'finally! it's over'

after quenching his thirst Arowen started reading the screens to get a good idea about what he earned through the struggle he went through and he was very happy that the tutorial was successfully completed, the rating though had him thinking

'an A rating should be quite good, if my knowledge of games held true in this new world I must have done a good job'

as our hero guessed, indeed he was awarded a good rating, the rating goes from F to A and then S, SS, SSS, the last three ratings are kind of heaven-defying results so it could be said that he got the highest rating possible, to get the last three he should have destroyed his enemies in seconds or something along those lines then he went through the rewards

'Attributes, what kind of skill is that' and so he opened his status screen to check on the description

Attributes this skill gives the user the ability to view his basic attributes and the ability to earn attribute point to freely distribute by accomplishing special achievement or certain tasks and quests, the skill also prevent the loss of attributes due to aging

Arowen was very happy to get this as a reward, when he first discovered the status screen he was disappointed that he could not see his attributes, he read a lot of novels before and always dreamed that he could have the ability to upgrade his attributes by simply adding points and grow super strong and now that was possible, unfortunately, he doesn't know that his dream will get crushed attribute points are not easy to earn

anyway, if the description wasn't clear, the Attributes allows a person to monitor his progress when it comes to his physical and mystical characteristics as they are shown in numerical values, and not only that but the attributes do not degrade, for example, if a man has 1 point in strength, that point will not decrease if he stops exercising like it normally happens in bodybuilding when a person could lift 100 kg and then he stops exercising for a few weeks and when he gets back to the training he would find himself lifting less weight, in this case with the Attributes skill even if he stops exercising for 20 years and he gets back to training the person with the Attributes skill will still be able to lift 100 kg if nothing out of the ordinary happens in that timeframe

another advantage the skill provides is that it allows a person to earn attribute points and then allocate them in whichever way you want, for earning points with each Rank Arowen improves after getting the skill he will get 1 point and with each Tier, he will earn 2 points to freely allocate but thas not all one could do to earn AP(Attribute Points) one could earn them if he accomplishes an extraordinary feat or achievement, and there are even some rare quests that award them, and then comes the distribution, the interface gives the user the possibility to increment his attributes with 0.1 AP as a minimum increment, so if you have 1 AP and you want to increase strength and agility for balance you could add 0.5 AP into each one of them, of course, Arowen wouldn't be able to understand all of the above just from the short description but more details were sent directly into his mind when he opened the description

'Attributes'

Attributes:

AP=0

Strength: 1.5 Dexterity: 1.3 Endurance: 1.2 Vitality: 1.1 Comprehension: 1.1 Will: 2

when he opened his attributes he was surprised by the numbers as they were all above average especially his will, from what he understood the average point for a Tier 0 Rank 1 (A/N: TnRn from now on with n => 0-9) is 1 AP on each Attribute

as for what each attribute means, the physical attributes are a standard thing, strength for muscle power, dexterity for nimbleness and hand eyes coordination amongst other things related to speed, endurance is how tough your body is, more specifically how much of a beating it can take before breaking and stamina, vitality is interesting and hard to explain clearly, i affects you regeneration, in general, be it form wounds or fatigue and it even has a relation to the lifeform level for an example if one creature wants to advance from tier 0 to tier 1 it will need an optimum of 10 vitality points to successfully advance no problems whatsoever, and a minimum of 8 could also work but to advance you will need to use an elixir or some other resources to help the creature push through the barrier

next, is Comprehension, this attribute is related to how fast you can grasp information and understand it as well as your memory capacity and thinking speed, in summary, it is very broad and we could say that it is related the computation power of an individual and then there is Will, this attribute is much harder to explain, it is related to the mental fortitude, this attribute is really hard to explain so for an example if your will is strong enough you could tear apart reality, create entire worlds just by willing it, but at the early stages the effect of this attribute could be felt in the control of energy and that concludes the "Attribute" Skill's explanation

the Skill was part of the reward energy crystals were another part, they are as the name suggest crystals full of pure energy even if of the lowest grade, Arowen stowed them away in his backpack which is surprisingly still intact even though it smelled a little bit of rot, the full heal is quite obvious and that leaves us with the final reward and as Arowen click on it a new screen shows up

Due to the exceptional score in the tutorial, you will be awarded a unique specialized reward that

you could have, it will be special and only you will possess it in the whole reality Make your choice:

-Skill

-Blessing

-Weapon

-Armor

-Familiar

....

the list of things that Arowen could choose from was really long, but he could not see the use of most of them some he didn' even understand what they were but it was his choice to make

"for me what matters is personal power so that leaves all things that will not strengthen me or could be lost or that is external in general"

and as he said that a lot of the options disappeared, he was surprised, but he didn't know that this help the system provides is only temporary to the tutorial afterwards he will not be given any help from the system like the explanation that is directly transferred to his brain

anyway leave it for him to discover later, after the list got down to 10 or so choices he thought a lot about it and chose the thing he understood the most ... he chose Skills
