[WN] Shut-In : Chapter 26


Chapter 26

It's About Time


Translator : PolterGlast


It's been ten days since I started holed up in the [Knight's Holy Remains].

After all, it's definitely convenient for training, so I haven't dived into the fifth floor and have continued to stay on the fourth floor.

 

A lot of changes had happened, and at the same time, I was starting to feel my limits.

Now that things have settled down, I think it's time to get moving.

 

The first change is that I've stopped using a watch.

Instead, I use the stopwatch function of the app.

 

The time in this Alistella is the same 24 hours a day as in modern Japan.

There was a slight time lag, but if you correct it, the watch works without any problems.

 

But when it comes to conquering dungeons, there's not much point in knowing the current time.

The inside of the dungeon is always dim, and the strength of the monsters doesn't change between day and night.

 

So I decided to optimize my actions in the dungeon by dividing them into exploration time and sleep time.

 

As a result, I discovered something interesting.

After trying various things while changing my sleep time, I found out the approximate time required to fully recover my mana.

 

Apparently, mana seems to fully recover by sleeping for six hours or more.

 

So I would sleep for six hours, then go on an exploration, and after I was done, I would physically hurt myself, and then go home to rest.

 

After that, I decided to take a method that doesn't neglect any of them by making a series of steps into a set.

 

I raise the LV of earth magic by digging through my mother's gardening while taking a good rest and then using Refresh to restore it to its original state.

I raise the LV of dark magic by meditating in the dark and doing image training on how to use the magic I used before returning home.

 

I made ice in the ice maker, dumped it in the sink, and then filled the ice maker with water again, which was an insane action, which certainly improved my ice magic level, but made my sink look like a fish refrigerator.

 

In this way, I'm engaged in efficient practice without wasting MP.

Perhaps because I've recovered a large amount of MP many times, the level of mana recovery is also growing steadily.

 

As a result, my status is like this.

The agility that had decreased from being holed up has finally returned, but that's not particularly important.

 

What is important is my LV.

My LV is certainly increasing, but... I already feel like I'm hitting a wall with leveling up here.

When I first came here, it was increasing by 10 a day, but now it's only increasing by 3 in 10 days.

 

If I use a game-like expression, I think this is no longer my appropriate hunting ground.

 

I've also gotten quite used to the pain.

Familiarity is a scary thing, and I, who couldn't even think properly at first because of the pain, have now become able to instantly kill wraiths even with a knife stuck in my arm by repeatedly stabbing and recovering.

 

Ten days have passed since I started training to endure pain and checking magic.

I've used all the magic, and I've finished selecting the magic that I can use other than lightning magic and light magic.

I think I'm ready to fight.

 

So, with my newfound strength and readiness, I decided to proceed to the fifth floor.

After finishing the exploration of the fifth floor, I'm going to return to the ground and report the completion of the request for the skeleton soldier's core fragments that Melissa-san had given me.

 

I feel strangely lonely, perhaps because I haven't talked to anyone for a while.

I feel like it's too convenient to feel lonely when I come to another world, but... I'll take it positively that I'm getting out of my reclusive life.
