Chapter 1874: Use Of Levels.
"As for your boost from Mana, that can only be increased by increasing the number of skills you have and your Proficiency with all of them. As a Tier o entity, your maximum boost is 100% or 2 in the power formula. That will increase to 200% at tier 1 or 3 in the formula."
"You should not forget skill rank either. They range from common to divine. Each rank will grant you more power."
Then Ragna asked, "Do you understand what I am saying?"
Taylor nodded. "I see what you are saying. I should focus on the acquisition of skills and their proficiency. The proficiency of a single skill affects its power, while the average proficiency of all my skills affects my mana boost."
"You are right about the last part, but not the first. Skills and their proficiency are important, but your base attributes should not be neglected."
"Not only do your attributes account for 25% of the power formula, your total attributes also increase the capacity of your existence. Your total attributes are what is known as your level. So your level determines your capacity."
"You need this capacity to hold skills. For example, common skills take up 5 levels each, while uncommon skills take up 10 levels. Once you run out of space within your existence, you won't be able to accommodate more skills."
Taylor's mouth twitched. He said, "So I can't have unlimited skills. That makes sense. But this also means I have to prioritize my attributes if I want to be able to use more powerful skills."
Ragna nodded in agreement. "You're getting it. And last but not least, level doesn't mean much on its own. Neither does the rank of a skill. You can defeat someone that is of a higher level than you or has a better skill than you as long as you have a better overall power output from your core engine than them. So you can't neglect any part of the formula."
Taylor asked, "You mentioned a Tier 1 entity earlier. What Tier are gods?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ragna chuckled and said, "All of you ask this question. Looks like you are all greedy for power."
"Anyway, the lowest god seeds are tier 7 compared to mortals. But the gods you saw earlier are tier 9."
Taylor opened his mouth in shock. Then he said, "That's a long way from tier o."
Ragna agreed. "Indeed, it is."
Taylor said hurriedly, "I think should get back to training then."
Ragna agreed again, "You should."
He began walking towards the third floor. He decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator in light of recent revelations about how much training he needs to do.
As he was walking, he asked something he noticed. "Do skills use both focus and stamina?"

Four months of training and eating special food have increased his level from 15 to 20. It
means he can get another common skill. But he wants to save his level to 25, so that he can pick up an uncommon skill next.
