After Brianna had left the room I quickly checked my status. The artist formerly known as Snarf, aka the Draft, was unexpectedly worth quite a lot of XP. It also probably helped that I have "x2 XP" now as well.

"Allocate active skill points."

<Choose a skill to allocate points>

<Reanimate Level: 1>

<Summon Skeleton Level: 0>

<Drain Life Level: 1>

<Blood Needles Level: 0>

<Create Water Level: 0>

It looks like Nomad skills are geared toward survival. Not only did I get the "Increased Endurance" passive, but a new active skill is "Create Water". The problem was that I did not want "Nomad" to be a permanent "2nd Job". It was just a filler until I got something better. I had checked earlier and didn't have any new job options, I wonder what I have to do to get more jobs?

I ended up putting a point into "Reanimate" and "Blood Needles". The zombies were my main force right now, and I was hoping that adding more points to it would buff them. As for "Blood Needles", I was hoping it was a longer range skill. This lean system interface... VERY lean.... this malnourished system interface told me pretty much nothing about the skills or jobs. I have to infer everything.

There is a bonus skill I saw earlier that I desperately want, "Expanded Interface". I'm hoping it isn't a trap and actually gives me more information about all my stats. Unfortunately it costs 15 "OP Points". This shitty system...it is giving me blue balls. I can look but not touch.

Anyways, the fight with the Draft made it very clear to me that I want a range offensive skill. I'd rather not get that close again if possible. Since I have not found a way to redistribute skill point allocation, I was betting everything on "Blood Needles" being ranged from at least 6 meters.

After I finished up with allocating my points, I did a quick search for my zombies. I could always feel their presence and general direction. Huh... there only seems to be one left now. Did the bandit zombie finally expire?

I had recovered a fair bit since Brianna left and was able to move on my own again. I got up and headed toward the window and looked at the moon in the sky. If I was to ballpark when I started to now...about half a day? Will they last longer now that I leveled up "Reanimate"? So many questions...

"Ah I'm glad to see you are up. I have news for you."

It seems Brianna had come back into the room without me even noticing...was I dealing with my stats for that long?
