I Can Make Everything Level UP

chapter-6
Although Billy didn't have much to do, six months passed in the blink of an eye. Some people say that no news is good news, but he didn't believe in that. He was waiting anxiously for the day where some people of the tribe would return after another day of hard work fighting monsters with a few missing limbs. Fortunately, that never happened.

While Billy made quite a bit of progress in those six months, he didn't use his status points or skills points all that much. The reason for that was that he was planning to use them in case something happened. While his mana was high for his age, he had yet to see a single spell appearing on his skill list. Not to mention, he had no idea if magic was something common in that world. So, something problematic might happen if he is caught using magic. He needs to avoid that until he can take care of himself.
Another thing that Billy learned was the fact that apparently, every ten levels, the difficulty of his level up duplicates that was also true for his skills. While that was a bit troublesome, it didn't surprise him since the experience necessary after each level up increased only by ten points before.
"I don't think that I will face monsters anytime soon, but I guess I should start working on crafting my own weapon… the more time I have to make it stronger, the better."
While Billy was only one year old, he already could quite a lot if compared to before. His mother would take him on walks every morning, and he didn't need to be held by the head or even walk while holding her hands. Her legs were strong enough after he increased his strength.
"Billy, do you want to visit granny today?" Camilla asked.
Billy nodded since he was starting to get sick of doing nothing but sitting all day at his home entrance watching other people following their usual routines. While Billy could walk around by himself, he didn't want to worry his mother. Life was simple in the village, but everyone had a lot to do. His mother had to skin the monsters pretty much every day, and that required a lot of time and effort. Speaking of monsters, Billy finally had the chance to see one entirely the other day. The creature was as weird as it could be. While it looked like a giant scorpion, its body was covered in fur instead of a carapace. Even so, the tail of the monster could poison the targets and make them lose their senses. They were also three meters tall and ten meters long, so Billy couldn't help but be amazed that the warriors of the tribe managed to defeat three of those six months ago on the same day.
The meat of that creature wasn't that good, but it was the only thing the villagers could eat aside from plants. However, it was pretty good in restoring everyone's energy. Whenever Billy ate that, he felt truly full of energy.
"I suppose a weapon that grants poison resistance will be good against that type of enemy, but I wonder if spears can grant that ability…"
Considering his knowledge of games and also considering that the system was pretty similar to one, it was safe to assume that only defensive gear would offer that kind of ability. Unfortunately, the people of the village didn't use shields. That being said, Billy used Analyze on his clothes and confirmed that it could be enhanced.
Rough Leather Robe - Lv 00 - 0/10 EXP
Durability: 02/02
That wasn't even funny… in any case. Billy wondered if he should make that level upon focusing on increasing his own strength. He won't wear his current clothes, for long, after all. Maybe he could experiment with it and see the effects he could put on his current clothes. Maybe he could transform it into something else once he grows up. Billy did that and learned that he could only increase the durability of his clothes, and their effects were basically the same as the spear of his father.
"No, something is off… I should have access to other effects with thirty skill points."
Billy managed to make the skill level up six times, so he had thirty skill points indeed. However, no other effect appeared on the list. That meant… he couldn't add all the effects he wanted on some items. He had to consider their quality as well.
"I suppose that explains a lot… it would be weird if this rough attire could have effects like self-healing or self-repair."
In the end, Billy decided to keep leveling up and increasing his skill points. He wanted to obtain a skill that would grant him the power to create items. Earth manipulation should do the trick… at least for starters. A weapon made of the earth shouldn't have a higher quality compared to a bamboo spear. Just when Billy decided that he began to smell smoke. At the same time, his mother felt that and left the hut and then looked toward North, which was the direction Drew leaves every day to protect the village. Billy looked toward that direction as well and found several spots where smoke was rising from the sky.
Camilla returned to inside the hut and then grabbed a spear that was hidden behind their home.. Billy had never seen that one, but he assumed that his mother didn't completely abandon the idea of fighting. Nevertheless, the group that left to fight early in that morning returned, and this time, they returned in a smaller number…
