Chereads / Returning After Being Trapped ,Why Did Everyone Awaken? / Chapter 7 - Half A Year. Loneliness.

Chapter 7 - Half A Year. Loneliness.

I've come to realize that even if you achieve something if nobody is there to celebrate them with you ,it doesn't make you happy. I've managed to complete 4 more quests in the time that I've been trapped here. The fourth quest was to create my own skill. Here's what I came up with.

[Skill Information: Spirit Shell(Lv.3) - A coating of spirit energy that hardens your defense accordingly. Adds defensive power equal to 30%(10%/Lvl) of your Magic Stat.]

I decided on a defensive skill ,since protecting myself is important. But I care less about that and more about going home. Anyways the reward I got was just +5 Strength ,+5 Constitution ,and 10% Physique Completion. As the stats are added separately I reached 44 in all my stats.

The fifth quest was an actual fight. I was forced to fight an Early Stage Magician. Fortunately he had lower stats than me. My stats were all balanced but I was fighting a magic-focused opponent. I used him to hone myself in actual combat and accidentally created another skill.

[Playful Spirit Dance(Lv.1) - A skill created in the midst of battle for battle. When used ,it naturally gathers spirit power from the atmosphere and creates a powerful confusion effect. Inflicts the confusion effect upon anyone with 90%(-10/Lvl) less Mind stat than you.]

The rewards were also pretty mediocre. I only got +10 Strength. With how unbalanced these rewards are ,I would've ended up just like that magician just stronger without the Spirit Body ability.

The sixth quest was to reach Intermediate Success for my physique. It wasn't that hard with all the boosts in my stats. The rewards were +10 Strength and +10 Constitution. I also gained another 10 points of strength from my physique.

What took the most time so far was the seventh quest. It only said to ponder upon the mysteries of the elements to reach a higher understanding. I had no clue what that even meant. I used my spiritual sense 24/7 ,investigating anything I could observe about my Spirit Power. I started to ponder if it was worth continuing through the quests ,but then the image of my family came to mind. I couldn't remember their faces. It's been like this since the beginning. I always thought it was odd. But I know now ,that the bastard who brought me here just wanted to remove all my attachments to the previous world. Fortunately the spirit interfered and allowed me to keep my memories. After the first communication ,I had tried to talk to them with my voice. I was unable to but I heard a faint voice when I was trying.

(Need....Source...Power)

I tried my best to listen ,but I could only pick out 3 words from the voice. After thinking for a while I realized that I need Spirit Power as well as my spiritual sense in order to form a two-way connection. After trying my theory ,I succeeded in creating a complete connection with a spirit.

"Ah~ what delicious spirit power! I'm already full after a few bites!"

I heard the voice of something high-pitched. It seems that the spirits feed on spirit power. Although he gained the Spirit Body ability and even his power changed into Spirit Power ,he still isn't actually a Spirit. So he doesn't need to feed on Spirit Power.
