Chapter 5 - Small talk

The guide smiled at gabe and replied "You are currently in the first trial, a place of teaching. The only trial with guides so you should get as much help from us as you can before you go into the next trials." As he talked he made a gesture and caused a small flame to appear on his hand. "We can teach you magic and how to fight as well as survival skills and more that you will need to get through the next trials."

As he dismissed the flame he smiled "You have become a barbarian, a class who are known for their powerful rages and I will teach you that however first I want to speak about magic. I'm sure you saw the orb at the start so I will say it, it measures what type of magic you can use. Everyone can use only one type of magic and yours is ice magic as a guide I can teach you how to use it but more advanced applications are reserved for the magic classes."

Making sure to take everything in gabe asked "But what are the trials? Why am I here?" The guide sighed before replying "You will find that answer after the trials are done and your brought back to your world." Suddenly the guides eyes lit up "I'm sure you will be happy to hear though that even if you fail a trial or die you will still be brought to the next trial and so there is a 100% chance of returning to your home in the future." Gabe felt a little better hearing that but the guide then followed it up with "I wouldn't recommend failing or trying to die in any challenges though as they each give bonuses for completing them that can really help in the later trials. Even the experience itself of going into the trials is a valuable tool."

As gabe nodded in understanding he then looked into the guides eyes and asked "So what next?"
