Chapter 3

"What is this...?"

Sora stood frozen for a moment.

It looked just like a game status screen.

"Is this my performance?"

After carefully examining the status, he concluded that the current values reflected his true abilities.

However, there were some unknown values.

For example, the level. At present, there was no equipment to measure the level of adventurers.

Regarding the status, it seemed to be correct based on his physical sensations.

"I always had a bit more confidence in my evasion compared to other E-rank adventurers... Ah, so it's because my AGI is high."

STR is strength, VIT is vitality, AGI is agility, MAG is magic, and SEN is senses.

Among these, Sora's AGI was particularly high.

In fact, he had been using his speed to his advantage in the dungeon.

Additionally, Sora couldn't use magic. It made sense since his MAG was zero.

From this, Sora was convinced that these parameters were real.

"Maybe if I had magic power, I could use magic?"

When the dungeon appeared, some people gained the ability to manipulate magic.

They could turn monsters to ash or reduce their abilities, and adventurers used various spells to conquer the dungeon.

Sora had wished many times to be able to handle magic...

"In a game, you can allocate points to your status, but the points are zero... maybe it's being automatically distributed?"

The points that could be allocated to the status, SP, were zero.

SP usually increases with level-ups.

The fact that it was zero suggested that it was being "automatically distributed."

"Is automatic distribution random? Hmm, can't I do something about it... Oh!"

When he tapped on "automatic distribution," a small window popped up.

"Change automatic distribution? Y/N"

Sora pressed Y without hesitation. The words "automatic distribution" disappeared from the status display.

"Alright, maybe now I can allocate the status as I like? But, there's no way to test it..."

It was good that he had changed the status allocation system, but SP was still zero.

It seemed that SP would only increase with level-ups.

However, Sora was already at the maximum level—Lv: 5 (MAX).

If his level didn't increase, there was no possibility of SP increasing.

"...In the end, it's useless."

He was a bit excited by the new screen, but when he remembered that he was at the bottom (F-rank), Sora's shoulders slumped.

Maybe I could get stronger with this?

That feeling was an illusion.

Just because he could tweak his status a little, it didn't mean he could become a strong adventurer.

"At least, if there was no MAX display, there would be some hope..."

He walked out of the dungeon, step by step.

The moment he stepped outside, Sora's entire body was enveloped in a gentle warmth.

—It was a healing spell.

Outside the fixed dungeon, idle healers and buffers were on standby.

They indiscriminately cast heals and buffs on adventurers entering and exiting the dungeon.

These adventurers are called street healers and street buffers.

They basically serve others for free.

However, it's not as if they gain nothing from it.

By continuously using heals and buffs, their skills become more powerful.

For example, a healer might initially only be able to heal small wounds, but with continued use, they can heal major injuries instantly.

After the rumor of skill power-ups spread, healers and buffers without hunting plans began to wait in front of the fixed dungeon.

For those receiving heals and buffs, street magic is very helpful.

When tackling the dungeon, they can receive buffs that enhance their physical abilities, and injuries sustained in the dungeon can be almost completely healed.

An injury from an E-rank adventurer's punch was completely healed by a heal.

The pain that had been tormenting his body disappeared in an instant.

When the storm of street heals subsided, a woman healer approached.
