It''s been six months since Tsukiyomi and I went to rescue Eri and Gerard. On our way to the stronghold of the slave traders, we stumbled upon some ruins. Okay not necessarily stumbled upon more like crash into it. I

    t was a similar type of ruins that held Tsukiyomi. Seeing made me wonder if there was another Ethereal hidden within its walls. Well, long story short we defeated all of the monsters reached the end of the ruins got one piece of treasure, and was transported out. The ruins then disappeared well that''s the summary anyway.

    The treasure in question was a ring "Satt Sjon" which was what Tsukiyomi called it. It''s a relic of an ancient war. What does it do it gives the bearer the sight to see the status of an object, person, and such. It will give me an in-depth description into my mind, as long as I look at the object and want to know its status it will show it to me. I tested it out on me and Tsukiyomi. This gave me a huge shock.

    Name: (Current) Edge Regius (Former) Shun Midgar (Past) ???

    Age: (Current) 13 (Former) 20 (Past) ???

    Gender: Male Race: Human

    Strength: 10,200 Resistance: 9,000

    Agility: 8,000 Magic Resistance: 9,200

    Dexterity: 8,000 Mana: (Outer) 53,000 (Hidden) ???

    Vitality: 8,000

    Magic: 10,000

    What the heck it could even read my past life, but then what was the (Past) ???. Does that mean I have more than one past life, but the ring couldn''t read them... Also what with the (Hidden) ??? in my mana... Well, it doesn''t matter anymore, what''s in the past stays there. The current me doesn''t need to know about it. I then checked on Tsukiyomi''s stats.

    ?

    Name: Tsukiyomi (Eternal Moon)

    Age: 115

    Gender: Female Race: Ethereal

    Strength: 40,000 Resistance: 22,000

    Agility: 32,300 Magic Resistance: 22,000

    Dexterity: 35,899 Mana: none

    Vitality: 36,000

    Magic: 34,000

    What''s with this difference! When I spar with Tsukiyomi I do not feel this helpless, well obviously she''s going easy on me but I never thought it was by so much. I told her what I saw and she said

    "Never tell anyone!"

    "Tell what?"

    "My age you uncouth idiot!"

    Well I guess the path toward being the strongest wasn''t going to be that easy. I also checked my weapon''s statues.

    Name: none

    Type: Magic Sword

    Attack Power: 700

    Durability: 500

    I compared it to a stick a picked up.

    Name: none

    Type: wood

    Attack Power: 2

    Durability: 1

    ?

    After the incident in the ruins, we went to the nearby town where we gathered some information about the slave trade. We found out that Pinlang Baham had a special way to sell their slaves. Upon acquiring a slave they would train it for about a year then and only then would they sell it.

    They sell the slaves once per month. So with this information, the time limit to save Eri and Gerard will be exactly a year after their kidnapping. At first Tsukiyomi suggested that we just go in and kill the slave traders and their guards. That won''t do there is a huge risk of using the slaves as hostages. So we need to wait it out and strike at the opportune moment.

    ?

    While going back to our campsite I reviewed what I found out about Satt Sjon.

    While we were walking in the village I used status check on a lot of people. On using it I found out that if I wasn''t introduced yet the Name will always be ???. After introductions then and only then did the status change from ??? To the name of the person.

    So there are limitations to the scanning of statuses. Well this time I''ll test it on some monsters. I told Tsukiyomi what I was going to do she simply yawned and said to have fun. So it seems like I''ll be going alone.

    ?

    I finally found a monster, so I used status check.

    Name: ???

    Age: 1

    Gender: Male Race: Ogre

    Strength: 700 Resistance: 700

    Agility: 200 Magic Resistance: 100

    Dexterity: 300 Mana: 3

    Vitality: 500

    Magic: none

    I see I was jumping from tree to tree so the ogre didn''t notice me. No point in killing it so I just pass by. I looked for more monsters to analyze.

    Name: ???

    Age: 3 months

    Gender: Male Race: Wolf

    Strength: 100 Resistance: 100

    Agility: 400 Magic Resistance: 100

    Gender: Female Race: Forest worm

    Strength: 10 Resistance: 60

    Agility: 10 Magic Resistance: 400

    Dexterity: 20 Mana: 90

    Vitality: 300

    ?

    That was when I noticed the huge ass spider that I beaten once before at the forest back home. Let''s see what a B class monster status is like.

    Name: ???

    Age: 50

    Gender: Female Race: Spider Queen

    Strength: 2,000 Resistance: 5,000

    Agility: 4,000 Magic Resistance: 4,000

    Dexterity: 4,000 Mana: 900

    Vitality: 3,223

    Magic: 782

    Wow that''s really strong but compared to before I''m way stronger now so if I fought that it would probably be easier.

    ?

    I continued looking at other monsters but after a while I got bored and started heading back to the campsite. That was when I felt a huge wave of killing intent. I looked back there I saw a huge monster about three meters tall its body was bulky and muscular. It had black horns and its fur was brown. It looked like a demonic bear of some sort. Status Check

    Name: ???

    Age: 90

    Gender: Male Race: Rikon (king of the forest)

    Strength: 15,000 Resistance: 20,000

    Agility: 10,000 Magic Resistance: 16,000

    Dexterity: 10,000 Mana: 5,000

    Vitality: 17,000

    Magic: 2,000

    After looking at the stats of the monster, I decided that fighting it wouldn''t be worth it so I was about to leave when I finally noticed that I was surrounded. Because I was so excited about my new toy I wasn''t able to sense the incoming enemies. I sighed at myself as I felt dejected.

    "Damn it you monsters! After I''m done with you all, I swear I''ll cook and eat all of you just to get something out of this fight."

    Even though I said that truth is the moment I saw the stats of the monster and seeing that I was surrounded made me feel ecstatic.
