While Claudius was looking at his status, Aurora was genuinely curious at his stats. What would his strength be? It should be undeniably high, right? I deduce that he should be a legend of the old-time. Otherwise, he should at least know about the system.

The excitement for strength is a known thing in this world. The more powerful you are, the more opportunity you could get; even if stats are not everything, it still is an effective way to find someone's power. Claudius saw the spark in the adventurer's eyes in front of him and then asked her, "what did you wish to know? "

She would never ask about someone else's status in normal circumstances, but since this man didn't even know how to look at it. She decides to give him a brief explanation.

''I want to know everything so that I can explain to you''. Claudius became reluctant to reveal his stats. This small girl was maybe honest, but it's still better to have your guard up. So he thought about asking her to explain the stats without revealing his own.

Aurora, I prefer not to reveal them then. Today's friend can be tomorrow's enemies, after all. Could you just explain what I need to know?

Sure, should we go inside on my way here, I saw a few powerful monsters in the forest.'' saying this with a disappointed tone, she went inside, to the throne room. Claudius went inside and wondered where his subordinates were. They would never leave me behind, and Sullyvan should have written this magic inscription. Claudius stopped walking and started to run in the direction of the old laboratory of his servant Sullyvan. Aurora, surprised by Claudius's sudden action, began to run after him and shouted: '' Where are you going!''

Claudius was not listening to her. He ran for a moment before stopping in front of an iron door. Aurora, out of breath, arrived a few moments later. His strength is higher than 100; I am sure of it!.

Claudius says without being asked.'' my subordinates should be in there. One of my men, Sullyvan, is a genius inscription master, but he preferred to stay in his lab. I am pretty sure that he did the inscription on the door. And I can feel the life force of my servants behind this door. Their life forces are incredibly weak. It looked like they will die at any moment.''

Hearing this shocking news, Aurora became scared.

'They will need life forces. Will he take mine? Shit, I need to run.

Claudius looked at the scared girl and said with a smile: Miss Aurora, one of your wishes, would not kill somebody by pure chance! And don't be afraid I am not going to kill you. I am a man of my word. I say that I would help you, and I would do so I am still in your debt.

Aurora was looking at the young man with a shy smile. One of my wishes is to kill the scumbags that make me a slave. You could feel the intense killing intent when she said those words.

''It will be done after this you will have two wishes. You shall be careful before using them. But first, I will need my weapon, change to clothes. Claudius went in the direction of his bedroom. Then he was stopped by Aurora.

"'What are you doing? Are not going to check on them?''

Why should I? I have full trust in my subordinate. My servants will wait there until I am ready to awake them." After saying this, Claudius went to his room, followed by Aurora.

Girl, I can understand your enthusiasm to follow me, but I am going to change. You will have to wait outside.

Aurora blushed and ran back to the throne room while shouting that she was sorry.

Claudius, not minding her, cast a spell on the door to open it. A few seconds later, a clicking noise came from the door before it opened itself. Happy that the magic was still active, it meant that his room was still invaders free. He walked into his room and could see the familiar bed. The painting of his siblings was still hanging on the wall. With a sad look on his face, he started to change into a new suit, a black one with a few gold ornaments on the top of his collar and sleeves. In the middle of his room, there is a stone socket with a gauntlet on it.

The gauntlet had a long blade on his side and was made from some soft dark metal. The metal was so thin that it looked like a second skin when you wore it, but you could feel the gauntlet's destructive force. The fierce blade was also not to joke about the blade being made from a transparent crystal. It had only one edge. The edge was also razor-sharp.

Claudius looked with pride at his weapon before putting it on. When he put the gauntlet on, the crystal blade retracted itself. The weapon just looked like a stylish iron glove.

The young man exits his room fully clothed in black. One half-hour later, he decided to go to pick Aurora directly before heading to the exit. The group went in the direction of the small village of Stanley through the Spirit Forest.

Claudius wanted to go straight into the forest but was quickly stopped by Aurora:

What are you doing? We can't go in the forest like that, do you want to die! We need to be careful; there are strong monsters in the woods.

Me being careful in my backyard! Please don't be ridiculous! I may be weaker than before, but I am still powerful.

Without caring, Claudius continued his way in the woods. Aurora thought that this guy was crazy. Having no choice than to follow him, she still decides to be careful and hides in the shadow. On the way, Aurora explains what the stats do.

The strength is how powerful you are. All direct physical attack is influenced by it. But it is also one of the easiest to level. But skills can affect it too. To level strength, you just need to train.

Dexterity does the same thing but with a ranged weapon, and it's not too difficult to level. But this stat is also useful for production classes, blacksmith, goldsmith, etc.…

The Constitution affects your resistance, simple as that. If your resistance is high enough, you can receive specific resistance skills. It also affects how much damage you will receive from an attack. For example, if an arrow hits you, and you have a high constitution, you may not bleed but just receive a small scratch.

Intelligence is how much/ often you can use a spell with ease. If your intelligence stat is high, you can cast spells without effort.

For wisdom, it changes the strength of your magic and how easy you learn new spells. But powerful spells will still stay powerful.

But for your charisma stat, I have no information. I don't have this stat.

She said the last sentence with a bit of jealousy, but before she could say something else, a gigantic shadow appears in front of them. Aurora became white from fear when this monster became visible. The magical beast was a Hell Hound, a giant dog with two heads that can breathe fire. They usually live near places full of fire particles like magma pits of volcanoes. Cursing Claudius for his stubbornness, she decides to prepare for a brutal fight.
