I opened my eyes to a forest filled with birdsong. If this was a regular RPG, this would be the starter forest to grind lower levels. The path I was standing on went straight ahead, and I could barely make out a town in the distance. Right now I cared nothing for that as a new message popped up.

I could guess what most of these meant but I had no means of confirming my theories... Tryst! That's right, I had a guide.

You called, Master?

A chill ran down my spine as a humanoid figure melted out from my shadow. As one would expect from a creature called a shade, it was pitch black, with a miasma rolling off his skin and pooling around its feet.

"What do the different stats affect, and what are the average stats for level one?"

Strength deals with physical power and defense, while dexterity deals with agility and stamina recovery. Intelligence is like strength, but for magic, and wisdom deals with mana recovery and learning speed. As for average stats, most humans start at ten in each stat.

"I'm guessing the dragons start with more stats?"

Even they only start out at 100, but your skill allowed you to double that.

Game Devs! Who thought of this skill? We need a nerf, ASAP!
