You have leveled up.Remaining exp 3.
5 free stat points remaining
Remaining exp 3...Guess that's why Al's experience bar never grew, it seems like exp here is like a curency.And those stat points...
"Holy fuck! If i put all of them into INT i'll increase mana bolt's damage by over 2 points!"
That ladies and gentlemen is the happiness of a man who spent close to an hour trying to kill 7 goblins.
"Sta-"
He won't do it this time, he won't be stupid to try to open his status window without climbing in a tree. 2 minutes later and a climbing(passive) skill gained he finally does something that he wanted to do from the start.

Seeing that Mana bolt and Mana manipulation still haven't leveled up is something Al didn't expect but he takes the news like any other gamer would.He curses the way the game works a bit then tries to solve the problem.After some failed talks with the game's supervisor Ai, Al does something that he wouldn't have ever expected to work:
"Level up Mana Bolt"
Not enough experience points (47) more needed
Well that's easy were his first thoughts but after the information settled in he couldn't help but let out a sigh. The difficulty of this game isn't normal, they spawn you in the middle of nowhere with no items only to get swarmed by mobs. And every skill level up is like another character level up? That's insane.Such were the thoughts that clouded Al's mind.
But he couldn't let it get to him,it's not like he is the only one playing with these rules.Giving himself a mental slap he wakes up to reality and starts thinking about what to do.After grinding his gear a few minutes he decides that there isn't anything he can do until he collects more information about the game so he decides to just go and farm some more.After walking for a bit he sees a goblin in the distance.Even though he fought a decent number of the this is the first time he saw a goblin using a proper weapon, an iron knife.Earning the passive skill ,Stealth, that muffles stepping sound the slower you move Al approaches the mob.At around 10 meters he can finally see his name.
Goblin outlaw (Rare) 52/52
Now that is going to be interesting , 52 hp.Al quickly checks his skills to see that mana bolt does 8.2 base damage now so he could expect around 6 damage on the goblin. Climbing into a tree without the outlaw noticing that would be impossible so that ideea is out.Fighting it head on would also be suicide with his 12 measly points in hp.So he had no choice but to leave right?,unless... he could kite him.One of the things Al observed about the combat here is that you could place debuffs on your opponents depending where you strike that.
"Ah,fuck it"
Without trying to think about it again he starts creating a mana bolt.He aims it at the goblins legs and with an amazing display of plot ar-*Cough* control and precision the bolt hits both knees, the second one even being a crit.
-5 -13(critical)
34/52
It even applied a 20% slow debuff.Standing up the goblin rushes to Al but before he can get to him he gets hit by another 2 bolts, dealing 5 and 7 damage each.By the time he got in attacking range Al was backed up against a tree just finishing casting the fourth bolt.The goblin used a skill that Al clumsly dodged by rolling over getting himself only a scracth that dealt 4 damage.On the ground he finishes the bolt and hits the goblin in the critical-hit knee for 6 damage making him lose his balance.Taking advantage of the situation Al sweeps his right leg on the floor making the goblin fall and with the help of plot arm-*Cough cough* a rock renders the goblin unconscious.The fight was an easy win after.
