Ch 6: Actually, it has two slots…
<span style="font-weight:400">[Adventurer Lvl 1]
<span style="font-weight:400">[A reckless person that only through his inventory would find what is necessary to continue his journey]
<span style="font-weight:400">In the ss description, it clearly mentions ''inventory''.
<span style="font-weight:400">''Now, I just have to cast the spell for the skill to-…Mm?!''
<span style="font-weight:400">Normally, my UI is transparent. Even with the circr map at the bottom right of my vision, I can see through it. But now that I''ve thought so much about the inventory skill, the interface appears to show...
<span style="font-weight:400">[Status] [Skills] [Magic] [Inventory] [Settings]
<span style="font-weight:400">Three of them have always been gray, that is, not avable. These three were Magic, Skills, and Inventory. Even when I tried to open them, nothing happened. But now, both Skills and Inventory, have their colors back.
<span style="font-weight:400">I mentally pressed Inventory, and then a window appeared in front of me with a grid in its center.
<span style="font-weight:400">I took the snow fur and dragged it towards the window. The next second, the fur disappeared from my hand and mysteriously appeared in the inventory window in a grid slot.
<span style="font-weight:400">"…"
<span style="font-weight:400">Normally, I would have to recite a spell to be able to activate the inventory ability. And, ording to my parents'' exnation, it requires a lot of practice to be able to add or remove objects from it. To the point that many seconds can pass before the object is entered or removed.
<span style="font-weight:400">I tried to move my sword into the inventory… It was also sessfully entered. Then, I entered the fangs and then the fire tail. Everything was entered without problems.
<span style="font-weight:400">"…"
<span style="font-weight:400">''It is known that a Lvl 1 adventurer has limited inventory. It''s impossible at level 1 to add so many items! Even less if they are so different from each other! Haa… This user interface is really tricky.''
<span style="font-weight:400">Shaking my head, I entered the [Skills] menu, and there it appeared…
<span style="font-weight:400">[Inventory Lvl. Max] [3|3]
<span style="font-weight:400">[Inventory is avable at full capacity.]
<span style="font-weight:400">"…"
<span style="font-weight:400">''Ma- Max Level? What''s going on here?! Has the user interface increased in level? I don''t think that''s it. All UI abilities are disyed in the menu, and there are none rted to suddenly leveling up.''
<span style="font-weight:400">The more I think, the more I feel like the answer is on the tip of my tongue…
<span style="font-weight:400">''Mm, I lost inspiration.''
<span style="font-weight:400">"Haa..." I sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">''Well, at least, now I know why I don''t have to recite the spell and also why I don''t have to concentrate when inputting and removing items. After all, the ability is at its maximum level.''
<span style="font-weight:400">Now I am very curious about the meaning of that [3|3] but, even when I mentally press it, no description appears. I''ll have to wait until I acquire a new skill before I can draw any conclusions.
<span style="font-weight:400">I removed the sword from the inventory and, then, left thebyrinth. Once I walked through the gate, I immediately appeared at the entrance of thebyrinth, next to the big rock.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Haa… If I had the [Traveler] ss, then there would be no need to walk anymore…"
<span style="font-weight:400">Unfortunately, its conditions are a mystery, so I have to walk through the forest to reach the east entrance of the capital. Because I checked out before leaving for thebyrinth, I can enter the city without paying taxes and skipping that long queue.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? Were you injured?"
<span style="font-weight:400">Emir: "…"
<span style="font-weight:400">I indeed got hurt because of the boss, but the receptionist looks at me as if the little snow wolves were the ones who hurt me. Haa... To prevent her from looking at me like that, I took out the [Snow Fur] and put it on my shoulder like a towel.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, a little. The boss of the first floor was a bit difficult."
<span style="font-weight:400">I almost died for not being properly prepared, but that doesn''t matter. Right now, I must show off a bit. Otherwise, I won''t get that rookie impression out of the receptionist''s mind.
<span style="font-weight:400">Receptionist: "!!!"
<span style="font-weight:400">''Sess. Now, I''m going to my room. I want to rest a bit.''
<span style="font-weight:400">***
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want this shirt and these pants."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sir, are you sure you can pay?"
<span style="font-weight:400">I knew there would be misunderstandings about me wearing casual clothes. So, I went to a store to buy something of higher quality, but unexpectedly, the seller didn''t know how to distinguish the real customer from the fake.
<span style="font-weight:400">I took out a gold coin and showed it to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seller: "!!!"
<span style="font-weight:400">I can get addicted to that look of surprise, but I have to control myself. The UI is slowly getting me addicted. If I add more addictions, the drug will now appear childish inparison.
<span style="font-weight:400">The shirt and pants are casual, but high-ss clothes. Both cost a total of two silver coins. They are not fit for battle, yet they will serve me to avoid being looked down upon.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What did you do to that chain mail? It was in perfect condition yesterday"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Could you see it through my clothes?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m a cksmith, kid. It''s my job-… Hey, do you n to use that sword? You''re going to die."
<span style="font-weight:400">Since I''ll be a [Knight] in the future, I came to Erick''s cksmith shop to buy some light armor, but I didn''t even enter when Erick started asking me questions.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you rmend to me?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I rmend you sell them to me. Those things only serve to melt them down and reforge them."
<span style="font-weight:400">''Are they that bad? True, the chain mail is a little sunken where the boss attacked, and the sword has some scratches for the same reason, but I believe they can still give a few more battles... Anyway…''
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fine, then I''ll sell them to you."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You have made a good decision."
<span style="font-weight:400">''My parents'' farewell giftsted a very short time. What will they think when I tell them-…? Ah… I have not sent them a carrier pigeon.''
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you know of a ce nearby that sends carrier pigeons?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re lucky, two blocks from here is the mail service."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you, I''ll be right back."
<span style="font-weight:400">Erick: "…"
<span style="font-weight:400">''— This guy hasn''t even received his payment for the sale and has already run away. What is it that he has to send in such a hurry?'' Erick thought, shaking his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">Past traumas haunted me… I felt a shiver run down my spine the moment I remembered the carrier pigeon. My instinct made me run to the post office and write quickly to my parents that I arrived safely.
<span style="font-weight:400">Once the letter was ready, I paid for the service and chose the dove. These are not just any pigeons, but they partially have the blood of monsters in their bodies, which is why they are stronger and more resistant than a normal pigeon.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was only when they put the letter into the vault connected to the pigeon, and sent it flying, that I was able to rx. Then I went back to Erick''s store.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Have your payment."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks… Right, what''s that empty slot for?"
<span style="font-weight:400">I''ve always been curious about that [Slot: (Empty)] that both the bronze sword and chainmail had. I may know the life of an adventurer, but when ites to weapons, I only know the basics.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Empty Slot?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, both items have one"
<span style="font-weight:400">Erick: "…"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Does something happen?"
<span style="font-weight:400">Although I asked, Erick seemed thoughtful. After a few seconds, he entered the shop and brought some weapons with him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Which of these swords has what you call a ''slot''?"
<span style="font-weight:400">With the swords on the table, I go over and check each one. The user interface showed a window with the information for each of them.
<span style="font-weight:400">[Iron Sword] [Slot: (Empty) (Empty)]
<span style="font-weight:400">"This one," I say, pointing to the iron sword with two empty slots.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay, wait a bit."
<span style="font-weight:400">Erick took the iron sword into the shop. This time, it was a few minutes before he came out with the sword again, but there was a big difference in his condition.
<span style="font-weight:400">[Iron Sword] [Slot: (Chain)(Empty)]
<span style="font-weight:400">"What you call a ''slot'' we cksmiths know as a ''free space''. We can only identify a slot when we evolve to the [Great cksmith] ss, these are for adding runes to weapons and armor."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah I see-…Mm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">Erick threw the sword at me.
<span style="font-weight:400">''Does he want me to test it in abyrinth?''
<span style="font-weight:400">"It will be yours in exchange foring from time to time to identify some weapons. Of course, I will give you amission"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh… You left me speechless."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Just ept it. That identification ability of yours is a very rare one. You''ll earn money just for telling me which ones have empty slots."
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s fine, thanks"
<span style="font-weight:400">This day has been full of surprises. I came to buy some essories to be able to defend myself, but in the end I got a weapon with a skill… and not only that, but I also just got an incredibly easy job.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t thank me; it will be a mutual agreement. Just don’t mention your ability to other people, since it will arouse unwanted attention." Erick said so with a serious look on his face.
<span style="font-weight:400">''He is right. If this UI feature is known, people will want a piece of the cake sooner rather thanter.''
<span style="font-weight:400">"You must work on that skill. In the future, you will probably be able to identify two ''slots''. Maybe you will be able to identify even three of them. I will be waiting for that moment"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mm... The sword you gave me has two slots"
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Erick looked at the sword in my hand as if he wanted to take it away with his eyes. Of course, he didn''t. He kept hisposure to the end.
