----------------------------------------
When I entered sacred sword, the first thing I did was look at my stats and skills.
“Status Window.”

“Skills.”

As I looked over my stats, I realized something special. Something amazing. Something I should have expected!
“I’m so weak,” I said with a sigh.
Seriously. The average stats for for most starting class are 20. The super powerful classes like dragon or titan even start with 50 stats in every category.
But of course these come with drawbacks. You can only create one character with the stronger races. If your character dies, then you can never create a character with that race again. Plus, characters that are one of the stronger races star in a monster-infested area. It’s very difficult to start, but you can destroy any other new player. Or any level 80 player really. You only get 5 stat points a level.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
But the other races get compensation. For example, the human’s growth skill:
GrowthThe rate at which you acquire stats and skills.Novice: 1 1%
In my opinion, the growth skill is overpowered. For each level of growth, you increase the rate at which you gain stats and skills. The only downside is that you increase your growth rate by gaining stats and skills. Which makes it one of the hardest skills to grind.
But luckily, the growth skill is a total cheat for me. Since I have no stamina or need to eat or drink, I can train forever. And, the more I train, the faster I get stronger. It’s an exponential growth curve!
After checking my stats and skills, I go over to Hermia. “Hey Hermia.” I say.
“Welcome back, Chris,” she says. “How was the other world today?”
“Boring as ever,” I say. “Hey, can I ask for a favor?”
“What is it?”
“I have a couple friends in the game and I want to check on how their doing.”
“Oh. You want to use the god’s eye?”
“Eh? God’s eye?”
“Yep,” she says as she brings me over to a table.
In front of me is a view of the continent. Only this one has a couple options on the side.
“Is this a system to watch the world?” I ask.
“Yep!” Hermia says. “I have to do something when I’m board!”
“So I can use this?”
“Sure. I guess this will give us both something to do when we’re not working.”
“Sweet.” I say.
Using the god’s eye, I search for the name Joe. On the map, I see a light flare up from the northern part of the map.
When I zoom in, I see my brother. Well, my brother as an elf. Currently, he’s in a pack of tree’s, staking a wolf with his bow.
As I watch, he looses his arrow, smashing into the wolf’s brain and killing it with one blow.
“Wow.” I say. “Shows what training in Earthrealm can do for you.”
Then I search for Earthen. I put his real name into god’s eye and another light flashes.
When I zoom in, I see Earthen is a Tigersoul warrior. He has green fur and black stripes running all over his body. When, I look at Earthen, I see that he is lazing around, sitting cross legged with his eyes closed.
“I’m impressed,” says Hermia. “Your friend is training in the elements.”
“Training in the elements?” I asks.
“Yes. He’s trying to train in utilizing the power of fire, water, earth and wind. Of those, he’s showing the most proficiency in earth, but the least in wind.”
Finally, I enter my last search. I type in her name. M-A-R-I-A.
Nothing happens for a while. Then a light flashes to my right.
