I move stealthily, keeping close to the wall. So, ever since I ate those three monsters a little while ago, my red stamina meter has once again gotten stuck at its maximum value. Hmmm? Sure, it was a lot of food; eating just one of those things was almost enough to max me out, but… Now that I think about it, could this maybe be the result of my [Overeating] skill? If I eat more than I need, does the excess get stockpiled somewhere? This effect did start happening after I acquired that skill, after all… Hmm, this doesn’t seem like such a wild guess.
<Proficiency has reached the required level. Skill [Appraisal – LV6] has become [Appraisal – LV7]>
Oh? OH?! OHHHH?!?! [Appraisal]!! Miss [Appraisal], you came!! What a glorious day!
Is it okay if I get my hopes up a bit, since you got way more awesome last time? It’s okay, right? You wouldn’t let me down, right? We’ve cleared that hurdle already, getting this high, right? You’re not going to crash into it, right? Now, the results are…?!

Eh? Really? Seriously?! I’m not seeing things, right?! Oh. Oh! Ohh! WHOOOOOAAAHHHHHH?! Skills!! My skills showed up!! Miss [Appraisal], you do excellent work! You cleared that hurdle splendidly! Yahoo! You’re really making something of yourself!
[Appraisal], you’re seriously amazing! Thank you so much. Seriously, thank you! With this… with this, I can finally double-Appraise all of the skills I know nothing about and get a description! So… whoooo’s… FIRST?!
Right, first up is [Overeating], since I was just thinking about it.
{Overeating: A skill which makes it possible to eat beyond one’s normal capacity. The stamina that would have been gained from the extra food is stockpiled for future use; however, this causes the user to become fat. As the level increases, the amount that may be stockpiled increases.}
Ah, aaaah… Oh ho! It’s just as I thought! In other words, it’s a skill that, after I eat a ton, stops my Stamina from going down for a while. I’ll get fat, though, huh? Am… am I fat?! I don’t know how I feel about that. I mean, I’m a spider, so is it really that bad? If I were human, of course, it would be a huge drawback.
Next is… this, I guess!
{Strength: A skill which applies an increase to your physical offensive capabilities, proportionate to its level.}
Huh. Is that what that is? Just a basic stat-boosting skill. Oh that’s right, after I leveled up, this skill leveled up too. When I leveled up my offensive power went up by 2 instead of 1 like some of my other stats did; maybe that’s thanks to this skill. So that must mean…
{Solidity: A skill which applies an increase to your physical defensive capabilities, proportionate to its level.}
Aha, just as I thought, this skill’s the defensive version of [Strength]. Umf, the effect might be a little weak, but since my stats are such garbage, I’ll take every tiny little boost I can get.
Let’s keep going! Next is… this one, that I’ve never seen before. It’s level two, so it must have leveled up at some point… did I miss something the “Voice of Heaven” said?
{Skanda: A skill which applies an increase to your speed, proportionate to one hundred times its level. In addition, when leveling up, this skill increases your base Speed statistic by ten times the level of this skill.}
Huh? Ahh… uh… huh? Ah… is that why my speed was so ridiculously fast, huh… right… right… WHAAAAAAAT?!
Wh… what the heck is this ridiculous skill? I thought for sure that my entire species was this fast, but it was this?! Whoa. [Skanda]… is this the special privilege of a transmigrated soul?! Oh! Is that it?! Thank the gods! An amazing rare skill, bestowed upon me at birth? Transmigration privilege is awesome! I didn’t earn the nickname Idaten in that MMO for nothing! Hee! I’m getting pretty hype!
Now… what’s this other skill I haven’t seen before?
{n% I = W: Impossible to appraise.}
Uh? “Impossible to appraise”? What the heck? …Huh. After all that, a fumble. Well… just from the name, this kinda looks like a bug. I don’t really like not knowing what it is, but if I can’t Appraise it I guess it can’t really be helped. I just hope it doesn’t have a detrimental effect, that’s all.
I take a moment to collect my thoughts, then check the next skill.
{Taboo: A skill earned by breaking taboos. You must not raise this skill.}
Whoa. This is a profoundly mysterious description. It seems kinda obvious, though, that this is some kind of penalty, like a curse. Ugh, I don’t want this. “You must not raise this skill,” it says, but it’s already level 2… Seriously? Maaaan… that killed my hype.
