ALL NOVEL 47- New Title
47- New Title
When we reached the area where we found the old man’s statue and received treasure and the inheritance, I took out the wild boar’s body, wood, and mushrooms.
After that, I arranged the wood and started to make a fire.
Well, right now I have to use the primitive way of producing fire that I learned from television. Using stones and striking them against each other. And when sparks produced fall on the wood, it produces fire. Or I could also use other ways.
But I totally hate things that take a lot of time,
‘Growl’
But for filling my stomach and satisfying my hunger, I can only bear and try these methods to make fire.
After 10-15 minutes, finally, the fire was generated and we cut meat from the wild boar’s body, attached that to a stick along with mushroom, and started roasting.
After roasting for a few minutes, when I felt that the meat should be good to eat, I took out the sticks which were holding the meat and the mushroom. Armelia and I took one stick each and when I took the first bite, the system notification rang.
----------------
‘ding’
‘Host obtained new title: Chef (Apprentice)’
‘Chef (Apprentice): The host has proved his culinary or cooking skills and has been deemed as worthy of a chef’
‘Chef (Apprentice): Whatever food the host cooks or prepares when consumed or eaten gives random buffs to the consumer. The host can also use MP for increasing the power of food’
‘Buffs can be active for 10 minutes’
‘Only one type of buff can be activated at a time. This can be increased as the host improves his culinary or cooking skills. ‘
‘ding’
‘Host has equipped ‘Marathon Runner’, does the host wish to equip ‘Chef (Apprentice)? The host can equip and unequip title anytime.’
‘(YES) or (NO)’
------------------
When I read the Title description, I nodded with satisfaction. And decided to equip the new title.
Although I am not a fan of cooking, but from the system’s notification I can conclude that from today I need to get a new hobby, that is cooking.
‘ding’
‘Strength Stat increased by 1% for 10 minutes’
Well from today onwards, I am definitely taking cooking as a hobby.
1% might sound low, but think about the ingredients used and the process used. They are all low class materials that I used for cooking. And I am also a total rookie in the field of cooking, so in a sense, my skills still have room for improvement. No, I think, I should have a stadium equivalent space for improvement. (My sense of humor level.)
So, what if I used higher grade materials? What if my cooking skills increase?
Then I am sure there will be an increase in the buff's power and the title might also get upgraded. And what if I used MP while cooking, then an even more powerful buff can be obtained.
Thinking about all this, I took some more meat and prepared different sticks, and started roasting them. But this time I was in the mood for experimenting.
So, I told the system to use only 1 MP for cooking the stick which holds meat and mushroom, while using 5 MP for another and 10 MP for the third stick.
As the system executed the command that I gave, I could feel like losing something invisible from my body. And when I checked my MP bar, I understood that my MP decreased.
After a few minutes, when I felt that the meat and mushroom has been roasted enough, I took them out and waited until my first buff is lost. Because the system said that only one buff can be activated at a time, so it would be better to wait until the current buff wears off.
After waiting for a few minutes, I heard the system notification
‘ding’
‘Buff’s effect is gone.’
When I read the notification, I could feel that I lost a bit of power.
So, I took the meat and mushroom on which I told the system to use 1 MP. I ate the meat and mushroom. Once again heard the system notification.
‘ding’
‘Strength stat has been increased by 2% for 10 minutes’
As soon as the notification rang, I could feel my strength increase. And when I read the message, I knew that my ‘strength’ stat increased by 2%.
So, I opened the status window to have a look at my stats,

.
Next to the ‘Strength’ stat, I could see how much percentage of the ‘Strength’ stat has temporarily increased and I can also know how much time is left until the buff expires.
After looking at the status window for a few seconds, I also found that a separate space has been created for the ‘Unequipped Titles’, and that’s a good thing.
Because the title ‘Marathon Runner’ is also helpful in case of emergencies. And if the system said that I need to buy a slot for storing a title then I will be screwed. Just like I had to buy ‘Empty slot for Job’ for 1 million Sikka as my only job slot was filled with ‘Thief’ job. And after I bought the ‘Empty slot for Job’, its price increased to 10 million Sikka. And if the same happened with Titles, then I might have to become a bandit. Because in this world there are no banks for me to become a robber.
But this too also has its own drawback, as I cannot equip two titles at the same time. But I am happy with what I have.
