Chapter 12: Party FormationIris has been added to Party. Would you like to view party member stats?

  "What?"

  Like a fly buzzing in my face, the status window popped up again.

  So I can add people to my team?

  Interesting.

  "Dispy stats."

  —

  Name: IrisAge: 16Race: Human (Elf)Level: 1Strength: 23Agility: 33Intelligence: 55

  Skill: [Dominion’s Will] (Lv.1)An uncontrolble aura that causes slight disturbances around the user—causes others to feel a sense of fear or overpowering dread unintentionally. Corresponds to the user's emotional state.

  Passive: (Locked)

  —

  Wait.

  Why doesn’t she have HP and MP like I do?

  Is it because I’m not originally from this world?

  Or maybe it has something to do with her race?

  It says "Human," but next to it in brackets—"Elf."

  Weird.

  I thought elves had long, pointy ears. But Iris has normal human ears.

  I don’t get it.

  Wait—

  Family trees.

  That must mean one of her distant retives was an elf.

  Still, her stats are way higher than mine were at Level 1.

  Even her Intelligence is higher than mine...

  Is this thing calling me stupid?!

  But the most interesting part—

  Her skill.

  [Dominion’s Will].

  And just like mine, her passive is locked.

  —

  Would user like to activate EXP Share?

  EXP Share?

  So if I defeat an enemy, the EXP gets divided between us?

  That would be useful.

  If we both get stronger, it raises our chances of survival.

  "Activate."

  EXP Share has been activated.
