Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 170 - News And Updates

The siblings logged out after clearing the dungeon. Although we did all the dungeons a speedrun clear, it made them hungry and exhausted so they decided to log out from the game to get some grub. As for me, I don't think I am hungry or in need of rest. I have lots of things to catch up on after the battle in Sandurk ended and my successful foiling Kazuki's plan is also done.

Since we are no longer going to fight a dungeon for today, I sent Lina back to the inn and returned to my mansion to do some of the things I didn't do for quite a while. And that would be opening my stats.

Despite my several leveling up and reaching level 100, I didn't open my stat for quite a while and didn't invest in the AP at all. My SP is also stockpiled that I have not spent them to upgrade some of the basic skills that I have been using for quite a while. Maybe it is time to spend them thoroughly.

I noticed the note next to my level. I didn't expect to see the note on it and the ridiculous amount of EXP needed to level up in the future. Before, whenever I level up, the maximum exp needed to level up only increases by 5000 per level but now it is multiplied. No wonder I needed a ton of exp just to level up and it is not a joke. So if I reach level 103, I will need to get 4 million exp. Once I leveled up again, the 4 million number will reach 8 million?! Isn't this just total insanity?! The amount of EXP I needed is just too massive I don't think I will be able to escape level hell in this case!

No wonder the Versatile Class sucks once it reaches level 100 beyond. The grind just to level up is more hellish compared to the grind necessary to level up in normal classes. Did I just dig my own grave by seeing my stats?

As for the stats, due to the high ramp of AP added to my stats with my Versatile Weapon alone, I have not spent any of my AP at all. Now that I think about it, the Versatile Weapon compensates for my level's cons. Since I won't be able to level up frequently with the amount of exp needed just to increase a single level, AP gain will also be stagnant and the stats I gain from armor and accessories along with some titles are too limited to increase my stats. Meaning, I can't tackle harder enemies with the stats I have.

If not for the massive stats gain my Versatile Weapon have, I would have been too weak compared to my level especially that I have yet to spend my AP. I would have died in the Sandurk region if not for the Versatile Weapon.

"Damn, to think the Versatile Weapon would save my ass for this level mechanic the Versatile Class has."

Now that I have seen the importance of stat gain of the Versatile Weapon, the only means I have to increase my stats more is to feed Versatile Weapon with more weapons, armor, and other stuff. That way, the increase would help me clear up things. After all, the level is just a number and will not reflect much on the performance of your ability to fight and the stats of your equipment. The level is just there to measure how hard you have worked so far. It is not even needed to enter a dungeon. The only time you needed to enter a dungeon at a specific level is just below 20. After that, you are free to enter the dungeons no matter what your level is.

I have used so many skills from different classes that I have stacked up quite an amount already. The title's effect also doubled up my SP gain every time I get some, which allows me to get more SP to use to buy skills I can use in battle. I hardly have to spend the original SP I gain every level up due to the amount of individual class SP stack I have right now.

F*ck, to think neglecting my stats panel for quite a while would turn out to be a hassle. Now that I have actually seen it, I think I needed to take a small break in the game and rest for a while. I don't have any urgent quest to complete and the Secret Main Quest is not a timed one so we can just take our time to do it in the future. F*ck my stats panel, I will invest the AP I got later and just forget about it.

Logging out will help me cool my head and do it for later.

...

Returning to reality, I immediately dive to my bed and close my eyes. I made my choice to return in the past but it seems my journey for revenge will be a very long one. I can't also focus alone in the game, I also needed to prepare myself in real life and get myself prepared too. I needed to progress my body as soon as possible and regain back the usual state of my body back in the past timeline so that I can at least gain the ability to fight back especially that classes will soon begin again.

I will be planning to graduate early so that I can focus on the game a lot more. With all the knowledge inside my head for the next couple of school years, even if I wanted to ace the school works, I can easily do that without a problem and still get the highest honors which will be useless in the future since the game will be the center of everything in the future that your degree earned in the school doesn't matter anymore and the ability to work is the one much measured by everyone to do the job.

You have a degree in your school and you have the highest honors but you suck at this job? Then you can't have this job. You are good in your hands, you can become a carpenter, a plumber, an astronaut, a doctor, or a teacher? You are hired. And with the coming of magic in this world in a few years, things will change a lot.

Right, I think it is time to ask the private investigator about my parents' situation. It's been a few weeks since the last time I heard of them. My father still has no news to relay about Mother's situation which means she is still in a coma. I am just waiting for his update but I think there is no update at all from him which means I have to do things on my own and do my own job to work out in this situation. Money is not a problem, and I am willing to spend them if I can get closure to this case.

Grabbing my Holophone, I contact the investigator I hired to work on my parents' case and decided to find out the progress of his work.

"Hello. Are there any updates regarding what I let you work at?" I asked the moment he picked

"Yes. I have yet to contact you because I have been gathering a few more conclusive pieces of evidence since I didn't expect things to be so big and complicated. Your parents were entangled to a very big sh*t that it will take the effort, time, and money just to remove them from this particular web."

"What do you mean?"

"It seems a group that your father was in during his high school days were out to take revenge against him. It seems your father did something for them to be really angry that they wanted to deal with your father personally. This group and your father did not meet until the time your parents needed money and decided to get money from a loanshark which was managed by the group that was out to get your father. It seems your father has yet to know about this as he was still oblivious.

Not only that. I also found some evidence that your Mother's hit and run accident was not just some sort of accident that randomly happened and your mother was the unfortunate one to receive it. It was a planned-out accident that was meant to take down your mother to upset your father."

I clench my fist hearing this. It seems not only Kazuki is my target for revenge. A group also wanted to join the f*cking fray.
