At any rate, I decided to move forward.
However, I was apparently 12 years old now. Since it was different from when I was 16, I couldn’t move my body properly. For that reason, I thought it best to check my status screen now, as Lord Jizou had told me.
I closed my eyes and thought “I want to see my status screen” in my head.
Immediately afterwards, something appeared in front of my eyes, which should have been closed. This was probably the status screen.

I see, I see. Since I’ve come to another world, I thought… this might be the case, but it really is like a game, just as I hoped.
Moreover, my name has changed to Alim. This is… erm, why not the one from my old life [1]? Well, at any rate, it’s the same name I used before in Dragonar Story. Will this be my name in this life? Well, it doesn’t sound weird, and I like it, so it should be fine, right?
In the column below the name is experience. Naturally, just looking at these three letters makes me want to level up. I’m sure there’s lots of people who understand. Aren’t there?
Then, there’s HP and MP as usual [2]. Apart from that, I assume A is for attack, D for defense, and S for speed, but I wonder what C and W are. I’m also rather curious about STP.
I’d like to know more details about them, but…
This is your status screen. Unless you are in possession of a special skill or seal, you are unable to look at other people’s status screens.
…Oh. More information showed up. I guess more details will appear, when I think that I want to see them?
Then, a general explanation about the stats first.
Name is what it says, your name [3].
EXP is the amount of experience points, you have acquired.
HP is vitality [4], and if it drops to zero, you fall unconscious. Furthermore, should you receive damage exceeding 1% of your maximum HP (rounded up to the next decimal point), while having fainted due to HP loss, you will die.
Oh ho, so even if your HP drops to zero, you might manage, if you have companions?
MP is magic points. It will be consumed when using SK1 or some SK2 skills. When MP falls to zero, A, D, and C will be reduced by 30%, and S and W by 50%, until at least half of the MP maximum has been recovered.
Therefore, I can’t let my MP fall to zero, right? If I mess up and my stats drop because of it, I might die.
A is attack power. It influences general attacks and the power of SK2 skills.
D is defense. It influences all possible resistances.
C is dexterity. It influences some SK2 skills and actions that require skilled fingers. Rarely, the power of attack skills can rise or fall depending on dexterity.
W is spellpower [5]. It influences MP recovery speed and the attack power of SK1 skills.
S is quickness. It influences all actions that require speed.]
So, those two were dexterity and spellpower.
It said, D is for all kinds of resistances… which probably means exactly what it sounds like. Raising it should allow me to resist attacks, magic and stuff like poison more easily.
STP is stat points. You can allocate them into any stat you like, but once points are distributed, it is impossible [6] to reassign them. One STP will increase the chosen stat by one. HP and MP are increased by two per STP.
The stat growth for all humans [7] in this world is the following: For each level up, HP, MP, STP and SKP are increased by ten, while the other stats are increased by five (there are exceptions due to items and other things, of course). Once a certain level is reached, the stats added per level up are increased.
Due to that, the way STP is allocated will likely be different for each person. You should think carefully, when allocating your points.
Phew~, incredible. So, STP will shape my individual characteristics. I must think this through… For example, if my goal were to become a magic user, I should go for W and MP, while for a warrior, it would be A, D, and HP, and as a thief, I would use C and S, I guess?
I see~. That’s rather deep, isn’t it?
Let’s look at the skills next.
TL notes:
Going over this chapter after translating so many later chapters made me realize how many details about the stat-system exist, that… never get used in the story. Like the stuff about MP falling to zero lowering all your stats. Though I might be misremembering things here and it actually shows up in the earlier fights.
