Super Spark of Duper Pride [OB] - Act I: Motivation

2-9: Evil Eye! (Spider 41)

Karada: Looks like the new bee is already earning its keep.

Don't mention bees ever again.

Karada: Hm? Why?...Oh, sorry, I forgot...

Let's just kill the Monster and forget about our trauma.

And so we killed our next prey and levelled up to LV3.

Our scythe is back and [Life] evolved into [Longevity].

It's in the same tier as [Herculean Strength], which seems to be a tier below [Skanda].

Man, I really want to max out these Stat Growth Skills so we can maximise our growth rate.

Karada: More things to train up once we reach the Upper Stratum then.

Yep! The other thing is that we have enough Skill Points for an Evil Eye.

Karada: Wait, really? When did we get enough Skill Points?

Well you see, since evolving, we have been getting 50 Skill Points per level up instead of merely 20.

By the way, our natural Stat growth per level up has also increased.

Karada: Oh cool! Now let's get an Evil Eye!

But there are so many to choose from.

There are [Cursed Evil Eye], [Roting Evil Eye], [Paralysing Evil Eye], [Petrifying Evil Eye], [Discomforting Evil Eye], [Phantom Pain Evil Eye], [Maddening Evil Eye]...

Karada: Wait, Madness is a Heresy effect right?

Yeah, what?

Karada: And [Anger] gives increased physical Stats at the cost of inflicting Madness on the user.

But we have [Heresy Nullification] to negate that!

Karada: [Anger] on!...It's not working?

Um, I guess we need to be actually angry to use it?

Karada: That sucks, our usual state is fear or apathy.

Back to the Evil Eyes then, we also have [Charming Evil Eye], [Hypnotising Evil Eye] and [Fearful Evil Eye].

They apply their effects on their one chosen target in the user's line of sight.

They all seem so good, so how are we supposed to choose just one?

Karada: Hey, can't we get more than one?

What do you mean?

Karada: You do realise we have eight eyes, right? That means we can use eight Evil Eyes at once!

Gasp! Are you some kinda genius?!

Karada: Something like 'Activating Eightfold Evil Eye' or something! Is that sweet or what?!

Oh damn! Imagine the possibilities!

Karada: So why don't we pick one for now, and the rest as we go?

Okay! okay! Which one strikes your fancy then?

Karada: I mean, it's gotta be [Cursed Evil Eye] right? I'd say that the first thing that comes to mind with Evil Eyes is curses.

Man, I really know what I am talking about!

On a logical level, it makes sense to pick up an Attribute we don't have yet.
