===========
I examined my attribute points while waiting for Dang Bak to wake up. I noticed that some of my stats were increasing on their own, without me adding points to them. The most noticeable increase was in my intelligence, which kept steadily rising. This might be due to my constant use of my other mind skill, so for now, I didn't see any advantage in manually increasing it.
As for my charisma, I already had 8 points in it, so I decided to add 2 more points, bringing it up to 10.
[Charisma +2]
I expected only a minor change, but something interesting happened.
[Congratulations, Host, for reaching 10 points in one stat. You will be awarded with a random skill.]

[Active Skill: Faker:]
[Faker: Quickly adjusting your communication style to suit different personalities, cultures, or situations. Can copy one personality once per week. Can't copy another personality when one is active.] "I get a free skill when I hit 10 points in one attribute?" I exclaimed in excitement, my eyes widening as I realized the potential of this new opportunity. This unexpected bonus had just expanded my possibilities for growth beyond what I had initially imagined. "Faker" might not sound like a powerhouse skill, but its versatility and practicality were incredibly promising.
For example, trying to fit into the world of gangsters while maintaining my true identity, Faker could be a game-changer. It meant I could more convincingly emulate the behaviors, personalities, and communication styles of those around me, further solidifying my cover. This skill was like a hidden ace up my sleeve, and I couldn't wait to see how I could use it to my advantage.
"Wait, I need to put more points into my other stats so I can get more skills," I muttered to myself, my excitement bubbling as I think of the possibilities.
I feel like a gambler playing a gacha game to get rare skills. This is so exciting! However, I needed to strategize and decide which attributes to focus on. Should I aim for combat-related skills to better defend myself , or should I focus on skills that could aid in my infiltration and manipulation efforts? The possibilities were endless, and I had some important decisions to make. As I contemplated, it dawned on me that as powerful as my manipulation skill might be, I required additional physical abilities to enhance my survivability . Memories of the formidable police officer I had witnessed flooded my thoughts. Her incredible strength had left a lasting impression, and it fueled my aspiration to reach even greater heights. I realized that aiming for a power level that could rival, or perhaps even surpass, hers was the path I can pursue. [Agility +5 ] [ Strength +1 ]
The familiar pain of my body adjusting washed over me again, though this time it wasn't as excruciating. I sat down to wait for the discomfort to pass, and as it did, I started to notice some subtle physical changes. My muscles appeared more toned and defined, and my legs seemed a bit longer. [Congratulations, Host, for reaching 10 points in one stat. You will be awarded with a random skill.]

[Active Skill: Quick Phase]
[Quick Phase: is a remarkable skill that temporarily enhances an individual's movement speed twofold for precisely 3 seconds. This phenomenon occurs through a complex neural synchronization process within the user's brain and musculature. When activated, neural signals quicken, muscles contract with exceptional efficiency, and the perception of time itself appears to decelerate for the practitioner. ]
[Can only be used once a day.] "Jackpot!" I couldn't contain my excitement as I read the skill's description. This skill was an absolute game-changer. Doubling my speed in just a few seconds would not only allow me to react faster but also catch my opponents off guard. It was like having a turbo boost whenever I needed it. 'Use one skill points to upgrade Quick Phase' I muttered.
[Quick Phase Level 1] —> [Quick Phase Level 2] [ 3.5 seconds]
I was disappointed to see that only 0.5 second was added. I had hoped that it would allow me to double the number of times I can use this skill in a day. However, I realized that this skill is already quite overpowered, so maybe I need to put in more effort to increase its usage limit in the future. Seeing the small increase in Quick Phase , I decided to put my remaining two skill points to Intense Concentration .
[Intense Concentration Level 1] -> [Intense Concentration Level 3]: With Intense Concentration leveling up, I can now utilize it more to improve my quick learning speed. After reading the content, I noticed that the increase isn't that significant, but Intense Concentration can help me focus on one thing without getting bored too quickly. And it also supports more of my skills in one way or another, so I'm not losing anything by improving it. "Status"

"This is awesome," I chuckled to myself, grinning as I looked at my improved stats. It felt refreshing to see the improvement. But before I could fully enjoy the moment, I heard the groaning sound of Dang Bak.
"Where am I?" he asked with a groggy voice.
