Chapter 21
Yes, you shouldn’t be satisfied just because you’ve found water. If you get hungry, you won’t be able to move. If you can’t move, you’ll die. There’s a time limit set for you.
I resumed my exploration. Crawling through vines, pushing through grass and trees, climbing over rocks—
“Oh.”
A beautiful stone lay on the leaf litter. It looked very similar to the magic stone I obtained after defeating the Goblin General.
[Appraisal]
Orc King’s Magic Stone
“So, using [Appraisal] lets me know which monster’s magic stone this is…”
—Wait a second.
Why are magic stones distinguished by the monster they come from? Could it be that the properties of the stones differ depending on the monster?
I opened my status screen on the spot and thought for a moment.
“What would happen if I used [Extraction]?”
Would the monster’s name disappear, turning it into just a regular magic stone?
“No, since I don’t even know what the magic stone is used for, it’s not something I should be thinking about right now.”
I put the Orc King’s magic stone in my pocket for now and continued exploring.
After walking for a while, the forest began to thin out, and sunlight started to filter through.
There, I finally found something that looked like food. A tree about my height had fruits the size of eggs growing on it. I plucked one and held it up to the light. It shimmered with a rainbow hue, beautiful enough to make me want to take a bite immediately, but I restrained myself.
