Chapter 187: Levelling Up
"Yes!"
[How many Level Up cards does the Host intend to use?] The system asked, and Nolan sat up properly on his bed, sitting cross-legged.
It was time to improve his strength.
[Use 6 Level Up cards!]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 31!]
[+20 attribute points have been obtained]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 32!]
[+20 attribute points have been obtained]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 33!]
[+20 attribute points have been obtained]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 34!]
[+20 attribute points have been obtained]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 35!]
[+25 attribute points have been obtained]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 36!]
[+25 attribute points have been obtained]
"The allocated attribute points moved up from 20 to 25?" Nolan observed, gleeful.
His previously allocated attribute points were only 20 per level up, but now, at level 35, they had increased by an extra 5 points.
It might seem small, but Nolan knew well that this was a massive improvement. The extra 5 attribute points, if piled up enough, would be incredibly beneficial.
[Attributes]
[Strength: 150]
[Agility: 150]
[Perception: 150]
[Intelligence: 130]
[Charm: 8]
[Total Attribute Points: 130]
[How does the Host wish to allocate the Level Up points?] The system asked.
Nolan furrowed his eyebrows but quickly made his choice.
"Add 50 points to Strength, 50 points to Agility, 20 points to Intelligence, and 10 points to Perception."
He ordered, and in the next instant, he grabbed onto his knees as his body started to react.
Green veins squirmed out of his skin, their color shifting to a molten gold, as if lava was coursing through them.
He clenched his teeth and braced himself, forcing his body to remain still through the intense discomfort.
It felt like an eternity, but when the pain finally left, Nolan collapsed, exhausted, onto his bed.
[Congratulations, your points have been successfully added!] the system chimed in.
Nolan opened his eyes, looking at his updated attributes.
[Attributes]
[Strength: 200]
[Agility: 200]
[Perception: 160]
[Intelligence: 150]
[Charm: 8]
[Attribute Points: 0]
"Hm, nice…" Nolan muttered to himself.
[Hmmm, are you sure about that though]
The system suddenly asked and Nolan raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
[Your stats aren't balanced. Your perception is low, and you know how fast the Ascendants are.]
[With low perception, it's a significant risk.]
[I don't doubt that someone could put a blade to your neck before you even sense it if you have too low perception.]
[The same goes for your intelligence.] The system pointed out.
Nolan thought about it and found it reasonable.
One thing about the Ascendants was their extraordinary speed.
And Nolan knew well increasing his perception also add to his quick reaction time.
If Nolan faced an opponent with speed, which he no doubt would, his lower perception would put him at a disadvantage.
"Okay, then let me fix that..."
He still has a few Level up cards left.
"Use 4 Level Up cards!" Nolan ordered aloud.
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 37!]
[+25 Attribute Points obtained]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 38!]
[+25 Attribute Points obtained]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 39!]
[+25 Attribute Points obtained]
[Congratulations, Host has leveled up to level 40!]
[+25 Attribute Points obtained]
[Attributes]
[Strength: 200]
[Agility: 200]
[Perception: 160]
[Intelligence: 150]
[Charm: 8]
[Attribute Points: 100]
[How does the Host wish to allocate the attribute points?] the system asked.
"Add 40 points to Perception, 50 points to Intelligence, and 10 points to Charm," Nolan ordered.
Once again, another hot wave passed through his body, but this time, it was far less painful than before.
His veins wriggled, glowing briefly before settling down.
[Attributes]

"Now, all my stats are perfect…" Nolan noted with satisfaction.
He was now as fast as he was strong, and his perception and intelligence were just as good.
He felt balanced—well-rounded—and, for the first time, truly confident in his abilities.
The feeling of strength—of progress—it was addictive.
[And you also pitied the Charm stat too...] The system butted in rubbing the only flaw in his attributes on his face.
Looking at his runic device, Nolan noted it was still only 6:00 in the evening.
He wasn't feeling tired yet, but there wasn't much else to do either.
He couldn't read the books he had, and he didn't feel like going out since he had just returned.
In the end, he stood up from his seat and walked toward the window where he could see the entire academy.
Students walked in groups of twos and threes, and with his improved perception, Nolan could even eavesdrop on some conversations.
He chuckled at their naivety, while also picking up on the Ascendants' movements.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts and sneaking on other's gossip that he didn't notice when the door opened, and Luna walked into the room.

She wasn't surprised to see him, and she simply sat down on her bed, pressing her runic device.
For hours, Nolan remained in his sightseeing position until it was around 9:00 at night.
The stars shone brightly in the sky, but suddenly, a powerful wave of air blasted Nolan's face as the glass window slid open, causing his white hair to flutter in the sudden breeze.
Turning his head to the side, Nolan saw Luna retracting her hand from the button.
"It's better with the breeze," she said softly.
He nodded before turning his attention back outside.
She was right—the cool air was refreshing.
Only now did he notice that the Divine essence present in the air was almost twice as dense as in the Newcomers' area.
Perhaps that explains why the Ascendants cam all rapidly bolster thier strength. It was an extra-advantage of being an Ascendant.
"What do you think?" Luna suddenly asked from the side referencing to the movement outside that they both could see.
