“Hrmm.”

In-gong nodded slowly as he observed the status window floating in the air. There was only one stat that stood out just based on the difference in numbers.

‘Charm.’

In Knight Saga, Charm had been different from appearance. Appearance meant the extent in which a person was called handsome or pretty, while Charm meant how much a person liked the character.

It could refer to someone who gave off a good feeling for no reason, a person who looked strangely handsome despite being ordinary or a person who was beautiful but poisonous.

In contrast, there were the handsome or pretty people who repulsed anyone who came near them.

Shutra’s appearance was seven out of ten points, so he was really handsome. Moreover, now that his Charm was higher than Villager A, there was no damage to his good looks.

The thing In-gong focused on was that his Charm was lower than the other stats.

‘The extent to which my stats have risen has changed.’

At first, every level up caused his stats to rise by two. However, now Charm only rose by one.

'Of course, the reason is obvious.’

Characters in Knight Saga grew individually. At first, a character wouldn’t rise well in the early stages. However, they would start showing peculiar abilities once their levels got higher. Genius characters such as Locke and Zephyr showed good growth from beginning to end.

Even so, all of his stats rose by two except for Charm, so his overall growth rate was better than Locke and Zephyr. There were also his additional points.

'As expected of a protagonist.’

In-gong mumbled and grinned as he checked the skills window.

He hadn’t distributed the skill points gained from reaching level nine, so there weren’t many changes.

'Kuhuhuh, this is the result of my hard work.’

He returned to his tent after forming an alliance with Caitlin and Chris but he didn’t go to sleep straight away. He spent three hours gaining experience.

He wrote dwarf characters on a blank piece of paper while practicing Telekinesis with his other hand.

Additionally, he memorized vocabulary. He didn’t just memorize the dwarf characters but fit the dwarf characters to his favourite song lyrics.

His skill level improved considerably due to the translations and repetitive writing. However, the level was still low. If he repeated it for six more hours, it could reach level two.

Telekinesis training was simpler. He practiced moving small things he placed on his desk. Telekinesis shook the object instead of moving it because it was still too weak but at least it worked.

'Yes, I should make Telekinesis reach level two through hard work. A lot of hard work is required to become an all-rounder. It won’t always be good.’

However, he still wanted to learn magic. Recovery magic was indispensable, so he couldn’t forget about it.

‘It is better than nothing, even if I only learn it to Lv1.’

After having these thoughts, In-gong looked at the skills that had no change.

Conquest, Below the King’s Flag and Protagonist Correction.

They were still Lv1, so the proficiency hadn’t changed but In-gong didn’t mind. He hadn’t experimented with them yet.

‘I am anticipating level 10.’

Apart from skill points distribution and hard work with general skills, there was one other way for skill levels to increase.

In most cases, the skill level rose automatically when the character level reached a certain number.

Level 10 - wasn’t it always a meaningful level?

It had been the same for Knight Saga. When Zephyr and Locke reached level 10, their unique skills ‘Descendant of Darkness’ and ‘Chosen’ rose by one level.

“Either Conquest or Protagonist Correction will rise in level. I’ll bet on it. I will. Isn’t that right?”

In-gong muttered and closed the status window. He wanted to go hunting to level up straight away but he had a lot of work to do today and tomorrow.

”Prince, I am coming in.”

He heard Carack’s voice from where he was waiting outside the tent.

”Come in.”
