They still received a daily trickle of refugees from nearby areas Those people would have the choice to either take a class or take their time It would be good for the town
But the more Randidly thought about the changes coming for the town the more he was bothered him was that none of the people of Donnyton seemed to be aware of these notifications Shouldn’t they have gotten them when he defeated the village’s tribulation
Brooding Randidly looked up and towards the pillar of light
Then the blood drained from his face
Perhaps the villagers of Donnyton hadn’t gotten the notifications because they weren’t within an area where the Newbie Barrier would be falling ahead of schedule But admittedly the barrier would fall in about 24 hours It was now the 6th day and a golden pillar of light stood tall over the village luminous even during the day
Slowly turning Randidly looked at the pillar over the neighboring village where the king was likely sitting on his throne The pillar pulsed blue
It seems that their Newbie Barriers would drop at similar times Randidly wondered if their neighbors would finally stop turtling and come out and help deal with the Raid bosses He also wondered whether the buildings they received for defeating a tribulation were buildings that Donnyton would also receive when the Newbie Barrier fell
The King hadn’t made a move since Randidly had went to his village broken their gates and had Pestilence eat through the king’s tongue and vocal cords Non interference policy the police man had said Hopefully that would continue
Hopefully the new buildings wouldn’t give them any ill advised ideas
Although having more help for the hordes and raid bosses would be helpful Especially since two dungeons would probably spawn one for each village
Then he shrugged So what if they didn’t come help with the monsters More experience for Donnyton
Chapter 58
There was a lot to do but Randidly put it off for a little bit longer looking instead at his skill notifications
In that last bout with the Sphinx he had gained 2 levels in Spear Mastery and Phantom Thrust 1 in Spear Phantom’s Footwork 2 in Phantom Half Step 4 in Fighting Proficiency 1 in Haste Sweep and Phantom Onslaught 3 in Empower 2 in Roundhouse Kick an impressive 6 in Spearing Roots 1 in Root Manipulation and Fireball 1 in Physical Fitness and Pain Resistance and 2 in Mental Strength
These stats he poured into Intelligence Strength and Control raising his ability to do damage which had been slightly underwhelming during the fight against the sphinx The Frontrunner path was only 70/100 and he still had 15 more stats to get from it but his status screen was already starting to become monstrous

Randidly’s Intelligence Agility and Control all were well over 50 which was probably the line that none of the other members of Donnyton had passed even if they focused completely on 1 stat Combined with a total Vitality of 55 Randidly did it all well even tank and much better than most people did
It was still something of a disappointment for Randidly that his Resistance was still so abysmally low 14 looked very sad surrounding by 46 and 64 But his speed was currently so high and he possessed enough defense skills that he didn’t want to invest the points into it currently
Randidly walked out of his hut and towards the area where they had left the thorny vine Now as he intended to level his Soul Plant he wanted to be able to see it
When he came to the glass container he found the strange being much as he had left it but Randidly was surprised to find Lyra crouching nearby and poking the container
You have weird taste in pets She informed him wonder in her eyes as she gazed down at the wiggling creature She didn’t even seem to mind the long scratches the thorny vines left on her hand as it tentatively prodded her back
He smiled slightly mildly embarrassed and elected not to respond He hadn’t managed to top her in quips yet and after an exhausting day now was not the time to start
Instead he opened his menu and sure enough there was a Soul Plant option He clicked it and a small status screen appeared
Soul Plant (Blood)(Click to Rename)
Lvl 1(Click to Level Up)
Survivability 6
Physicality 4
Magical Aptitude 1
Brain Function 3
Particularity 2
Battle Ability 4
Special Skills Flexibility
Randidly scanned through the explanations for the stats they were all pretty self explanatory Survivability was defense Physicality was physical strength Magical Aptitude magical strength Brain function was how intelligent it actually was like what sort of concepts and orders it could wrap its mind around while Particularity counted any characteristics that made it unique and gave it strength that weren’t really covered by the others Battle Ability was a combination of all the above scores which would equate it to what level monster it could hold its own against
Starting out able to fight level 4 didn’t seem very impressive but Randidly supposed it was level 1 It had time to grow Although it was pretty impressive that this small weird plant with 1 foot long tentacles could manage to surround and strangle one of the Lvl 4 wolverines that were as numerous as fleas
After a slight hesitation Randidly renamed the plant to Thorn due to its prickly appearance Then he clicked level up
Congratulations Your Thorn Lvl 1 is ready to level up Due to its nature your first choice is set Make Thorn either Hungry or Thirsty
No explanations were provided Randidly sighed So it was going to be like this huh The level ups for the plant were much more opaque than his own On a whim he clicked Hungry
Thorn is now Lvl 2 Survivability has increased by 2 Physicality has increased by 1 It has learned the skill Strangle
Congratulations Your Thorn Lvl 2 is ready to level up Due to absorbing the blood of The Smiling Tribulation Ep Tal please choose whether Thorn shall absorb its Body or Mind
After a second of hesitation Randidly chose Body After all he didn’t really need a strange mage plant Although having it be a little bit more intelligent would undoubtedly be useful
Thorn is now Lvl 3 Physicality has increased by 2 Due to increased size Particularity has increased by 2
A gasp took his attention away from the notifications and he turned to see that Thorn had swollen to be a fat bush about 3 feet in diameter bristling with thorny vine tentacles The glass container cracked and fell to pieces He felt Thorn’s pleasure as it stretched its new body flexing its powerful muscles
Lyra turned around and kicked Randidly in the shin Warn me next time Jesus
