*Congratulations, Your Thrall “Apex Banshee ‘Terra’ has destroyed all the Goblin Forces within Tutorial 1.2.
*Congratulations, you have beat the current time record for 1.2! You have earned the title “Speed Runner”. While you hold the number one position you have gained the
*You have reached level 5!
Bert: “Looks like I gained a new
Gabe: ‘How did you get another
Gabe (Battle Monk): “His ‘Apex Banshee’ has killed the entire goblin army, in what less than 5 minutes?” My Avatar explained getting another umph from Gabe as he took it in.
Gabe: ‘What level is the Banshee?’ Gabe asked hesitantly to believe what we were telling him.
Bert: “100” I simply stated, as I looked at the Banshee ‘Terra’ in her human form before me. I would need to get her new clothing; my hormones were going crazy. It was very difficult for me to think.
Gabe: ‘Well normally that’s max level… Most intelligent creatures never make it over level 50… With this… it will be difficult for us not to defeat the dungeons within Hell…’ Gabe stated…
This seemed to rub me wrong… Even if that was true, I wanted to stay in the tutorial if I could before I go back.
Gabe: ‘
I had no idea what Celestial Beings are… but I could imagine some kind of powerful race perhaps.
I decided to ignore everything for now and go back into myself and I began to create my new ‘Apex Banshee’ spells throwing them into my inventory once I was done. I was able to pull my Mana faster than the Death God was allowing to flow, I could feel his surprise at how fast I drained the well. That was only creating 10 Apex banshee Spells.
I could feel he wanted to speak with me, but I just ignored him while I grabbed what remained and began converting it into my ‘Father of Nature’ Mana. By time my Black Tar was full I had a good amount of green Mana.
As I came out of my Mana, my Avatar’s experiences seemed to catch up with me, it seemed while I was sitting there meditating Gabe decided to work on my Avatar even harder. Something about keeping up with the ‘Necromancer’; from which he was referring to my newest creation. Gabe had then explained to my Avatar that each gate is equivalent to 15 levels. So that would be level 90 for about 10 seconds with the sixth Gate open.
I chuckled at him trying to catch up, because technically I could summon 10 more Apex Banshee’s instantly… That’s 11 level one hundred Banshee’s!
Bert: “Well shall we move on? Or take advantage of the remaining time?” I asked out loud technically by myself, as everyone I was speaking to was in my head. That gave me another short chuckle, which my Avatar also did.
Gabe: ‘I think the most important thing is to figure out how to level your Avatar ability’ Gabe gave his short input.
Bert: “We hit level 5 already… Do you know what 1.3 will be like?” I asked suspecting he might since he already gave hints of something near the end.
Gabe: ‘The Tutorial Levels are known all throughout the Edge Universe, The Skaven’s in 1.1, Goblins in 1.2, 1.3 Consists of the undead which technically shouldn’t be too tough for us, since you have a level 100 anyways. 1.4 consists of crazed humans with a mix of deadly spell casters. It’s usually that level that most teams do not make it through. 1.5 is against the “Immortal King” which has all the creatures fought up to that point for each team that makes it through. It is on this level that everyone throughout the Edge Universe or within the System that can watch. Not on TV like your use to with the human’s technology but through a “Rune System” that enables people from all over to watch each new generation of Tutorial groups trying to make it past the “Immortal King”.
Gabe: It’s because of that level that Players as they are called are waiting to accept their tutorial Invite so they have more levels and can get past the “Immortal King”. Getting past him alone guarantee’s an Innate skill which is different every few Generations. Speed Runners is the most coveted slot, but most of them are already with a race known as the “Ancient Humans” which are nearly all gods now.’ Gabe was in his professor mode right now.
Thinking about being televised I began to think about me being a Ragnarök, even as a Ragnarök Candidate, might get me the wrong attention.
Bert: “Will they be able to see my status, or my titles at all?” I asked Gabe, taking advantage of his pause.
Gabe: ‘Most will be able to see your short status, which is your name, and your level. Gods with admin rights to the System will be able to see your Stats, your Race, and your Class. With the Race since you’re technically a “RaceBody” what ever you have as the choice is what they will see.’ Gabe explained knocking me for a loop.
I was wondering why my stats had “RaceBody” I figured it was just part of the System describing what my race was.
Bert: “What do you mean? Do I have the ability to change forms?” I asked out loud.
Gabe: ‘Again, you should watch what you say, while no’ one should be able to see or hear you, the System still can. To answer your question, yes you are technically a shape shifter, except you can change into any form you see or understand in your head. How you do that I don’t know. Right now, it doesn’t matter we need to concentrate on what we can do.’ Gabe explained.
Bert: ‘Well, if you’d like to continue teaching my
Gabe: ‘You should try praying to the ‘Father of Nature’, You should explain in your prayer that you are the child of Jehovah, and you’d like to keep that bit hidden. That Greater God was very close with Jehovah, so he can be trusted to keep your Stats a secret.’ Gabe explained.
Bert: ‘Is it like the Humans on Earth praying to a God?’ I asked, making sure there wasn’t something different from this Alien Universe.
Gabe: ‘Yes, once you think about who you’re praying too, it pretty much opens that little chat window in the System, except unlock how Susej runs the show with no god intervention these Gods are different if you’re relevant. Which I’m positive you will count as definitely Relevant as you might know how he is hiding.’ Gabe explained.
Bert: ‘But I don’t know how he’s hiding…?’ I questioned.
Gabe: ‘Neither of us know how he’s hiding, but they don’t need to know that.’ Gabe explained, surprising me. Isn’t he supposed to be an Angel?
Bert: ‘Okay I’ll start my praying’ I explained as I could through my Avatar see that Gabe started explaining to my Avatar that they were going to work on endurance while holding the sixth Gate open.
I decided to say it through my mental speak once again but aimed at this ‘Father of Nature’ Greater God of the something Sands. ‘Dear, umm Father of Nature… I pray to you now from the Tutorial, I’m not familiar with this System or even the Edge Universe, as I come from outside of the System where Jehovah has…’ has what? I tried to think quickly. ‘Protected me and others from this System. I’ve found myself here with a hidden Class a
As soon as I finished the word I received a notification, from which I quickly opened.
*Your prayer has been heard and answered! As you are in the Tutorial, Gods are not allowed to interact with you personally. Would you like to hear the message from ‘The Father of Nature, Greater God of the Six Sands’. Think (Yes) or (No).
Bert: Yes! Right away please.
Bertram Bullock, your words have been heard, and they are found to be truthful. I was wondering if I would hear from Jehovah’s child as he has told me of the possibility of it coming to pass. I know of the Hidden Class
I ‘Father of Nature’ One of the Six Greater God of the Sands, deem you a Champion of my Faith. Take this Gift and make me proud to call you, my Champion!
*Congratulations, you have been given the highest honor from One of the Greater Gods of the Sands! Would you like to accept this Gift now? Think (Yes) or (No).
I was about to ask Gabe about my prayer reply but my Avatar was quicker than me.
Bert #2[Battle Monk 6th Degree]: “Gabe, I just got a reply to the prayer from my Main, he’s offered to make me his champion…” I agreed with my Avatar that there was no need to continue, Gabe should be able to fill me in.
Gabe: ‘Wow, accept yes of course, that will help us tremendously! A God can only have 1 Champion, I believe a Greater God can only have 3 or 5 depending on which I believe.’ He explained.
Bert: ‘What does it mean to be a Champion?’ I asked mentally, while again trying to avoid the naked Banshee from my sight as I kept gawking at her.
Gabe: ‘Well for one the Mana you receive will be much like the way you receive the Mana from the God of Darkness. Only it won’t be the same way, it’ll be much more like a Spring. Second, you will receive a title from which you can equip and gain some kind of bonus and a few more
Well, that was enough for me I thought ‘Yes’ Towards the message and felt the power increase nearly right away. Looking over my stats I went ahead and placed the current points I had into all three of my stats raising my Health Points or HP right away, same with my Endurance.
Bert: “Stats”. I said to refresh my current Stats, with this new Champion benefits if any.

My stats were out of this world! I could only imagine that I was at the very least most decked out level 5 in all the Universes… At least that’s what I’d like to think. I also had another notification, which I ignored for now.
I quickly drew into myself to find the Green Mana like a cool Jello just as thick as the black Tar Mana. The regeneration was much faster than the Dark Mana’s Regen, or so That’s how it seemed. Now to see if I can bring the Banshee with me, I opened my eyes and looked directly at the naked Woman in front of me.
I reached out and touched her shoulder and imagined me sending her to my Pocket-Realm… and poof she was gone. From my Avatar’s experiences, I knew she was in my Pocket-Realm… This was like a major cheat code... My Banshee didn’t even have to draw power from me like my first undead… Because it would draw from its own Mana supply as a living creature.
I noticed there were notifications, so I went ahead and swiped them open… Even though I didn’t need to swipe, it was all possible just by thinking about it.
*Congratulations, you have received a new title “Champion of Nature”; While equipped you can
*Congratulations, you have received a new Class
*Congratulations, you have received a Divine Point.
I smiled while I read through the notifications but was confused on the last one. Again, my Battle Monk asked the question before me.
Bert #2[Battle Monk 6th Degree]: “Gabe in one of my many notifications, I received a ‘Divine Point’ what is it used for?” While my Avatar asked the question, he I could tell he was going through all the hundreds of loot eggs we got and immediately handed the Naked Woman among them a plain cloth Robe, which she slowly put on.
Gabe: “Even better news! Divine Points are used to level up Divine Skills, which you have! Place it into your [Divine Avatar] Skill… I’m guessing it’ll take at the very least 5 points to level it up to two.” Gabe cheered as he turned back towards the Monk.
Gabe: “For reference as it will eventually become confusing. You…” He pointed at my Avatar. “Shall be known as ‘Monk’. Then Necromancer, which is your Main with the
Bert: “So, the next stage is Undead… I’m guessing my Banshee will be useless there, or at the very least partly helpful?” I questioned Gabe then realized he wanted me to use mental speak which I was hitting my head for how stupid I was being.
Gabe: “That would be my guess as well” Gabe answered. Then I felt him leave my Pocket-Realm, most likely in my Avatars… I mean Monk’s Pocket-Realm.
While Monk was training, I decided to keep at it and with a flick of my wrist made the Book of Curses appear as I began to slowly scan through the pages.
Excited for some reason that I could become a Werewolf, I pulled into myself and made the Werewolf Curse I created appear inside just outside of my Mana. I then began to improve all the bonuses the Werewolf received. Through the crazy design of the Curse, I was able to add even more by using the Green Mana. I believed I would like to try this curse on myself once I was in the ‘Crazed Humanoid’ Zone. There was hopefully a chance to create my own army!
With that last thought I needed to figure out a way to make my Pocket-Realm bigger. I would ask Gabe, but I could tell he wasn’t even in my Pocket-Realm anymore.
I decided to test Terra, and see if she had the ability like Gabe…
Bert: ‘Terra, are you able to jump to Monk’s Pocket-Realm?’ I didn’t know exactly if she had the brain capacity to even speak, but my question was quickly answered.
Apex Banshee ‘Terra’: ‘I apologize Master, I don’t believe I possess the same skill as the big scary Angel.’ Her reply wasn’t too bad, perhaps she was more sentient then the regular Undead?
Bert: ‘Terra, are you able to think for yourself? Are you truly Sapient?
Apex Banshee ‘Terra’: ‘I have the ability to think like when I was alive, but my absolute loyalty towards you makes it so I don’t have any interest outside of being the best Servant, or Bodyguard for you’ She explained slowly but more because she had to look into herself to answer the question.
I decided to look through my stats some more, I just kept getting more and more powerful by the second. Then I noticed something and couldn’t believe I forgot about it, the Gift that the ‘God of Darkness’ had given to me. It had to be the Class
I wanted to voice it to Gabe, but he wasn’t in my Pocket-Realm at the moment. I would just let it be until I was able to speak with him, but the other classes I figured I’d try.
First, I equipped the “Speed Runner” title and checked if anything changed, which it had! My Dexterity went up by 20! Putting it over 100. I would need to save this one for Monk, he would be better with it. I then equipped the ‘Champion of Nature’ but was given an error that only one title was allowed to be equipped at a time. I unequipped ‘Speed Runner’ and equipped ‘Champion of Nature’ This was a surprise all my stats increased by 50! This was way better than the ‘Speed Runner’, so I switched from champion to Speed Runner... Let Monk have the ‘Champion’ title.
Then I switched out my
Since Gabe and Monk were still playing around, I began to meditate again and started working on creating spells for the Druid class. Spells like Regen Health, Cure Poison, Cure Disease were the first I was able to create. I stored them in my inventory as well. Greater Heal was the next successful one, I then began experimenting and mixing all the ones I was able to accomplish into one spell. It took about 30minutes to make one of those spells, but it would be an instant cast after that if I had enough in my inventory. I didn’t receive any bonuses for creating new spells, so obviously these already existed.
Nothing else seemed to work, my guess is I needed another book for Druids. After creating two more Power Heal spells as I liked to call them, Gabe appeared back in my Pocket-Realm.
Gabe: ‘I’m having Monk continue us through the next part of the dungeon. You should be teleported as well because this is the first Tutorial… Any other dungeon and you’ll be able to be teleported differently I believe. Either way it’d be wise to release Terra and have her attack as fast as she can as well.’ Gabe explained obviously use to leading.
Bert: ‘Will do, Thanks Gabe’. I replied honestly glad he was with me; I would probably be losing my mind if he wasn’t… Especially in Hell.
Gabe disappeared again, and then a white flashed all around me a sign that we were teleporting. As soon as I saw us in a cave tunnel once again, with a thought of will Terra appeared before me, and Monk was already gone. No need for me to go, I’ll continue making spells and storing them.
Name: Bert (Monk), Level 5
Class:
Running around the goblin dungeon collecting all the bodies I could see into my inventory was difficult because I was moving so fast, and it seemed to take longer to throw the corpses into my inventory even though it was a matter of just touching and a thought to make them disappear in a puff of black smoke.
I was surprised to see no wounds on any of the goblins, just looks of freight before they died. The Banshee was something amazing, I was so glad Gabe made us work with the
Speeding through, I was able to hold onto the 6th form much easier. I guessed I could hold it for about 30 minutes with Gabe’s tutorage and short cuts he would show me by guiding my chakra to move at a constant motion through my body. To fix the leakage even more he had me pull that excess chakra into my inventory which helped tons! I couldn’t use the chakra again, but I could pull it out and shoot it in a direction making a chakra blast.
Before I was able to grab the last corpse, I lost control once again. With a frown I threw the last corpse in my inventory then standing by the orb, I sat down and started concentrating on opening the chakra Gates once again.
Gabe: ‘This time only open the 5th Gate, then go ahead and use the orb to proceed to the next part of the dungeon.’ Gabe said in a calm manner while watching over me as I opened the Gates.
Normally I was a bad follower, and never did well with others ordering me around, but I was more than thankful for the 20-foot General Arch Angel to guide me. If I could go back in time, I would rather have Gabe’s tutorage into my Chakra Gates than Susej. I loved Susej more, but he was always stressing me out, and I was always trying too hard around Susej.
As soon as I could see the new tunnel of the dungeon, I did a quick glance back to see the Banshee ‘Terra’ appear in front of my Main. I gave a short smile and took off as fast as I could through the tunnel. The first signs of an enemy turned out to be Skeletons. With my current speed it looked like they were all frozen in time, and I’d skewer them with my Jhinn Spear. As soon as the spear touched them at our speeds the heads would blow up in a slow explosion.
There were many connecting Caverns, nothing as big as the goblin one, but the number of Skeletons was staggering. The current innate [Haste] was nearly triple my speed without my chakra speed I was already doing. I really wanted that next level in Haste, I couldn’t imagine how much more powerful I would be. The System giving me a levels was nothing compared to what I could already do. According to Gabe I was nearly the same match as a level 100!
As I sped around blowing up Skeletons heads, I found my toughest challenge was picking the route in which way to run around the caverns to be effectively faster. Before I knew it, I was going down another ramp that opened to a cavern that looked surprisingly familiar as the Goblin one.
With a smile I pushed myself to continue my run, I saw the banshee appear at the entrance to the cavern by the time I had cleared a quarter of the skeletons and was rounding the mountain. She went in the direction I didn’t go.
#2[Battle Monk 6th Degree]: ‘Will she be able to kill the Skeletons?’ I asked Gabe knowing that her AOE attacks were all short blasts of screams.
Gabe: ‘Her physical attacks are not that powerful, but at level 100 against these level 5 skeletons her punch is more effective than any warrior at such a low level.’ Gabe explained.
I was surprised at how long I was able to hold the 5th gate open, I believed that I would be able to hold it nearly permanently. I wouldn’t be sure though until I tested it.
Within 5 more minutes the dungeon was cleared, and I received a notification showing that it was cleared, and we had received the #1 slot for fastest clear once again raising our innate Haste to another level. Testing it by moving around, it was easily twice as fast! So, OP, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.
I then started running around collecting all the bones, this was more difficult as the skeleton body didn’t all go into the inventory each touch, it was a bone at a time. I got excited to test the Skeletons and see if it would heal flesh on it, even though it was never a human before? Yep, excited for my Necromancer to test this.
It took around 2 hours to finally clean the entire dungeon out of bones. With a thought I released and found that during that time my now
Name: Bertram Bullock, Level 7
Class:
Soon as my experiences caught up from finishing the dungeon from Monk releasing, I drew a smile on my lips. I quickly changed classes, so I was back to
Bert: “Rise” I said, but the spell just fizzed out and nothing changed with the Skeleton. I then fell into my mana and decided to try to create a spell and focused on the tar Mana to ‘Raise Skeleton’. The mana changed to show me of the success, and I attached the word ‘Rattle’ to it for fun.
Bert: “Rattle” I whispered, and I watched as a purple mist surrounded all the bones stitching them together making a dark type of joint between them all. I felt a tug at my mana as it went up and created a head for the skeleton with bright purple eyes. The skeleton quickly stood up then remained creepy still. Checking the status of the Skeleton I was disappointed that it was only level 7, same as my new level.
With a thought I released my hold and constant mana drain from the skeleton and fell back into my mana. Trying other forms of ‘Raise Skeleton’ I found ‘Greater Raise Skeleton’ had worked. Then I decided to program the spell by adding Speed, strength to it like I did with the Werewolf Curse. To my delight I got them to stick, then I grabbed some green mana and tried other things. To my surprise ‘Rise Skeletons Lord’ Worked with the green mana and I worked for the next 30 minutes trying to get it to stick to the spell which I finally accomplished.
Bert: “Greater Rattle” this was how I got the green to stick, with just another word to infuse power into. The Skeleton now hand a lime green glow in its eye sockets and its entire skeleton body was infused with the dark tar making it completely black and sick looking. Checking its status, I found it to be level 140! I thought 100 was the max! Gabe soon explained to me that non-Player creatures could and are higher than level 100 to make it challenging for the higher levels.
Now I had an army of Skeletons to haunt hell with!
