[Congratulations! You have advanced to Lv.11 by comprehending Lv.11.] [Congratulations! Your and upgraded from Stage-1 to Stage-2.] [Congratulations! You gained the Mastery Perk by reaching Stage-2.] [Congratulations! You have met 1 of the three requirements for Tier-2 Evolution.] __________________________________ [Tier-2 Evolution Requirements]: {1} Reach Stage-2 Sword Mastery ✓ {2} Obtain enough Life Energy that is required to reach Lv.11 ✘ {3} Obtain 1 Uncommon Achievement Title and 3 Common Achievement Titles ✘ __________________________________ [Congratulations! You received an Achievement Title, ] [A new section for Achievement Titles got added to your .] I was able to understand some important information from the new notifications that popped up. First of all, my Stage-1 Upgraded into a Stage-2, and even though I was eager to check it out, I could barely move in that condition of Low Stamina. Second, by achieving Stage-2, (Lv.11 - Lv.20) and Stage-2 Sword Mastery (Lv.11 - Lv.20), I even fulfilled one requirement to undergo Tier 2 Evolution. Third, the Evolution to Tier-2 will occur when trying to reach Lv.11 by crossing Lv.10, and I also need 1 Uncommon Achievement Title and 3 Common Achievement Titles for Tier-2 Evolution. Finally, to find out more about Achievement Titles, I opened my Status tab and found a new section in it. _____________________ _____________________ After looking at the Training Maniac-I Achievement Title and the Stats added through Achievement Title, there was a " ° " symbol. I received another notification above the Status tab. [Do you wish to activate the Achievement Title, ?] I gladly accepted it, and in the exact moment, where I laid on the ground with complete exhaustion, what I needed the most was Endurance. [Warning: Sudden increase of 5° Stats in Endurance causes severe pain.] [Do you wish to proceed in Safety mode?] [In Safety Mode, Stats will get added periodically so that your body can easily adjust to its improvements.] I selected Safe Mode as I felt it was not worth experiencing extreme pain since it was not critical to immediately needed Stats. I felt my body becoming sturdier, and along with that, my Stamina also increased by 5 points. With the recovered Stamina, I plodded the bushes at the entrance and looked outside. The Sunlight was still there, and it was even brighter; I placed my hand within the sunlight, and the shadow was slightly below, showing that it was a little past afternoon. The new revelation baffled me and inwardly wondered to myself, 'Just how many hours are there in this place for a day to complete?' As there was nothing I could do about it, I pulled my Mini trekking bag to use it as a pillow and went into a deep sleep. Just as I woke up, what greeted me was a notification. I mentally swiped them off and checked the time on the top left of my vision. [ALPHA Program, Day - 1, Time - 18:04:11] I slept for nearly 4 hours, and it's been 18 hours since I got teleported. Because of all the heat, I wasn't able to sleep properly. I felt a drastic change in my body became even sturdier, but it didn't show much of a change in my appearance. Because of an increase in Endurance Attribute, even when I only slept for 4 hours, I felt refreshed, but the problem was that my body took a toll from the increase in my constitution, and that caused my stomach to let out a hungry roar. I started eating food ravenously like I had been starving for a few days, and without realizing, I almost depleted all of my food items. Then I went out and search for alternative food and water sources. For that, I need to prepare myself for any encounter with monsters. So, I checked the Weapon Mastery section in my Status tab for the . __________________________________ STAGE 1 (Lv.1 - Lv.10) - Lv.1 - Lv.1 (Locked) STAGE 2 (Lv.11 - Lv.20) - Lv.11 - Lv.11 - __________________________________ [Lv.11: Damage Output increases by 110% when used on Sword Spirit Item. Cost: 11 Spirit Energy per minute.] [ - The Sword Aura becomes sharper as it extends beyond the Sword and the overall Damage output increases by 2 fold. Cost: 11 Spirit Energy per Second.] After noticing the description of Stage-2, I tried out using it on my , and a Cyan coloured aura started flowing on it. With reaching Stage-2, my control over the sword aura increased to an even higher level. I tried to use the , and an even sharper Cyan coloured Aura appeared, and it extended beyond the Sword tip and the , which was a half meter long, looked like it became one and a half meters long. The doubles the already increased overall damage, including the additional damage from . When used in combat as a surprise attack, it can be quite deadly! The problem was it consumes a lot of Spirit Energy and even affects Stamina. Once again, I received a notification saying that Rusty Short Sword's Durability decreased, and this time it even reduced by 3 points at once. Even my Stamina and Spirit Energy decreased by 5 points and 11points, respectively. [Durability: 37/100 ➝ 34/100] [Spirit Energy: 40/40 ➝ 29/40] [Stamina: 90/90 ➝ 85/90] I deactivated the , and I waited for 15 minutes to recover my Stamina and Spirit Energy. Meanwhile, I changed my clothes, took out the Boxing wraps from my bag, and tied them around my knuckles and wrist to have a better grip while holding the Rusted Short Sword. When I get injured, I could even use boxing wraps like a bandage to stop bleeding. I prepared myself to forage the surrounding area in search of any alternatives for food and water sources. Before going out, I checked my tab. __________________________________ Life Energy - 175/300 Level - 1 (Low-Phase) Strength - 16 (13+3^) Endurance - 18 (13+5°) Spirit Energy - 40/40 Undistributed Stats - 0 INNATE TALENT[ - (Grade Unknown) INNATE EXCLUSIVE SKILL - Common Grade - Lv.3 , Lv.3 , Lv.4 , Lv.3 Physical Pain Resistance - 3% STAGE 1 (Lv.1 - Lv.10) - Lv.1 - Lv.1 (Locked) STAGE 2 (Lv.11 - Lv.20) - __________________________________
