Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

Chapter 7: Player and Help

The next day, in the afternoon.

Eurius was standing alone in the training hall.

The process of creating a force circle was a burden for both the recipient and the practitioner, so today’s swordsmanship training was a holiday, but he had to test his new level.

Eurius first breathed evenly and circulated the force he received through the force circle.

His body felt light as if it was flying, and all his senses such as strength, agility, intelligence, and mental power became more refined.

This was the effect of the first stage. 

Just by circulating force throughout the body, he could experience a drastic improvement in physical abilities.

On top of that, he had the benefit of creating cores in his case.

‘Most of the energy from the force stone has been absorbed.’

He had used up all the remaining energy after creating the circle to create cores, so a considerable amount was absorbed into the circle. 

Of course, it was only a drop of blood on a feather compared to his previous life.

Eurius picked up a fairly heavy stone from the corner of the training hall. And then he threw it with all his might.

“Shiiing!”

The stone thrown with the enhanced strength by the circulation of force flew like an arrow towards the wall. It seemed like it would make a hole in the wall with its momentum!

“Puck.”

But surprisingly, before the stone hit the wall, it was caught by Eurius’s hand as if it was sucked in.

He moved faster than the flying stone or arrow by kicking the ground and caught the stone with his hand.

“Crack.”

That wasn’t all. 

The stone caught in his hand turned into dust and fell to the ground.

Eurius exclaimed without knowing it.

“The effect of core is much more amazing than I thought! To achieve the second stage so easily at once!”

The second stage was not just enhancing overall physical abilities, but reaching a level where he could freely manipulate the circulated force and strengthen his body.

Just like Eurius showed, depending on the user’s ability, he could move faster than flying stones or arrows, or crush hard rocks with just his grip.

And Eurius had used almost his maximum physical ability just now, but he didn’t feel any strain on his body. This was the effect of quad core.

It was natural that working with four hands was more stable than working with one hand.

Even if he suddenly raised his strength, there was less waste of energy and less burden on his body!

As soon as he activated the circle, four cores also worked sequentially to divide and adjust the circulated force.

“Then what about the third stage!”

Eurius stretched out his hand with a slightly excited tone.

He reached out to where he had just turned into dust.

“Ssssh…”

This time, the dust that had fallen to the ground gathered again and slowly rose up.

But that was only for a moment.

“Ugh…”

The dust that rose up to Eurius’s waist soon lost its strength and fell back down as dust.

‘I still lack to go beyond the third stage.’

A considerable disappointment appeared on Eurius’s face.

The third stage was the flower of knights who handled force.

It was an entrance to a true superhuman stage where he could manipulate not only inside but also outside of his body.

Knights who mastered this stage could walk around like a stroll on a battlefield where arrows rained down, and kill enemies tens of meters away with their swords. They were literally one-man armies that could be called so.

There were less than 200 knights who reached this stage in this vast empire, and only 50 of them were skilled enough to include imperial guards.

‘After all, I still don’t have enough absolute amount of force.’

What he had just tried was Force Grip, which was one of the most basic skills in the third stage.

It was a skill that allowed him to move objects far away with force. Currently, he couldn’t even pull light dust as he wanted. It wasn’t because of skill but because of lack of output from circle.

‘I’ll have to ask Marius to get more high-purity force stones or find another way.’

“Stat window!”

(New) Overheat – A skill that only you, who have four cores, can use. It temporarily increases your force rank by two levels. However, excessive long-term use can damage the core.

“That’s amazing, I don’t know much about skills.”

He checked his stats and nodded with satisfaction.

He had a feeling when he tested his achievement, but the increase in his talent due to quad core was amazing.

Heinz, an imperial guard who was also a skilled person in the empire, had only B- force aptitude.

Based on the ‘stats’ of other knights he had observed so far, his current force aptitude was not much different from the superhumans who were among the best in the continent.

And the newly created ‘skill’ also looked useful.

“Player Help open.”

[Help helps players understand the [system].]

[The amount of knowledge you can access in Help varies depending on your player authority.]

[Skill – It can be created depending on your achievements, activities, or knowledge. You will naturally come up with how to use the skill.]

[Force Aptitude – It means your affinity for force. The higher the rank, the faster your stat ‘Force’ rank increases. You also get additional benefits in all senses related to using force.]

Help was like looking at a dictionary. If he had something curious, it immediately brought up related knowledge in his head.

[Player – A player is a user who receives support from the [system]. You need to achieve more achievements to access more details.]

He didn’t know the principle, but he seemed to naturally learn how to use the skill called ability. It was as if someone injected knowledge into his head.

He looked up various information with Help, and Eurius wondered.

It was a question he had always felt since he came back to the past.

‘What exactly is a player?’

He had been looking at the imperial family’s records, but he couldn’t find anything more than ‘legendary heroes with amazing abilities that appeared two hundred years ago’.

Did they also have the ability to see [stats] like him?

No, are they and I even human like others?

The ability to see other people’s profiles itself was unheard of. 

At first, he thought it was just a mysterious ability of the imperial family that he had heard of, and he used it usefully, but this worry had to grow over time.

How could anyone but God revive a dead person or send him back to the past?

But he didn’t have much time to dwell on something that didn’t have an answer.

‘I’ll have to do some proper research on [player] when I have more time.’

He put aside his rising questions for a moment and sat down in the training hall again, trying to figure out how to train.
