Son Of Chaos 19 Rewards

< congratulation="" you="" have="" finished="" the="" quest="" clear="" the="" caves="" of="" leuren.="" reward:="" skill:="" shadow="" stats="">>

* This was the skill mentor wanted me to learn right? *, Ivan thought to himself and took a look at the skill.

< skill:="" shadow="" stats="" (e)="">

For each stat point you gain you will get 0.1 shadow stat. Shadow stats won't influence your training speed.

>>

* This seems really useful, but also a bit weak.*

Before Ivan could further think about it the next prompt came up.

< congratulation="" you="" have="" finished="" the="" quest="" first="" dungeon.="" reward:="" t.i.tle:="" dungeon="" diver="" ,="" skill:="" reincarnation="" (f)="">>

This was the skill Ivan had been waiting for, so he hurriedly checked it out.

< skill:="" reincarnation="">

Cool down: 48 h

Effect: After death you will change into soul-form, where you are indestructible, but are unable to do anything besides using the interface. You can then come back to life at a spot you have set before. If the skill is on cool down, you have remain in soul-form until it has recharged.

You will also lose 5 - 10 random stat points.

Remark: You won't lose shadow stats.

>>

After reading that Ivan was really happy and after reading the remark he had a daring idea. * If I increase my stat points to 11 for all of them and then die wouldn't that mean that I would have 1 shadow stat while it would still be easy to increase the stats again. And what if I repeat it?*

Once Ivan had this idea he couldn't help but wanting to try it but now was not the time, so he took a look at his last reward.

< t.i.tle:="" dungeon="" diver="">

You have ventured deep into a dungeon and killed the final boss.

+1 Possible boss drop (highest grade F)

Clear a dungeon of higher rank to increase the rank of this t.i.tle.

>>

* Wow! *, Ivan was stunned speechless, * Still who knows if this ever triggers. *

While he had looked over his quest rewards, the others had checked out the dead boss, but besides his fangs and a piece of pelt there was nothing left of him. These items were quite worthless so n.o.body even bothered picking them up.

After the boss had been defeated a portal had appeared at on of the walls which lead back to the entrance. It looked different than the one they had used to come here, since it was a natural one which didn't have the silver pillars which supported the man made portals.

"Ok, everyone lets go back." Van Bergen said and ushered everyone towards the portal.

After they got back to the transfer station they split up and Van Bergen signaled for Ivan to follow him.

"Mentor, why did the boss seem so easy?", Ivan had wondered about that. Even with his stats at only 1 he had managed to block the first strike and they had easily killed the boss.

His mentor laughed before answering his question, "It only seems easy. Wait until you have to try it yourself. Of course since the dungeon only has rank F and is for the lowest level it is still easy to kill."

"Then if the rank was higher it would have been more difficult?"

"Of course. The level just tells you the level of the creatures in the dungeon, but the rank is what describes the difficulty. An F ranked dungeon will always be easy for people of the recommend level since the creatures will only have one skill and that is F ranked. But with higher ranked dungeons they will have multiple skills of higher rank which will increase the difficulty exponentially.

Besides that girl is at least level 40 so that made killing the boss so fast."

"What? That girl is already level 40? She can't be much older than me."

Once again the man burst out in laughter.

"It's not really that surprising. Even though she is a bit younger than you she is from a prominent family and has already trained for more than 10 years and that with a Training Skill."

Ivan nodded his understanding. If she had already trained for 10 years with a Training Skill she really should have a higher level, but something else got his attention.

"Then shouldn't her level be even higher? After all she is already training for 10 years and I heard that there are people in their 20's who are above level 200."

"There is a big difference in training speed depending on level and age. For these below 16 years the speed is much slower, which is also the reason school only starts with 16, since it wouldn't really be efficient for these below this age to be trained. Besides that the first 50 level are a bit slower than those after that. This is because the first 50 level are something which can be archived by purely using normal training methods and don't require Training Skills. During these levels you improve the amount of muscles, the amount of active nerve cells and so on, all of which needs time and energy from the body. But at level 50 you have reached the border of what is possible with these methods and you then have to use Training Skills to flood your cells with energy from the atmosphere to improve them. At first the improvement is much faster than building up cells but it to will slow down since each improvement will need more energy. Later there are some more transformations but you don't need to know about them until its time."

"Then what happens if you use Training Skills before you have build up all your muscles?"

"That's where it gets weird. n.o.body knows why, but the energy only gets stored until you have reached level 50. Some guess that at level 50 there is some kind of transformation which then enables your cells to strengthen themself with that energy."

"So after level 50 all the energy gets converted and you instantly gain some level?"

"You would expect that but what happens is much more useful. The effect is similar to what the skill Shadow Stats gives, so people who used Training Skills before level 50 will have higher real stats than their level suggest."
