18 Episode XVIII: At the Fountain of Recovery (1/2)

”We're here...”

Fourth floor, a lake in the woods.

There was a beautiful sight in front of me like a painting.

This is the savepoint.

Kneel by the lake with the prine on your back and look out over the lake.

It is very clear water. Cover with your hands and mouth. Delicious.

Comfortable sobriety from mouth to throat and into body. Fatigue disappears from the flesh, and power is perceived throughout the body.

”- Whoa...?

My voice leaks unexpectedly at that pleasure I get for the first time. Wow, my body is light.

According to the Alliance payment map, this is the 'Fountain of Recovery'. I thought it was a fountain, not a lake. Well, I don't care about the details. Anyway, wounds heal, fatigue disappears, poison is cleansed, health returns, and strength overflows.

In a guild-like word, 'HP fully recovered'.

Calling status in the brain.

Name: Larna Plata

Human: Lv??

Warrior: lv??

HP: 136

MP: 0

Attack:?? + 2 (Broken Long Sword)

Defense:?? +12 (Initial Armor Set)

Fastness:??

Skills: Unlocked Lv20, Detected Lv20, Tracked Lv20, Mapped Lv10, Hidden Lv3, Treasure Hunt Lv3, Swordsmanship Lv10, Iron Wall ”Guard”, Assault ”Charge”, Strong Strike ”Attack”, [New] Money Investment ”Zeninague”.

Skills: [Breathing] I can breathe and throw up.

HP is up. level or other status value?? That would naturally mean leveling up. If you go back to your guild and get a status sheet, you'll know what it's all about.

What's this new fighting technique called ”Zeninague”...? It feels disturbing...

Well, not now.

Look for soft grass and a place to sleep and let the prine lie down. The little sorcerer sleeps happily and easily.

”... ehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

What are you dreaming about?

But when you sleep like this, it's not sneaky to wake you up. Let's let him sleep for a while.

There are no monsters caught in detection. Naturally. This is an absolutely safe save point.

But there seems to be other adventurers. I see a quadruple resting in the same way by the lake in the distance. It would be a party. I'll be on my guard today, but don't you have to worry about that?

”... ku”

Stand up and stretch. By the lake in the woods. The air is delicious. Let's breathe a lot.

Repeated deep breaths have the feeling that your body is going to be cleansed.

”Speaking of which...”

I'll do what I think. It inflates your stomach at the same time as you put air into your lungs and snaps your stomach at the same time as you exhale. Repeat carefully ten seconds at a time.

It's nothing special. It's just abdominal breathing. I'm not sure how effective it would be to level up, but I remember asking the guild leader to try all sorts of breathing methods. Ever since I did it in my elementary school singing class, but yeah, that feels cool.

I'm doing it.

”Ya, tired!

There was a woman's voice from behind. Seeing, there are four of them over there in three. Looks like only one of us came this way from the party.

A woman in her early twenties. I'm wearing martial arts clothes. I'm not skinny standing up. That seems strong.

Look back and say hello.

”Good luck”

”Lynn Minmao, a martial artist. Level 15. Greetings.”

I was just offered a hand. They're asking me to shake your hand, it took me a second to decide.

”Oh, uh, I'm Rana Plata, a warrior”

”What's the level?

”Uh, five?

”Haha, what's that? Look at the status.”

”He's got a level. '??' What is it?”

”Congratulations on that. When did you get to the fourth floor? How old were you before you got here?

”I came before noon. It was five then.”
