Can I Become an Adventurer Without Gift?

Pippin, and the noise just creaked and fell from the ceiling, and it hit Hal's face.

"Mmm... Oh, oh, you're back"

With that shock, Hal slowly opens his eyes, moving his fingers, his arms, his legs - the last time he wakes up his body, he checks the functioning of his body in turn.

"[Water mirror starts]... after all, the status has changed properly. - Heh heh, you really got me a gift..."

Whenever I saw it, it was blank. I saw it in the gift section now marked 'Grow' and it spilled nature and a grin.

The last time Diona put her temper on the break, she was also more willing to acknowledge her power.

Speaking of which, the wound almost seems to be healing.

As Cea said, Hal looks around at the body to make sure there are no particularly serious injuries.

"Just didn't the burn heal completely... your hair has changed a bit too"

When I checked my face using the water mirror as a mirror as it was, there remained a little after the burn.

And some of the hair on the burned side had changed from black to red.

I just finished checking myself out, and now I'm checking my surroundings.

Hal had fallen pretty far down the stairs with Salamander.

As far as the vague memories go, I can tell it's fallen pretty deep.

I'll look up, but there's no ceiling there, and I don't know how far that darkness goes.

The walls of the dungeon were embedded with ore that emitted light, so the surroundings were as bright as they could be ascertained.

"... whoa!

When I realized I was on something and looked down, there was the body of a colder salamander.

Because of that salamander and his eyes, Hal flies out of there with a weird voice.

"... did I really knock you down"

Because he was desperate, and he fainted at some point, Hal didn't really feel like he had defeated him himself.

But gradually I get a sense of reality when I see the sole I actually knocked down.

"- Let's just get horns and scales"

Salamander materials are valuable in making equipment, etc., and are expensive to sell and traded.

Hal has been collecting various kinds of information from time to time on demonic features, materials, etc. Therefore, he will identify and collect particularly high materials among salamanders.

"Nevertheless..."

Looking around again, there was a staircase there, which seemed to follow up.

"Do we have to get up from there?"

Once ready to die, Hal was in this situation and showed calm.

I thought I had no gift whatsoever, it was discovered that there was a gift of growth in a special way.

I am excited about the desire to "test this power," so I still suppressed my feelings of fear and anxiety by myself.

Then Hal keeps going up the stairs silently.

I don't know how many steps he went up, but Hal wasn't strangely tired despite climbing quite a bit.

One level increase had enhanced my overall physical function, albeit dramatically, and I was never fatigued to the point of climbing the stairs for as long as I could.

Hal tries on his powers as he moves.

Firstly, flaming armor - this is literally the ability to wrap flames around your body and make it look like armor.

"Eh, you're going to read it..."

With that image, when the name is spoken, a flame is created by trying to burst into Hal's body.

"Whoa, this is amazing. Not hot...... yet"

Hal releases his fist with the flame wrapped around him. And then he turns and kicks, and moves his hand knife and body. The flames remained intact during that time as well.

If others touched the flaming armor, they would feel the heat, but Hull was relieved of it by his skill flame resistance.

"I guess I'm glad I got these skills first"

Confirm your abilities in the water mirror again and squeal like that.

Dragon scales, as their name suggests, can create dragon scales in the body to increase their defense.

"Can you only put it to the extent you decide"

If your skill rank increases, you can cover your whole body with dragon scales, but this was the limit in skill rank 1.

The other one was a brace, but to the extent that I could get a small fireball out of my mouth.

Even if it was more than that, it could not be prevented from flame-resistant, and the inside of the mouth was likely to burn.

It was Hal, who was confirming his abilities, but the stairs interrupt along the way and interrupt it when he arrives at the small square.

- You're here.

Hidden in the shadows, Hal was feeling some sign of someone in the square.

The Lord of the signs was a demon. It is because one has a different and distinct atmosphere that the distinction was made.

"Try using the abilities you get"

Hal checks the demon status in the appraisal.

Race: Icehound

Gifts: Brace (Ice) 1, Ice Tooth 1

"(This one's skill is flaming, is that the guy's skill in ice? just fine)"

Saying so in his heart, Hal quietly approaches Icehound as he sneaks up.

(Not yet!)

Hal rushes over as he activates his skills, where the icehound points in the opposite direction to having Hal.

However, since the footsteps could not be erased, Icehound quickly noticed Hal and looked back whether to help with the wild inquiry as well.

"Damn!

Still, Hull hits the ice hound without stopping the attack.

"Gaaaaaaaa!"

Aware of the hostility that can be directed against him, Icehound opens his mouth wide and intercepts Hull with sharp ice fangs.

Hal attacks with flames against demons with ice bodies.

Ice hounds are usually the first to attack with ice fangs.

Hal, who was anticipating it, lays on the brink. The knife protrudes as he glances over the side of the ice hound.

The knife is also wrapped in a flame of flaming armor, which pierces the body of the ice hound without resistance.

This knife is a delicacy that Hal bought with the money he saved for the trick, enough to pierce the salamander's scales as well.

Then it was obviously also normal for a knife to go through a falling ice hound.

"Gawwwww!"

Hal launches an additional offense against an icehound that speaks as if it were a weak dog.

The increased level is also increasing Hull's agility, and even if the handy icehound tries to escape, it catches up quickly and dozens of punctures are stabbed.

"Kwwwww......"

And that voice. Finally, Icehound was desperate.

[Skill: Brace (Ice), Got Ice Fang]

"Ooh! I heard voices on my head!

Happily gleaming at the words of skill acquisition that resonated in his head with a clear voice, Hal starts a water mirror to check his status.

There, the skills acquired earlier were described.

"Can you really remember the demon skills..."

I wasn't suspicious, but I was actually experiencing the effects of the gift by experiencing the acquisition of skills.

"All right, I'll try to fight more!

Careful, Hal will see if there are any other demons.

There were several kinds of demons on this floor, but Hal dares fight only for the ice hound.

Name: Hal

Gender: Male

Level: 1

Gifts: Grow

Skills: Flame Armor 2, Brace (Flame) 1, Brace (Ice) 2, Dragon Scale 1, Flame Resistant 2, Ice Resistant 1, Ice Tooth 2

Protection: Goddess Cea, Goddess Diona

In a few hours Hal will use a water mirror to check his status.

"Skill Level 2..."

After defeating many of the same enemies, the level of braces (ice) and ice fangs was raised to 2.

And in terms of ice resistance, it was a skill acquired as a result of some individuals having it.

"Yeah, flaming armor's up, too."

Hull had chosen to squeeze into Icehound to analyze when his skill level would rise.

Since the information obtained from the goddess did not show how the skills acquired would grow, it was necessary to analyse them on its own.

This happened as a result of judging from this experience.

① Skills acquired start at Skill Level 1.

② Acquiring the same skills does not increase the level.

③ If you get the same skill, you get something like EXP, and when you get a constant value, the level increases.

• Skills gained gain experience and are equally level-headed by using them.

"What I don't know is if I can just use it to accumulate experience or if I use it to defeat my enemies... well, can I do that later"

Since I understood exactly what I wanted to be sure, Hal decided to be satisfied with the information as it stood for now.

That was a decision not to be in this place forever.

Because there was a risk that if I didn't get back to the city as soon as I could and show my face to the guild, I wouldn't know what the ex-party members would say.
