ - Dattekane? Because of this, Shiori-chan must have decided with great regret to abandon the mission, am I right?"
"Mm, yes, that's right." He confirmed.
"Ugh, seriously." She said, "As I expected, things in Konoha are getting more and more complicated - Dattekane..."
At the end of her sentence, she looked at her daughter, seeming to have some thoughts that only she knew.
Kushina was only 4 years old, though she would soon turn 5, she didn't seem to understand many things about what they were discussing, but she picked up on one point.
"In this mission..." Kushina said with her bell-like soft voice and a bit of anxiety: "It was quite dangerous – Dattebane?"
"Mm, but I came back without getting hurt as promised." Releasing the chopsticks, he pinched her cute cheek with a smile.
She was thoughtful for a few seconds and smiled, showing a row of white teeth when he pulled his hand away: "Yes, you did."
══════
January 10th, Wednesday. Cloudy sky.
That morning, Tanaka woke up because of the incessant system notifications and because the shadow clones had dissipated.
The notifications were about gaining new attributes and didn't stop there. There were also notifications of improvements in some skills. A total of 7 skills.

"..."
Somehow, all the side effects of the shadow clones training all night until dawn were resolved because the beneficial effect of sleeping appeared shortly after.
From what he understood, the shadow clones deduced that, upon waking up, the attribute and skill enhancement notifications they had improved during the night would be resolved the moment the clones dissipated, as he was sleeping, which had the effect of recovering negative status.
His intention was never to have the clones train all night, but since one of them discovered that it was possible to restore MP using the Meditation skill, they opted to do so.
