[+288,000 EXP]

[You have leveled up!]

[You have leveled up!]

Cipher observed the system notification. He wondered if the Immortal King was really dead.

After all, the system notification was here. Not that it meant anything, as Draven and Orion had confirmed that they had also received the notification after participating in eliminating the Immortal King with the Chairman back then.

"There's a chance he's not completely dead. Don't let your guard down," Cipher said.

He then summoned his system.

Looking at his stats, he had min-maxed quite a bit.

He'd begun with four free stat points, which he'd all put into Stamina, making it 68. After that, as he flew through the air, he'd eliminated five C-Rank monsters, gaining 10 stat points. This was the limit before his True Rank could advance.

He paused killing the monsters and put four points into Stamina. He then put two points each into Strength and Agility, bringing all his stats to 72 except Intelligence, which was now 73.

After that, he resumed the killing and eliminated four C-Ranks, gaining 8 stat points and hitting his True Rank limit. He paused the killing and distributed them. He distributed two points each to Strength, Stamina, and Agility, bringing them all to 74. After that, he put the remaining 2 into Intelligence, bringing it to 75.

He then killed another three C-Rank monsters, gaining 6 more points and hitting the True Rank limit. He put 2 points each to Stamina, Strength, and Agility, bringing them to 76. Now his True Rank cap was just four points away. He killed two C-Ranks, reaching the cap instantly. He put one point to every stat, bringing the others to 77 and Intelligence to 76.

The cap was now 3, meaning he could still kill two C-Ranks, as one just gave two points. He eliminated two C-Ranks, gaining four free points. Just like before, he put one point to each stat, bringing Strength, Stamina, and Agility to 78 and Intelligence to 77. Now his limit was two points, meaning he could only kill one monster before his True Rank changed to B-Rank.

He killed the single C-Rank and put all the points into Intelligence, bringing it to 79. The cap was now at 1, but this meant he could still kill one monster. He killed a C-Rank and put one point to Strength and one to Stamina, bringing both to 79. Now only Agility was at 78. But he quickly fixed that by killing another C-Rank and putting one to Agility and then one to Intelligence, officially entering B-Rank.

It was then that he noticed Selene, descending to her and eliminating three C-Rank monsters with a swing of his sword, gaining only one level up now that he was B-Rank. He used the two free points on Strength and Agility, bringing them to 80 too. Now just Stamina was left.

And that brought him to now:

It was finally time. He put one point to Stamina.

[Congratulations! Aura (C) has advanced to Aura (B)]

…

Cipher smiled. It seemed Ryker's theory was right - he just needed all stats in the rank requirement to advance Aura. Still, he wasn't sure if it worked even if the stats weren't the same, but he wasn't willing to test that at the moment. He would have to spend two Forks and Merges to upgrade it if this failed.

It was better to just keep doing what already worked.

As for B-Rank Aura, as usual, there was no difference in the description. It would just apply to his stats above the C-Rank limit now, which he only had one of at the moment. Looking at it, it seemed skills couldn't evolve - they just got stronger in their field. At least for him.

Maybe for someone with the actual class, they might be able to evolve their Aura to something like Advanced Aura or something. He remembered Battery. It had evolved from Regeneration due to the mutation. He wondered if he had to use Rework Cards to evolve skills so they could gain other attributes. He would try it out later.

For now, he decided to check his Cheat Shop. The cards in the shop were Class and Refactor.

"A new Code Card?" Cipher thought.

He had now discovered a total of five new Code Cards: Import, Export, Debug, Optimize, and now Refactor. These were part of the Code DLC. He wondered if he could stack the DLC voucher. These cards were really versatile.

The new card, for example, allowed him to replace an edition in a skill. As long as he had the Mod Card with the edition he needed, he could use Refactor to replace the edition in a skill with the one from that Mod Card.

This was really great as he didn't have to use Delete - and sometimes multiple Deletes - to remove the editions before he could put the one he wanted. Now he could apply editions without fear, as he was able to replace them whenever. Whenever he found the Refactor Card, that is.

Still, he didn't feel like he needed it at the moment, so he didn't buy it. He bought the Class Card, though. There was always a use for a Class Card.

The rest of the shop was the two packs: a Mega Mod Pack and a regular Code Pack. He was definitely going to open that. He needed a Merge or Fork. He also wouldn't mind an Optimize.

Overall, he didn't feel it was a loss opening up a Code Pack. After all, the chances of hitting a total of five cards he didn't actually have a use for was almost nonexistent.

As for the voucher, it was Code Merchant. It was similar to the Skill Merchant voucher - it increased the chances of Code Cards spawning in the shop by twenty-five percent.

As much as he liked the Code Cards, Cipher didn't want to mess with their spawn rate. Both Code and Mod Cards' spawn rates were fine as is. If it was a Skill Merchant or a Cheat Merchant voucher, though, he wouldn't mind taking it. As for Mod and Code Cards, he didn't feel like changing it.

He then moved his attention to the Cheats Reroll button. He had leveled up two major levels, meaning he could roll for a cheat twice. He pressed the button and prayed he didn't get duplicates.

A/N: Might have overdone it a little with the numbers. If you guys don't like it, next time I can just say the numbers. Me did this mostly so you can correct anything wrong.
