Chapter 5: Stats, Skills and Talents
A month of agonizing decision making later, I got it. In response to the amount of blood I had to gather.
I decided I had to make a cult to do it.
{Maybe not the brightest decision.}
[But a good one.]
{Yep.}
[If you do make this cult and make them actually follow you, it'll work.]
{How in the fuck do I do that?}
[Sell your body?]
{...Janice. We'll have a talk about this later.}
I could almost hear the mocking shiver in her voice. Back then, I wasn't lying though. I WOULD GET HER BACK FOR THAT.
(Author: ...Is this?)
\Plot: Yes, now stfu and watch my work unfold. This is a good part.\
So, anyway, we brainstormed for a few days and tried to come up with ideas between classes until I obtained inspiration from an unexpected location.
"...so, that ends our lesson today. If you forget about the equations you've worked on today, it'll come back to bite you in the ass." I said in my altered voice. My words elicited tons of laughs from the students.
I turned off my mic and cleared my throat as I waited for everyone to get off the call. Eventually, only one was left. A boy from my class named Lyle. He's a nice kid, he loves webnovels and we discuss different concepts from time to time.
Turning on my mic and using my altered voice I asked.
"Something wrong Lyle?"
His mic was left on and I heard the crash of stuff falling.
"Ah, no. I was just in the novel. It's about a person who made a cult by pretending they're a god. The whole thing is a bit scattered and all but it works well with the way they send 'Divine Transmissions' through some kind of teleportation me-"
I tuned out the rest of it while subconsciously saying 'mhm' to show I was listening.
{Janice. Would we be able to do something like this?}
[...If we found a way to teleport messages then... yes, it would work.]
My mind's gears began to spin as ideas popped up. Slightly hesitantly, I interrupted Lyle to say.
"Sorry Lyle, I'd love to talk more but I have to prep for the next lesson, have a nice day."
"Ah. Alright, have a nice day Teach."
Turning off the computer I pushed my spinny chair backwards and turned to the get off. I went towards my closet and picked some ankle height black socks to pair with my black-bronze cargo pants and my black-bronze and red hoodie.
Putting them on, I went towards the front door to get shoes on.
[Rose? What in the world are you doing?]
Janice asked quizzically.
{We need someone right? A different race? Where else are we going to get them?}
I responded as I put on my black and red sneakers.
[...Do we have to go there?]
{Yup.}
I then mumbled.
"Time for our trip to the black market."
=---=(Two Hours of Travelling later)=---=
Me and Janice had arrived. We discussed previously what races we needed for this to work and I was surprised. Really surprised.
Anyway, I had advanced quite a bit in that past month. I unlocked a few forms somehow as well. I mentally incited the system.

'Talents. There are three types and three grades with multiple levels. Growth-type, Set-type and Joint-type.
Mineral, Gemstone and Flora Grades.
For Mineral, they go: Copper, Bronze, Iron, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum, Titanium.

And for Flora it's: Peony, Aster, Shasta Daisy, Morning Glory, Marigold, Sunflower, Lavender, Hydrangea, Dahlia and Azalea.'
As for after that? I didn't ask.
In terms of skills, you get to level five, it evolves after a while. Then it's level 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and so on. My Basic Water Magic should eventually evolve into the 'Water Control[Lv:1250]' that I need for the serpent.
I asked about skills and stats a week or so back and if there were such a thing, the response I got was the skills section and my human form stats.
»Rose Riso: Human Form
STR: 7
VIT: 14
AGI: 53
DEX: 42
END: 22
CHA: 19
INT: 15
SPI: 204
Kruna: 105/105
Industria: 5,715«
'Oh, and apparently, stats mean different things for each form. For example, the World Serpent Transformation had STR, VIT, AGI, SPD, CHA, INT. For all species, STR, VIT and AGI are Strength, Vitality and Agility respectively.
Strength increases your body strength and is how much damage you can do/endure with just your body. Mine was quite pitiful.
Vitality increases how fast you heal from poisons, diseases or fatal/nonfatal wounds. I had slightly better than average VIT.
Agility increases your speed, ability to accelerate/decelerate and reaction speed. Mine was apparently abnormal. Fuck if I know why.
SPI is... I don't know what it is. I know I have 'more than any human should ever be able to get' but that doesn't help me.
INT is the same for the World Serpent Species as it is humans, Intelligence. For each point in Intelligence, you get 7 points in Kruna and you get a slight boost in your ability to think faster. As for SPD and CHA, oh my lord they were different.
SPD stands for Siruped, which affects the bones and muscles of the World Serpent's body, as you increase it, you are able to twist your body with a frightening accuracy, it basically replaces DEX (Dexterity) in the human status, they both improve flexibility and finer control.
SPD should have other effects too, but I just don't know them and the system won't tell me.
CHA stood, not for charisma but, for Chark.'
'...Yeah.'
'What the fuck.'
I had asked the system at the time and its answer was: Chark is the Reptilian and Draconic race's way of producing Industria in their bodies.
'What is Industria?'
»System Cannot Answer at this time, please increase your level.«
'How do I increase my level?'
»System Cannot Answer at this time.«
[That's painful.]
{No shit sherlock.}
[Who's Sherlock?]
I sighed and facepalmed.
