My Plot Armor System

Chapter 20: Level Up!

Seeing the green splatters everywhere, Damians eyes flashed with awe. This was the power of the Inventory Drop combo!

Although strength might not have been enough to swing the heavy Goblin Bat around, Damian still had the basic ability to direct its fall. Rather than strength, what this move required was proper timing.

In a way, summoning the Goblin Bat out of the Inventory at the right time was just like using Aura, only much riskier. However, as long as the timing was right, Damian had to do nothing other than let gravity do its job.

This was a close one.

Even though the Hobgoblin already had its head exploded, Damians heart was still pounding loudly out of fear and excitement.

Such a move had no plan B. If he messed up, then Damian would have been sent directly to his second retry.

Not to mention timing, just a sudden twitch in the hand could drop the Goblin Bat at the wrong place. If the monster wasnt at least pinned down by the drop, Damians face would have been smashed before he could put the Bat away.

The same thing could be said about fighting a group of monsters. The Goblin Bats weight ensured that Damian would remain immobile during the second he took to activate his inventory.

By then, he would have already been skewered by the monsters teammates!

This was exactly why the Goblin Bat couldnt become Damians main weapon, it could only be used for special occasions.

Nonetheless, despite having less of a risk using the shortsword in a more prolonged battle, Damian still chose to use this chance to give this method a practical test, and it didnt disappoint.

Lets use it less from now.

Of course, the conclusion that he came to wasnt positive. The reason why this worked from the first wasnt because he was precise like a hawk, fate was just on his side this time

That being said, this was only a primary analysis. After all, something else had completely stolen Damians attention!

[ The Possessed Subjects Level has risen. ]

The one pop-up message that Damian had been looking forward to had finally surfaced. After accumulating more than 10 Fate Points, their most basic use had opened up!

Its automatic?

As enthusiastic as Damian was to do something with his gains, he once again took his time contemplating how different things were in the reality patch.

In Fates Guide, Fate Points could indeed be used to level up. However, that was one outlet of many.

The player had more freedom and control over where he wanted to invest these points. As long as he reached the required thresholds, different outlets would open up and he would get to choose.

On the other hand, just by reaching the basic threshold for the first function of FP, leveling up, the Plot Armor System automatically invested them in.

Did that mean that the other functions and outlets didnt exist in the reality patch? Or was it because things were just getting started?

In any case

[ The Possessed Subjects Skill Learning Capacity has been slightly enhanced. ]

[ The Possessed Subjects Passive Talent Quality has been slightly enhanced. ]

[ You have obtained 2 Free Stat Points. ]

The following messages were even more intriguing for Damian. A level up in Fates Guide was always expressed in mathematical additions.

However, just like the stats in the reality patch were more limited, only the distributable Stat Points remained the same. Everything was vaguely implied

Status Window.

Despite the messages getting Damians hopes up of things becoming a lot easier, nothing much really changed.

Aside from the depletion of 10 FPs, the only fresh feature was the ability to add the Stat Points that he had just gained into the main physical Stats.

Is it because these talents are already too highly ranked?

Had Iris talents been lower-ranked ones, would the effect have been more visible? Damian personally wasnt sure.

At the very least, the very first message gave him more hope than the rest. If there was one thing that Iris was truly trash at, then it had to be her skill training.

If leveling up once or twice could change that, Damian would be very thankful for that

How should I assign them though?

Regardless, the best way to immediately feel the effect of the level-up had to be using the Stat Points!

At first, Damian considered discussing this investment with Iris who was the rightful owner of this body, but he decided against it in the end.

I need to maintain my efficiency for now.

Just in case they disagreed on it for some reason, Damian didnt want to drive a wedge between himself and Iris out of such a happy occasion.

To begin with, this wasnt really that hard of a choice. The 3 options all had their pros and cons, and Damian just needed to weigh those down and pick accordingly.

Definitely not Agility.

The first option that Damian kicked out of the window was the Agility Stat. Although adding on to the highest Stat sounded like the best option in a lot of cases, this was only going to be incredibly useless in his current situation.

Despite having close to 14 points of Agility, Damian still lost out to the basic Goblin in speed. He wasnt even sure if adding these 2 points would make him their equal.

Just looking at the possible returns of this investment made it a bad choice.

Then

With only two more options to pick from, things got both easier and harder for Damian.

On one hand, more Strength meant that he could properly wield the Goblin Bat faster, but on the other, stamina was still his weakest point

After giving it proper thought, Damian found his choice quicker than he thought. If he wanted to maintain his intensive exploration rate, there was only one viable option.
