The Indescribable Diary - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Brain Damage Chop!

He swung his Tai Sword at the monster which found its mark. It was as though his soft body didn’t have any resistance to the blade as a slash emerged on its body.

[. rd = 22, martial art check success]

[Failed to dodge…]

[. r1d6 = 4. You have dealt 4 points of damage!]

[. r1d4 = 1. BD damage increased by 1 point.]

[You have received a Temporary Attribute Reinforcement. You have recovered some health and MP. Your stats will return to normal after battle!]

[. r1d3 = 1. Its intelligence is reduced by 1 point and would not recover in time!]

As his attacks were successful, Yu Yi swore at the notifications that appeared.

This Tai Sword… was it a BUG?! After attacking the enemy, it would gain one statistic point from the enemy. Yu Yi knew this already. However, he thought that these points would immediately be given to Yuming, so he didn’t expect the boost to be applied on himself! At the same time, there were bloodsucking and mana-sucking effects too. Damn! If I attacked thrice every round, I could probably suck the Star Color dry!

Opening his characteristic list, Yu Yi checked his characteristics.

[Investigator: Yu Xing]

[Occupation: Police Detective]

[Notes: No interest in the opposite gender, potentially gay. +20 defence against opposite gender, +20 charm for same gender, -10 defence]

[Strength 12 Agility 14 Intelligence 16

Body Type 15 Appearance 19 Willpower 17

Physique 14 Education10 Damage Boost 1D4

HP 12 MP 15 Sanity value 61

Inspiration 75 Luck 75 Knowledge 50]

Yes, his own characteristics! Apart from his physique, inspiration, luck, and sanity value, all his characteristics had increased by 1 point. That 19 points of APP! 18 was supposed to be the max for humans! Now, he became 19 points all of a sudden! Perhaps, he wasn’t even human!

His MP had always been at max value as he had never used magic before. His HP was at 11 points, down from 14. He had just sucked some blood, which increased his HP to 12 points. Although his willpower increased by 1 point, his san value did not increase. Was he using the 6th version of the game rules? Although his intelligence had increased, his inspiration had not. Alright, it was still pretty good overall.

“KP, wasn’t this Tai Sword supposed to increase all of my characteristics?”

[Uhhh… Physique and Education are useless for you, so I’ve sacrificed them.]

“Emm… would you please sacrifice that 1 point of APP?”

[Huh? You do know that APP is beneficial when you try to charm someone.]

“I know, but…”

Looking at his characteristic chart, he might very well become someone who can defeat the Nanshan Old Folks’ Home and Beimen Kindergarten… If there was no limit, could his APP top 30 points? Damn, Yuming, who had a APP of 21 points, was already exquisite to look at. If he had 30 points of APP, then he would be comparable to Naya! Nope, that would be way too horrifying. He only needed 18 points!

[Alright, since it’s your request…. Why would I give a damn! You can go discuss with her yourself! You don’t own this KP!]

“…”

This KP was definitely chaotic evil…

“KP.”

[Hm?]

“I didn’t call for you. Could you please contact my KP, please?”

Although he was still in an intense battle, the game paused briefly as he called for his KP. Yu Yi opened the system and contacted his own KP.

[Ah, understood. You look pretty beaten down though. After all, that AI doesn’t talk much and just lets you all mess around. Anyway, you either hear the dog bark in the end or see the role of the strongest characters.] The voice of his own KP came through the intercom.

Alright, his own KP was right. The KP he had played with in the game didn’t say much or bother them in general, but now they saw the Star Color. Ghroth, on the other hand, was just here for dramatic effect.

“Then what are your characteristics?”

[Mine… Hmm… My personality is to never forget a single punishment, and I won’t add any skills for you unless you beg me for it.]

“No wonder you didn’t add the last 20 points of Willpower defence for me at the Floating Island… You were more like chaos and evil! At least the KP in this game is principled in doling out punishments. Damn!”

[Don’t worry, I’ll tell you if the evil god comes out…]

“Although you say so, you didn’t tell me about the evil god until the game ended! Which production line produced this shitty KP?! And you seem like you’re from Guang♂Dong!”

[Yuming is currently at a sacrificial ceremony, but gladly agreed after hearing your request. Seems like she likes you more now. Hey, young man, do you like to play games♂?]

“Ass♂We♂Can?”

[You two… stop being gay here! Finish your chat and get out!]

The KP of this game kicked Yu Yi’s KP out of the voice connection. Obviously, he was a Muay Thai fighter and not a philosopher from the sunset.

Alright… no more jokes. Time to continue fighting.

Picking up the Tai Sword, Yu Yi looked at the monster. After being dealt 14 points of damage, it looked uncomfortable. From estimates, its HP should be between 20 and 30.

[Damn it, there’s no more atmosphere now… You just have your fun with it. I don’t think it’ll die.]

Right, there indeed wasn’t any atmosphere left. Yu Yi’s KP and Yu Yi were such a good combination when it came to ruining atmospheres.

“KP, does the enemy move three times per game?”

[You think… At this stage, do you still have the need to play by rounds?]

Fine, they didn’t play by rounds! That was good for him! Time to swing the Tai Sword!

Although the monster was agile, Yu Yi was equally nimble with his 70 points of dodging. However, since Yu Yi hadn’t gone through any proper training, he looked more like he was fooling around. However, he still managed to land a hit.

However, the damage done by the Tai Sword wasn’t even as high as a Shotgun Flying Kick. Although the Shotgun Flying Kick could only deal half its original damage, it still caused a damage of 10 points. Yu Yi’s Tai Sword, meanwhile, only caused 5 points of damage, which reduced 1 point from each of the opponent’s characteristics. In essence, this was the same as 6 points of damage, which still wasn’t as high as the damage done by the Shotgun Flying Kick. But all that didn’t matter against that slow beast!

He dodged the attack by the formless creature effortlessly. With a backhand, Yu Yi slashed at the head of the monster. Critical hit! There wasn’t any decreased damage too as the blade was too sharp!

[. rd = 72. Martial Arts check successful. Weak point attack successful!]

[Enemy dodge check failed]

[. r1d6X2 = 2. You have dealt 2 points of damage!]

[. r1d4 = 4. BD increases 4 points of damage.]

[You have received a Temporary Attribute Reinforcement, as well as 1 point of HP and MP. Will recover after battle!]

[. r1d3 = 2. Your opponent’s intelligence reduces by 2 points!]

The monster wailed as it fell in a pool of its own blood and died on the spot. That Tai Sword attack was 7 points. The critical hit had dealt double the damage. Although the 1d6 roll only yielded 1 point of damage, there were still 2 additional points of damage after the X2 damage. In addition to the 4 points of extra damage and the 1 point of HP that Yu Yi store, the opponent’s HP was reduced to 0.

“How weak… I didn’t even feel like this monster tried to dodge.”

Looking at the monster’s body, Yu Yi squatted down curiously and searched its body. He was puzzled as to why the monster was so weak. After further thought, he realised that there had to be a reason for it. After all, in an infinitely looping space like this, the only creature worth noticing was this monster. He probably had to kill this monster just to get out.

Since it was an inescapable monster, it probably wouldn’t have been designed to be strong. This gave more chances to the investigators that ended up here. If the investigators were destined to die anyway, then why not kill them immediately? Why even give them the chance to wake up?

Yu Yi found a round cup made of a strange cardboard-like material. It was a Mobiusband. He raised the Tai Sword and sliced it into two. Then, Yu Yi heard something shatter. Turning around, he looked for the source of the sound. The darkness before him had disappeared. What replaced it was a strange scene that glowed purple. It looked like a portal.

Taking a deep breath, he reached out and walked into the purple glow. There was no other way.

The moment he entered the purple glow, Yu Yi felt like he was about to suffocate. However, he could still move. He found it difficult to breathe, as though something was gagging him.

Holding his breath, Yu Yi rushed forwards.

At the time, the KP’s dice rattled again. The path before him became blurry as he felt a strange danger. Although he knew he couldn’t get distracted, he still looked towards the danger. It was a scene of destruction. Strange shards floated in the air. On every shard was a different scene. Within the sea of shards, a dangerous vision stared at him from a corner.

It was an indescribable organism, the most dangerous predator of all.

In this instant, their eyes met. Afterwards, Yu Yi broke through this chasm of time.

At this time, Yu Yi experienced no joy or relief. He only had one thought.

“KP! Damn you!!”
