"Congratulations, Theo, you have leveled up to Level 14! Both levels were gained in the White Sands of Ard Andoren! As a reward for leveling up, you will be allowed to pick one Skill to upgrade. You have two pending Skill Upgrades. You have been granted Racial Rewards. Congratulations once again."
>Private Message: Level 14 Racial Reward - Title 'Human Condition, Mitigated I'
Theo was slammed with information as the knowledge of his new title flowed into his head.
>Private Message: Please select one Skill to upgrade.
Theo had hoped to get one level, but had gotten two. He selected the first Skill he had planned on upgrading.
>Private Message: Skill 'Bounty of the Earth' Has been upgraded to Rank A- from Rank B+. The Rate at which you scale with your worked land has increased.
>Private Message: Please select one Skill to upgrade.
Theo shrugged and selected Dimensional Storage.

Increased Storage dimension growth from 12" per level per side to 16" per level per side. Total storage now available: 6504 Cubic Feet.
"I have an interdimensional warehouse," Theo said, amused.

"That must mean that each temporary rune counts as an individual use of the skill." She thought to herself. Then she got a message that she was starting to become somewhat familiar with.
"Congratulations, Julia, you have leveled up to Level 14! Both levels were gained in the White Sands of Ard Andoren! As a reward for leveling up, you will be allowed to pick one Skill to upgrade. You have three pending Skill Upgrades. You have been granted Racial Rewards. Congratulations once again."
>Private Message: Level 14 Racial Reward - Title 'Human Condition, Mitigated I'
Julia felt the information fill her mind.
>Private Message: Please select one Skill to upgrade.
Julia was curious. Part of her wanted to lean into her Ward damage more if she could. But after their selections in the dungeon point shop, she knew that combat would be a part of their life, but they were planning to spend more time on the Overlook. She thought about that for a moment, then selected Runecarver's touch twice for the increased number of permanent runes.
>Private Message: Skill 'Runecarvers Touch' Has been upgraded to Rank A- from Rank B. Increased Damage Multiplier from 1.30 to 1.60. Increased number of possible permanent Wards from 130 to 160.
She thought for a moment more and then selected Hearthwarden's Vigil.
>Private Message: Skill 'Hearthwarden's Vigil' Has been upgraded to Rank C from Rank C-. The number of people you can track increased from 1.1 times level to 1.3 times level.
Julia nodded to herself.

"We are just making all kinds of gains today," Theo muttered under his breath.
"True," Julia said.
"Alright," Theo said, "do we do the Cliffhounds, or do we go check on everyone else?"
"Let's go get the Grublix and have a pet day," Julia said with a smile. "We might want to bring Ordus and Sarah. Ordus, because I have seen him around the Grublix cage quite a bit. Sarah, because pets."
"True," Theo said, heading off, and Julia kept pace. In the distance, the peal of a hammer striking metal could be heard, so they headed that way.
