'Hmm...since our levels are still pretty low, the Strength stat will play the most important role in increasing our attack power and level grinding...' Jaden thought as he stared at Abaddon who was also looking at him mindlessly.
'But looking at its stats, this guy won't be able to take even one hit from a Skeleton Warrior unless I increase its Vitality...'
'I guess balancing its attributes should be the most viable path right now. I'll then decide how to allocate its future stat points when our level gets higher.' he decided.
A few minutes passed as he thought how to allocate the free stat points.
"This should be alright."

Jaden nodded his head as he looked at the skeleton's status window.
Although Abaddon was still as weak as an ant, the phrase 'A thousand-mile journey begins with a single step', is a perfect description of its circumstances.
However, the pace and momentum of its journey will be different and unique—
'It's following me after all.' Jaden grinned.
"Since you don't have a weapon, let's hunt some monsters first for some equipment," he said.
Clack, clack!
'Good. But first—'

"It seems that my attributes increase only by a single point after each level up," Jaden muttered. "But that +1 to all stats earlier was a total surprise."
Remembering the system message saying that he had achieved the impossible by killing the Level 15 Skeleton Warrior while only being Level 0, he laughed.
'I guess the game's system rewards players who are able to achieve impossible tasks...'
"This'll be fun.' he grinned as he put all his free stat points into Strength.
[Do you confirm adding 50 stat points into Strength?]
"Yes!"

Just as he finished allocating all his stats, Jaden heard a familiar sound from afar.
"Kuluk-Kuk, Kuk!"
Perfect! Jaden's eyes shone as he looked at the armored Skeleton Warrior that was running towards them.
A bit different from the previous one he had slain, this Skeleton Warrior's sword looked better and its armor seemed sturdier.

"Abaddon, its time for battle!"
CLACK CLACK CLACK!
A few seconds later...
Thud!
[Your summoned skeleton Abaddon has been slain.]
Jaden: "..."
His jaw dropped, Jaden was stunned when he saw Abaddon rush towards the Skeleton Warrior fearlessly, only to be destroyed with a single swing of a sword.
It didn't even hesitate one bit as it ran towards the bigger undead.
'Of course it's stupid, it's Intelligence stat is only 3 points after all...'
"You actually dare harm my precious Abaddon?" Jaden sneered as he stared at the rushing Skeleton Warrior.
"Jokes on you, he's immortal!"
"I Summon You from the Realm of the Dead, Abaddon!" Jaden shouted, his face a bit red.
[50% of your health has been consumed.]
Clack Clack Clack!
Jumping out of the black vortex, despite having nothing on its eye sockets, Abaddon 'glared' at the Skeleton Warrior, seemingly enraged for being killed in a blink of an eye.
Clack!
"Wait!" Jaden cried out immediately, fortunately stopping the fool of a skeleton from courting its death once again.
He grimaced. "You! Stay in your place! Watch and learn from your master."
Shifting his eyes towards the Skeleton Warrior that was less than a meter from him, Jaden dashed forward.
Clang!
Parrying the attack, Jaden used the enemy's strength and bent his knees, spinning his Rusted Claymore around his body.
[You have dealt 92 damage to the target.]
Without wasting even a millisecond, Jaden used his body's spinning motion to circle around the undead, delivering a horizontal slash at its back.
[You have dealt 98 damage to the target.]
Clack clack! Abaddon's jaws moved up and down as it waved its bony arms, seemingly cheering for its master.
'Damn, this virtual body is still miles away from my real one. Although I'm already moving at the limits of its capability, the agility stat is still way too low to keep up with me.'
"I wonder when I'll be able to catch up to my real body's strength or even exceed it," Jaden whispered under his breath.
Without letting the slow undead react, Jaden kicked its back and struck with his sword.
[You have dealt 22 damage to the target.]
[You have dealt 90 damage to the target.]
Stomp!
He then kicked his foot on the ground and leaped at the skeleton's side, slashing it in its waist.
[You have dealt 92 damage to the target.]
"KUCRUK!" The Skeleton Warrior cried out as it desperately swung its sword towards Jaden, only to be evaded with ease.
Jaden struck once more the moment he dodged the undead's sword.
[You have dealt 90 damage to the target.]
He kicked it again and slashed from above.
[You have dealt 25 damage to the target.]
[You have 98 damage to the target.]
Right then, Jaden shouted towards Abaddon. "Come join the battle!"
Clack clack! Abaddon's jaws moved as it started running towards the Skeleton Warrior, which was as twice as big as it.
Jaden warned. "I have its aggro, be sure to dodge its occasional attack—"
Clack!
[Your summoned skeleton Abaddon has been slain.]
"..."
"It's too dumb. Should I increase its Intelligence first?
Jaden didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Abaddon punch the Skeleton Warrior before being killed once again.
"Damn, how can it learn how to fight if it's so dumb then..." Jaden muttered while dodging an attack and slashing forward.
[You have dealt 95 damage to the target.]
"Wait!" At that moment, an idea popped into his head.
'How can it learn? By teaching and training of course!' he thought while weaving left and right, evading the Skeleton Warrior's sword repeatedly by a hair's breadth.
'Since its a growth-type skeleton, it should possess comprehension, even if only a hint of it. Other than its stats increasing, it should be able to evolve in other areas too. '
Such as combat and martial arts!
"Good. Let's try it out later." Jaden's eyes gleamed as a smirk crept up his lips.
"But first, our little Abaddon will need a weapon," he said as he stared at the Skeleton Warrior whose sword was broken and its armor chipped and cracked.
[You have dealt 99 damage to the target.]
[You have dealt 97 damage to the target.]
[You have dealt 99 damage to the target.]
[You have dealt 95 damage to the...]
[You have dealt 96 damage...]
[You have dealt...]
[You have...]
[You...]
[...]
[...]
[You have slain the target.]
"Finally!" Jaden grinned.
[You have slain an enemy 10 Levels above you! EXP received +100%.]
[You have received 7,150 EXP.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[You have received: Rusted Claymore.]
[You have received: Rusted Chestpiece.]
[You have received: Bone Dust x70.]
[Beginner Sword Mastery Level 2 has leveled up to Beginner Sword Mastery Level 3.]

Glancing at his full HP which had recovered from the 50% health cost for summoning Abaddon, Jaden grinned.
"I Summon You from the Realm of the Dead, Abaddon!"
Whoosh!
The black vortex appeared.
Clack clack clack!
So did the little white skeleton.
'So Abaddon needs to be summoned to receive experience points huh.' Jaden thought as he looked at the skeleton's status window which remained the same.
"Abaddon!" Jaden called out.
Clack!
"I am very disappointed with your performance earlier. Very disappointed," he said while shaking his head.
One could sense the frustration in his voice.
Clack?
"Weak. You are still too weak."
...clack...
Abaddon lowered its head in shame as it stared at the ground.
Jaden then smiled. "So to become stronger, I will have to train you."
C-clack?
He smirked as he threw the Rusted Claymore in his hands to Abaddon."Here, catch."
"We will train right here, right now! Understood?"
CLACK CLACK!
Jaden nodded his head before pointing his finger towards the Rusted Claymore on the skeleton's hands. "Okay then. First, the basics, I want you to swing that sword 1,000 times!"
"Did you hear me? 1,000 swings, like this." Jaden demonstrated by lifting his sword from above and slashing downward.
Whoosh!
One could hear the air being sliced despite the speed being not that fast.
Clack clack! Abaddon's maws jumped as it praised its master.
"Did you see that? 1,000 swings okay? Nothing more nothing less!"
Clack Clack!
Abaddon immediately copied Jaden's earlier posture and stood straight with its right leg a bit forward and the other a bit backward.
It then slashed down from above.
Whoosh!
"Good. Again!"
Whoosh!
"Again!"
Whoosh!
"Again!"
Whoosh!
"Agai..."
"Ag..."
"..."
An hour passed just like that.
While Abaddon continuously swung his sword, Jaden killed another Skeleton Warrior, increasing his level by 1.
The experience points were divided between the two of them.
Eventually—
[Your summoned skeleton Abaddon has learned Beginner Sword Mastery Level 1.]
[Your summoned skeleton Abaddon has learned the skill: Chop.]
