第２掘：ステータス！！ お約束すぎるわ…
Dig 2: Status!! This is too cliché...
This is too cliché...
For now, I'll start talking with Luna while drinking tea in my room.
By the way, all my personal belongings from my room on Earth have been moved here. Apparently, electricity can be used by converting magic power... well, let's leave the difficult stuff alone.
Since I've had it set up so I can watch the internet and TV, I should be able to see them as long as Earth doesn't get destroyed.
"Well then, all that's left is for you to see and understand your own abilities. There's no point in me being your opponent for combat practice, so you'll have to learn here."
"Got it. So, how do I see those abilities?"
"You just have to say, 'Status!!'"

Okay, she's a goddess, as expected. I don't know if her stats are low or high, but her age went up to the tens of millions... I'll admit it, Luna is a goddess.
"Why are you only looking at my age?! Be surprised by my other stats!!"
"No, I don't know the standard, so there's nothing to be surprised about. That's why I compared the age, which I *can* understand."
It was a perfectly logical theory.
"Hurry up and open yours too!!"
"Alright."
My apologies, but I have no reason to shout 'Status,' so I'll do it without incantation.

I have a lot of skills. Luna's are too high to be a reference, so I don't know if my stats are high or low.
"Hmph, as expected of someone from Earth, your magic power and intelligence are off the charts."
"Wait, doesn't Earth not have magic power?"
"No, that's not it. It's just that it wasn't utilized. It wasn't necessary, was it? For living."
I see, so there just wasn't a situation to use it.
"So, since I can't tell by comparing with Luna, I'd like you to tell me."
"Right, I suppose I'll tell you the average for now. The average stats for an 18-year-old male living in this Arowlit are..."
As Luna was about to display them, I stopped her.
"Hold on a second, why am I 18? I'm 26."
"Well, of course, I'd choose the age with the best performance."
This goddess can even make people younger...
"These are the averages for this world."

I see, my stats are basically about average, except for magic-related ones.
It's probably unavoidable that my strength is a bit inferior; in this era, which is like medieval Europe, there are likely many professions that require physical labor.
But how are stats like strength calculated? I wondered, and asked Luna...
"Oh, strength is simpler than you think. Think of strength as attack power, and then subtract defense to reduce HP. How many hits do you think it would take to reach zero?"
"I see, it would take about 10 hits to deplete 150 HP. If a full-power punch lands squarely, I'd die."
"Exactly. Well, it rarely goes exactly like that because of guards and critical hits."
"Oh, right, you have the 'Omni-Appraisal' skill, so try looking at your subordinate slimes and goblins."
"Understood."
Saying that, I summoned one slime and one goblin. It's convenient because I can summon them with the Dungeon Skill 'Monster Summon.'
Now, let's explain monsters. Monsters can be summoned from the dungeon's summoning circle using my magic power.
So, the breakdown of 300 DP is: both the Goblin Summoning Circle and Slime Summoning Circle cost 50 DP, and the maintenance cost for one monster is 2 DP, meaning there are 50 goblins and 50 slimes wandering around.
This cost will probably skyrocket as the monster's rank... its rarity increases...
Now, let's check their stats.

"Huh? Their levels are higher than mine... or rather, slimes in this world are strong."
The strength of slimes varies in stories and games. They're soft-bodied, or rather, liquid lifeforms. There are many settings where they can only be defeated by magic or fire. Actually, their weak image is due to Dragon Que○t. Even in that game, if you raise them to level 99, they can become legendary.
"What are you saying? Even if their levels are higher than their summoner's, their stats aren't that... *cough*, what are those slimes and goblins?! They have too many skills!! And despite their levels, their stats, especially MP and Intelligence, are off the charts!! Earth is truly terrifying."
Luna must have used her own appraisal, as she was rolling with laughter looking at the goblin and slime.
Looking at the two monsters' stats, I thought. If they have this much intelligence, does that mean they're smarter than humans?
I directly posed the question to Luna.
"Ah, stats represent potential. Can you always fully draw out your current abilities?"
"So, even if their intelligence is superior, they still need to learn?"
"That's right. No matter how much intelligence they have to learn 100 things, if they haven't learned a single one, they'll be inferior to someone who has learned one. Strength, defense, and agility are straightforward, but intelligence is different. Humans find it easy to raise, but monsters find it difficult."
I see. So, I can teach these guys to study and even do money calculations in the future. For now, I'll drill tactics into them. Without that, neither I nor they will survive.
"Well then, I'll be heading back soon. You can contact me using that online shop over there. Maps of this place are also sold for DP, so do your best. It's a location where both people and monsters will come, so as long as you manage well, you won't run out of DP."
Saying that, Luna stood up from her seat, and I watched her leave while remaining seated.
"She really cut corners on a lot of things. She could at least tell me the location and the relationships between countries."
"Oh, it would be boring if you knew everything right away, wouldn't it? Fumbling around is good for growth."
And with that, Luna vanished.
In the end, the environment has been set up, but I have no idea what kind of location I'm in... Still, exploring on my own would be reckless. For now, I guess I'll just hole up in the dungeon and play some games.
And so, the first day passed...
