When Seth checked his status, he ignored his reduced HP. He knew that he wasn't very nice to his body, when he was caught in his fascination for forging. It would heal fast, as long as he took a good break.

His Strength and Endurance reached 20 in the last days, but stopped growing there. Was this the cap?

"I guess this is as far as I can go with just training, eh?", Seth mumbled to himself and looked at the free attribute points he had saved up until today.

He was finally at the point, where he had to think about how to distribute them. He also ogled the free skill points, maybe he should decide on those too.

Seth looked at his attributed for some times. As a blacksmith he obviously needed Strength and Dexterity. These grew the fastest when he was forging, so they were the most important.

Followed by Endurance and Willpower. The first was obviously needed when he was supposed to work for hours without end.

The second seemed to have something to do with

, he had no idea why else it would have grown. It made sense that willpower had something to do with mental power, but it was still below 20, so it would have to wait.

Intelligence was similar, it grew slowly on its own, and he had the ring. So, it didn't seem very urgent to raise it.

Agility? It probably wasn't necessary for a blacksmith, but it might come in handy in a fight, so he should not neglect it.

Seth had 50 point to distribute. After deciding on the priority, he put 15 in STR and DEX each, 10 into END and 5 into AGI. Seth saved 5 for WIL once it reached 20 points.

It wasn't like in a game, where the attributes were just numbers. With the sudden jump in power Seth could feel his muscles, not bulge, but tighten as if they became denser. He also felt a lot fitter and healthy, which was probably the effect of endurance.

The effect of dexterity was a lot more subtle. His hand-eye-coordination seemed to have increased. Seth's sense of touch in his hands felt more precise and the movement of his fingers became faster and smoother. He didn't know how else he would describe the effect of DEX.

Next were the skill points. Where should he invest them? Looking at the list of skills, not all of them could be upgraded with skill points. Somewhere locked, he could not increase

for example, even though he had been able to before. Seth realized that some skills could not be leveled up with SP and others might have prerequisite to be leveled up. He would have to keep an eye out for this.

This only left the skills
