“Ugggh, what the fuck just happened?”. I say to no one in particular, my eyes are blinded by the two suns high in the sky, wait two suns what the fuck. “Ah, finally awake are we now”. The low baritone voice says to me from my side, I turn my head to look and find a man with a short blonde beard and long blonde hair, and pointy ears, wait pointy ears. “Uh, where the fuck am I?”. I ask the strange pointy eared man. “You are in the forest of Indil, home of my tribe of wood elves”. The man tells me looking me in the eyes. I can’t stop starring at his ears. I finally ask, “Sorry if I’m being rude, but what the hell are elves?”. The man looks like he has a sort of revelation. “Ah, you must a new summon to the world of Norza”. He tells me while I look at him with a dumbfounded face, what the hell is this crazy pointy ear weirdo talking about.
“Just think of the word status, and a lot of your questions will answered in a few minutes”. The pointy eared man tells me starting to walk away. He waves back at me and waves and says, “Good luck, and do try to stay away from the Raizels, they really despise summons for some reason, see ya”. He the. Jumps up into the forest and I loose track of him instantly. What a weird fellow, I wonder what he meant by summons, and these Raizels. What did say he status, guess it won’t hurt to try. I think of the word status in my head and a screen pops up in front of my face
[Welcome new summon Romulus to the world of Norza, where you and thousands of others from different worlds have been transported to here. Travel the world, become the greatest warrior, greatest painter, or simply just live your life out on the countryside, the choice is yours, Welcome once again and have fun.]
I look at these floating words with my jaw almost touching the ground, what the hell happened? I don’t know why I asked that when these words obviously tell me, but that still doesn’t mean I have to believe them. The words disappear then different words appear before me
[ Name: Romulus
Level: 1 (0% towards next lvl)
Class: Master at Arms (unique)
Stat points: 3 (+3 every lvl, class bonus +1 Strength, Agility, Dexterity every lvl)
Constitution: 10
Strength: 8
Agility: 10
Dexterity: 11
Intelligence: 5
Wisdom: 6
Skills: Spear Mastery (Grandmaster), Shield Mastery (Grandmaster), Sword Mastery (Master), Dagger Mastery (Advanced), Throwing Mastery (Advanced) ]
I look at these words in front of my face with an incredulous expression on my face. I have no idea what the fuck is going on. I decide to try and click on the word class.
[ Master at Arms (unique): Master of all weapons and armor, reaper of battlefields with your weapons of choice in the battlefield. (+1 Strength, +1 Agility, +1 Dexterity upon level up), Weapon skills are permanently locked while using this class, Weapons and Armor have no level restrictions for this class. All Weapon mastery’s begin at Intermediate rank ]
I look at this and don’t know what to really think. I don’t know what skills really are but I’m guess these stats have something to do with my physical abilities. And weapon mastery is pretty self explanatory. I select the stats next
Constitution: (The physical sturdiness of ones body and how healthy one is)
Strength: (The physical might of ones muscles, affects how much damage one can inflict on a target)
Agility: (Affects ones ability to run faster and be more flexible)
Dexterity: (Nimbleness of ones hands, and affects head eye coordination)
Intelligence: ( Measures mental acuity, directly affects how strong a spell is)
Wisdom: (Measures ones ability to think quick on their feet, directly affects the quantity of ones mana)
While I look at these descriptions I think to myself, it’s pretty much just quantity to my physical abilities. I also think that I have no idea what the fuck mana is. Constitution is basically my health, Strength is, well my strength, Agility is flexibility and speed, Dexterity hand eye coordination, Intelligence is magic power, I never really cared for magic so I don’t think I’ll be spending to much time on that, and wisdom affects someone’s mana, which I’m gonna guess and say that’s what you use to perform magic.
My class says unique, I don’t know what that really means so I decide to select it
[Class rarity: common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, unique (one of a kind) ]
It didn’t really give me a description but one of a kind tells me all I need to know. I decide to select the weapon mastery next.
[ Weapon mastery ranks: Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Grandmaster, Mythical ]
Damn I’m good, to already be a Grandmaster with the shield and spear, I should be mythical, but that’s my humble opinion. Contrary to most people’s belief about the shield, it is not just for defending, in the right hands it can one of the most devastating weapons on the battlefield. Use it to bash and disarm people, block incoming strikes, use the edge to crush people’s throats, again one of my favorites. It is the greatest multi-tool on the field of battle. The spear on the battlefield is also one of the best weapons in the right hands. Being able to thrust from a distance, sweep legs and slash with the tip of the spear. A medium or short spear is the perfect weapon for quick kills. Being able to throw the spear in a pinch, can’t do that with a proper sword.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
I spend another 10 or so minutes messing around with the status before somewhat getting used to it, only after all that did I realize that I still have my weapons and armor with me. When I look at my spear another status screen pops up.
[ Mithril Spear (common): sturdy spear with a mithril tip, no bonuses ]
I then look to my armor and basically says the same thing. Common, what the fuck, this top of the line in my world, maybe it’s because it’s from my world I think to myself. Whatever I’m not really worried about it. I get finally get off the ground and take a look at my surroundings. I’m on the edge of a dirt road with a open plain on one side and a forest line on the other. I guess the elves or whatever the fuck they are live in this forest. I decide not to go in there lest I meet more weirdos like that guy before. I decide to head down the road to towards the way the suns are setting. Weird seeing two suns. I walk along the road for an hour or so before the suns start to dip below the horizon, I see a cave off to the right of the road and decide to camp there for the night and get some well needed rest and some time to think about all this fuckery that is going on. The cave mouth is roughly five meters wide and seven meters tall. As soon as walk in the cave I get another message in front of my face.
[ You have entered a dungeon (D-ranked) ]
“What the fuck is a dungeon?”. I say aloud, then I get another message
[ Dungeons are areas where monsters are created in large quantities from concentrations of ancient ambient mana, they cannot leave the dungeon, but offer great rewards for those who challenge it. Dungeon ranks (F, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, SSS+) ]
What the hell, just when I thought I can sit down and think about what the hell is going on, more crazy shit pops up. Fuck it I’m just gonna roll with it, it said it offers great rewards whatever the hell that meant. I also really wanna kill something, so hopefully I get to kill a lot of these monsters or whatever they are.
I ready my shield and spear and and slowly walk into the mouth of the cave, once I reach a large rock I see that there is a passageway that is lit with a few torches and some little green creatures that says [Goblin lvl 6] and [Goblin skirmisher lvl 9] above their heads. I observe them for a bit. These things are ugly as fuck, green, short, they have some brown and rotten teeth protruding out of their mouths. They wear just a simple loincloth to cover up their junk. The skirmisher has a short sword, that is about as big as my dagger, and the regular goblin has a wooden spear that is just sharpened at the tip. Even though their level is higher than mine, I severely doubt they can do anything to me. I walk toward them with my spear resting on the crescent of my shield, I crouch down giving my shield more protection of my body, and because these things are as small as a child.
They notice me and start the screech at each other, presumably their way of communication. They begin to run toward me the, goblin with the spear is first and I just simply thrust my spear, his face offers no resistance what so ever as it goes straight through his face and out the back of his head. I pull back and ready myself for the next goblin. I get a warm and fuzzy feeling as I notice something like sparkles come off the dead goblin. The goblin with the sword, stops and shrieks again. I think it is just pissed I killed his buddy and rushes me the same way that the other goblin did and simply thrust right into its chest twice in quick succession. It stumbles forward before it falls flat on its face. I get the same warm feeling and another message.

I see this I finally realize that I can use the stat points to increase my physical body, I see that I have six stat points and decide to put two in constitution, one to strength, two to agility, and one to dexterity

My physical stats are nice and rounded, I don’t really plan on increasing intelligence and wisdom until I really find out what they do. Plus I don’t know magic so nothing I really need to worry about.
I continue to walk down the narrow corridor lit by torches on the cave walls, after about 2 minutes of casual walking I come to a large opening with a few tents and around 15 goblins. On the other side of the opening is another corridor, to get passed these goblins I decide to bait them into the narrow corridor so I can use my reach to my advantage. Most of the goblins are lvl 9, 10 being skirmishers, with two goblins being lvl 13 and 14 respectively. They have the class of goblin warrior, they are bigger than the other goblins and the wear leather armor and short swords.
I bang my shield against the wall and the goblins all look my way. I yell out “come on you ugly fucks”. The two goblin warriors give out commands to the other goblins and they all come running over to me in the corridor. There are seven coming at me in the corridor while the rest waited back in the opening. I used the same method I used against the other two goblins. But this time my thrust claimed the life of two goblins, as I ran them both through the chest I pull it back and decide the strike the next one with my shield. I hit him with the edge of my shield and I hear a addible and loud crack and crunch sound as the goblin drops like a sack of potatoes, neck broken and lifeless. I kill the last three much like the first two easy strokes right though the chest.
I decide to come into the corridor as the goblins are not much of a threat to me. The remaining goblins just snarl at me and try to all attack. Now that I’m not in a corridor or among trees I do a wide sweep with my spear at neck level of the goblins. With this one move I slit the throats of three goblins. I bring the spear back and jump and hit one in the head with my shield, I hear another crack and it falls to the ground. With two remaining I give them quick thrusts with my spear and end their miserable existence. Now all that is left are the two warriors.
“I’ll show you what a warrior is”. I say to the goblin warriors. They just screech in their language and draw their weapons. One stays still while the other circles around and to my back. Once they are in position they attack at the same time. In a fraction of a second I throw my spear at the goblin I’m facing, it goes right through him and imbeds itself into the cave wall. I turn around and leg sweep the incoming goblin, catching him off guard. While he is falling I use my shield to bash his throat and by the time it hits the ground it is grasping for air. It slowly suffocates to death. After it’s death I receive another message.
[ x7 you have leveled up +21 star points, +7 Strength, Agility, Dexterity]
With all these stats I decide to put 5 in Agility, 5 in Dexterity, 3 in strength, and 8 in constitution, with the class bonus, I decide to invest more heavily into constitution to bring my health up to par with my physical ability. After allocating my stat points, I feel a rush that feels absolutely amazing. My whole body shivers in pleasure. After that little episode, my body feels reforged, I feel stronger, faster, and better in every way. My spear and shield feel like feathers, and it armor feels like a second skin, I don’t even notice it anymore. After all that I decide to head down the other corridor and where surprisingly I meet no other goblins, unlikely they would have stayed here after all that commotion anyway. I walk down the corridor until I come across a large solid oak door. Maybe I can get my great rewards on the other side of this door I think to myself with a large grin on my face.
