Chapter 61 - Special Skill.

*BANG*

[You Killed Red Lion!]

[250 XP Earned!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Level 19 -> Level 20]

Isaac looked at the notifications with a relieved face.

They have been here for 3 hours, and finally, he reached level 20.

Darth reached Level 23.

The cave had obvious signs of battle, there were few Level 22 Monsters appearing, but they managed to deal with them.

''Eh... I did not get a skill?'' Isaac looked at Darth with a questioning face.

Darth was taking heavy breaths while sitting on the ground, ''The second skill is for level 25.''

''Ah.'' Isaac nodded with understanding.

''W-Why aren't you exhausted?'' Darth asked with a fatigued face.

''I am quite exhausted,'' Isaac replied.

Darth scanned his body, and it looked like Isaac could last for another few hours, ''You don't look like it...''

Isaac sat down on the ground, and he decided to assign the stats now.

''Interface.'' He said simply, and a familiar blue Interface appeared.

''Any ideas where I should put my stat points?'' Isaac decided to ask from Darth. He seems to be a more experienced one.

''Special stat, Vitality and Agility, they are the most important ones,'' Darth replied; he was trying to catch his breathing after an exhausting grinding session.

Isaac nodded and looked at the Precision stat.

''Hmm...'' Isaac pressed the Precision stat and decided to do a risky choice.

[PRE: 75 -> 100]

[SP: 40 -> 15]

Rest he put on Vitality and Agility.

[VIT: 50 -> 60]

[SP: 15 -> 5]

[AGI: 50 -> 55]

[SP: 5 -> 0]

*Ding* *Ding*

Unexpected notifications popped up in front of Isaac.

[Precision has reached 100!]

[Special Skill created!]

[Precision -> Good Precision Lv1]

[Good Precision Lv1: Improves the shot accuracy by 1%]

Isaac widened his eyes, ''H-Hey, Darth.''

''Yeah?'' Darth replied.

''How much is your special stat?'' Isaac asked with a gulp.

''Hmm, around 60.'' Darth replied. He turned his gaze towards Isaac, ''Why?''

''Has anyone reached 100 Stat Points yet?''

Darth shook his head, ''Special stat is necessary, but not many put all their stat points on it. Most of the players look for balance, especially players around level 20, so I don't think anyone has yet.''

'Am I the first one... Or is there again the people who won't spread the news about Special skill...' Isaac turned his head towards Darth and decided to tell him.

''I have now 100 Special stat points.''

Darth looked surprised, ''I see... But you should concentrate more on balance.''

''Well... I received a Special skill.''

Darth's face soon turned into shock. He quickly jumped up, ''For reaching 100?!''

Isaac nodded.

Darth started pondering. He walked back and forth, ''Is it your stat related?''

Isaac nodded.

''Hmm...'' Darth scratched his head, ''I don't think this was in the Beta testing phase... What does it do?''

''Improves my accuracy by 1%.''

''Ah!'' Darth exclaimed, ''Now I get it!''

''Hmm?'' Isaac furrowed his brows and waited for the following words.

Darth sat in front of Isaac and looked at his beautiful face, ''1% seems quite useless, right?''

Isaac nodded.

''It pretty much is, but that is expected. It would be game-breaking if getting to 100 in Special stat gives some overpowered ability, so I think Arthur wanted to make everyone focus on the Special stat for giving special skills for certain milestones!''

''So... Special stat much have some secret.'' Isaac's eyes sparkled.

''That's right!'' Darth grinned, ''I have always thought that the Special stats are quite lackluster, but perhaps they can be evolved in some way... But in what...'' He pondered.

But then Isaac replied, ''Perhaps something to do with Legacies?''

Darth had a face of realization, ''That's right! Apparently, Legacies can change the class of the player, but the Stats always stay the same, and the Stats you have put on your previous Special stat will be transferred to the new one!''

''Ah, right!'' Darth exclaimed and put his Interface in front of him.

He had 40 stat points left, and his Special stat is on 60...

Without hesitation and having complete faith in Isaac's words, he put all of them into special stat!

*Ding* *Ding*

[Physique has reached 100!]

[Special skill created!]

[Physique -> Good Physique Lv1]

[Good Physique Lv1: Improves the physique by 1%]

''Oh! You can level it up!'' Darth exclaimed, ''But how... With XP? Nah...''

Isaac looked at his own and completely missed the Lv1 part.

''Maybe... By doing something that usually helps in real life?'' Isaac suggested, ''Like, yours is Physique, maybe you should exercise?''

Darth turned around and looked at Isaac blankly.

''Wraith.'' He said with a voice without emotions.

''Y-Yeah?'' Isaac looked embarrassed. He thought that Darth thought that his idea sucked.

''You are...'' Darth patted Isaac's shoulder, ''A fucking genius! How can you be so fucking smart!''

Isaac chuckled and scratched his cheek.

Darth energetically looked towards the ceiling, ''It's time to leave this shithole. The monsters have stopped spawning for a quite long time now... I guess we have killed every monster this dimension holds.''

''There weren't too many,'' Isaac said and stood up.

''There must be other spawn spots near. If monsters spawned without stopping, we could become level 100 in a week's time.''

''True...'' Isaac said and started climbing the wall with Darth.

The wall had some holes which could be used to climb, but it was easier for Darth because of the Physique stat.

Isaac had to use his whole body. He didn't have enough arm strength, so he had to focus on pushing himself up with the help of his legs.

Soon, they reached the area of blue crystals, their heads almost touching it.

''See you on the other side,'' Darth said with a grin, he pushed himself up, and his body got sucked inside the mysterious portal.

Isaac gulped. He took a final look towards the cave, and after that.... He entered the portal.
