56 Chapter 55 (1/2)
Jin-Woo lowered his gaze slightly while feeling rather pleased with himself, then he spotted something else in the Status Window.
[Title: Slaughterer of Wolves (extra 1)]
'…..There was another one?'
….Oh.
Now that he thought about it, he did earn a new 'Title' as well during the Class Change Quest, didn't he?
Jin-Woo checked out the hidden title's description.
[Title: The One Who Overcame the Adversity]
A Title only given to those who have splendidly overcome their adversity. Your Stat values will rise as your HP decreases. (1% of lost HP = 1% gain in Stats)
'Hell yeah!'
It was a truly wonderful buff where his Stats would rise up as his HP was decreased.
The Title 'Slaughterer of Wolves' was a wonderful Title as well that would give him a 40% Stats increase against any and all beast-type monsters. However, because there was a strict activation condition attached to it, he often had to do without receiving the Stat buff.
'It's the same thing as not having a Title if I'm not fighting against beast-type monsters.'
But now, he had gotten a new Title with a wonderful effect. After reading the description, he thought that this Title's effect would match up quite nicely with his passive, 'Tenacity'.
Without wasting any more time, Jin-Woo changed his Title.
[Title: The one who overcame the adversity (extra 1)]
The Title he didn't set would be hidden, and if he needed it, he could swap them at any time, too.
'Next up, it's my Stats.'
The rewards he got for exceeding the point limits of his Class yesterday were three.
One, his Class changed to a higher-grade version; two, a new Title; finally, bonus Stat points.
[Stats]
Strength: 132
Stamina: 91
Agility: 111
Intelligence: 70
Perception: 93
(Available points to distribute: 10)
Reduction in physical damage: 46%
He still had ten points yet to be allocated. If it was in the past, he'd have spent them all in Agility or Perception, but things were different now.
Jin-Woo dumped all ten points in Intelligence, instead.
Even then, his Intelligence value only reached 80.
Tti-ring.
[Stats]
Strength: 132
Stamina: 91
Agility: 111
Intelligence: 80
Perception: 93
(Available points to distribute: 0)
Reduction in physical damage: 46%
Compared to Strength or Agility, it simply fell way, way behind. As a matter of fact, it even fell behind Stamina, the Stat he decided to put on the back burner while raising his Agility first.
It was clear proof that he had been looking down on the Intelligence Stat until now.
'Well, I never guessed that I'd somehow end up using magic, so it's understandable.'
For the time being, he decided to invest every single bonus Stat point he earned into Intelligence. He wasn't planning to change how he fought in the meantime, though.
'I mean, the new skills I got are assassination type skills, after all.'
A new skill he acquired during the fierce battle – the dagger throw. He didn't even have to take a gander at the skill description to know that it was a dagger-exclusive skill.
[Skill: Dagger Throw Lv. 1]
Active skill.
Required Mana to activate: 30
Exclusive to daggers.
Causes damage by throwing your dagger. The higher the level, the greater the damage inflicted, as well as the accuracy.
'Yup. I knew it.'
He had been fighting his battles as a close-quarter melee fighter. He wouldn't change his current fighting style, just because he got himself a new Class and a couple of new skills related to that.
So, he was planning to use the shadow skills as his back-up, while the dagger would remain as his primary means of attack.
'Well, at least until I manage to raise my Intelligence Stat to a somewhat more useful level, that is.'
Excellent combat abilities. And soldiers able to support him from behind.
The plan he formed in his head as he got his new Class hadn't changed.
'But, if there is one difference from my initial expectations, then that would be….'
That would be his soldiers potentially being a lot more useful than he thought. Who could've guessed that he was able to turn boss-level monsters into his underlings?
'….Still.'
He felt that it'd be a bit of waste not to utilise his proficiency with daggers and the skills related to that if he were to rely solely on his shadows to fight.
Also, he bought the Knight Killer only a few hours ago, too.
'If I knew I'd end up as a mage-type, maybe I should've bought a magic staff or something.'
Of course, if he did that, he wouldn't have cleared the quest and ended up being buried under the knights, instead.
Jin-Woo closed the Status Window. With that done, he pretty much had confirmed every change that occurred to him.
'Wait a sec. What's the time now?'
While he was doing his thing, 20 minutes had flown by. Jin-Woo scratched the side of his head.
'I guess I should hurry up, huh.'
The corners of Jin-Woo's lips arched up.
The power of his enhanced Stats didn't prove to be effective only when fighting against monsters.
When he concentrated, time slowed down. To be more precise, it was Jin-Woo who had gotten quicker, however.
He opened the door and left his room.
He entered the bathroom and took a quick shower.
He swiftly wiped the water off of him.
He put on whatever clothing he could find and stood before the mirror.
All this, and he only needed three minutes.
He could've moved faster, but he figured that this old, decrepit apartment would fall apart if he did.
'My hair hasn't completely dried out yet, but….'
The end result was him saving over 20 minutes, so there was no need to rush now.
Time to leave, then.
Jin-Woo was about to step out of his room, but discovered something and stopped in his tracks. He found the key for the apartment. It was sitting on top of his desk.
In the past, he'd have felt a bit lazy and unwilling, but still turned back to grab the key; however, he simply extended his hand instead of walking over there.
'I mean, if I don't use it in times like this, just when will I ever get to use this skill?'
The Ruler's Reach!
The key crept forward bit by bit, before flying into his open palm as if a strong magnet was reeling it in.
Grab!
Jin-Woo snatched the key and grinned refreshingly.
