Chapter 3 - Can I be a Magician? (3)

~~City of Asgard, Drunk Whale Inn~~

"Hey, Andrew! I'm taking my break, cover for me will ya?" Daher shouted out before bowing slightly. As Daher led Lucas out of the inn, the energy in it slowly began to rise as people started talking about what happened.

The inn was sparked with a new life, as people from outside went inside to hear the drama, increasing business and sales. And just the mood of the town overall increased that day.

"Did... Did you know?" Lucas asked, quite taken aback by his previous response. "Didn't you find your growth strange? Even a genius wouldn't grow that quickly... But it's not all bad." Daher replied, consoling the man.

"You get to start from scratch, and you won't go in with a beginner's stupidity, you probably have a bunch of skill and stat points saved up." Daher took a long pause giving Lucas time to absorb the situation.

"Hey, maybe you accidentally unlocked something new. The fact you never used any skills always terrified me, you were still quite effective." Daher laughed and was quite cheery before patting Lucas's shoulder.

"But now, you can be twice as effective and defeat those adventurers gloating before, isn't that nice?" Daher gripped his shoulder tighter before slapping him on the back and standing up.

"Get some rest alright, don't want the top-grossing adventurer of Asgard to lose a fight due to lack of sleep, and hey it'll help you understand the situation." Daher slipped Lucas a small blue coin called "Pil" which is worth 10 Gal into his back pocket. "Good luck, and remember that I will always be with you."

Daher got up and left, leaving Lucas to think it over by himself while staring at the blue screen displaying him. "A fresh start, huh? I wonder what this can do." 

Daher ran back while yelling "WAIT I FORGOT TO TELL YOU! FIRST YOU NEED TO LEVEL UP! God how did I forget the most important thing, you don't know anything!" Daher leaned on Lucas's shoulder while panting slightly, getting used to suddenly breaking out in a sprint.

"Alright, follow me. I'll teach you everything you need to know about your system." Daher got up and straightened his pose, placing his hands on his hips and forcing his back to be straight.

Lucas slowly stood up, still not believing this was real. "So how does this work? The heck IS a system?" Daher just kind of shook his head while replying "Hey, don't question a gift from the gods, you want to be cursed or something?" Daher placed his arms behind his head and just walked along the path. "Come on."

Lucas scampered towards Daher and then gently mellowed to a regular walking speed. "So it all starts with you leveling up, you see your level? If you think about leveling up and you have enough experience, you will. You gain 5 stat points per level up and every 2 levels will gain skill points equal to your insight."

"And no you can't raise your insight with stat points. Also, stats are distributed like this, if you have around 100 points it's as if a person trained their entire life for it. And if a person has more than 130 then that stat is superhuman."

"There are three types of abilities, leveling, evolving, and final. Leveling abilities grow alongside you and when maxed can lead to a better ability, Evolving abilities require specific knowledge or deeds done to turn a skill into a better one. Final Abilities are the pinnacle, if anyone surpasses a final ability they will gain recognition from the gods."

"Speaking of abilities, every Title, Ability, and item has a rating, which determines how hard it was to get, how strong its effects are, or what its origins are. It goes from Common to Mythical."

"You can open up the ability shop, or the stat shop by simply thinking or saying it out loud. You can interact with a system panel through the thought of an action or physically doing it. Any questions?"

"What's the inventory?" Lucas asked curiously. Daher answered quite easily, "Inventory? It's somewhere you store and view over items. Just think of putting away or equipping an item and it will either go in or come out of the inventory."

A dagger appeared in Daher's hand then quickly disappeared before summoning a sword. "Oops, you weren't... supposed to see that. *AHEM* ANYWAYS!" Daher quickly changed topics so as not to call attention to his mistake.

"Anyway, I believe you can figure out the rest by yourself, it's pretty self-explanatory, if you ever want to view a skill, item, or title in detail just think about learning about it." Daher began walking away "I'll try this again, good luck."

"Alright, Daher... Thank you." "Thank you..." Lucas just held his hands together and laid back on the grassy field. "Skill Shop, was it?"
