I leaned back against the back of my chair and stared at the window that appeared before my eyes.
『Karma Shop』
『Unique Skill Enhancement (1,100,000)』
『Status Enhancement – View Details』
『Karma held – 1,120,122』
Although Howard was born only a few days ago, he managed to obtain over 500,000 karma in the meantime and achieved the strengthening conditions.
It was a speed that no one on Earth would believe, but in fact, it was natural.
‘Even if vampires are a minority race, they have consumed the holy blood of the one who reigns at the top and have even usurped the throne.’
If you think about it that way, you could say it was rather salty, but that wasn’t all of the karma for this incident.
The figures earned now are only a down payment for the events that have just occurred.
Afterwards, if you take over the Eupersch Clan, expand its power, and exercise your influence as a Holy Blood, you will be paid a separate Karma.
‘By the way, it now costs 1.1 million to strengthen it once. I wish you would pay that price.’
The number of points needed for the transmitted Awakened to return to Earth was 1 million.
Considering that it took them about 10 years on average to collect them, it was an absurdly large number to spend on a single skill enhancement.
‘But what is this to me right now?’
As the Avatars grow and start playing in bigger waters, whenever something happens, karma pours down in the hundreds of thousands.
After the full-scale ‘home theater’ begins, it will only increase rather than decrease compared to now.
‘Even if I use it all now, it will accumulate again soon, so there’s no need to save it.’
That was truly a bourgeois way of thinking.
Those who barely manage to collect karma by overcoming all sorts of life-threatening crises would probably be shocked if they found out.
Just in case, I checked the ‘Mental Strength Enhancement’ item again, but the required karma points listed there were a whopping 640,000.
Unlike ‘Unique Skill Enhancement’, the status requirement doubles, so even though I had only enhanced it six times, it was already like this.
‘It’s much more cost-effective to strengthen your unique skills while increasing your mental power. Even when I spent a lot of money on strengthening your mental power for 320,000, I regretted it because it wasn’t as effective as I thought.’
I gathered my courage once again, took a deep breath, and immediately selected ‘Strengthen Unique Skills’.
String—
And now after the headache that felt so familiar passed.
A system notification window suddenly appeared before my eyes.
《Avatar’s potential increases. Growth is further accelerated.》
《Unique skills grow and their potential blossoms. When creating an avatar, you can choose one of three random skills.》
As a result of investing a whopping 1.1 million points.
Fortunately, the expected ‘increase in the number of avatars’ and ‘significant increase in mental power’ came naturally.
In addition, what was given was the now-standard comment of ‘increasing the potential of the avatar’ and a limited choice of skills that were previously given randomly.
and.
…That was all.
“Whew—I wish I had learned at least one useful skill.”
Unlike ‘Status Enhancement’, which grants increasingly stronger bonuses instead of exponentially increasing the required points, ‘Unique Skill Enhancement’ does not increase in effectiveness as much as the number of points required for a single enhancement increases.
Whether you spend 500,000 or 1,000,000, it’s just one level of strengthening.
But even though it was a fact I already knew, I couldn’t help but feel upset when I actually encountered it.
‘There are days like this. The skill selection isn’t bad either. I’ve just been lucky so far. ···Still, it wouldn’t be bad to try strengthening mental power next time.’
Now that it has increased to 1.2 million, I can’t help but sigh when I see the required points, but since I’m probably the only one who has strengthened my unique skill to this extent, this is probably just a complaint from someone who’s full.
I shook off my regret and immediately started creating my avatar.
At the same time, a “Customization” window appeared before my eyes to change my appearance and adjust my abilities.
However, a new sentence was added to the space where the new avatar’s skills would normally be stated.
