Walking into the cafeteria Jayson spotted a lone man. The man didn't look to be a dark elf or an elf at all. Instead he looked much more similar to a dwarf.
What's a dwarf doing here? Isn't there some type of normal hate between elves and dwarves? Maybe that's why he's sitting alone but then again...
Getting into line he grabbed his plate of food which consisted of some gray mush, a carton of water and a slice of bread. He quickly walked over to the door and sat down opposite of him. The dwarf casually just looked up and then greeted Jayson.
"Well hello there. I've never seen you at the station before. Are you new here? Oh wait you must be one of those. I still don't know what to call you guys." - dwarf
"You found more people like me?" - Jayson
Jayson was surprised as this was the first time an npc talked to him about players.
"Why yes. From the planet I came from a good thirty or so of you people showed up. You're all quite intriguing. What's your name? Mine's Rel'bog." - Rel'bog
"Oh, my name is relfem. So if you're from a different planet why are you here?" - jayson
"I usually just come to deliveries but sometimes I have to help repair the station which is pretty hard considering how big this place is." - rel'bog
"This place isn't that big. Maybe a few square kilometers but..." - jayson
He was cut off before he could continue.
"Oh well for you it's small but that's cuz you only have access to a very small portion of the station. This station can hold over a million people, and is roughly 100 square kilometers, per floor." - Rel'bog
Wait what? Over a hundred square kilometers? Even from the outside this place doesn't seem that big. Unless... Could it be that the developers are sizing everything down for these first two months just like they only allowed us to be in one galaxy?
"Huh, that's pretty interesting. What are you exactly? Oh wait that sounds really rude." - Jayson
"Hah. It's okay. Believe it or not even some dwarfs like space. Just like you're a void elf, I'm a void dwarf. While you guys possess much more stellar, gravity and void magic capability than me, I still get to keep my earth and metal affinities." - Rel'bog

"Oh, okay then. How did you end up working as a... Delivery dwarf?" - Jayson
"I was born in the planet that I currently reside in, and I've always had a fondness for flying through space so I decided to go with that. Now enough about myself. Tell me a little bit about you." - Rel'bog
"Well I came here a couple weeks ago, and so far all I've been doing is training. The people here seem nice, but the place, it all feels kind of weird. Not sure why. I finished training my magical a while ago so now I'm just working on my weapon capabilities so that sooner or later I could go on an expedition to start leveling up. The only things I've killed are a few Wormins and those are really weak." - Jayson
"Oh then you're still a pretty low-level huh. Well it's not too bad if you train yourself you sooner or later we'll be able to fight things a much higher level than you. I remember killing a level 2000 beetle well i was only level 600. Good old days. Now-a-days I've gotten rusty on my fighting skills so I doubt I could still kill anything even at my own level." - Rel'bog
"Well then I guess what I'm doing isn't that useless. Probably soon I can go out and do something it's gotten boring just staying here and practicing. Welp this is the end of my lunch I guess. I'll see you tomorrow? - Jayson
"Yeah. See you tomorrow kid. And good luck, you'll need it in a place like this." - Rel'bog
Rel'bog murmured the last phrase but Jayson was still able to hear it. Looking back at the man, he watched him slowly look down and sigh disappointingly.
I wonder what that was about. I have always had a weird feeling about this place didn't seem that bad. As long as it doesn't do with me or anyone or should I say anything that I care about then it's not my issue. Someone else could deal with it. I'm just here to explore and grow stronger. If someone gets in my way I'll cut them down, just like the dogs they are.
Walking back into the training room he decided to think of a new technique. Pulling out his sword, he held it a foot away in front of him. Taking a deep breath, he quickly began.
Using gravity magic, he lightened himself to only a tenth of his previous weight. Pushing forward with both of his legs he stabbed forward, before using magic again how to launch himself even faster. He flew across the room and impaled the dummy.
His sword and got lodged into the dummy all the way down to the hilt. Smiling at himself he got back and did it again and again and again and again.
Soon he had it down. After his tenth attempt, he began to use gravity magic to change his trajectory. At first it was just a few minor tweaks, but as he continued it soon turned into a full spins. He could now shoot towards the target, and then turned a total of 50 degrees.
It wasn't a lot but it allowed him to quickly change and move in different directions in case his enemy moved. Happy with what he had done, to begin to change the technique. Instead of stabbing forward, he launched himself forward and sent a horizontal strike towards the dummy.
Since he had more practice with the technique now, it was easier for him to turn in mid-air. Past that he slowly began to incorporate different attacks. At one point, he jumped up words a good 10 metres into the air. He sent an overhead strike while doubling the weight of his sword and pushing himself downwards. What resulted was him cutting off the dummies entire left arm, also injuring himself when he collided with the floor.
Groaning he got back up.
Okay now instead of singular strike so how about I try to combine them. Maybe a diagonal slash followed by an overhead.
Getting back in position, he flew himself forward and sent a diagonal strike. He dashed past the dummy and launched himself upwards sending an overhead strike. The two slashes intersected and what came out was a critical hit. A large plus could be seen on the dummies chest where the two slashes connected. Backing off Jayson receive a prompt.
