Chapter 5: Inspection

10 Days had passed since his first summon. It was just past noon now, around the time he woke up from his afternoon nap. He thought of the future while gazing at the grimoire. “Allen’s status” was written on the front cover. During these 10 days, he continued his summons behind Theresia’s back and understood many things regarding the grimoire and summoning. First, about the grimoire. That’s about all he got to know about the grimoire’s functions. Since then, he hadn’t received any notification from the god of this world. Next, about the create cards. There seems to be a limit to how much the grimoire can stock up the cards since he couldn’t summon or make more than 10 cards. When he tries to create the 11th one, “Please erase one of the existing cards” appears on the grimoire’s cover. The same happens when he tries to summon. He also tested the beast H during this time. «Type» Beast «Rank» H «Name» Chorosuke «Strength» 5 «Mana» 0 «Offense» 5 «Stamina» 2 «Agility» 3 «Knowledge» 1 «Luck» 2 «Divine protection» Stamina 1, Offense 1 «Special ability» Running around The inspection results: Just as the ‘name’ property containing “Chorosuke” in the status column suggests, it is possible to create and summon the beasts with a pet name instead of just ‘beast H’. It is certainly true that abbreviations like that are convenient for inspection and analysis but he feels that it is necessary to have names. Insect H’s name is “Denka” now. At present, it seems they do not have enough intelligence to listen to his words. He thought he could do something about it by giving them intensive training but there was no sign of any change. It doesn’t have enough intelligence and doesn’t listen to him but there’s one thing he can order. «Luck» 2 (25) «Skill» Summon <1>, Create <1>, Delete «Exp» 0/1000 «Summon» 1 «Create» 1 «Create» 24/1000 «Insect» H «Beast» H «Insect» H – 2 cards «Beast» H – 8 cards (Finally got to 24 for skill exp, eh? So, the used up mana turns to skill exp, I assume. I don’t have any other skills which take up more than 2 mana to confirm either.) Inspection results for mana and the conditions required to earn skill exp: He understood that he could just keep using the ‘create’ skill over and over to level it up. (Judging from the fact that using the skill takes up 2 mana and my max mana is also 2, it would take 500 days to get to level 2 if I were to use it once every day. However, it seems that my mana fills up in about 6 hours so I should aim to use it twice a day. Even then, it would take 250 days, eh?) He could feel the endless time required to level up in the hell mode. He is assuming that his mana fills up in 6 hours from the fact that it fills up when he wakes up from a half-day sleep. He’s an infant who needs 12-15 hours of sleep a day. He doesn’t even have a clock so even if his mana can fill up 4 times a day, he realized during these 10 days that waking up at a certain time was difficult. While there were days when he could use it thrice a day and also not even once a day, he made up his mind that he would aim to use it twice a day from now on. (I want a memo feature to record all my findings... I mean, this book is so thick, it could easily have a memo feature.) He wanted to memo his findings during these 10 days as much as he could. It’s only obvious for a gamer to use a spreadsheet software to analyze the levels or status. He didn’t ask for anything as rich but he at least wanted to be able to record his inspection results. And so, he kept thinking about wanting to use the blank pages he hadn’t used. A thought he wanted the god of this world to know. As he was having such complaints regarding the grimoire, he heard Rodan’s voice from the other room. “Theresia, I am back~!!” (Oh! He’s back. Seems like he had a good haul.) He could feel the happiness from Rodan’s voice. And like that, Allen was excited about Rodan’s return.
