Nocturne's Night

Chapter 9: The Angels of Fyora

As the first rays of dawn reluctantly seeped into Yura's room, he awoke with a groan, the warmth of the early light doing little to lift his mood. He was not a morning person, and the cacophony of Liandra's awakening was more an irritant than a symphony. The city below buzzed with life as market stalls brimmed with fresh produce and street vendors enthusiastically peddled their goods. Yet, amid this vibrant tableau, Yura trudged through the bustling thoroughfares with a distinct lack of enthusiasm. His thoughts were singular and resolute: endure the next two days before heading to Rina's estate.

As Yura settled into the window seat of his room, the early morning light casting a soft glow around him, he pondered the nature of this world, momentarily likening it to an RPG. The thought of his STATUS WINDOW resurfaced in his mind, a detail he had nearly forgotten.

He summoned the window by putting mana into in his hand while thinking about the Status Window and began to scan through it. "Let's see where I stand," he muttered, his eyes moving over the attributes.

Yura
Class: Professional Killer
HP: Healthy (HP represents overall health status. Yura is currently in perfect condition.)
MP: 55 (Mana Points denote magical energy. Yura possesses some latent magical capability.)

Attributes:

Vitality: 98 (Determines resilience and overall life force. Yura's physical toughness ensures he can survive even severe injuries with remarkable recovery speed.) "Vitality's steady," he noted, appreciating his resilience. "Always good to have a solid foundation."

Strength: 37 (Determines physical power and melee damage. Yura's strength allows him to handle multiple opponents, though he remains balanced compared to others in his field.) "Strength's up a bit," Yura noted, a hint of satisfaction in his voice. "Good to know I'm getting stronger."

Endurance: 55 (Measures stamina and ability to withstand physical damage. Yura's resilience is notably improved, likely due to the rigorous month of travel he has endured.) "Endurance has improved too," he observed, rubbing his chin. "That month of travel was grueling, but it seems it's paid off."

Wisdom: 114 (Represents accumulated knowledge and experience, particularly in strategy, tactics, and survival. Yura's wisdom has increased, reflecting his deepened understanding.) "Wisdom's up," Yura mused, a thoughtful frown crossing his face. "Can't say I'm surprised; I've learned a lot recently."

Dexterity: 103 (Affects speed, reflexes, and evasiveness. Yura's agility remains exceptional, his swiftness unchanged despite the numerical adjustment.) "Agility's still holding strong," he said with a smirk. "I suppose some things never change."

Intelligence: 61 (Indicates cognitive ability and problem-solving skills. Yura's cleverness remains rooted in street smarts rather than academic knowledge.) "Intelligence hasn't shifted much," he remarked, shrugging. "I guess I'm more practical than academic."

Luck: 51 (Influences outcomes of uncertain situations. Yura's above-average luck provides occasional benefits, though it is not a dependable factor.) "Luck's about the same," he mused, a wry smile tugging at his lips. "It's helpful, but I can't rely on it."
