Leveling upYawn. slowly I wake up and notice my stomach rumbling metaphoricaly. No, seriously my hunger seems to be gigantic. Deciding to fill my stomach, I mine away at the rock in front of me. After eating six rocks I am interrupted.
[You have reached Level 2.]
Wow! Can I eat in peace, please? This time nothing interrupts me from eating the final four pieces. Well at least I believed that to be the case, but I’m not stuffed yet at all. After another eleven pieces, I'm finally stuffed. Not. I'm simply interrupted again.
[You have gained the Enhancement Skill Lesser SP-Recovery.]
After that, I’m somehow able to eat another 19 pieces till I’m stuffed.
Who are you, and where the fuck is my stomach? I was already perplexed before. I mean how was I capable of eating my volume own in stones, but now I'm fbbergasted. Deciding to find out the reason, I open my Status.

I have Efficiency IV now! Seems like it leveled up every ten times I've used the skill. That would hint at a linear increase and that would be way too fast.
If this is because of Incredible Understanding, then the skill is way more powerful than I gave it credit for and I believe it is. After all, why would your Levels have an exponential increase in raising difficulty, but the skill levels not?
Oh, and they were so good and showed all the changes that happened, since the st time I opened the Status Window. Also, why do I feel like the Resistances Tab was added in retrospect? Must've been my imagination, cause it's in the first chapter too.1Well it could be that I simply forgot about it and added it ter. Tehee
Looking at it, the only thing that quadrupled is Vitality, so I guess, this stat also changes how much my stomach can hold. Do the other stats also have hidden functions? I guess that's another thing to explore.
Let's look at the new skills. First Lesser Stamina2that the author shamelessly added just now in the first chapter. I even already leveled up the skill once. Let's once again hope it doesn't lower my stats.
Lesser Stamina
Enhances the Stamina stat by 1 per Level
Well, that expins the +2 next to the Stamina stat. Also the 'Lesser' seems to hint at an even more powerful skill. Furthermore, how come this is specified, but the other things aren't. Let's put it on our list of things to solve. Looking at Lesser Vitality, it seems to work the same way.
Moving on, I just received Lesser SP-Recovery. Let's see what that does.
Lesser SP-Recovery
Enhances the SP-Recovery by 0.01% of max per minute per Level
This is calcuted in percentages? Damn, that's gonna be overpowered in the te game, but now it'll only regenerate 0.002 points of stamina per minute. That means it'll only take eight hours and twenty minutes to regenerate one point of stamina.
Looking at the stats, it seems like every level up grants one Strength, two Dexterity, one Defense, one Vitality, one Intelligence, and one Stamina point.
Wait a minute. Why the fuck is Faster Thinking categorized under Other? Is this not clearly an enhancement skill? Let's try to focus on Enhancement.
Enhancement Skills
Enhance either a stat, or the Recovery of a stat.
Well, that expins it. Faster thinking enhances my thinking ability, which is not a stat. Could this be a truly passive ability, while Faster Thinking is only half passive? Also, are only the effects of Enhancement Skills specially specified?
Let's look at the others too, to not get surprised again.
Racial Skills
Skills granted by the Race
Figures.
Magic Skills
All Skills directly reted to magic
So things like elemental magic, but also things like mana control, if that's a thing?
Resistance Skills
All Skills, that grant a resistance
Unique
Skills that are unique to the user
Other
Skills that don't fit into the other categories
That was obvious again.
Now what? Is there something other than eat and sleep, that I can do? Thinking? I guess, I'm doing it already, but isn't there something else? Something more fun?
Thinking that, I suddenly notice more space in my stomach. It was already digested so fast? That's unexpected, but welcome. Maybe my digestion ability improved with my Vitality. Whatever, at least I now have something to do.
Deciding to continue digging. I activate the skill again. After having eaten, I look at the Dig skill and notice that it actually leveled up. So it really is a linear increase? Dang!
~Minin' away~
~I don't know what to mine~
~I'll mine this anyway~3This is a real song btw https:///watch?v=dgha9S39Y6M
Well, looks like I haven't reached Bedrock level yet. Nor did I find any diamonds. At least I didn't fall into va yet. Could be because I've been digging at a snted angle. My Mcraft instincts are well preserved you see. And that is, even tho I stopped pying a long time ago. My dig skill is at level 8 by now.
I also got two level-ups and received the Enhancement Skill Lesser Intelligence. A bit insulting, but hey. What can you do?
Another thing I've noticed is that my Faster Thinking seems to increase at an exponential rate. Is the level-up condition something like 'think for a certain amount of time'? And because my thinking is growing faster, the rate at which the skill level increases is also faster? What's even more absurd is, that the Skills Lesser Intelligence and Sense Surroundings seem to be increasing at the same rate. They're probably bound to the same conditions as Faster Thinking.
