Island God: Going From Level 1 To World Ruler-Chapter 103: Stats

The night passed, followed by a bright orange solar flare basking over the horizon the following morning.

Midas awoke with a long and refreshing yawn, stretching out his entire body. He bathed in the river nearby with a few dozen other goblins and orcs.

There, he noticed in the reflection of the water that his body had changed.

He hadn’t noticed it the day prior due to the darkness, but he was almost a different person when it came to his physique.

He was still 5’8ft (152cm) in height, but his muscles had drastically changed. It didn’t make him look like a bodybuilder, but rather, a world-class athlete.

His muscles were large and strong, dense with thousands of myofibrial striations. However, they were created for a purpose.

His newfound muscle covered his abdomen with thick, rigid abdominal muscles and obliques that looked like bear claws. His legs were feathered, as though he had five percent bodyfat or less.

His arms were coated with a dense layer of muscle all over, adding slight size but mostly a fearsome aesthetic.

From head to toe, he was a ball of extremely powerful muscle.

At that moment, a few goblins came running from the forest.

Midas glanced toward them. They were panting, looking around as though searching for something.

They made eye contact with Midas, swiftly running over.

The three goblins stopped as they arrived before their master, bowing deeply.

"Greetings, master Midas!" They all shouted in unison.

"What’s the matter?" Midas replied, slightly confused.

"Gool and Yemo have returned from their quest to subdue the Oga Cavern goblins! He has arrived with one thousand five hundred and sixty-three goblins in total after overthrowing the king of the region!" One of the goblins shouted with all his might.

He closed his eyes tightly.

’I tried my best! Hopefully I didn’t sound odd or uncomfortable in front of his greatness!’ The goblin hoped inwardly.

"What!?" Midas said in shock.

On hearing this, the three goblins froze and harbored fearful expressions.

Midas quickly calmed himself, seeing that his reaction could have an impact on the goblins before him.

"I see... thank you for informing me." He said instead, quickly putting on his clothing again as he headed toward the basecamp city.

The goblins breathed sighs, melting with relief. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Phew."

"Nice! We did it!"

"That was intense!"

"Master is so calm..."

...

’What in the world!? One thousand and what!? When I first heard of Gool’s proposal to conquer the rest of the goblins on the island, I expected a maximum of a couple of hundred to be left living in some small settlement. But it seems that there were far more than I had accounted for. For such a task, I should have given Gool and Yemo much more firepower and support!’ Midas thought inwardly.

’The next time something like this happens, I’ll make sure to showcase the power of my country.’ He decided, thinking about Dorhal next. ’I sent him to capture the troll population... he told me that they wouldn’t be a threat, and after scanning Dorhal, I believe him. He’s a large force in his own right. What were his stats again?’ He thought back to the panel he had once observed.

Out of nowhere, the panel of Dorhal’s stats appeared before him again.

[Scanned status panels of beings who have surrendered to you will not disappear. You will have constant immediate access to their updated stats at all times.]

’I see... that’s very useful.’

’Aspect Beast tier, huh? I wonder what that means...’

[Beast Tiers are similar to the tiers of all other intelligent beings.]

[For humans, the tiers are as follows:

Foundation Tier - Level 1 - Begins the path. Strengthens the body and stabilizes energy.

Core Tier - Level 5 - Energy gathers and circulates. Powers basic abilities.

Vein Tier - Level 10 - Energy flows through the body’s pathways. Enhances speed, senses, and stamina.

Pulse Tier - Level 20 - Internal force becomes explosive. Can power tools, weapons, or systems.

Aspect Tier - Level ?? - ??

Instinct Tier - Level ?? - ??

Dominion Tier - Level ?? - ??

Pinnacle Rank - Level 100 - ??]

[For beasts, the tiers are as follows:

Foundation Beast – Level 1

The first step of evolution. Physical abilities surpass those of normal animals as energy begins to stabilize.

Core Beast – Level 5 - A stabilized energy core forms. Grants basic enhanced abilities such as reinforced hide or minor elemental affinity.

Vein Beast – Level 10 - Energy flows through the body. Greatly enhances speed, senses, endurance, and predatory precision.

Pulse Beast – Level 20 - Volatile internal energy. Can release explosive bursts of power or elemental force during combat.

Aspect Beast – Level ?? - ??

Instinct Sovereign – Level ?? - ??

Dominion Beast – Level ?? - ??

Pinnacle Beast – Level 100 - ??]

’Interesting... I never knew of this information to such an extent. It seems the system trusts me enough to give me this information now. But what did I do to earn such trust?’ Midas mused, slightly confused.

’Still, it seems it is unable to give me the descriptions or level caps of any tier that I have yet to unlock. For me, it looks like the aspect tier is the next one in line. Since Dorhal is an Aspect tier at level 54, I can assume that every twenty levels, you rank up once. This would make sense, since the pinnacle tier always seems to be at level one hundred. The math would add up perfectly, since Pulse is twenty, Aspect must be forty, Instinct sixty, Dominion eighty, and finally, Pinnacle one hundred.’ He surmised.

By now, Midas had arrived at the city. In the center, orcs, mosquitos, and goblins alike all stood along the sidelines of the main street.

At the end of the street, a small wooden platform was made.

Midas was led here and was requested to face all those living under him.

Bzzrt joined him on stage as they faced hundreds of goblins entering the city.

They made their way through the citizens lined up on the sidewalks, led by Gool and Yemo.

"My king... please give your new servants a speech. One that makes them feel as though they have made the right choice in surrendering unto you." Bzzrt buzzed into Midas’s ear from the side.

"Understood..." Midas said, nodding toward Bzzrt.

’Give a speech, huh? I always wing these... hopefully I can come up with a good one.’ He thought inwardly.

Just then, however, Midas heard a familiar cry from afar.

"Ouuuf!" The orc roared from an unknown distance in the north.

No one nearby had a reaction. Not even Bzzrt.

This confused Midas at first.

’That most definitely sounds like Dorhal. Is he back from his troll quest as well?’ Midas thought, ’It seems no one else, but I could hear his cry. I imagine it’s due to my senses being evolved from the second breath...’
