Chapter 7: Status Page Review Part 2: Resistances, Masteries, Magic, Skills and Abilities

After checking through his stats Fenrir decided to check out the rest of his status page.

"IDEN…" *Crack*

"Huh. what was that?" He turned to his right to see "Ugghhh. Another pain lizard? Well I may as well use it to see how strong I've gotten." He picked up his cane which was resting against the tree next to him where he had placed it earlier and took up his stance, ready to fight.

The Lizard charged. "Huh. That's weird. Isn't it moving slower than the other one?" He asked confused "Still it is faster than me. I'd better take this seriously." He swung his cane using his full strength hitting it on the head. *Smack* *Ding* "5 damage dealt, 17/22 remaining." "What? That attack did nearly did as much as my critical hit earlier. And this lizard has more health as well. Must be because of my stat increase. Maybe that's why it seemed slower. My perception has gone up as well." Even while he was musing he was still launching his next attack hitting the lizards front left leg aiming to make it fall. *Ding* "4 damage dealt, 13/22 remaining." The lizard didn't fall, endured the hit and swung its tail with all its strength. *Smack* *Ding* "4 damage received, 5/14 HP remaining."

"Oops. I forgot. I have already lost some health but why do I have 5 HP remaining I thought I had 7 after the last fight and since it increased with my class change. I must have recovered. Does that mean I spent over twenty minutes checking just the stats on my status page. No, I spent most of it choosing my class. But that was more damage than I expected, the bite last time did less damage than this hit even though now I have higher damage. This one probably just has more strength."

He took a step back and jabbed his cane knowing that he will do less damage from stepping back but needing space as he was low on HP. *Ding* "2 damage dealt, 11/22 remaining." He quickly swung his cane twice more. *Ding* *Ding* "3 and 4 damage dealt, 4/22 remaining." "I've also gotten faster."

The lizard swiped its tail forcing Fenrir to jump back. He stepped back even further giving himself more space. He tripped on a stone and only just caught himself.

He picked up the stone and was about to through it away out of anger but then thought "Why not use this?" He threw it. *Squish* *Ding* "Critical hit dealt, 50% damage increase. Damage cannot exceed HP, 4 damage dealt, 0/22 remaining. You have defeated a rank-F monster, the pain lizard, 10 exp received." "Oh, so if you are low on HP and receive an attack, no matter how strong the attack after you run out you cannot receive more."

"That was a much easier than last time. I lost way less Hp as well but might have to do with my technique improving too. Anyway let's get back to my stats."
