<24 September 2024, GRAND MESA OF SUMMER, A+> [Theo] "Congratulations, Theo, you have leveled up to Level 15! As a reward for leveling up, you will be allowed to pick one Skill to upgrade. As a reward for reaching level 15, you have been granted a skill combination token. You have been granted Other rewards. Congratulations once again."

>Private Message: You have been granted the skill 'Rooted Aegis' as a reward.

Suddenly, Theo knew exactly what Rooted Aegis did. Theo was used to that particular message, and the influx of information from new skills, though some of it was different. What came next was new.

Stat Gain Breakdown CATEGORY STR DEX CON INT CHA META Class 2 1 3 0 0 1 Race 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other 2 2 2 2 2 2 TOTAL 4 3 5 2 2 3

Theo was very confused. He remembered his new Class stat gains, and they matched the Class line of the table. Where did the two extra points in every category come from? He shook his head, deciding to worry about it later.

>Private Message: Please select one Skill to upgrade.

Theo had not expected to get a level. So he thought for a moment. Part of him wanted to pick Farming, or Bounty of the Earth, but as he saw the bodies of the ents and lions, he knew what to pick.

Theo shrugged and selected Dimensional Storage.

>Private Message: Skill 'Dimensional Storage' Has been upgraded to Rank A- from Rank B+. Decrease time to open from 10 seconds to 55 seconds. Increased time allowed to remain open from 2:58 to 3:18. Increased Storage dimension growth from 20" per level per side to 24" per level per side. Total Storage now available: 21,952 Cubic Feet. Dimensional Storage has gained the Demi Plane trait. When you access the Dimensional Storage, you will now only summon a doorway that leads to it rather than the entire storage area.

Theo looked at the number. Twenty-one thousand, nine hundred and fifty-two cubic feet of space. "Well, that is just stupid."

>Private Message: Level Up Process complete.

[Julia] "Congratulations, Julia, you have leveled up to Level 15! As a reward for leveling up, you will be allowed to pick one Skill to upgrade. As a reward for reaching level 15, you have been granted a skill combination token. You have been granted Other rewards. Congratulations once again."

>Private Message: You have been granted the skill 'Cradle of Currents' as a reward.

Julia took the influx of information in stride and read the next box with interest.

Stat Gain Breakdown CATEGORY STR DEX CON INT CHA META Class 0 1 1 3 2 3 Race 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other 2 2 2 2 2 2 TOTAL 2 3 3 5 4 5

A quick glance at Theo told Julia that he had received something similar.

>Private Message: Please select one Skill to upgrade.

Julia knew what she wanted to upgrade Warmth of the Hearth, so she did just that.

>Private Message: Skill 'Warmth of the Hearth' Has been upgraded to Rank A- from Rank B+. Increased the distance of effect to 84 feet. Bonded pair range of effect increased up to 420 feet.

Julia smiled in satisfaction at the increase.

>Private Message: Level Up Process complete.

[Theo and Julia] Theo walked next to Julia as everyone continued working through their notifications. "You get a good skill?"

Julia nodded as she watched Sarah running with Skully from one dead ent to the next, pretending to fight the downed monsters. "It's called Cradle of Currents. Basically, I passively help others grow their Personal Mana Density, and once a day, I can cure Mana Poisoning."

"That is pretty slick." Theo said, chuckling at Sarah's antics, "I got Rooted Aegis. Basically, I lock myself in place and take less damage for it. It has a ten-second duration and a thirty-second cooldown."

Julia nodded. Everyone else seemed to be finishing up. "Should we check our other notifications?"

Theo nodded, and they focused on the next blue box.
