So first things first! I still don't have a name even though it has been eight years and I'm kind of wanting to have a name already.
And I discovered two things about my UI.
One, I can actually get stronger by absorbing energy from the atmosphere. The UI can assist me in that part as I see it. Right now it is set to 30% power so I won't be detected by others.
Two, skills! And there is a [Passive] & [Active] categories.
So I have come to a conclusion that this is a martial arts world.
Children are taught values at the age 4, knowledge at the age of 6, and then self-defense by the age of 8. Of course, there are also other types of education like fighting arts and others.
So we are done with values and knowledge, right now are being taught with self-defense so I'm currently doing self-reflections right now.
Many would be asking why a girl such as me would be doing push-ups. Reason being I need to be strong enough to protect myself from this unknown world.
Yes we were taught knowledge by our parents and I must say that they are great parent, teacher, as well as trainor. But knowledge and experience differs.
I believe in the saying of a man I encountered, "Knowledge is not enough, we must apply."
So as we were taught about the body parts, weakness, strenghts, muscles, acupoints. I had a sand-filled dummy and using the UI, I made a training regimen.
First would be my cultivation, the % of absorption must not exceed 30 at my current age as my body would not be able to handle the power.
Second would be increasing my speed as I need to be fast enough to get close or to retreat. To hit or to evade.
Self-reflection is a must to improve oneself, know oneself, and be one.
So with the knowledge we were taught, I made myself food that may increase bodily functions as well as healthy diet. So my meals major in vegetables. And while using the UI, I can make the most out of every ingredients. So I am the greatest cook in the family! Yay!
With the values I have learnt respect and dignity.
With knowledge I have gained the way for self-support.
And with self-defense, well... defense.
So I have summarized... this is a martial arts world.
So anyway, back to the beginning. We don't have names yet. It is said that a human must not be named by another human which is quite irritating. I asked mother to name me but she said that it was a taboo.
And so I did my research and saw a history book and said that a man was named by a woman and the man died of unknown reason after 1 day of being named.
I guess that after that incident, being named by a human would cause inevitable death but I don't believe that.
And so I was being stubborn and finally mother complied to name me.
And so she named me "Shiro".
'Congratulations! You have been named Shiro. Rewards have been decided, recieve now?'
What? That's unexpected... let's recieve them now.
'You have recieved "Dagger of Growth" and "Normal Random Box" 3x.'
I thanked Mother that she gave me a name that I really liked and told my twin brother that I was given a name. His reaction was simply to cute as he said, "Unfair!"
I checked my Stats and I was really surprised.
--- --- --- --- ---
Name : Shiro | Age : 7 | Race : Human
HP : 70
Energy : 100
Cultivation : First Level : Feet
ATK : E
SPD : C
DEF : C
M.ATK : E
M.DEF : E
--- --- --- --- ---
So yes, I'm definitely slow in terms of Cultivation.
Let's check up on the dagger.
--- --- ---
Item : Dagger Of Growth (Sealed)
Features : Grows with the Owner
Unseal with drop of blood
--- --- ---
So a drop of blood is it? Let's unseal you up shall we. Good thing I have a needle in my Inventory.
I pricked my finger with the needle and the blood drops down unto the dagger, I wait until a few seconds before I check upon the item.
--- --- ---
Item : Dagger of Growth
ATK : D
Bleeding : Reduces the target's stamina by 2% per second and per hit.
--- --- ---
Ohhh!!! What a nice effect it has... wait a minute. Aren't I made for assasination?
But assasins should kill without being seen right? And even if they're outside, they wouldn't be known. A woman in the day, an assasin by night... I like the sound of that.
"Hey sister, what are you all grinning about?"
"Kyaaa!! You scared me there!" I told him that.
"Sorry sorry, but you looked really weird grinning like that. Don't do that next time else I'll tell mother you're brewing something bad."
This brother of mine... knows alot.
"Okay okay fine. Anyways brother, you have a name already?" I asked him so that the topic would change.
"Not yet but I plan to have one later on the day. Mother says I wouldn't grow stronger if I was named by her." He replied.
"But why did Mother name me?" Don't tell me...
"Because you were so stubborn she gave you one, she regrets to say you can't get stronger." Shocked at the revelation I shot the Energy Absorption to 100% .
"What did you say?"
"You cannot get stronger anymore." My brother didn't take the hint.
Too angry, I didn't notice that my cultivation was gaining a rapid increase in energy.
Far away, her dad was killing a beast when he felt something was wrong. "Isn't this my daughter's energy signature? I have to stop that girl from gaining anymore energy!"
And her mother, "Oh? She inherited my speed at absorbing energy...There's no time for that!"
