Chapter 201: Edgar''s Breakthrough

    Edgar wiped the sweat off his brow as he sat in the empty dungeon. The last levels to 250 took way longer than he ever thought they would. It ticked him off that his brother was closer about how long it would take than he was. Though, Edwards predictions were based on Edgar having an epic class, not legendary. Edgar had kept that nugget of information to himself.

    He had just maxed his Wisdom out and it felt like his brain exploded. He honestly wasnt sure he was going to survive. Hed been through pain before, like at the previous 1000 stat point thresholds, but the 1500 point breakthrough in Wisdom took the cake.

    He thought nothing would have been as bad as the breakthrough in Endurance with the skin crawling and itchiness. It was awful. But he never thought it was going to kill him. He only hoped that he made the correct decisions for his stats at least the couple thousand that wasnt decided by his earlier classes. He pulled up his stats one last time.

    His class was a Wisdom based class through and through. Before he got his legendary class at level 200, which let him distribute his stat points at his own discretion, the Wisdom stat was heavily favored by each level he received.

    Edgar was lucky when it came to his class. He received a special epic class at level 25. He gained 23 stat points for each of the 175 levels he gained while having an epic class. Of those 23 stat points, 7 were auto assigned to the Wisdom stat, while 5 were auto assigned to Intelligence. 3 points were assigned to both Vitality and Endurance. Which left him with 5 points to assign himself.

    Edward flicked his wrist and a stack of papers appeared. He handed them over to Edgar. This is a list of all the Onyx Ranked military personnel who meet your conditions. They have all been informed that they may be chosen, and are waiting for your decision. I didnt include those who wanted to opt out. It will be their choice to enter, just as you asked.

    Edgar took the papers and began flipping through them. Hmm 67 people. I didnt think there would be so many.

    Edward shrugged. Not all Onyx Rankers are strong. Choose carefully. Their stats are all there. We allow them to keep their skills hidden, though. There are only vague descriptions of their skill sets.

    Edgar nodded. As it should be. Everybody deserves to keep something secret.

    Now. Come on. Fathers waiting. Edward pushed off the wall and led Edgar through the palace and into King Edwins study. Their father was sitting at his desk, alone.

    Father. Edward said, causing King Edwin to look up from whatever document he was reading.

    Ah, Edward Edwin I trust your training went well? Edwin asked.

    Edgar snorted. No, actually. It didnt. You see, I was forced to forgo my training that I spent years perfecting, and do some shit I swore I would never do.

    Edgar. Language. Edward scolded.

    The King waved it off. No worries. It is only the three of us here. I know you didnt want to do it this way, but the Kingdom is in your debt because you did.

    Oh, the Kingdoms in my debt? Are you in my debt? Edgar asked.

    If the Kingdom is in your debt, then of course I am also in your debt. The King squinted his eyes.

    Good good. Edgar said. The auction begins in a week, correct?

    Yes. The King answered. Alanah has allowed for each member to bring up to two guests with them.

    Then you wouldnt mind allowing me to have first dibs on any meal, would you? You know, debt and all. Edgar smiled.

    Edgar! Father needs the stats. Edward rebuke.

    Its one of the meals. Edgar said. Those wont increase his Vitality, and Endurance only gives a small boost in life expectancy. In the long run, a few weeks wont matter. I wouldnt even ask if it wasnt for the rumored Void Beast that provided Vitality instead of other stats. Surely, father would be willing to give up a mean for his son who is risking his life in a never before explored Time Distortion dungeon if he is able to get his hands on the Vitality product.

    Still Edward started.

    Thats fine. Edwin said. If the opportunity presents itself, you shall have the stat boosting meal, and I will take the Vitality product. Think of it as a congratulations for reaching max level.

    After that, King Edwin stood. Now, my boys. What say we get to Savannah? There are a few people I would like to visit before the auction begins.
