Chapter 44 Tier 1
Fresh out of the bathroom, Nathan immediately wants to rest his tired body.
"Agh, I'm so tired today. Sigh…"
But before he went to his own room, first he entered Natalie's room.
"I can't let her sleep the whole night in my shabby thatch."
Taking out Natalie from the space, he gently put her on her bed.
Looking at Natalie, peacefully sleeping on her bed, Nathan started to reminisce about the past.
"Time really passes so fast, you're already turning into such a fine young woman. It was like yesterday when you were still playing in the mud."
Caressing her hair slowly and gently so as to not wake her up.
After one last sigh, Nathan got up and left her room.
He headed into his own room and lay down on his bed.
With his hand on his head, he started thinking about his life so far.
"Everything's been going great… I hope it can stay like this forever."
While wishing for a stable future, Nathan slowly drifted to sleep.
…
"Brot… w...ke up, I'm… hu...gry!"
Early in the morning, the sun hasn't shine yet.
Nathan, who was sleeping peacefully, was suddenly awakened from his rest with a shake.
"Brother, get up!"
He slowly opened his eyes to take a look at what all the ruckus is about.
Then he saw Natalie, who's holding her stomach with a painful expression on her face.
Still feeling sleepy, Nathan yawned,
"Ugh... Yawn~ Tal? You're awake. What's the matter?" He asked with a languid voice.
"Brother, I don't know why I'm so hungry, my stomach hurts!" said Natalie with a big frown on her face.
It seems like the pain is really too much for her.
For Nathan, he was able to endure for a while that time since he is someone who cleanse his body using the body enhancing pill.
But Natalie is not the same as him.
That's why, right now, the pain of hunger is really becoming too much for her to handle.
Noticing that, Nathan's sleepiness disappeared.
"Oh, right, right!"
He hurriedly grabbed his phone and took out the foods he bought yesterday from the storage.
Suddenly, out of thin air, food appeared on the bed, still hot and ready for consumption.
"Hurry up, dig in!" said Nathan,
Natalie was surprised, but her hunger took over her and she did not dwell on it for long.
She rushed towards the food like a beast that was starved for a long time. Not caring about her appearance, she stuffed the burger into her mouth, cleaned it after a few bites then grabbed a piece of chicken and gnawed at it.
Nathan watched her for a few seconds before he left the room with a nonchalant expression.
He's not surprised at Natalie's behavior. He's been through it before so he knows just how unbearable that hunger feels.
So, not bothered, he went to the bathroom and washed his face, brushed his teeth, and fixed his face.
After he's done with all that, Nathan does not immediately leave. He still has something he wants to check.
Last night, after completing the mission, his reward, [Skill Upgrade Card], was automatically stored at the storage inside his space. The gold points were also already added to his gold points.
Nathan wants to check if it's really there. Not that he doubts the system, he's just curious.
He took out his phone then tapped on thatch house that has the storage space, and a list of things that was stored inside appeared on the screen.
"Hmm… there it is."
Looking for a second, he found what he's looking for.
Taking it out from storage, a silver card with a metallic sheen appeared on his hand.
"Oooh!"
Nathan looked at the card carefully.
There seems to be something written on the sides of the cards but Nathan doesn't know what it is, he just instinctively knew that it was some sort of writing.
And in the center of the silver card, a green arrow, pointing upwards was drawn.
Nathan felt a mysterious power being contained inside that arrow.
Curious about it, Nathan used his appraisal on it to see if he can get more information about it.
"Appraisal."
[Skill Upgrade Card: a consumable used to upgrade a skill by 1 level. To use it, you just have to think of the skill you want to upgrade. It was made by the profession, Card Maker.]
"Hais… there's not much in here. Well, the usage is there at least."
Nathan sighed as he read the result of the appraisal.
But thinking about it, at least he learned something new.
Looking at the card on his hand, Nathan can't help becoming curious about the profession mentioned in the appraisal.
"Card Maker huh… I wonder what it's like…"
After letting his mind wander for some time, Nathan got rid of those thoughts and focused on what he needed to do.
"I should not think too much about unnecessary stuff and proceed with what I have to do."
Holding the silver card tightly in his hand, Nathan thought about the skill that he wants to upgrade, the [Appraisal Skill], which is also the only skill that he has at the moment.
A few seconds later, a ball of light came out of the card and shot through Nathan's forehead before disappearing inside his body.
As that happened, the silver card on his hand also started to crumble into dust.
Nathan felt something inside of him suddenly becoming 'bigger' but he can't pinpoint what it is.
He concluded that it must have been the skill being upgraded.
"Did it work?"
Nathan looked at his reflection on the mirror and hurriedly used the Appraisal skill on himself to see what changes the upgrade brought.
"Appraisal!"
[Name: Nathaniel Fernandez

Soul Talent: Omnipotent Villager (Tier 1)
Skills: Appraisal (D)

Nathan immediately saw the new things from the appraisal.
There's no big changes to it, however, this lets Nathan make a new discovery.
"Tier 1?"
