Chapter 8: The next skill to choose

“Damn ……!”

I was desperate when I realized that I could not defeat Bugbear with Acceleration.

　At first, I was excited by the unparalleled effectiveness of Acceleration.

But when I realized that I had wasted my time and energy choosing [Acceleration], I began to feel a sense of desperation.

However, I could not allow myself to stop advancing.

　After all, at the moment of death, time returns to the moment just before the first attack from the Bugbear.

If I do nothing because I am in shock, I will just die.

　I know I know this, but I can’t seem to turn it off.

“I hate it……”

　So I decided to remember.

　Namia.

　I thought about Darga, the man who killed Namia.

　And the villagers who falsely accused me.

“I hate it, I hate it, I hate it…….!”

　Hatred is my greatest driving force.

　If it were not for this hatred, my heart would have been broken long ago.

I will definitely escape from the dungeon and take revenge with my own hands.

　With renewed determination, I started walking again.

　About the 305th attempt.

　I had once again reached the room with the treasure chest.

So, if [ Acceleration ] and [ Stealth ] are no good, what will be the next skill to choose?

The only S-rank skill that might be useful is [Enhanced Recovery].

It may be a skill that can heal quickly even if I am injured, but in the first place, I often die instantly if I get hit by a blow.

It seems to me that it is meaningless to choose “Enhanced Recovery” after all.

　So, I guess I would have to start looking for skills from the lower ranks.

First of all, A-rank skills involve only magic.

The magic-related skill is the “Magic Power Generation” skill, which is meaningless unless you possess magic power in your body, so it is naturally eliminated.

　The only A-rank skill that has nothing to do with magic is “Memory Enhancement,” but I have no idea what use such a skill would be in my hands.

So, the next step is to choose skills from the B rank, but even those B rank skills are all based on the assumption that the person has a weapon.

　For example, “swordsmanship” is not effective unless you have a sword in your hand.

　Therefore, these skills are useless for me, because I don’t have a weapon in my hand.

　However, there is only one B-rank skill that assumes you don’t have a weapon.

Well, if I go in order, it is this one.

　That skill is —- [body art].
