It was an opportunity I couldn't afford to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My other selves were truly generous-especially the last three, who each gave me 20 status\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>points just from defeating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this much, I could guarantee my Agility stat reaching Rank A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't mean I could afford to neglect my other stats either. Most of the time, I had been relying on mana to compensate for my lacking physical\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>capabilities, but that wasn't a sustainable long-term solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic alone wasn't enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how magic required knowledge to wield effectively, my body needed a proper\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>foundation if I ever wanted to use higher-tier S-rank skills in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of those foundational stats was Endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at my current status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Riley Hell] [Race: Human]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level: 141]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strength: S (???)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Agility: B (0\u002F80)] [Endurance: C (0\u002F60)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Luck: o (????)] [Power: C (0\u002F60)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With greater Endurance, I could likely do far more than usual-fight longer, recover faster,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and withstand attacks that would otherwise cripple me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, I had to consider the synergy between my stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With [Last Stand] as a skill and my Strength already at S-rank, boosting Endurance too much\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>might actually backfire on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, [Last Stand] thrived under desperate conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It activated when I was at my limit, and if I built up too much Endurance, I might not reach\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that threshold when I needed the skill to kick in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left Speed-a crucial element in any battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extra boost to Agility would definitely help... but then again, I could always use Mana to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>enhance my speed instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agility was extremely useful, but it wasn't the only way to move faster. With Mana Reinforcement, I could surpass the natural limitations of my physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tapped my fingers against my arm, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How should I distribute these points...?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood there, deep in thought, carefully weighing my options. But just as I was about to make\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a decision-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something unexpected happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A presence suddenly invaded my personal space, making me instinctively take a step back. My\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>body tensed for a brief moment before I recognized the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\" I asked, blinking in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Flamme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had leaned in way too close, her face nearly pressing against mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what caught my attention even more was the ugly, wart-covered frog-like wind spirit she\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was casually shoving in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe~ You kept ignoring me, so I thought a little blessing from this ugly-I mean, cute\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>guy's face would fix it.~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grinned mischievously, clearly entertained by my reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I narrowed my eyes. This girl...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I thought you were in a hurry. Why are you just standing there blankly, staring into\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the air? You were even ignoring me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pouted before pointing at the ground. And then I noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeon was starting to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cracks began to spread across the stone\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the walls trembled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ding debris like\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>loose skin. A low, ominous rumble echoed through the air, signaling the inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to leave. Now,\" Flamme urged, snapping her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A swirling portal flickered into existence beside her a shortcut out. Normally, dungeons had an automatic transfer system that kicked in once the boss was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>defeated or the dungeon core was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Flamme's spirits had devoured the dungeon core, she had essentially become the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>temporary master of this space. That meant she had full control over its exits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Convenient.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she stepped through the glowing rift, motioning for me to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed, giving the crumbling dungeon one last glance before slowly making my way toward\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I was about to step through—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something grabbed me from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of soft, familiar hands suddenly wrapped around my waist, pulling me back just before\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>",2712,"2026-06-03T14:40:38.925Z",1,"novelbin.me","e5c9aa7806f7eb96478e609268c1ad81af90f91b0ac4600e78dc8164712c7b88","how-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-chapter-322","how-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-chapter-320",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-cover.jpg"]
