After seeing the character menu, Seth was surprised.

"So I really am level 1, huh? Did I get a slime Killer title by just killing that 1 slime? Well to be fair, it was level 5. But even if its level was higher than mine, its stats are roughly weaker than mine."
He then looked at his race which was quite odd.
"Humanoid?"
He began to touch his naked body to see if there was something different but there was none. He assessed that he was for certain still a human- well having a human body.
"By the way, I killed that level 5 slime but didn't level up? Geez! One thing I hate about playing games is grinding... ahhh..."
He was frustrated that he had to do the tedious job of grinding to level up.
"It would've been ok if this auto-battle skill can help me but after what happened earlier, I'm doubting myself from using it again. But..."
He looked at his unique skill again.
AUTO-BATTLE (lvl 1/10)
Activates the inner voice of the user to take control of the body and actions whenever
the user is in danger. Acts with adequate intelligence.
(activation prompt includes encountering higher-level enemies within a 25-meter radius).
This skill adds 20% bonus stats to all stats.
Message prompt for activation needs permission.
Mana cost: 21+1 every lvl
Duration: 31 secs+1 every lvl
Cooldown: 49 secs-1 every lvl
"It adds 20% bonus stats to all of my stats when I'm in this Auto-Battle mode. It really sounds appealing but if my body refuses to dodge just because he knows it can win the fight without moving, it is still a big downside. Although I can solo a level 5 slime tanking all his hits, the pain still hurts damn it."
He then looked at his inventory.
CHARACTER INVENTORY:
1x slime essence
1x slime dust pouch
1x grass
"Slime stuff? I guess it auto-picks the items. But I didn't get a notification that I had put it in my inventory. Maybe in Auto-Battle mode, it auto-loots items as well? That does sound pretty convenient."
After fully healing from the fight and feeling a bit okay now, Seth decided to try fighting another Slime. This time, more prepared than earlier.
He walked towards the grass fields again to find another slime to fight. Within a few seconds, he already found one.
NOTICE:
A higher-Level enemy within 25 meters in front of you.
Activate unique skill:auto-battle? YES/NO
A slime then popped up from a small bush.
"Nice. But before I activate my auto-battle mode. Let's do this first. Attack enhancement lesser."
He felt a red aura in his body as the boost was taking effect.
"So it really does take a full 2 seconds to cast my skills. I should get some items to boost my spell-casting time in the future. A mere 2 seconds lost is detrimental against stronger enemies after all. Wait a minute, can I just think about the casting of the skill in my mind instead of saying it out loud? Cause I remember earlier that I didn't shout the word yes when choosing to activate my auto-battle skill. I just thought about answering yes in my mind to respond to it. Well here goes, I'll try it with my other basic skill."
He thought about using the basic skill, defense enhancement lesser in his mind and it began to cast itself on his body within the 2-second spell cast time. A faded blue aura then surrounded his body.
"Okay, I'm ready to kill this stupid slime."
He activated his Auto-battle battle mode and began charging at the slime. His body threw a big punch and the slime retaliated with a head butt.
"It still hurts damn it! Ah, forget it. I'll just finish this up quick."
While in the middle of the fight, his red and blue aura was beginning to disappear and then he realized that the duration was quite quick. He cast them both simultaneously in his mind and they began to come back. Before killing the slime, he looked at his total stats with all his current buffs.

"So it only multiplies from the base stats. and adds the percentage together. I guess that's simpler to keep track of now."
He finished the slime and heard a notification pop up.
LEVEL UP!
He waited a while before all the buffs wore off so he can see his raw stats after that level-up. He then brought out his character profile again to see his stats.

"My hp and mp doubled? And my attack is just as strong as a buffed-up one? My raw stats jumped so high just from that one level."
Seth was having fun. He was now motivated to level up more after seeing those big number boost from one level.
"This is fun! I can do this all day! oh, wait."
He realized that the character profile only shows the total of each stat. After that battle with the slime, his stomach was still aching a bit. He then looked in the bottom portion of his character profile and saw that his hp and mp were still low and were regenerating.
"I guess I'll come back to my resting place for now and regenerate my hp and mp."
While resting, he then looked at his beaten self and sighed. He forgot that he was still naked. He tried to look at his inventory if there was something to use.
CHARACTER INVENTORY:
2x slime essence
1x slime dust pouch
3x grass
"Can I even craft in this world? Let me see. Oh, I can. But hmm... I have so few materials to use."
He browsed around on what he can craft with the grass in his inventory and he saw something he can craft.
GRASS CLOAK:
requirements= 2x slime essence + 30 grass
stats: +250 flat hp and 100 flat mana
"Time to collect some grass while regenerating my hp and mp."
He collected all the grass within the vicinity until he met the requirement to create the grass cloak. He collected some more in hopes to use them in the future.
Create Grass Cloak: Yes/No
"Yes"
All the materials he used up disappeared from his inventory and appeared a Grass Cloak in his inventory.
He then got his Grass cloak out of his inventory.
"This Character menu sure is convenient. I don't physically need to click buttons, I just operate everything from my mind. Every time I pick up a physical object to put in my inventory, it also just vanishes and appears as an icon in my inventory. And when I want something out, I just think of bringing it out and it appears in front of me."
He put the Grass cloak on his body and the stats were instantly applied.
"It's good that this cloak locks and covers my front end. Still, it is cold down there."
