Tempest didn't see this panel because he was too busy scrubbing himself. Why wouldn't he? The black oily goo was such a horrid smell that I dare to claim, even the least picky nose in the world won't be able to last a minute right after smelling this horrible smell. His body slowly glowed in a golden light and Tempest brushed it off, thinking it was the lake's special property since the moment the horrid smell enters his nostrills, it disappears.
[Attribute Compression]
Compresses all attributes, 1 point will be 15 standard points.
[Attributes]
Strength: 10,838
Endurance: 10,837
Agility: 10,840
Tempest still hadn't noticed the panel beside him but the massive numbers quickly went down. Divide 10,838 by 15 and you will get 722.53, rounding it up, we will get 723. This is the strength attribute and the system was quickly calculating the other attributes.
[Compression Complete]
[Attributes] (Tier 1)
Strength: 723
Endurance: 722
Agility: 723
During the compression process, Tempest felt like a thousand needles were prickling him from the inside out as he felt warmth all over but the ignorant person he is, he only thought it was due to him furiously scrubbing his body that it can longer stand it. He can't help it, the expellation process isn't done yet.
[Notice]
You have gained a Tier 1 body, you are now eligible to take on your Tier 1 class change.
It was only then the compression process came into an end and the panel slowly faded, Tempest was still there, vigorously scrubbing himself. The effects of the pond was no longer useful in increasing the attributes since its only useful for players who hadn't acquired the Tier 1 body. But that limitation doesn't stop the rated guilds, players with tier 1 bodies make up the majority of their elite parties. It's been only a year since after the game's launch so having multiple players with tier 1 bodies is already impressive. But beating a tier 7 npc with multiple players who have tier 1 bodies is nothing but a pipe dream. Challenging the tier 1 class change isn't difficult but it varies to each player.

Expellation Process Complete
It was only then the black oily goo stopped seeping out from his pores. Tempest heaved a sigh of relief as he let himself float at the ponds surface, relaxing his tense muscles.

Reduces stamina consumption and lessens fatigue.
When Tempest saw this panel he was delighted. If two persons with equal strength fights, the one with the longer stamina wins. After a few minutes, he swam to the ponds shore and dried himself. As for his tunic and pants, it magically became clean and wore them. He then waved his hand:

"The panel this time looks more detailed..." Tempest said as he leaned closer as he massaged his chin. "Tier 1 huh? I don't know what that is and how did my attributes exceed the 100th mark?" He frowned as he doubled check to see if there was any problem. Tempest shrugged as he pressed yes on equip all.
His body then flashed briefly and his armor and swords came back into view as a inconspicious ring appeared on his finger. This time, Tempest didn't feel any weight at all, he even tested it as he performed a series of martial art moves in smooth motion. Back inside, he saw Edric quietly sipping another cup of tea and he looked at Tempest while sipping. "Anything?" Edric looked at him for a moment and sipped at his tea again. "Do you know the way back to Yellowstone village?" Tempest asked as he looked at Edric. 'He doesn't look like a middle-aged man at all' He thought.
"Oh, don't go back to that village. I will instead send you to Lunar-Stone City, its a major city in the Lunar-Stone Kingdom." Edric said as he continued sipping his tea. "How will you do that?" Tempest asked in a confused tone. "By doing this" Edric continued as he waved his hand, the space around Tempest rippled he then disappeared.

A figure appeared in a bustling streets, it was Tempest. He currently had a blank look then a voice sounded in his ears. "Kid, visit me in your spare time"

Favorability on Edric +300
One must know, getting a high favorability on a Tier 7 npc is extremely difficult and I mean it. Tempest saw this panel and shook his head, snapping himself off his reverie. He then looked around and saw a ton of players. There was a green diamond shape hovering at the top on every person. He only saw a few people without it, those are npc's.
Tempest saw a lot of players behind their stalls selling all kinds of items.
"Selling 16 stacks of rare herbs!"
"Willing to exchange equipment! Must be level 15 or above!"
"Trading 20 stacks of small health potions for 5 return scrolls!"
All kinds of businesses were on display. Setting up a stall for a day costs 10 copper coins which is equivalent to the daily income of an average player. The drop rate of the in-game currency was just abysmally low. "What should I do now?" Tempest was still cluelessly looking around but when the players saw his name tag, they avoided Tempest and gave way to him. Players with weaker mental resistance found themselves shuddering at the sight of him. He was looking at the stalls and marvelling the old age design of the buildings, Tempest even saw a blacksmith repairing a player's equipment.
[Tempest River] (Tier 1)
Slowly a crowd formed, silently following Tempest. Hushed voices and whispers can be heard in their group. "I wonder where this expert is going?" A player asked. "Who knows?" Another player replied and shrugged. Then Tempest stopped, a panel appeared in front of him saying:
[Log out?]
[Y/N]
He clicked yes, Tempest's avatar then dematerialized and vanished. He left the game, He was bored and he didn't know where he was going, except for browsing the surrounding stalls and getting suprised by each building he saw. In the game forums and official forums, a post titled 'Mysterious Expert' appeared. Its contents contained a clip of Tempest's quiet stroll in the city and his name tag [Tempest River] (Tier 1). Minutes later, this post instantly went viral and it caught the attention of various guilds and independent players.
