[Storage: 328 225 XP]

"Has been a while since I last saw my status. Was it around two weeks?" Reading through the floating window in front of me I was surprised to see the amount of XP in my storage.

"Wow, I even reached a new record this time around! I totally of 328 225 XP!" Just looking at the huge number made Danzel's hand twitch with excitement.

Though he did enjoy studying the runes and the magic scroll. Spending this wallet was still yet the most fun thing to do.

"Let´s see how the status will rob me this time..."

Pressing through the window, the cost of the upgrade shows up in front of me.

[Undead Guardian Lv. 1]: 4500

"Damn, it cost more than I thought." Danzel mumbler to himself.

Of course, for him who now had 328 225 XP in these pockets, it didn´t look that much. He knew very well how such a huge amount of XP could vanish before he could realize it. The seemingly big number that he had to work for days to be achieved has been spending in less than a minute!

"Tch, this won´t be cheap." Casting my hesitation aside, I pressed the upgrade.

[Undead Guardian level has increased from Lv.1 to Lv.2]

[Undead Guardian level has increased-]

Looking at my XP storage being quickly drained I felt like I made the wrong decision. Though if there was a better option or a better way to spend my XP on started to plague my mind into stopping the upgrade process.

But I held on.

Currently, I didn´t need fancy skills and runes to carve.

Sure, If I were to get more runes I might be able to put multiple runes in equipment and gain at the end more XP out of a single item.

Focusing on skill wouldn´t be a bad idea too either.

Having to witness someone with a powerful skill I realized that strength itself wouldn't seal your victory for good. Though I was faster and stronger than the assassin named Kerres. This shadow warping ability was enough to bring him the edge to the fight.

So putting my focus into a skill and making it my trump card didn´t sound like a bad idea. Increasing either skill [Curse of Exhaution] or [Mana Arms] to the limit was among those ideas.

With the former, I could probably just cast the curse into an enemy and wait for the XP to come. As simple as that.

For the latter, though I hoped that the [Mana Arms] would become capable for actual combat. Just the thought that I could choke some with those arms ten meters away from me sounded cool enough.

What if they wielded weapons instead?

The very thought made me more than once put my finger away from the upgrade button. And yet I resisted the temptation.

I knew very well what I needed the most to protect myself against enemies like that Paladin.

And that was pure power and power alone!

Without being able to exchange blades and hits it wouldn´t even become a battle anymore. That´s considering he doesn´t use any of these skills though. In case he does use these skills that I guess are of the light or holy element, then I am in several ways screw.

Considering all those facts I went with the option that would give me the biggest amount of power.

[Undead Guardian level has increased from Lv.9 to Lv.10]

[Your class skills has been unlocked]

"Class skills?" Upon looking at the new message Danzel halted for a second before ignoring it and continue upgrading this class.

`I will have enough XP later on anyway. What´s now important reaching the limit of this class.´

[Undead Guardian level has increased from Lv.10 to Lv.20]

[Strenght Increased by 40, Agility increased by 20, Intelligence Increased by 20 and Endurance Increased by 20]

[You gained 40 Attribute points]

"Aghhhh!

" Aghh..." Right after having finished upgrading my class at 20. Death mana was being released out of my body and filling the room with it.

Currently, every single bone in Danzel's body was shaking a bit.

"Dammit, I upgrade too fast..." said Danzel annoyed.

What he was experience was similar when he bought a skill. Instead of knowledge though, this time it was his body.

Compare to learning a skill though, this was in this opinion better

Instead of feeling the usual headache every time, now he felt more uncomfortable than painful.

It was like his body couldn't handle such a sudden increase of strength. This body felt stiff and somewhat numb though all this body as if only this mind was being there.

Shortly after few minutes this what little he had of senses came back to him with the nearby dead mana flowing inside this body.

Feeling this body he was both impressed and yet annoyed by it.

"It will take so long to get used to such amount of strength..." he said dejectedly.

Considering that there was multiplayer by 1.1 in every attribute, he almost got half as strong as he was before.

That's assuming if he didn't use these remaining attribute points to further increase these attributes.

"The effect is way too good, but..." Turning this head, he blankly stared at it.

As the saying goes, nothing is free in this world.

"To think that once again my hard-earned fortune was spent in an instant..."

Looking at the previews 328 225 XP that I had turn instantly into 23 225 in total...

"Sigh...at least I have some crumbs leftover, unlike the other times." Shaking my head of how poor I am.

I went ahead and distribute the attribute points still left evenly through all four attributes.

'Let's see the numbers now'

"Status"

[Storage: 23 225 XP]

"Oh, the remark changed for good this time. Before it barely changed..."

After reading I went towards the missed messages to look around if I had missed something.

And at the very top of the list, there were indeed three.

[You reached the maximum level of the Undead Guardian class!]

[To advance into a higher tier class a mission has been assigned]

[Mission]: Evolve every class skill at least once or kill a tier-three being.

"Nice, it doesn't sound hard to do. At least the first option doesn't."

Realizing that the mission was just to buy the new skill he felt imminently relieved and sat on this bed.

"I wonder what the next class option has to offer." Saying that ouload.

Standing up from this bed, Danzel went out and buried himself in this research
