AN: Well... Here is chapter 2 hope you guys enjoy. Btw the stat Windows might be very bad so ignore them for the most part.

Aeleus's POV:
After Aeleus had decided that he would be the number one player. He decided to take a look around and get familiar with the surroundings. He ran everywhere through the city and when he was finally done he had decided it was time to get some quests.
"Hmm, the time right now is 11:25 pm I wonder what the best weapon is right now."
Quickly choosing the Top Weapons button in the settings he found what he was looking for. The number 1 weapons belonged to a level 3 Thief, whose in-game name was DeadGuy. The weapon that he had was called Marauders Dagger and had some dec my stats for a white grade weapon.
In Pangaea Online, all types of equipment had a grade to it. The grades for equipment from worst to best would be; unranked-white-black-bronze-silver-gold-arcane-radiant/demonic-godly-Dragon God.
"Wow, the game hasn't been up for even an hour yet, yet this guy is already level 3 and has a white grade weapon with the low drop rates in this game was nothing less than being extremely lucky." Aeleus said.
Quickly opening up his Inventory, Aeleus looked at the objects inside.
Aeleus quickly pulled out the wand and equipped it. Aeleus then clicked the weapon once again to find out its stats.
Attack: 1-1
Description: A wand poorly crafted but still functions well enough to be used by beginner mages.
Aeleus sweat dropped at seeing the poor stats on the wand before his eyes widened.
"Wait, since I am a Mage doesn't that mean that I have a spell to use? I wonder what spell it is" Aeleus said hoping that it was something useful.
Hitting the skills tab Aeleus looked at his current skill count and nearly dropped to the floor.
Skill count: 1
"They were really serious about making skills hard to get weren't they? Not even giving out starter skills to help out only a class skill." Aeleus disappointedly said.
"Hopefully my skill is good" Aeleus said and observed the skill that showed up.
[Fire Orb]
Skill level: 1 (0%)
Damage: 5-10
Mana Cost: 10
Rank: Unranked
Description: An extremely weak fire spell used by novices to practice magic, explodes on contact, does not deal AOE (Area of Effect) damage.
Aeleus eyes widened, and said "Just how hard are they going to make the Mage class be? Verrick told me that in other games a mages first spell dealed at least
10 damage at minimum but here in PO (Pangaea Online) 10 was the max damage.
"They weren't kidding when they said that being a Mage was recommended for experienced players. But being a Mage is the only thing for me! I will never be a different type of class!" Aeleus yelled passionately and once again getting strange looks from the people around him.
Arriving at the West Gate, Aeleus saw a sign by the gate saying "The area ahead is recommended for level 1 players to level 5 players." Upon seeing this sign, Aeleus increased his pace and reached the guard point.
"Halt! Who goes there? By order of the King of Verderhelm, only Adventurers are allowed to pass" yelled one of the guards by the gate.
"Good thing that I am an Adventurer right uncle?" Replied Aeleus, "here take a look at my character page." Pressing the character button, Aeleus showed his stats to the solider
Name: Aeleus
Level: 1
Titles: N/A
Race: Human (Adventurer)
Class: [Novice] Mage
Below these were the stats of Aeleus
Strength: 5
Vitality: 5
Endurance: 5
Wisdom : 6
Intelligence: 6
Dexterity: 5
Luck: 0
(Yea I know that this is a bad chart, I don't know how to make one currently. Sorry)
At seeing this the Guard was convinced that Aeleus was an Adventurer and let him through to the level 1-5 area, The Grassy Plains. However Aeleus's jaw was hanging open at the sight of his low stats.
"What is this! Mages should have a much higher intelligence and wisdom but this game only increased them by 1! How hard do they want the Mage class to be!" Aeleus was nonstop yelling now due to these outrageous stats and even the NPC's turned and looked at him.
"Huff, lets just enter and grind my level for a bit" Aeleus unenthusiastically said

The Grassy Plains
Aeleus's POV
Not long after Aeleus entered the plains he encountered his first monster. He observed the monster and its stats showed up above it.
Rabbit LVL 1
HP: 50
Strength: 3
Description: A harmless rabbit unless provoked
Aeleus decided to try his luck and see how much damage he would deal with his spell.
"[Fire Orb]!" Aeleus shouted. A small spherical object made out of flames smashed into the rabbit and exploded.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
-6 (Rabbit: 44/50)
Aeleus sweat dropped at such a low damage number, before his eyes widened at what the rabbit did. The rabbits eyes turned red and ran over to Aeleus and biting his leg.
-8 (92/100)
"Curse you One World! Even a rabbit does more damage then me!" It was at this point that Aeleus decided to treat this rabbit as a true opponent and fight him seriously.
"[Fire Orb]!"
"[Fire Orb]!"
"[Fire Orb]!"
Aeleus casted [Fire Orb] 3 more times but the rabbit being the faster of the two managed to get 5 attacks on him. Aeleus's HP was now at 43/100 and the rabbit had 24/50 HP left. Aeleus started to freak out, since the greatest shame for a gamer was to die at level 1 to a level 1 monster.
Aeleus fired off 3 more fire or and the rabbit and only gotten in 3 hits making the HP 2/50 for the rabbit and 12/100 Hp left. With his hands shaking, Aeleus manages to cast one final [Fire Orb] before the rabbit had gotten a chance to attack him, winning him the battle.
Enemy Rabbit LVL 1 killed
Obtained 5 copper coins
2 EXP gained
Glancing at his mana and health Aeleus saw that during that fight if he had casted a couple more orbs and they had missed, even if he dodged he would have died since his mana would have run out. Aeleus then looked at his skill page and saw that from killing a rabbit the exp for [Fire Orb] went up from 0% to 1%.
"I should've known that rabbits would have give next to no exp and no items. What kind of idiot am I to fight against a rabbit when I should be hunting foxes." Aeleus said under his breath.
Aeleus decided to wait for a bit to recover his hp and mana before he tried to hunt a fox.
"Help! Someone please help me!" Yelled a voice close to where Aeleus was.
*Ding* "Save the NPC" quest has been made
Objective: Save the NPC
Rewards: EXP and money
Failure: Death of NPC and lowered intimacy with surrounding towns.
[Accept] [Decline]
Aeleus eagerly pressed accept and heard the ding noise that signified the quest has been accepted.
Running over to where Aeleus heard the pleas for help, Aeleus saw that a LVL 1 Red Fox was chasing an NPC whose HP he fallen to half already.
Observing the fox Aeleus saw its stats and felt like he was going to die against this monster
Red Fox LVL 1
HP: 80
Strength: 4
Dexterity: 4
Description: A fairly harmless fox but is known to harass and bite travelers and in rare cases kill the traveler
"Fear not, for Aeleus is here!" Aeleus shouted in a way trying to make it sound heroic.
"[Fire Orb]!"
"[Fire Orb]!"
"[Fire Orb]!"
"[Fire Orb]!"
Firing off 4 orbs and lowering down the foxes HP to a little under 50 and his own going to 70-80 after the fox had targeted him from the first fire orb cast.
Once again firing off orbs in an effort to kill the fox Aeleus fired off 6 more orbs.
"[Fire Orb]!"
-7
"[Fire Orb]!"
-6
"[Fire Orb]!"
-8
"[Fire Orb]!"
Critical! -15
"[Fire Orb]!"
-9
"[Fire Orb]!"
-6
The fox was killed at least and Aeleus had successfully dodged a large number of the attacks from the foxes.
*Ding* Quest "Save the NPC" has been successfully completed. Talk to the NPC for rewards.
Aeleus eager for the rewards ran over to the NPC and asked him "Sir, are you ok?"
The NPC turned to him and replied "Thanks to you brave adventurer I am safe"
*Ding* Quest Rewards
EXP x 500
Copper Coins x 100
Glancing at his exp bar, Aeleus saw that the quest had filled up over 80% of the exp needed to reach level 2. He had also gained 50 copper coins.
"Once I get gold coins and better gear I can start to sell items and make money to buy my own helmet in case the studio gets destroyed"
1 gold coin= 100 silver coins= 10,000 copper coins
(Basically the same coin to coin ratio as most other stories)
Remembering that he had recently killed a monster Aeleus looked at what the fox had dropped.
Enemy Red Fox LVL 1 has been killed
7 copper coins
25 exp
Looking at the last object, Aeleus's eyes widened since blueprints were needed to create skills. Although was slightly confused because it had a Mysterious before it. He then Observed the blueprint.
Description: A very old blueprint that has faded through time and is now unreadable. Has absolutely no value.
Aeleus's eye twitched before collapsing on the floor.
"Curse you Pangaea Online. Getting my hopes up but then immediately takes it away." Aeleus said depressingly.
