Thick, lush forest.
Rustling winds, and the leaves that fall down makes the serenity of the place.
There is also the gentle flow of the river, and a fish that jumps out of it from time to time.
PAK!
A branch suddenly broke as man suddenly stepped on it.
Behind him is a pack of hyenas, but not ordinary hyenas: they are Blood Hyenas.
And the one thing that these Hyenas are known for is that they can phase through objects, and even attacks that players get so frustrated in dealing with them.
The man then climbed up a tree to dodge the other hyenas, only for them to jump to him and try to bit him.
But that was what he was waiting for.He jumped down, and dodged the bite.
And like it was always said, even a master is a target when they are in the air.
"Mana Bullet."
A single Mana Bullet flew forwards, and hitting the hyena squarely in the jaw, which made it lose all it's head in the process.
As it fell down the ground, it wanted to do more, but without a head, its body just went down and flopped on the ground.
The others, seeing this, stopped, but he didn't.
"Mana Bullet. Qi Bullet."
One by one, he fired bulelts and started chasing the hyenas that were chasing him.
The hyenas phased through his attacks, but because of the rate he is firing, they cannot attack him fast enough go through the net of attacks.
And so, there were twelve more Blood Hyenas that fell down, and the others ran away.
After the firing, and seeing that his enemies are gone, he sat down the ground and sighed.
He rested his head, and saw the thirteen corpses all glowing.
"Tsk." He clicked his tongue as he looked at his Information Panel.
Upon seeing this, he clicked his tongue again and walked to the first corpse.
He, Zypher, has a curse that he cannot level up. And what thing comes with leveling up that he can't get?
Yes, Stat Points.
And so, he is trying to grind the stat points here, which is one of the game's easter egg.
It is known that every player, upon reaching level 15, has 150 stat points, if their class is Normal, and 750 if you have a Legendary Class.
These points are not just for design, but they hit hard and can be something that burries him if he isn't so smart.
And he, is capped at 95 points per stat.
Yet he found a loophole to this.
His Mental Fortitude stat, gives twice the Intelligence Stat.
It means if he has 20 Mental Fortitude stat points, he already has 40 points in Intelligence.
And his Wisdom Stat, gives thrice the amount.
Zypher hit 40 Wisdom stat today. That means he has an extra 25 points for Intelligence from this stat alone.
It means if he hit 95 Wisdom, it means he has 285 points for Intelligence.
Amd that's something he is pursuing now.
Even though he is capped, he decided to test things out.
Because his first encounters were not so easy to deal with.
[Congratulations, Daisy has been raised to Level 2. Please allocate Stat Points.]
{Ha! Loser! I hit Level 2 a while ago!}
'Liar, why didn't I get the notificiation.'
{...}
[Affirmative. Lying is a sin, permission to toast Lysander, Master.]
'No. He is your sibling.'
[Negative. He is ug--]
{Shut up!}
Hearing this, Zypher was surprised.
It has been six hours since he was sent in this place, and this is an island, no, a very big continent.
He is still dodging players here and therez just to make his life easier.
No drama, no anything, none.
As he opened the Information Panel of Daise, he saw simpleness, but the Panel is not like his.
It is more of a modern world, techie and is filled with elegance.
But there, he found only four stats that he can add.
Wisdom, Insight, Constitution, Craftsmanship.
Wisdom, is the stat which elevates the Intelligence of a player highly. They can understand the magic circle, formulas and other things easily.
Insight, on the other hand, boosts their learning capacity and quality. They can have an intuition on how they can do one thing, or how long they can practice it until they learn it.
Constitution, is Dexterity's special upgrade stat. One can be dexterous, but cannot beat someone who is born talented. Hard work is always burried by talent.
...or connections.
This stat helps in making things, that as of now, Zypher can not do.
And Craftsmanship, is a stat that helps a player to build and make things.
Craftsmanship helps a player to craft, but Constitution makes them create.
These two goes hand in hand, and as for Daisy, Zypher now knows where his knowledge is coming from.
"Put 60 points in Insight."
Yes, 60. Although a Summon, Daisy and Lysander are Legendary figures.
One, is an eye of a god, and the other, an eye of unknown existence.
So, they are capable of getting such high stats. Too bad for Zypher, these are just for his summons.
...or so he thought.
{Hey, don't just suddenly splurge it into one. Try to distribute it equally first.}
Upon saying so, Zypher stopped immediately.
'Why would I listen to you, Level 1?'
Hearing this, Zypher's right eye suddenly felt so heavy, that half of his body is too heavy, while the other half is too light.
This sudden change in gravity almost made him choke and puke out blood.
'Fine. I'm sorry.'
He shouted in his mind, and the torture stopped
{Hmph!}
Zypher, who almost died, was so surprised how feisty his summon is.
He did what he said though.
Suddenly, his eyes lit as something just flowed through his brain.
"I could've done that?"
His eyes shone as he suddenly had an idea.
But, this happiness was like a campfire that was engulfed by a wave.
"Ten items and materials, and one epic."
