It has been a month since I was reincarnated into this world. There is nothing much happening except me being level three right now.
~Name: Homura Ryobe~
~Job: None~
~Level: 3 (3120/30000)~
~HP: 535/535(+25 from Equipment)~
~MP: 1070/1070~
~STR: 49~
~VIT: 51~
~INT: 107~
~LCK: 10~
~TP: 400.250~
~SP: 20~
I must say I'm confident fighting against a horde of zombies with a level of four coming at me. I never die in the dungeon, but there are a few close calls, like when I attract the attention of ten levels five zombies near the boss tower entrance.
I was saved by the unique skill of Kris Taming Sari. The five seconds of physical invulnerability given by the skill is long enough for me to create a good distance between my enemy and me before I shoot them with my bow.
I also get myself another piece of the worker armor. This time it was the helmet.
However, what makes me excited is that I could finally buy the sword that I needed to challenge the Mid-Boss. With that much TP, I am finally able to buy Skofnung.
"Shop"
I immediately go to the weapon section and search Skofnung and buy it. A second later, a sword appeared in my hand. The sword itself has the shape of a normal Viking sword but what makes this sword different is that its blade has a blue color. Not only that, on the surface of its blade, there are several runes engraved. The handle is also engraved with many Rune of unknown capabilities.
"Observe"
[Skofnung]
[The sword of legendary Danish king Hrólf Kraki. "The best of all swords that have been carried in northern lands," it was renowned for supernatural sharpness and hardness, as well as for being imbued with the spirits of the king's 12 faithful berserker bodyguards.]
[Damage: 300 + (250% of STR) + 100 (Sharpness)]
[Unique Skill: King's Guardian]
[King's Guardian: Call the spirit of twelve powerful berserkers to aid the user in a fight.]
[Passive Skill: Sharpness and Unbreakable]
[Hidden Skill: Inflict a wound that never is healed]
[Requirement: The sword could not be drawn in the presence of a woman, and the sun should not shine on the sword hilt before it can be drawn.]
This sword is powerful, but there is a requirement before I could draw the sword. While the requirement is not really too difficult, the first requirement can become a problem in the future. The second one is easy enough to cover the sword with my body before taking it out of its sheath.
However, the first requirement sucks, but I guess this weapon is good enough for this type of Dungeon. However, if there is a humanoid dungeon, I need to prepare.
Anyway, nothing is exciting in my life other than leveling up.
Oh! The other day my grandfather came to my house for his monthly visit.
~Flashback~
Ahhh, it is really good to take a back after fighting a lot of zombies at once. While I fight them from afar, using a bow the entire day makes my shoulder tired and my finger numb.
After I finish taking a bath, I wear my clothes and walk to the kitchen to make some breakfast.
I took out a fresh mackerel from my inventory and began to prepare it to be cooked. I want a simple Japanese menu for breakfast today: a grilled mackerel, Miso Soup, and Omelet. Of course, as a certified Asian, I prepare some rice as well.
While I'm busy cooking breakfast, I hear the bell door ringing. I take away the apron and walk toward the door and open it. When I open up the door, I see my grandpa standing there with a small smile on his face.
"Jii-chan!"
Without hesitation, I hug the older man and spin him around.
"Woah there. It's good to see you, Ryo-kun."
"It is good to see you too, Jii-chan."
"Look at you! You have changed so much since the last time I see you."
"Hehehe~."
I let him walk inside the house.
"Jii-chan, have you eaten some breakfast?"
"Sadly, no. Do you want me to order some food here?"
"No. Right now, I'm cooking some food for myself, but I can increase the proportion so both of us can eat."
"Oh? Then let's taste your cooking, shall we?"
"I will not disappoint you."
"You never disappoint me."
I smile at his answer before walking to the kitchen. I can see my grandpa following me to the kitchen, and when we arrive, he sits down at the dinner table.
After putting on the apron, I begin to cook, but this time for the two of us.
~Ten Minutes Later~
"Itadakimasu"
"Itadakimasu"
After saying our prayer, we begin to eat the food. I take some of the fish and eat it. While the seasoning is simple, the natural sweetness from the fish makes the dish very delicious, and with the side of grated Daikon, it becomes a perfect combo for this dish.
"I must say this is delicious."
"Thank you, Jii-chan."
"Where do you learn how to cook?"
"Well, I learned it from the book and the internet. The reason I am learning to cook is that I want to diet."
"...And the reason you want to do a diet?"
"I want to change. Every time I see myself in the mirror. I am disgusted by what I see. The previous me will run away from reality and begin to bury all of it by playing some game or watching some anime. However, one day, I begin to think about my future. I don't want to rely on my parents to keep me alive. I want to stand for myself. Right now, the reason why I can eat some delicious food is that they are sending me money, and I want to change that."
"And the first step is to change your diet?"
"The first thing I need to change is my body. My previous body is the body made by my dependency on my parents. So if I want to change it, I need to discard my previous body and start anew."
"I see. I guess the next step is to repair your education, am I right?"
"Yes. I know it is already too late to change all my mistakes in my education, but I'm working on it."
"Good. That's good. If you need anything, call me or your uncle and aunt. They will help you."
"Thank you, Jii-chan."
"So! I hear you become a mangaka under the wing of Akagawa publisher…"
I spend the rest of the morning talking with my Grandpa about me being a mangaka. I am surprised when he says that he will support me with my career choice and help me promote my manga.
~Flashback End~
So yeah! Right now, Jojo Bizarre Adventure has been translated to English, and now it is the first manga that just released that immediately went international. I also fulfill my promise and donate all the manga income to the local orphanage and the orphanage around Japan.
The total money I got from one month of selling is ten million yen or around ninety-five thousand dollars. This is only the first volume of Jojo, and there are still three more volumes before the Jojo Bizarre adventure chapter one is complete.
Anyway, not only is the manga successful, but my friendship with Yuka-san also runs very smoothly. While there is no more demon I could hunt and sell to her, she said she needs my help soon. I don't know what she wants me to do, but it looks like a very important thing that involves fighting.
I wonder what kind of help she needs me to do? Ah, forget it, I still need to prepare for the fight between me and the dungeon mid-boss.
