Chapter 184 New Stat Unlock
'There is no possible way for me to rest here. ' Raydon mumbled, struggling to get off the floor after being completely drained of strength.
After that, when he had gotten back on his feet, he checked the remaining time that was displayed on the system.
''All right, I have some time left. ''
When Raydon checked the time and saw that he had a little more than 10 minutes left, he reached into his dimensional storage and pulled out an item. After that, he began to move, using the blue-grade cane he had pulled from his dimensional storage to steady his unsteady frame.
He exerted all of his willpower to move his body, but he stumbled in a direction that was completely unexpected, not in the direction of the treasure chest made of gold.
Raydon approached the granite soldier's body that he had just killed, put down his cane, and opened his dimensional storage.
''Nghhhhgaarrhhh…''
Then, with an unexplained burst of power, he lifted the body from its resting place and threw it inside his dimensional storage.
Raydon, panting heavily, muttered, 'I have ten minutes to collect my loot,' and picked up his blue-grade cane from the ground, setting off in the direction of the next stone body.

''D-Damn…Huff… Huff… I-I didn't even manage to gather up half of them. '' Raydon grumbled as he made his way up the stairs to the location of the golden chest.
In spite of his previous state of fatigue and exhaustion, he now looked like an elderly man in his final days with the cane in his hand.
Because time was running out, he had to part with the majority of his other valuable loot—the stone soldiers—in order to open this golden chest and claim his reward.
After having a difficult time making it up the stairs, Raydon eventually arrived in front of the golden chest and then opened the lid of the chest with great effort.
'Well, It's not that bad. ' He sighed as he took a look at his much-anticipated reward.
There were three green-grade gold satchels stuffed to the brim with a total of 300,000 gold coins each inside the chest.
''A grand total of 900,000. I guess that means I'm rich now. '' He said with a chuckle, and as soon as he had received the gold satchels, even though there were still a few seconds left for the end of the inheritance, Raydon suddenly found himself back in his dusty room.
All of Raydon's recent stress and exhaustion overcame him the moment he returned to his small, shabby, but safe room, and he promptly collapsed onto the bed on his back.
*Growll*
He, drowsy from lack of sleep, closed his eyes, only to snap them open again at the sound of a rumbling in his stomach.
"Damn it, I just can't go to sleep until I check my title panel."
Raydon compelled himself to get out of bed, and once he did, he opened the door to his dimensional storage, took a few pieces of meat out of it, and then began to eat it.
'I will soon be out of meat.' When he noticed that his supply of meat was beginning to run low, he muttered under his breath.
''Anyway, I'll deal with this problem later. '' Raydon continued to eat his meat as he spoke and checked the information on his title panel.

When Raydon accessed his title panel, a large amount of text popped up in front of him.
''So, this is how it works. '' His voice broke into an excited murmur as he checked the information.
It bothered him a little that the new stat to be unlocked was chosen at random, but he didn't give it much thought. In fact, he experienced a different kind of excitement due to the fact that the new stat point he will receive is entirely random.
''Looks like I'll have to hold off on leveling up a little longer. ''
Raydon considered his accumulated experience points and deliberated after realizing he had to choose between the two options.
[Experience]: 1,036,252/ 1,000,000
''Nevertheless, I do not believe that being level 2 is more important than upgrading my title. '' He heaved a sigh and continued.
''Yes.''
He didn't notice any changes in himself after he accepted the offer to unlock the new stat; however, he did notice that the texts in the title panel had suddenly changed.
''Well, this is definitely unexpected. '' Raydon looked at the new information on the title panel and chuckled when he saw the newly unlocked stat.
<Spirit>
[+1 / Cost: 7 XP]
''I genuinely believed that agility or charisma would be my next stat. '' He would have preferred these two stats instead of the spirit stat, but he realized that the spirit stat would be more fun and decided to stop worrying about it.
"But why is the cost so high? It only requested 1 experience point when I received the first stat for stamina. '' Raydon pondered when he saw the number of experience points required to increase one stat point.
"It appears that improving my spirit stat will cost me more experience points. Anyway, this was to be expected,'' He remarked, and with the last of his experience points, he chose to increase his spirit stat.
His sole concern at the moment was whether or not this stat, like stamina, would grant a sub-skill after every 10-point increase.
