Kain surveys the building. The front display store is small, around 25 square feet. On the right wall is where he displays his weapons. There are only three, and they're weak. Just a couple of swings and they'll break. To the left is a cobbled wall with just a door in the middle. Front and center is a small wooden bar, with another door behind it. Everything was covered in black shoe prints and fingerprints.
Kain confidently strides to the left door that Vulcan said he could find the items to clean. He opens the door and immediately notices a handy straw broom and a pile of rags. Kain thinks to himself, "At least it's clean in here."
He takes the broom and starts to sweep the floor, but quickly realizes that it's not getting rid of the prints effectively.
Kain resolves himself to scrubbing the floor with the rag. This takes him about 10 mins before he collapses back on the floor he seemed to forgotten that he was still starving.
Vulcan walks back in with some bread tossing it to Kain and walking back into the forge.
Kain didn't catch the bread landing on the floor, but he didn't need to. Kain grabbed it up like a wild animal and started to eat it at a speed that would make even the fastest competitive eaters envious. Kain didn't care that Vulcan left soot-covered fingerprints all over it or that it rolled on the ground. After all, for someone who lived in the modern time, you're not used to starving or going without.
Kain choked down the dry, soot-covered bread and sat there for another 10 minutes, giving his body time to process the meal. He knew he'd better get back to work. He'd noticed that cleaning up after Vulcan here was becoming a bit of a challenge.
Situps 10/10 Swats 10/10
Kain finished the sit-ups by falling and getting back up. He finished the swats by cleaning and swatting to clean.
Looking at the place it still is dirty but it looks slightly better.
Kain: I would have done better if I had some water, but it doesn't matter. as long as I get some food.
Vulcan comes out and looks around, saying, "You did only that in five hours. Tsk, tsk."
I could have made it look better if I had some water and better cleaning supplies.
Vulcan, "you should have just asked or gone to the river right behind the workshop."
Kain...
Vulcan says, "Don't try to fool me. You know as well as I do that a river runs right through the city. It also serves to separate people." All the unworthy, unskilled people are on this side of the river, and all the talented folks are on the other side.
Kain, I want to know more about these talents.
Vulcan looks confused and states, "I know that schooling isn't available on this side of the river, but it's clear that we all have natural abilities. For example, I was born with the talent of hammering. When I hammer, it's easier to make it. It's effective for shaping metal into the desired form, but I still need to improve the other skills. These innate abilities are far more straightforward to develop than the other skills you can gain. Before you ask, skills can be obtained by meeting the criteria for that skill. For instance, to gain the skills of a swordsman, you simply need to swing a sword continuously.
Jobs are the key to fast-tracking your skills to the next level. Once you reach level 10 on a skill and max it out, it will evolve into a more advanced form..
Kain, I'm ready to get started. When can I pick a job and what are the available positions?
Vulcan takes a deep breath, listens, and chooses a path. There are many paths to choose from, The artisan path or the fighter path. There are main choices, but i will mention the most common ones first.
Swordsman, Frontliner, Brawler, Mage (select element), Rouge, Priest, and Warrior.
And the artisans: the blacksmith, the tailor, the builder, the cook, the enchanter, and the alchemist.
I could name a few more, but you get the idea. The classes you choose are usually based on your natural talent. Take me, for instance. I was born with hammering and got the option of becoming either a blacksmith or a skull crusher. I went with skull crusher because it sounded cooler, even though it wasn't as impressive as it seemed. Instead, I got a passive skill called skull crusher.
SkullCrusher: 15% more damage to the head.
It's nice, but you can't always hit the head, so I'm on this side of the river even though I was born on the other. As I said earlier, your talent decides where you live in this city.
Kain, I'm waiting for you to tell me how I get a job.
Vulcan, I was getting to that you must first reach level 10 .
Kain, Level?
Vulcan, at the age of 14, you will undergo an awakening that bestows upon you an interface you can view and interact with, invisible to all others unless they possess the ability to see it..
Notice I am different then other systems I have AI
Kain thought to himself, "I am different, but to what extent, I am not sure. I don't want to look stupid. I'll keep it to myself for now.
