Caspian woke up in a cold sweat though the cold… stone beneath him was a welcome discovery. Why was he lying on stone? When had he gotten here? Everything felt weird and far away like a dream. As he pulled himself up, he felt bigger than he should but also noticed that that weird pane box thing he saw in his dream was still there … and it followed him when he turned his head. Focusing back in he realized it had changed from his dream, which seemed less and less likely to be a dream.

Note: More experience is required for stable ascension
Continue? Y/N
‘Nope definitely gonna wait for the stable version of that’ Thought Caspian. Now the question was just how to get experience. Should he try to find a weapon? Perhaps build a shield or something for protection not to mention armour and the like. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to go full combat with no knowledge of this new world but hey the other option seemed boring as hell so no going back now.
Looking around Caspian found himself in a long dark tunnel a dungeon perhaps or an underground city? Maybe there were dwarves or something? Goblins? With no real expectations and nothing appearing when he focused on his fighter class, he delved down the hall into the darkness.
Maybe 50 feet down the hall the light of what he was now realizing was the only torch nearby right where he woke up was barely illuminating anything. He kept walking keeping his eyes moving in case he wasn't the only thing in the tunnel. Nothing for what seemed like hours just a straight damp hallway devoid of light looking back he could not see the torch anymore but somehow he could still see though minimally. Suddenly a soft chime rang in his ear.

New Skill!
New Skill: Dark Vision Lvl 1
-See in the dark and never lose your way
‘Wow ho ho a real skill’ Caspian thought as his vision became slightly clearer a vague outline of the hallway becoming more clear as it extended further. Maybe he could gain some new skills from just doing things to prepare for when he ran into a fight. Not an hour later he was rewarded with a soft chime in his ear.

Not much more than a positive message but results were results and with more dark vision came the realization that something was moving at the other end of the tunnel. Caspian moved slowly forward unsure exactly what to do when he saw what seemed to be a boar or pig or some other swine though this one had 4 tusks two horizontal ones like a regular boar and 2 that pointed down like a sabertooth tiger. As Caspian watched it ram the wall the knowledge of what it was floated through his head. Four Tusk Boar: Easy. Not exactly sure what to do with the information Caspian snuck closer ... and closer. So close he was now standing next to it without it noticing. As he looked at the massive pig he felt his stomach rumble. Not having any food for hours would sure make a man hungry perhaps he could cook this pig somehow or eat it raw. He knew you couldn't eat raw chicken cause of some bacteria but was the same for pork? Magic pork?
Caspian was pulled out of his thoughts as the boar rushed him seemingly able to have heard his stomach Caspian did the first thing he could think and punched it in the top of its head the Four Tusk Boar was immediately driven a half-inch into the floor stopping its motion as it dug a small furrow with its snout.

Power flooded Caspian as the notifications rolled across his vision.
Fighter class upgrade available!
Become Brawler?
Y/N
A brawler certainly sounded more specific than a fighter and specifics usually meant power in games. But was Caspian a brawler? Hed always thought of himself as more of a Mage type though he supposed there wasn't much to do about that having already gotten the fighter class. He accepted the upgrade.
Lvl 1
Class: Brawler
Subclass: Attempt Ascension?
Blessing: Attempt Attunement?
Path: UNKNOWN
Well, he had an actual level now so that was cool but not too much else he wanted some cool new skill like a teleport or shadow blade or to conjure a sword or other weapon already. As he contemplated where to go from here he paused to admire the furrow in the ground the boar had made. Was he that strong? Also, why was the boar so easy? He understood that that's quite literally what its info said but still one punch from him and it was just, what, dead? The body didn't disappear so that was nice could be food. Kneeling he touched the corpse and found his little clear pane reappear before his eyes.
Would you like to loot this Corpse with current tools?
Y/N
Did he need tools? Did he have tools? He selected yes either way may as well try. Before him appeared a pile of sausages, pork chops, and the 4 tusks all laid out on what appeared to be a piece of the boar hide now made into leather or something like it. He picked up the raw meats and tasks holding them in bewilderment. What happened did this boar actually turn into its component loot? Did this mean tools would add some new features to the process? Excited and very hungry he bit into one of the pork chops tearing it from the bone.

-Bonuses to new paths
-Bonuses to skill upgrades and fusions
As more power flowed through Caspian so did a sickly feeling. He definitely shouldn't have eaten raw meat. Feeling the meat return from his stomach his head got light as he vomited across the ground in front of him dropping and immediately falling onto his new loot and the sharp end of one of the tusks.
Caspian was awoken by a loud ringing in his ears and a dull pain in his stomach.

You have gained an Achievement!
You are now Lvl 5!
Level 5!! What the flip had happened to him his face felt slimy and there was still a pain in his stomach rolling onto his side he was able to feel consciousness slowly beacon him back to reality. As he combed through his notifications and there were a lot he learned two things. One raw meat was poisonous and two he had just gotten very very very lucky.
In between the roughly 100 you've gotten poisoned by raw meat notifications were ones for the fact that whatever he had eaten had restored a slight bit of health and supposedly that boar meat was able to neutralize a small amount of poison. He had been left with roughly 3 health of his supposed 50 maximum though without the window giving him specifics he couldn't tell maybe it was 1 or 10 or something. Whatever the case he had gained levels in Poison Resistance, Self Heal, a new skill called Brawlers Resolve, and a new skill called Disciple of Entropy.
Brawlers Resolve:
-Gain a boost to resistance against all that might try and corrupt your will
-Steady forth warrior what you do not fear can not hurt you
Disciple of Entropy:
-Bring forth that which has been lost lose that which was brought forth
-You hold the endless cycle in your mind and bend its forces to help you on your journey Ascendant
