READ NOVEL FREE Chapter : System stats:
1. Vital Stats
These stats represent the core attributes of every character, directly influencing their overall health, magic, stamina, and endurance during combat and daily life.
Health (HP):
Represents the total life force of the individual. As characters take damage or use powerful abilities, their HP decreases. This can be replenished through rest, healing magic, or other recovery methods.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Certain abilities, especially those linked to dark powers, may drain HP at an accelerated rate or make it harder to heal properly.
Mana (MP):
Indicates the character's magical energy. Mana is used to cast spells and activate special abilities. It regenerates slowly over time, but can be accelerated with items, potions, or special techniques.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Corruption may destabilize the mana pool, either amplifying power temporarily or causing wild fluctuations that make it harder to control.
Stamina (SP):
Determines the physical endurance of the character. It dictates how long the character can engage in combat, perform strenuous activities, or use certain physical abilities before fatigue sets in.
2. Combat Stats
Combat stats govern how well characters perform in battle, both physically and magically. These stats are heavily influenced by training, bloodline, and acquired abilities.
Strength (STR):
Determines the raw physical power a character possesses. It affects physical attacks, the ability to wield heavy weapons, break through obstacles, and overall muscle mass.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Increases strength under certain conditions when harnessing Abyssal energy, but it may cause muscle degradation and madness if pushed too far.
Agility (AGI):
Refers to the character's reflexes, speed, and nimbleness. High agility allows for faster movement, quicker reaction times, and better evasion of attacks.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Corruption can either accelerate agility or decrease control. Increased shadow manipulation may enhance speed but make it harder to focus on precise movements.
Intelligence (INT):
Measures the character's mental faculties, including magical understanding, problem-solving, and strategy. Intelligence is crucial for spellcasting, tactics, and learning new abilities.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Corruption may cloud the mind, causing erratic thoughts and memory loss, making it difficult to control magic or think clearly.
Endurance (END):
Represents the ability to endure pain, resist damage, and continue fighting even after suffering injuries. This stat is crucial for tank-like characters or those who rely on physical resistance.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Endurance increases with corruption, allowing the character to absorb more damage, but at the cost of long-term health and eventual breakdown of the body.
3. Special Stats
Special stats reflect a character's unique abilities, their relationship with the forces around them (especially corruption), and their progression within the world.
Abyssal Affinity (AA):
This stat measures the character's connection to the Abyss and how deeply they've been affected by it. Higher affinity allows for the use of more powerful Abyssal abilities but also increases the risk of corruption.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: A high Abyssal Affinity enables the character to harness Abyssal powers more effectively, but at the cost of their willpower and sense of self. They risk losing their humanity.
Bloodline Potential (BP):
Represents the character's latent potential tied to their bloodline. It determines how much power they can draw from their ancestral abilities, and how far they can unlock deeper, more dangerous powers within their lineage.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: The more the character explores their bloodline, the stronger they become. But this could awaken darker, more unstable abilities linked to their family's cursed past.
Corruption Level (CL):
Tracks the accumulation of corruption from the Abyss. This stat reflects how much of the Abyssal influence has corrupted the character's mind, body, and soul.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: If this level reaches its max, the character risks becoming a fully corrupted Abyssal being or losing their sense of identity, causing them to succumb to madness or transformation.
4. Weapon Stats
Weapon stats define the power, effectiveness, and the impact of weapons used by characters. This also includes enhancements and potential upgrades from special abilities or items.
Weapon Attack Power (WAP):
The damage output of the weapon used by the character. This stat is influenced by the weapon's type, grade, and any special abilities it may have.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Weapons tied to Abyssal energies might gain increased power, but they become increasingly unstable and difficult to control.
Weapon Affinity:
Shows the bond between the character and their weapon. High affinity allows the character to unleash special weapon abilities and improves their overall combat performance.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Abyssal weapons may gain unnatural affinity with their user, enabling them to manifest dark, destructive powers but leading to potential backlash.
5. Combat Mastery Stats
These stats reflect how proficient a character is in combat and how advanced their battle strategies are, particularly in the use of special abilities, combat stances, and techniques.
Ex: Swordsmanship (SWS):
Measures a character's skill with swords and bladed weapons, allowing for increased attack speed, precision, and the use of advanced techniques.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Corruption can grant enhanced speed and brutal strikes but at the risk of losing control and harming allies.
Ex: Magical Mastery (MM):
Represents the character's ability to manipulate and control magic, especially in their affinity with dark, elemental, or forbidden magic.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Magical Mastery increases with Abyssal influence, enabling stronger spells at the cost of potential instability and uncontrollable outbursts.
6. Growth and Progression Stats
These stats reflect the character's journey, growth, and how far they've come in their development.
Experience (EXP):
A measure of the character's progress. Experience is gained through combat, completing quests, discovering secrets, and facing challenges.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Experience can be gained faster through corrupt actions, but this accelerates the character's descent into darkness.
Rank(Rank):
This stat tracks the character's current rank, and how many levels they have ascended since awakening. It determines access to new skills and abilities.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Levels can be gained faster when corruption is embraced, but the character risks accelerating their loss of self-control.
7. Mental and Spiritual Stats
Mental Fortitude (MF):
Determines the character's ability to withstand psychological pressures, illusions, and manipulations. It's vital for resisting the Abyss's mental corruption.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: Corruption directly affects mental fortitude, causing hallucinations, emotional instability, and loss of self-control.
Spiritual Resonance (SR):
Measures the connection between the character's spirit and their innate abilities. Affects their connection to higher powers, bloodline resonance, and control over spiritual abilities.
Abyssal Corruption Impact: A higher SR stat can grant greater resistance to corruption, but once surpassed, it can also open the floodgates to uncontrollable Abyssal powers.
These system stats provide a comprehensive way of tracking the progress and risks associated with each character in the novel, especially Kael as he struggles with his Abyssal bloodline and its dangers. It balances his growth with the ever-present threat of corruption, allowing for rich development throughout the narrative.
