{[The Markings of the Death] A powerful gift from a being intangible to death. Use this gift wisely}
"You really did become my experience huh?" Marcus just sighed regretfully at the sad life of the skeleton warrior.
Marcus looked at the bone fragment remains in front of him.
"But what's this with the Marking?" Marcus questioned himself as he moved to give his respects to the fallen comrade.
[Ding*]
[The fragmented remains of your enemy has been discovered]
[You have absorbed the essence of the bones, and your body is getting stronger steadily.]
[Your Strength increased by 0.1]
[Your Vitality has increased by 0.2.]
The value-added in the information prompt is exactly the value added by his four-dimensional attribute!
"turn out to be..."
"Is this is the function of the Markings of the Death."
"No way in hell is that possible"
The jawbone rattled, if it weren't for the fact that he was just a skeleton now and couldn't make a sound without losing most of his mana, Marcus would have laughed out loud at this sudden surprise.
"Thank you for your gift, my Lovely goddess."
Deep in the abyss, at the edge of nothingness, a dark-robed figure snorted softly watching her brave hero, slowly preparing him to be the perfect man for herself.
"Soon my love. Soon."
Meanwhile, Marcus went around, hunting skeletons to use his markings on.
If Marcus' guess is correct, the role of his Marking is that when he kills a worthy enemy, he can essentially absorb the essence of the enemy's corpse and convert it into his own attribute value!
While pandora is technically a realised world it still essentially follows rules similar to that of a game.
Because the whole world is digitized by the rules of the game, which is connected by the database known as the System.
What matters most in such a surreal game?
Titles?
Profession?
Equipment?
No!
The most important thing is the attributes!
The attribute values predetermine your base multiplier, which is then further multiplied by a title; Equipping better equipment requires higher attribute values;
Advancement of professional templates requires attribute values;
Even becoming a priest or having a higher-end profession usually takes a high attribute individual instead of a lower attribute individual as it is usually associated with your talent.
Something that he never had before.
It can be said that whether it is a human, a player or a monster, the attribute value is the premise of everything!
Besides.
In such a real game world, four-dimensional attributes are the most direct response to the body.
For example, even a goblin is omnipotent as long as it is equipped with maxed attributes and a few sets of equipment and skills along with a few useful titles.
Hell, just having a good damage skill and title can essentially change the strongest person in the world.
In addition to upgrading and advancement, there are very few opportunities to increase attribute values in Pandora. One example of this would be the Markings.
The Markings are given by gods to their select followers, better known as their apostles.
These apostles are given everything they can ever want along with bundles of compliments.
"so talented"
"so skilful"
How could they not be talented? They are known due to their talent after all. Do you think people would bother about a stupid arrogant child if not for their potential and fear of getting cursed?
Marcus however, felt no different, though.
Even with this near unparalleled talent, he still hasn't forgotten that he is now just a small skeleton at the bottom of the undead race and at the bottom of the entire game world.
Before turning his potential into strength and becoming truly powerful, wretched development is the key.
Picking up a leg bone again from the ground full of skeletons, Marcus walked lightly towards another skeleton a few meters away.
step.
two steps.
Three steps.
Click!
No surprises.
When the thigh bone in his hand was broken into two pieces again, the skeleton in front of Marcus' face was broken like the first skeleton, and the grey-white skeleton shook lightly and scattered on the ground.
[You killed a Weak Skeleton]
[You gain 10 experience points]
[Experience is withheld and is held within the Markings of the Death]
Ignoring the system's prompt, Marcus squatted down again and covered the pile of bones left by the skeleton with his bone palm.
"Come on, do your thing..."
A familiar heat flow emerged and entered Marcus's body.
[Ding*]
[Suitable corpse detected*]
[Absorbing Corpse Remains*]
When the skeletons had also been absorbed of all the essence in their remains and turned into dust, a new system prompt had also been refreshed from his attribute panel.
[You have absorbed the essence of the bones, and your body is stronger]
[Your strength increased by 0.1]
[Your Agility has increased by 0.1]
[Evolution options are being shown*]
