Chereads / The Path to Difficult Life / Chapter 10 - STATUS

Chapter 10 - STATUS

It's morning. A ray of sunlight came through a small opening of window in my little room. I wake up and stretch my arm atop of my head. Hehe, good morning sunshine.

I remember this inn will prepare breakfast. I wonder if the aunty was already cooking at this time. I already investigated this floor yesterday and apparently there is no room for bathroom or toilet. Oh man, where is my human right?

I come down to first floor to ask fresh water from owner.

"Oh, you're already wake up. I had already prepared the breakfast meal today. You can use the well behind this back door to wash your face."

Oh, a well. You guys did not have water pump or at least a hosepipe?

"Thanks, auntie. I will eat breakfast after this."

Then I go to back door. There is no people here. I wonder if I'm the first person wake up. I observe the well that made up from stone. There was pulley that hang from the top of well which supported by small roof.

I pull the rope to raise the bucket from the bottom depth of well. I use the water to wash and rinse my face. The coldness of water shock my mind and I have become in fresh state.

I enter the inn and sit at empty table. I see there is already three people who eating their meal. The aunty immediately bring the plate to my table.

My first breakfast in this world is pancake and fruity jam. My drink is a glass of milk. Not a bad choice.

I got no comment for meal except it is delicious and yummy. I spread the sweaty jam on pancake. I can taste that the pancake is fluffy in my mouth like I chew the cloud. It is worth to pay 50 Gal per night here.

After I finish drink the milk, I go back to my room. I take my guide book at the table and try to read it again. This time I want to focus on class area.

The book said that the school can accept full time or part time student. Each category has their own course of syllabus.

Full time student must learn all skill that exist in their class and master it before graduation. Usually student stay at school for three or four years, depend on their talent. They have chance to involve in management and leadership at school. Their career option is more brighter than part time student.

While part time student only be taught in certain part of skills. If they want to learn more, they need to pay more higher to hire another tutor. They don't have any graduation day and the learning time end when they can master their skill.

Full time student learn both theory and practical skill while part time student only learn little in theory and more focused in practical skill.

As for me, I decide to choose to become part time student so I have got more time to my adventurer job and investigate more about this world. I mean who want to get cramp in high school for another four years. I choose freedom over prison.

Next question, which class I want to choose? Do I want to become a swordsman or be priest to heal myself? I interested to have two or three classes but the time is limited. I can't spend all days to just practice my skills.

The book adviced the beginner to choose the class that suitable to their status. To see your status, you must chant and imagine to reveal your own status. Everybody can see their own status but it is hard to read other people's status except if they have got permission to see it.

So, I can see my own status. Interesting. Chant the word. Imagining your status like futuristic interface. I think I know the word. The book also list some words to chant the status.

Alright.

"Reveal, status open!"

Ching!!

Then a white hologram panel appear in front of me. The screen size is same to my laptop display. I can see my own information. Wow, is this my status?

Wow, it's amazing, I proud to be alive in magical world.

Level is the progression of people stats and abilities. The higher the level, the stronger you became. Normally adult people's level is over 10, so my level is kind of low compared to other.

Title is the recognition of group of people toward someone. It is to dictate one position among themselves. Good title can boost your stats while bad title can be a curse to your stats.

My title is the lost traveler. So that's mean this world recognize me as people from other world. But I don't know what's the effect this title to me.

Strength refer to how much strong you can be physically.

Speed is your agility which the quickness of your motion either in running or fighting.

Endurance refer to your stamina or energy point.

Magic power is the strength of your magic. Having higher magic power mean you can do more magic damage to enemy.

Mana point refer to your magical energy. More mana point you have, more magic skill you can use.

Intelligent refer to your knowledge and cognitive capacity. Is that mean my IQ level is 80? No, no, I was a degree graduate, my IQ should be 120 point.

Life point is your health point. If your life point become zero, you will not die but you will enter the state of weakness. At this point you can lose ability to use skill and you even can loss consciousness. You can die if you sustain more damage in this state.

Skill is ability or expertise of the people. The highest level of skill can be attained is 10. Level 10 of skill is already showing your skill at the peak point.

One of my skills is linguistics master. My level is 7. So that's why I can understand other world language. The first day I came here I can already understand foreign language.

I can use my fiery hand due to my fire magic and because I attack the thief with my axe, I own the axe art. So if you practice hard enough, you can get the skill and master it.

Aside of my status information, I don't know if my stats is higher or lower. I don't know other people stats and it's kind of rude to suddenly ask them to show me their status.

The book adviced is someone undecided to choose a class, they can get an assist from priest at temple with a fee. The priest will use the item to analyze your status and recommend your class.

But the priest can only see status that you give permission to see. If i choose to show my skills but hide my title, the priest can only see my skills but not my title. This is good for me if I want to hide the fact that I am other world people.

But high level priest has appraisal eye which can cover the hidden status. I need to be discreet with this type of priest but the book mention that all priest treat people status confidentially. They had took a oath to never leak any information about other people status except to king and royalties. This is one of duties as priest.

So before I register at any academy or school, I need to visit the temple first. The temple is situated at north area. It is look like the location is a bit far from middle junction.

Each city has one temple to accommodate the necessity of citizen. The temple is responsible to bless the newborn to increase the stats. They can also provide medical assistance by using healing magic. So if anyone want to have a class of priest or learning healing magic, they can get tutor from the priest.

Magic academy is also able to teach healing magic but the difference is healing magic of magic academy is normal type while the temple teach the holy type. Normal healing magic is capable to heal the physical wound and holy healing magic is same as the normal type with additional can dispel curse and fight evil being.

In other word, holy healing magic is more superior than normal one.

Then, I exit the inn and set the temple as my new direction.
