Wisdom was a weird stat as the energy bar it use's, starts out at 0 and then increases the more you use the skills in your profession. Once it is full the user either passes out or dies.

Lich didn't really know what Paths to throw into the stat, so he kind of randomly selected. Setting up the Paths for the later parts of the stats were mostly randomly selected. Next Lich moved onto the Endurance Stat.

When Lich got to this stat to set up the Paths, his system gave him a notification. It told him if he was going to be called Lich, his race needed to be close enough. Then Necromancer And Boss was automatically set up in his stat.
Lich was amazed as he never heard about anyone putting Boss in their Endurance tab. The books speculated that only certain monsters in towers and dungeons had this Path in their Race, but it was never stated in the books that anyone proved it.
The next stat Lich moved to was the Utility Stat. This was a stat that is used with building and crafting items. Though Lich could of made something like being able to build a tank, he decided to make a drink that could help him sleep. Though some of the Paths used were very... weird.

"This should knock me out and help me sleep."
After naming the drink, Lich's Sleeping Medicine, Lich moved onto his Mystery stat. The Mystery stat was just how lucky you were. Even if you have the percentage up to 100% it isn't guaranteed to happen as it is always 0% to your max percentage.
Scoring 200% allows a random special event to occur. It however isn't always good.

Lich's Attacks were going to annoy the shit out of anyone he fights. He kind of regrets not putting the Poison Path here but it was better where he put it. Lich moved on to his last stat.

After double checking his stats and the Paths he had access of, he finally got a notification that would push things forward.
[A Challenger Has Appeared. The Champion Of Fire: Blaze Fire]
...
In what looked like a locker room was a young man with rainbow colored hair. A passerby would assume he was talking to himself, but the person he was conversing with was the Server 0 Flame Elemental User stored in his system.
"Why are you so worried about this fight Ancestor? I saw this idiot in the pseudo E rank place. He doesn't even seem like a fighter. I can just blast him with my fire and win easy."
"Foolish Champion, this is not a fight to take lightly. No one has ever saw the First Lich fight himself. We only ever got as far as his summons. So it doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to fight, that is what his summons are for."
Blaze started to laugh.
"I don't have to worry about summons. My Meteor combo is going to end his life! He is most likely going with the sacrifice stat build and focus all his things on his summons. So after I bomb his zombies I will just bomb him or even have fun smacking him around with my Stave."
The sacrifice stat build is where the User selects only 10 Paths as their main Paths, while the rest are sacrificed to power up the select paths. These builds get to start with the 10 Paths in G rank and focus on the stat they put as their main stat.
Once they finish G rank they get to focus on another stat for F rank. Blaze like most other mage like characters picked Wisdom as their first stat to build upon. This allows them the wisdom of the 10 paths. For F rank Blaze has selected the Strength stat.
The 10 Paths of Blaze was Fire, Stave, Meteor, Phoenix, Robe, BBQ, Criminal, Esper, Dragon, Magma. He is able to use the form of all of these in an attack. He is able with this build to take out any normal summoner. So a Lich who focuses on summons would lose to him.
Unlucky for Blaze that Lich didn't seem to care much for summons. Even more so when the fact that Lich not only used a different build than the sacrifice. Also the fact that everyone is assuming he put Charisma as his main stat instead of doing a balance build. Lich was the only one of the Champions who used a balance and a non sacrifice stat build.
"Just be careful. He should have that scary bastard talking to him like I am talking to you. So he might give him a way to beat you. Even though none of us ever really saw him doing his Paths we did see his summons doing them. His Fire summon even could match up to me so the training they must have will give him a advantage."
"Well I will be careful then. When I win, will you really be able to travel together with me?"
The Fire Ancestor let out a laugh that seem to be full of happiness.
"Yes we will be together forever. I will also tell you the reason why I picked you to be my Champion."
