Haiji brought out the contents of the purse and immediately he saw its contents; some teeth, ash rocks covered in dull runes and a brown envelop.
Then the tent opened up and another woman in white garment entered, causing Haiji to instinctively hide the purse and its content upon seeing the woman.
“You are to make sure you immediately leave the premises when that drip is done, like the previous nurse told you too before leaving. Don’t make me come back here with backup” The woman said with a stiff tone and immediately left.
‘I guess my presence isn’t welcomed here by all. Now that’s normal’ Haiji thought, turning his head to look the liquid content in the drip released a single drop at a time.
Then he lay down to rest his back and summoned the writing ‘Unchecked Messages’ that is currently under Codex and has seen it blinking since the time he woke up.

‘Wow, I levelled up a lot killing all those Hobgoblin and Rock Hob… I mean Golem’ Haiji thought to himself with a smile as he saw the messages.
‘Wait, levelling up takes a lot of time… That time I still had Evolution Pod, it took me 20 minutes to level up and the time kept increasing the higher I level I got, even after setting up the Reflex Evolution Pod.’ Haiji started realized what these Unchecked Message also meant.
He has gone through 3 level ups, which meant he has been unconscious for hours.
Haiji was first worried about it, but calmed his nerve since he still needed to stay for a few more hours whether he wanted to or not, so he decides to check his Profile.

“Having the Reflex Evolotion shit really gets things done without me supervising a damn thing” Haiji said adjusting his body to more comfortable on the bed.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“I currently have 55 Elixir, 36 Coins and 55 Points, that fight was almost worth it if it didn’t nearly cost me my life” He thought to himself, as he recalled what actually almost cost his demise – His body is too weak to handle his strength.
‘I thought Stamina, Energy, Strength and Speed are the most important things to increase since I didn’t know what the other really meant but that kind of thinking made me over exhaust myself and almost killed me…’ Haiji stated in his mind, recalling all the lessons he was forced to learn in just of few days of having the System.
He looked at all the Power Status attributes and started thinking deeply about each one of them, though Strenght, Speed, Stamina and Energy were already figured out, the rest were still a bit unknown and unclear to him.
‘I know I can’t add points to Heart, but I don’t even know Construct, Vitality and Cognition or which one of them will make my body able to handle my strength.’
He couldn’t really test them out because unlike Speed and Strength, others didn’t sound practical to test out.
Then he suddenly recalled the virtual assistant voice and its written function before he activated it.
‘Umm…Explain Cognition’ He demanded in his mind.
‘[It is the thought process and senses of the body]’
“It worked… I didn’t think it would” Haiji commented with a bit of relief.
The explanation was very short but it was still something to work with.
“I guess the sense of the body are the five senses – sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch but what the hell is ‘thoro…No tho-ught process?” Haiji couldn’t help but ask himself.
“It doesn’t really matter, at least I know half of Cognition is and does… So guess I can upgrade my senses, Nice!” Haiji said.
“Explain Heart, Construct and Vitality” He ordered with his mouth.
‘[Heart is the core of life’]
‘[Construct is the build of the physical body]’
‘[Vitality maintains life]’
“I guess Heart was no-brainer but I thought I should confirm my guess, so Con-struct it is the build of my body and Vi-ta-li-ty maintains life…Hope I pronounce those two right” Haiji stated looking at the Attribute with no idea on how to translate it into something that he could understand better.
“At least now, I know what to invest in, so my body can handle my strength, but how do I know what exact amount of Construct I need support Strength?” Haiji pondered.
The more he discovered, the more questions he had and the more he hesitated in doing anything rash out of fear and caution.
“Fuck it, I can’t try anything to see what will be enough. I will just wait until I get the mall before distributing my Status Point” I declared to himself and closed Profile, then summoned Codex.

A dagger made of the femur of a Hobgoblin and its bile duct. It is laced with poison rune of goblin bile that causes extreme nausea and muscular pain.
Debuff: Extreme nausea: Opponent will experience extreme stomach pain that will make it lose focus for a while.
Muscular pain: Opponent will experience severe pain when it moves their body, lasting for hours.
‘The rewards from the battle with those wooden-arm Hobgoblins or Flame-leaf Hobgoblin (like the System stated) are very much worth it’ Haiji thought, as he decided to buy the first item that looked promising without a down side – The Goblin-Bone dagger.
Immediate he brought it; green ash-like particles started weaved together in mid-air right in front of his face.
Out of the swirling particles came a dagger completely made of white bone and a green-coloured rune was imprinted at each side of the blade.
Haiji grabbed it with his left hand before it dropped on his lap.
“Nice dagger” He commented as he inspected the dagger, suddenly there was thunder claps and the sound of rain dropping and intensified by the second, soon a clear pouring of heavy rain could from inside the tent.
He returned his focus back to screen after some seconds checking out the dagger.
‘I don’t need the Crude club, it will just be a waste of Coins and the other skills seem like curses attached to gifts; the Goblin-urine is trash, the Golem skin and Eraser demands a lot. I can’t just alter my body for some skills from E-Grade Aggressors’ Haiji commented inwardly.
Skills and weapons are gotten from dead opponents and do not just appear out of thin air in the System, this was an observation Haiji made after changing the View option and acquisition of objects infused or made with arcane.
So, he sold the rest of what was available in the Codex, except the Arcane Skill: Eraser because after giving it some thought, it is a very dangerous superpower and could come in handy the Gates if he ever feels cornered or hopeless. He could then sell it off, making it serve as a one-time deal in order not to attract unwanted attention to himself.
Status Points immediate increased to 68 while Coins increased to 39 with a sound of jingling coin as it incremented.
Then he brought out the contents of the purse from where he hid them, seeing the details.
