Volume 1 - Ch 102

I've started to understand quite a bit about the revival of monsters.
An average of about 10 hours after you kill the boss monster of the room something like a haze outbreaks in the center of the room and the new boss is born. The age of the newly born boss is obviously 0 years old but it's level is somewhat high from the start. And there was something among their details that I had overlooked until now. They have no listing for experience points under the items with Identify.
Whether it be Ralpha, myself, other humans, or non-humans if I use Identify on them the very last items on the Identify list are experience points and the amount of experience points to the next level. However, whether it be the goblins or the something or other spider, the monsters inside of the dungeon have listing for experience points.
I wonder if the monsters in the forest near Bakuddo or the Horned Bear had them? I usually don't bother remembering something like that.
At the very least the monsters in the vicinity of Bakuddo had children and babies, and raised them.
I've seen a small baby goblin and I killed both mother and child of a Horned Bear as well.
I've seen an individual that appeared to be the child of a Hobgoblin as well. However, at the very least inside of the dungeon they appear to be adults but I've never even once seen an individual in the process of growing or a child.
What I can guess based on the details of the revival I've been investigating is that the monsters inside of the dungeon might look similar to those outside but be something completely different. Or maybe the monsters outside of the dungeon are the same as the ones inside and being born from a haze somewhere? Well, I'm not a scholar so things regarding the reproduction and ecology of monsters don't matter at all. Rather than that it's fine as long as I can understand the behavior patterns, thought processes, attack methods, and special skills of them. It's something that might eventually be clarified academically but I'm sure that's not my duty.
I've still only seen a handful of revivals so I haven't gained full confidence in it yet but at the current point these are the common factors of it:
1. After killing the room boss a new room boss will be born in an average of about 10 hours.
2. It's no guaranteed that the new room boss will be the same type of monster as the previous room boss.
3. The new room boss appears roughly 5-6 minutes after the haze springs forth.
4. The new room boss that has just appeared can't move well.
5. During the period of time after you kill the previous room boss before the new one revives the monsters that wander around in the halls sometimes enter the room (In other words, even if you've killed the room boss the room doesn't become a safe area).
Is what I found out. Between those points as long as I know this much it's plenty. Just knowing that after you kill the room boss for several hours it will be in a state where there's no boss is a big step forward in terms of information.

Year 7443, Month 2, Day 14
Ralpha, Bel, and I all had our birthday and turned 15 years old. Accompanied by the increase in age all of our HP has increased by 1 each but there was no change to Ralpha and my ability points. Only Bel's Speed increased by 1 point along with a total increase of 2 HP points. I wonder if it's differences in growth between races?
The night of that after we returned from dinner, I called the two of them to my room in the Boil Manor. As presents for their birthday I gave Ralpha some durable leather gloves and Bel a hat for Rabbit-people race which allows just the ears to come out of it. I was the only one who received an inverness during Christmas last year, so I splurged on something that was reasonably high-quality. I sewed both of their names into them. Ono Misa and Soma Asuka. Don't underestimate the sewing skills of someone who went through Self-Defense college. It was the first time since I was born that I sewed someone's name but let alone attaching buttons, I was even able to patch things up. And my sewing needle is the same as my sword it's a specially made one forged with steel and sharpened.
"Al-san, thank you very much. I'll take good care of it."
Bel smiled as she was delighted to receive it and immediately put it on. Yeah, it looks good on you.
"Eh? It has my name on it..Wait, this, did Al put it on? You're extremely good at sewing. Was sewing your hobby? But isn't that a bit of a depressing hobby for a man?"
Yo..You really. At least say a word of thanks. And what do you mean depressing? That's prejudice right. In the past there were plenty of skilled male tailors.
