Minutes later, after what felt like a lifetime of hard work, his entire body covered in sweat, his vision slightly darkened and dizzy, Alan finally struck the Straw Dummy one last time.

As soon as the array of notifications and status panels were heard and appeared before him, Alan instantly felt a change go through his entire body. The Tiredness that he had been feeling from the physical activity was instantly removed, it was as if his body was once more back at maximum restfulness, as if he had just woken up from a great night of sleep, even the small back pains that he had from sleeping with his clothes on the previous night were removed instantaniously whilst at the same time, he suddenly felt his sight improve once more aswell as his strength.
It was a noticeable change.

Looking at his stats, he instantly realised why, the system had told him that his stats had awakened when he had level up.
'So this is what it meant… I gain normal status points each time that I level up, I can also gain these points simply by doing something with that Stat, for example learning from books for intelligence or talking with people for Charisma, when a stat reaches the maximum amount of normal status points, it can be awakened by leveling up once more. Thankfully… It seems that the way to awaken the Special stats is easier than I thought.' Alan thought to himself with a sigh of relief as he sat back down onto the grass.
The second Straw Dummy had taken a lot longer to defeat than the first one, he had already been tired from the first one and the second one had taken an even larger toll on his body, His endurance stat was alright, above average even however his strength stat had been at an abysmal two, it had taken all his concentration and strength gathered to swing hard enough that he could actually do the full three points of damage to the Straw Dummy.
Gathering his breath for a few moments, Alan got up once more and headed towards a different Straw Dummy that was closeby, the one he had defeated had already vanished and turned into small motes of light that had quickly disappeared.
Holding the small rusted bread knife in his hand tightly, Alan quickly raised it above his head and used his entire body as he swung down. Afterwards, he quickly used his 'Observe Skill' onto the target.
[ Straw Dummy ] [ Level 0 ]
[ Health Points: 96/100 ]
'Four… I increased my base damage by one, It's not a lot, but It's also pretty damn good, if we take it that a single point increase in Special strength stat increased it by one, does that mean that each point in there would increase it by one and that with ten points in special, I'd do 11 damage? No, then the normal stat points wouldnt be worth anything, And I just reached three points in special, and its normal points in it are completely zero at the moment… what would be a good investment at this point for my normal stats?' Alan thought to himself as he tried to form a plan on how to spent the points that he had gained.
'Clearly, I shouldn't Invest much points into my physical stat points at the moment, I can likely gain them if I simply train my body and start eating better food, something that I can do by simply grinding this dungeon for exp aswell as money that I can use for that nutritional bar, I'll have to check just exactly what that is but if it gives me everything I need, protein wise and everything else… then I should start using this to increase my normal strength stat. If i take it like that then what would be the hardest stat for me to raise currently?' Alan thought as he lifted his hand and gripped his own chin in thought before sitting down right before the Straw dummy and placing the rusted bread knife onto the ground.
'Strength, Endurance and Agility are out for now, my body isnt that well developed and thus I'm guessing those will see the quickest progress out of the bunch. Then that leaves me with Charisma, Perception and Luck.' Alan thought as his mind went back to his three last stats.
At that moment however, he quickly realised something that he had ignored in his haste.
'The cullens… are a thing, and at the moment, my Luck stat aswell as Intelligence are fine, my biggest weakness is my strength and perception, Luck would take a large amount of Points and levels to even get to max, if i gain twenty points for each level than it would take me atleast twenty five levels to max it whilst it would take me less than ten levels to reach the max in strength and upgrade it. And right now, I need to grow as strong as fast as possible whilst at the same time upgrading my strength more quickly would mean that my exp generation woulds similarly increase. Perception is fine for now but will have to be improved right after Strength reaches atleast a baseline of five.' Alan thought before nodding to himself, as he opened the status menu and dumbed all twenty normal stat points into the Strength Stat.
