Chapter 17 Wolf Pack and words to my family (1/2)

“They are still here…” (Hikaru)

Even after waking up 7 hours later, the wolves were still wandering around.

They can’t see me since I am inside the barrier, but by eating a bit of my meat, their palates must have awoken to the taste of a human, or maybe this area is their base to begin with.

Whatever it is, it looks like I will have to steel myself here.

I use 1 Crystal to buy the information of the wolves.

[Ringpill Wolves: Regular Body – wolves found around the whole continent of Ringpill. They act in packs, and there’s times when they hunt giant sized monstrosities. They feed on small animals, but they can be omnivorous, and can eat things like nuts. Packs are commonly 8-20, but there’s times when it can go all the way to 50. The ones that become a Wondrous Entity will in the end devour their own pack, and after that, be killed by another Monstrosity. In rare cases, it will become an Extermination Predator. The appraisal target is of regular body. Probabilities of a Spirit Stone appearing are: Water 20%, Pure 80%]

“It showed up with the giant monkey too, but what’s this ‘Monstrosity’ thing…?” (Hikaru)

It is an explanation assuming you know the unknown terms, so it doesn’t click. Basically, it is a wolf.

It doesn’t have a ‘Big Size’ description on it, so that must be the common size. Or more like, there’s creatures like that giant monkey 4 meters in size, so a slightly bigger wolf falls into the ‘normal’ parameters, huh.

I stand up and confirm my surroundings from within the barrier.

“…It is not anywhere in sight, huh.” (Hikaru)

I must retrieve the Barrier Stone I dropped. That’s something I bought for 1 precious point. It should have fallen nearby.

There’s still remaining time in the Barrier Stone, so I won’t be going out yet, but I must decide what I should be doing.

I used the Barrier Stone at 8:00am.

I don’t know when I lost consciousness, but I remember walking till dawn. In other words, I fainted early in the morning and was attacked before 8:00am. The wolves were probably searching for breakfast.

And right now it is 3:00pm.

The effective time of the Barrier Stone is 12 hours, so I can stay like this till 8:00pm.

“Will I be able to slip away at night…?” (Hikaru)

I find it hard to believe that the wolves will be sleeping at daytime like I do. There’s no way they can act for 24 hours straight, so they should return to their nest once the sun goes down.

At the time when I was attacked, the wolves didn’t enter my Darkness Fog, so it will work out somehow… It should.

That hint must still be effective.

I trained my Dark Spirit Abilities as much as time allows.

I am scared of that Great Dark Spirit showing up from using Darkness Fog inside the barrier, so I prioritize Shadow Runner which doesn’t concentrate darkness that much.

Sunset came in the time I was doing that, and the wolves ran off somewhere as expected.

8:00pm.

Updated from novelhall[.]com

I was searching all around for about 1 hour after the barrier vanished, and managed to find the Barrier Stone I dropped, so I once again covered myself in darkness and began walking.

There really must be few nocturnal creatures here, I managed to walk without much issues.

I would find coral currants growing en masse every so hours of walking, so I had no problems with food.

If I had the ability, I could have hunted animals like big squirrels and birds, but I am currently incapable of that. But well, no luxury allowed here.

I have had a constant stream of 6 hundred million viewers every day since a while ago.

It is a hard to believe number. Is that even possible?

I am simply walking in the darkness the whole time. I may have met monsters, but only monkeys and wolves. Moreover, it is not like I am fighting them. I just stayed cooped up in the barrier.

I can’t think of my actions as something that would bring 6 hundred million eyes.

The only possibilities I can think of are that they are cheering for the Chosen that suddenly appeared and are watching in amusement at how I am on the verge of death, or maybe they are cheering for me who is desperately trying to survive.

How are the other Chosen doing? There’s way too little information a Chosen can get.

I got the [Reached 2,000,000,000 Total Viewers].

There’s 1,000 Chosen. There’s a limit to how many one can watch.

In other words, no matter how I slice it, I am up there…as one of the people who is being watched the most.

“There must be people watching their screens even now…” (Hikaru)

Having 6 hundred million people watching me still doesn’t feel real right now.

No, that’s obvious.
