“Hnnnnng~ that was way too much sitting around and sorting out my skills” I talk to myself as I lift my arms and stretch my back
“But it was worth it, I finally have some structure in my status” (Aria)
After accidentally finding out that I can design and move everything in my status around however I want I tested some things out
And yes you heard correctly, accidentally finding out
Anyways, the end result looks something like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That´s what I call a proper “status”, not the mess I had before.
But before I get to talking about the rest of it
While sorting, at some point the “clothes” options just appeared
I don´t know what I did to make it appear, but I have to anticipate my status to not be complete by now
Either way, it is weird how I actually had to be reminded that I´m not wearing anything
Advertisement
I got so used to walking around naked that I didn´t even realize something was off
I think you didn't imagine me as naked the whole time either, or did you? You perv… Jesus that was sketchy. Well, but with this the drawers will have some hardships if this ever gets serialized. Maybe the author will even have to rewrite this part? That would be a drag…
What?
Anyways, the point is, I´ll have to get my hands on some clothes if I have the time
Especially if they come with additional “Effects”.
Maybe I could make something from leaves and lianas?
Well important matters first, let´s get to my skills for real now.
Most of them are pretty self-explanatory for anyone who has played some RPGs before
Or at least knows how the system works
There´s really no way I somehow misunderstood the skills I put in the “resistance” and “enhancement” named part.
Then there are my “extra skills”
Now, this is interesting
I´m pretty sure I can conclude that skills from before I got this body got carried over to this new one I have
For example [absolute pitch] is probably perfect pitch
You know, that thing where people know a frequency of a note just by listening
I had it since I can remember and it helped me out quite a lot in my music lessons
Also my high [Dexterity] stat most likely comes from me having practiced piano for quite some time
You see, I am pretty confident in the coordination of not only my hands but also my whole body
You could say I´m one with my body or something like that
So naturally my [dexterity] stat would be high.
But, speaking of being one with my body, weirdly enough I´m as comfortable in this body as in my real one
Advertisement
No, “real” is the wrong word, as in my previous body
Anyways my point is, I thought for sure that I´d need some more time to get used to the… let´s call it transfer, but I had no significant issues whatsoever
Rather I´m feeling kinda settled in
Well, better for me I´d say.
Back to the perfect pitch part, apparently perfect pitch is connected with the capabilities of the mind and not the body. That would solve a long unsolved question, not that it matters to me right now, but it´s interesting nonetheless
There is also the possibility I am just lucky enough to be 1/10000 people twice in a row, but…
Either way, let´s move on from that.
What´s more interesting is that perfect pitch, just as dexterity and concentration enhancement, are perceived as skills.
I mean, just hypothetically speaking
If I were to compare the “status” I have now and a “status” I know from games, then the ones in most games would only show skills related to
fighting or using magic and the sorts
The one I have now however is showing me “daily live skills” too.
But strangely enough, only some are shown as “skills”
For example why is concentration or dexterity counted as a skill but things like speaking, writing or even walking not?
How and at what point are skills evaluated as “skills”?
Well if I think about it, I really wouldn´t be happy if my status was full of useless information either
Like, “congrats! You´re able to frickin´ breathe! Magnificent!”
Yeah thanks but no thanks
Jokes aside though, I find my status page very comfortable, too comfortable even. Not that I´ll complain about something being good
Well I´ve sorted the status on my own, of course it would be comfortable to some degree
Anyways, the next skill-set would be the “information gathering skills”
I probably could just put them together with my “extra skills”, but I felt like separating them because they are unbelievably valuable skills
As I´m weak physically, information is a necessity
So I gave those skills a special podium to sit upon.
Then there are the “support skills”
For now there´s only “healing magic” in there though.
But speaking of magic, let´s not forget my “Magic skills”
If I understand correctly I´m comparable to a certain last air bender plus have dark magic in my “magic skill” department.
I at first wasn´t sure if “mineral control” was something like an earth element
But by looking at the level cap of the other “magic skills”, which are more explicitly described, I think it´s pretty safe to assume that “mineral control” is similar to “earth magic”.
I mean, rocks and pretty much earth are minerals, right?
And moving to the last “skill set”, it is pretty self-explanatory too
I really don´t know what to think of the skills listed there
Like, I am enough "exhausted" already, I don't need any more of that thank you very much
Honestly speaking though, [Exhaust] is probably meant to be cast on others, but as there is no other I´ll just leave it for now
Don´t want to accidentally harm myself
Well I´m pretty sure you get the gist of the “still unknown/unsure skills” with only that example.
And with I´ve talked enough, I want testing, my body feels sore from just sitting around all the time
Before I notice I've already left my snugly cave
I´m getting excited
I so badly want to check out my magic skills…
