-Mmmph!
-Mmmh!
'Damn it, it's no use. I can't really talk anymore. Fuck you, Kai!' I shouted in my mind.
{So, are you willing to listen now? And promise not to make any side comments?} Kai asked me.
'Tsk. Fine, I'll listen to you and not make any side comments,' I thought to myself before nodding.
{Ha… finally.} Kai said with a sigh of relief in his voice.
{Idiot, listen here. I'll explain all your stats and show them to you on the holographic screen so you can understand what I'm saying,} Kai said, proceeding to explain all the stats.
'Yes, yes. You don't need to repeat it like a damn robot,' I thought as I looked at the holographic screen.

'Yep, my strength stat is still weak as fuck.'
{Let's start with the first one, the Strength stat. This is a type of stat that refers to your physical power and the external force you can utilize,} Kai continued to explain.
{It's an ability that is connected to the muscle strength of your body. Additionally, increasing this stat will greatly help you overpower your enemies on your own,} Kai added.
I'm aware of that, you know? There's no need to brag about it.
{Furthermore, this is one of the major types of stats, so you really need to increase it. As of right now, you're just at 11 [+F], which means even a kid at your age could beat you without breaking a sweat,} Kai said, mocking my Strength stat.
{Just what on earth did you even do in your life to only have those stats? What did you do with your life? Eating and sleeping?} Kai added.
Well, yeah. I eat, study, and, lastly, sleep. So what were you expecting?! I am the only son of our family?!
{Ahem, anyway, if you're planning to increase this type of stat, all you need to do is push your body to its limit,} Kai said, finishing the discussion on strength stats and transitioning to the next topic.
{Next is the Endurance stat. This type of stat is related to your ability to withstand fatigue, resist physical strain, and endure pain,} Kai said, starting to explain its usage.
{Basically, it's a type of stat for tank roles that often receive a massive amount of damage,} Kai added.
{And luckily for you, you have 47 [-B]. It means that even if I stabbed you in the back, you would still be able to withstand it,} Kai said and began to teach how to increase this type of stat.
{So, to increase this stat, all you need to do is become a masochist,} Kai said.
"..."
Hearing what he just said made me utterly confused.
What?! Become a masochist? No thanks.
{Ahem, what I mean is, you can torture yourself or, if you don't like that, simply let yourself be beaten,} Kai suggested before continuing.
It's still the same! You just removed the word 'masochists.'
{However, you don't need to do that because you're already a good starter,} Kai added, forcefully changing the topic.
Thanks?
{Next, we have the Dexterity stat. This type of stat is considered an external stat, encompassing agility and movement speed only,} Kai explained, starting to explain its usage.
{Basically, if you're planning to become a ninja or an assassin, then this is for you. Unfortunately, with that 24[D], you're as slow as a tortoise,} Kai added, beginning to explain how to improve it.
{And as for how to raise this type of stat, all you need to do is learn how to evade and attack, and that's all,} Kai added.
'That's it? Dodge and evade? What kind of advice is that?!' I thought to myself while staring at Kai, giving off vibes of 'Are you kidding me?
{Idiot, don't look at me like I'm a fraud. I'm really serious about it,} Kai said in a serious tone before changing the topic.
{Anyway, next is the Stamina stat. Although, as you said, endurance stats and stamina stats are the same, however, what you said is wrong,} Kai said, pointing out my mistake.
And how will you prove that?
{Because stamina is just stamina, plain and simple. There's nothing else to it,} Kai added.
"Huh, what the heck?" I questioned.
{If you don't believe it, then I'll give you some examples since you only have a Stamina rating of 40[C],} Kai added, proceeding with the example.
{For instance, as I said, the Stamina stat is simply about stamina. If you run and suddenly feel tired, it means your stamina is low,} Kai explained.
Ahh, okay, I somehow understood it. Understand my ass.
{And that's it—no need to explain further. So, as for how to increase it, all you need to do is push your limits, like running nonstop until you get tired,} Kai said, shifting the topic to agility.
{Indeed, the next stat is Agility. Isn't this the stat you said was the same as Dexterity?} Kai mocked me again.
'Really? I just want to know the difference. Why are you mocking me?' I thought annoyingly.
{Well then, I will begin to explain the difference between Agility stats and Dexterity,} Kai said, starting his explanation.
{Agility stats are an external type of stat, just like intelligence stats. This type of stat helps to make reaction speed and critical thinking much faster,} Kai added.
{Unlike Dexterity, which only helps with movement during fights, Agility stats are specifically used for critical thinking when planning to fight. So, that's the difference between them. Do you understand now?} Kai explained.
Ahh, I kind of get it now. Thanks for the long explanation. So you mean Agility is used internally, while Dexterity is for external actions.
They're really similar but somehow different. If that's really the case, why didn't you just say that from the very beginning?
{Do you understand it now?} Kai asked in a serious tone.
"Hmm!!, hmm! (Indeed, I do,)" I hummed, trying to make a sound.
{Well then, I will continue,} Kai said, beginning to discuss the next topic.
{The next topic is Intelligence stats, and as the name itself suggests, Intelligence refers to cognitive abilities.} Kai began to explain what it covered.
{For example, problem-solving, memory, and learning. It encompasses intellectual capabilities, mental acuity, and the capacity to understand and process information effectively. Did you catch it?} Kai added.
Yeah, yeah, I get it now,
{And that's it, no need to explain any further. By the way, if you're planning to improve this stat, just read books. That's it, read books,} Kai advised before changing to the next topic.
'Ehh, okay,' I responded by nodding my head.
{The next one is Control stats. And just as the name suggests, Control is a type of stat that helps you control your pyrosite ability more efficiently,} Kai said before explaining the use of Control stats.
{Also, this type of stat is one of the major types because it's the only type of stat that can help you with your pyrosite ability and nothing more,} Kai added, pausing for a moment.
'Huh? What is it? Do you want to fight or what?'
{I don't know what you're thinking, but I am not fighting you. I am just looking at you and wondering how you got this rank of stats,} Kai said, continuing the explanation.
Huh? What do you mean by that?
{Fortunately for you, your Control stat is 41[+C], which means you're above average,} Kai said in a pleasing tone.
Yes, yes, it's me, the chosen one! HAHAHA, who's kidding? Chosen one, my ass. Then why the heck is my strength only 11[+F]?
{Anyway, to improve this skill, all you need to do is regularly use your Pyro-abilities and nothing else,} Kai added before explaining the most crucial stat.
{And as for the final stat, we have the Sense stat. This type of stat encompasses the body's sensory perceptions, including sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell,} Kai explained in detail.
{All five of them are crucial, as increasing your sensitivity in each of your senses can be beneficial,} Kai added.
{Although it may sound simple, it's not. For instance, with heightened senses, you can easily detect if there's poison in your food, among other things.} Kai further elaborated before concluding the explanation.
{And that's all of it. Now you can freely talk,} Kai said, still mocking me.
"Finally," I mumbled, feeling relieved.
"So, how is my explanation? Is it good?" Kai added. "Yes, it's all good. However, it seems like I already knew most of it," I replied.
{You what?!} Kai retorted.
"Well, that's true. Like I said, I already knew some of it because I'm a writer. So what did you expect?" I responded.
However, I'm not saying that everything I've learned so far is useless. Well, more than half of it is.
But my point is that no matter how proficient you are in this type of genre, you're still bound to forget things.
So basically, as I said, only half of it is useless. However, there's still the other half that is not entirely useless.
For example, the differences between those stats, which I didn't know, were really significant.
And that's it...
"Like I said, I already knew most of it. I just wanted to know the difference between Stamina, Dexterity, and Endurance," I repeat in a serious tone.
{Tsk, fine. Anyway,} Kai responded.
"What? Are you going to admit that you lost?" I mocked Kai.
{No, I just want to say that you need to leave now, or else you will really die,} Kai said in an imitative tone.
"Huh? What the heck?!" I exclaimed in shock.
