Chapter-27: mapping skill, dungeon floor reset problem
Even the current floor is around 2 kilometers in area all in all. The rooms occupy more area and they are quite big to fight against the beast type monsters. The terrine also has boulders and rocks.
This shows how big the area of the place actually is. Ratika brought a bunch of torches this time and lit them up around her in a special holder back pack behind her. This would hold those torches and light up the place for her to look at the walls of the cave carefully.
She walked around carefully all over the place and finally she only found a small secret compartment in the room right in front of the entrance where Robert is present. Inside the compartment there is a scroll and a book.
This scroll is actually a skill scroll related to the skill "Sword wielding". The book is actually the skill experience book that can give 1000 points of skill experience. Ratika brightened her eyes looking at the two items and she directly used the sword wielding skill scroll.
Immediately she got the skill sword wielding at level 1. As for the skill experience book Ratika did not use it for the time being and carefully placed it in her space. She actually wanted to use it on the skill related to mapping skill after obtaining it.
She will use the skill experience to directly bring the skill to level 10 that would improve her sense stats by few points and also give her extra benefits of finding the hidden things much quickly.
After for skill improvement to level is through practice and she can add extra points when necessary to improve the skill level quickly. This kind of experience points is indispensible. While thinking she continued to search around carefully.
Finding that there is nothing more she marked the findings on the map. Immediately she heard a notification from the dungeon system that she has received the new skill mapping at level 1. She looked happy to check the skill.
"Tring
Congratulations host you have successfully obtained the mapping skill."
With the skill present she wanted to do more but right now she could not do anything. After all she already mapped the area of the second floor and there is nothing more to map. Instead she went to check on the protagonist that was half buried.
After going there she found that the protagonist Robert is still struggling trying to break free from the chains. The muscle relaxant seems to have no effect on him or his luck is too strong to act and making his body stronger or directly ignores the pain and exhaustion.
Seeing him, Ratika was more and more inclined that this protagonist would reach the stairs and go to the next floor tomorrow. Also reaching the stairs would heal him completely and he would come back in full strength.
That is not an acceptable thing to her. But no matter what she does something is happening. She decided to not to think about this matter and started to run over the place to exercise and improve her physical and other stats that she can improve using exercise.
While exercising her mind is constantly thinking about various plans. Keeping the protagonist is no different than willing sitting on a bomb. It is not a good thing and she has to find a solution for this problem.
After exercising for a while she started to cook quite far away from the protagonist. She doesn't want the protagonist to know any of the things she is doing. Even when exercising she maintained caution to not to make much sound here.
She quickly completed her meal and had small exercise before resting. This rest lasted for few hours before it was time for her to exercise again. There is an entire day before the dungeon floor resets.
So she was not in a hurry about anything. She watched the protagonist from time to time and brought in more boulders to place on his back and also put the boulders that are previously rolled down back on his body.
In another room she started to practice archery using bow and arrows. First she would shoot within the first room that is the entry room with small distance. Then she would shoot through the pathway to the connecting room increasing the distance.
Just like that she practiced more and with the memories of her past life she was able to easily work on her aim and precision. But the problem comes with stamina. Pulling the bow string is not an easy thing.
The muscles and nerves should be strong enough to withstand this kind of thing. She only practiced in small parts in the middle. Slowly time passed by and a day has passed by quickly. It was time for the dungeon floor reset.
At this time Ratika observed the protagonist again and carefully nailed his chains to the dungeon floor again. When dungeon reset is happening she did not leave the location of the protagonist. She fears that the protagonist would become free after the dungeon reset.
That is the nails she nailed on the ground would be pulled out or vanishes with the dungeon floor reset. If that happens the protagonist would be free. So as caution she already gave another bigger dose of muscle relaxant to the protagonist and also the sleeping medicine.
The protagonist stopped moving after this and time ticked slowly. Soon there is a strange vibration and it is like a wave passing through the place or something like a monster moving its body. In the next moment the expected situation has happened.
The nails that nailed the chains to the ground actually pulled out by the sudden force and the jolt actually woke up the protagonist. Fortunately Ratika did not leave and stayed on the spot. She quickly went to nail the chains into the ground again quickly.
