BXBX NOVEL Chapter 49 - Statue.
\'\'These would probably only give dozen White Coins... It is not worth it to waste Inventory space on these items.\'\' Isaac tried to find other items the Goblins dropped, but they seemed to be very poor. They didn\'t even drop potions, but Isaac knew that it was a very rare chance of happening.
Isaac walked back to the cave.
He didn\'t hear any noises, but he still didn\'t lower his guard. He had his reloaded Flintlock ready, but his worries were to no avail.
He reached the end of the cave. There was only one campfire, a dozen sticks, a few wooden maces, and one small statue.
Isaac curiously picked up the small stone statue.
The stone statue had the curves of a woman, but her face seemed obscure. The hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she was carrying a bow with a quiver on her back. Her body was quite petite, and she seemed to wear some kind of dress, which gives her the best possible mobility, but it enhanced her looks, making her very beautiful.
If the stone statue had facial features, Isaac would be certain that the woman would be a very lovely individual.
*Ding* *Ding*
Isaac heard a familiar dinging noise in his ears and saw messages popping up.
[You have discovered the Statue of Goddess Artemis!]
[1000 XP Earned!]
[Title of Adventurer Increases the XP by 300%!]
[1000 -> 4000 XP Earned!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Level 13 -> Level 14]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Level 14 -> Level 15]
Isaac looked at the messages with mouth agape, but then another message popped up.
[Statue of Goddess Artemis Acquired!]
[Statue of Goddess Artemis - Legendary]
\'\'Legendary!\'\' Isaac shouted with disbelief— his first thought was about selling it to earn wealth beyond everyone\'s expectations!
But then, another message popped up, which made him look conflicted.
[Goddess Artemis Trusts You To Keep The Statue Safe]
[God Loki Recommends Selling It]
Isaac looked at the statue one more time and put it on his Inventory.
No one knows what decision he made. He sat down on the hard ground and looked at the time remaining.
[41:40...]
Only little bit over 41 minutes left until his timelimit is over.
\'\'Interface...\'\' He murmured and decided to put his Stat Points before entering deeper inside the forest.

________
Isaac first pressed [PRE]
Isaac decided to add the Stat Points for Precision first.
[PRE: 60 -> 75]
[SP: 40 -> 25]
Next, he pondered little bit longer.
Minute later, Isaac made up his mind.
[VIT: 36 -> 50]
[SP: 25 -> 11]
[DEX: 20 -> 31]
[SP: 11 -> 0]
Isaac pressed Confirm, and his Interface glowed a few seconds longer.
His Interface looked vastly different now, and Isaac could already feel something changing inside his body.

\'\'Next stats I will put on agility...\'\' Isaac murmured and stood up. He cleaned the dirt from his pants and left the cave.
His HP was still very low, and it will take at least 5 more minutes before his HP is restored, and if he gets even scratched before that, he needs to wait another 10 minutes.
But he doesn\'t have any time left. Even waiting for his HP to get restored will waste valuable time.
But, Isaac got a painful lesson from the Goblins. He underestimated them because of their slow speed, and that almost got him killed.
Isaac didn\'t want to take any more risks and decided to wait.
5 minutes later.
A long-awaited message popped up.
[You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]
[Your wounds have been healed!]
\'\'Finally.\'\' Isaac stood up and started walking deeper inside the forest.
Only 35 minutes remained until his time limit was up.
He hopes to reach Level 16 before having to log out, but it seems very hard to achieve.
\'\'More Goblins, please.\'\' Isaac hoped that he would meet more Goblins. They were easy XP, but he did stupid risks, but next time he will be more careful.
The Forest of Unknown was still dark, but the sun was leaving the sky slowly. Soon, the Forest will be pitch dark, and that will make things extremely difficult.
Isaac hasn\'t tried shooting in the dark, but he is sure that night time is another weakness for Marksman.
\'The game developers must have known the flaws of this class... But why aren\'t they buffing it? At this rate, no one will use Marksman.\' Isaac thought to himself.
He likes Marksman class a lot, but he is painfully aware of all the weaknesses this class holds.
The advantage the Marksman class had at the start is over— players will get stronger armor and weapons, their levels are also getting higher, making the Marksman class advantages disappear more and more.
The only good thing about Marksman is the ability to shoot from long range and the ability to deal much more damage than other classes.
But Isaac is getting afraid that the things King Klaus said was coming true. Players are getting faster, and the Flintlock pistols aren\'t exactly quiet— it gives them more than enough time to dodge the bullets.
He again daydreamed and didn\'t notice that he had exited the forest!
Isaac noticed that the darkness around him had vanished— he looked in front of him and saw a fascinating sight!
In front of him was a small village! Wooden fences surrounded the 100-meter area around the village— there were wooden huts and slightly larger wooden building in the middle of the village.
Isaac heard distinct grunting noises coming from the village and saw another message popping up.
[You Have Discovered Goblin Village!]
[100 XP Earned!]
[Title of Adventurer Increases the XP by 300%!]
[100 -> 400 XP Earned!]
