Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 220

Aaron continued his morning schedule as he did before. He went to the dungeon hall in the morning to level up after completing his daily activities, but before that, he gave a look at his status, that changed a little in the past seven days.

In the seven days that he was busy with the mission, his level increased by a single number. It was not because he killed a lot of monsters or creatures. No, it was already near the next level, and the small experience that he got with the 100x boost made it possible for Aaron to climb one level.

With one level increase, he got +4,000 FSPs and +1,600 SPs.

Aaron has already decided to hoard the SPs to increase his Skeleton skill at once. So they said as they were.

Coming to the FSPs, Aaron thought about keeping them. He needs 50,000 FSPs to increase Luck by +1. His attributes are already very high. They are now so much higher that even someone who was levels above him would be defeated by him, just using the attributes.

If he uses his skills and the Undead Army made of more than a thousand Skeletons and another thousand more of Ghosts, he can even single-handedly defeat a small-scale monster tide on his own, maybe even more.

So, improving those basic attributes should no longer be his main objective.

Even though that idea came, he decided to increase them to a certain value and stop. The designated values were 10,000 for the four attributes and 15,000 for the two main attributes. Until then, he intended to increase the values.

Once the attributes reach those values, he intended to keep the FSPs without using on these attributes. He intended to use them on Luck and any other hidden attributes, if he was lucky enough to unlock at that time.

His attributes were already crossed the attribute values of the awakeners who are even hundreds of levels higher than him, unless they possessed some rare resources that can increase their attributes. So, he felt that there was no reason for him to increase those attributes once they reached the designated values.

Luck on the other hand, it was very low. As its value increases, the number of fortuitous encounters increase and not only the encounters would increase but also the chances of retrieving those fortunes would also increase.

Retriving those fortunes without paying too much price is the main objective of finding those treasure lands after all. What good would it be if you find a treasure land but can’t enter or retrieve those treasures?

Sell the location data to someone?

What guarantee is there that that powerful group would let you live?

There are many incidents where the finders were silenced in order to keep those treasures for themselves, as these finders would get greedy and sell the information to as many groups as they could.

If other powerful groups arrive, the first one can do nothing but share the resources, or it might cause a war between these factions, which is not they want, as war can reduce the power of the faction and other factions that hate this one, can make use of the time and eliminate them.

In order to not get into such a situation, these factions, though acting righteously on the outside, showing the world that they would be generous with the rewards for giving them information regarding any treasures, in fact remove these finders once they verify the claims of the treasures.

So, increasing that attribute is the main priority over any other attribute at this point. This way, when one encounters a treasure, they can retrieve that for themselves, rather than selling the information for a small finder’s fee if the group was good or death in case the group the information was sold to was not that righteous.

Coming to the improvement of the attributes, in these seven days, Aaron increased the four attributes each by +40, while the main attributes of INT and WIS by +60 each day. So, he ended up increasing the four attributes by +280 each, with them each reaching the value of 7,520, while the other two attributes increased by +420 each, which made it possible for them to reach 11,100.

In a few weeks, there is a good chance of reaching the designated value for these attributes.

The two other attributes, Death Energy and Perception, increased as well.

Perception was very important to watch one’s back. So, it was increased using the FSPs, while the Death Energy, there was a lot of it at the bandit base and in the surroundings due to a lot of deaths recently.

Even after dumping FSPs into the attributes, he still has 29,000 FSPs sitting idle on the status. So, even with increased other attributes, it won’t be long before he can increase Luck again, as long as he levels up fast, and that’s exactly what he arrived at the dungeon hall to do.

---

With everything set, he entered the dungeon to level up and chose a dungeon that had monsters with levels higher than his. Given the current pace of what’s happening outside in the world, he needed to increase the levels more quickly. The lack of people’s presence in the academy also factored into the decision to utilise the time effectively.

With less eyes present in the academy, the chances of someone who would see him enter and leave the higher dungeons is very low, especially as these dungeons are deep in the dungeon hall and with the absent of the senior year students, no one has a reason to go there, which made it easy for him to make the decision of using the higher level dungeons to level up faster.
