Talent Effects

Drip! Drip!

A cold drop of water landed on Moss's face as she lay in a stupor, slowly sliding down her fur.

The freezing temperature made Moss knit her brows in spite of herself!

Her consciousness gradually cleared, and a series of sounds began to echo in her mind!

Talent: Minor Injury Recovery (12%↑)

Talent: Minor Injury Recovery (30%↑)

Talent: Hunger Resistance (25%↑)

Talent: Minor Injury Recovery → Minor Injury Recovery I

Talent: Hunger Resistance → Hunger Resistance I

"So noisy..."

Still groggy, Moss muttered a few words, but as if she had suddenly realized something, she bolted upright.

She scanned her surroundings in a panic, taking several seconds to slowly calm down.

Only then did she remember that her leg had been injured, and her expression shifted instantly as she cried out:

"It hurts... wait, it doesn't seem to hurt anymore?"

Moss sat on the ground, looked at her injured right leg, and tentatively moved it a few times.

"Yes! It's not broken, it's actually healed!"

Moss nodded with a calm expression, then let out a long sigh of relief and slumped back onto the ground, her body going limp.

She had survived!

"Oh ho! Nice! Yeah!!!"

Moss lay on the ground, pumping her fist in celebration, then quickly opened her panel!

Name: ???

"...Awesome!"

Moss's eyes widened, two large characters forming in her heart and echoing slowly through the cave!

She flipped back through the previous notification logs, reading them one by one.

Gradually, the expression on Moss's face began to twist.

"Yosh!"

Moss clenched her right fist and pulled it toward her chest, a brilliant smile spreading across her face!

Golden Finger: Effect ①: Talent Construction and Optimization; Meaning unknown (unable to parse)

Talent Construction and Optimization: Practice makes perfect, repeated tempering creates skill; any technique or behavior can be constructed into a talent, and talent levels can also be increased.

What a surprise! What a damn surprise!

Is this what a Golden Finger cheat is?!

It's too strong!

Moss already understood from the information in her memories just how difficult it was to obtain talents!

The only known ways to obtain talents were through leveling up or changing classes.

Within a single tier, the maximum number of talents an Awakened One could obtain through these two methods was eleven!

But Moss knew that such an average distribution of talent points would undoubtedly lead to a wasted build!

In other words, an Awakened One obtained very few talents within a tier, certainly fewer than eleven!

Although Moss did not know if there were other ways to obtain talents within the laws of this world.

She knew that her own number of talents was far beyond that of any other Awakened One, and the level of each talent was certainly not low!

"Hahaha—with this talent, why worry about not being invincible in the world!"

Moss stood up and laughed arrogantly!

Gurgle—

But as a strange sound came from her stomach, Moss collapsed back onto the ground.

Gurgle—

"I'm hungry..."

Moss muttered powerlessly to herself, listening to the notification sound slowly ringing in her mind.

Hunger Resistance I (3%↑)

Whether it was because of the Hunger Resistance or because her body desperately needed food to replenish its energy.

Moss felt a bit more strength returning to her body.

She slowly stood up and carefully observed her surroundings.

"This is... still in the cave."

Moss quickly figured out where she was; she was still in the same cave as before.

She hadn't expected that while wandering around in a daze after being injured, she had actually stumbled into a small nesting nook within the cave.

Drip! Drip!

The faint sound of dripping water reached Moss's ears, guiding her in the right direction.

Moss carefully poked her head out, checked her surroundings vigilantly, and then stepped out of the hole.

Drip!

"This way..."

Following the sound of the water, Moss walked toward the exit.

Drip!

In the pitch-black sewer, there was silence, save for the dripping of water.

Moss stood before the opening, looking at the situation and environment outside.

"As expected... it's much quieter here than the previous sewer."

After all, there was too little food in this sewer; there wasn't even a larger animal to be found.

Moss stepped out of the hole and came to the slowly flowing sewage.

She looked at the black, murky water and swallowed hard.

Her throat burned with thirst, and Moss longed to lower her head and take a deep drink.

"It should be safe to drink, right?"

Moss recalled the memories of this body; the water she drank in the nest wasn't much different from this.

She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and began to drink.

Talent: Poison Resistance (12%↑)

"Uh... I actually got another talent..."

Moss's drinking motion stiffened; she glanced at the new talent on her panel, then lowered her head and continued to drink.

The water was poisonous, but she didn't care.

Because aside from the foul taste, Moss didn't feel anything else.

Even the most basic level of Poison Resistance was enough to neutralize the toxins in the sewage.

Now, the most important thing was to replenish her fluids; everything else could be ignored!

Gulp! Gulp!

Moss drank several mouthfuls, feeling the foul stench, and couldn't help but swear in her heart:

'I must leave this hellhole in the future!'

Having replenished her fluids, Moss began to search for food.

"Geez, although there isn't much food, I can still find some if I look..."

Moss looked at an unidentified object floating in the sewage, her expression subtle.

It was a lump of rotting meat, the original owner of which was unknown; it was oily and wet.

"Uh... it should be edible."

Moss dragged the rotting meat out, her face grimacing as she swallowed hard.

To be honest, if her stamina hadn't been so low, Moss really wouldn't want to touch this thing.

She opened and closed her mouth, building up her mental resolve for a long time before finally taking a deep breath.

"Inhale—exhale—"

Eat! If she didn't eat, how could she survive, regain her human form, and see this brand-new world!

She took a light bite, and two notifications immediately popped up in her mind!

Talent: Omnivory (52%↑)

Talent: Poison Resistance (20%↑)

Ptooey!!!

"Ugh... disgusting! But it doesn't seem to be a problem, though it tastes so bad!"

Moss violently spat out the rotting meat, covering her mouth with a look of wanting to vomit.

She swore in her heart again that she must leave this place!

After finally suppressing the urge to vomit and soothing her convulsing stomach.

Moss looked at the rotting meat, which had only been bitten once, and steeled her heart!

'I have Poison Resistance anyway, eating it definitely won't hurt!'

Moss comforted herself, buried her head, and began to gnaw on the rotting meat.

Chomp, chomp... Ugh!

A long time later, Moss crawled back into the hole and lay in her makeshift nest, saying weakly:

"Oh! My God, I never want to eat this damn, filthy trash again!"
