Chapter 70 - Level Up

-----

[Eleanora] has Leveled up from Level 0 to Level 1!]

[Your Spirit Power increases]

[Your Spirit's Skills have gained Bonus Skill Proficiency]

[Eleanora] has gained Bonus Stat Points and Skill Points]

[Eleanora] has learned the Skill [Blood Bat Transformation: Lv1]!]

"Ah, I've also leveled up? I feel stronger all of the sudden… Hm? I think I can do something else now…" said Eleanora.

She quickly realized she had changed and gained a new Skill. It appears that my Spirits might level up close to me, at least Eleanora will, most likely.

She gained a new Skill as well named Blood Bat Transformation. A Skill that allows her to transform into a small blood bat, I assume.

This is a basic Vampire ability we possessed in our previous lives. It worked well to do recon and sneak around while flying high into the skies.

Of course I doubt I could ever use it now for the moment… but Eleanora can, which could bring her the ability to do some nice recon on her own in the middle of the night. The transformation doesn't seems to drain Mana aside from the initial cost, so it seems good.

I could also use it to camouflage her into a more normal-looking Spirit than a Humanoid Spirit… Maybe.

However, there is something else, the Skill Points and Stat Points.

Eleanora flapped around using her wings as a little bat no bigger than the palm of my hand, she looked fluffy and adorable.

While she did that, I checked my Status to see the things I had.

I felt it all around my body already, the Stats did indeed increase greatly, the power I had gotten wasn't anything to scoff at… A single level up gave me more stats than I could have made on my own aside from drinking the Mana Potions, which also had their own limit.

My flow of Mana, my physical strength, the durability of my body, my agility, senses, reflexes, stamina, and even the flow of my Qi and Aether had strengthened…

And I also had ten Stat Points and ten Skill Points… I can already assume a few of the things they could do, but it is better to check it in the Grimoire itself.

I began to browse through the Grimoire until I saw a page showing their function.

-----

[Stat Points: Can be relocated into any Stats to increase them. After initial relocation, Stat Points cannot be retrieved back. HP and MP increase stats by +2 with 1 Stat Point instead of +1]

[Skill Points: Can be used to learn Skills in the Job Class Skill Tree or used in Skills to strengthen them. 1 Skill Point = 1000 Skill Proficiency Points]

-----

Oh? Interesting. It appears I can get ten and ten points with each Level. I can use the Stat Points for… well, give myself one more stat for each… and then Skill Points allow me to learn new Skills from a Skill Tree or… use them to strengthen already existing Skills.

I should quickly relocate the Stat Points first, but what should I invest?

Mana, of course.

All my Stats should go to Mana, it is one of the most important Stats, without it, Eleanora won't be able to showcase her abilities, and she's a strong asset in my party.

And without it, I won't be able to use as many Spells. 10 Mana Points seem hard to come by, it would take me I don't know how long to make it, while strengthening my body doesn't seem as hard than increasing my max amount of Mana…

[You've relocated 10 Stat Points into 20 Mana Points!]

Oh, 20? It seems that while other Stats are 1 = 1, Mana Points and Health Points are 1 = 2… I see. That makes it even better then.

20 Mana means I can conjure around four to five more Spells, and that also means Eleanora can use Bloodwork and Shadow Sneak more freely as well.

Now, let's see the Skill Tree.

Do I have any? I don't have Job Class…

When I found the page, there was a large tree painting that showed in the roots the [Classless] on it.

And then, it branched upwards into small bubbles, each bubble showed a Skill icon, there were only a few of them, not as many branching Skills as I would had imagined.

The Skills that a Classless could learn were also not the strongest nor anything focused on fighting. It appears that they were all "generalist" Skills, such as Acrobatics, First Aid, and more.

I wondered if I could learn them by myself without having to waste Skill Points for them, but then I checked them well, and their descriptions said "Only learnable through Skill Points or through Special Conditions", I suppose Lucifer had covered that area.

Although they seemed simplistic skills, they were still Skills I wouldn't be able to learn normally anyways. Such as Savior and First Aid, they required very specific conditions to learn.

Then… I only had ten Skill Points, each Skill cost just that to learn, so I could only pick a single Skill.

There were a dozen of them, and if I get 10 every level, I could learn most of them after reaching Level 10… but wouldn't it be good to save some points for later? If I can get Skill Trees from Job Classes… then there will be better Skills to waste my points on.

Hm…
