Versatile: Alternate World

Lina and I decided to hit up the day. After the troublesome parts of acquiring [Melting Coal], we decided to stop the grinding for the time being. Lina and I headed straight to the inn of Lily. Lily is already open and just started operating her business.

"Hey, it's you! Bladeheart right?" Lily wiped her hands to the apron she is wearing and welcomed me when I entered the inn. Lina gave a kiss to her mother's cheek before she headed straight to the back room.

"Any room available at the moment?"

"A room eh? Of course, we just opened so of course, we still have no tenants at the moment. You want to have a room?" Lily asked.

"Yeah. I am tired of getting monsters' materials left and right," I said and pushed a gold coin.

"Our inn's room cost 10 silvers a day with free breakfast. How many days?"

"Spend it all. I plan to stick around the capital for now," I said to her and smiled.

"Mmm, a week and three days worth of stay, here is your key, the room is on the very last door of the third floor. Please enjoy your stay," Lily smiled and took the gold coin away.

I nodded and climbed the stairs. The inn's design did not change at all from what I can remember and although it's a desolate place at the moment, later on, once the players started to defeat the Gate Guardian and reach the capital, this place will get full-packed in no time. At least I should take my slot first before I ran out of one. After walking a bit, I reached the last room on the third floor. After inserting the key, I opened the door and looked around the room.

Simple but presentable, nice and comfy. Even though it's a game, the place was like one of the best places to rest. I sat on the bed and feel the softness of the quilt and the pillow. I get the urge to rest but I decided not to at the moment. I opened the stat panel and stare at my stats. Ever since I defeated the Gate Guardian, I have not spent all of the points of my AP.

Now, I have more AP to spent and actually, I am having trouble with it. This is just troublesome and I can't think of a proper way to distribute it. Either way, one or two of my stats would go from Very Poor stat to Poor but I have no idea which stat is better to upgrade at the moment. My STR would be nice, but I am not a strength-stat guy and most of the time rely on magic which would make me want to raise the INT stat. However, I also like to be sneaky and fast in weapon handling which is what the DEX holds for. But I also want to be fast to escape unbeatable enemies which make AGI stat needed, however, I also want to be durable and strong enough to last blows from the enemy which will make the END necessary too. I am having a headache about what to do.

"Shiet, should I make a balanced stat build?" I mumbled.

After hesitating, I decided that even though I needed to waste AP, it wouldn't do good if I don't spend it. It would be a waste right? So I decided to put 20 AP to all stats. That way, all of them are balanced in distribution. However, that made the INT as the highest stat I have at the moment. From Very Poor to Poor stat. It's AP bar also increased from 100 to 150. The other stats are also running towards the Poor stat now too. But here comes the decision. What is left is the 91 AP left and its an odd number which means I can't continue doing the 20 stat distribution. I need to sacrifice a single stat. Since the INT stat is the highest at the moment, I have to exclude it from my selection. I can spend another 20 stat on the remaining stat but what about the odd 9 AP?

After the even distribution, I end up almost leveling all stat to Poor stat. Wait... if I spend it properly, will I have all stats on Poor? Wait, that is not possible. There would be one stat that would need to remain in Very Poor at the moment. But what would be the best stat to let lag behind the rest?

I decided to make a few minutes of choices before I decided to just have the DEX sacrificed. Besides, the DEX stat is my lowest at the moment.

As soon as I confirmed the stats, a panel appeared on my interface.

"[Congratulations to you to get your END and INT stats reach the Poor Tier. Awarding 1000 HP and 1000 MP to your maximum HP and MP]"

I grinned seeing the development. It was quite a sight. With this amount, I think I am ready to tackle the first dungeon and unlock its Abyss Mode. Should I get it later? Maybe tomorrow. It's too harsh for me to continue when I am this tired. After spending a few hours, I decided to log out.

...

Opening my eyes, I once again found myself laying on the bed. I stood up and check the time. It's almost 1 pm. No wonder I am hungry, I have not taken my lunch yet. I opened my phone and check if there are any calls or text and I saw 20 missed calls. I was surprised because I rarely call or text to others, why is there too much missed calls? I opened the Call Register and check who called me and found out that it was father. I furrowed my eyebrows as I try to remember what is going on. I don't remember this happening in the past timeline. I tried remembering what event is this but for some reason, I don't remember this one happening.

"Wait, did the future already changed? I have not triggered many severe changes directly to my family at the moment but what is now actually happening?" I wondered a bit before I decided to dial father. The phone rang a bit and after a while, it was answered.

"Hello, father?"

"Manato! Damn, why can't you be contacted in the last few hours? I thought there is something that happened to you!" Father's voice sounded worried.

"I'm sorry, I forgot my phone in my room when I was out. I just got back home so I decided to dial back. What is going on? Is there any urgent matter going on?" I asked.

"There is something I need to tell you. Your mother is in an accident. She is in coma right now..."
