Chapter 10: Epiphany and Fork Party
Gerald attempts and succeeds in absorbing a part of himself, gaining the ouroboros title. As he has the self-repair skill, this allows him to easily gain proficiency in both absorb and self-repair, although the speed is limited by his mana pool. Doing this does not give him any experience, new skills or traits.

Gerald finds out about the games in the system and starts to play minesweeper to pass the time.

Then he finds out about the party function, and invites Ferdinand to his party, 'the fork is mightier than the sword', before changing the experience distribution to 5% for himself and 95% for Ferdinand. He does this because leveling up and gaining stats does not give him any significant increase in fighting strength, while for Ferdinand it does.

Gerald attracts monsters to Ferdinand using telepathy so that he would get more experience, but the monsters end up injuring him.
