”Show me my status, Nancy.” Clark said with great enthusiasm in his voice.
”BOINK!”

”There's no change to provide me character attributes or such nonsense. It seems that i can only get strength by leveling and not go the path of broken stats by maxing either speed or defense.”
Although this had given a dim shade unto Clark's excitement but that was a paltry minority in comparison to how he felt about that single skill point in the tally.
He clicked on the Class Skills section and found himself scrutinizing the 3 Talent Trees held within.
Summoning Talent Tree.
Death Magic Talent Tree.
Cursed Words Talent Tree.
The first creature that could be summoned was called White Wolf.
Of course, Clark had long decided to use this Summoning Talent Tree as his eternal farm for passive income and experience but that alone has not halted his curiosity on the other skills available also at this level.
Death Magic Talent has a skill called Bone Plate that creates a full body armor upon activation which afforded meager defense at least to its caster.
Without question, this skill was indeed a good ability to have if Clark wanted to farm exp by his lonesome self. Sadly, he was not too suicidal enough to brave the dangers for himself.
”This is not a make believe game after all. This is real and i can die easily after 1 single mistake. No save points also.” Clark shivered unconsciously.
He glanced at the Cursed Words Talent Tree next and took a short pause at its level 1 skill description.
Curse: Itch - make the target experience an unbearable itch.
Duration: 10 seconds
Host can choose what part of the target's body will be infected by the curse. (+50% effectiveness)
”Hmmm... This spell is good for causing distraction unto my enemies. But it's just too weak against the advantage of having countless summons around.”
Clark noted the weakness of the cursed words talent as of this moment.
”It's time for an upgrade!” he breathed deeply and clicked on one particular point before him.
After that, Clark called upon his 2nd summon for the night.
”Come, White Wolf!”
”BOINK!”
”Health Function Unlocked!”
”Mana Function Unlocked!”
”Power Function Unlocked!”
A mist floated on the vacant floors before him and one breath later, a huge body of a wolf stood in feral smile at its master.
It had all the characteristics of a normal wolf save the dried husk that marred its body.
Its skeletons were even showing amidst the lumpish dead flesh that created a sorry excuse for a creature's flesh and muscles.
It may have appeared that way but in Clark's eyes, the summon's sharp teeth was indeed an extremely intimidating thing to watch at first try.
”250 pounds of big dog. I fear for your enemies, my good puppy.” he smiled after realizing that this wolf was another knife to use for getting more exp.
And of course, as its owner, Clark would be the safest in the company of such animals.
He took a few breaths in admiring the White Wolf and got its stats from the system.
