Returning to the workshop Danzel and Gerak decided to call it a day. Since it was already midnight by now, working on something wouldn´t make much sense.
At least that was Gerak´s case.
He has long ago gone into a state of fatigue in both mind and body. The dark circles under this eyes with this messy beard all betrayed the fact that he was tired. And it would even be weird if he wasn´t.
Since the past week, he didn´t do much except work, eat and sleep. Danzel even told him to take it easy and sleep more. He didn´t say that because he was feeling pity from this old dwarf, but rather a jealousy.
Although this undead body of his had quite some good traits on. It wasn´t everything rainbows and rays of sunshine.
The two biggest complaints that I had in this undead body would probably be this weight and the incapability to sleep.
The first has already been resolved with my armor adding in the weight that I originally hadn´t. But the latter was much more difficult to fix, if not impossible.
Most of the time I didn´t mind the fact that I couldn´t sleep, but sometimes when I was bored it felt like torture.
Nonetheless, though we getting out of topic. The reason why Gerak started to work so hard was probably because of me. He must have already noticed it.
The fact that I am working faster than he was.
"Wasting this sleep for something like this...stupid." Danzel genuinely meant that.
Although he liked to be as much efficient as possible with these methods, he didn´t mind if that guy would take it easier.
After all, what Danzel was doing was basically rushing to accomplish something while he holds immortality in this hands.
"I should probably distract myself with something before [Sin of Wrath] comes to play..." Having said that, the perfect idea to pass time came at me.
"Status..."

[Remark: A Undead of Superior Strenght. Though you completely merging your Lifeforce with your Undeath nature, you now became an Undead fuelled with pure dead mana and hate on the living. Such an achievement can only be seen by either talented or long-lived Undead.]
[XP: 130 625]
"What else is better than spending your wallet!" Danzel said with a mischievous grin on this face.
From the previous 4 625 that I had. I made a whole package of 126 000 XP in just a week! And that by just drawing runes!
Even though I almost stayed indoors the whole damn week.
I still will call it a win!
"Since I already got the goods...on what should I spend them on?" Danzel asked himself while looking through this whole status.
There were many chooses to pick from.
Should he upgrade these skills?
Buy more rune knowledge?
Or simply increase my class level?
"Hmm... I should probably stick to my previews plan rather than spend everything in a single thing." Clicking in the skill I wanted, I pressed the upgrade button.
[Curse of Vigor has increased from Lv.1 to Lvl.10!]
[The skill Curse of Vigor reached this maximum Level.]
[Curse of Vigor Lv.10 turns into Curse of Exhaustion Lv.1]
[Curse of Exhaustion]: A curse intended to exhaust one to these limits. It makes the victim of this curse lose more stamina and slowly draining this energy. If the curse it´s place enough long enough it´s starting to drain the very vitality of the unfortunate being hit by this spell. Until they become a mummy.
"Damn! A whole another level of improvement! With the 32 400 XP that I used, I could even say that this is my greatest buy till yet!" Danzel nodded to himself.
As the preview planned to get [Undeath Corruption Lv.1] 20% discount to get the Curse of Vigor to max level. In the results, though I gained far more than I thought I would. Although the [Undeath Corruption Lv.1] was expensive to get it was still worth it.
With now 98 225 XP left in my storage, I felt tempted to push it all into my classes level. But there was still one single skill that I wanted to max out too...
"Even though I currently am in a safe spot. Letting my strongest skill [Wind Blade] rot in Lv. 3 would be a crucial mistake If I find myself in a fight...But it's so damn expensive!"
`Upgrading it from Lv.3 to Lv. 4 would be a whole 11 000 XP! And a 1000 XP additionally for every single level!´
With a pained expression on this face ( he can´t make expression...) Danzel pressed on the upgrade button with a shaky finger.
[Wind Blade has increased from Lv.1 to Lvl.10!]
[The skill Wind Blade reached this maximum Level.]
[Wind Blade Lv.10 turns into Gale Mana Blade Lv.1]
[Gale Mana Blade]: The advanced martial art of Wind Blade. It´s sharper, stronger, and more durable than this previous inefficient technique. The mana inside the blade has been improved drastically.
"An overall improvement it seems, huh? Not bad, not bad..."
With the knowledge slowly going through my mind, I felt like someone answered an easy question that I struggled to solve.
How to draw mana into my sword faster and with more efficiency was solved by just upgrading this skill. If I were to use the [Gale Mana Blade] now, it would have double the range and speed of my previews one!
If I had any complaints it would probably be that the skill didn´t get any special abilities like the curse of vigor did.
"Maybe that´s the difference between magic and martial arts..?" After throwing himself in these thoughts and finding no answer to this question, he took the last peak in status.

[XP: 225]
"Agh..." Seeing how in an instant 98 000 XP were gone like they weren´t there in the first place I couldn´t help but groan in the pain that my wallet had felt.
"I should probably start solely leveling my classes the next time I got my hands in some XP... I guess I should start making some runes to-"
*Knock, Knock
Hearing the knocking on my door I subconsciously turned my head towards the opposite side of the door.
"Seriously..?" Looking at the light coming out of the window, my body shook slightly.
"How...?" Seeing how I once again lost myself in time I felt a sense of dread inside of me.
`How much longer would I had stayed inside here if I weren´t disturbed...?'
"Hey, Danzel! I come already out! I got something to tell you!" Gerak said behind my door.
"Coming..." Shaking this head from these thoughts, Danzel got up from this site and opened the door.
Looking at the serious face that he was making, Danzel frown slightly.
"So? Did call me to make some more runes? Just that you know I got some item already ready to be carved upon."Danzel pointed out at one chest with some swords of different sizes.
Shaking this head, Gerak brought some keys out and gave them to him.
"Those are..."
"It's the keys for the workshop. I came here to tell you that I will have to go out and buy some more supply before I can some new stuff."
"So you are saying that you will be gone for a day, right?" Daniel asked while this glance was on the keys.
"Basically, yes. I gave you the keys in case you were interested to go outside for once." Gerak replied.
"Sure..."
"Although I don't think that I need to tell you that, but make sure to lock the door before leaving..."
"Hmph, get lost already." Danzel scoffed out loudly.
"Alright then, I will see you tomorrow."
With the dwarf no more, I simply looked at the keys and the door of my room with a complicated expression (he can't make one).
"I guess taking a break wouldn't hurt much...."
