Chapter 12: Artisan Path
Six more months passed in the blink of an eye; Rain became three years old, and peace reigned over at his home since Dana only cried when she was hungry or when she pooped instead of all damn time for no reason. Around the same time, Rain made another breakthrough.
(The human path reached level thirty.)
(All Parameters increased by one.)
(You learned the skill of Writing.)
(You reached the necessary requirements to unlock a new path.)
(Student Path - Unlocked due to the proficiency in language, reading, and writing. This path emphasizes learning, knowledge acquisition, and academic pursuits.)
(Student Path: + 03 Intelligence, + 03 Wisdom per level.
Level 1: Language Proficiency - Enhances the user's ability to communicate effectively and comprehend various languages, granting a 5% bonus to language-related tasks per level.)
"As expected, this is taking too long, and I am missing something… at this rate, I will never learn magic before I am five," Rain thought.
While Rain unlocked other paths, he didn't have many chances to level them up since they were limited. It made sense, the human path was the easiest to level up, and the other ones from the second tier onward would be more difficult, perhaps up to five times. In any case, it was clear that he needed to think what was happening.
"I suppose old families would pass down the methods to get stronger faster and keep a secret from others," Rain thought. "Father was the youngest, so he didn't learn the secrets, or perhaps he doesn't want to raise me the way he was raised."
In any case, at level twenty-five, Rain learned the skill of Reading, and since his mother was working on copying them again, he had the chance to learn how to read. He was leveling up that skill pretty fast as well, but it helped when he read books with things that he didn't know.
"What I don't know… huh," Rain thought when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Although it had some difficult words, Rain decided to read some difficult books that talked about Herbalism. Soon, he confirmed that he did the right thing.
(An Unknown skill leveled up.)
(An unknown path received experience.)
(Until the path is unlocked, you will gain bonus experience in the Human Path of two hundred percent.)
(Human Path received 100 experience points.)
"As expected, there is a trick to gain more experience… I just need to learn things that are far above my level," Rain thought. "It is like trying to face and defeat a boss that is much stronger than you. It is difficult, but the rewards are much better."
Rain wondered if there were other tricks to progress faster. Learning practical skills for a mentor should work, but Rain couldn't ask someone to teach him anything. The school was a thing in that world, but only rich kids could go… only increasing the gap between the rich and the poor.
Rain made another breakthrough when he decided to improve his physical training. He wasn't sick of his roadwork, but he decided to do other things since he was barely getting tired after running for two hours. When he began to do some shadowboxing, he soon learned another thing.
(An Unknown skill leveled up.)
(The Physical path received 100 points of experience.)
(Until the skill is unlocked, you will gain bonus experience in the Physical Path of one hundred percent.)
(Physical Path received 100 experience points.)
"Great, things are starting to get interesting," Rain smiled.
Although Rain wanted to test a bunch of techniques, they didn't grant the same results… it seemed that boxing techniques from Earth weren't part of the system, but some concepts probably were.
Over the next few months, Rain decided to study the system further and check for more tricks that he could use to gain extra experience. He wished that he could focus on a single path, but he needed more information before deciding on that.
Aside from reading difficult books and shadowboxing, Rain learned that he could get more experience by training his balance, using a broom like a spear, and even meditating. All of those were skills from paths that he hadn't unlocked yet. So, he began to make a lot of progress.
Although it took him six months to get to the last ten levels in the human path, Rain got ten more in the next month! The Physical Path also reached level ten, but he didn't unlock a new path on it. The options would be too numerous if that were the case, after all.
(The human path reached level forty.)
(All Parameters increased by one.)
(You learned the skill of Labor.)
(You reached the necessary requirements to unlock a new path.)
(Artisan Path - Unlocked due to the mastery of artisan skills and craftsmanship. This path focuses on various artisan trades such as blacksmithing, woodworking, or pottery.)
(Artisan Path - Dexterity + 04, Luck + 02 per level up.
Level 1: Foundational Techniques - Develops foundational skills and techniques in the chosen artisanal craft, enhancing proficiency by 5% per level.)
(The Physical Path reached level ten.)
(You learned the skill of Agile Movement.)
(Agile Movement - Increases movement speed by 5% per level and provides a 20% chance to dodge incoming attacks.)
"I should equip Agile Movement. Foundation Techniques won't be useful now… not like I can make anything in my current situation," Rain thought. "Regardless, with my daily training, Agile Movement will be easier to use. Hopefully, I will unlock another path at level twenty of the physical path." Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om
That didn't happen, but something better happened… Rain suddenly learned how to control his mana!
