Chapter 1:
Where am I? It's dark, did I die? The first thing I need to do is remember who I am, who am I? My name is Tahlia, I’m a college student with a dual major in Psychology and Engineering Science, everyone calls me a prodigy because I‘m only 12 years old. The void around me turns into a familiar office. With a light brown wooden floor and a similar color desk with an old man sitting there. I guess that’s going to be god just like in all the books.
"Hello I‘m god, or at least one of them." Yep I thought so, how should I should I respond,
"Hello I suppose this means I’m dead, and it was an accident?"
"Yes I apologize I did not mean for you to die so to make it up to you I’m going to give you another life but it can’t be in the same world you just died in."
Ok so its how I thought I guess it's fine then not going to hold it against him for long but if the new world is sub-par I’m not going to be happy.
"Ok so I guess we can skip the rest of this if it’s like the books you give me some kind of gift and send me on my way, so send me away and I’ll figure out the rest when I get there."
"As you wish." The world blacks out again and it feels like weeks pass as I feel my body shift taking a physical form once again. Strange, it feels smaller then I remember. I look around it appears I’m in a cave I don’t see any lights yet I can see just fine. The cave has metal bars of some kind blocking the exit so it seems I’m a prisoner.

I guess I should look at it. It might help me know what I can do to get out of here. Trying to think Yes doesn't work so I move my and and click on the box that says yes and I see what could only be described as a video game character sheet apear before me.

Clink clink clink it sounds like someone is coming, I guess I have to read the rest of it later. I see a group of 5 people come towards the bars locking me in, and one of them walks all the way up to the metal bars while the rest stand a bit behind them, and pulls some tools out and in 30 seconds the door is open, I watch the group as they walk in the first one to enter appears to be wearing armor made out of metal with a shield and sword the shield has a symbol that looks like a blue dragon the same symbol is on his armor’s left shoulder, soon after him walks in a girl she has a giant axe slung over her shoulders and is staring straight at me scars cover most of her skin, both of them look human, after them walks in another pair of humans they are both wearing robes with a staff one of them has a staff that looks to be made of wood and the other has a staff that seems to be made of metal. I look around I thought there were 5 of them. As I’m thinking this, the one in heavy armor walks over and says,

"Everything is going to be ok we are disposing of the people that did this to you, you don’t need to worry about them torturing you anymore."
I don’t know what he's talking about but he looks at me with pity in his eyes and it seems like he really cares, but I don’t know what he is talking about so how should I respond he is treating me like a little kid so I will go with that.
"I’m sorry I don’t know what your talking about mister, did something bad happen to me?" that might work.
He looks down with saddened eyes and asks, "Do you remember your name?"
"I think my name is Tahlia."
"Tahlia you should come with us we can take you back to a town and help you get used to life out side of this room."
I’m told to follow them so I follow after a while I see them fighting with other people that are wearing black robes and chanting spells, one of the people in the group that escorting me shouts "fire bolt!" and I see a beam of red light shoot out of her finger

Wait what why did I just unlock 3 things? 2 skills and a spell? I don’t think I did anything to lead to gaining skills, and I definitely didn’t use magic. That doesn’t make sense well I guess I should test out the spell so I need a target, I suppose I should just target the same one she did I try thinking fire bolt but sadly it didn’t work. SoI have to say it aloud to cast a spell oh well, "Fire Bolt" I whisper as quietly as I could but it seems everyone around heard as they turn to look at me and then look back to the group they were just fighting but they are not there anymore and in there place is just a pile of ash.

Well that’s a wall of text it says I unlocked a new class and leveled the spell to 5 I wonder if that’s any good? I guess I will ask the one who cast it first "So I know this might be a stupid question but is getting fire bolt to lv 5 a good accomplishment?"
