Feeling the sudden drop in temperature around Benny, Selene took a few steps back and shooed away a couple of demons trying to attack her teammate before examining him thoroughly.
Physically the boy hadn’t changed much except adding new ice blue streaks in his chestnut-colored hair. Other than that, she noticed a faint power emanating from Benny, which told her it was dangerous to get too close; thus, she took a few more steps back and guarded her teammate against the crippled and anxiously crawling demons.
It took Benny several minutes to digest the information he had received from the book, and when he finished, his eyes rolled back down, and he exhaled a puff of visible, cold carbon dioxide.
“Woah,” was all Benny could say as he looked at his hands for a moment before reading through the notification spam.
“Are you done? You were all possessed for a solid 30 minutes Benny Boy, you better have gotten that new Affinity, or you will have wasted our precious time for no reason.” Seeing Benny was back to normal, Selene walked back over and got right in his face.
“Yes, yes, I am done and got Ice.” Facepalming her, Benny stood back up and loosened his shoulders before opening up his Stat profile and dropping his jaw when he saw the changes.
Unlike the Over-Break hosts, Benny and Gabby didn’t have an AI like Tobs that would narrate all their notifications for them, so even though Benny had scanned through them, it wasn’t the same as experiencing the physical changes and the rising numbers.
Spotting the extra 30 stat points, Benny thought for a moment and assigned the points before double-checking and hitting accept.

“My Codex reached Tier-3 Stage 4, I unlocked the Hidden Stat, Cold Resistance, evolved my Water Affinity to Tier-3 Advanced Grade, and acquired nine new skills. The icing on the cake is the additional 50 points to all my stats and 30 free allocation points.”
“I’d say I did pretty well; what do you think, Selene?” Shooting her a giddy smile, Benny boasted his gains only to realize that at some point, Selene had knelt on the ground and was drawing circles on the stone floor with her left index finger.
“Eh? What’s wrong?” He asked, concerned that he had upset the girl.
“Lucky punk, I didn’t get anything so cool as that.” Selene pouted without giving Benny the satisfaction of seeing her face.
“Come on; it can’t be that bad. Apparently, the Obelisk AI is giving us things that will be helpful in one way or another… I got a Fire Affinity Gem, but even that can be sold for some Merit Points.” Nearing Selene and patting her on the shoulder, Benny tried cheering the girl up, but all she did was shrug off his gesture and stand up.
“I got leatherworking and crafting skill books from the Bronze chests, and although I know that the other two items I got arent bad, I didn’t get any stat boosts or powerups like you did; UGH, WHY IS THE WORLD SO UNFAIR?” Stomping her foot angrily, Selene complained while looking at the ceiling.
Tilting his head to the side, Benny was speechless at her temper tantrum and had no idea how to deal with it, so he quietly waited for Selene to explain the other two items she received.
“Like, it’s cool and all since I need those, and it saves me some money.”
“But I also got a pair of tacky enchanted glasses and Mana regeneration earrings.” Selene said as she pulled a pair of studious reading glasses from her inventory and tucked her hair behind her ear to show off the studded earring in her right earlobe.
“Well, the earrings are helpful; we both know how slow and painstaking it is to recover MP; as for the glasses, their worth depends on the enchantment. What do they do?” Benny asked as he held out his hand for the glasses so that he could inspect them.
“They basically do the same thing as the brother’s [Inspect] skill, giving descriptions on objects or beings. They are useless to me since I’m always with my boyfriend.” Rolling her eyes and handing the glasses over to Benny, Selene walked over and angrily kicked one of the crippled demons to vent her frustration.
When Benny held the glasses, they seemed to link up with his system, and their description appeared as a notification window.
-Enchanted Glasses of Inspection: The being wearing these spectacles will be able to gather the information they would otherwise not be privy to, such as another creature or beings detailed Status Profile or an object or skill’s description.-
-The amount of information presented is determined by the Wearer’s INT and MIND stats.-
-These spectacles can change shape or be activated by adding Mana into the lenses.-
“Holy crap, Sel, do you even realize how good these things are? Big Bro and Brance would be scolding the hell out of you if they saw you complaining after getting such a good item.” Using the glasses, Benny followed the instructions and pushed a little bit of Mana through the frames and into the lenses.
Reacting instantly to the Mana, the glasses changed shape and became thin, half-framed wire glasses. When he looked at one of the crippled demons, he received the creature’s complete stat profile, allowing him to see that it only had 1382/12000 HP left and had several status ailment debuffs applied to it.
The data was projected through the lenses like augmented reality or even system notifications. Written in light blue text, the words and numbers didn’t obstruct Benny’s vision in the least, and if he pointed his eyes in a specific direction, the text could be moved to the side.
“Selene, these things are amazing; the amount of info we can get by using these is off the charts. You can’t even compare them to Cynrik or Brance’s skill. They only get limited information whereas I can see this ugly little guy’s complete profile, Affinity and Resource stats included!” Benny chirped excitedly.
“Huh? What are you on about? I thought they were just a basic inspection tool?” Tilting her head to the side and giving the boy a funny look, Selene replied.
“Not even close; these glasses could quickly go for hundreds of thousands of credits or Merit Points if sold; hell, imagine if we gave them to Gabby or even Cynrik; with their stats, they could see just about every fine detail a being can offer.” Benny took off the glasses and handed them back to their owner while speaking in an informed tone.
It was no secret that Gabby and Cynrik were fiends regarding data collection. The possibilities would be endless if this tool were put in their hands.
“I guess…when we get out of here; I’ll see what the others want to do with them; for now, we should take care of these guys and keep grinding,” Selene said as she put the Enchanted Glasses back in her inventory and walked over to a group of injured Tiz’gog demons.
Nodding his head and following suit, Benny looked up at the above screen and saw they had spent 30 minutes idle and opening their boxes.
|Time Remaining in the Floor 22 Challenge, 01:53.|
Taking a deep breath and channeling his newly acquired Ice Mana into his legs, Benny thought back to the visions he had seen after using the Advancement Book.
He had witnessed generations of what appeared to be Humans training their Water and Ice Affinities.
As a result, he knew just about everything there was to know about his new Elemental Affinity, what each of his skills, and all the skills he would learn up to Tier-3, could do when utilized fully.
Feeling the chilly sensation of his Ice Mana flowing through his body, Benny activated his first skill, [Chill].
A thin layer of frost spread around him, coating the stone ground as he walked forward. With each step, the ice spread out and froze each demon he passed, turning them into popsicles.
