Would you like to explore skill trees?
[Yes] or [No]
Isa was ecstatic upon hearing that she could upgrade herself. She hurriedly opened up the skill tree.
Pick a skill tree you would like to open:
Attack
Parkour
Magic
Stealth
Isa contemplated what to do here. She could open these now and check on what might be available to "upgrade," or she could just keep doing what she was doing. Isa decided that she would deep dive into this system and see what could become of it. Isa opened the Attack skill tree
Attack -> Attack Level 1
That was it? It just upgraded the attack and didn't even show what it did when it upgraded. How disappointing this game is. It was supposed to be so realistic, but it seems like they just created the world and then just video-gamed the rest of the world. Isa decided to look further in to see if she could find an explanation or something of the sort.
Attack -> Attack Level 1
Attack Level 1 is an upgraded version of Attack that opens up a minor skill tree to different forms of attack. When upgrading to Attack Level 1 power attack is automatically given as an upgrade. Would you like to use an attribute point to upgrade Attack to Attack Level 1?
[Yes] or [No]
Isa looked taken aback by this development; this was not what she expected, but it was exactly what she expected simultaneously. The low effort made on the dev's part. Locked skills behind a skill wall. Isa didn't want to use an attribute point on the Attack portion yet. So Isa looked into the other skills available.
Parkour -> Parkour Level 1
Parkour Level 1 is an upgraded version of Parkour that opens up a minor skill tree to different forms of movement. When upgrading to Parkour Level 1 backflip is automatically given as an upgrade. Would you like to use an attribute point to upgrade Parkour to Parkour Level 1?
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
[Yes] or [No]
Isa then looked into Magic to see if it said anything different.
Magic -> Magic Level 1
Magic Level 1 is an upgraded version of Magic that opens up a minor skill tree to different types of magic. When upgrading to Magic Level 1, firebolt is automatically given as an upgrade. Would you like to use an attribute point to upgrade Magic to Magic Level 1?
[Yes] or [No]
Isa finally looked into Stealth
Stealth -> Stealth Level 1
Stealth Level 1 is an upgraded version of Stealth that opens up a minor skill tree to different types of stealth. When upgrading to Stealth Level 1, muffled steps are automatically given as an upgrade. Would you like to use an attribute point to upgrade Stealth to Stealth Level 1?
[Yes] or [No]
Isa looked at all of these and was torn about what to do. Stealth would help her immensely in some circumstances, while magic would be a lot more useful in others. After deliberating for a while, Isa decided to spend an attribute point on Magic and Parkour. First was Magic.
Magic upgraded to Magic Level 1
Magic Level 1 minor skill tree unlocked
Skill Firebolt given…
Skill tree: Icebolt, Lightning Bolt, Chain Bolt, Slow Bolt, Fast Bolt
Skill attribute points available: 4 (2 gained every level up)
Would you like to purchase skills in the Magic Tree?
[Yes] or [No]
Isa decided to keep looking before deciding on anything.
Parkour upgraded to Parkour Level 1
Parkour Level 1 minor skill tree unlocked
Skill Backflip given…
Skill tree: Front flip, Monkey Vault, Cat Leap, Wall Run (vertical), Wall Run (horizontal)
Skill attribute points available: 4 (2 gained every level up)
Would you like to purchase skills in the Parkour tree?
[Yes] or [No]
Isa had no idea what a Monkey Vault or a Cat Leap was. She had to remember to look it up when she logged out. Oh wait, she had access to the internet right now! She typed in Monkey Vault and got a couple of videos on it. It looked extremely useful for cityscapes but not the most useful for this dungeon. Then Isa looked up Cat Leap. Cat Leap was just a vertical wall run with a ledge grab? Well, with the ceilings as high as they were here, that wouldn't help either.
Isa decided to look into what a Fast Bolt, Slow Bolt, and Chain Bolt were before she decided.
Fast Bolt: Accelerates target in momentum direction in that vector.
Slow Bolt: Slows target by 50% movement for 10 seconds
Chain Bolt: Chains previously used, applicable, spell to other enemies.
Isa had decided what she was going to need for this fight. Isa purchased Fast Bolt, Slow Bolt, and Wall Run (vertical). Isa saved the last point.
Without a second thought of how to use these spells, Isa spawned back in.
