Adel pursed her lips and reached over, flicking me on the forehead. “Now, do you understand the things I go through when you do things that make me worry to the point that I feel like I might die?”
I really couldn’t argue with her when she puts it like that. I mean, I did cause her a lot of issues these past few weeks. But still for her to go ahead and hit yes without even much less than a second worth of thought. It just did not seem like her. “Adel, even if that is the case, why did you hit yes without even considering what may have happened to you?”
“Hmm? Well, as I see it, it was either me or some poor soul who would be killed after. I would rather test it out on myself than on some citizen. Plus, what if these things are rare? If you have a system and are able to really gain such great power, then I want to be able to do the same. Other kingdoms will probably be doing such things as well. Except they will test it from the start and see if it is hazardous to the royal families. But if I can get a head start and use my time in this dungeon to really grow more powerful, then the Gravos Kingdom will have a head start. And I will be the one to lead it in this new era.” Adel’s words made sense, but I still did not like how she used the stone without hesitation.
“Well, tell me if you feel off or anything. If you start having strange thoughts or do not feel like you are in control of your body. I will stop time for you until we figure out a way to cure you. Or I could even reverse time to when you did not have it.” I could only do so much. If Adel really had an issue with this new system where it tried to control her or something, the only way to keep her from destroying herself or others would be to stop time for her or try to reverse time for her until the point where she did not have a system.-.
“This is the reason why I did not hesitate to use it. With you here, what could go wrong?” Adel said with a smile. “Faith, this menu thing says I am level 89 and have 440 status points. What should I put my status points in?”
“Hmmm, you are mainly more of a support mage type, so I would think intelligence and mind should both have 150 points. The last 140 should be vitality 70 and agility 70. This vitality and agility will allow you to take more hits and also make you faster. In the future, put two points into intelligence and mind and then alternate your other point between agility and vitality.” I figured for a support type character this was the best way to grow stronger. She did not need strength since she did not use a sword. But now that she could raise mind this meant she could live a lot longer. At least, I think anyway. As long as her mana pool increases, her lifespan will also increase.
I hate to say it because it sounds like I am using Adel as a test subject, but if this works out, I will probably try to farm dungeons to get more system stones for my family…
While this brings more risks as they will need to fight monsters, if it allows them to live longer, I think some of the risks are worth it, especially with how strong my Mother and Father are. That is, if they do wish to expand their lives. I would not force this upon them. It would be up to them to use it or not.
“Okay, done!” Adel said with a smile as she stood up and hopped up and down a few times. “I do surprisingly feel lighter.”
“How much mana do you have now?” I was curious to just how much her stats were raised.
“Mmm, it says 3400. And my health is 2300,” Adel answered. I pursed my lips since I do not know how good the mana part was. But I do think her health might be slightly too low. I guess this just means I will need to keep a closer eye on her. “If there was a teaming system like in games….” I mumbled, but as soon as the words left my mouth, a window appeared in front of me.
[System Notification: Team Window Unlocked!]
[You can now form teams and share XP between team members.]
I face palmed as I looked at this, but it was definitely a good thing. I just never thought it would actually have such a function, but this does make me wonder just how connected this system thing is to the system I was born with. Were the dungeons and other things also related to the system as well?
I do know one thing, and that was that everyone was gaining passive levels while gradually gaining boosts to their stats without a system. Once they get a system, they will also gain all the status points they would have gotten for each level they gained while in this dungeon, just like how Adel did. At least, I think anyway.
Since there is no way of knowing, for now, I guess I should test out this team function now that I have it. I sighed and softly spoke: “Team Adel.”
“What!?” Adel cried out in shock as another window popped up in front of her. “Faith, what is this team thing?”
“It allows us to team together and share experience. In other words, you can grow stronger without having to do much of anything. What other things it may do, I don’t know yet. Just hit yes for now, and we can find out.”
Adel nodded and hit the yes button. I got a notification that she had joined my team and saw a new set of HP and MP bars appear at the top left of my peripheral vision. “What is this crazy health!? 37250!?”
I heard Adel cry out. I guess she could see my stat numbers for health and MP… which means… “And what is this weird sign where it says, Mana?”
Adel looked up at me with a questioning gaze, causing me to sigh once more. “Le’ts just say that I don’t ever have to worry about mana….”
