When Yei had successfully killed the previous wolf with a single stab. The system appears once again telling Yei that she had unlocked some skill, basic thrust and heavy thrust. She doesn't expect by killing a wolf she would gain some skills.
With that, she learns that to obtain skills, she needs to perform something to unlock it. Yei knows that if she attacks the wolves, she might unlock new skills but at the moment. Yei was extremely scared as the wolves gaze into her intensely.
Making Yei's hand tremble as she holds the dagger tightly on her hand. She knows that the wolves would lunge at her any moment now. Yei realized how hard it was for her to evade the incoming attack with her stats, but suddenly a text from the system appeared.
-STATS SCALING-
-SELECT WOLF STATS-
-CHARACTER STATS UPDATED-
Yei doesn't know what happens, but she doesn't pay attention to the wolves because of that sudden pop-up. One of the wolves already leaped towards her. Luckily, Yei's reaction was quick enough as she uses her dagger and slashes the wolf that is coming towards her.
"Weird... is that a level 1 reaction time, I thought I would be a little bit slower."
-BASIC SLASH ACQUIRE-
"It seems I was right then, I do to something to get skills but there is-"
To Yei's surprise, the wolf was dead after receiving that single slash from her. As Yei thought it was unlikely that the wolf dies in just a single hit. She was level 1 and the wolf was level 3, it at least needs two hits to kill the wolf.
"I guess that was a lucky hit then, good... one more left."
Killing the previous wolf gives Yei the confidence she needs to fight. Knowing that she could probably one hit the wolf. She just needs to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike the wolf as she can't afford to make a mistake here. Because Yei knows that she could be hurt as well.
Yei begins to taunt the wolf, hoping to recreate the scene from before. As she believes in her reaction and speed. The wolf fell for it as it lunged towards Yei. Yei simply does the same thing and the final wolf is dead.
-STATS SCALING-
-SELECT NONE-
-CHARACTER STATS UPDATED-
"Why was this stats scaling kept popping up..."
Yei was about to open her character profile but suddenly, there's another thing pop up on her system.
-EXP 450-
-LEVEL UP↑-
-CONGRATULATIONS ON LEVEL 4-
-SYSTEM FEATURE UNLOCK: DESCRIPTION-
-SYSTEM FEATURE UNLOCK: STORAGE-
"Wow, to think that the system congratulates me for reaching level 4, it feels like I had achieved something great. To think that I just unlocked some feature, I guess I will be reading what that stats scaling skill does..."
Yei then proceeded to her distinctive skill section and was about to read the description of the skill but she suddenly remembered something. The white hair girl that she just saves, Yei immediately approaches the girl but it seems like the girl fainted.
At first, Yei thought the girl was dead but after checking that the girl was still breathing... Yei figured out that the girl simply fainted as she was too scared to get killed by the wolves.
Looking at the girl's wounds, she realizes that it wasn't that deep. For that, Yei was relieved as if the wound was something serious. There's a chance that the girl might bleed out and Yei could not do anything at all. As neither she had a healing potion with him or knows any of healing magic.
Yei tried to shake her for a second to see whether the girl would awake but she remained unconscious. That left Yei with one option left, which was to wait for the girl to wake up. Yei knows that she couldn't just let the girl alone here as there might still be a monster or some dangerous beast lurking down the area.
With that Yei sit down next to the white hair girl as Yei opens up her system. Trying to read the stats scaling description while waiting for the girl to open her eyes up.
*Distinctive Skills*
-Stats Scaling = User stats will scale with the highest monster/creatures in the area, the user will have the same stats as the highest monster/creatures with only a 1% boost in the user's own stats. User stats would be reverted if the monster/creatures had been slain or the user wasn't in a 20-meter radius within the monster range.
"Now I know why I could defeat the wolves, I should have a slower reaction time but because my stats had changed similar to the wolves stats... I guess this stats scaling skill is pretty great."
After learning what the stats scaling does, Yei knows that she shouldn't be scared if she encountered a higher-level monster at all. Her stats would be automatically changed like the monster that Yei would face with just a 1% slight increase in her own stats.
"Wait a minute...!" Yei had realized something as she reread the whole description to make sure that she was right on something. "So stats scaling only applies to monster/creatures only... so if I was to encounter a bandit that is powerful, all I could do would be to run if I was still under level."
With that Yei realizes that there's some situation that makes the stats scaling completely useless. Yei figures out that she should hunt down the monster until she has reached a certain level. As with an EXP BOOST, she knows that it would be easier to level up.
Yei then recalls the moment when she had level up, it unlocked some other feature in the system. That was the storage feature. So Yei realizes that part of her system is still locked, to unlock them... Yei needed to level up.
...
"Ugh... am I dead?." Suddenly the girl beside Yei said those words as she finally awake.
