《Breakout: The Evolution of a High School Nerd》Ch. 5- Do You Even Bonus Point?
Advertisement
Author's Note: This is a very different Chapter compared to the rest, but it has it's purpose. This Chapter gives you a little more enlightenment on things like...
1. How the MC will allocate his Stats
2. How Stats come into effect
EDIT: WE'RE SO CLOSE TO 300 FOLLOWERS! THANKS A BUNCH GUYS!
After 30 minutes into the final hour of torture, I had read through all of the Windows that appeared before me. Every time I finished reading a Window, it magically disappeared; and then whatever the Window had shown would come into effect.
(Author’s Note: This basically means whatever he gains won’t be put into effect until he verifies it. Last Chapter, I only showed the MC gaining the Endurance Stat and +4 Endurance (He gains an extra stat because he gained the skill) but in fact, his gains were more than this. I just didn’t want to make a chapter with 50 million Windows, which would have been pretty annoying.)
Each time I read a Window telling me about an Endurance gain, the pain lessened; which was a blessing to me. Now that I think about it, this would have helped a whole shitload if I opened these Windows while being tortured by the wolf; but then again, I wasn’t even able to think straight at the time.
Now, if we just have a quick look at my gains…
Endurance +1
I received this Window 128 times; after looking more into the Endurance Stat, I discovered that each point in the Stat reduces physical damage by .02. This will definitely help in the future…
Skill: Pain Tolerance
Has been Acquired
Reading this box made me somewhat happy; it showed me I won’t have to go through this hell for every skill Iearn. The skill made me feel less pain, and correlated with the Endurance Stat. Each point in Endurance is multiplied by .02 again, just like with my new Stat

Acid Resistance Acquired
Truthfully, I’m not really sure if this will be useful in the future or not… I mean, hopefully I won’t end up swallowed by a beast again in the future, but I guess you never know?
You Have Leveled Up
And to wrap things up, I also received the classic Level Up Window. I received this a total of 7 times, which increases all stats by 1, and also gives me 5 Bonus Points. Now, I can finally show my new Status Window…

At this point, I had to think long and hard (That’s What She Said!) about what I should do with my Bonus Points. While I couldn’t add them to Endurance which I would have loved to do, I can put them in any other Stat (besides Luck). While I was considering dumping all of my points in Charm, I knew it wouldn’t help me survive; plus I could always do that in the future.
Thus, I allocated my Bonus Points like this…

ALSO PRETEND ACID IS HERE AND AT 7%
I assumed Strength and Agility would be the most important to me, so I put most of my points in there. I also put a great amount of points into Vitality to increase my Health (Gotta love video game mechanics). I put less points in Intelligence and Wisdom, but I assumed I will need it for Abilities in the future; especially for the Demonic Regeneration.
After I finished allocating my Bonus Points, 2 Windows popped up before my eyes. The first Window…
Skill: Demonic Regeneration
Has been Acquired
As soon as I read this Window, all of the pain simply faded away.
‘Finally, that was absolute hell’
After I took a second to relax and move my body a little, I proceeded to the next screen…
WARNING: MULTIPLE STATS HAVE BEEN INVESTED INTO YOUR BODY. TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS, YOU WILL UNDERGO GENETIC BODY MODIFICATIONS UNTIL YOUR BODY CAN COPE WITH THESE STAT CHANGES.
Time: 3 Hours
‘FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!’
And once again, I entered a world of pain...

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
