"Let me explain to you what all these words mean, it's probably the first time you've seen some of these words." Daiine continued after giving her explanation on ents.
"Yes please, I don't recognized a lot of these words"
"Let's start from the top. Your name is obviously your name, Ashkyr. We just discussed your race, HP is...."
*Ah... Daiine has entered full teacher mode, I won't be able to take break until the sun sets now.. Oh well, there's nothing I can do now, pay attention, pay attention* (Ashkyr's inner thought)
"... And MP represents your maximum mana. Do you understand so far Ashkyr?"
"Yes Daiine, HP, health points, is you maximum health and MP is your maximum mana...but what happens if they reach zero?"
"Well if your health drops to zero you die. This is one of the few ways beings like you and me with infinite lifespan can die. Be careful to make sure to never let your HP become zero. On the other hand, if your mana reaches zero you will suffer from mana fatigue. Mana is the energy that flows through everything, living and non-living alike. Technically it is possible to complete deplete your self of mana and die but as a safety against that you will faint from mana fatigue before you completely run dry and kill yourself. That being said running out of mana in most situations means death. If you faint from mana fatigue in battle, you will most certainly be killed by your opponent. So you must always be conscious of how much mana you have remaining, is that understood Ashkyr."
"Yes Daiine. "
"OK, moving on then."
"Wait, wait Daiine. It's clear that HP represents my health and how I can lose HP but, how do I lose MP?" I pipe up.
"Wonderful question Ashkyr, but patience, I'll explain it when we start discussing skills." Daiine responds lovingly.
"OK"
"So, then where were we... Ah, levels. Your level represents how much experience you've gained throughout your life. Simply put the higher your level the stronger you become. The Exp shows you how much more experience you currently have. In your status it says 80%, correct? That would mean you need 20% more experience to level up. Now from here on things get a little more complicated to so pay careful attention Ashkyr. "
" Yes Daiine. " I respond obediently.
" Next we will go over 'titles' and 'classes'. In this world those who try are rewarded while those who do not, aren't. You may have noticed that all your stats are rather low. Yes your are only level 4 so you wouldn't expect it to be high but, even still it is considerably low. That is because every creature that is born always starts with 1 in all it stats and gains one in each Stat each time it levels up. As you might have noticed by now, that won't allow you to get very strong. The way to become strong is to collect as many titles as possible. Most titles give an increase in our status. Some will only give a predetermined amount while others will multiply them. The problem with obtaining a title is that until one gains said title they won't know how to obtain it or what effects the title has. Lucky for you I happen to have been alive a more than a millennium and have obtained several titles since my birth, so do not worry little Ashkyr, I will teach you all that I know. "
" Thank you Daiine. " I say. I truly am grateful that I met Daiine, I can now continually satisfy my curiosity.
" Now that you understand a bit more about titles, would you like to aquire one right now?" Daiine asked.
" Really, I can get one right now!?" I respond excitedly. "What do I need to do?"
"It's nothing too difficult, do you remember when we spoke of parents?"
"Yes" I nodded.
"Well most creatures have two parents a father and a mother. I would like to be your mother Ashkyr."
Daiine wants to bey mother? Can she just choose to be my mother, I thought you had birth an offspring to become a parent. Well Daiine must know more than me so I shouldn't need to worry about it. But... my original mother left me, in fact I've never met her. Is that what mothers do?
" Will we still be able to be together after you are my mother?" I ask hopefully.
With a loving smile Daiine answered, "Of course Ashkyr, we can be together forever if you'd like?"
"Really? Then please be my mother, I would love that."
"You have acquired the title 'A Dragons Child (L)'."
As I accepted Daiine as my mother a notification came. I've gained a new title and a mother! What a wonderful day it is.
"Look Daiine I got a new title."
When I looked over at her she had a surprised look herself, but upon hearing me she quickly recovered and responded, "Wonderful, let's read what it says."
"OK" I reopen my status window and find the new title.
'A Dragons Child (L) '
-You are loved by a dragon and have been adopted. As the child of a legendary creature you will grow to be very powerful. 20% boost to all stats.
"wow" I look with amazement at my new title. Of course I have no idea how good a 20% boost in my stats is but this is proof that I can be with Daiine forever, that alone brings me more happiness than I've ever felt. Although I'm in a blissful state, that doesn't change my curiosity.
"Daiine, what does the (L) next to the title mean?"
"That is the rank of the title, my child. There are six ranks to a title starting with: Common (C), Uncommon (UC), Rare (R), Unique (U), Legendary (L) and Mythical (M). The higher the rank the more powerful effects the title will have. Both of the title you have now are legendary titles, that is more than most creatures will ever see in there lifetime. Aren't you a lucky one."
"I'm not lucky, I just have a mother who loves me, that's all" I say back.
