Whoa!

Blair looked over the next three books, Yin and yang, Self defense, and Rules of Momentum. She let out a breath and gently smacked her cheeks. "It will be okay, you got this." She said to psych herself up. She closed her eyes and reached out at random, her eyes opened to see a notification.

Rules of Momentum: When learned will grain the following skill.

(Passive) Continuity rank 1

A combo of attacks or moves, will increase dodge chance by 5%, stacks 3 times.

Stacks are lost after 3 seconds of inactivity.

Requires 20 Agility and 10 Endurance.

Accept or Decline?

She accepted and a flow of information filled her mind. Fuck, this was more informative, but so much more intense than reading. She began to think on what might help take the edge off, realizing then she forgot to do something. She had skill points yet to spend. She opened her character sheet and shook her head. Her Intellect was lower than her Wisdom, hmm, perhaps this was making it harder on her mind? Intellect was responsible for the ability to absorb information after all, Wisdom on the other hand allowed that information to be used. This made sense, she added 5 points to her Intellect, bringing it to 25 and put the other 5 into Strength, raising it to 20. A new exclamation flashed, allowing it to pop up.

Achievement Unlocked!

25 Intellect has not only expanded your mind, but power!

Intellect Modifier for Mp has been improved to x 6.

+ 1% Mp regen per minute

Another exclamation flashed which she allowed to pop up.

Achievement Unlocked!

Reaching 25 in both Intellect and Wisdom has expanded your magical power!

Increasing spell damage by 5%

Oo, a nice side perk! She was starting to get excited. Ah, right, back to my books. She went for the Self defense book next, a notification appeared.

The Art of Self Defense: When learned will grain the following skill.

(Passive) Self Defense rank 1

Taking or avoiding damage increases deflection chance by 5% per stack up to 2 stacks.

A successful deflection reduces damage received by 50% and removes stacks.

Requires 20 Agility and 20 Strength.

Accept or Decline?

Looks like raising Strength was the right thing to do. She accepted and felt the flow of information entering her mind, it was a bit more intense, but didn't last as long. Blair reached for that last book, but heard her phone's text jingle. She looked at the time, absorbing the information from these books was taking longer than she realized, it was already 6:45 p.m. This text was from Nora, Blair couldn't help, but smile after reading it. "Hey Blair, mind if I come over for lunch? I want to see you. If you are hungry I can bring over some food too." Blair heard her stomach growl, food would be nice. She replied. "Sure, I would love to see you, and food sounds good." Within a minute Nora replied. "On my way, I look forward to seeing you. I should be there in 20 minutes." She thought a moment, judging by how much time has passed it takes about 5 minutes to absorb one book, with that in mind she should have plenty of time to absorb the last book before Nora arrives. She quickly replied to Nora. "See you soon, Nora." She put down her phone and quickly touched the last book, a notification appearing before her.

The Truth of Yin and Yang: When learned will grain the following skill.

Yin and Yang lvl 1 - Toggled

Cost: 20 Mp per hit.

Adds 1 yd range to melee strikes, strikes are unblockable and ignore armor, but reduce damage dealt by 5% per strike.

Upon reaching 10 stacks target will be marked with a Yin and Yang symbol. Marked targets take 10% increased damage for 10 seconds, but are immune to Yin and Yang strikes for the duration.

Toggling off Yin and Yang removes reduction of damage dealt, doing so at 10 stacks adds a 20 second cooldown.

Requires 20 Agility, 20 Strength, and 25 Intellect.

Accept or Decline?

This is an interesting ability, it could even bring up her damage against the right target, and even more so after they are marked. 10 seconds of increased damage after 10 hits, but with 10 seconds of not being able to reapply it. The cost was pretty high too. Adding 3 feet to her short melee range was pretty sweet though. She accepted and her eyes went wide as a cold shiver went down her spine, the information expanding her mind and senses. Her body was all tingly once she came back to her senses, having felt the depths of space within that moment as if reality bent around her. "Fuck, that was intense." She heard a knock at her door. Shit, had it been 20 minutes already? She looked at her phone, 15 minutes had passed, but nevertheless someone was here. She stood up and brushed herself off. Time for a little break, she thought looking toward the door.
