As I lie, the sun's doing its magic and heating me up. It's strange, but I feel at peace right now. Just lying in the grass, waiting for my clothes to dry off.
It would be better without this menu.
[Please select a specialty stat.]
[STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA.]
It's been here as long as I've been, and I've been putting off actually acknowledging it.
I guess I'd better.
Which one should I choose? Being a specialty means I must get some sort of boost, maybe a skill. What would each stat give?
Strength is probably just... that. Maybe some sort of berserker skill? Kind of boring.
Dexterity. Probably stealth, or maybe a speed skill. Flash stepping was always cool to see. I mean, not like I actually watch that stuff. Anyway, Dexterity would be a good choice.
Constitution. I don't know, I'll come back to it.
Intelligence and Wisdom are definitely magic related. Magic is cool and all, but I feel like the whole "Reincarnated with an OP Magic Ability" thing has been overdone. Well, if I'm part of the genre now, should I just contribute to it? No, I'm better than that.
Charisma would be really helpful if there were people around here, too bad it's just grass as far as I can see.
Hm... Let's see if there's a skill list.
"Menu."
[Please select a specialty stat before proceeding to the game.]
No way around it. Guess I'll just pick Dexterity, being able to run away from fights is pretty good.
[Dexterity - Flexibility, stealth, and movement assistance.]
[Would you like to specialize in Dexterity?]
Oh. They come with explanations.
[Strength - Muscle density and explosive power.]
[Constitution - Physical wellness, resistance to damage and disease. High levels grant pain resistance.]
[Intelligence - Logical and magical comprehension, enhances memory.]
[Wisdom - Knowledge application and perception, expands mana pool.]
[Charisma - Persuasion.]
Along with Dexterity, that's every stat.
Overall, these descriptions are weirdly realistic. Charisma's leaves a bit to be desired.
But none of the classic "+1 damage per level" stuff. Well, Wisdom is kind of like that, but it's really vague.
Anyway, the standout has to be Constitution. It's the only one that has a note about high levels, like it wants me to get it there. Am I overthinking it? Probably. But I can't shake the feeling I get about it. If it ends up as a bad choice, I'll just increase my other stats until it doesn't matter.
[Would you like to specialize in Constitution?]
"Yeah."
[Specialty stat selected.]
[Individual Stat Points (SP) allocated to Constitution will now increase its value by 2.]
[You have received a skill.]
[Regeneration - Special]
[Skills ranked as "Special" have the most available upgrades out of every rank.]
[JORUNEY START - Successfully completed. Received 1 SP.]
[Please enjoy the game.]
