Bab 17: Am I op now?
"That's a lot of attribute points, truly basic body strengthening can't compare." Aster remarked.
'Attributes'
[Hp: 800/800] [Energy:950/950] [Mana:700/700]

[Available attribute points:0]
[Available skill points:30]
'Heh, to think dexterity was the attribute I was the most lacking in, to the point where I got paralyzed but now I literally have 130 of it!'
The effect of high dexterity was clear, his mind felt perfectly in sync with his body, Few weeks ago, his dexterity was at 0 and because of it, his mind was detached from his body and thereby paralyzing him. Dexterity represents coordination, reaction and reflex after all.
'Now, absorb 6 soul fragments!'
A wisp like soul of night appeared, except that its core was yellow and the fog was blue. It traveled to Aster's heart and was absorbed.
[6× Basic soul fragment has been absorbed]
[18 attribute points gained]
[18 skill points gained]
'Add 5 points to strength and agility, 8 to mana'
[Strength: 80] [Agility: 80]

'Haha, cultivation is really a good way to get strong if you can do it right. Now, time to go to a dungeon and get some classes.'
***
In front of Aster, there was a portal.
The portal was sphere shaped with a 2m radius and made out of black and white swirling energy. It looked like a miniature star.
Although he was a good dozen meters away from it, he could sense the gravitational pull of the subspace, sucking the surrounding mana into it.
With a boom, Aster dashed from his position to the Subspace in a second.
[A quest has arrived]
[Optional quest: Defeat the Boss]
[Quest difficulty: C]
[Quest danger: D]
[Rewards: 2500 credits, 3000 exp, small skill proficiency bonus]
Aster landed in a plain forest. Bright sun, fresh air and greenery all around him. The only thing that ruined this peaceful image was a 2m tall, gray wolf, snarling at him.
Aster used [True sight] to appraise it.
'It's really handy now that I don't lose brain cells every time I use it.'
[Species: Dire wolf]
[Level: 23]
[Rank: Basic, standard]
[Core: Stage 3/9]
[Hp:420/420] [Energy: 460/460] [Mana: 810]
[Attributes:
Strength: 73 Agility:91
Endurance:46 Vitality: 42
Mana: 81 Intelligence:16
Dexterity:30 Perception:43
Defense: 64 Physical attack: 219]
[Passive skills: Enhanced senses Lv 10, Pack member Lv 10]
[Active skills: Slash Lv 6, Bite Lv 10, Dash Lv 2, Howl Lv 7]
Without saying anything, Aster sent 4 wind slashes towards it. It dodged two, jumped over one but got split in half by the next.
[You have killed a Basic Lv 23 Dire wolf]
[Gained 231 exp]
[Obtained Basic soul fragment×1]
[Obtained Essence of might×1]
[Ability: Wind manipulation proficiency has been increased by 2]
[Class: Wind mage proficiency has been increased by 3]
[Class: Wind mage has advanced to (Beginner)]
[Class bonus: 10% more efficiency with wind skills, +5 mana, +10 Intelligence, [Wind spear Lv 1], [Wind barrier Lv 1]]
[The skill [Gale cutter] has leveled up]
"Haha, this is seriously broken. Time to get the Assassin class now"
[[Detection] has been used]
[-250 mana]
[Mana: 580/830]
Aster then followed the skill's signal and hid on top of a tree while eyeing his next prey. He intended to assassinate this one and get the class.
The wolf's nose twitched, seemingly catching the scent of Aster. But before it could look up, he dropped down from the tree and used [Vital Strike] two times with his dual daggers and stabbed it in the head.
[Ability: Dagger mastery proficiency has been increased by 1]
[Class: Assassin proficiency has been increased by 7]
[Class: Warrior proficiency has been increased by 1]
"Wew, that's a huge increase, maybe it's because dire wolves have good senses and are harder to assassinate so I get more proficiency. I only need to assassinate 10 more dire wolves and I'll get the class. No need to pay attention to warrior class since it will increase on its own the more I engage in melee combat."
After looting the wolf, Aster used [Detection] once again and ran to get more exp.

'The monsters are not respawning, I guess that's it for this dungeon then. Time to meet the big doggo.'
In a big clearing, there stood a majestic beast. 4 meters tall, silver colored fur and a horn on its forehead, resembling a unicorn.
This was the boss, an intermediate ranked beast right on the verge of a breakthrough. When an intruder came alone, it was joyous thinking it would finally evolve to the next rank. Even if the intruder dies or kills, it would have benefited anyway. But the expected energy never came. The intruder came in and killed its brethren but there was no energy, this meant that the boss would not be able to evolve now and its minions would take years to be reborn. It felt enraged at the fact. It howled with great ferocity and then charged straight at the giant bundle of aura.
And at the center of the aura cloud, Aster waited. Trees were destroyed, paving a way for the king of this forest. The two met, one brimming with wrath while the other glowed with power. The two clashed but the result became obvious.
The boss fell down, its head rolling down on the ground. Blood was spurting from its neck like a fountain, staining its brilliant fur red. The creator of this brutal scene stood a few meters away from the corpse, with a disappointed expression.
'Damn, only 14 exp needed to level up.' he thought.
'But still, my damage output is really high for my level. I took down a 1300hp boss within a second. My physical damage is in the hundreds, a dozen points from a dagger and the triple damage from [Vital strike]. On top of that, I had two daggers so the damage was doubled. I'm getting stronger. Looks like I have to fight advanced ranks from now on.'
