NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9: Ch 9
After, saving every-one
[prompt appears life saved 11/11]
when I was just about to say "complete trial," I noticed the nurse, who had been following me, she had some rashes on her legs
"a..hm, don't look at me that way, you know, I just casually glanced at her leg"
I asked her and found, that she had a little infection, although not life-threatening or serious, but in the future could create a problem
I gave her a small oilment, and did a complete checkup on her
just to be sure,
after noticing everything was okay
I heard a voice once again
["You have completed the hidden requirement of the trial of wits"]
[life saved 12/11]
[congratulation on completing the trial, with a rating of SSS]
space around me distorted and I appear, back in the pantheon
[you are awarded trait inventory]
[please call out the name of the trait for further detail]
"Inventory" I called out
["Inventory : (Level 1) storage capacity, 5 cubic meters"]
"Inventory" I called out once again learning from my previous mistake, and not blindly trying to manifest it
a cubic space appears in front of me
to test inventory, I put all the silver stones I collected during Telekenisis training
Prompt appears, in front of me
["You have stored 4998 kg of mithril and 2 kg of orichalcum in inventory"]
["Inventory has reached its maximum capacity"]
["Please, upgrade inventory to store more things"]
orichalcum must be that golden stone that falls from that giant devil statue in the middle
but what is this mithril and orichalcum,
it seems to be an important metal,
I don't have too much knowledge of metal, after all, I am a doctor
after, everything was completed
the voice once again rang
[The next trial will be a trial of strength, to start the trial say the phrase "next trial"]
let's first test my new power, is there any other way I can use it, other than storage
I conjured the inventory
* The first test, can inventory stop incoming attacks
I brought inventory, in front of me, and used telekinesis to control one of the stones and throw it toward me
to see if inventory will block the attack
but, the moving stone passed inventory as well as passed my soul
result of the first test was,
anything will pass inventory if it's moving, at some speed
and, if I want to keep anything in inventory, it has to be stationary
*second test, can inventory be manipulated as I see fit
currently, inventory has cubic form, can I manipulate inventory to give it any shape
I tried to shape the inventory in a circle, and unexpectedly it worked
it seems I can change the shape of the inventory as I see fit
*Third test, can inventory cut any object
if you put half the object inside, and the other half outside, will inventory be able to cut the object
to experiment with this I took out a large silver stone from the inventory, and with the help of telekinesis I put half the stone inside the inventory and the other half stayed outside
after which I closed the inventory and surprisingly the stone was cut from the middle
The stone fell outside as soon as inventory was closed, while the other half was inside
well, inventory can have many functions other than storage it seems,
till now I have gained "telekinesis", and "inventory" function
I revised and practiced with telekinesis for some time,
The next trial was the "trial of strength",
which means, I would likely have to fight someone,
"let's make some tools"
--------------------------
all right, I am ready for the next trial
"next trial"
as I called out the surrounding environment once again changed and I appeared in a Colosseum like place
"Challenge the level's of the arena, the number of levels you defeat will determine your rating"
"the more opponents you defeat, the more reward you receive"
"Interesting"
"the place where I can see my limit"
suddenly an oger-like being manifested in front of me,
Kwak.....
Kwik!
I took out my handmade sword made from silver rock,
and with the help of telekinesis fired it toward the ogre
slash, with a single attack, ogre was as good as dead
[You have passed the first level]
"with this trial was passed, but for better reward let's fight more"
[will you challenge the next phase of the trial]
"Challenge"
[you are challenging the next phase]
[next phase will begin in 10 sec]
after that rounds 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 were as if Breeze
there were just a random monster popping out and getting cut by my sword
if I had my emotions inside me write now maybe I would never be able to take someone's life
but, bad luck of this monster, I don't have emotion's
[will you challenge the next phase]
"Challenge"
suddenly a humanoid person came in the 11th trial
he was really strong, defeating him took a lot of effort and my sword was also broken in two
but before he vanished, he said something strange,
"This is my second defeat before you there was the golden devil who defeated me"
"He was really strong, he was the first opponent that stood back up no matter, how many times he was stabbed or cut"
"but you're a little different, you are... stronger."
with saying this figure vanished
"why does, anyone never completely say anything, at least give full information before vanishing
finally, 13th phase,
defeating all the opponents till now, was not difficult, but not easy either
if I didn't have telekinesis, or practiced with it before, I would never be able to even win one fight
[Would you like to challenge the 13th phase of the trial]
"Challenge"
