7 Nightowl (1/2)
Back in the cave under some ragged but clean clothes Harrison opened his eyes and looked around. It was dark and there were scary noises coming from the woods with the gentle noise of running water. The air around him was fresh and humid. As he took in a big breath he did not feel tired at all and his thoughts went back to the books.
'Inventory', he thought.
He came back to the four books.
'So I guess it remembers the last filter applied. Cool.', he thought in satisfaction.
He looked at the books and remembered he never read their descriptions.
Opening the porn book first he noticed the title and everything fit perfectly even the damn description of special effects was correct..
---------------------------------\t
Item name: Book - Satire's depraved life
Quality: \tLow
Special effects: Makes reader horny.
Description: \tLow quality porn book with illustrations.
---------------------------------\t
'The system must have deduced the title from the illustrations and used lore from my original place to fill in the gaps.', he deduced logically.
Opening the sword book he looked at the now not empty description.
---------------------------------\t
Item name: Book - Basic swordmanship for beginners
Quality:\tLow
Special effects: Teaches swordmanship up to level 10.
Description:\tLow quality sword training book.
---------------------------------\t
'Hmmm. I only reached level 5 though. Probably because the system could not deduce all the words. I need more picture books.', he thought.
He looked at the one with the flower on the cover.
---------------------------------\t
Item name:\tBook - Book about flowers
Quality:\tLow
Special effects:\tUnknown
Description:\tLow quality book about flowers.
---------------------------------\t
'No shit Sherlock.', he sighed in disappointment.
Last but not least was the book with only some text on the cover.
---------------------------------\t
Item name:\tBook - Book with a lot of text
Quality:\tLow
Special effects:\tUnknown
Description:\tLow quality book with a lot of text.
---------------------------------\t
He just facepalmed.
'I don't know what I expected but it was certainly not this.', he thought.
Harrison thought about what he could do in bed since it was dark outside and probably dangerous. He was not in the mood for masturbation so he thought about what other things he could do in bed. First thing he got in his mind was math so he started making multiplications in his mind.
Mathematics skill unlocked.
Mathematics skill LVL. 1 acquired.
Bonus Intelligence +1 (not applied since over 10)
He frowned at the message but since he had nothing to else to do he continued multiplying dividing and hoping his mind would get tired eventually and he would fall asleep.
Mathematics skill LVL. 2 acquired.
Mathematics skill LVL. 3 acquired.
Mathematics skill LVL. 4 acquired.
After a long while when he was almost asleep and he was multiplying two four digit numbers in his mind he finally reached level 5.
Mathematics skill LVL. 5 acquired.
Bonus Intelligence +1
The message that it was not applied was not present this time.
'I guess skills below level 5 can only add attributes up to 10, hmmm interesting. What do I do next?', he thought while yawning.
