Noting that the passive skills had directly become talent abilities, Takeru didn't have much to say about it.
Next, Takeru began to investigate other changes, starting with the skill descriptions. He was mainly concerned that some skills might have been altered during the conversion process. After carefully reviewing them, however, he frowned.
The main issue was that he discovered the Gluttony skill had changed, or rather, gained an additional condition.
The other effects remained the same, but if an opponent's attack exceeded Takeru's Defense, the Gluttony skill could not devour that attack.
However, besides using his mouth, Takeru could now directly use his hands to activate the Gluttony skill.
After considering it, Takeru accepted this adjustment. While it seemed like a limitation, it also made activating the skill much more convenient.
Using the Gluttony skill through his shield was straightforward, but Takeru couldn't always carry a shield in the real world or in some instance worlds.
Next, Takeru examined his equipment. The equipment effects were unchanged, especially the Destruction Growth effect on the Twilight Night three-piece set, which delighted him.
Besides these, the Reincarnation Space had also manifested the special equipment slots from the game world for Takeru.
This meant Takeru's equipment could provide bonuses simply by being placed in the equipment slots. Weapons and shields still needed to be held to grant their attribute bonuses.
Armor, rings, bracelets, and necklaces could be hidden or made visible at will.
With a thought, the armor, rings, and bracelets on Takeru's body instantly vanished. With another thought, they reappeared, looking extremely stylish.
Back in the real world, this ability alone could be used for magic tricks, though Takeru had no intention of using it for something so trivial.
Next, Takeru stored his shield and short sword.
As the shield and short sword were put away, Takeru felt a significant portion of his strength vanish.
He accepted this, as the short sword had provided an additional 30 points to his Strength attribute.
With the shield and short sword stored, Takeru's Strength attribute dropped to 24, and his Defense became 233.
The newly exchanged Health Potions and Mana Potions appeared in his item slots. Besides equipment slots, he had ten item slots for storing objects. Identical items could stack.
Looking at the item slots, Takeru had an idea. He could create a large chest, place various items inside it, and store the chest in one slot.
This was a workaround, but it meant he would have to retrieve the chest and search through it whenever he needed something, which was cumbersome.
Meanwhile, Umaru and the others were also receiving their settlements.
However, compared to Takeru, even Umaru, who had the highest rating, only obtained a D-Rank evaluation. Others like Rikka received only E-Rank evaluations.
D-Rank and below evaluations did not come with a rating treasure chest. This meant Umaru only received a D-Rank evaluation, one thousand points, and her in-game gains.
The Hirasawa sisters also obtained D-Rank evaluations through sheer luck.
Yukino received a D-Rank evaluation. The remaining four obtained E-Rank evaluations and three hundred points each.
When Takeru returned to the communal area, he saw the group again.
He noticed Rikka seemed much more subdued, especially around Yukino. Clearly, events had occurred over the past three days.
"Hello, I'm Doma Umaru. Nice to meet you." Umaru came forward as soon as Takeru arrived.
Her enthusiasm came from them all being chosen by the Reincarnation Space. Moreover, everyone except Takeru already knew each other.
"I am Nara Takeru. Nice to meet you." Takeru saw no reason to be aloof.
"We didn't see you in the Miracle World. You chose a different game world, right?" Umaru asked curiously.
The group had exchanged information, but Takeru was missing.
"Yes, I chose the NewWorld Online World," Takeru replied.
"I see," Umaru nodded.
"By the way, you haven't met the others. Let me introduce you. Since we're all here, we might cooperate in the future," Umaru continued.
"Sure," Takeru replied calmly.
As long as the Reincarnation Space didn't force them to fight, cooperation was possible.
