Mastering magic was easier than imagined.
After learning the skills
Tsukasa successfully changed her class to "Mage."
But her
was still "None."
Because of the
It was a very wonderful physical sensation, and because of it, she also learned how to utilize this thing called MP.
This world has basic attributes like HP, MP, and SP.
HP is the health bar. Just like in a game, emptying the HP means death. She didn't know if this world had skills like resurrection, but the status panel provided by Appraisal always gave her the illusion that she was playing a game.
MP is Magic Power.
SP is Stamina Power.
It is worth mentioning here:
SP has two bars.
One is yellow, and one is red.
According to Si's test results,
this SP can be divided into two types: physical stamina and health value.
Physical stamina is consumed by exercise.
Health value is consumed by hunger, fatigue, and other factors.
If physical stamina runs out, she will fall into an immobilized state of exhaustion. For example, if she runs until her physical stamina is depleted, she will be unable to move, and even if she forces herself to run using great mental effort, she won't recover much mobility.
Furthermore, physical stamina affects the health value.
When the health value is depleted, if it is not restored through eating or sleeping, HP will start to drop.
Although it looks very much like a game,
it is not realistic at all.
But there is nothing unreasonable about it.
Magic Perception Lv1 consumed 300 Skill Points.
Magic Control Lv1 consumed 100 Skill Points.
Water Magic Lv1 consumed 200 Skill Points.
Fire Magic Lv1 consumed 200 Skill Points.
Si looked at her remaining Skill Points.
She checked the Skill Learning section.
After learning magic,
her first realization was how weak her body was.
She had too little MP.
But this should be normal, right?
Because she was just a child from a commoner background.
She had no noble bloodline.
And she was only ten years old right now.
Her body hadn't fully developed yet.
After all, the poor can't even eat their fill.
It's normal for her average stats to be lower than the average level. Look at her life two lives ago: the national average income was over 8,000, but there were still many truly poor people earning only one or two thousand a month.
And in this life,
she wasn't just below average.
She was probably at the very bottom tier, right?
Sigh... there's no need to obsess over this.
Compared to the last time she transmigrated, things were much better. At least she had a cheat—she came with skills, starting with plenty of Skill Points. She was definitely a 'Player' template.
MP Boost Lv1 acquired.
MP Consumption Reduction Lv1 acquired.
MP Recovery Speed Lv1 acquired.
SP Boost Lv1 acquired.
SP Consumption Reduction Lv1 acquired.
SP Recovery Speed Lv1 acquired.
After acquiring six more passive skills,
Si had used up most of her Skill Points.
She couldn't help it.
Passive skills that boost MP generally cost between 100 and 300 Skill Points.
However, skills that boost SP cost double.
The cost of skills that boost HP is similar to those that boost SP.
It seemed she could only rush down the path of a glass cannon mage. She didn't have the talent to change to a Warrior class, and she probably couldn't even handle a class like Magic Swordsman.
"A mage... and the kind with low HP but high attack power... I feel like something went wrong here. Is my character setting 'frail'? As a Transmigrator, I can't be omnipotent. I'm bringing shame to all my predecessors." Si actually wanted to be a Warrior, or at least a tanky Warrior would have been fine.
After all, this wasn't a game.
In reality, surely everyone would want to be a high-HP, high-defense Warrior, because that makes it harder to be killed.
But circumstances didn't allow it.
Given her current situation, she had to quickly gain sufficiently high combat power, so low-cost magic was her only choice. If she hadn't worried about collapsing from exhaustion while walking, she wouldn't have even wasted extra Skill Points on boosting SP, instead putting everything into MP and magic skills to arm herself as much as possible.
Although being specialized in one area is a serious problem in reality,
did her circumstances allow for any other choice?
Si had made up her mind to cultivate in seclusion in the mountains until she was invincible before venturing out. Because of the high attractiveness that came with her transmigration, she had to do this. The civilization level of this world was much lower than her previous life, and without sufficiently high martial power, someone in her situation could easily be ambushed. The risk to her chastity was too high.
For the sake of her purity,
she had to become stronger!
This was not a joke.
Fortunately,
Si did not encounter any danger for the entire night.
It must be that even monsters need to rest at night.
And she happened to avoid the territory of nocturnal monsters.
But shouldn't this time be the most dangerous?
Looking at the rising sun, the somewhat fatigued Si
raised her attention nervously, constantly guarding against movement in her surroundings.
"This is trouble. I knew I would face this predicament. It's extremely lucky that I haven't encountered monsters or wild beasts, but the biggest difficulty is actually myself..."
"Anxiety, fear, exhaustion..."
Her vision blurred momentarily.
Si had no experience surviving in the wilderness.
In this strange and unsafe environment,
she felt nervous even sitting down to rest.
She was terrified that if she wasn't paying attention,
a poisonous snake or something similar would jump out from behind her.
This definitely can't go on!
But even knowing this,
there was currently no solution.
Si couldn't help but open the skill list.
"The only things that can save my life are these miraculous skills. Perhaps the god who made me transmigrate considered this situation, which is why I was born with Skill Points."
Danger Preception: Allows you to sense danger in advance.
Hmm?
Si stared intently at this skill.
Learning the skill required 500 Skill Points.
But... Danger Preception Lv1 acquired.
She had to get this skill!
Stealth: Reduces aura and presence.
Oh!
Consumed 300 Skill Points.
Stealth Lv1 acquired.
"I can't hold on anymore. I must find a place to recover SP!" Si, whose eyelids were struggling to stay open, saw that her SP was depleted and her HP was starting to drop, making her even more mentally strained.
She had to quickly find a safe place to rest.
She needed to find water resources and food.
Otherwise, even if she didn't encounter monsters,
she definitely wouldn't survive for more than a few days.
Si, after her major skill update, began her adventure.
Her choice was definitely something no ordinary person would dare imagine.
Although it seemed like a Hell Mode start,
she only dared to make this suicidal choice because she had a cheat. Without the Transmigrator cheat of Skill Points, she might not have possessed this courage.
Meanwhile,
the village finally discovered her escape.
