Chapter 80: Cursed Gift
Chapter 80: Cursed Gift
Once Mark was done with them, he then moved over to the other free points that he had. He also had a thousand skill points to use any way he wanted, and Mark immediately decided to improve the True Sight skill first. That skill was very useful.
In fact, it was more useful than almost any other skill that Mark had because it allowed him to judge his opponent's strength and decide the best course of action to take in fighting against his opponent.
If you know your opponent's rank and skills, then there is nothing to fear since you can just think of a way to counter them! As Sun Zu said in the Art of War, know your enemy like yourself and you will win a thousand battles - or something like that.
Another skill that Mark wanted to work on was the Blunt Force Trauma Skill which allowed him to use Critical Attacks. It was too useful for Mark to leave it the way it was. If Mark improves these two skills along with his Full Body Constitution skill, then he would just distribute the remaining points to the other skills he had.

[Comment from GoG: You finally advanced in rank. You're going to love what comes next.]
...
Mark was happy about the changes he made to his system, and he was about to close down the tab so that he could get some rest, but he suddenly stopped as he read what Sozin wrote at the end of his system stats. What does he mean by what comes next?
Mark remembered that there was a time when Sozin told him to try and get his rank up to S as quickly as possible. Mark thought that Sozin was just saying that so that Mark would be able to fight against the monsters more easily, but now that Mark was thinking about it, that was probably not the case. Sozin is too much of a dick to care about Mark like that.
[Comment from GoG: You're really underestimating me!? Of course, I care about you! You're going to love this, I'm sure of it!]
Mark smiled as he read this message before a new message popped up from his system.
[The User has crossed the predetermined threshold A->S. The User has successfully gained a Cursed Item.]
Mark furrowed his brow as he read the message that the system sent to him and he wondered what sort of gift the system was talking about. Was the system giving him a gift for moving from A rank to S rank? That was awesome! Then, didn't that mean that the system would also give him a gift if he moved from S rank to the next rank?
Mark suddenly felt a great surge of motivation fill him as he wanted to reach the next rank as quickly as possible to see what sort of gift the system would give him then.
