I focus my gaze on Fowler and wonder how he got the entire concept of a butler from me. I know damn well that I only thought of the word butler, so how the hell does he know the mannerisms? I know for a fact I didn't think about them…
Am I missing something?
Before I can dive deeper into my thoughts, I hear a voice—the same one from when I fell asleep. It's a… male voice???
"Answer: Upon evolution, monster Fowler gained the chance to choose a class. Upon careful consideration, we took his will to serve you and his unique species traits as a silent hunter to create theShadow Butlerclass."
…Oh, I really, really hope he'll be the only one to choose a butler class. I really don't want to end up defenseless.
Speaking of which… can I check Fowler's details? His stats? Why didn't I think of that sooner?
I metaphorically facepalm myself as I try to look at Fowler. Well, really, really focus on him, at least, and…
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Well, I guess I can't do that, then.
I'm about to give up when—
…Huh?

Woah, okay… that's a lot. A lot of words.
I stare at the massive amount of information floating in front of me, not even sure where I'm supposed to start.
Wait… Dirt? Stone? What the hell are those supposed to mean?
My attention jumps between the strange grades before something else catches my eye.
And Fowler is Level 7?!
I mentally freeze for a moment.
He's been alive for a week! How the hell is he already Level 7?!
Okay… how do I see what I actually have? Or what Fowler has brought me? What has he even been doing this entire week?
The moment the thought finishes, something shifts.
A faint pulse runs through my core, followed by that same strange sensation of information being pulled from somewhere deep inside me.
Then, without warning, a massive panel unfolds across my vision.
[Request Recognized.]
[Searching Dungeon Records…]
Dungeon records?
The panel flickers.
[Relevant Function Found.]
[Schematic Archive]
…Schematic what?
Before I can question it, the panel expands.
And expands.
And keeps expanding.
Lines upon lines of names begin filling my vision.
