After choosing yes, two more options appeared in front of Lux.

This was the question that stomped Lux in the past, but now, he understood what he needed to do.

‘Upgrade Stat Points,’ Lux ordered and the Beast Core in his hand was consumed.

< Upgrade Stat Points has been chosen >

< Are you sure about your decision? >

< Yes / No >

Lux said yes to confirm his decision. Immediately, the Beast Core turned into particles of light and was absorbed by his body.

Several rows of text appeared in front of him, showing him the results of the Beast Core Consumption.

Lux unsummoned his Soul Book as soon as he finished adding his stat points. He then ran after Grandma Annie, who was now actively shooting fire bullets at every Undead that she encountered.

The Half-Elf could see her breathing raggedly, but the old lady kept on hurling fire bullets at the Undead who were about to strike the Defenders who were slowly losing ground with each passing minute.

Lux was about to run past Grandma Annie to help Colette and her friends when the old lady stopped him.

“Take this, Lux,” Grandma Annie said as she handed him a dozen Honey-Flavored Leaf Candies that restored Health and Mana by fifty points. “Don’t use them sparingly. I have plenty of those, so if you run out, just come and find me.”

Grandma Annie winked at Lux before putting a candy inside her mouth. Immediately, her complexion became better after replenishing her mana reserves.

“I will,” Lux nodded. “Thank you, Grandma Annie.”

Lux gave her a brief bow before running towards Colette, Matty, and Diablo, who were in an intense battle against several Undead that had encircled them.

Just as he arrived at their location, Diablo turned into particles of light after getting slashed by an Undead that was meant to hit Matty from behind.

“Rise and fight once more, Diablo!” Lux ordered and the White Skeleton reappeared beside him with red flames burning in its hollow eye sockets.

Lux felt a bit light-headed because his mana had almost dropped to zero after summoning his named creature for the fourth time.

He hurriedly ate one of the candies that Grandma Annie gave to him, and immediately felt better afterwards.

“Colette, take one and give the rest to your friends,” Lux ordered as he handed six candies to the little girl who was breathing heavily. Her tear-stained face, which was proof of the terrible things that she witnessed tonight, made his heart ache.

“These candies will help you recover your stamina, as well as your mana,” Lux explained. “Do you see that old lady over there shooting fire bullets? If you need more candies, just go to her.”

Colette was still in a daze, but she was able to nod her head in understanding. After passing the candies to his friends, she ate one, which immediately made her feel that her strength had returned to her.

“Let’s fight together!” Lux said as he faced the Undead that had now gathered up in front of them.

“Right!” Colette gripped her mace with both hands. “Everyone, let’s fight!”

“”Yes!””

“Summon Forest Wolf!” Lux ordered and a meter-tall forest wolf appeared beside him. Although the Forest Wolf was only slightly stronger than a Skeleton Warrior, having more allies was better than having none.

“Charge!” Lux shouted as he ran with Diablo and the Forest Wolf at his left and right side.

Colette and her party was right behind him as they supported Grandma Annie in holding back the Undead.

“Slash!” Lux shouted as he slashed his sword in a wide arc, instantly beheading two zombies in front of him.

< Fury Slash >

– Progress (1/100)

The low-tier undead didn’t drop Beast Cores. Only Ranked 1 Monsters and above—like the Draugr—had them.

Unlike the Half-Elf, Colette and the others gained experience points from killing monsters. These points allowed them to level up, which gave them free stat points that they could distribute freely depending on their wishes.

At first, Lux argued with Eriol that this was unfair treatment. Unlike the other Solaians, who could level up, the Half-Elf didn’t have this advantage.

Eriol smiled at him at that time and told him the reason why he was unable to gain experience points by killing monsters. It was because his soul was damaged and wasn’t able to be born naturally in the World of Solais.

Because of this, the laws of the world didn’t apply to him because he was more of a transmigrator, than a reincarnator.

However, Eriol assured him that compared to Solaians, Lux’s progress was far superior.

Instead of waiting to level up, he would receive quests that would directly upgrade his stats and skill points which Colette and her friends were unable to do.

Also, Eriol added that each time a person in Solais leveled up, they would only get three stat points that they could distribute freely.

Although they could progress faster in the earlier levels, when it came to the middle levels, unless their families were rich, and had many Beast Cores, and other resources in their possessions, Lux would leave them in the dust because of his “no-leveling-up” stats and skill points upgrade.

“Slash!” Lux faced three zombies and cut their bodies in half with the sword in his hand.

Checking his mana reserves, Lux sighed when he realized that he could at most use Slash five more times before his mana points would be down to five.

His mana regeneration of 1 mana point recovered every two minutes was not enough to obliterate the low-tier undead in his path.

‘I’ll add some points to Intelligence later,’ Lux thought as he used his shield to block the attack aimed at his chest. ‘At this rate, I might choose the Magic Swordsman Profession when I get a total of 100 combined stat points.’

Just like in games, there was also a Job Class Change mechanic in Elysium. They could use this function by going to the Adventurer’s Guild, Temples, or Shrines that were scattered all over Elysium.

Just as the red-headed boy was sighing over his limited mana capacity, Grandma Annie shouted for them to retreat.

Lux backed off just in time to dodge a thrown sword headed in his direction.

When the red-headed boy looked in the direction where the sword had come from, he found three Draugr’s walking leisurely towards their group, which made his expression turn grim instantly.

(A/N: Take note that Lux said stamina here instead of Health Points because it would make no sense if he told them that the candy would help them recover their “Health Points”. So, he opted to tell them that it would help them recover their stamina which, in some cases, is almost the same, since it will make them feel that they had recovered their strength to fight again.)
