3 3. Another world system.txt





 After defeating the wolf, I hurriedly begin to examine my surroundings.

 First, I find two dead bodies that must have been torn apart by the wolf.
 Scavenging the corpses, I get some food and tools.

 I didn't feel guilty. It was partly because it was necessary, but more than that, my senses were numb. I would do my best to live, with my shaking body, without thinking about it.

 I will take everything I can take away.
 Because I decided that what this corpse has is what I need here (...).

 I put the gloves I took on my hands, put the cloak over my clothes, and pull the leather bag around my waist.
 I tucked the odd-shaped knife (probably for hand-throwing) into the belt of my jeans as far as it could go, and held the one-handed sword in my hand.

 But there were two bodies and I was alone.
 There were a lot of things I couldn't hold.

 Finally, I put my hands together towards the corpse.
 Then, on my way to the fire-free side of the example, I suddenly look at where the wolf has disappeared.

 A large sword was lying haphazardly on the ground.
 As much as I would like to use this, it's not practical to carry around something that weighs twice as much as a one-handed sword. When I made up my mind to give up the great sword, I saw something shining at the edge of my vision.

 It's a shining green stone.

 There were many jewel-like objects like this among the dead body's possessions.
 Currently, they're just heavy substitutes. I didn't include it in my luggage because I decided that holding something useless would be a threat to my life.

 However, the color of the stone resembled that wolf's fur.

 For the record, it's a sentiment.
 Maybe it's because we were both attacked by those humans, and we felt a sense of familiarity with each other.
 Finally, I picked up the stone and stuffed it in my pocket.

I don't know what to do: ......

 We've done all we can.
 If some kind of hostile creature appears, we have the means to intercept it.

 The decision was to 'wait' or 'move' here.

 The cut on my thigh was shallower than I expected (perhaps it was a reflex to pull my body back).
 However, he was too weak to walk, although the bleeding had been stopped by stopping the pressure.

 If he chose to 'move', there is no doubt that the bleeding would increase and he would lose his strength.
 However, it's also true that it's scary to wait.

 The experience I just had was too scary to 'wait' for someone to help me.
 The wolf too, but most of all - being cut down by a person who asked for help is rooted in my mind.

 So I decide to 'move'.

...... or walk with this sword as my staff.

 I held the one-handed sword to check the feel.
 It's not much of a wand.

'Something better: ....... A good 'tool', I wonder if there's anything better .......

 And as he said that, he looked around again--


[Item]
 Empty


 And then I saw it 'displayed' in the air.

'What ......? What's this: ......?


 The sense of unreality accelerates again.

 And then there is a dry sneer.
 It was clearly 'displayed' like garbage stuck to the retina. Even if you move your vision, that 'indication' doesn't disappear from your field of vision.

"Ha, haha, it's just like--

 It was like a 'game'.
 It was a word I had a hint of.

 Illusion. A labyrinth. Monsters. Giant insects. Giant wolves. Adventurers. Swordsmen. A wizard's fire. A light after death. Jewels - all of which exist in fairy tales and appear frequently in the high road game.

 An illusion of flipping colors and a dizziness as if hanging from the ground hit me.

 So, right away, I admit it to myself.
 There was something about acknowledging it that made it easier.
 I could feel my perspective getting farther away from me, like a dream, but if it would ease my fears, I was okay with it.

'Then ...... first, about me. You can 'show' me.

 For now, I'll just try to put it into words and hope for the right kind of language.

Oh, it's in Japanese.

 The 'display' responded to a somewhat muttered complaint.
 It's a little awkward compared to English characters, but clarity is more important. I read the "view" as it is written in Japanese.

 First and foremost, I was curious about the "ItemEmpty" mentioned earlier.
 If I took the word honestly, it means that I was recognized as having nothing at the moment.

'I've got dried meat, or water, or something else hanging around my waist: ......'

 Nonetheless, this is what happens.


[Possessions]
 None


 I checked again, but apparently I still don't have any.

'Well, I have a general direction for you: ....... I like the game, and I like .......

 I guess the point is whether or not I meet the conditions.
 There are poor, game-like - and inflexible - conditions out there, and I'm not meeting them.

'Perhaps equipment is something that directly affects the fight ....... Something that affects the so-called parameters of .......

 I felt like I shouldn't 'equip' anything other than something that fluctuates in parameters. In other words, it shouldn't be worn or held--.

Is there a bag that often goes into infinity or something like that: ......?

 I check what I'm wearing again.
 I try various things in and out of the bag and open pockets.
 But nothing happens.

Then I go to .......

 Enter: .......

 With that prayer, I held up a piece of dried meat to the empty space as an experiment.
 Then the space twisted languidly and the dried meat was swallowed up.

''--? Hey, sneaky ......!

 As soon as I could, I pulled back.
 It was a physiologically terrifying sight, but it was probably the right thing to do.

'Good. I'll take my 'possessions' again--


【Possessions】
 dried meat


Haha. Yeah, that's very game.

 It was half the result of laughter and half the result of fear.

 But now we have a grasp of one rule of 'possessions'.
 By holding it up in the air with the intention of putting it in, I guess I can put it somewhere (...).

 Yup.
 Somewhere (...) .......

...... This will make it a lot easier.

 It looks like I'll be able to scavenge again for the corpse food and tools I gave up on earlier.
 Through trial and error, I put one thing after another into the air somewhere (...).

 By the way, the corpses of adventurers and small insects did not go in.
 Maybe it was too big - or maybe it's because it's a living thing. It seems that they were played under some conditions.
 Thus, my 'possessions' are--.


【Possessions】
 Dried meat, water sack, anthelmintics, oil, numbing needle, antidote, chasers, Auria's greatsword, leather gloves, leather shoes, cloth clothing, wooden bow, iron knife, unmarked arrows, lighter, smartphone, pebbles, branches, tenth degree magic stone, ninth degree magic stone.


 This was the case.

 Incidentally, the lighter and smartphone were in the jeans I was wearing, so I put them in my 'belongings' after making sure they were safe to take in and out.
 The smart phone tried to communicate, but it didn't connect, as it should have. The smartphone may have been damaged by the impact, as the time was off by several years from the last time I checked. However, it helped that the lights and clock functions were still alive.

'I can get a lot of stuff in there. ....... Most importantly, it helps to have names for things I don't understand. I think it makes the game less difficult, this. No, it helps. ......

 When what looked like a mere powder was labeled 'antidote', my face naturally relaxed.

''We can still try a lot of things--''
"--, ------ --gasp!

 Just when I was thinking of trying it more seriously, the roar of the beast echoed through the corridor.

'Ta, let's try it later: ......

 I've been disappointed because it's all too convenient to happen, but I'm still in the middle of the danger.

 I used the high-priority 'hemostatic potion' (I didn't know how to use it, so I applied it to the rinsed wound) and walked away from the roar, using my sword as a wand to get away from the roar.

 Don't be in a hurry and don't put too much pressure on your body. ......
 I'm going to continue on the path while carefully looking around.

 When I checked my status in the "display", the bleeding had eased and my HP had spontaneously recovered.
 I'm not going to be able to get the same kind of information from you.
