After changing jobs and finding out the physical changes that the Skills awakening and the Job change's new Skills brought to me, I decided to check my progress in the simplest of ways, by seeing my Status Panel.
…

…
My stats skyrocketed once more…
I mean, I know I am getting overpowered quite fast, but these numbers are ridiculous.
k Vitality, 40k Mana, 8k Strength, 18k Magic, and 6k Dexterity. I suppose it is indeed as clear as water that my specialization is magic.
Well, Mana seems to be used as the fuel for literally every Skill and Magic… So I suppose the more Mana you got the stronger you are. There isn't any stupid specialization in real life, even with all these game-like elements, the best way would be to simply have as much fuel as possible to use as many Skills and Spells as possible… Hence, having a crap ton of Mana is essential! After turning into High Dhampir, my Stat Growths increased quite a lot too, 700 Strength per level means I can begin cracking mountains soon.
Also, by merely changing Jobs, I already reached Peak B-Rank Existence Rank, meaning that if I level a bit more, I will easily get to A-Rank without many complications, how convenient!
As I checked my Stat Panel, I decided to conjure Phantom Flare, which easily came out of my hands through the assistance of many bug-shaped phantoms from the monsters we slaughtered around.
Phantasmal Development seems to have given me the ability to somehow convince these guys I just killed to help me conjure this Skill, which is strange on many levels, but I have decided to not care for the time being.
After testing this, I checked the awakened Skills, and they all had enhanced their original capabilities. Holy Light Beam has become Double Holy Light Beam, which let some conjure two beams at once, two is more than one, so it is an obvious upgrade.
Continuous Mana Bullet Blast became Consecutive Explosive Mana Bullets, and I can now create up to 20 Mana Bullets at the same time, albeit they are smaller than previously, but when they hit an enemy they explode even louder and are obviously even stronger, so it is like having a shotgun but with magic. No, I think this is even stronger than a shotgun, that's for sure.
Aside from these notable changes, there are the Blazing Wind Jewels which became Phantom Blazing Dark Winds Jewel, instead of the fire being normal, they produce blue phantom flames charged with dark winds, which are a deadly combination. By making bombs with these guys an explosion of fire and dark winds comes forth, which could easily take down a large army of monsters.
And they can also be used as materials, so I also gave a pile to Anna before she finished upgrading the equipment.
The Dhampir Skill evolved into the High Dhampir Skill, and it gave me a greater stat growth and more stats too while giving me a new ability within it named [Blood Manipulation] which lets me manipulate my own blood a little bit, such as what Kireina does with her own blood, shaping them as crystalized blood blades and spears… But this ultimately drains your Vitality, so I am better off using other methods of fighting, which I have many at this point.
As I was checking things out and considering going into the EXP Dungeon as quickly as possible, Anna came rushing towards me bringing me the new equipment, I had also sensed she was done as the Gold decreased by a whopping 60000 and I also lost around 12000 Hero Feathers… This means that as equipment upgrades, it becomes costlier and costlier to upgrade to higher Grades.
"Here it is, Master, phew, it took some time," said Anna, as she cleaned the sweat from her forehead. Her entire muscular and chocolate-skinned body was glossy with her steamy sweat, after working so hard to enhance my equipment, it is natural to sweat like this.
Well, maybe if she wore something more modest it wouldn't be so obvious that her body is sweating all over the place, but she literally wears a bikini made of leather, which is her tribe's woman clothes. The Squirrel-kin live in a hot forest, after all, so they often wear loose clothes.
Her large squirrel tail was waving around cutely as her squirrel ears twitched as she smiled back at me.
"…M-Master?" she asked, as she caught me glaring at her body with intensity. magic
"Oh. Thanks a lot, Anna," I said, as I picked up the equipment she gave me, which was quite amazing-looking.
This System is not as intricate with equipment as I would like it to, so you can only equip three things, a weapon, a general outfit that pretty much includes all your clothes, and then a single accessory. Anything that is outside of this won't give you stats.
The newly upgraded equipment that Anna brought to me was enhanced by using the multiple exoskeletons of scarlet colors left by the cricket army, she used from the little red ones to the generals and then the Boss itself. She also used the newly awakened jewels I can create, a pile of more of Vudia's Gold, and her effort.
And I couldn't wait to equip these equipment items, as their stats were amazing…
