System Change

As Derek pulled up his stats and thought about his plans, he hesitated. I do have enough to get all my stats to 2,000. It would make for a great baseline, and there is a slim chance that I gain a new Title from doing so. I doubt that would be the case, as the level range went from 250 to 1,000. I would suspect the next group of thresholds to be at around 2,500 to 3,000 stat points in a stat.

That also takes me back to vitality and endurance. If I could break through with vitality, especially… then my health pool would skyrocket. If not for the unknowns, I would definitely chuck 1,100 stat points into it to see. Vitality is the one stat that everyone needs, no matter what, he thought. It was a very hard decision for him, but, in the end, he decided to go with what made the most sense for the current him—the one who got hit a lot and had skills that passed through armor and attacked vitals.

‘Silvi, brace yourself. I’m about to add about 1,200 stat points to our stats,’ Derek sent to his companion. He’d made the mistake of adding a bunch of stats at once a few times without consulting her, and he didn’t want to do it again. He seriously doubted that there would be a threshold at 2,000 points, but it was every 500 points before, so it was possible.

‘Ready,’ Silvi sent back.

With a deep breath, the first thing Derek did was add 300 stat points to his vitality. Doing so let him feel a mild change in how his blood flowed and left him with a light burning sensation for a minute, but that was it. Okay… the new threshold is not at 2,000 stat points, he thought. Then, he added 300 points to his endurance, wisdom, and intelligence.

Doing so in such a short time caused his breath to catch momentarily. For a second—because of the endurance—he felt slightly stiff, but that feeling disappeared pretty quickly. The 300 points in intelligence probably also contributed to the stiffness, but the wisdom was quick to balance that out. He looked at his stats again and gritted his teeth. He wasn’t sure if doing it that way was the correct approach, but he didn’t want to spend the points in strength and dexterity on a slight possibility of gaining a Title.

For the hell of it, because he wasn’t big on weird numbers that he had to constantly look at, he took 77 of his remaining 89 stat points and tossed them into strength and dexterity to get them both to 1,800. He also didn’t plan on leaving those two stats completely behind, but for his current predicament, they would trail behind. I am going to need to get them to 2,500 or 3,000 points one day if possible. I’m sure there will be a Title for something like that.

Finally, he took the remaining twelve points and evened out his four other stats as best as he could. Then, he opened his ‘Personal Information’ and gave his stats a look.
