When a character is created they are randomly sent to a starting village within one of the kingdoms. Originally Maverick spawned in a small village on the outskirts of the Elven Kingdom. This time however he spawned in a village called Redwater located in the Ebonfall kingdom. Within each starting village their are two buildings every new player must go to, The Training Hall for Strength based classes and The Wizard Tower for Intelligence based classes. In these buildings you learn the basic sword skills or basic magic skills while also having the ability to do specific training actions to raise your attributes. However, what players didn't know at the start of the game is after level 1 you cannot train your attributes. Maverick like most players skipped the training and went to directly start leveling up, it wasn't until a player made a forum post on how he was able to train until he gained a extra 100 strength stat points that players learned only level 1 accounts get this luxury. This was surely done as a balance choice what level 1 character would go through the trouble of training every single stat without leveling up. Only a few hundred out of the millions and maybe no one had done all the stats.
"Hmmm is it possible to train stats that don't belong to your class, like strength for a mage or intelligence for a warrior? Could you train all five main stats and get an extra five hundred stat points? That's the equivalent of fifty levels!!!" It took the first person a week straight of training to reach the limit, "if I combine strength, agility and stamina could I train all three in a week?" Maverick checked the internal clock installed in the Full Dive Headset and noticed he had played for about six hours out of the sixteen available. Maverick worked the closing shift at the gas station so he went in at noon and worked till they closed at nine. It had been six hours since he started playing so it was roughly five in the morning so Maverick decided to go to bed for the night. He would have the weekend off so after tomorrow he would have three straight days were he could play to his limit.
After cutting off the Full Dive Headset and making sure it was put up safely, he snuggled up under the covers and had passed out within five minutes of exhaustion.
Nine p.m was right around the corner, Maverick was fishing serving his last customers giddily awaiting the chance to log back into Sanctuary. After closing at work and cooking dinner for him and his sister, Maverick once again later back down and placed the Full Dive Headset on. Logging back into Redwater, Maverick hadn't payed much attention to town but after noticing it was quite a small yet cozy village. The people while looking slightly starved still had a warm atmosphere around them. Alatar walked down the village roads until reaching a hugely built training center. After walking in Altar didn't have to go looking for the trainer, he saw the huge six foot three man who muscles alone looked like they could crush him walking towards him. In a rough yet friendly voice the man asked "How can I help you young man, are you here to train?" Maverick knew he had to give a strong answer to the trainer, after all he would be spending the next week if not more alongside him. "Yes sir I am here to train my body!" Maverick exclaimed proudly. A slight smile appeared on the trainers face before he loudly exclaimed "hahaha young man my name is Frost, tell me what should I call you?"
"My name is Alatar sir." Frost took a glance at Alatar, sizing him up before saying "Alatar if you wish to train your body then you can follow me but I can sense that your are a Mage, most of the time they don't train their body's." Alatar was visibly shocked, how could Frost sense that he was a mage. "Being a mage doesn't matter I still wish to train my body" Alatar responded back. After following Frost, Alatar arrived at a wall full of weights ranging from ten pounds all the way up there what seemed like five hundred pounds. Frost turned towards Alatar before telling him "you free to use any of the weights on this wall, I'm expecting great things from you Alatar it's not every day someone wishes to push themselves to the limits, don't let me down." After walking away Alatar got a system notification showing him [Affinity with Frost increased by 50]
Altar walked up to the ten pound weights before grabbing two of them and starting a rep set, in real life Maverick had never gone to a gym or done any mild exercise for his body which resulted in him having a horrible physique. One rep sat consisted of 12 repetitions, after two sets Alatar got the system notification of [+1 strength]. Altar repeated the process for eight more sets before realizing that he could only gain five points of strength from each weight but surprisingly he also gained a stamina stat point. Alatar decided to test his luck, could he weight lift while also doing cardio if so wouldn't this not only increase his strength and stamina but also his agility. Thus Alatar began running around the training hall while also lifting fifteen pound. After completing his 10 rep sets his assumption was correct he could train his strength, stamina and agility this way. Frost noticed that the mage boy he had showed to the weights was not only weight training but also doing cardio and couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.
