26 pp all told and he dumped it all into his path finishing it off

Congratulations You have completed the The Meditation Path +5 to Perception and Reaction Your mind is clear and your eyes are focused That path lies ahead may be fraught with difficulties but you will meet it directly Effectiveness of Meditation improved Regeneration has increased to +1 5% per skill level

There was a slight hesitation then as Randidly considered what to put his PP into next but that horrible voice spoke again My my my What is taking so long Don’t you want to play Play Play

Grim eyed Randidly looked towards the Frontrunner path Reward path huh Well here goes nothing

He had 17 PP left and put them all into it

To his surprised he received 8 distributable stat points one every two levels If this continued this path would be worth 50 stat points without even including the completion bonus

But then Randidly heard movement and dumped all of it into agility He needed the edge in speed or he wouldn’t be able to handle the teleportation

Rushing forward Randidly was wearing a crooked grin

He had missed this Hanging on by a thread fighting for his life

In moments like this he forgot how much life was lost due to the system and just enjoyed the primal simplicity of it

Chapter 51

Rubbing sweat from his brow Glendel finished helping the beautiful woman Ellaine and the police officer Kraig unload the cases of beakers and test tubes and seemingly hundreds of other glass articles onto the ground finally stopping to glance around and take a look at Donnyton

Honestly while the other city had been the one with more buildings Glendel hadn’t barely been able to see any movement Here people were swarming They were currently in an area that was beginning to form into a small town square sitting down in the valley below the fort from which the pillar of light erupted

There were several foundations being laid for houses and huge tree trunks were laying everywhere seemingly abandoned on the ground Right now they were in front of a rather large longhouse looking building which Ellaine explained was Donnyton’s warehouse for supplies

Although She mumbled looking around with a strange light in her eyes It’s a lot bigger than the last time I was here

Their glassware was accepted by a stern faced woman with a clipboard who took everything in with a glance before turning around and whistling Around a dozen youths crawled out of the woodwork looking surly She frowned at them all

Fine fine finish taking these back to the vats in the back and then you are all free to go watch the spectacle up there

Whooping the youths swarmed around Glendel who stood still so as not to be trampled Very quickly the crates were moved and Kraig and Ellaine got back in the truck the latter gazing wistfully across the grounds towards another large building farther down the valley But then she shook her head and settled into her seat

Before they left Kraig leaned out the window and gave the woman a serious look Make sure the Ghosthound knows that we will forget what happened Let’s take a non interference policy from now on alright Good luck

And with that they drove off Glendel made a mental note about the term Ghosthound because they used it as if it was a proper noun Was it a monster of some sort

Had this village tamed a monster Is that why they had formed so quickly

Not that it would likely be difficult to fight down one of the blue monsters in their area now that they had banded together with a common goal and a leader But they hadn’t

These people had

The woman snorted and then turned to Glendel with raised eyebrows What are you defecting Well I’m a bit busy so

Oh no Glendel shook his head I’m uh from a group traveling up from Franksburg About 60 of us We were looking to trade

Trade Strangely the woman’s eyes began to sparkle What are you looking for

Partially food and a place to stay Glendel admitted And also access to whatever it is you do to get a class Information too And we are willing to give supplies in exchange Clothing Tents Tools

And Glendel added saving the best for last Medical supplies

Hmm Well I’d be willing to talk about the Clothing and Tools We are probably past the tent stage and medical supplies The woman shrugged I don’t think anyone has gotten a cold since they’ve gotten stats and could just raise their Vitality and Endurance

Glendel blinked slightly surprised I mean even without infections keeping health high should be something you’d be interested in right

Perhaps they had miscalculated Glendel thought Perhaps the classes were more powerful than they had thought

Before the woman could answer Glendel heard laughter from behind him and turned to find a lovely girl with sharp features and blonde hair to her shoulders She smirked at him as he turned around

No no She said I’m just here as a spectator this is going to be hilarious I can tell Play this out please and thank you

The woman bowed slightly Ms Lyra Should we expect the Ghosthound

Lyra scrunched her face up and huffed folding her arms The woman straightened and smiled Then she turned to Glendel again Well if you have any examples of clothing I’d love to see them Numbers sizes etc I’m willing to buy in bulk if food and information is what you want As for getting a class there are some rules about that You will have to go check up at the Classer portion of Donnyton

Classer But then Glendel shook his head refocusing No but first I guess I just don’t understand why medical supplies aren’t more attractive You probably didn’t know this but certain plants can be mixed to create potions

Lyra burst out laughing slapping her knee

The woman gave Glendel a kindly smile Mr

Glendel He said straightening

Mr Glendel why don’t you just follow me It would be easier than explaining

Glendel followed the woman as she walked into the longhouse They passed dried meat dried fruit nuts furs Glendel’s eyebrows rose Perhaps the woman was right about not caring about food He had only seen a few dozen people though so it was strange they had so much

Then they passed through to the back where around 20 people were standing by large vats slowly filling the glass containers Some with red liquid some with blue some with yellow Glendel gasped walking forward

The workers moved rapidly some grinding some carefully measuring others pouring water sample and all of them mixing mixing mixing

As Glendel watched he saw flashes of joy on some faces while disappointment colored others Several were carefully filling buckets with powder from the ground up energy crystals struggling to maintain the equality in quantity while upping the scale

No wonder they weren’t interested in medical supplies They had enough potions to solve any problems that might come their way

And also no wonder why they were more interested in the tools portion of the offer Most of the measuring equipment that they had were rather archaic analog scales where they would balance the two amounts of powder on the trays until they reached an equilibrium Only then would they mix No electronic scales seemed to be present

Glendel mentally thanked Alana for insisting Regina bring a few generators Really the only thing this place seemed to be lacking was electricity Hopefully that would be enough to trade for what they wanted

Wonderingly Glendel wandered closer and his mouth fell to the floor as he watched the people work with a closer eyes The speed that their hands were moving They probably all had double digit Agility

Lyra chuckled and the woman just looked on with a tight lipped smile Glendel picked up a vial of the finished potion examining it

68 health He muttered shocked The highest they had been able to achieve was just over 50 And that was only when Regina

The woman coughed into her hand seeming to be embarrassed Yes unfortunately mass producing it wasn’t as effective as we wished Here

She walked over to a smaller space to the side where a cooler sat on the table She filled a vial with liquid from the cooler the liquid glimmering azure and then brought it back to Glendel
