Kapitel 17: Stat Points
"That stings quite a bit," Lucien remarked, rubbing his reddened cheeks. An enraged red palm print was visible on his skin, evidence of the slap Charlotte had delivered.
After Lucien had slapped Charlotte's buttocks and received a notification from the system, Charlotte's immediate reaction was to slap his cheek out of mortification. Her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment and anger as she glared at him, but she didn't say anything before turning around to follow the plump man.
All the guards were staring at him with disdain, their eyes conveying disgust towards Lucien's indecent behavior. But what everyone failed to understand was the inner turmoil that he was going through. If he didn't have the daily quest, why would he slap Charlotte's ass out of nowhere?
He could choose not to do the daily quest, but the mere thought of his 'little brother' remaining erect for 24 hours was like a living nightmare. The discomfort and pain he would experience were unimaginable, and he couldn't bear the idea of enduring it for an entire day. It was like a curse that he couldn't escape, and the only way to break it was to complete the quest.
Moreover, the reward of 500 Exp points and five stat points was too tempting to be ignored. Even though he knew that his actions would offend Charlotte, he saw no other option but to complete the quest. In this new world, where strength meant everything, Lucien had to increase his power if he wanted to survive. The system was his best bet for gaining strength quickly, and the rewards for completing the daily quest were too valuable to pass up. Lucien felt trapped between his desires and his morals, but ultimately, his desire for power won out.
Of course, if there was a chance to make amends and ease Charlotte's anger, Lucien would seize it without hesitation.
As Lucien sat in the stuffy classroom, struggling to pay attention to the lecture, his mind wandered to the incident from earlier that day. Suddenly, he remembered the stat points he had earned. 'Let me see,' he thought to himself, 'I received five points for leveling up and another five points for completing the daily quest. That should give me ten points to allocate." With a sense of excitement, he began planning how he would distribute his points to improve his character.

'Should I spread them out evenly among all the stats?' he wondered. 'But with only two points in each, the boost to my capabilities might be negligible. On the other hand, if I put all the points into my lowest and second-lowest stats, like strength and agility, they would received a significant boost. Those numbers are embarrassingly low at the moment, after all.' As he pondered his options, he grew confused.
At some points, he ultimately tapped out his glabella twice and went to ask. 'Hey Auman, could you please provide a more detailed explanation on how the stat points work? Like, does STR refer to my physical capability or raw power I possess? Or is there something else to it?'
He wanted to make sure those points he invested will be a good use. Hence, he went to seek Auman for further information.
[The Strength statistic affects your overall physical strength, including your muscle power and resistance to physical stressors such as muscle fatigue and strain. For example, if you increase your STR stat, you will have a greater ability to withstand punches and other physical damages. Additionally, increasing your STR stat can also improve your endurance and help you lift heavier objects.] Auman elaborated.
'So, are my current strength stats sufficient to take on several opponents?'
[No, unfortunately not. Your strength stat is below average. To put it in perspective, you would need at least 15 points in strength to have the same level of strength as a low-ranked guard or a regular soldier in your world.]
Lucien's tone was filled with incredulity as he blurted out in a low voice, "What? Doesn't that mean I'm as weak as a chicken?" He couldn't fathom how his noble family could have overlooked his abysmally low strength. After all, nobles were expected to excel in both education and combat training. His own weakness left him perplexed and frustrated, wondering how he had fallen so far behind.
He had initially believed that allocating some of his available stat points to his strength would instantly grant him superhuman strength. However, he soon realized that he was far from reaching his goal. Learning from Auman that he would need a minimum of fifteen points in strength just to be on par with a regular soldier, he now understood that he had a long way to go. In fact, he would need at least fifty points to attain the level of a superhuman.
If the trained guards and regular soldiers could hear his complaints, they would likely spurt out blood in frustration and say, "You bitch! What a long way to go?! You have a cheating system that can instantly enhance your body through engaging in intimate activities, and you still have the audacity to complain?"
...
'How about agility stats?' Lucien continues to ask.
[The Agility statistic represents your movement speed and reflexes. By increasing your AGI, you'll be able to move and react faster than before. This means you'll be able to throw faster punches and dodge incoming attacks more easily. In addition, your body's overall movement speed will increase, allowing you to cover greater distances in a shorter amount of time.]
[AGI also affects your reaction time, allowing you to respond more quickly to unexpected situations. You may find yourself instinctively dodging or blocking attacks before you even have time to think about it. With enough AGI, your movements can become almost fluid, as if you're dancing in battle.]
[Keep in mind, however, that increasing your AGI won't necessarily make you stronger in terms of raw power. It's more about finesse and speed than brute strength. So while you may be able to land multiple punches quickly, each punch may not pack as much of a punch as it would if your STR stat was higher.]
Lucien nodded in understanding as he mused to himself. 'Perhaps allocating the available stat points to agility would be a better choice compared to strength. If my multiple punches weren't effective in dealing damage, then what about multiple stabs with a rapier? Wouldn't that potentially yield more damage than a single punch packed with strength?'
Of course, he would need weapon training in order to do that. Nonetheless, agility also offered him more flexibility in dangerous situations. With increased agility, his sprint speed would be faster, enabling him to escape from perilous predicaments more safely. Additionally, agility could provide him with better maneuverability in combat, allowing him to evade attacks more effectively and potentially gain an advantage in battles.
...
[Vitality statistic represents your overall health and endurance. By increasing your VIT stat, your body would become more resistant to diseases and illnesses, and you would recover from injuries much faster. In conclusion, you would have a stronger immune system.]
'Stronger immune system, huh? If only I had the option to increase my vitality stats back on Earth, I wouldn't have suffered from that horrible pandemic for two whole weeks.'
It was a truly harrowing experience that he wouldn't wish upon anyone.
...
[The Stamina statistic reflects your body's ability to sustain physical activity without getting tired or worn out easily. By increasing your Stamina stat, you can run longer distances, perform physical activities for a longer duration without getting fatigued, and endure physical strain better.]
[This stat affects not just your physical endurance, but also your mental endurance, allowing you to concentrate on a task for a longer period of time without feeling mentally drained or fatigued.]
'This stat seems almost too good to be true,' Lucien mused to himself, his curiosity piqued. 'To never get mentally or physically drained? It almost feels like cheating!' He couldn't help but imagine the possibilities. 'If I pair this up with agility, I could become a tireless runner, able to travel long distances without exhaustion. And imagine being able to study or learn for extended periods of time without needing sleep! Maybe I won't even need sleep at all at some point!' The excitement in his inner voice was palpable as he considered the potential advantages of such a stat.
...
[Lastly, Intelligence. In this case, Intelligence doesn't correlate with one's overall brain intelligence, but rather, a direct impact on the mana reservoir, which is the magical energy that one can tap into to cast spells. A higher Intelligence stat means a larger mana pool, allowing for more spells to be cast or more powerful spells to be used before running out of mana.]
[In addition, Intelligence can also affect one's capability to sense, detect, and counteract magical effects, making one more proficient in defending against magical attacks or dispelling enemy spells.]
...
After receiving Auman's explanation, Lucien became more confident about where to allocate his available stat points. He decided to distribute them on...

Debauchery_Scholar Sorry for the late update. I'm currently fasting, and I've been feeling feeble all day long. It was difficult to concentrate and perform tasks that require mental focus, such as writing. My thoughts are frequently interrupted by the anticipation of food ;(
