Progress

Before Baranor could answer the prompt in front of him, he heard a knock at the door realizing who it was he gave a quick response and told them to come inside. When Faramir entered he brought a older looking uruk, who, despite his age was still toned as is other's of their species. The uruk in question quickly kneeled in front of the human sitting before him although it hurt his pride, he would rather be alive than to go against this human who gave off a cold aura, although only for now is what he thought.

"My liege, I have brought our priest." Faramir said as he joined the priest in kneeling

"Very, good Faramir, Now, priest, what is it they call you?" Baranor asked

"They call me Ashnor, my liege" Ashnor replied

"And I'm guessing your a mage with the ability to check people status correct?" Baranor asked

"That is correct my liege." Ashnor replied

"Hmm, vey nice, however I also know priest can put curses on their targets, so how can I trust you don't harbor ill intentions towards me?" Baranor asked

"My liege, if you would prefer we can enter a mana bound contract to ensure I can do you no harm." Ashnor said

"We could, but as you should know contracts have many loop holes that can be exploited, in fact I have a for sure way without needing a contract" Baranor said

"My lieg-"

Before Ashnor could continue Baranor stood from his seat and quickly dashed in front of Ashnor and started to dominate his mind. Surprisingly Ashnor was rather resilient much like Faramir, however it mattered not as Ashnor still fell to Baranor's will. Baranor satisfied with his new addition returned to his seat and continued with the matter at hand.

"Now priest, I shall give you the liberty of keeping your name, Ashnor" Baranor said

"Thank, you, my liege!" Ashnor said

"Now, carrying on! I need to see my current status, do you happen to have any paper or parchment around here we can use?" Baranor asked

"Yes my liege, just a moment" Ashnor replied as he got up and grabbed some paper from his tent

"Here, we go! Now will you start the process of checking my status?" Baranor asked

"Right away my liege!" Ashnor replied

Baranor quickly gave the priest his hand and the priest pulled out a small dagger and pricked the tip of his thumb and let the blood flow onto the parchment. Once the blood made contact to the parchment the priest started to chant and words started to burn onto the of parchment. The ritual concluded when the priest looked at Baranor and gave a reassuring nod. When Baranor looked at the parchment he was rather surprised and pleased to see how much he improved.

 Baranor looked on with glee and with confusion, but he instinctively knew it had something to do with the ring now resting on his finger. Almost as if answering his question nearly an exact replica of the status he saw on the parchment reappeared in front of him but with the unknown symbols having their details undeciphered. Baranor wasn't too confused except with the fact a certain skill was still being blocked and he couldn't really tell what the name of it was. Baranor although reluctantly decided to just ignore the text he couldn't read and decided to focus on the one he could. Skill points, when Baranor saw this he was rather confused but he somewhat guessed what they were and he was internally jumping with glee.

'How could something posibly increase the levels of skills when it takes hours and maybe even years to earn or improve a certain skill' Baranor thought to himself

While thinking about his current stats, Baranor thought to his near past experiences realizing he was lacking in just about everything except for his skills. Looking at the difference between himself and the other physical capabilities of the uruk's he realized without the ring he wouldn't be able to even compete with the uruk's and even if he did have the ring he knew he would still lose compared to those of the 4th tier and even those from the 3 tier ranked from mid-high. Withouht thinking about it any further Baranor deiced to put 15 points into his strength 10 into his constitution and 6 into his dexterity and the remaining one into his spirt. Once he did this he felt a surge of power entering his muscles and felt his manasphere expanding slightly. 

Baranor although contempt with his progress knew sooner or later he would start feeling the effects of not passing into the 3rd tier of his manasphere, including his bodily functions failing due to a overload of stats and his body having impurities that would only increase and decrease the potential of his stats. A overload of stats could also slowly kill him by accumulating the impurities in his body and his body not being strong enough to not collapse under his own strength like his own legs shattering when he puts too much force into them. As his strength may increase to the point his body can't handle it especially with the effects of the ring, if he were to pass into the 3rd tier his body would be cleansed of impurities to a point and would increase the quality and quantity of his mana and his body. Another sign of hitting the limits of a normal being and a step into becoming a being a step above the rest is the ability to go above the level of 25 as 25 is the current limit to those who are known as normal beings such as humans, orcs and other such creatures.

This limit is not set for every being as some beings are already born at a much higher tier like dragons and in a lesser form elves. Those who are born of a higher tier will naturally have a head start in strength, however it is also exponentially harder to increase their level past a certain limit which is also why most natural born races of a higher tier often have longer life spans than those who aren't born of a higher tier. Yet a being who is born of a lower tier and work their way up to a higher tier is leaps and bounds stronger than someone who was already born at that level, as someone born at a higher tier has not experienced the struggle of climbing to that point such as leveling and obtaining skills along with the knowledge obtained.

Baranor thinking of what to put his 8 skill points in, finally decided after somewhile of thinking, he tried to upgrade his swordsmanship with a skill point but was interrupted by a prompt saying he could evolve it by using 5 skill points. Reluctantly accepting it he was given a list of options

-Due to external interference a 4th option will be added

---------------------------------------

Baranor looked at his options excitedly and just as confused as before not seeing any other answer he choose which the one that would help him in current situation.

'I'll chose this one...
