t was a similar type of ruins that held Tsukiyomi. Seeing made me wonder if there was another Ethereal hidden within its walls. Well, long story short we defeated all of the monsters reached the end of the ruins got one piece of treasure, and was transported out. The ruins then disappeared well that"s the summary anyway.

The treasure in question was a ring "Satt Sjon" which was what Tsukiyomi called it. It"s a relic of an ancient war. What does it do it gives the bearer the sight to see the status of an object, person, and such. It will give me an in-depth description into my mind, as long as I look at the object and want to know its status it will show it to me. I tested it out on me and Tsukiyomi. This gave me a huge shock.

What the heck it could even read my past life, but then what was the (Past) ???. Does that mean I have more than one past life, but the ring couldn"t read them... Also what with the (Hidden) ??? in my mana... Well, it doesn"t matter anymore, what"s in the past stays there. The current me doesn"t need to know about it. I then checked on Tsukiyomi"s stats.

What"s with this difference! When I spar with Tsukiyomi I do not feel this helpless, well obviously she"s going easy on me but I never thought it was by so much. I told her what I saw and she said

"Never tell anyone!"

"Tell what?"

"My age you uncouth idiot!"

Well I guess the path toward being the strongest wasn"t going to be that easy. I also checked my weapon"s statues.

After the incident in the ruins, we went to the nearby town where we gathered some information about the slave trade. We found out that Pinlang Baham had a special way to sell their slaves. Upon acquiring a slave they would train it for about a year then and only then would they sell it.

They sell the slaves once per month. So with this information, the time limit to save Eri and Gerard will be exactly a year after their kidnapping. At first Tsukiyomi suggested that we just go in and kill the slave traders and their guards. That won"t do there is a huge risk of using the slaves as hostages. So we need to wait it out and strike at the opportune moment.

While going back to our campsite I reviewed what I found out about Satt Sjon.

While we were walking in the village I used status check on a lot of people. On using it I found out that if I wasn"t introduced yet the Name will always be ???. After introductions then and only then did the status change from ??? To the name of the person.

So there are limitations to the scanning of statuses. Well this time I"ll test it on some monsters. I told Tsukiyomi what I was going to do she simply yawned and said to have fun. So it seems like I"ll be going alone.

I finally found a monster, so I used status check.

I see I was jumping from tree to tree so the ogre didn"t notice me. No point in killing it so I just pa.s.s by. I looked for more monsters to a.n.a.lyze.

That was when I noticed the huge a.s.s spider that I beaten once before at the forest back home. Let"s see what a B cla.s.s monster status is like.

Wow that"s really strong but compared to before I"m way stronger now so if I fought that it would probably be easier.

I continued looking at other monsters but after a while I got bored and started heading back to the campsite. That was when I felt a huge wave of killing intent. I looked back there I saw a huge monster about three meters tall its body was bulky and muscular. It had black horns and its fur was brown. It looked like a demonic bear of some sort. Status Check

Name: ???

Age: 90

Gender: Male Race: Rikon (king of the forest)

Strength: 15,000 Resistance: 20,000

Agility: 10,000 Magic Resistance: 16,000

After looking at the stats of the monster, I decided that fighting it wouldn"t be worth it so I was about to leave when I finally noticed that I was surrounded. Because I was so excited about my new toy I wasn"t able to sense the incoming enemies. I sighed at myself as I felt dejected. 

"d.a.m.n it you monsters! After I"m done with you all, I swear I"ll cook and eat all of you just to get something out of this fight." 

Even though I said that truth is the moment I saw the stats of the monster and seeing that I was surrounded made me feel ecstatic.
