[-100 Mana.]
Immediately, the feeling of having his mana almost emptied struck him, leaving him somewhat dazed and dizzy. At the same time, Damien gripped tightly onto his thigh, causing a wave of pain to appear.
[-1 Hp.]
[-1 Hp.]
[-1 Hp.]
This sharp pain allows him to remained lucid as he focused on the skeleton corpse.
[Ding! Resurrect succeed x1]
[Ding! Common Skeleton Gained +1.]
The skeleton bone rattled with great intensity, as though it was pulled back from the afterlife and onto the living world.
Immediately, Damien face relaxed as the skill is updated on his stat window.
[Corrupted Resurrection] (Level 1)
[✦Limit: 1/ 2 Undead]
The skeleton became whole again after being resurrected. It stands proudly next to Damien. The empty eye socket has a blue light rested in it rather than the crimson one from before.
It is at this moment that Damien knew, he had obtained his first summon.
"Status Window." He called out, attempting to see the changes to his stats.
Name: Damien Clementine
Class: (C) Divine Saint ★★★★★
Species: Human
Race: N/A
Level: 1
Faction: N/A
Experience: 0/100
Health: 30
Mana: 200
Stamina: 12
Strength: 6
Intelligence: 20
Agility: 7
Luck: 7
Points available to allocate: 32/32
"32 stat points? I thought I only leveled up once," He said to himself. Normally, each level only grant you 5 stat points to allocate.
Yet, at level 2, he already has thirty two stat points to allocate?
"Wait, my class is [Mythical Ranked], this must be a first time achievement title reward!"
Immediately, he look around and there it was, the glorious title which was hidden beneath his name.
[Title: First Mythical-Ranked Class Holder]
Effect: Each level increase, gain an additional +3 stat point to allocation.
✦One-time Reward: +25 Stats Points.
"This title is too perverted!"
The implication of this title and its effect is simply way too broad.
Even someone with Damien experience after playing [Nebula Online] for ten years, he has never encounter a title with this sort of effects.
Not to mention the +3 additional allocations for every level, just the additional +25 points at the beginning of the game alone would easily give him a headstart before anyone else!
This advantage cannot be underestimated.
For a moment, Damien couldn't steady his mind straight. The skeleton noticed the abnormality and tilted its head, confused as to why Damien was acting strange.
"Kuk Kuk?"
Upon thinking about the 25 additional stat point, Damien finger trembled in front of the stat window.
After all, this is equivalent to five level worth of stats!
While everyone else start at lvl 1, he basically has the stats of a lvl 6 player!
Damien took a minute to consider his choices, finally choosing to split his allocates point instead of specializing early on.
[Ding! +4 Strength.]
[Ding! + 13 Agility.]
This brought his [Strength] to 10, which is the value for an average adult's strength. His [Agility] increased to 20, double the value of an average adult's agility.
All this left him with 15 points to allocate.
Normally, he wouldn't spend this much points into agility so early on, and instead focused on a specific stat that would benefit his class later at lvl 10.
However, since he already has a class, he didn't need much planning and consideration.
Actually, the main consideration for why he chose to put more points into Agility is for two reason— his skill and current circumstances.
[Corrupted Holy Blessing]
Effects: Increase EXP earned by 50%
Debuff: Increase all damage taken by 25% while effect is active
Range: Self and nearby ally
Cooldown: 5 minutes
Duration: 5 minutes, 30 seconds
✦HP Cost: 10% of Max HP
This skill is great, providing him with a 50% EXP increased gained. It can also be maintained permanently, since the cool down is 5-minute while the duration is 5-minute thirty second.
But it consume his max hp while giving him a debuff that would increase all incoming damage by 25%.
If this was a game, he could risk not wasting points in agility and rely on his own ability to dodge to maximized efficiency.
However, this is real life.
'I don't know if death is permanent… It is best to play it safe,' He thought as he stood up to pat his rugged clothing.
Another reason why he made it 20 Agility instead of 15 or lower is for a passive skill.
[Ding! You have reached the requisite for passive skill [Nimble]. ]
[Nimble]
Note: You ran quite a lot didn't you? How about running slightly faster?
Passive Effect: Increase movement speed by 3%.
'3% increase is minuscule, but it all adds up.'
Speaking of passive skill, his starting intelligence stat is actually at 20? Normally, in game, a person's stat start between the value of 5-10.
Damien find it quite interesting that his strength is lacking in comparison to his Intelligent stat.
At this moment, he quickly spent the rest of his stat point into [Intelligence], bringing it up to a whooping 35.
Looking at his stat now, he can't help but turn his head to the skeleton next to him to see if it could see what he was seeing right now.
Name: Damien Clementine
Class: (C) Divine Saint ★★★★★

Race: N/A
Level: 2

Experience: 0/103
Health: 50
Mana: 350

Luck: 7
Points available to allocate: 0/0
With each point in Strength or Intelligence, five point of Health/Mana is increased proportionally.
"I can't believe this is the stat of a level 2 player…" He hissed with cold breath.
Damien remained in the sparse room of this particular area of the catacomb, recovering his mp to the max before taking a moment to crouch down.
"Kuk Kuk?" The skeleton was confused seeing Damien bend down.
"I don't have a weapon for you right now, this will have to do." He said, handing the skeleton a small pebble before getting up.
The skeleton was confused, but it didn't disobey Damien's command.
At the same time, it can't help but feel a little fearful at the small pebble resting in its skeletal palm.
Then, Damien quickly gave it a name.
This is because without a name, it is not possible to view the stat of his skeleton summon.
"You are now Bone 1!"
[Bone 1]
Level: 1
Health: 102
Mana: 0
Stamina: 19
Strength: 7
Intelligence: 4
Agility: 7
Luck: 5
Skills: N/A
"This is… too weak!"
Seeing its pitifully low stat, Damien had the urge to smack its skull wide. But he didn't, afraid that a slap from him would result in a critical hit.
"Kuk Kuk?"
Meanwhile, [Bone 1] stared at Damien, its blue light flickering.
Clearly, it was elated at Damien's kind gesture of bestowing it a name and as well as gift — a small pebble.
