《Level Up Lord》Chapter 4: Karl the Small
Advertisement
Ants became Karl's new source of experience points and as Ants were much more abundant than mosquitos, easier to find and to kill, Karl reached level 5 in less than a week. (He managed to kill more than 200 ants!)
Name: Karl
Age: 0 (124 days)
Race: Human
Sexe: male
Job: orphan
Level: 5
EXP: 26.70913/100
HP: 21/21
MP: 1/1
SP: 16/19
Credit: 37 pt
Stats:
Attributable points: 0
Points spent: 10

While leveling up, Karl tried to understand the system better.
The stats before the parentheses were seemingly the actual body condition/stats while the ones in the parentheses were the ones he invested in and boosted. And somehow, the boosts were helping the body to grow and get stronger quicker than it should actually be without such system.
So basically, the stats should still have raised by itself as he gets older and bigger but the points he invested made the process of growth quicker (since his VIT and AGI almost doubled in such short time).
But then even if he had his stats raised, he didn't feel like something changed radically in him unlike in the fantasy novels where even a tiny variation of stats made the protagonists much much stronger and faster immediately (or the opposite in case of debuff).
Of course he felt stronger and more agile than before but then it was like his body was adaptating and getting sturdier gradually and slowly with time to match the stat boosts.
And moreover, Karl didn't know yet in which way and how the stats could influence his own body, nor the interaction between the other aspects such as HP, MP and SP where he couldn't understand the exact correlation with these and with the stat points.
It wasn't exactly like in the rpg games nor in novels, so he had to observe this in a much longer period.

Karl spent the following months to kill ants whenever he went out in the meadow in front of the orphanage.
Elise was always the one looking after him since there was no accidents with Karl who stayed rather calmly except for killing the ants (with a stone as not to dirty his hands too much) but that was just tiny detail.
Anyway, Karl continued to kill the ants as other insects or life forms were too hard to kill or were rare. He stopped killing mosquitos in the night to have the stamina during the day to kill even more ants.
And finally, Karl was a year old (400 days to make a year here by the way).
He stopped babbling and started to make short sentences to talk (He could do much better but he decided not to surprise too much his surrounding. A baby talking like an adult would be weird and suspicious, right?).
He also could walk around by himself on his feets.
He became a bit taller.
Moreover, the stats made him stronger and sturdier than your regular babies on Earth.
Karl began to investigate a bit further than the small meadow next to the orphanage. The river or hills not far from the orphanage were perfect for the small Karl. It wasn't that dangerous and Elise was with him anyway.
He noted what could be found around and what could be hunted or not yet. He also thought about what he could do in the near future.
Now, he was ready for the Bigger and Greater.
