Ch 4: New Powers
For his stats, Alexis had only managed to increase them very slightly after training for all these years. When he first got his status panel, his stats were -
STR: 5
VIT: 4
INT: 9
DEX: 3
AGI: 4
These were terrible but as Alexis was only 4 years old at that time, this kind of stat made sense. Actually as the average stat of a grown man was between 10 and 30 so Alexis had quite good stats for his age.
Then after training for the five years, he had managed to improve his stats quite a bit. Before entering this dangerous place, his stats were -
STR: 18
VIT: 29
INT: 55
DEX: 13
AGI: 17
These stats were not terrible but still were quite underwhelming. But that was the best result that Alexis managed to get after all his training. Because of his age, no matter how hard he trained, he had a hard time surpassing his limits.
The only stats he had an easier time developing was INT or intelligence. Most probably because his physical structure and age did not limit this stat as much as other stats, Rein was able to increase it by quite a bit, surpassing the average intelligence of a human.
Now as he had taken in the blood of a Primordial Dragon his physical structure had changed. So Rein was looking forward to the changes in his stat page. So with a lot of anticipation in his heart, Rein opened that page.
______________
STR: 818 (245)
VIT: 1028 (308)
INT: 925 (458)
DEX: 613 (184)
AGI: 617 (185)
_______________
Alexis at first was extremely delighted with his stats but then he noticed the brackets and got curious. He noticed that something was written in the description section which was just under the stats.
From the description, he understood that for the time being, Alexis would only be able to utilise 30 percent of his stats. As he would grow older, he would have access to more and more of his stats.
Only after reaching his full physical body potential, he would be able to use his stats to the fullest. He was only able to use the 50 percent of his INT stats as it was not depended on his physical body as much.
The main values were also not his limit and Alexis would be able to increase them even more. The dragon whose blood he had extracted had stats way higher than what he got. But Alexis would only be to increase his stats to the same level as the dragon after getting used to his current strength.
This was actually a safety measure as without this, his body would actually be burdened by the stats and would break down. So even though Alexis would have a higher starting point than almost anyone, he would still need to work hard in the future to live up to his potential.
From what Alexis knew, even a well trained regular human could have his stats close to hundred and only a trained warrior and mage had stats over 100. So for a regular human, just having one single stat over one hundred was a big deal.
Only the heroes had stats that was above 400. So currently, just 9 years old Rein had his intelligence stats at the level of a hero.
Obviously most heroes had stats between 400 and 600 so he was still on the weaker side, but with enough time, he would be able to access more and more his stats and his would soon be able to surpass the heroes.
...
After checking his new stats, Alexis next wanted to check his abilities. So he changed the page of the status panel.
Before today the ability page of his status panel was completely empty. Even his Blood Inscription ability was not mentioned there.
But after he had absorbed the blood of the Primordial Dragon and had activated his ability, he was hoping to see a huge change in this page.
And after opening the page, Alexis was not disappointed. The once empty page was now filled with letters. He had gotten so many abilities that just one page was unable to show it all and the status panel needed multiple pages to note all his new skills.
There were so many abilities that he had gotten that reading about all of them alongside their description would take a lot of time.
So for the time being, he decided to just casually go over all the abilities listed. Most of the abilities were quite powerful but even amongst them, a few stood out to Alexis.
The first ability that he found interesting was "Monstrous Strength". This was a famous ability that quite a few famous people and heroes had.
Alexis also had this ability but their was a big difference. From what Alexis had heard, this ability could only be activated for a short period of time. But for him this was a passive ability.
This ability could double the STR or strength stat of the user, so definitely it was extremely powerful. And as it was a passive ability for him, his STR stat would always be double of what was mentioned in the stat page.
There were many abilities like this which made Alexis to wonder, how could such a powerful dragon die in a place like this. At the same time, he also got a glimpse of how intense the war between the gods was.
Fortunately all the gods had now disappeared from the world and he did not need to worry about losing his life by getting mixed up in something like this.
Other than the Monstrous Strength, Rein also found a few draconic racial ability which were quite powerful. He was amazed to see that he was even able to use the signature move of a dragon, which was the "Dragon Breath".
Among the racial abilities, the strongest one was definitely "Divine Scales". This ability increased his VIT by 200 percent and gave him 90 perfect resistance to all elements and physical attacks. Even law related attacks were resisted by this ability and would only be half as strong.
Alexis was also had a skill called draconic transform and this was something that the dragon did not have. This ability was created for Alexis by this ability, as a human like him needed this to use the racial abilities of a dragon. This was also the ability Alexis was most interested in checking out.
...
After going through all his available abilities, Alexis went to the last page of his status panel. This page was showing him various things about his powers that were not mentioned in the previous pages.
The very first thing written on this page was about his Mana Sensitivity and Aura Sensitivity. These two indicators were the main factor behind determining what path would a person take and how talented would they be on that path.
Mana Sensitivity was the measure of how well someone was able to control their mana. This was one of the most important stat for a mage. Aura sensitivity had similar function but it was useful for warriors.
Both of these were graded from F to A where F was the worst result and A was the best. There was a S grade above the A but as almost no human had seen this, many considered that to just be a rumour.
But that rumour turned out to be true as on his status panel, Rein was able to see that his Mana Sensitivity was S+ and his Aura Sensitivity was S. This grading proved that the S grades was not just a baseless rumour but a true thing.
Other than that, the other thing written there was about his elemental affinities. Elements were an important part of an awakened person's life, no matter if that person was a warrior or a mage.
From the Primordial Dragon, Alexis had gotten two elemental affinities. They were Fire and Thunder. As for their grades, both of the affinities were in Extreme grade.
The grading of elemental affinity in ascending order was low, mid, high, advanced, superior, legendary and extreme. Just like it was the case with S grade in sensitivity, the extreme grade in affinity was also seen as myth which also turned out to be actually true.
...
After going through all the things written in his status panel, Alexis got a very good idea about his current strength. With all the boosts he was getting from the abilities and his stats, he was sure that in his nation, no one would be able to match him.
So even though this expedition was dangerous, it was also extremely beneficial to him. And with his current abilities, Alexis would also not have any trouble getting out of this danger zone.
So finally, it was time for Alexis to return back to his mother. He could not wait to tell his mother about his new powers.
