Frostbound

My trip home was uneventful which gave me time to look over all of the notifications from the previous day.

The number of points for conquering the fallen pylon wasn't small and all of the monsters that we had to fight to do that added up. I skipped over the two levels I received but that was only part of the reward.

The beasts themselves were walking bags of points. There were almost 500 of the things surrounding the pylon. We fought half just getting to the center and the other half because of the wolf's howl.

500 monsters all over level 30 was a huge windfall of points and was exactly the reason we did it in the first place. With everything that had happened afterward, I almost forgot the reason we left in the first place.

We were trying to gain enough points for a bloodline.

Over the entire tutorial, I earned just over 300,000 points so far. Conquering the pylon nearly doubled that.

We didn't kill the entirety of the monsters, as some ran away, but others were over level 30 and gave extra points to make up for it. Both Austin and I earned over 200,000 points each.

A hefty prize and one that was greatly needed. It was like rain during a long drought and made the points category on my status sheet swell.

Following the many notifications of defeating beasts, came ones for the raiders.

50 humans. I had killed 50 humans. There were more than 100 notifications total but with the mixture of humans and beasts, only 50 turned out to be people.

All added together gave another 50,000 points. The humans didn't give any extra points other than the normal amount for their level. It seemed like all of their points resided with the one controlling them.

Hearing that they were 'thralls' and not normal people helped me mentally but I hadn't thought I would add to that number so soon. I knew that the bandits wouldn't be the last nor would the people I just killed.
