Merlin sat on the floor cross-legged, the blue interface of the System hovering before him. There were only a couple of hours at most until the war began, and even though he wasn’t exactly sure how it was going to pan out, or if that would be the required way to clear the first floor of the Tower, he still had to be ready. The System was silent still on the requirements of the first floor of the Tower, but that didn’t translate to his stats. At least not fully. He tried his best to not make himself stand out to the professors, who were most likely watching as he went through what little gains he had gotten while in the Tower—which was infinitesimal—as he peered straight ahead like he was meditating. It didn’t come as a shock to Merlin that the more he leveled up, the slower his progress got. Not because he had turned to slacking off a lot, but simply because his exercises were barely adding any significant change to his stats. There was only so many push-ups he could do to level his Strength and jogs to improve his Agility. His Resilience, for one, had gotten far tougher than the rest to progress ever since it had crossed the level fifty mark. Now his stats for the attribute were always halved. That proved the same for him in the Tower. His altercation with the sandworms hadn’t granted him any rewards, even though his life had technically been on the line. Merlin could only guess that it was because the System was well aware of what the plan was, which was to escape the sandworms by running away. The thing had always struck him as sentient in comparison to Kieran’s in Singularity Mage. But, that aside, he had a bit of free attribute points from what little training he’d had the time to partake in. He could make use of those to give himself a bit of preparation for the war. Every little thing mattered. [Progress to leveling up Strength: 76.25%/100%] [Progress to leveling up Agility: 87%/100%] [Progress to leveling up Intelligence: 49%/100%] [Progress to leveling up Perception: 27%/100%] [Progress to leveling up Resilience: 20%/100%] [Free Attribute Points received: 30] Looking at his progress in each attribute, Merlin could only see one worthy of throwing all his free attribute points in that would guarantee him a level up.His Agility attribute. He didn’t have the leeway to relaxedly build the rest at the moment, his Intelligence, for instance. And, in a war, agility was key. The ability to evade attacks, switch from one point to another in an instant, and be decisive could not be understated. He was certain his decisions would do no harm. Assign all my free attribute points to Agility… [Assigning...] [Successful] [+30 Attribute Points have been assigned to Agility] [Progress to leveling up Agility: 87%/100%] → [02%/100%] [Agility has leveled up!] [Agility Level 43 → Level 44] Just like with every level up of his Agility, Merlin felt his body become significantly lighter than it was a second ago. And his brain programmed the level up to give him vague ideas of what he could do in his current state. The easiest ones he could pick out was his newfound ability to run on walls and balance on ropes like he was a gymnast. Those were skills he could feel coming into handy. Perhaps not during the war, but down the line. Satisfied, Merlin summoned his user interface. NAME : Merlin Tyrrell AGE : 17 MAGE CLASS : Deficient SYSTEM CLASS : ???

It had been skipping his mind for a while now with all that had been going on, but, now, he noticed that his ‘Mage Class’ hadn’t changed. Well, if he thought about it like that, it seemed like his Mage Class was supposed to change naturally, but it was only weird to him because he had been diagnosed to have the mana of a C-Class Mage back at the Consortium Guild. Didn’t that technically mean he was a C-Class Mage? Shouldn’t the System recognize that? Or was it that the growth in
