Chapter 50

After gaining an unexpected title from talking about my streaming channel, I headed to the deepest part of the rice field dungeon, collected the dungeon core, and completed the conquest.

Now, all that’s left is to leave the dungeon, report, and go back home for dinner. Mom said she’s making tonkatsu today, so I made sure to keep my stomach empty.

On the way, I explained to Ka苗 (Kaena) the details of the title I just obtained, "The Sign of a Great Surge That Will Emerge by Releasing Oneself to the World," and its effect, which allows me to pinpoint the location of any monsters within a 1km radius.

I didn’t expect the System to be thinking of putting me in a position like a cult leader. Even Kaena, who seems to be seriously considering setting me up as the leader of a religious group, wouldn’t go that far, I thought. But I was being naive.

"Well, the System and Kaena have different stances towards you, don’t they? Kaena is really set on making you the leader of a religious group, but the System is... *cough* *cough*. Sorry, my mouth slipped, forget it."

Hey, you... Do you really think you can get away with just saying "forget it" after saying that much?

What do you mean by "still"? What’s the continuation? Speak, Liebe, speak, Liebe, speak, Liebe!

"I-I’ll tell you when you reach level 300! Until then, keep trying, keep trying!"

"Keep trying" isn’t the answer. You’re the one who needs to try!

...Silence. When it comes to this, Liebe won’t come out easily. She won’t react until the heat dies down or something more pressing happens.

Well, it’s fine, I guess. The fact that I need to reach level 300 to make Liebe appear doesn’t change. When her main body appears, I’ll have one more thing to interrogate her about.

So, let’s put that aside for now. I’ll talk to Kaena about the effects of the title.

"The effect of monster detection is a skill, right?"

"Yes, it’s called 'Presence Detection.' Since the acquisition conditions are known, most explorers have this skill. I have it too, see?"

She shows me her explorer certificate. Indeed, 'Presence Detection' is listed in the skill section. I see.

The acquisition conditions—unlike my skills, which are completely incomprehensible, general skills are usually obtained by meeting specific conditions. For example, swinging a sword a certain number of times to get 'Swordsmanship' or getting cut a certain number of times to gain 'Blade Resistance.'

By the way, I’ve tried to get some general skills whose acquisition conditions are already widely known, but I couldn’t get them no matter what I did.

According to Liebe, "The skills you can acquire are special. The fact that you can get administrator skills is already determined."

When I asked how and why this arbitrary determination was made, I was dodged as usual.

All the effects of the skills and titles I have are mostly fake, so I don’t think too deeply about it. Besides, I’m sure titles and skills will be given to me as needed in the future. It’s a passive attitude that even I find ridiculous, but it’s up to the System.

Anyway, let’s talk about the presence detection effect I gained from the title.

It allows me to search for all monsters within a 1km radius, regardless of location or environment. It’s a pretty impressive ability, as Kaena herself, who has the 'Presence Detection' skill, acknowledges.

"Without considering obstacles or conditions, I can detect up to about 300m. It narrows down even more when considering the environment and my condition."

"Compared to that, mine ignores all those conditions and is uniformly 1km. In a dungeon, it’s a question of what use such a wide range would be."

"For now, that’s true. But I think you’ll understand soon, as you level up."

Kaena raises her finger.

She points to the wall of the dungeon while walking.

"In B and A-class dungeons, the corridors and rooms are often abnormally large. Some dungeons even have rooms that are about 1 square kilometer in size."

"Eh...? That’s scary..."

"It feels like you’re visiting another world. Sometimes, such large dungeons are scattered not far apart, completely ignoring the laws of physics and common sense. It’s laughable, but from a scholarly perspective, it’s enough to drive one mad."

Kaena’s distant gaze and dry smile suggest that she really has witnessed something incomprehensible... as a high-level explorer. Ignoring the laws of physics and common sense, it sounds like pure fantasy.

"Considering that, I think your presence detection has long-term value, looking ahead. Impressive, Savior."

"Looking ahead... after I become a high-level explorer?"

Kaena gives me a thumbs up, saying she thinks I’ll reach the top relatively quickly.
