[18 Unallocated stat points]
"So, what are we gonna invest them in?" asked Garrick, and soon enough, an argument broke out among them.
"Invest them all in strength, trust me." Argued Varkas
"Oh, yeah, such a great idea, we broke our hand just punching a goblin, let's invest in strength so this time we can rip it off, you are so bright." Mocked Lucian
"Let's invest it evenly among all of the stats that we can understand." Lucian opened the stat screen

The sudden surge of vitality and strength in Lucian was mind-boggling for him. "I feel light not as a feather but still light."
"So, one can also earn skills noted." Agnos was the only one who could remember more than three things at once.
"Hey Agnos w-why is only L-Lucian's Name displayed on the s-screen and not anyone else's?" asked an already scared Tristan.
"Well, that's because it's Lucian's status scre-" Agnos's words faltered as he figured something out, and he switched without an explanation.
The blue screen seemed to glitch into colours of pink, red, and orange. The name changed from Lucian to Agnos, and so did the status screen.

"O,k so we have 10 different status screens and 10 different versions of everything, but then there are so many questions for-" Before Agnos can ask all his questions, Varkas started screaming.
"Let me invest all my stat points in strength so that I can rip off the faces of those goblins!"
"That's rather gnarly, Varkas, but let me think it out, what if we were to lose, suppose 10 hp, and I am left with 140, after which I switch with Lucian, who had 21. Will he fall to 140 or lose 10 hp or 10%, intriguing, isn't it?" Agnos seemed to question more and more about the status screen, but before anything else could be spoken, Varkas switched.
Even though every one of them warned Varkas not to invest all his stat points into strength, he wasn't the type to listen. Soon enough, he spoke up again
"Yep, that seems good, really good."
[Name: Varkas]
[Level: 1]
[Rank: Awakened]
[Fatigue: 23]
[Hp: 150]
[Stamina: 150]
[Mp: 100]
[Class: None]
[Strength: 23 (+18)]

[Mana: 1]
[Dexterity: 7]
[Endurance: 5]
He was eager to test out his newfound strength. He looked around and found a suitable rock. He punched it with all his might, and a soft imprint of his fist was pressed into the rock. Snap, just after the punch, their wrist seemed to have been snapped into the wrong places.
[Pain resistance (level 4 (+2))]
The notification appeared in front of his face, and then it hit the stinging Pain of his left hand, which had snapped in three places. "Fuck, I am strong," he groaned.
"You are so idiotic without sufficient endurance. I don't think we will be able to handle that much strength." Lucian Mocked
***
The hour had passed with everyone cursing Varkas for breaking their hand, but he didn't seem to care; he was more than happy. Agnos had discovered that endurance increased both stamina and health, and he had declared it the best stat they had.
The new quest flashed before their eyes,
[Tutorial Quest: Making a point]
[Requirements: The player must defeat 3 goblins]
[Time limit: 2 hours]
[Reward: Small amount of exp and a weapon of your choice]
[Failure: Upon failure of the tutorial quest, the player will face immediate termination.]
The blue screen flashed before Lucian's eyes. The quest made Kaelen question ever coming into the tower.
"We were barely able to hunt one goblin, and now three with a broken hand, we are gonna die fuck, I have so many things I never did l-like" said Kaelen, jittering and stuttering
"We won't just shut up."
Lucian was annoyed with Kaelen's cowardice. Lucian made one of their other personalities, Nyx, invest all his stat points in agility and endurance. Lucian groaned from the pain.
"Just find us an open area so it's easier to hunt."
Nyx was the type to value words and didn't speak much, barely speaking more than two words. He immediately began the search for the meadow area in the forest, but surprisingly, they didn't run into any goblins, and soon, Nyx found an empty stretch of area just like what Lucian had asked.
The area was devoid of trees and circular in shape. Nyx was hiding among the trees, waiting for a goblin to come out or peek through. Soon enough, three goblins emerged from the other side of the forest. There were three of them: a goblin archer, one armed with a dagger, and one who was covered in tattoos and was carrying a sack with something in it.
Nyx waited till every one of the goblins entered the area and fired the dagger from inside his inventory, and it landed on one of their heads, but on the head of the one with tattoos.
