Darius Supreme

[You have gained 5,140 EXP, 1 Berserk Potion, and 3 House Portal Scrolls.]

Darius was not excited per se. He had already calculated as much before he battled the Troll. Its level had been 8 and his had been 3. So far, the theme with experience gain had been that for every level higher than the user, the base experience would be multiplied by four.

Killing something on the same level as himself was 5 EXP, 1 level higher was 20 EXP, 2 levels higher was 80 EXP, 3 levels higher was 320 EXP, 4 levels higher was 1,280 EXP whereas 5 levels higher was 5,120 EXP. The reason the notification had an extra 20 was due to the death of the level 4 Plains Lioness through his Sparks spell.

Darius then scrolled past his level up notices.

[You have leveled up! You are now level 4. You have gained 5 Ability Points and 3 Skill Points to spend as you wish!]

[You have leveled up! You are now level 5. You have gained 5 Ability Points and 3 Skill Points to spend as you wish!]

[You have leveled up! You are now level 6. You have gained 5 Ability Points and 3 Skill Points to spend as you wish!]

[You have leveled up! You are now level 7. You have gained 5 Ability Points and 3 Skill Points to spend as you wish!]

[You have leveled up! You are now level 8. You have gained 5 Ability Points and 3 Skill Points to spend as you wish!]

[You have leveled up! You are now level 9. You have gained 5 Ability Points and 3 Skill Points to spend as you wish!]

[You have leveled up! You are now level 10. You have gained 5 Ability Points and 3 Skill Points to spend as you wish!]

[You have leveled up! You are now level 11. You have gained 5 Ability Points and 3 Skill Points to spend as you wish!]

Straight up to level 11, wow! Darius was now more excited as he got a wealth of Ability and Skill Points to spend. However, what excited him more was the level increase, as he had been banking on that to enact the next phase of his plan.

Without personal strength, trying to act out phase 3 would be tantamount to suicide, especially given his lack of information. With this though, he needn't worry as much once he was done allocating all his points.

As such, Darius opened his Character menu and gazed at it solemnly. He fiddled with the modifiers for a bit before confirming his point allocation.

Darius allocated everything without holding back at all. 40 Ability Points and 24 Skill Points were spread out amongst his stats and skills, greatly increasing their values.

The first thing he noticed was his progressively higher EXP requirement to level up. It was now 1,100 for level 11, it seemed the trend was to add two zeroes behind his current level.

Seemed simple enough until he considered that it compiled on itself per level. Another question Darius had to ask himself was if he could kill a level 16 monster as easily as he had done with the Blue Troll?

That was a troublesome question, which directly reflected his choices in point allocation all around. Darius had learned what his strengths and weakness were in combat as well as what he had to focus on.

He had brought up his Strength from 7 points to 15, practically doubling it. Now that he was above the average threshold, he should be able to do some respectable damage next time he decided to wield a spear again.

Darius felt as if his body had been suddenly packed with muscles, but no visible changes had occurred to his body. He felt like he had just performed the workout of his life and was feeling supremely pumped as a result.

Darius had also increased his Agility by 2 points. The fight with the Troll had proven that it was not an unimportant stat, so he had used the leftover from his other choices.

Like before, he felt the difference immediately. It was always as if some gravitational force was trying to crush him into the planet, yet the pressure on him lightened slightly with each point.

His Endurance was left untouched, but his Intellect received the majority of his Ability points, doubling from 25 to 50 in one go!

He fell to his knees as he clutched his head. There was no pain, just intensity. It felt as if his mind had previously been like a dirty corridor full of debris that was cleaned up by a professional company.

With so much space and new passageways, things were able to move faster and more efficiently. Things he had struggled to recollect even with eidetic memory were becoming clearer and clearer.

He even felt the inkling of his mind power reaching out to the world around him, trying to establish a connection to things outside his brain. Unfortunately, it was weak and short, unable to make a firm connection, but at least it was there.

Darius guessed that 50 was an important threshold for stats like 10 had been. The change in his mind was more than just a simply strengthening, as it experienced an overall qualitative leap.

The system seemed to agree with him on this, as it produced what Darius felt was the hardest evidence to back his assumptions.

[Congratulations! You have reached 50 points in Intellect and have acquired the ability: Mind Power.]
