Change: New World

Familiarity

We walked down the empty hallway and amidst all the scar stained walls, and blood soaked floors, I quietly reminisced. It really is quite amazing, how familiar, yet all the same, how foreign these halls are. It brought on a sense of nostalgia, a sort of quiet whisper in the back of my mind that kept saying; “It’s all so familiar!”

Although that might just be me getting too sentimental.

As we continued walking, we passed by many of the familiar halls and classrooms - though at this point, it would be more appropriate to call them “battlefields” rather than places of learning. The walls were thick with marks and the lockers, riddled in violence- really, it was quite a scene, and if I wasn’t already so desensitized, I would have surely gasped out in surprise, among other things. Although in retrospect, it was only natural to see so much destruction, after all, rather than the helpless deaths that many of my classmates were subjected too, we actually fought back, resulting in these lasting impressions spread out all over the place.

Speaking of battles, the week old enemies which we fervently faced don’t seem to be here. Not one, not a single Minotaur could be seen. This struck me as odd, considering how fever pitched the three of us had to be in order to keep up with the rapid paced spawn rate those bipedal bulls had. In comparison, today lacked that normal sense of danger. Rather, it makes one wonder- did they stop spawning? Has someone else already killed the big boss Minotaur somewhere else?

Either way, it’s not really of concern to me, it might be a good thing actually, a few less monsters for me to worry about.

While comforted by the fact that no harm would come my way as we made our way to our destination, I monopolized on this opportunity, and took this time to check my stats. Truth be told, ever since the week long double experience ended, I haven’t really opened up my window panel. I was quite preoccupied, not to mention I was also quite frustrated at the bottleneck I was facing. Without the bonus, it was a difficult task to increase my level any further.

Now was the perfect chance to check on my progress, as well as distribute the unallocated/bonus points I acquired from the Werewolf raid.

With a simple thought, I brought up the familiar status window, and after briefly glancing over the contents, I then proceeded to make the appropriate changes.

Before I fully dismissed it, I went over the window with a scrutinizing eye. In the end, it ended up as such;
