Chapter Twenty Three - 023For a minute, Felix just laid on the ground.
He was so damn tired. And thirsty.
Waaghk. So so thirsty.
Status: Dehydrated (Major)
Yeah, that makes sense.
In the corner of his vision, a tiny exclamation point icon blinked furiously at him.

Felix's eyes widened, though he still laid uncomfortably against the ground. A crescendo of nearly there music swelled in the distance, like a phantom orchestra a dozen rooms away. A flood of joy rushed through his veins, the mental stats spiking a sense of delight in his brain.
That made him pause.
Are these stats changing my brain? I do--You Have Gained A Level!

Felix's body spasmed as he was flooded with power again, the music rising; a stereo blaring in the dark. His limbs felt like vibrating strings and his head like a gong, ringing and clashing and never quite stopping. Thoughts burned through his mind, ideas too fast to recognize or hold onto even as he felt a sudden increasing mastery over them.
"Oh whoa." Felix viewed his new Title with wide eyes. "Hero?" He groaned as he sat up, looking around him again. The remains of the wurms was everywhere. Purple blood and off-white offal covered most of the uneven stone ground, and it sizzled where it had begun to eat into the rock.
"Huh, didn't even notice it burning. Acid Resistance is getting up there."
Purple blood coated his arms, chest, and legs. It had eaten through much of his clothing, leaving him once again nearly naked, but it barely harmed his skin.
Is that because of resistance, or because of my increased stats? His Vitality and Endurance were...wait a sec. He pulled up his stats.
