[MOTHER FUCKER, WE BOTH REALLY ARE STUPID!] Brance shouted, causing Selene, who was hitting a heavy bag across the room, to flinch heavily.

[[Yep…]]Cynrik solemnly said as he facepalmed at Brance’s overreaction.

[[Wait a second, if that’s the case, won’t the two eventually pass us up when their stat caps increase later on?]] Inserting herself into the conversation, Selene asked.

[[Yes and no, as I just told Brancie, our upper limit per Tier is substantially higher than theirs, so technically, we’ll still end up passing them as we work our way through the levels. The real question is how detrimental the Evo boosts are moving forward. Our resource stats at 1750 will inevitably be lower than theirs. Let’s look at it this way; if my VIT stat is capped, then My HP should be around 59,200; in contrast, Benny at his Tier-2 Cap would top out at approximately 39,300, a little under 20k less than me. The boost at Tier-3 is uncertain, but if Benny’s cap doubles to 2400, and the HP unit increment doubles as it has since Tier-0, then he would be getting 80 units per Stat point, so he would gain an additional 44k HP, bringing his total to 83k, nearly a full 30k above what mine is at 1750.]] Tapping his fingers in the air as if using a calculator, Cynrik explained his logic to Selene.

[[Meanwhile, we would have already advanced far enough to increase our resource stats. It is still up in the air as to if they can catch back up or not, but judging how badly we get short-changed after each Evo, I predict they should still be able to.]] Looking over at Selene, Brance raised his hands helplessly into the air.

[[Woman, I am still waiting on those skills, what is taking so long?]]

Quickly changing the topics since math hurt his brain, Cynrik narrowed his eyes while looking at the wall leading to the training room and spoke, not caring if the others were lost in numbers.

[[Cyn…darling…are you sure you want to see them? It is a bit much, and I am worried about how you will react.]] Using a soft and cautious tone, Selene double-checked that he really wanted to see her seven new Unique class skills.

[[Do dogs pee on brick walls?]] Cynrik retorted lazily, looking away from where he estimated Selene was located.

[[Did you just…huh? What kind of response was that?]] Selene asked while pouting.

[[I know it’s a quote from a movie…but I have no idea which one.]] Even Brance was stumped by what Cynrik said.

[[IT MEANS YES, NOW HURRY THE HELL UP, WOMAN!]]

[[Alrighttt, but don’t come kicking in the door again and try to beat me up this time because I’ll just run, hehe.]] Selene smirked as she replied with a coquettish tone before giving in and sending over her newly learned skills.

Although Cynrik knew that Selene had obtained seven new skills and had a rough idea of what they could be, he was DEFINITELY unprepared when all of the skills’ names came through in Norse. But after thinking about it for a second, he realized it made sense to some extent. Valkyrie are warriors from Norse Mythology, so of course, they would have skills named in a corresponding language.

But once Cynrik began reading through the skill descriptions, his brain full-on shut down. There was even a tiny trickle of drool dripping from the corner of his mouth as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing, even though his eyes had completely lost focus the instant he read the first few.

Thirty minutes later, Selene nervously walked over to Brance before tapping him on the shoulder hesitantly since he was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

Opening his eyes, Brance noticed the worried look on Selene’s face and cocked an eyebrow.

“What’s up?”

“Um…Brancie, I know you’ve been napping, but, Cynrik won’t respond to me at all; I’ve tried shaking him, smacking him, hell, I even screamed into his ear, but he doesn’t react to anything, and I’m worried.” Looking like she was about to burst into tears, Selene babbled so quickly that Brance had difficulty understanding what she was saying.

“Woah, slow down, Selly; what do you mean?” Brance said after making the girl repeat herself and jumping to his feet.

“Well, well, after Cynrik demanded I send him my skills, I did, and then he went radio silent, so when he didn’t answer me in the mind-link, I wandered into the living room…and…and…*sniffle*.”

Unable to finish her sentence, Selene broke down in tears and tugged at Brance’s arm, trying to pull him out of the training room and make him follow her.

When they arrived in the living room, Brance stared at Cynrik, who was sprawled out in his recliner, with his eyes rolled back into his head and foam dripping from his mouth.

When he got closer, Brance could hear the faint sounds of Cynrik muttering incoherently. Scrunching up his face, Brance waved his hand in front of his brother’s eyes a few times while calling his name, only to receive zero response, just as Selene had said earlier.

Sighing loudly, Brance snapped his fingers, conjured a rubber ball-sized orb of light on his fingertip, and waved it to the left side to the right of Cynrik’s rolled-up eyes. This drew a slight twitch from the motionless Cynrik, but that was all.

“Ok, you made me do this. So don’t get all pissy with me when you come to,” withdrawing his hand and dissipating the orb, Brance clapped his hands together loudly and began rubbing them together, starting slowly before quickly increasing the pace as he charged up Light Mana into both palms.

“Oi, Dickhead, you better wake up, or ima zap your ass with Light Mana, and we both know how much you enjoyed it last time.” Giving one last word of brotherly warning, Brance smirked and slowly spread his hands, creating a hazy ball of pure Light Mana, which completely engulfed both of his widening outstretched palms.

In fact, he wasn’t just charging up his palms; instead, Brance had activated one of his new skills, [Lay on Hands]. However, Cynrik was at full health and technically was just having an “anxiety-induced episode,” so the skill wouldn’t heal him. However, since he was a Dark Affinity user and Light Mana was his natural enemy, by using this skill, Brance planned on triggering Cynrik’s fight or flight response, bringing him back to reality.

“CLEAR!” The moment the words left Brance’s mouth, ones that he had always wanted to say thanks to years of Doctor-inspired television, Brance thrust both hands forward and placed them on Cynrik’s chest, sending a pulse of Mana into his body as if he was using a defibrillator.

The response was instant; Cynrik’s eyes rolled back down and went bloodshot before he jumped out of his recliner as if his ass was on fire.

“AHHH AHHH, IT BURNS AHHH MOTHER FUCKER BRANCIE! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?” Instantly enraged by his little brother’s actions, Cynrik dashed across the room into a dark corner holding his arms over his chest in an X and wearing an expression as if he was a maiden who had just been violated.

“Hehe, welcome back to the world of the living patient,” turning away from Cynrik, Brance looked at Selene and extended his hand.

“That’ll be 12 thousand dollars, please.” Unfortunately, his joke went unnoticed as Selene rushed to Cynrik and tackled him, wrapping her legs around his waist, dropping Cynrik into a sitting position, and planting a passionate kiss on his lips.

“You stupid fucking asshole, what kind of boyfriend goes into a coma from hearing his girlfriend’s new skills? Do you even realize how fucking worried I was? You wouldn’t respond and were white-eyed and foaming at the mouth.” Selene screamed through tears as she pinched the back of Cynrik’s shoulder blades.

“Huh, what are you on about Sel? Wait, what happened. OH, SHIT, THAT’S RIGHT, BABE, YOUR FUCKING SKILLS ARE TOO BROKEN! WHAT KIND OF BACKWARDS BULLSHIT IS THE CSH PLAYING AT RIGHT NOW?” Carefully prying her legs from around him, Cynrik spun Selene around and placed her in his lap with her back resting against his chest.

“Did you see this shit Brancie, her skills are LITERALLY mental! How is this fair?” Cynrik complained as he made small circles on Selene’s leggings.

“Yeah, I did, and unlike you, who is a fucking child apparently, I didn’t get so jealous that I basically had a stroke. Just wait until you read Benny’s; his new skills are equally impressive; these Unique classes are no joke.” Rolling his eyes, Brance got tired of watching the affectionate display between his brother and Selene and walked off towards the Training room.

“Eh? Hold up, is Benny’s shit broken too?” Leaning around Selene’s shoulder and looking in her eye, Cynrik tried to get answers but only received a helpless look instead from the girl sitting in his lap with tears still trickling down her cheeks.
