"W-what… what is that?"
Aruga was shocked for two reasons. The first was that Dohyuk's physical stats were too high for the current stage. The second was that the other stats were too low.
"Why have you not invested in 'Magic' and 'Charisma'?"
"Are they important?"
"…"
Aruga shook.
"I…I lost to this… this…"
"I asked you a question. Are they important?"
"Of course they are!" Aruga shouted angrily.
"If you are a god… no... If you are one who stands on top of others, 'Charisma' is a must."
"What difference can it make, other than becoming a bit more handsome…"
"It makes a huge difference," Aruga claimed confidently. Other than changing physical appearance, Charisma had other uses.
"Let's say you go up against a weak loser. It's easier to make them fear you and they will lose the will to fight if you have a higher stats in Charisma. It also works with threats or persuasion."
"…!"
"And, if you are competing against someone with similar power for the ownership of a certain group, it will increase the chances of the group deciding to side with you too."
This… was a good lesson to learn.
"It also makes it easier to have your servants follow your orders."
"Then, what about 'Magic'?"
"I don't think it will be of much use now, but you said your 'kick' skill is at proficiency level 4?"
"Yeah."
"Then you should invest in some eventually. There will be a time where you will regret that you only invested in physical attributes."
Dohyuk nodded. That lesson was more important than what he thought he was going to get. Aruga was, after all, the survivor of the trials in his own world.
"Then.."
Dohyuk asked, "What about Endurance?"
"You don't need it." He replied solemnly, "That one is least, if not at all, necessary. It just lets you withstand pain and mental distress… Pain is still pain, you just need to endure it. As for mental distress, the Magic stat can help you with that."
"…"
"Don't waste your coins on Endurance, and if you have some leftover coins right now, invest in Magic and Charisma."
…
-Charisma: 174(+11)(D)
Was it because he invested in Charisma as per Aruga's advice?
Or maybe it was because Dohyuk had shown enough force.
"I-I know the place."
Duhoon pointed out Barkatu's location. It was a city of Aruga's, located nearby.
Before Aruga disappeared, he made an offer to Dohyuk.
'Go there, and I will give you payment for the contract.'
Each city had a Godly Item that was the core of the city. According to Aruga, the city of Barkatu had a 'book', and the book contained a skill.
"T-then, can you let me…"
Dohyuk kicked the back of Duhoon's neck and made him faint.
"Status."
It was time to use his coins, so he opened the status window. He had invested all his coins into Charisma, but he now had a few coins to spare from all the digesting he did from the previous battle.
-Coins: 23503
He had already chosen what to invest in.
-Magic: 2(+8)(F)
Without thinking of how much to spend, Dohyuk just used all of the coins. He tried to see how much it increased as he finished, but what popped up was unexpected.
