Talent: Psychometry
Title: Tutorial Initiate
Wave stared at the display in front of himself. “Those are a lot of different stats for energy usage, and no Levels what is this!”
Wave was angrily shouting to himself. Suddenly he realized something. “Wait when did I start this game, and for that matter, who am I?”
Wave tried to find a log out button, but at last he could not.
Suddenly he hears a voice in his head. “Welcome Wave Droplet into the world of Skilled Riser.” Wave calms down a bit and continues to listen.“In this game, each individual is to learn, strengthen, and combined skills.” “So this is a game!” Wave shouts, however the shock of not having any memory returns to him.
The voice goes on. “Unlike other Massive Multiplayer Virtual Reality Role Playing Games,This one does not Rely on levels, but instead through
your hard work at combat, and other tasks. Through your efforts your stats will rise.”The voice has now stopped for about five minutes, but soon
continues. “Wave Droplet, you may have noticed a talent at the bottom of your display earlier, each individual starts of with one unique talent,
which helps them gain skills. You may check the description of your talent by thinking about it, go ahead and try.” Wave thinks about the talent and
sure enough the description appears right under the name of the talent itself.
Psychometry
Description: The unique ability to understand an objects history and how to use that item.
You will have an easier time learning weapon and item related Skills.
This Talent also allows for a skill to be learned related to the individual weapon itself.
The weapon must be equipped in order to use individual skills.
Almost like on cue the voice begins as soon as Wave finished reading the description“It seems like you have finished reading the description,which means it is about time to learn your first skill.” Wave is waiting patiently for the voice to go on with its guidance. Suddenly a small bear appears.
“See that bear I need you to kill it, pick one of these skills to learn.”The voice says to Wave just before a menu appears in front of him
with three options.
Kick
Bite
Punch
Wave looks at the three options and thinks to himself. (Who in their right mind would choose the middle option to kill a Bear?)
Wave selects the first skill Kick.
Wave Droplet gained the Skill Kick
Current Skills: Kick Skill understanding 1
“ Ah the Kick Skill excellent choice. I am sure you have noticed the Skill understanding and the number one next to it, this determines how strong the skill is, The higher your skill understanding the stronger and individual skill will become, also a higher understanding makes skills more efficient as
well as allowing you to combined skills together in order to make new and more powerful skills. ”Wave listens closely to the voice before starting the fight.
Wave runs towards the small bear and kicks it under its front legs. The bear has a few bruises on its front paws, from what Wave could tell.
Even though Wave kicked the bear in the front legs he still got scratched. His Hp dropped by 10. His Aura dropped by 5.
His Life force dropped by 5 as well.
Wave's stamina was also lowered by the use of his kick skill by 5%. “Okay so mt Hp, Aura, and Life force all seem to be related to my health.”
Wave says to himself not noticing the bear backing up and starting to charge. The bear hits wave right in the stomach, but also is sent backwards from the shock wave.
Hp dropped by 40. Aura dropped by 20. Life force dropped by 20.
Wave breaths in slowly to calm his nerves and to focus, as he does he notices something. His life force and Aura start to regenerate,
and are soon fully restored. Wave also notices his breath has went down by 5%.He kicks the bear again while still calmly breathing.
His stamina lowers by another 5% but he notices the kick seems to have done more damage.
“I get it now, my breathing steadied my muscle control.” Wave whispers to himself.
Kick skills understanding has in increased by 1
Wave manages to doge the next charge, and counter with the kick, which now does even more damage thanks to the increase in understanding.
It takes wave about six more attacks but he finally kills the bear. The voice speaks yet again. “Congratulation on killing the bear, once the tutorial
is finished you will receive a reward based on your results. Now Its time to talk about defensive skills, please choose one of these three from
the following menu.”
Defend
Brace
Guard
Wave thinks about it for a few seconds prier to selecting the Guard skill.
Wave Droplet gained the Guard Skill
Current Skills: Kick Skill understanding 2/ Guard Skill understanding 1
Wave's head fills with the knowledge of how to use guard and of course the voice goes on. “To test this skill you will need to take a lot of damage,
there for I will restore your Hp, Aura, and Life Force.” Wave sees his only depleted health stat Hp restore to maximum, just is the voice explains
more of what is needed of himself.
“I have set up many traps around here, set them all off while using your defensive skill. Warning you must use it at all times while setting of traps ,
other wise your Hp, Aura, and Life force will drop to zero, in which case you will have to start the tutorial from the start with a small penalty. ” Wave
thinks about it, before heading into the traps while having is guard skill activated.
The first trap he set of happened to be about six arrows.He only took about one damage for each arrow, well two to his Hp, one for both Aura and
Life force.The next trap wave tripped over a wire which launched the same amount of spears compared to the arrows, but did double damage to
him. “Man that hurt, I can see why you need to use your defensive skills.” Wave mutters to himself.
Next a large ax about half of his size comes swing towards him. His Hp drops by triple the amount of all six arrows from the beginning, as well as
his aura and life force. Wave leans against the wall and hits a switch. The switch triggers a fire, which looks like something breathing fire. This fire
does four times the amount as the six arrows combined. (Oh, so guard works on magical type damage as well.) This is the though in Wave's head
just before a message pops up.
Guard Skill understanding has increased by 1
Wave noticed the next trap only does two times the damage in comparison to the six arrows. This trap was terrifying to wave however, it was one of
those pits with spikes. The final trap was not something Wave would have thought of. Wave hears and explosion from above his head as a large
boulder lands on top of him dropping his Hp to 1, and dropping his Aura, and Life force to 2. “If my Guard skill did not increase I would have had to
start this all from the start.” Wave says to himself.
Wave can hear the voice echoing in his head. “Splendid, you have passed the defensive section of the tutorial. Next we will talk about magic skills,
Please pick one of the following.” Wave looks at his choices available.
Basic Fire
Basic Water
Basic Earth
Basic Wind
Basic Lightning
Basic Ice
Basic Light
Basic Dark
Basic Shadow
Basic Spirit
Wave thinks about how there are way more choices then usual, before he picks Basic Lightning.
Wave Droplet gained the Skill Basic lightning
Current Skills: Kick Skill understanding 2/ Guard Skill understanding 2/ Basic Lightning Skill understanding 1
Wave patiently waits for the voice to explain what it is that he will be doing next. “Some enemies and monsters cannot be killed with physical skills,
this is why elemental and magical skills exist.” A small turtle appears in front of wave. “Please kill each enemy that appears in front of you until your
Mp is at zero.”
Wave's head is starting to hurt from the voice speaking in his head all the time. Wave strikes the turtle with his basic lightning, which only cost him
one Mp. The turtle instantly dies, and in its place a small raccoon appears. The raccoon dies from two cast of basic lightning. Next up is a small
sheep, the sheep takes three shots of basic lightning in order to die. This continues with each enemy needing one more shot of basic lightning than
the previous one, until he is down to the last one, which happens to be some sort of fur covered giant bee.
Wave only needs one more shot of basic lightning to kill it, however it is now flying to far for him to reach it. (It does not seem to be coming down.)
Wave is thinking to himself. Suddenly he remembers that lightning does not only go forwards but strait up as well.
Basic Lightning Skills understanding has increased by 1
The lightning shoots up from Wave's palm and kills the giant furred bee. Wave can feel another headache starting from the voice. “Bravo, you have
done well killing that bee. Next it is time to learn about knowledge based skills. Please choose one of the following.”
Accounting
Herbal Lore
Monster Lore
Beliefs
Gem Lore
Studying
Biology
Wave ponders over his choices before he selects the one that he thinks may be the most useful.
Wave Droplet gained the skill Herbal Lore
Current Skills Known Kick Skill understanding 2/ Guard skill understanding 2/ Basic Lightning Skill understanding 2/
Herbal Lore Skill understanding 1
Wave feels the very basic of herbal knowledge fill his head. “I see that you have picked the skill Herbal Lore, in just a brief moment I will set up the
area to test out the skill.” Is it just Wave's imagination or does the voice sound kind of exited about his selection. While this thought finishes, a bunch
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
of scents fill the room, not just that but the surroundings fill with a multitude of colors on the ground, as well as the feeling of fresh air.
“In order for to test the skill Herbal Lore you need to identify herbs. Please go ahead and start.” The voice finishes telling wave of his new task.
Wave starts to look around, bends down onto his knees to get a closer look at the nearest herb. “Oh this is Mint, and the one over hear is
peppermint, as well as spearmint next to that one.” Wave speaks in a manner which is like he is trying to explain to someone next to himself.
Wave gets up and heads to the next area, which seems to have some trees about 30ft tall. The familiar sent fills Wave's nose, as he walks up to
one of the trees. “This is cinnamon, man I have always loved this smell.” Wave thinks about what he just said, before he remembers that he had
forgotten everything he ever knew. Wave peals a piece of the bark from the tree, and takes a bite of it.
All energy related stats have been filled
(Oh, so cinnamon can restore my Mp and all of those stats.) This is what Wave is currently thinking to himself. Wave moves on to the other trees in
the next area, which are with out a doubt apple trees. Wave eats one of the apples that had landed on the ground.
All health related stats have been restored
“Okay so apples will be good if I need to restore my Hp, life force, and aura.” Wave goes around and finds many herbs he knows, such as ginger,
dandelions, dill, and garlic to name a few, before he comes across an orange flower with lightning shaped green bolts in the center of each petal,
with a blue stem. “Only one way to find out what this is.” This is what wave says to himself before pulling one of the petals and taking a bite out of it.
You have been poisoned
Wave begins to panic as he watches his Hp, Aura, life force, as well as his breath start to drop. Wave search through all thee unknown herbs trying
to find a cure but nothing helps. Wave then goes back to all the herbs he knows, but most of them only restore his health temporally. Wave gathers
as many appeals as he can carry, while heading to the ginger and garlic. Wave pulls out the garlic and takes a bite this does not help. Wave digs out
the ginger and takes a bite out of the root, but this does not help at all, besides of course restoring some health and Stamina.Wave looks at the
ginger root. “No way, how could I have mist that, the roots of the other unknown plants.” Wave says to himself before the message pops up.
Herbal Lore Skill understanding has increased by 1
Wave tries all the roots of the unknown plants other then the one he got poisoned from yet nothing worked. Wave reaches the plant with the green
lightning bolts, in the center of the orange petals, as well as the blue stem, and digs out its roots. The roots are a deep red color. Wave takes a bite
out of the root.
Poison has been cured
“Right some plants are like that, were part of it is poisonous, and another part of it is the cure to that type of poison.” Wave mutters to himself.
Herbal Lore Skill understanding has increased by 1
“I am glade to see you are alright, knowledge based skills are not just information, but research as well.” Wave feels the pressure from the voice in
his head. “You have passed the knowledge based skill tutorial, let us get on with the tool based skills. Please choose one of the following tool skills.”
Wave takes a hard look at his chooses.
Hoe
Hammer
Net
Shovel
Screwdriver
Pen
Fence
(I am not sure what is best for me, so I guess I will pick hammer.) This is Wave’s trail of thought before making his choose.
Wave Droplet has gained the Skill Hammer
Current known Skills: Kick Skill understanding 2/ Guard Skill understanding 2/

Wave sighs as the voice starts to explain tool skills. “Many tools have different uses, you have chosen the Hammer skill. The hammer can be used
to break things, repair things, and of course it can be used to mine gems. You will be using the hammer to mine gems. Go ahead and pick up the
hammer that will appear in front of you shortly.” Wave wait patiently for the hammer to appear, and it soon does. Wave reaches down and picks up
the hammer.
Low grade metal hammer now wielded
Wave feels a surge of information enter his mind after picking up the Low grade metal hammer, like how and when it was made, as well as the mostefficient way to use it.
Psychometry talent now in use
Skill unlocked Iron scan
Current known Skills: Kick Skill understanding 2/ Guard Skill understanding 2/
Basic lightning Skill understanding 2/ Herbal lore Skill understanding 3/ Hammer Skill understanding 1/
Iron Scan Skill understanding 1
Wave thinks about the skill and reads the description.
Iron scan: Send Psi through the hammer to search for Iron. Only available while Low grade metal hammer is equipped.
(So that is why the text is a different color.) Wave is looking at the skill in current known skills while having this thought. Wave now hears the voice
in his head. “Ah you have used your talent to gain a skill during the tutorial, a note on talents, some make additional chooses available during the
skill choose selection of this tutorial. I would now like you to use your hammer skill to mine for different gem stones.”
Suddenly a cave, a few boulders, and some shining rocks appear just behind Wave. Wave approaches one of the boulders and hits it with his low
grade metal hammer. The boulder breaks as five of Wave’s RP are lowered. “RP and tools why does that sound familiar to me, almost like I played a
game the used RP.” Wave whispers to himself before bending over to pick up the stone fragments.
Scrap Iron gained x6
Wave moves on to the next boulder.
Rusty lump gained x2
“What in the world!” Wave yells at the top of his lungs. Wave decides to go into the gave for now. Wave finds a rock jutting out from the cave wall
and hits it with his low grade metal hammer.
Extremely low grade Ruby gained x1
Wave looks at the extremely low grade ruby.
Extremely low grade Ruby: This ruby is so low graded that no one will ever buy it.
Wave continues in the cave until his RP is depleted, and all he has to show for it is a bunch of Extremely low grade gemstones. Wave leaves the
cave and decides to test out the Skill Iron scan while he is waiting for his RP to be restored. Wave channels Psi through the hammer and it starts to
vibrate, at first it is a low vibration but as he moves the vibrations continue. Wave gets near a small river, the vibrations have gotten so strong that he
his nearly pulled into the river. Wave drops the hammer.
Iron Scan has been locked
Wave ignores the message as he picks up rocks from the river, and soon finds what he is looking for.
Iron gained x1
Wave picks back up the low grade metal hammer.
Iron Scan has been unlocked
Iron scan has only cost Wave one Psi. Wave uses the skill again, this time he is lead to a patch of grass, but this time he does not need to put down
his hammer. Wave searches through the grass and finds a small piece of iron.Next Wave comes to a tree, and digs under its roots to find more iron.
Wave is then lead back to the river, and he repeats his previous action. Then wave is lead to another tree, and digs for iron. What happens next
confuses Wave.
Wave is lead to and opened field, and the only thing there is a small dear. As Wave gets closer to the dear the hammer vibrates more, yet Wave
cannot see any location for the iron to be. The dear leaves and the hammers vibrations start to get lower the farther the dear gets. (Why would my
Iron scan skill think there was iron on the dear.) Wave ponders to himself, before it hits him. “Oh, that is right dear are a source of iron!”
Iron Scan Skill understanding has increased by 1
At this point Wave’s RP has been restored so he does not bother chasing the dear. Wave comes to one of the shining rocks, and uses his
hammer skill on it. Wave picks up some pieces.

“Oh so the shining stones have better grade gemstones.” Wave happily makes this statement.

What happens next is no longer surprising for Wave, he hears the voice in his head. “Crafting skills use your heart and soul to make objects, hence
they use up essence. Crafting skills are not the only skills that make use of essence, but you may find out that at a latter date. Please enter the
workshop and make some accessories.”
Wave sees a building appear close to his location. In front of this building are some peppermint leafs growing, some tall grass, and a couple of trees.
Wave enters the workshop and finds, yarn, with a few different colors, iron, a furnace, and another low grade metal hammer. Wave picks up the
yarn and begins to braid a bracelet with three different colors.
Friendship bracelet

Poor Iron ring
Poor Iron ring description: This ring was made by a beginner in accessories, that is why it is such a low quality.

(Oh so the hammer can be used to make accessories as well.) Wave thinks as he looks at the hammer.
Hammer skill understanding has increased by 1
Wave goes out side to cool off from the hot air of the furnace.Wave looks at the grass that is almost like yarn. Wave pulls a few pieces of grass from
the ground and braids them together. This cost about the same essence as the friendship bracelet he made, while the ring cost about five.
Grass bracelet

to me what you want and the color of the clothing you wish to have. ”Wave asks for a pair of comfortable pants a plain white shirt and a long blue
vest, with many pockets. Wave receives the basic clothing that he asked to have and quickly changes into them.
Now that Wave is dressed the voice goes on. “I will now grant you attribute points which can only be spent now. Attribute points are very rare and

into vitality, hoping this will help his odds at increasing his health.
Suddenly a light in the shape of a woman appears and begins to speak. “Please take this storage bag for the items I have just given you.”(Oh so this
