Draft: 58 Health Points
🕑 Added 2021-06-23 06:38:19 +0000 UTC--Any chapter title suggestions for this one?
The poisoned notifications continued to pile up, but James refused to be a passive participant in her own poisoning. Granted, she might have caused it to herself by believing that she could weather whatever was thrown at her, and not really considering how poisonous plants could be, so really her role wasn’t very passive, but that was in the past. Now, she could react.
Leaning over, she forced herself to throw up, heaving until she was sure that all remnants of the greens were gone from her stomach and then once more for good measure. All that fish she had eaten happily before now smelled absolutely terrible, but if she were honest, James couldn’t really concentrate on that. Staggering a step away- she was coherent enough to know she didn’t want to collapse anywhere near her vomit- she let herself fall onto the ground. She still wasn’t completely sure what attracted goblins, but she prayed none would come to investigate at the moment. She was completely vulnerable in her present condition.
You have been poisoned by Noxious Green [inferior], your Health goes down 29 points.
You have been poisoned by Malevolent Green [inferior], your Health goes down 14 points.
You have been poisoned by Wicked Green [inferior], your Health goes down 31 points.
You have been poisoned by Diabolic Green [inferior], your Health goes down 37 points.
The quick progression of the poison was interesting to note, the general pain giving way to a searing burning sensation before numbness set it. Stemming in her stomach and her esophagus, the poison began to radiate outwards, making concentrating on anything else impossible. In some ways, it reminded her of when she first got her Permanent Skill, A Thousand Questions.
Health Points: 211/781 (625)
She wasn’t below 10% yet, but with the rate of the notifications piling in, she wasn’t too far off from it either. At least she had some extra points health points stored thanks to her earrings, raising her health points from 625 to 781.
Trying to concentrate, James tried to direct the Free Stats she had saved up to vitality, giving it 10 more points and bringing it up to 43 with the rest of her multipliers.
Health Points: 411/1031 (875)
As opposed to other stats increasing and James not feeling a difference, her current situation made sure that she properly appreciated the 150-health point increase. Still, the notifications continued to come in, flashing across her face unprompted.
You have been poisoned by Noxious Green [inferior], your Health goes down 31 points.
You have been poisoned by Malevolent Green [inferior], your Health goes down 42 points.
You have been poisoned by Wicked Green [inferior], your Health goes down 12 points.
You have been poisoned by Diabolic Green [inferior], your Health goes down 15 points.
Altogether, her Health points now only sat at 100, below the required 10% to feel normal. So on top of the weird numbing sensation overtaking her body- James chose the ignore the agony that would arrive before it- she now felt generally awful. Without overthinking it, James put in another 10 points, hopeful that the poison was slowing down. The last two notifications had lower numbers.
Health Points: 506/1281 (1125)
You have been poisoned by Ruinous Green [inferior], your Health goes down 22 points.
You have been poisoned by Adverse Green [inferior], your Health goes down 8 points.
Health Points: 476/1281 (1125)
No more notifications came through, for all that James still felt absolutely terrible and that numbing feeling was still there. She wondered if she’d even be able to get up in this state. She felt so physically weak she couldn’t believe she started the Tutorial with approximately that amount of health points. Heck, even before the influx of free stats to her vitality stat she hadn’t been that far off from 476. It just went to show everything was proportional and to never go below 10% health.
One last notification passed across her eyes and James prayed it wasn’t the poison restarting. She was tired. She didn’t want to consider what using up 20 of her free stats on vitality meant for her future development. She didn’t even want to acknowledge that those free stat points meant so much since it made the world even weirder in her eyes, one of those unspoken reasons she hadn’t touched her free stat points.
You have gained Permanent Skill Poison Resistance [inferior]!
She could stand to get more notifications like that. She really could.
