The {Elite Guards} went back inside the keep and the gates slammed closed behind them. I noted that the {Guards} dead bodies had disappeared and that the female {Guard} was now alive again.
It looked like they had a revival skill, too. But if that was the case, why didn't they revive the same time as I had? Maybe even earlier since they had died first. And, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't have [Revive] listed as one of my skills.
I sighed and shook my head. More questions I wouldn't be getting answers to. Pushing the rapidly growing confusion to the back of my head, I opened the new notifications I'd gotten.
For assisting in the death of a Player 5 levels above you, you have gained 120 EXP.
You have leveled up! You are now level 2. You have gained 2 Tree Points and 4 Attribute Points for leveling up.
A level up! That's pretty great. What were these points, though?

Okay, so, AP is Attribute Points - which I could use to upgrade the supposed attributes - and Tree Points (TP) were used for...something else?
I could figure those out later. For now, I had to spend my points. One thing I absolutely wanted more HP, which seemed to directly correlate with STR - strength. I put one point into STR and watched it tick up to 11 while my HP went up to 110, matching my SP. I couldn't seem to take back the AP spent on attributes, which was good to know. I couldn't make rash choices in spending these things. I figured more Agility would be helpful - [Burst] gave me a small boost to it, which was nice, but I didn't want to depend on a skill to save my butt all the time. So I put another point into STR and the last two went into AGI. When I did so, I felt my body start to tingle.
It went on for a few seconds before eventually settling down. What had that done? I took an experimental step forward and was pleased to note that the step felt...smoother somehow. I felt a bit more stable and the weight of the gambeson didn't seem to bad anymore. Was that the result of upping my Strength as well?
I shrugged my shoulders, feeling the padded shirt lift a bit easier than before. Okay, then. Strength and Agility were going to be my go-to stats until something convinced me otherwise.
What interesting event will he have to experience before he can purchase or be given a Name?
At the moment, he sorta kinda still has his 'Elden Keep Guard' mentality, so a name isn't high on his list of priorities, but it'll happen soon!
This story reminds me of solo-leveling again XD
Really? Do tell.
@The3Crimson3Kane The MC in solo leveling also chose to upgrade strength and agility at the start
@fireswordy Ah
No magic no magic no magic
Weighed down by a gambeson. Oof.
Did I just misread it or did he just spend one point to STR and the last two points to AGI but where's the fourth point he should have?
You didn't misread...
Ohhh... ? I hope the "world" MC is in, is a popular game, an undying game... I don't want to know what would happen if this isn't one, and he's be forced to leave the game or die with it altogether. ???
Now that I think about it, that would be a cause of concern, wouldn't it?
nice.
