The fencer wanna-be fell quiet at Diz's admonition. He hadn't thought about status effects at all. It was, after all, possible that debuffs just ignored your evasion stat. It was also possible to be hit by a stun debuff and just miss it, and then... Well, Ruler didn't want to think about that. He raised his hands as if surrendering, but spoke defiantly. "Th, the boss? No way, no way! No way no way no way," he repeated, shaking his head vigorously. "Uncle, I'm not taking on any bosses yet. But..." Ruler frowned deeply and thought about the matter. True, if he just had a high Dex stat, he'd be weak in other areas. But he didn't want to generalise. A jack-of-all-trades was always a master of none, and even if the school dictated he was good at all subjects, Ruler thought it was important to specialise. "Then, 2/3rds of my points to Dex, and the rest split evenly between Con and Str," the boy said. The abbreviations sounded a bit awkward, and he wondered if C-O-N and S-T-R would be better than the awkward 'sutora' and 'konnu' he was using. Dex, at least, sounded okay. "If I'm going to fight, I want to make a light swordsman work," Ruler said.

Diz frowned a little and took in the new development. His own build wasn't thought out entirely but he knew what he needed to move towards in order to make it work at the very least. With a little hum, he raised his head and for the first time in a few moments looked at Souta. He was on the right track. Keeping things balanced would work out well for him but at the same time it could prove to be harmful. Efficency didn't always work in terms of survival but he wouldn't knock his cousin down for trying. " Have you learned how to fight yet?" He quirked up an eyebrow. Almost everyone knew about the bosses from what was transcribed and Diz only knew off-handedly. Leaning back in his chair, he tilted his head to the side and mulled over his cousin's build. " What are you thinking about going for in terms of armor?" His own armor was based off of the CON stat while his robe was DEX. " It could prove to make a difference later on."

Ruler admitted that he had no idea how to fight yet, but that he intended to learn at some point. "I don't want to rush into it," he explained. "Probably, there'll be people who figure out some good stuff about combat, and I can learn from that." He kept quiet about how he'd thought about picking up a combat quest to test the waters. It wasn't like he absolutely felt a quest was necessary for that, but if he was going to try it, a reward would motivate him better. Ruler frowned as he thought about the armour question. His cousin sure loved bombarding him with questions. "Well... I haven't thought about armour yet. At all." He gestured to his outfit, which was a simple set of clothing. "I wanted to try my hand at crafting some, but... I think I'd want to try and make up some Str and Con that way." Without getting in the way of speed, he added mentally. "What types of armour are there?"

Diz wondered whether he should have been worried or excited about the amount of thought Ruler was putting towards this. It wasn't like him to slack off but he could understand how the mind wandered when one wasn't excited about a topic. With a little hum of acknowledgement, the samurai nodded his head as he listened to his cousin's answers. STR and CON. That would be alright but there was also the worry of not being able to attack. If he was left wide open then that could cause some issues later on down the line. Diz folded his arms across his chest and furrowed his eyebrows. " Leather, cloth, chain and plated," he said. " Those are the four types of armor that are available." He touched his chin and glanced towards a few players who were talking amongst themselves while walking past. " They each provide different stats but it may be wise to switch up which ones you wear depending on how you want your build to allocate." Diz looked towards Ruler and tilted his head. " If you really want to go into crafting, maybe you should pick a profession where people will be more likely to buy your goods rather than ignore them for others." He suggested. "Not everyone appreciates versatility." Diz knew better than to spread himself too thin but it was best to stick with one thing at a time for now. There was no telling what would come up later on and if he engorged himself now, it would just be harder in the future and he wasn't looking forward to that. " Oh well, that is enough questions and answers for today, want to go get something to eat?" RulerWe can end this thread after your next post, if you want.

Ruler took mental notes of the available armour types. Just from the sound of it, cloth and leather sounded the most speedy. The boy wondered how much the game would take 'weight' into account, remembering kendo helmets. He reasoned that logically, chainmail and platemail should both be heavier than cloth and leather. In that case, absolutely, he needed cloth and leather equipment. He'd check the shops later, browse some wares and then, try his hand at some quick cloth crafts. He didn't expect much. "Well... I figure weapons are always good," Ruler said carefully. "A good sword should go a long way, a great sword even further." If he kept up his crafting, it might even be possible to keep supplying everyone with weaponry all the way up to the hundreth floor... Ruler shook his head. No, that wasn't a good way to go about it. The second floor. Ruler wanted to focus on the second floor first, and then think about the floor above it. "Let's get something to eat," he agreed. He didn't think they needed to eat, because on the other side... well, they were bound to be in a hospital or something by now. Would in-game avatars starve? Ruler didn't want to find out the answer to that, though. Even if the food wasn't exactly like the food he remembered on the other side, there was no real harm in eating. Outside of the col cost. "Actually, there's this place I've been wanting to try..."

Being able to walk side by side with Ruler like this felt nice. Diz wasn't sure what about it made him feel so at ease. Was it that despite their circumstances, he could still make the younger boy smile. Or that the two of them could spend as much time as they had together in this moment. He wasn't exactly sure on what to feel or think about the death game. His entire life revolved around walking side by side with death. And he wasn't going to let it beat him now when he achieved what he wanted the most. Diz listened to Ruler as he talked and with a bit of light laughter, he reached to wrap an arm around the teen's shoulders. Like this, he could ignore the outside world. Nothing else mattered except for this moment. He could pretend that the death game was just a hoax. He was living in a virtual world as his real body recovered and his cousin was at his side. This was exactly what he wanted and he wouldn't wish for anything else in this moment. " We can go anywhere you like." RulerAnd, over.
