Chapter 33: Checking His Status

Because of that, Qiu Nuoya had no idea whether that occupation had changed since then.

Incidentally, the word [Missing Child] that had once appeared before [Adventurer] on Qiu Nuoya’s identification card had disappeared before he even realized it.

In its place, the title [Freeloader] had appeared for a while.

Qiu Nuoya definitely had not missed that.

The day after he was finally able to pay for his own room instead of living off others, the title changed again to simply [Rank G Adventurer].

Just who was managing these job titles, anyway?

The system was absurdly detailed.

That was why Qiu Nuoya had become curious about how his [Novice Beast Tamer] occupation had changed.

Maybe it had already disappeared.

After all, he had never actually done anything that resembled beast taming.

Until now, he had deliberately avoided saying, "Open Status!" and checking his status again.

But once someone had experienced being able to see information about themselves with their own eyes, it was hard not to become curious.

He had also learned that the Appraisal skill was considered extremely rare.

Because of that, he thought it would be unwise to use it where other people might see.

Today, however, was the first time since arriving in this world that Qiu Nuoya was completely alone.

Come to think of it, he had never actually felt lonely since coming here.

That was because Igor and Viktor, the two men he had met purely by chance, had always stayed by his side.

After moving into the adventurers’ shared house, there had always been someone nearby besides those two as well.

Thanks to that, he had never even had the chance to feel alone in this unfamiliar world where he had known nothing.

It was a strange feeling.

In his previous life, even when he had been surrounded by family or coworkers, he had always carried the feeling that he was completely alone. Yet here, in a world where he had started with nothing, that loneliness had quietly disappeared.

Qiu Nuoya took a deep breath to calm himself.

The last time he had used Appraisal, status windows had appeared over every person and object around him, making it seem as though the entire world had glitched.

It had shocked him at the time. But he was sure it was something he would eventually get used to.

Open Status!

The moment he silently spoke the words in his mind, a single large status window appeared before him.

Unlike last time, it displayed only his own information.

It looked almost identical to the status screen he had seen at the church.

His name and age had not changed.

What had changed was the occupation section.

There were far more entries now.

The first occupation listed was [Rank G Adventurer].

He already knew that.

The second, however, was no longer [Novice Beast Tamer].

Instead, it read [Mage’s Apprentice].

Well, that was certainly accurate.

He really was Viktor’s disciple now.

The third occupation made him tilt his head in confusion, [Little Cook].

A cook meant a chef, right?

Was it because he had been preparing meals for everyone at the shared house?

He had never intended to make cooking into a profession, but since he was earning spending money from it, perhaps it really did count as one.

Finally, the fourth occupation was [Novice Beast Tamer].

The title had not changed at all.

Apparently, occupations did not disappear once they had been acquired.

That reminded him.

The status screen he had seen at the church had not displayed any titles.

Qiu Nuoya searched for the title section.

Viktor had suggested that they were probably hidden by a concealment skill.

As it turned out, Qiu Nuoya possessed that very skill himself.

There were several entries in his skill list displayed with inverted colors.

[Concealment] was one of them.

He did not remember seeing any in

verted text or numbers when he had checked his status at the church.

Perhaps those were the parts being concealed.

More importantly, every skill displayed with inverted colors seemed completely outrageous.

[Stamina Limit Break] and [Mana Limit Break].

What in the world were these?

Behind the stamina and mana gauges he had seen at the church were enormous numbers enclosed in parentheses.

Those values, written in inverted text, were on an entirely different scale from the normal ones.

Perhaps this meant Qiu Nuoya had a body that would not die easily, no matter what happened to him.

Come to think of it, Non Elemental Magic had also been displayed in inverted text.

Not only that, its skill level was 10.

The maximum.

Seriously?

This was completely overpowered.

It was so absurdly overpowered that all he could do was laugh.

As for the title section he had been looking for, the first title read, [Reincarnator from Another World].

...Yeah.

That definitely deserved to be hidden.

There were plenty of other titles as well.

[Beloved by the Gods] and [Favored Child of the Creator God].

One after another, they all hinted at the Gods or his origin from another world.

It was obvious why those titles had been concealed.

Among them, however, one title was visible.

[Resident of the Coalora City].

That one had probably been added recently.

Well, if that was all anyone at the church could see, it was more than enough.

After carefully examining his status, Qiu Nuoya closed the window.

In the end, the only thing he had really learned was that his status was completely ridiculous.

He appreciated the blessing, but... The Gods had gone way overboard.

With a status like this, he could probably live the rest of his life without ever facing real difficulty.

In video games, cheat functions certainly made things easier. But Qiu Nuoya had never liked using them.

He preferred slowly building up his strength through steady effort.

Starting out completely invincible without doing anything... He had never understood what was enjoyable about playing that way.

Some of his friends had told him that grinding levels was nothing but a waste of time.
