Chapter 197 – New field of study.

There was a limit of how many passive class buffs he could select, with the Runesmith Lord one and the new one he needed to make a decision. After some consideration, he decided to go with his first mage class. It gave him a big boost to mana and mana regen while the Runic Blacksmith went for stamina. There was a lot of overlap between the Runic Blacksmith the Runesmith Lord and his new Runic Engineer class when skills were considered.

The passive buffs that this class was giving him made it seem that it was focused on work. The stamina increase and regeneration along with all the passives would allow him to work for longer without getting tired.

His mana reserves didn’t get much of a boost after attaining this class, mostly due to the Runic Blacksmith mana increase not being there anymore. But with how large his mana pool already was he wasn’t all that worried. Then he also got a decrease in using runes which would probably still offer him more uses from them in the long run.

After going through the list of new abilities of his new job he did want to give out a sigh. All of these skills would allow him to work more and get tired less. His initial goal was to work less not more but this system was just pelting him with abilities tailored to just that, working more.

The stamina increase wouldn’t only help him swing a heavy hammer for longer, it would also aid his dungeon runs greatly. The heavy armors that he wore did drain his stamina during battles and the increasing heat only added to it. Still it was mostly a manufacturing class so there would probably not be many skills that would directly aid him during battles.

‘Will the increase in stamina help me with this?’

Roland’s status screen flickered away while he looked to his hand. A small leather satchel was there with one of the simplest spatial enchantments that he owned. The item he was holding was something that he once found in the dungeon. It probably belonged to a new adventurer that either died or ran away from monsters.

The enchantment on it was quite faint, there wouldn’t be space for many items but it was still better than bringing a backpack to a fight. Now the big question on his mind was, could he copy the spatial enchantment with his Runic Eye of Truth.

He placed the small leather satchel down on the workbench while standing in the mostly empty room. His head was already starting to hurt after the memories of the previous activations of this skill flooded it. The experience that he went through was truly uncomfortable and even after all of them the skill didn’t level up once.

Thus he could do two things now. Either he waited for this new skill to go through a couple of levels while he examined simple runes or go through with it now. The first choice was the more logical one as the success increased and the strain on his body would probably be reduced.

Yet, for someone that didn’t know what the next day could bring this might not be an option. Even though he might have gotten the stress resistance skill this didn’t mean that Roland didn’t worry about his future. Now even more after he was slowly getting attached to other people around him.

If he was able to create a spatial rune then his work would be taken to another level. There would be so many new possibilities, perhaps he wouldn’t even need to use the bulky golem on his mining attempts. Instead he could inscribe a rune onto his armor that could house some of his creations.

This was quite a lofty goal as even the large spatial bags that he owned had their limits. Their size limit was mostly to about four to five square meters. Which was enough for cut up monster parts, ores and his golems.

How difficult to recreate one bag would be he could only speculate, then he would need to worry about the implementation. These magical bags didn’t seem to need any mana to work but this didn’t mean that the runic variant wouldn’t.
