Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Novel

-----

Right in front of me, my stats seemed odd… Very odd!

"Eh? What's wrong?" Wondered the Guider Spirit.

"My stats went up as usual when one levels up, and I was expecting 140 Stat points and Skill Points in total, but I got… 290 for each one instead?! Why?" I asked.

"One of the benefits of [Subclasses] is the bonus Stat Points and Skill Points… Remember that!"

"Race and Job Class Level Ups give 5 Skill Points and 5 Stat Points each, resulting in 10 of both as they level up simultaneously, with Subclass, that'll be an additional 5 and 5 for each of the Subclass levels."

"Due to that, you got 290 Stat Points and Skill Points instead. It is a ridiculous quantity, plus the 100 you got as bonus from evolving and changing class… Yeah, you've grown quite strong already, you might be naturally stronger than those at your own level, even."

"I feel somewhat nervous, as if I am about to get banned by breaking the rules of the game at any moment now… Ah, this feeling is not good for my heart…" I said.

"Don't worry, this is according to the game's functions. Subclasses are so rare because they grant an amazing power over players, and as they evolve you get even more benefits such as more Subclass Skill Slots, which can store any Skill between both Races and Classes. Quite handy, isn't it?" The Guider Spirit was happy to go back to his role as someone that explains the game to someone as clueless as me.

"O-Oh…" I sighed in relief. "Well, that's quite something…" I sighed once more. "For now, I should really just assign my Stat Points, but to what? Just MP doesn't seem as viable anymore, or well, it is, but it is boring… I kind of need more strength as well to use stronger weapons, as I've seen they got minimum Strength requirements to wield them even for farmers.

"Well if you pop all your stat points into STR you would be stronger than a Warrior-type Class at Level 40." Said the Guider Spirit.

"Eh? Wow… All hail the Subclass Cheat…" I said in disbelief.

"But I wouldn't recommend it, your main forte is agility, dexterity, and magic spells. MP is your lifeblood when it comes to conjuring magic, your main method of dealing damage." Said the Guider.

"But with me, you can also deal strong physical damage thanks to your special spirit farming tool mastery skill and the spirit vessel skill." Said the Great Spirit. "It would be good to distribute all stat points around carefully, not dump it all into one."

"I see… Let's take our time then."

After ten minutes of thinking and discussing, I was done.

Ding!

[You have exchanged 390 Stat Points]

[You gained +50 STR, +40 VIT, +50 DEX, +80 AGI, +100 INT, +30 WIS, and +40 LUC]

This time I didn't even increased my MP and went straight for the major Stats instead. I wanted to enhance my overall physique as a whole, and even added some into LUC because this stat is more important than I thought, as it triggers more special quests and can give me more special dropped items as well. It also calculates all RNG based enchantment items, such as Greater Potential Cubes, that can be used on items to awaken potentials that increase stats and grant bonuses, they're all RNG based and if you got high LUC, you have a higher chance to get nice stuff.

I've investigated and most people never increase their LUC, leaving it as it is. Instead, there are rare and highly treasured "Lucky" Players that pick specifically lucky Classes such as Thieves, Rogues, Jesters, and so on, with Races with the highest LUC growths as well and become special players that accompany others into Raids and Bosses just to increase the odds of dropping valuable materials of high quality. They're also often good at crafting and alchemy to make high quality items. Some people even pay them just to enhance their equipment for them.

And it results that Dryad is one of the top 3 Races with the highest LUC growth, the other two that are higher are Thieflings and Djinn… I might one day find one of these players, but they're very famous and literally paid to do the simplest of jobs sometimes… Maybe I could become a Lucky Player myself and get paid to enchant equipment for other people? The Guider told me that my LUC at 290 was already ridiculous, most players at my level usually have LUC around 50.

"Woah, I feel way better now that I got everything done… Now, I should probably go back with everyone. I can check the Skills later- No, I better do it now or I might forget. And as for Skill Points… I now got two whole new Skill Trees, so maybe checking them wouldn't hurt anybody…" I said, as the Guider Spirit seemed eager to show me the new Skills, as he manipulated the System with his authority and showed me everything new that I got.

First of all, I checked the newly Evolved Skills, which had become amazingly strong after reaching max Level and Evolving. Apparently Skills can Evolve every time your Class and Race evolve as well, but the level cap of the skills become bigger by +5 with each evolution. However, the top players all usually have ten super evolved skills at their latest evolution which they use to even deal direct damage to World Bosses.

My main methods of attacking are Magic, so I might begin pouring more Skill Points into Green Magic and Spirit Magic now that I've got enough MP to deal with their high cost spells!

Now let's see...
