I went straight up to the third floor to the skill shop. âIâve got 3 skill points to use and my INT is over 1,500. I should learn that skill.- There was a skill that I wanted to learn before any others.
===[Physical tree, Magic tree, General tree, Random Skill (not applicable)]===
I clicked the Physical tree and searched the skill I wanted to learn.
[Heel Kick (3/3), (Active)
Kick at an opponentâs foot with the heel of your foot with all your might. In addition to damaging your opponent, your opponent loses movement speed, causing them to stop in their tracks.
Requirements: INT over 1,350
Attack range: 1 meter
Level 1: 360 second cooldown. Inflicts 100% more damage than current ATT and slows enemy down by 10% for 10 seconds.
Level 2: 360 second cooldown. Inflicts 120% more damage than current ATT and slows enemy down by 15% for 15 seconds.
Level 3: 360 second cooldown. Inflicts 150% more damage than current ATT and slows enemy down by 20% for 20 seconds.
Skill points required: 1
Golden rings required: 305,200]
It was a physical skill that required INT, a hybrid skill. This skill was mainly learnable by mages but mages didnât want this skill as its range was only one meter. The skill also relied on ATT, not MATT, for damage.
-But, itâs perfect for me. Iâve got more than enough INT, and slowing my enemies down is always a plus.-
This skill, combined with my increased movement speed the Boots gave me meant no one could escape my grasp. I could also use it to slow down monsters to make it easier for my party members to take them out.
-Though I doubt Iâll ever end up partying up for bosses or monstersâŠ-
I moved the Heel Kick skill window to the side and looked up some other skills.
All of my Stats were high. My STR was over 6,000 and my AGI was over 4,000. My AGI was higher than most archers. My ATT and ATT speed was already high enough.
-I guess that just means I need something to improve my basic attacks rather than get a power skill. Power skill cooldowns are pretty high for active skills, too.-
This time, I looked up a skill I knew to be of great use to melee fighters, known as Warriorâs Brave Spirit.
[Warriorâs Brave Spirit (3/3), (Active)
A brave warrior must not cower under pressure no matter what. A warrior must face look death coldly in the eyes, especially if escape is deemed impossible. A warrior who loses his brave spirit is a warrior no more. Never lose your bravery and charge forth!
Level 1: 8 hour cooldown. For one hour, raise your ATT by 20%, CRIT chance by 1%, CRIT damage by 50%, movement speed by 5%, and ATT speed by 2.5%. For one hour, Slightly Awkward Indomitable Spirit effect is placed (Slight Awkward Indomitable Spirit decreases chance to avoid damage by 10%). Fatigue does not rise while skill is in effect.
Level 2: 8 hour cooldown. For two hours, raise your ATT by 25%, CRIT chance by 2%, CRIT damage by 100%, movement speed by 10%, and ATT speed by 5%. For two hours, Determined Indomitable Spirit effect is placed (Determined Indomitable Spirit decreases chance to avoid damage by 12.5% and increases DEF and MDEF by 10%). Fatigue does not rise while skill is in effect.
Level 3: 8 hour cooldown. For three hours, raise your ATT by 30%, CRIT chance by 3%, CRIT damage by 150%, movement speed by 15%, and ATT speed by 7.5%. For three hours, Heroic Indomitable Spirit effect is placed (Heroic Indomitable Spirit decreases chance to avoid damage by 15%, increases DEF and MDEF by 10%, STR, AGI, VIT by 500).(*Increased DEF includes increased STR.) Fatigue does not rise while skill is in effect.
Skill points required: 2
Golden rings required: 1,357,000]
There were plenty of useful passive skills out there, but this skill was known to be the most important to improve basic melee attacks. Tanks and melee damage dealers all needed this skill.
-I have just the right amount of skill points and golden rings to learn both skills.-
I decided that those two skills were what I needed most right now. Buying both skills would cost me 1,662,200 golden rings. With the 20% discount, I would have just enough to buy them.
-I suppose Iâm still stuck with the greatswordâŠ.-
I was going to only use the greatsword temporarily but somehow, I was still stuck with it and the orc armor.
âIâll buy Heel Kick and Warriorâs Brave Spirit.â
âWith your VIP discount, your total comes out to 1,329,760 golden rings.â They really were expensive, but they were also worth every golden ring.
I paid the clerk and checked to see that I had 86,392 golden rings left.

Blink (Effect from Azazelâs Earth-shaking Lightning Boots)]
I finally had five skills now. âNice.-
My two passive skills were already maxed out at level 1, while my two active skills needed two more levels each to max out. Blink didnât have a level since it was an added effect from the Boots.
I took out my notebook and pen from my inventory, and circled the part I wrote about Azazelâs Boots.
âIf I couldnât get this now, then my next stop was Australia. But now that I have the Boots, I donât have to go anymore.â I still wasnât able to enter dungeons yet. I didnât need to go all the way down under just to hunt some field monsters. There were plenty of places to hunt in China and Japan.
âCheck dungeon blessing.â
==[You are currently under a dungeon blessing. (Time left: 11 days 9 hours 34 minutes)]==
I still had eleven days left.
âShould I go to China? Iâm sure there are different monsters now, but there has to be some high level monsters in all that land.â The bigger the land, the more monsters and monster types spawned.
They all had bracelets on that screamed âHealers for the win!â and even set their bracelets to be visible. There was only one reason they would do that, they were advertising to everyone that they were all healers.
Healers and supporters were pretty rare. No one really wanted to become someone elseâs supporting role just to get stronger. Healers and supporters were rarely ever the main cast. For them, just about everything was hard.
It was rare to see healers without tanks or damage dealers, and I couldnât help but watch them. I didnât see any guild emblems or any semblance of uniform and presumed that they were an improvised party.
âDid you all bring your 200,000 golden rings?â Choi Sukho asked as he sat down in the middle of the group.
âYes.â
âI have mine.â
âPerfect. As youâve all read on the partyâs forums, weâll be spending one month at a dungeon at Egyptâs Pyramid of Khufu.â
âWill we be alright without tanks or damage dealers?â a woman at the far end asked.
âHave you just started your healer build?â
âThatâsâŠyes. I started off as an Earth-type mage, but I realized that it wasnât for me. I tried out healing and it felt like it was right for me. But my leveling slowed down a lot as a Healer.â
âHa⊠I did say on the forums that beginners are welcome, but I see that youâre pretty fresh.â
âIâŠIâm sorry.â
âNo, itâs alright. Weâve all been through it. Iâll explain everything in detail.â
âOK.â
âThank you.â Everyone in the group drew in to focus on Choi Sukho.
âThe monsters at the Khufuâs dungeon are all undead. In other words, theyâre the perfect monsters for us Healers. We can use our heal spells on the monsters to damage them. You can just use the same heal skills youâve used on your previous party members to kill the monsters.â
âAh hah!â the woman exclaimed in realization. Everyone else nodded as if they already knew about it.
âThe heal spells youâve used to aid your teammates inflict severe damage on undead monsters. Now, I know that there are a few here who know Mega Heal and Greater Heal, but is there anyone here who knows Master Heal?â Choi Sukho expected there to be none and only asked out of respect, but a woman who had been silent the whole time raised her hand.
âWhoa!â
âWow!â Choi Sukho and the other party members exclaimed in admiration.
âThis is my fourth Healer party that Iâve led so far, but this is the first time Iâve met a Master Healer.â
âShe must be pretty impressive if sheâs a Master HealerâŠâ a man whispered to the side. Everyone heard and knew what he meant.
Healers leveled up very slowly compared to other classes, but it almost didnât make sense for a Master Healer to move on her own. They were all wondering if she really was a Master Healer.
âOpen Master Heals Menu!â At their suspicious glances, the woman opened her Master Heals skill menu for all to see.
âWhoa!â
âDamnâŠâ
âSheâsâŠfor real!â Slightly embarrassed, the others could only quietly make comments of admiration.
âIâm only here as this boyâs guardian. Heâs only been a deva for three months now. Iâll admit it; heâs too low-leveled and wonât be able to carry his weight, but thatâs why Iâm going, too. Donât you all think the two of us together wonât be able to carry our weight!â the woman spoke out as she laid a hand on her younger brotherâs shoulder. The others could only nod in agreement.
A Master Healer could do the work of three lesser Healers!
The party had a 90% chance of success against a dungeon full of undead, but with a Master healer in their midst, it was now 99.9%!

âI agree. I suppose all we have left to do now is get to know each other. Weâll be spending a month together, so we might as well. Please make sure to buy all the items that are listed on this piece of paper.â
âYes.â
âWe already got them!â the party members replied.
âPerfect! Letâs show everyone that this healer party can power level like anyone else!â
