After eating out Cresseida's pussy until she passes out, i resume with my initial task, spending the next couple of hours reading about the Stats, the Enclosed Amalgams, their designations, variations and behavior.
Of course, the speed of my comprehension, along the velocity of my reading, both are more efficient than yesterday, demonstrating the Stats do provide an immediate boost to everyone, but developing then m accordingly, makes their functionality much more potent and rewarding.
Vitality is the perfect example. If a person in peak condition is able to lift 100 kilograms, suddenly gaining 10 points in the Stat, will allows a person to lift 200 kilograms, each Stat point gifting 10% extra of «Base Prowess».
But at the same time, it grants the body's development to be 10% better per Stat point in Vitality.
So with training and good nutrition, it's possible for the same person to lift a total of 400 kilograms without gaining more Stats.
Therefore, in the long run, proper practice is more relevant than simply getting in inflated number in the Stats.
Which leads me to my current predicament, gaining Proficiency without acquiring Experience, because will be a waste, as i'm a bit more than halfway to Maximum Level 17, when i haven't reached Level 7.
And searching for an answer, i stumble upon the perfect solution, one ability present in some Enclosed Amalgams, making them sought and feared above the rest, «Time Dilation».
In concept, is similar to the Relativistic Portal, but said conduit prevent the passage of time.
Instead, the Dilation expands a period of time within the Enclosed Amalgam, making it longer if compared to Loutharn's ongoing time.
This permits to obtain the opportunity to fetch a Subclass, and increase the Tiers of said trait, remarking that time discrepancy, is a factor intrinsic to acquire Subclasses.
Unfortunately, there are a couple of drawbacks, which is why most people don't delve into said anomalies.
Precepted Amalgam:
› Only can be crossed-in, by one Person.
› Arriving at the other side, otorgues a Precept based on the Person's Profession.
› Upon the Precept's completion, generous awards will be granted.
› Failure means Permanent Eviction from the world the Person arrived at.
{What if a Person changes it's Profession?. The «Mirror Me» become a Holy Knight, from whatever he was before… , If the Profession is what matters. Shouldn't this be a way to bypass it?}.
Ordeal Amalgam:
› They serve similarly to a Crossroad Amalgam. Terminals of entrances between worlds.
› A Person can only be in other worlds for a certain amount of time.
› One passage available every new day in Loutharn.
› Upon the Ordeal's completion, generous awards are granted, alongside a free daily passage to the world assisted, not accounting other worlds.
› Failure means severe consequences that could result in the partial, or permanent alteration of another world, including it's destruction.
{Granted awards?. By whom, or what?. The Enclosed Amalgam itself?. That makes it seem like they are a living organism rather than a place forcefully embedded in space}.
"Ahh~".
The ecstatic moan of Cresseida catches my attention, drawing me closer to the reception, leaving the books on the desk. "Am I still «Bad»?".
"You are, Young Gentleman". Breathlessly admits Cresseida, her green reptilian eyes brimming with impassive desire. "But as an Elder, i must ensure you develop properly, and i am willing to let you practice. Or do even more in the Guesthouse. But. I will be «Mad» at you, if you interrupt my duties at the Library. «Don't do it again…»". She bites her lips. «…Unless it's my break»".
{Sly Snake…}.
"Noted, and Engraved". I reply, kissing Cresseida, to depart shortly after from the Library.
Knowing the Precepted Amalgams are a one chance opportunity. I'm tempted to play it safe, heading to the closest Ordeal Amalgam, but in my way. I sight two of the former.

{I didn't read anything about these Requirements, although they must be only for me}.
{However, Ninth Zenith is a lot, 450 Stat Points in Ordinance. Avrora Miuller Alzierich had 197 in Spirituality, and is considered the strongest entity Loutharn has ever seen}.
{Not to mention the Embryons. Five is supposed to be the limit, and most people don't have a single one. How am i supposed to have Nine?!}.
"Why are you spacing out, Little Volttair?".
Natvoshka asks, placing her hand on my left shoulder, partially hugging me, leaning her tall robust figure to my right side, wiggling as if she couldn't comprehend where am i laying my eyes on.
{She can't see the Amalgams. It has to be related to the requirement's «Must» part, which means i possess those designations}.
"I need Proficiency, Vosha. And i'm pondering between Ordeal or Precept Amalgams".
"Haha. You'll certainly be bored with Normal Enclosed Amalgams… , But you Shouldn't underestimate the Precepted, there is something wrong with them. I entered in a Level 15, when i was Level 31". She signals the burn in her face, extending across her skin, passing the neck, reaching her arm. "I haven't be able to heal it, and i'm a Priestess".
"I see. I appreciate the warning. But tell me, what made you trailing me like a stalker for seven blocks now. Is there a reason?. Or you are just admiring me?".
She grunts sexily. "You are a fest for the eyes, but i intend to extract you from this pathetic, backwards City. Inviting you to my Dukedom is out of the question, because your Insane Grandfather would use it as an excuse to start a conflict…".
{So i have Grandparents. Good to know. I'll ask Vestaria about our family tree when i get the chance…}.
"But there are other reasons, Little Volttair. To start, you're an Otherworlder, and a Pure Scion. Needing resources, and real accurate knowledge to develop your maximum potential. If you manage to get Three Subclasses and reach Level 5 before tomorrow, eleventh day of the week in Loutharn's calendar. I'll be able to pull some strings so you can enter «Takctoor», «The Academy Khallyon Cravemeneer, The Obliterator Of Royals»".
She whispers at my ear. "«He» fuck Avrora Miuller Alzierich so well, she gained 100 Levels, or that is what the legend says"…
