Chapter 1 - Gods? Magic? Skills? It's all here

A slow and boring day as per usual. Especially today. I didn't win a single game today. At least I had some fun and laughs. *sigh* Should I buy those new cards? Ugh, don't wanna, they're like 50 bucks each god damn it. I slowly push myself up and grab my bag, ugh, fuck man my feet. I'd lose some of my fat gut if I could walk and stand properly. Maybe I should hit the pool and do some swimming today? Hmmmmm, nah fuck that I'm hungry. Lets grab some Chinese for food and head home. *click* *click.* *clickclickclickclickclick* Oh yeah, the elevator shit bricks. Ugh, stairs it is then.

*squeak* *CRACK*

Pain. My GOOD friend. Instead of just my feet, now my entire FUCKING body. I have once again tripped over my bad feet and this time in a most excellent fucking spot. The stairwell of my local game store. *sigh* Why did the elevator have to be out for repair. FUCK! ............ Wait. I'm pretty sure my neck twisted at a wicked angle. Normally that means no pain. DING!

"Oh. Well, that's interesting. Floaty box, cool, normal, nice, awesome, wicked. I guess I am welcomed."

YES! YOU ARE! HELLO! PLEASE INPUT A NAME AND WE WILL TWIST MEMORY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR NEW NAME IS ACCEPTED!

"Uh, hmmmmm. Phoenix. Phoenix's are cool. Well, so are dragons but they're kinda over rated. They show up in every fantasy story ever, phoenix's need more love. Also they're immortal birds, what's not cool about that? Should I go for a family name too? That's what my last name is technically called right? Hmmmmmm nah, fuck my family. They never did anything for me. Just Phoenix is fine."

PHOENIX? GREAT! GREETINGS PHOENIX! WELCOME TO YOUR NEW LIFE! YOU DIED! SUCKS MAN! BUT WE HAVE BROUGHT YOU HERE TO FIX OUR PROBLEMS! YAY! EXCITING!

................................................. "Fan-FUCKING-tastic! I didn't even get a choice! FUCKING GODS! I'LL SACRIFICE MY HOT STEAMING SHIT! YOU CAN HAVE ALL OF IT YOU FUCKING CUNTS!" *SIGH* Okay I'm good, I'm fine, I'm still in pain too. I guess I'm still alive.

DING! Soul sync complete. Memory twisting complete. Memory download and upload complete. Awakening body.

Ugh. Shit. On a scale of 1-10, the pain is a 12. Why does it feel like my veins are on fire.

DING! Cleansing body..10%....64%.....97%..Body cleansed.

My eyes slowly flutter open. Looking around the room I see some fancy furniture, nice, sweet digs mate. Also everything seems kinda big? Looking down at myself I appear to be quite chibi. Soooo I'm a kid now? At least I'm not a baby. My extra memories tell me that although it looks nice and fancy in here its kinda not. Its like, low noble fancy. Awesome. So, am I a noble then? My clothes feel nice at least. Oh they're made of silk, HAH, so I'm a literal silky pants. Cool I guess. Before me lay my not so fancy table with some hot tea. White porcelain tea pot with dove carvings and a fancy glazed tea cup on a very plain looking metal tray. Tsk they skimped on the tray, ruins the whole vibe. Hmmm, that's some nice smelling tea. Shame, I prefer coffee. Also this sofa I'm sitting on feels great. It hugs my back so well! Guess I'll get to the meat of the situation. "Status."

And damn is the old man, well, an old man. Does magic increase life? I hope so. Also, isn't my family nice. Straight ignoring me half the time and just pretending I don't exist the other half of the time. Wow. So those comments are from the Goddess of Beauty? I guess shes free and, uh, has personality? Its kinda annoying though. Don't you have beauty stuff to do?

RUDE! AND NO, I'M SUPER FREE! EVERYONE ELSE IS SLEEPING! YAY! I'M SUPER DUPER FREE BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO DO! YAY!

The Von Xanas family guard the Serpent's Path of the Medusa Mountains in Fort Tanix. It is Tradition to name the 1st born son after the fort as a remembrance of the family's duty. They bar the only way of the Harthon Empire into the Torrin Kingdom. They started as Knight's 1200 years ago, slowly rising in rank and finally ascending to Ducal status 240 years ago. Starting 150 years ago the other Ducal family's have attempted to remove them from their Ducal status with little success.

The Von Xanas family is well known for their Psychic magic and high magical aptitude in general. Those whom possess Psychic magic are part of the main house with other's being considered branch family members. The family is known to be full of womanizers more so than other noble houses.

At 5 years old, every Von Xanas child is brought before the Head of the House to undergo an appraisal ceremony. They first touch an Aptitude Sphere which publicly displays your magical aptitudes. Then they touch a Status Orb which publicly displays your status. Considering you possess the Lord of Arcana Title, you have yet to choose your magical aptitude. Thus you came up as having none. Had your father not thrown you out before allowing you to use the Status Orb you would probably, maybe, perhaps not be considered useless.

Well Shit. Psychic Magic is the main stay and with high magical aptitude in general. Which I have none apparently. Also I totally missed that last part. Totally. Womanizers? Really? Noooo. Absolutely did not see that coming. What makes you think and say that? *sigh* Okay lets go with the Info Dump next.

DING! INFO DUMP chosen. Select information; (Stats, Levels, Ranks and Skills) (Titles and Magic)

(Stats, Levels, Ranks and Skills) chosen.

Stats

Strength - STR. For every point in STR you are capable of lifting 2.5 Kilograms of weight. Increases physical damage by 2 per point for physical attacks and STR based weapons.

Dexterity - DEX. For every point in DEX you increase craftsmanship and thievery success by a hyperbolic 1%. You also get a hyperbolic thievery protection of 1% per point in DEX. Increases physical damage by 2 per point for dex based weapons.

Agility - AGI. For every point in AGI you increase your running, climbing, swimming and flying speed by 1. Running and climbing speed is calculated via: 10% of SP, then add AGI. Swimming and flying speed is calculated via: 5% of SP, then add AGI. Flying requires the flight skill.

Intelligence - INT. For every point in INT makes you smarter, (DUH!), think faster and gives you a better memory to remember information. Increase magical damage by 7 per point in INT. Every 5 points in INT adds a hyperbolic 1% increase to alchemy and rune quality.

(7 IS THE FANCY MAGICICAL NUMBER FOR OUR WORLD! YAY! BEWARE THE NUMBER 7! AND THEIR MULTIPLES! ESPECIALLY 42!)

Wisdom - WIS. For every point in WIS you gain a higher comprehension of magic circles and runes. It also aids you in making the wisest, smartest or most optimal choice or decision. Every 5 points in WIS adds a hyperbolic 1% increase to successful alchemy and rune related actions.

Charisma - CHA. Every point in CHA makes you vastly more beautiful, cute, handsome and or sexy. It also aids it grabbing attention and hopefully being a better speaker. Some magics get a bonus based on your CHA.

(BY THE WAY, MY CHARISMA IS INFINITE! I'M THE GODDESS OF BEAUTY AFTER ALL!)

HAH, hopefully. Its quite obvious whom it failed on.

Vitality - VIT. For every point in VIT you gain 10 Health Points - HP. Your physical defense is equal to 10% of your HP plus STR. Your magical defense is equal to 10% of your HP plus INT.

Stamina - STA. For every point in STA you gain 10 Stamina Points - SP. Try not to hit zero or you'll pass out!

Mana. Mana is the life blood of the world. You need Mana to cast spells and use most skills. For every point in Mana you get 10 Mana for your Mana Pool - MP. Try your hardest not to hit zero! The closer to zero you are the more you'll feel like someone is using your skull as an anvil to forge a weapon and they keep missing the metal and smashing your skull!

Okay, killer headaches on the horizon in the future. Noted.
