Chapter 546 Hidden Stats
Chapter 546 Hidden Stats
Thoroughly reading through the various effects the pill had given him, Valyr’s eyes slightly widened in surprise as he did not expect some of the notifications that popped up. In his mind, he thought that he would only get a maximum of around five notifications total, with one talking about his increase in stats, while the remaining four would talk about his improved mana and vitality.
“That’s a lot more than I thought,” muttered the young man to himself, deciding to separate the notifications into two categories like how he had separated his notifications from upgrading his subclass in the past.
Ding!
[Due to the effects of the True Rebirth Pill, you have gained the passive skill ‘Enhanced Mana’.]
[Due to the effects of the True Rebirth Pill, you have gained the passive skill ‘Enhanced Vitality’.]
[Due to the effects of the skill ‘Enhanced Mana’, you have gained access to the hidden stat Mana Purity.]
[Due to the effects of the skill ‘Enhanced Vitality’, you have gained access to the hidden stat Vigor.]
[Due to the effects of the True Rebirth Pill, you have gained 3 points to Mana Purity.]
[Due to the effects of the True Rebirth Pill, you have gained 3 points to Vigor.]
“System, identify ‘Enhanced Mana’ and ‘Enhanced Vitality’.” For the first category of notifications he had obtained, all of them were related to the skills the young man had obtained from the True Rebirth Pill, specifically the skills ‘Enhanced Mana’ and ‘Enhanced Vitality’.
Ding!
Though it did not seem like the two skills did a lot for the young man from another person’s perspective, with the great amount of knowledge he had accumulated about Greater Beyond from his past life, Valyr knew that such skills would only become better the stronger he became.

[Enhanced Mana] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: Rare
Mana was originally a pure energy, capable of contending against the most primordial of energies. However, with the birth of matter and life, mana began to be contaminated with its properties, causing it to lose its original power. ๐๐ฌ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ ๐ง๐xt.๐ธ๐๐
Nevertheless, such a contamination allowed those with weak strength to tap into a nigh-infinite energy source, granting them the ability to achieve feats beyond the limits of what a single creature is capable of.
To enhance one’s mana is to restore part of the original properties of mana, ridding it of its contamination in exchange for greater power. Only those adept in controlling mana can begin to refine and purify mana back to its original form, with those becoming one with mana able to have the purest of mana flowing throughout their bodies at any time.
This skill unlocks the hidden stat ‘Mana Purity’ for the user, with each point towards the stat considerably increasing the potency of each point of mana. This effect only becomes more prominent the higher the user’s class rank is.
This skill also boosts the user’s maximum MP by 5%.

‘To think I’d be unlocking hidden stats this early.’ After he was done reading through the description of ‘Enhanced Mana’, the young man let out a faint chuckle as he skimmed through the description of ‘Enhanced Vitality’, considering that the purpose of the two was more or less the same.
Both skills gave a considerable increase to a general stat, as well as gave him access to a specific hidden stat.
Though almost player of Greater Beyond knew of the general stats, which were comprised of HP, MP, Attack, and Defense, as well as the eight specific stats one would see on their status screen, only those that have ascended beyond Rank 5 and entered the realm of Myths would come across another type of stat that had a large impact on one’s strength in the later stages of the game.
Hidden stats.
Just like the name suggested, hidden stats were stats that were normally tucked away within the recesses of one’s body, having considerable effects on certain stats once discovered.
As far as Valyr knew, there were a few hidden stats that every player beyond Rank 5 would become familiar with. Among those common hidden stats were Mana Purity and Vigor, the two hidden stats the young man had just unlocked.
Even though Mana Purity focused on improving the potency of one’s mana, it also had an effect on one’s INT and WIS stat, allowing them to become slightly more effective on skills and spells that use those stats to scale their strength. From what the young man could recall, almost every mage and priest he had come across would have this hidden stat at over 10 points by the time they were Rank 6.
On the other hand, Vigor was a hidden stat that improved the efficacy of the VIT and STR stat, as well as the speed at which one regenerated health. Unsurprisingly, such a stat also had a slight effect towards one’s Attack and Defense stat, making it a staple hidden stat unlocked by those that either had classes focused on going berserk or tanking a lot of damage.
“With the 80 point boost to all of my stats included, that pretty much sums up what I obtained from the pill.” Closing the two screens he had brought up, Valyr went ahead and did a few basic movements to become more accustomed with the substantial increase in his strength.
After conjuring a couple of orbs made out of his slightly improved mana to fully get used to his new stats, the young man eventually shifted his attention towards the vial of purple liquid, taking in a deep breath as he felt a sense of nervousness gradually rise up.
“To be honest, I’m kind of afraid as to what possible side effects this vial might have,” muttered the young man to himself, briefly letting out a scared chuckle as he removed the stopper. Taking a whiff of the liquid inside, Valyr was slightly surprised by the fact that the liquid smelled fragrant, the scent of which reminded him of strawberries.
“Here goes nothingโฆ” Reminding himself that the effects of the True Rebirth Pill would be enhanced once he ingested the contents of the vial over and over again, the nervousness Valyr felt gradually disappeared. Then, after mustering up the courage to do so, he went ahead and downed the vial’s contents in one gulp, feeling a slight coldness emanate from the liquid as the feeling soon traveled throughout his entire body.
And thenโฆ
Thud.
