The System Of Somatosensation

Chapter 6 - Mastering the Dagger

There are many things that responds to my so called system. They don't just respond on inanimate and unmoving objects, even animals are not safe. I can even learn a few skills from them.

"Gotcha!"

I grabbed the squirming squirrel that is busy eating an acorn into the tree. I was not able to properly hold the squirrel but it gave me a panel.

"Squirrel"

Status: Panicked

Occupation: None

Relationship with the host: None

Stats:

Strength: 5

Agility: 8

Endurance: 3

Intelligence: 3

Dexterity: 9

Skills:

1. Grooming Level 10 : By grooming the fur, it gives the user the ability to keep away from parasites on the body.

2.Steal Level 3: can take items away without the owner noticing. The higher the level, the lower the probability of being found and the higher probability of taking good rewards.

Indeed, squirrels are thieving animals. They have the Steal skill. I was a bit conflicted but then I decided to learn the [Steal] skill. It might help me in the future without me knowing.

"Extract [Steal]," I commanded.

"[Steal] was learned."

Before I was elated by the new skill, I was suddenly bitten by the squirrel.

"Ow!" I released the squirrel and look at my wound. Blood flow from the tiny wound and I am wounded. I got stunned but not due to wound but due to the next panel appearing after the wound appears on my hand.

"Passive skills unlocked by the host from hidden circ.u.mstances that was activated. [Auto-Recovery] was learned."

Wow, who would have thought being bitten by a squirrel would result me to a new skill. I check it on what it really do.

"Auto-Recovery"

Level: 1

Type: Passive

Mana Cost : 0

Description: Recovers automatically from wounds. Although it can't automatically recover any wounds, its better if you want to get healthier from the wound as soon as possible.

Wow, for some reason, I feel like this system is getting better and better as time goes by. I think getting enough money later would be going to be easy.

My sister currently bring mother to the Healers so they won't be back for a while. I can't just do nothing at all since the books that should meant me to skim longer is already imprinted in my mind.

This world is inhabited by monsters, so if I want to earn easy money, I need to hunt monsters and sell their carcass to the market. And to hunt monsters, I need to gain enough mastery to a weapon.

I got a skill from that lanky guy earlier and it was dagger mastery. Although sword skills should be more practical, we don't have sword at home but in cases of daggers, the house keep them as kitchen knives.

The daggers should belong to my father in the past and since no one will use it anymore after father died, daggers are just a commodity not being used at home and mother just decided to use it as kitchen knives.

Its still pretty early. The day is longer here than on Earth since it is twice longer, therefore, it won't be going to be nighttime. Practicing the dagger will do.

I quickly rush inside and check the kitchen knives placed in the tools section on the kitchen. I am quite short so I can't properly grab it. Therefore, I have to climb up into a chair. Ugh, I really miss my normal height.

With a bit of struggle, I managed to climb up and saw the daggers lined up. I grab the medium length one and climb down from the chair before I check the dagger that I took. The panel also helped mW determine its power.

"Swash Dagger"

Durability: 23/40

Attack: 13

Description: A normal dagger that has been used as a kitchen knife after being neglected. Its sharp but not that sharp enough. However, you can still kill monsters with it.

This is enough I guess. I don't really need a very sharp weapon to practice. Also, this dagger also came with a scabbard which is useful if I want to carry it with me.

I quickly swish and swash the dagger into the air. Somehow, I can't really imagine much of this properly. I lunge a bit into the air and repeated my actions. What I didn't expect was that after my countless of movements, a panel appeared.

"[Dagger Mastery] level up to level 2."

I was momentarily stunned before I grinned widely. My random slashing and lunging in the air managed me to level up my [Dagger Mastery].

With that, it triggered my motivation to practice more.

I spent the whole afternoon doing a few slashing motion but for some reason, the [Dagger Mastery] is still stuck to level 2. I am already exhausted and I am still not used to this body at all. Its been two hours since I have done my practices. Mother and sister would be here sooner or later.

After a few minutes of waiting, I saw mother and sister walking on the distance. I opened the gate and saw mother is crying. I look at my sister for explanation and she gestured me to go inside.

Mother locked herself to her room refusing herself to go out. I never saw mom this emotional.

"Why mom is crying?" I asked.

"We discovered that the lanky guy earlier just made up that debt thing but since he has a higher status than us, we can't refute any of his blabbering about debt that we don't have. Nobody can help us either since no one wants to offend that guy for some reason," Sister Yukii explained.

Hearing that, I gritted my teeth. Is he that bored for us to be dragged into this mess that he made by himself? I can't forgive him for tarnishing the name of my late father and for trying to break my family just because he was a f*cking noble. I will make sure that he won't be going to be holding the last laugh. I made myself resolute to my decision.

"Sis, let me touch you again."
