“Um…” Chi-Woo groaned. “Urggh…!”

Chi-Woo had been staring into space since he returned home, or more precisely, he had been staring at his newly updated fostering system projected in the air and wondering which ability he should upgrade. Chi-Woo recalled what Nangnang had said about weighing the gravity of their situation. The same principle applied. He needed to weigh his fostering options to see which would help him overcome his shortcomings or maximize his advantages.

Thus, in this same line of thought, what advantage did Chi-Woo have that separated him from the other heroes? The answer was that he had ten innate special abilities, while others had difficulty getting even one; this meant that Chi-Woo had to place these abilities at the center of his growth. Thanks to La Bella, he had a way to do this, and now, he had to decide how to go about upgrading each ability.

‘Should I try upgrading each one once first?’ If he excluded Golden Ratio and increased all other abilities by one rank, he would still have about 15,000 merits left.

‘Come to think of it, I benefited quite a lot from Divine Blood.’ Chi-Woo had collapsed several times in battle but was able to get up eventually thanks to that ability’s healing effects. Since he valued his life, Chi-Woo upgraded Divine Blood without hesitation.

[Using 2,352 merits (24,608 -> 22,256)]

[Innate ability Divine Blood increases in rank (F -> E)]

Chi-Woo immediately called upon his user information.
