I woke up to the screeching of my alarm. Uhhhhhh its Saturday. Why did I set my alarm I groaned while smacking the top of my alarm clock. I had no dreams that night and was somewhat glad of that. As I opened my eyes I saw one of those blue boxes hovering above me.

I nodded my head in satisfaction. I had worked hard the day before and it definitely showed in my stats. putting on some clothes I went downstairs. pancakes, I definitely wanted pancakes for breakfast. I cooked for a while until my sister came down. Oh I didn't mention that I had a sister yesterday? Well I do. We mostly stay out of each other’s way but we don't have a bad relationship toward each other. She’s good friends with Grayson’s sister. She plopped herself down at the table and piled the pancakes onto her plate.
I sat down across from her. She looked up “so are you a gamer as well” she asked. It was then that she noticed my eyes. I could see that she was curious but I didn't even know what my race was so there was no way I could tell her
“It’s a skill” I lied “mana sight, it turns my eyes like this. How have you been doing so far?”
“Hah, obviously better than you. I see your still level one” this prompted me to look above her head at her level. Emma followed by a 3 shone above her head. “I’ve been hitting the rabbit fields pretty hard since yesterday” she bragged.
“You know level isn’t everything” I retorted. She really got on my nerve sometimes
“that’s not all right now I’m part of the Chaos Knights, the most powerful guild so the advantage that I have over you is obvious.” after this monolog she finished her pancakes. “I’ll see you later I have a guild meeting that I have to get to”. She walked away leaving her plate on the table. Sighing I picked it up and put it in the dishwasher. Suddenly a grey box opened up in front of me
hey guys I think we should all meet at my house to talk about stats and stuff that we have discovered. We could also do a little training.
-Grayson-
I sent him a message back telling him that I was on my way. I walked outside to the back of my house. Behind my house were all woods. When I was young Grayson, Grant, and I had made paths through these woods to each other’s houses. These paths never got overgrown because we walked them often enough to kill anything growing on them. I started walking down the trail that brought me to Grayson’s house. We had nicknamed it the Dojo because his dad, being the martial arts fanatic that he is, had set up a pretty nice one right next to his house, where he taught taekwondo. I never personally learned there ever but he seemed to be doing well.
I went inside his house and walked down to the basement, where we usually chilled. I was the last one to get there. I sat down on one of the couches.
“All right I think it’s time to get down to business” Grayson said. We should probably start by telling each other our stats and stuff. Show stats to everyone in the room

Finally I showed my stats window. Everyone seemed a little confused by all the question marks. In truth I was too. My race was sort of a wildcard. It could really turn out to be anything.
Grayson then spoke up “I was at the meeting last night for the chaos knights and it’s looking like there might be some trouble in the future with them. About fifteen hundred kids were at the meeting and it filled up the entire gym. I think probably a little over a thousand kids joined their guild and more are probably going to join. Knowing how Nick is he’s probably going to try and subjugate all the other people in the school. I already heard that that dungeon that got found has been taken control of by them and they are only letting those who are a part of their guild actually use it. I really think that we need to help oppose them”
“But there’s only five of us though” commented Sidney “how could a group as small as us take on one as big as them.”
“I have an idea about that” said grant. “We could help start an alliance of guilds whose main goal is to oppose the Chaos Knights. However if we are going to become the leaders of a group who is going directly against the strongest knights in the land than it would be for the best if we hid our identities”
“Yeah it would be hard to do that with your name floating above your head” said Grayson.
“You know how I was at the library yesterday” said grant “I went in order to see if the books have changed in any way. It seemed like everything was the same but then I saw this one red book that was really out of place. I’ve been in the library so many times that I know it better than the librarian. Anyway I tried to take the book off the wall and it opened a secret tunnel behind the bookcase that went down to a sort of basement to the library. I went down to the foot of the stairs but I didn't go any farther because something shot an arrow at me so I just ran away. Anyway I was hoping we could go as a group to check it out when we level up a bit”
“Yeah that reminds me” I said “we really need to raise our level or at least gain some skills. By now we may be the only level ones left.
“I may be able to help with that” said Grayson “I'm probably good enough with most martial arts to get you started. Well go to the dojo.”
Grant mumbled something about going back to the library. The rest of us went over to the dojo. Once we got there he looked us over. To Hannah he gave a bow and sent her out back where there was a target to shoot at. To me he gave a sword. He pointed me toward a dummy which I started hitting to my heart's content. He then set Sidney up with a dummy to punch but when she only did that half heartedly he decided to teach her a few defensive moves to help her defend herself.
As I hit the dummy a blue box appeared in front of me
you have gained the skill sword mastery
Sword mastery beginner level 1 0%(passive)
10% more damage done with a sword
1% quicker when using a sword
I smiled and kept on hitting. After a while Grayson came around and showed me the proper technique and my sword mastery started to go up much quicker than before. By the end of the day I had earned 3 stats in vitality, agility, and strength and gotten to level 2 in sword master.
It was after the sun had gone down that Hannah and I started walking toward our houses. As we walked I sensed something walking around beside us. I started focusing on my mana vision only to sense not just one but several things. I stopped. Hannah, get out your bow I said. She quickly strung up the bow that Grayson had given her to practice with and knocked an arrow. I pulled out the wooden sword that I had been practicing with, also a gift from Grayson. Six black shapes moved from the brush and surrounded us. The name wolf stood above their heads followed by a menacing lv 26. My eyes darted around looking for some way to escape but there was none. One of the wolves jumped at me and I swung my sword keeping it from ramming into me. My attack however didn't seem to faze it, only anger it. Hannah shot an arrow at one of them, which pierced its hide but didn't seem to hurt it that much. Another jumped at me and I dove under it swiping at its stomach with my sword. It didn't seem to hurt it that much. The battle continued like this, me dodging and taking swings and Hannah running around shooting arrows. Nothing we did however seemed to hurt them much. The difference in our levels was just too great.
Suddenly I was running sideways I tripped over something, narrowly missing the attack of a wolf. My sword went flying from my grasp. I grabbed at the ground desperately trying to find something to defend myself with. Suddenly I felt a rusty piece of metal in my hands. Great, an old metal rod. This might actually hurt them I thought. I sprang off the ground swinging my hunk of metal at a wolf that was running for me. It sank deep into the calf of the wolf, with blood gushing out of the wound. Hmm so maybe this isn’t just your average metal rod. It seemed that this was actually a real sword. So why the hell was it just sitting on the ground in the middle of the woods? With no time to think more on that question I sliced at the next wolf. We were running out of stamina but so, it seemed, were the wolves. With the tides of the battle changed by my new sword I quickly was able to take out two of the wolves with the help of Hannah’s constant firing of arrows. The next three went down one by one leaving only one left. This one was a good foot longer than the others we had fought and had a terrifying lv 32 above its head. It seemed like it was the leader of the pack. It pounced on me pushing me to the ground. It was about to bite at my neck, an attack that would have killed me because of my low health. Suddenly an arrow flow into its eye and it pulled its head back howling in pain. This gave me enough time to swing my sword decapitating it. I lay there breathing heavily with the body of the wolf slowly disintegrating into little particles.
Thanks for the save at the end there I said to Hannah
No problem she said I even generated a skill precise shot because of it. I got up and picked up the loot on the ground. It was mostly the furs of the wolves but there were even some copper coins on the ground. I picked them up and gave half of it to Hannah. After that we walked home
When I finally got home I looked at the blue windows which had opened up during the battle. Three were level ups from the wolves. The last one however surprised me.
you have discovered a racial trait.
You get x2 the stat points when leveling up
When I looked at my stats window it showed that I had 60 sats which I still had to distribute. I decided I would use them in the morning and flopped into bed. I immediately fell asleep
