Hello again my small number of followers and anyone else here reading this, I'm sorry the chapter is shorter this week even though I've been trying to slowly make it longer. However I'll be (most likely) writing at least 2 chapters next week with one most likely coming tomorrow, so don't lose hope in me yet! Here's the chapter for this week...
Wait! I almost forgot, if anyone knows how to make a status box or whatever you call it, please tell me!
Anyways, the chapter...
----------------------------------------
~Loki~
~Day 21 in another world~
It's been almost a month since I was summoned to this world (which I now know to be Elentacia). Surprisingly, not much has happened, but I did train more with the sword.
Jeremy (my trainer) decided I needed some real world experience so today, I'm heading to a beginners dungeon.
Dungeons are ranked similar to gifts and almost anything else in this world (E, D, C, B, A and S). Rank E is considered beginners dungeons, rank C and D are novice dungeons and rank B and A are considered expert dungeons.
Rank S is for the rare people who are strong enough to take on whole armies by themselves, however those people only appear once every century or so.
As I pack my bags, Jeremy calls impatiently for me to hurry up. After the initial shock of me not having a gift wore off, everyone began to accept me. While some are still hostile, it's a lot better than before.
Jeremy is a very proud person (and well deserves to be, as he is a master in the art of swordsmanship) who despises being late and anything disorganised, but overall, he is a great (if somewhat annoying) friend.
"Come on Loki, we can't afford to be late!" Jeremy shouted.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, wait up will you?" Jeremy had already jumped on his stallion Bolt and was trotting away already.
I hurriedly jumped on my own horse (named Midnight, obviously, her coat is completely black. Bolt is white by the way) and charged after Jeremy.
After trotting through the crowded streets of the kingdom and grabbing some lunch on the way, we reached the outskirts and stopped at an inn for the night.
Jeremy and I sat eating our dinner while Jeremy lectured me on my swordsmanship.
"Make sure to keep your guard up, even though it's only a beginners dungeon, so are you. Being too confident will only pull you down. Now, tell me all the names of the monsters inside the dungeon, their weak points, and how you, considering your own weaknesses and strengths will be able to defeat them!"
After training with Jeremy, I learnt not only about swordsmanship, but also the different monsters in different areas and how to defeat them. He taught me that, not only must I know my enemies strengths and weaknesses, but also my own. If I didn't, I would never become any greater than a novice.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
By learning my own strengths and weaknesses, I can account for them and work more efficiently.
Jeremy also introduced me to status cards, which, considering everything else that has happened, does not surprise me.
Luckily, while I'm in my human form, my dragon race is hidden. I don't think the people in this world even know dragons can transform into humans (unless of course, the dragons of this world can't. I definitely need to find a dragon sometime and investigate).
Anyway, here's my status...
Loki
Level: 4
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Dragon)
Affinity: None
Health: 200/200
Energy: 100%
Mana: 1660/1660
Stats
Points: 0
Vitality: 11
Strength: 14
Agility: 17
Intelligence: 83
Wisdom: 67
Dexterity: 12
Every time you level up you gain 5 stat points and you can raise it normally by training. Mana is decided by how much intelligence you have (mana = intelligence x 20) finally I find something I'm good at!
However, most of the magicians in the kingdom at the moment aren't up to par in teaching someone like me. So I have to wait until they return.
The average points is 10-20 for townsfolk, 21-40 for normal guards and soldiers, 41-60 for the Royal guard and 61-80 are the elite. People with points going over 81 are very few and any over 100 is almost nonexistent (except of course the Heroes, but unfortunately the only thing I'm okay at is magic).
Intelligence is raised by gaining knowledge whereas wisdom is hard to raise and normally, it stays mostly the same unless someone has a sudden insight into something.
I also discovered that I have a higher agility (obviously not higher than average, just higher than my other stats...), which made Jeremy drill into me how I can use it to my advantage.
Jeremy and I finished our meal and went to bed. Tomorrow I'll be able to fight for the first time and I can't wait to see what I can do.
----------------------------------------
Loki has no last name due to laziness coupled with a terrible naming sense (My friends helped me name most of the characters, now and upcoming). Comments below if you have any ideas, or I'll just leave it as Loki. Also don't forget to tell me (if you know) how you make the status box whatever you call it! Or don't, you know, watever...
Anyway, I look forward to posting the next chapter, I think I might be getting the hang of this (maybe) and I'll see you tomorrow~
