(Tahlia)
We walked around the forest for a little while until I was sure we couldn’t be seen or heard then I turned to him and told him “ Ok this should be far enough, I have some experiments I need your help in completing. First I need to test what happens when I get hit and lose HP, Second I need to find out how resistances are gained. For you all you need to do is burn me or stab me or something.” I look at him for a little bit before he finally realizes what I just asked him to do he replies “I couldn’t hurt you I wouldn’t ever forgive myself if I did.” Well shit seems like he actually likes me “how do you share a trait with someone?” I ask. He says, “You can’t just share the trait you would need to share all of your status screen.” “Ok I will show you the status but you must promise to never tell anyone what is on it.” He agrees I don’t have a reason to think he is being dishonest but at the same time I don’t have a reason to believe him either. Oh well “status share Igor” “you should see a trait called pacifist that is what I’m testing I’m trying to figure out what breaks the streak before it gets any higher.” He stares at me for a few seconds and then says, “What the hell, since when are you a fucking angel with two I repeat two traits! This is just impossible.” Well I mean I figure they are powerful but why is it impossible “You promised not to tell anyone so your not gong to tell anyone right?” I ask in a sad voice. “Yeah, I’ll keep your secret.” Ok good “lets start what do you want to attack with first do you have a sword or something or just magic?” he thinks for a second then grabs a dagger and cuts my finger
You have lost 5 HP
New skill gained: Slashing Resistance I 5/10 EXP
New skill gained: Pain Tolerance I 5/10 EXP
Well that was easy, “Ok let’s try that again I still have 20 HP left.” This time he cuts my arm and I lose 6 HP it hurts like hell then I get
Your skill Pain Tolerance I has leveled up
Your skill Pain Tolerance I is now Pain tolerance II 35/20 EXP
Your skill Pain tolerance II is now Pain Tolerance III 15/40 EXP
Your skill Slashing Resistance I has leveled up
Your skill Slashing Resistance I is now Slashing Resistance II 35/20 EXP
Your skill Slashing Resistance II is now Slashing Resistance III 15/30 EXP
Well that was quick, “Ok I have both Pain Tolerance and Slashing Resistance at level three now, and still have 13 HP left.” “Already I swear your cheating but I’ve only done 11 damage you should still have 19 to 29 HP left, well I guess with your cheat you need to be below average at something.” Yeah I’m below average but he really didn’t need to call it a cheat oh well he attacks me two more times and I hardly feel any pain from it and only take 2 damage from each but still get the skills up to
Pain Tolerance IV 25/60 EXP

And
Pain Tolerance IV 25/60 EXP
Still having 9 HP left I decide to head home well thinking about what I should put my ability points into more CON would allow me to take more damage, END would up my HP regeneration, DEX would increase my balance and overall coordination and speed, STR would increase my overall strength and stamina, INT is mental speed and well intelligence guess even this world calls me a genius, WIS is resisting mental strain and mental attacks, WILL is apparently for all my social aspects like talking to people and persuading them to well everything, LUCK is pretty obvious it is how lucky you are guess I’m not the luckiest person. I have 22 ability points, which are a one to one change. Seems I get 1 point per every level after the first one I would like to put them into luck but that one seems to be locked at 6 for some reason. Oh guess were already back to the mansion/castle what ever they call it. Well I need to go find out what the best option would be to grind skills well reading I get
Your skill Speed-Reading has reached 23/10 EXP
Your skill Speed-Reading is now Speed-reading II 13/20 EXP
After that I notice quite a bit of an improvement. After that day I have almost finished reading the books on entry-level magic theory and got
Speed-Reading III 8/40
And
Photographic Memory II 19/20
I spend the next week training my skills and at the end have:
Slashing Immunity V MAX/MAX
Pain Immunity V MAX/MAX
Photographic memory V MAX/MAX
Speed-Reading IV 200/280 EXP
So those are good I can now remember everything I have read and what page it was on and cant get cut which is nice, I decided to put some point into con I know it might not make since but if I think about it I don’t want to die so being able to take more damage is nice in keeping me alive I also put some into end getting both of them up to 12 for 8 points apparently being cut repeatedly is great for your stats. That left me with 12 points remaining and got my pacifist bonus up to 11 times the EXP and if you add that 5 times from my other trait I get a times 16 to all non combat EXP but cant learn any combat ones right now oh well it’s a really useful thing that resistances aren’t considered combat skills so I should just keep grinding those well I should keep grinding resistances and learning skills. I guess I will just keep doing this for the time being.
We start doing multiple resistances at one time this week we are going to be doing Piercing, bludgeoning, and fire resistance. The week after we are going to do cold, lightning, and force resistance. He unfortunately doesn’t know any spells with the psychic, radiant or necrotic damage types, I do get the rest of them up to immunity after a month to raise poison he brought multiple types of weak poisons and some slightly stronger ones and he also brought alcohol (for himself) but he claimed I was still to young to drink it and I agree. The other skills I got max on would be Speed-Reading, Study, Organize, Note taking, Common, Writing, Elven, Draconic, Dwarven, Acrobatics, and stealth. Overall it was a really productive month. I spent as much time in the library alone as I could and learned focusing on monsters because I want to put my class monster tamer to use and I learned that there was a lot of types of monsters but most importantly I learned about a dragon who supposedly is considered a legendary SS class monster don’t know what that means but it sounds like something I want to tame.
I decided to find some necrotic, radiant and psychic damage type spells that I could train resistance with so the first place I should cheek would be a temple so lets go find my brother and see if he knows of one to take me to. I spend about an hour looking for him before I find him in the study getting taught magic and when I go in there I see the person teaching him look displeased for a split second but quickly regains her face as if the displeasure was just a trick of the light. “Hello, what can I help you with today?” she asks and I think for a second and then sit next to my brother and say “I was going to pick up my brother and see if h could take me into town but I guess it will have to wait for his class to be done, do you mind if I join in?” she looks surprised and then says “well, you can join in but if you don’t understand it just wait until after I help your brother as he is my student.” “Ok I understand.” Well let’s learn magic today I guess but still need to go to the temple and maybe the adventurers guild but I think that one can wait. The class was fairly simple and easy to learn but it seems my brother is having a bit more trouble then me it was simple speed boosting magic but that can come in handy so I learned it and manage to get it up to level 5 and unlocked the upgrade list but that’s for a later date. After the class my brother and I head off to town. It takes about 15 minutes to walk there the only reason why we walked instead of taking a carriage is I wanted to get more used to the forest around town and prefer travelling by foot then carriage. When we get to the gate I go to stand in line but my brother grans my hand and leads me to the quick line and when the guards see him they let us into town
