Chapter 8: Checking The System And Experimenting (1/2)

-----

Chaos was invited into a strange room within the large castle, one that was even forgotten by the Ainz before…

The bathroom!

”Belphegor, what is this place?” asked Chaos.

”This is the bathroom, my lord. As a fleshy being, I am sure that you must want to bathe yourself,” said Belphegor.

”Is there water here?” asked Chaos.

”Water? Why yes, there is Nether Water directly extracted from the Nether Ice that is stored underground! In the past, Master Ainz also had some flesh servants such as Zombies, Gargoyles, or even Goblins and Demons, so they usually were required to have high hygiene!” said Belphegor.

”I see… Well then, go away, I want my privacy,” said Chaos.

”Oh! S-Sure thing!” said Belphegor, who was planning to aid his lord at bathing, but he was quickly cast away from the bathroom!

Chaos moved inside as he took away his clothes within the near darkness of the place, but he was able to inherently see in the dark.

However, as the more he adapted to the dark vision, a sudden system notification emerged.

Ding!

[You learned the [Dark Vision: Level 1] Ability]

”Oh…”

Chaos was startled for a millisecond as he quickly waved away the System Window, it was rather obvious what the Ability did, and he intuitively knew its information the moment he had acquired it.

Dark Vision helped any being to see through the dark, not only night, but any place that was devoid completely of light was as visible as a day for a being with such an Ability.

As Chaos wondered if Dark Vision could somehow evolve into X-Ray Vision, he quickly used the bath, as suddenly, Nether Water was poured over him.

Even as an Undead he felt it was incredibly cold, but each time it bathed his pale-white skin, he felt stronger… Could it be that this bathroom not only cleaned the fleshy creatures but also reinforced them?

Perhaps Nether Water also helped as a way to maintain flesh beings from rotting, especially Zombies or other Undead that had flesh.

And as Chaos was included in such a category, he felt like his skin was reinforced.

He decided to open his mouth and drink a mouthful of it as he relaxed for a bit, he had done a big battle already, and he wanted to assess things out for the moment.

And while bathing in the strange and mystical water, he began to check his Status once more, which emerged by him merely willing it.

He glanced at the statistics, they seemed rather obvious at what they did.

[Vitality: Determines your total health, the lower it goes the weaker you grow, when it reaches zero it means you are on the verge of dying]

[Mana: Determines the total amount of Mana within the user's soul and body, transcendental energy that flows through all of the cosmos. It helps the user cast Magic and Active-type Skills and Abilities]

[Strength: Determines your total physical power, the strength of your muscles, bones, skin, and even things such as how sharp your claws can be. The more you possess the stronger you are physical]

[Agility: Determines your speed and dexterity, it is determined by the flexibility of your body and the strength you can infuse on them to move even faster, the higher it is the faster you are]

[Stamina: Determines your capability of resisting physical damage of any kind, the higher it is the more hits you can take, and the more energy you possess to keep fighting, certain Skills might use Stamina]

[Magic: Determines the power and mental capacity of the conjuration of magic-based spells, abilities, and skills, alongside determining the reduced amount of magical damage you receive by 50% of the total stat]

But it seemed to be still quite complex.
