Lament of the Slave

Chapter 116: What a Mess

Apart from the visual 'improvements,' I've felt no other changes after taking [Call of Nature]. Not until I looked inside me and sensed my mana. There was more of it, more than I was used to. It was baffling, though. I just added the skill to my class skills, which should potentially raise the amount of mana my body can hold, not give me mana straight away.

The reason for it must have been elsewhere, but where?

I didn't add any stat points to Intelligence or Wisdom, and it was still the stats that were the worst in their base. Because of Dungreen, my main stat was the Constitution. Useful in its way, for sure. It made me healthier and more resilient as I found out from Lord Wigram, who explained the stat aspects to me. As far as I understood, I didn't have to worry about sicknesses, or at least diseases I knew from Earth. Who knows what kind of magic flu may have been rampant here.

Better not to think about it.

So my stats were a mess. With no word in it and collar around my neck, I could only grit my teeth when that madman forced me to fuck them up. More than ever before, now that I've had the opportunity to grow in my own way, I would appreciate more Intelligence and Wisdom. Doing some magic would be awesome.

"Perhaps in time, Korra," I mused, letting out a loud sigh. Right now, magic was a long-term wish. Not a pipe dream, but becoming a full-fledged mage was basically impossible for me.

That said, I had no choice but to go the way of the fighter, warrior, or some variation of them. I kept hoping that in time I would be able to incorporate some form of magic into my fighting style. However, even for a fighter, my stats were pretty unbalanced. Strength, Endurance, or Dexterity were severely lacking compared to the Constitution.

Dexterity wasn't even buffed by any skill. It was just pure...stat points. Shit!

At that moment, it hit me, and I facepalmed myself while laughing out loud like an idiot. I was so focused on skills that I forgot I still had six unspent stat points, another pending headache, a puzzle to solve on top of the already hard to crack skills riddle.

"How could I forget that?"

Feeling both tired and foolish, I finally took a good look at my Status Screen, something I should have done in the first place, right after my class evolution.

Have you ever had that feeling of shame after realizing you've been missing something obvious all along, something glaringly obvious that everyone saw or knew of, and only you were blind to it? Cause I had it right now, feeling like a colossal idiot.
