Roa kept wondering what he was lacking and where his weaknesses lay.
The more he thought about it, the sleepier he got.
Outside the window, everything was quiet. Only the chirping of insects broke the stillness of the night.
Roa yawned. The mental strain from his earlier duel had affected him a little, so he lay down and opened the system interface.
All of his attributes had now risen by one tier.
[Character: Roa Greyrat] [Age: 11] [Strength: D-] [Agility: D+] [Stamina: D] [Intelligence: A-] [Talents: Pure Body (Stage 1), Fool (Stage 1), Greed, Sword Heart (Level 2)] [Skills: Advanced Magic Knowledge, Sword God Style Swordsmanship (Advanced), Thunderous Raincloud (Water Saint level), Magic Sword, Magic Seed] [Evaluation: You now have what it takes to venture out into the world.]
That was where he stood now. All of his attributes had risen by one tier, especially his intelligence, which had reached A-.
Breaking through each tier brought tremendous growth. But if this was all he had, he might be able to handle ordinary people; taking on freaks like the Dragon God was just a pipe dream.
Roa lay on his back in bed, the soft bedding nestled against him. Moonlight spilled through the window as he switched his viewpoint to his Sword Art Online self.
Grinding monsters.
He yawned. He wasn't in the mood today, so he wouldn't play the real-life version of Sword Art Online.
At dawn, when the first rays of sunlight touched the land, Roa was already awake.
He lay in his soft bed, with no intention of getting up.
It was still dark outside. Maybe he could sleep a little longer.
But just then, someone knocked on his door.
The knocking was rough. Roa frowned and rolled over, not wanting to get up at all.
