Kapitel 4: Chapter 4 - A Life … Statscreen? (2)

I would've liked to learn how to increase Stats right away, but the tutorial immediately says it would answer questions after the basics are covered.

I guess I'd have to look over everything else as well. With a small sigh, I flop down near the tree to read everything else that had popped up, ignoring the facts that I felt slightly taller than before. I had already determined that I had a new body… it was possible the body that had been Luke's was far too damaged to do anything with. Or, it was just reincarnation things. I don't have any way to know, so I decide not to worry about it anymore and drag my finger up on the screen to scroll down.



Extra Stats:

ACC[Accuracy]: Determines AR [Accuracy Rate] for Weapons, Spells, or otherwise determined objects.
Stat points determined through average of AGI and DEX — (5+1)/2 = 3
[0%]

DEF[Defense]: Determines Protection Power against Physical and Magical Attacks. Dmg[Damage] is calculated by utilizing the formula Atk-Def = Dmg (Dmg cannot be less than 1)
Stat points determined through average of STR and VIT — (4+3)/2 = 3.5
[0%]

POW[Magic Power]: Determines Spell Power. Raises Atk for Attack Spells, and increases Duration for Effect or Alternate Spells.
Stat points determined through average of MAG and INT — (2+4)/2 = 3
[+5, +2]



I feel my eye twitch slightly. For every abbreviation, the description elaborates what it means at least once, even the simple things like Dmg.

"Does it think I'm dumb?"

[*Please wait until all the basics of the Statscreen are covered before asking questions.*]

"Hey! I didn't even preface that!" I complain, swiping away the message and pushing down my irritation. The way it had immediately responded feels like it was trying to suggest 'yes,' but couldn't.

"Whatever." I move on, settling on getting through 'the basics.' My entire focus now was to figure out how to get more DEX.

My finger pauses over the Unfound Skill I now have, and after reading it's description I curse loudly.



[Klum's Reincarnation (Unfound Autoskill): This skill will automatically activate at cooldown's end or at earliest (in)convenience to the user. As the user's Reincarnate Blessing, the user has a 50% chance to have either 'good' or 'bad' luck. Upon 'good' luck, the user will experience a 200% increase in DEX. Upon 'bad' luck, user will experience a decrease to 1 DEX.]
Duration: 3 seconds — Cost: None — Cooldown: 4 days
(User must be in a situation utilizing DEX in order for Skill to activate.)
[Skill Ready]



Skill Ready.

That could mean the second I move, I would possibly experience this 'good' or 'bad' luck. It all depends on how DEX was applied to me. But, I would get all the info I could first, and worry about that soon.

All I had left to look over was one Skill, and after looking at the first one my hopes were pretty shot. Still, I prepare myself for the worst and begin reading.



[Critical Eye (Rare Passive Skill): When engaging in battle, the attacking enemy or target(s) will be randomly marked with a 'Critical Mark.' Upon striking the 'Critical Mark,' attack will deal 350% Dmg. (Max targets: 2 — Max 'Critical Mark' per target: 1)
Cost: None — Cooldown: 3 seconds
Evolution Requirements:
- 15 ACC
- Land a hit on a 'Critical Mark' 10x (0/10)]

[Note: Some Stat Effects are changed by this skill.]

Drool leaks from the corner of my mouth. 'Finally, something good,' I think to myself as I marvel at the incredible Skill I have. I begin to calm myself down. The Skill by itself was incredible — over three times damage in one hit — but even the Evolution Requirements seem cheap. Of course, after thinking about it a bit harder, I realize that it very clearly was not very cheap. "I'll need at least 24 more stat points just to reach 15 ACC," I muse, checking over my stats again. "And it says I have to land the hit… Right now, my Accuracy's only 3."
I'm so stuck deep in thought, I jump a bit as I am startled by the tutorial popping up with a little chime. 'I thought I muted that,' I think as I investigate the message tenderly.

[*Questions are now unlocked. Ask away!*]

I had nearly forgotten about that, getting caught up with Critical Eye.

But I know exactly what I wanted to ask.

"Tutorial, how do I gain stat points?"

I wait eagerly for an answer, but accompanied by a 'ding!', the message that pops up next makes the small smile that had been growing on my face disappear.

[*Enemy approaching. Prepare for combat tutorial! :D*]
