As soon as I will the messages forward, they all come flooding at me like a tidal wave.

[Skill Blood Claws has leveled up to level 3.]

[Skill Blood Siphon has leveled up to level 2.]

I grin as I watch my levels go up, and especially at the sight of the new skill. Now, of course, they were technically going up when I actually killed the demons. But still.

Yes! Finally!

Congratulations, Tar says, slightly amused by my enthusiasm.

I finally have a healing skill that doesnt have me sitting for hours in front of a window.

After my enthusiasm fades a bit, I check out blood claws new description along with blood siphons, but the only differences are that blood claws now no longer said that it can drain my blood only when Im out of mana, and there isnt any difference in blood siphon.

Putting that aside for the moment, though, why is the System set up as it is anyways, with the statistics? What with balancing them out being the only real way to safely go forward.

Was wondering when youd ask that, Tar says immediately, making me raise a brow from my spot lying on the floor. There are a couple of reasons. The first being that there are some people incredibly few that do not require one of the stats. At all. Such as a ghost, which has no need for a physical stat with its body being ethereal.

Oh. That makes sense.

And the other reason?

A trap, Tar answers, surprising me for a moment, or at least, thats what we believe. Because most species need all three stats to be balanced, even if one is higher than the others. So when someone who is initiated into the System decides to go with an unbalanced build? They fall into that trap and most of the time end up dead rather early in life.

Thats brutal.

Yes. It is, he responds, his tone sounding rather dark. Making me wonder if he has a history with that.

Come to think of it, you probably had a different contracted Guardian before me, didnt you?

He stiffens up at that.

An awkward silence falls over the room lasting for who knows how long.

Eventually he says, I would rather not talk about that.

Oh.

Okay.

And so, the awkward silence continues until I eventually hear a light tinker sound, kind of like the sound of a very, very thin piece of glass shattering. Then all of the demon sounds I hear from the other floors begin to vanish.

Guess Sylver will probably be coming over here soon.
