The Over-Break System

-Reminder, in naming your pets, there is a cost, part of your stats and MP will be drained and burned as these will become the TRUE names of the creatures you share a contract with.-

Sighing aloud, Cynrik smiled bitterly at the fact there was a cost to naming his pets but still felt it was alright, so long as it didn’t drain too much from him.

‘How bad are we talking here, Tobs? What are my losses going to look like?’ Although not really concerned, especially since he had recently had quite the windfall with new stat points, Cynrik still felt the need to ask.

-Naming your Pets will require the loss of 4500 MP each and a permanent loss of 1% of your stats corresponding to their Distributions.-

-The MP loss will not be permanent and is used as a proxy for the Transfer of Stat points; however, the Stat points will be integrated into your new Pets, giving them a minute stat boost.-

‘So, Vii would be getting 7 STR, 9 AGI, and 8 INT, while Sie gets 9 AGI, 8 INT, and 7 VIT?’ While he asked, Cynrik pulled up his Stat profile and ran the numbers quickly before checking how many available Free allocation stat points he had remaining.

-That is correct, for a total of 48 points from your STR, AGI, INT, and VIT. You are lucky you are naming them now because to name a creature of a higher Tier, the cost consumption increases dramatically. For example, if you were to try giving a true name to a Tier-1, the cost is 10% of your Stats, increasing by 10% per Tier.-

-That is to say; however, you don’t die in the process of attempting to give a True Name to a being Way over your Tier and Level.-

‘Go ahead and do it,’ Knowing the losses could be recouped even though he was short by 6 Free Allocation points, Cynrik went ahead and pressed the confirmation button and felt a sharp pain in his chest as 9k MP drained from his body in an instant along with the stat points.

To mitigate this issue, he quickly pumped his AGI, INT, and VIT back up, neglecting his STR, which fell to 703, but even if it was an odd number since it was his STR stat, which he rarely used, Cynrik didn’t feel it was much of a loss.

‘Might as well edit their stats while they are asleep,’ Noticing that the two chicks sleeping peacefully in his arms didn’t wake up after the naming and addition of stats, Cynrik figured now was as good of a time as any to use their 25 points.

First up was little Sielu.

Nodding contently, Cynrik adjusted her stats while keeping her three Distribution stats significantly higher than the other three, giving her a 5:1 ratio.

Although unsure if this build would work for her in the long run, Cynrik decided to start her off with this build until her personality shined through, and he got to know the little chick.

With Sie’s stats complete, Cynrik moved onto Vii and replicated the same build, with the only difference being instead of increasing Vii’s VIT stat, Cynrik increased the STR stat instead.

The entire process only took him a couple of minutes, but when he was done and submitted the new stat distribution, the chick’s feathers began glowing softly.

Acknowledging the glow as an indication of growth, and while examining their new Stat profiles, Cynrik sent both chicks into his [Mark of the Tamer] using the [Summon/Unsummon Pet] skill.

The two sleeping birds were covered in an intricate red spell formation and turned into a beam of light before disappearing and causing a warm feeling to emanate from his chest.

-You have drawn both of your Pets (Viisaus and Sielu) into your [Mark of the Tamer].-

– Since your skill [Mark of the Tamer] has a low proficiency, you will lose 0.5% of your Total Mana every minute they are housed. This will continue as long as both of your pets are stored within your Mark.-

Exhaling with his body shivering slightly, Cynrik felt somewhat weak and chugged down a few Mana potions bringing himself back up to total capacity, and saw that every minute he lost around 129  points of MP. However, due to his high Regeneration rate, he could make most of it back up, so it was manageable.

Standing up and looking at the mess his bedroom had become, Cynrik sighed ruefully, tapped a few buttons on his Watcet to end the live stream, and set about cleaning the mess left behind by the Mana bursts caused by his chicks hatching.

—

In the living room, only Selene was still watching by the time the stream cut off since Cynrik had basically been standing in place holding the sleeping birds in silence for nearly 20 minutes.

Benny had already gone to bed, and Gabby was sleeping with her head on Brance’s lap while he read the memoir he received from the Obelisk.

Realizing she was the only one sitting idle, Selene quickly started finishing up with her SubClass, and it didn’t take her more than an hour to choose her LeatherWorking Class and then level it up to Cap.

Once finished, Selene said good night to Brance, who only grunted in response and went to join Cynrik in cleaning his room before bed.

Brance was fully engrossed in the compelling story he was reading, and since the book was dubbed as necessary by Yennifer, it deserved his undivided attention.

And oh man, was she right; the longer Brance read “The Life and Trials of a Nephilim,” the more he felt the story was eerily similar to his life and experiences so far on Vinestra.

The story was told from the first-person point of view and was about a Man who had been reincarnated after a great war onto a medieval planet resembling early England back on Earth. Where castles, kings, and magical beasts roamed the land.

And the Man who called himself “Ath” was the LC for the God of Light. After living for ten years on this new planet, he began hearing an ominous voice in his head that continuously berated him for every choice and decision he made. This voice that Ath named “LM” thoroughly criticized everything from the food he ate to the company he kept, yet Ath refused to acknowledge its presence until it began taking over his body as he slept.

Ath wrote about waking up miles away from where he went to sleep covered in blood with corpses of either beasts or men strewn around him.

As someone who considered himself a good person, these events horrified him to no end. Often he would find himself surrounded by the corpses of the innocent, like children or the elderly.

Yet, whenever LM would speak and harass Ath, he would never respond, ignoring the provocations and continuing his daily life of training or completing adventurers’ missions.

That is, until one fateful day, when Ath awoke from his slumber and the love of his life was lifeless beside him, covered in blood and residual Mana from his own attacks.

In his rage, Ath snapped and confronted LM, being drawn into his SOC, where a battle of epic proportions unfolded.

At the time, Ath was already at Tier-4, and LM’s spirit fragment was at Tier-6.

For two weeks, Ath and LM fought, neither gaining the advantage over the other, yet both received so much damage that either one could drop dead at a moment’s notice. But with such high stakes on the line, neither gave in until finally, Ath came out the victor; however, it was still too late.

He had lost everything because of his ignorance in ignoring the problem with LM until it was too late. His Friends and Family had abandoned him since he was wild and could attack the instant he fell asleep as if possessed.

The final straw was the death of his Beloved; alone and spiraling in depression, Ath moved forward with his disposition and personality completely warped into a shell of a man.

When his alignment shifted to Chaotic Evil, he fell from his position as ArchPaladin and became the first, DreadPaladin and Fallen Nephilim.

For hundreds of years, Ath wandered the lands, slaughtering the masses, all in an attempt to feel anything at all.

Often, heroes would confront him only to be slaughtered and massacred one after another until he finally earned the title of Demon Lord, but none of this mattered to Ath.

One day, the world seemed to be torn asunder; as the final battle for the planet he had been born on began, the Legacy Strife was in full swing, and it was during this battle that he came toe to toe with his greatest foe…his brother.

His older brother was also a Legacy Charge, but for a different deity. For years, he tried saving and helping Ath, but at every turn, he faced resistance, if not from Ath himself, then from the Deities, who demanded abandoning the lost and mentally unstable Ath.

Still, for years, Ath’s brother stayed by his side until they had a falling out that saw Ath hacking off his brother’s left arm and permanently destroying any hope of regrowth by using his Affinity to ruin the limb entirely.

This was the defining moment for Ath’s brother, as he finally realized there was no saving or helping his brother, so he left, only to confront him hundreds of years later during the Legacy Strifes’ conclusion.

During their Battle, Ath constantly spoke down on and taunted his older brother, eventually getting the better of him and forcing him into a position where he would either need to sacrifice his only arm or die. His older brother did just that, except this was where the battle took a turn.

To Ath’s surprise, his older brother had become a master Magician. He created two new Mana Construct arms, mercilessly beating him into submission, mangling Ath’s body, and shattering his mind once again.

However, before his brother could strike the final blow, he collapsed on top of Ath, with tears in his eyes, begging Ath to return to himself.
