Lilith was in the middle of zoning out to some mindless action movie when she got the first messages.

And, perhaps, delaying a meal might make it taste even better. |
“So.” Lilith said, pausing the movie. “What’s this about Siph being in my party?”
Kali winked. “I did some messing around with the system and got it to recognize Familial Bond as a party. Party members can choose to share EXP with other party members, and I made sure that defaulted to on. Normally the experience is divided evenly among the party, but since you’re the only one in your party who can actually gain EXP it’s all yours. Go ahead and take a look at your Status now, it should be looking much better.”

“Is a level 29…supposed to be this strong?” Lilith asked.
“You kidding? Of course not! Not only did I give you a busted Class, you just leveled up every single Racial Class in existence twice. Sure, you’re not getting anywhere close to their full growth potential on any given level,” She paused, smirking, “Yet. But you still gained quite a bit from those levels.”
“What do you mean I’m not getting close to their full growth potential?”
Kali shrugged. “It has to do with how lumping those Classes together works. Since the system doesn’t want to give thousands of stat points with a single level, it’s locked several chunks of the growth rate of your Racial Classes until you unlock them with Skill Points. Don’t worry, though, once you do unlock those it’ll activate retroactively.”
“And what are these Skill Points I’m seeing?” Lilith said, ignoring another pop-up window that appeared, presumably from Siph killing something.
“Racial Class Skill unlocks are quite a bit looser than regular Class unlocks. Instead of set Skills every few levels, it gives you a Skill Point and choices of Skills you can get. Bringing the class to maximum level should give exactly enough Skill Points to get everything. For now, I’d advise leaving those alone. I have something I think would be a good use for them.”
“Sure.” Lilith said. Again, she caught the briefest flash of an annoyed look on Kali’s face but was quickly distracted by the windows that were quickly piling up in the corner of her vision.
Your party member Siph has killed a Young Purple Worm! You gain 1425 EXP! 1/10th of this experience has been added to each Racial Class! Class experience and Racial Class experience have been boosted by Class Experience Up (Minor) and Racial Class Experience Up (Minor), Greedy Gallop, and Sloth’s Supper (This message will display 4 more times before it stops displaying. At that time, extra experience gained will be factored into the EXP shown)! Your party member Siph has killed a Juvenile Wall-Breaker Worm! You gain 2480 EXP! … Your party member Siph has killed a Young Wall-Breaker Worm! You gain 1394 EXP! … Your party member Siph has killed a Young Wall-Breaker Worm! You gain 1440 EXP! Your party member Siph has killed a Wall-Breaker Worm! You gain 3869 EXP! |
The experience gain messages stopped after that, but there were even more messages awaiting her attention afterwards.
You have gained a Class level! (x71) You have gained a Racial Class level! (x120) You have reached level 100 in Progenitor! Please pick a new Class! You have reached level 100 in a Class for the first time! Experience earned while your main Class is at maximum level is lost until you set another class as your main Class. This message will not be shown again. You have leveled up 100 times! Weighted Training Body has been upgraded to Weights Lifted! |
Weighted Training Body Level Max Rank: Unique Your stats were reset by the system. All non-level bonuses to affinities, resistances, and stats are sealed. Weight Lifted Level 1: 0/100 EXP (Gain EXP by performing actions while under the effects of Weights Lifted) Rank: Unique You leveled up 100 times while the system actively sealed your true ability. You have figured out how to overcome this restriction, removing the seal. Furthermore, this knowledge allows you to temporarily increase bonuses to stats, resistances, and affinities granted by Titles, Achievements and Skills by 100%. Doing so places great stress on your body, however, and Weighted Training Body is reactivated after the effects of Weights Lifted ends. The length of the reactivation is dependent on the time spent in this. You may not be under the effects of Weights Lifted for more than one hour at a time. You may reactivate Weights Lifted while Weighted Training Body is active but doing so will exponentially lengthen the recovery period. If anyone asks, you can say that yes, you do lift. |

Lilith took a deep breath and opened her Status, looking only at the box with stats in it, as not much else actually changed that she wasn’t already aware of.
“Kali.” Lilith said flatly.
“What’s wrong?” Kali answered with exaggerated innocence.
“Don’t you think we’re moving a bit…fast?”
“I don’t think we’re moving fast enough.” She said with a sly smile. “I invite you into my room, change into my pajamas, watch a movie on you with you on my bed, and you haven’t even tried to hold my hand, let alone anything else!” She laughed at Lilith’s unimpressed expression. “Sorry, you made it way too easy. And no, I honestly don’t. Again, busted class. Keeping that in mind, I also just had Siph go torch some relatively high power monsters, although there’s a limit to how strong they can get without the new system, so their EXP is pretty low compared to what they normally would give. Anyway, it’s about time you picked your next Class. I’ve been itching to see how physical combat Classes will stack up…”
“How do I do that?” Lilith asked.
“Ah, right. Just focus on changing your Class. You should get a list of options once you do.”
“Alright. Give me a second, then…” Lilith focused as instructed, and read the window in front of her.

Without too much of a thought, she selected Swordswoman.
Error: System access has been blocked by a powerful effect! Please leave the area or somehow cleanse the effect to continue!
Lilith shot Kali a quizzical look. “Why isn’t it letting me change my Class?”
Kali was wearing that frown again. “So. Let’s talk about this. You need to stop letting other people’s opinions sway how you act, especially when it comes to your abilities. If you’re going to be the one keeping the peace when this all goes down, you can’t let everyone walk all over you. It’s one thing to take someone’s advice, but it’s completely different when you’re basically letting them make the decision for you. If you want to really help me out, then I need you to do what you want to do, and I am well aware of what you want to do. So, we’re going to sit here until you do that. “
“Yes, mam.” Lilith said, looking downwards.
“Good. And this isn’t the last we’re going to talk about this, either. We’re going to break this submissive streak of yours at some point, but not now. For now, just change your Class, alright?”
Lilith nodded, and made her choice.
You have chosen to reset Progenitor. Would you like to continue? |
Lilith confirmed her decision and was met with a flood of messages.
You have reset Progenitor! Your Status has been updated to reflect this change! You have gained a Class level! (x99) You have reached level 100 in Progenitor! Please pick a new Class! Congratulations, Growth Up (Minor) has leveled up! (x3) Congratulations, Growth Up (Minor) has evolved into Growth Up (Moderate)! Congratulations, Growth Up (Moderate) has leveled up! (x2) Congratulations, Greedy Gallop has leveled up! (x3) Congratulations, First Come, First Serve has leveled up! (x3) Congratulations, First Come, First Serve has reached the maximum level! Please inspect the Skill to see evolution options! Congratulations, Skill Experience Up (Minor) has leveled up! Congratulations, Diligence's Dinner has leveled up! |
Satisfied, Lilith nodded. “Alright. I’ll wait like this until Siph can get me some more EXP.”
“Actually,” Kali said, “I was thinking we could get you your next Virtue real quick. Siph just finished off that nest, so we might as well let her rest back here.”
“Fair enough. What are we doing?”
“Unfortunately, these last two are going to be the most annoying to get. Wrath is going to require you to kill a lot of things, which we’re going to wait to do since it’ll be more efficient later. Abstinence…well, it’s easy but it’ll take a while and it’ll be a pain. Basically, I’m going to need you to go on a fast for a day or two. No food or drink, no entertainment, no contact with others, and unfortunately, no conscious attempts to gain EXP or level up. Just sitting there, probably contemplating life or meditating or whatever. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s effective. Is that alright with you?”
“Best to just take care of it, I suppose.”
“Good. I’ll be working on getting things ready for you to get Wrath while you do that, alright? After we do that it should speed things up a lot. If you head over there,” She motioned to a door to the right side of the room, “I’ve got a secondary bedroom set up. Go in there and don’t come out until you get the Title, OK?”
“Ok.” Lilith said, walking over to the door. “I’ll see you in a bit.”
Your progress will surely race forward now!
The pun is SO bad... I love it.
Total Level: 29
EXP: 76/100
Shouldn't the exp needed for next level scale up?
Gaining the skill Chastity's Clarity wasn't mentioned when she obtained the Titles/Achievements of Chastity back in chapter 22.
these last two are going to be the most annoying to get
Lilith is lacking 2 virtues. Unless you are not counting Wrath mentioned just after.
And among the virtues there should be no Abstinence(it's part of Chastity) nor Liberality. Instead it should be: Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness and Humility.
The exp scale actually did occur. The required EXP for the next level is 100.28 at that point, the decimal has just been truncated for neatness' sake.
As for the Skill...Uh...it's there I don't know what you're talking about it wasn't retroactively added at all nope no siree
So, virtues are weird because there are several different sets I could have used. For example, I could have used Faith/Hope/Charity/Fortitude/Justice/Prudence/Temperance (the seven heavenly virtues)
In this case I used the contrary virtues, specifically for their relationship to the sins. It's a bit of an antiquated set, and is paired as follows
Humility/Pride
Kindness/Envy
Abstinence/Gluttony
Chastity/Lust
Patience/Wrath
Liberality/Greed
Diligence/Sloth
Although, I did change Liberality to Charity later on for ease of understanding, I must have forgotten to change it here.
As for the issue, I was puzzled myself (mostly due to having forgotten to add Abstinence in my personal list of titles), but the main sticking point right now is that Lilith got Diligence after viewing Titles and didn't view them again after gaining it, leaving a sort of illusion where the list says she only has 5 but she's actually got 6.
Edit: The definition of the contrary virtues might well have been updated and is now as you say, but full transparency I just plucked the list off of a site detailing the virtues (since I'm not as versed in them as I am the sins), and I happen to like this particular list more than the more updated one so I'm sticking with it for now. It just feels more directly contrary to me, but that's personal taste, really.
@Fighterman481 Not retroactively added? Sure.
I think remembering Zoan's Barrier being a combined skill of Zoan's Chant and King's Knowledge.
P.S. There is the window for Chastity's Clarity but the previous ones don't say she gained it.
@BecauseIamBatman Apparently I just thought about adding it and my brain decided that that was close enough to adding it that it counted so....
It's been fixed, thanks!
@Fighterman481
Mana: 770/770(+1.2/s)
The reduction of mana is missing.
@BecauseIamBatman In this case, it's actually not. Weighted Training Body affects negative bonus as well as positive ones. I did double check the math just to be sure (just divide the new total by .9 to get the total before subtraction), and to get 770 you'd need to have a mana of 855.5 repeating, which, as you might be able to guess, shouldn't be happening for a 'base' value.
@Fighterman481
Me when people start to throw maths at me:
