Chapter 5: Arriving home

(AN: let's get some progress done on the book (: enjoy!)

Grey had just arrived home having decided what his next actions would be throughout the day of school and logged onto the game after greeting his mother who was on her day off.

He slowly awoke where he logged out last doing a quick once over of the regional chat just to confirm that the robbers message message did indeed go viral.

He sighed a little seeing his previous fear was fairly founded before going out of the starter village since he hadn't had time to farm monsters yet and didn't want to fall too far behind the other players especially with the advantage of a fate born class.

He ignored other players who often glanced at him due to his new found fame instead running at the lowest level enemy area which was LV2 slimes which was right next to the LV5 boars which all the newbies seemed to go to instead of the slimes which he deduced was because they gave more experience and would provide combat experience to the newbies as he didn't believe all the classes would contain a fighting style skill like his own did.

However since he had a fighting skill he thought it would be better to fight the slimes as he could kill them quickly and rack up more experience than if he took a few minutes to farm one or two boars while being careful to not die so his boars didn't get stolen when he was coming back.

After arriving in the slime area he quickly ran to his first target while attracting other nearby slimes then he kicked the slime he was targeting into the air then transformed the momentum of his kick to turn his whole body sideways in the air and once again moving the momentum of his kick to launch the slime to his previous path causing the slime to get launched into the other slimes which Gray had gathered causing a small amount of damage to all the slimes he had gathered and killing the slime he kicked.

Gray quickly ran at the horde of slimes he had gathered with a blood thirsty grin.

(AN: 1 hour later)

Gray was covered in the blue blood like substance of the slimes and was still grinning in chaotic delight while he looked at his new level.

{[ Level: 9 (550/10000) ]}

He quickly calmed down, deciding that his progress was good but could definitely be better if he found some sort of quest or a better hunting ground so he went back towards the city after he gathered the 3 pieces of equipment he got from killing the slimes, overall he had pretty bad luck having gotten a Mage staff, a bow and a pair of boots with only the boots really being of any use to him, however it was fine as he could just sell the other drops he got for cheap.

A pair of blue leather boots made from the condensation of slime into leather giving the boots a more flexible and comfortable nature.

+5% flexibility

+2% damage absorption

+1 Agility

Due to his leveling and his new equipment, his stats looked a little different.

What was most surprising to him however was the massive amount of attribute points he now held, though the math checked out it was still crazy to see, he still didn't know where to apply them either as during his farming of slimes he learned that the berserk skill required his current entire mana bar of 50 MP although the cost was definitely worth the result so he couldn't complain but it still made him wonder where to put his attribute points as he had no intentions of being a jack of all trades, he originally intended to dump his points in Agility, Endurance and Strength but now he was considering Mana too and that seemed like it would be too big of a split for him and he had also considered putting points in Luck to increase his drop rate and chance to get something more oriented towards his class but that was even less possible and with the Wisdom stat he would be able to better use the fact he had a fighting style skill so he was having trouble deciding how to progress but after a moment he made his decision.

He dumped all his Attribute points into strength and mainly speed remembering how he had came to the conclusion that his class was made to fight and kill no matter the cost even if it was his own life he had decided it was okay to neglect his Endurance and Luck then he struggled with himself on Mana and Wisdom knowing how much they had the potential to help him but decided that Agility was his most important stat due to his lack of Endurance for this build as he needed to land as many hits as possible and not get hit to not die before he killed his target this also lead to him also buffing his strength as to increase the power of these fast strikes so as to be certain Gray could do enough to kill whoever he was after.

Gray hoped he had made the right decision as he continued his walk back into the city.
