Skills or inner strength — what do you level up first?

Imagine life as a role-playing game — your time and energy are finite points to spend.

Some people max out their skill tree first. Others raise their defense stat, or rush to unlock the map, or gather their party before setting out, or nurture their character's core stats before doing anything else.

No need to overthink it — the order that comes naturally to you is the shape of your growth instinct.
