Episode 37: The First Appraisal

Light poured into Ren's body.

《Skill 《Appraisal》 acquired.》

"...Appraisal?"

Ren stared at his own hands. He'd obtained a new power. But he didn't know how to use it.

"...How do I use Appraisal?"

He thought a little. Then, a word surfaced in his head.

—Appraisal.

That instant. He turned his awareness to the spear lying in front of him.

《Name: Spear》

《Type: Weapon》

《Status: Usable》

"...I can see it."

Ren was amazed. Just from looking, he knew what a thing was.

"So this is... Appraisal."

Next, Ren turned his awareness to the fang he'd taken from the monster he'd won his rematch against.

《Name: Grandwolf Fang》

《Type: Material》

《Status: Poor》

"So that monster's called a Grandwolf."

It was through Appraisal that he first learned the name of the monster that had given him such a hard fight.

"...It even tells me it's a material, huh."

Next, he tried it on the pelt.

《Name: Grandwolf Pelt》

《Type: Material》

《Status: Poor》

Ren tested Appraisal for a while. Stones. Plants. The tools he used.

Each time he appraised something, its basic information flowed into his head.

"Handy..."

And then, it occurred to him.

"...Can I use this on myself?"

Ren turned his awareness to himself.

—Appraisal.

That instant. Information rose before his eyes.

《Name: Kurose Ren》

《Age: 16》

《Race: Human》

《Skills》

《《Infinite Growth》》

《《Survival Adaptation》》

《《Appraisal Lv.1》》

"...Sixteen?"

Ren stared at the age entry. Thought a little.

And—

"...Come to think of it."

Ren murmured.

"My birthday came and went without me noticing."

Since entering the dungeon, he'd all but stopped keeping track of time. He'd been desperate just to live each day. Without his noticing, even his birthday had passed.

"...Sixteen, huh."

It was a strange feeling. In the outside world, someone might have celebrated with him.

But here, there was no one.
