"9 attribute points? How did I get this?" Luis muttered to himself, staring intently at the line showing Available Core Attribute Points: 9 glowing faintly blue in his vision. He scratched his head, confused at first, but quickly connected the dots as his gaze drifted up to his level. "I get it now," realization dawned on his face as he looked at Level: 9. "It's simple logic. I must receive 1 free attribute point for every level I advance. Since I'm Level 9, naturally I have 9 points waiting to be assigned. That makes perfect sense, exactly like those games I used to play back on Earth." He nodded slightly, satisfied with his own deduction. Now came the important part, how to actually use these points to make himself stronger. "Now then, how do I use this thing." Luis reached out with his finger and tapped on the STR (Strength): 10 displayed clearly in the core stats section. He tapped it once, twice, three times, but nothing happened at all. The number remained stubbornly at 10, not moving even a single digit. "Is it broken? Or do I need to say something?" He tried shouting "Add point to Strength!" but still, the status panel remained static. "Hmm~ maybe this way?" Luis frowned, decided to try a different method. He pressed his finger against the number 10 and held it down for a second. Buzz! Sure enough, the moment he did that, the interface changed! A small sub-panel popped up right below the attribute he selected. ALLOCATE POINTS: [ - ] 10 [ + ] "Haha! I did it! It works just like I thought!" Luis grinned widely, feeling a sense of achievement. "Press and hold to activate, then use the plus and minus buttons to adjust. Very intuitive design." But as the excitement faded, a serious expression took over his face. He rubbed his chin, deep in thought. What should I add these points to? This was no game where you could just reset stats or start over if you made a mistake. Here, every single point represented his life, his safety, and his survival. If he allocated them wrongly, he could end up weak, vulnerable, and dead when facing a monster or an enemy lord. He had to be careful, very careful. He looked at the four main attributes again- Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Vitality. "The system didn't give any detailed information or description on how exactly each core attribute affects my power or abilities," Luis analyzed calmly. "But considering all the games, novels, and RPG settings I have played or read before, there is usually a standard logic behind them." He went through each one in his head one by one. "Strength is straightforward. It increases physical power, damage with swords or axes, carrying capacity, breaking power, useful for melee fighters." "Vitality~ for survival purposes, this is usually the king. It definitely adds to my maximum HP and physical defense. If I add points here, I become tougher, harder to kill, more like a tank." He thought about his companion, the World Tree. "My big buddy over there~ he is a natural tank. Even at his current stage, his HP is already 370 and MP is 240. That is already three times more than my base stats, if it doesn't include the massive boosts from my equipment. He is the shield, I am the spear." Luis shook his head slowly. "If I didn't have these Unique grade and Mithril grade equipments, if I was just wearing rags and holding a wooden stick like everyone else, then I would definitely pour everything into Vitality. I would make myself as durable as possible. But right now~ my HP is already over 1000 thanks to the armor. It's more than enough to survive any attack I can foresee at this stage. I don't need to be a meat shield." He moved his thinking to the next stats. "Dexterity~ usually increases speed, agility, reaction time, accuracy, movement speed. Very important for hit-and-run tactics and ranged combat." Then finally, his gaze landed on Intelligence. Luis's mind instantly flashed back to the weapon he had just obtained, the Mana Rifle (Epic Grade). "That gun, it uses
