System Change

“What are you thinking about?” Alanah asked Derek, who was still lost in thought.

“Huh?” Derek came to and shook the thoughts out of his head. All this system bullshit is future Derek’s problem. Present me should focus on making the most out of whatever time Alanah has left here. “Oh… nothing really. Just about the ascension and stuff. I wonder how close Marrick is to completing both of those requirements.”

“There is no telling,” Alanah replied. “But surely he has gotten all of his class skills to max level and received the one requirement.”

“Yeah,” Derek said with a nod. “That is if that is the requirement, and it’s not something else that you just happened to do at the same time.”

“That is true,” Alanah agreed.

“However,” Derek started. “If it is one of the requirements, and Marrick does already have it completed, then that means that he’s only lacking in the stats department.” He could certainly see how hard it would be for someone other than himself, Alanah, or some others who had access to Void Beast meals to gain the required amount of stats points to get four stats to 1,500 points each. It was something that very few people would be able to obtain.

Even if someone began with a legendary class—which Derek didn’t even know if it was possible—one would still barely have enough stat points to get four stats to that level. And all that was assuming that the person received free stat points after each level, and none were automatically assigned. On top of all of that, the person would have to completely ignore the other two stats to do so.

That meant that for a legendary class, the user would have to be either all physical or all magical. The two stats that would have to be ignored would have to be either strength and dexterity, or intelligence and wisdom. There was no way—that Derek could see—that a person would be able to get by in a system world without having any vitality or endurance. They simply wouldn’t be able to survive long enough to get all the levels. Well… maybe a noble that was completely spoon fed or a crafter like Brandi. But I can’t see anybody who is spoon fed like that unlocking a legendary class to begin with. Would you even be able to survive all the breakthroughs without those two stats?

Even Brandi—who had increased her class tier pretty much at the same speed as Derek had—wouldn’t be able to reach the required points in those four stats without the assistance of Void Beast meals. It would be a different story if the girl received all the stats as free points, but her class didn’t do that—instead, it divides the stat points that she earns out for her. Looking at it, she’ll have all stats at over 1,000 points by the time she hits level 250, but none will be at 1,500. Luckily, Brandi had Derek and his ability to collect Void Beasts to give her a boost.
