Chapter 29 - Limitless System
Chapter 29 - Limitless System
{Do you wish to gain the Bloodlust characteristic} the system asked.
"Yes" ??
Adam noticed that during the system's explanation that it said 'beings' instead of beasts when explaining his Bloodlust characteristic, which confirmed his thought of the characteristic still being with him in reality, but knowing that there were cultivators out there it weirdly made him feel safer to have the characteristic that would remove all guilt while killing and would opposing bring him joy.
Waiting and expecting to feel an awakening of the characteristic or a painful experience before he gained the characteristic, Adam was confused when nothing happened and after standing still for a minute with his fists tightly clenched waiting for something to happen, but nothing happened.
[System has the characteristic been integrated] he asked.
{Yes, I don't know what the host was waiting for and the characteristics that are obtainable are based upon the host and as the host has already realised you already had a heavy Bloodlust before integrating with the characteristic} the system stated.
The realisation that he subconsciously avoided was now confirmed by the system, but now gaining a complete characteristic for it, he was unsure of whether it was a good or a bad thing.
But the one thing he did know was that he needed strength and if this would help him achieve his aim, then the consequences can be dealt with.
{The host will now be transported back to Floor 1 and the host still has 12 hours in the Dungeon} the system announced.
Instantly he felt the same sensation of being sucked from one space and into another and as soon as he felt he was back in a physical form he was struck the bone-chilling winds of the mountain.
However, he could also feel that it had slightly less of an effect on him even without the E- Rank Fur Jacket.
"This must be because of my resistance stat increasing which improves the body's resistance to anything and everything that would have an effect on me" he mumbled to himself.
"That reminds me I have 3 stat points, right, system" he remembered.
{That is correct the host has 3 unused stat points, one from the LVL UP and the other two for completion of the Canidae Sub-Dungeon} the system confirmed.
"Spend 1 on MP, 1 on Speed and 1 on resistance" he decided.
Adam's ideal fighting style would be one that would use a lot of MP when using his Collector Skill, while he relies on extreme speed to overwhelm his opponents.
While the resistance stat increase was only for him to be able the cope with the cold better on the Floor he was currently on.
"Status"
Mortal LVL: 6
EXP: 340 / 800
HP: 150 / 150
MP: 19 / 19
Strength: 15
Speed: 17
Intelligence: 20
Resistance: 16
Charisma: 5
Luck: 5
Seeing his status he was pleased and couldn't help but see that his highest stats were his MP and Intelligence and from playing games he came up with the obvious conclusion.
"I am on track to becoming a mage" he exclaimed.
But remembering his unique constitution, he knew he couldn't be put into specific categories and was capable to be any type of cultivator and could fit into any class as long as he used his stat points and system points in the areas that suited that area.
"For now I will hunt on this stage of the dungeon where I should be able to find Canidae beasts" decided Adam who wanted to focus on what he could do in the current moment and didn't want to ponder to far into the future and get distracted.
He knew that the Dungeon was split into different stages and in this dungeon, the lowest stage was the Leporidae stage and now he was in the Canidae stage.
What he noticed while he hunted snow hares is that they would respawn or be replaced every time he returned back to the Dungeon in similar areas so it is most likely made and controlled by the system.
Suppressing the thought that kept rising about the origin of the Dungeon System, Adam withdrew his two daggers, that he had placed the inventory, and was reminded about another thing he didn't check, the item he received from killing the Grey Wolf Boss Beast.
Checking his inventory he was let down to see that it was only an E Rank Wolf Sabre as he was hoping for an E+ Rank weapon or maybe even a D- Rank weapon.
It was still a good weapon and had pretty good effects.
E Rank Wolf Sabre
Effects:
+10 in HP
+1 Resistance
+1 Strength
Putting it back in the inventory he chose the daggers that he could dual wield as his main weapons for the time being.
"I also have the fighting style of a rogue and an assassin" he realised.
Using short blades and relying mainly on speed and stealth for quick kills was very similar to the stealthy and dexterous rogue class and the stealthy and the rapid killer assassin class in games, which the Dungeon System was very similar to.
Knowing this he was beginning to find his skills with weapons being subpar to his body and he was only using them directly and wildly without any real skill or training.
Bringing up the menu screen in front of him Adam saw the usual tabs he recognised: store, status, beastpedia, but also saw a new tab that he didn't recognise initially.
"Mastery, since when was there a mastery tab" exclaimed Adam in surprise.
{The mastery..} the system was about to explain before Adam stopped him.
Remembering that he was in a dangerous dungeon and he was in the cold and vulnerable, dashed towards the Leporidae stage that he near to and climbed up onto the top of a large maple tree to be safe from any sneak attacks.
[You can continue now] he stated eagerly wanting to hear what the mastery tab offered him.
{Well, before I was rudely interrupted, the mastery tab shows the host how much mastery he has of different skills, weaponry, occupations and anything else that can be mastered. The mastery can be increased with system points and increases the mastery according to the difficulty of what the host is attempting to learn} the system explained.
Adam was in awe of all the system's capabilities that seemed to be infinite and not only restricted to allowing him to hunt in the dungeon.
"The amazing Dungeon System is limitless" he praised in glee.
Overjoyed and excited to gain mastery that he planned to use on daggers he was instantly ticked off when he tried to click on it and heard a notification.
{Ding, The Mastery Feature must be unlocked with 250 system points} the system announced.
"Damned system" he bellowed in annoyance.
