He observed the interface for a good minute. "The general skill area has found a way to quantify all my experiences numerically, It's amazing! And the Martial Beginner title is also somewhat accurate since I did learn some Jiu-Jitsu after I injured my ankle, which did make me a mixed martial artist since I learned some Karate beforehand as well, and speaking of injuries."
Audry noticed he had a pain tolerance skill and a high disease resistance skill.
"No wonder my ankle still hurts even after it has healed up, it must have been affected by a underlying disease." He said, focusing on the disease tolerance skill to which an explanatory expansion of the skill appeared.
Disease Resistance lv6.
'Seeing opportunity at your weakest, you have been affected by arthritis in your ankle for a prolonged amount of time, but your well built body has persevered to still function.'
"Arthritis?! Well that is a surprise, I thought it only appeared on old people though, I'm still twenty-four after all." He said to himself then continued on with inspecting each skill, and feature of the system to get a better understanding of the tools he had that could help him. One thing about doing martial arts for a long time, was that knowing one's capabilities and limits helped create a feasible plan that could surely help in finding a way out of the unknown forest and hopefully he could find, civilization if there is one.
'For all I know I might be in an alien planet given the two suns that I see, which means I should condition my mind on possibly not ever seeing humans at all, but instead small framed, dark-eyed, green skinned men desiring to probe my rear.' He thought, to which he slightly chuckled, shaking his head at his paranoia. But what could he do? If it meant survival then he would become paranoid. A paranoid martial artist.
He became intrigued to know more about his stats, not sure what exactly they meant. 'And especially luck what does it entail that I have? And how will it help me? Will I be able to be lucky enough to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or something?' Thought Audry, who tried to cheer himself up with some light Joking. But instantly a pop up appeared with the description.
Luck: ‘Increases your good chances of getting more view traction from the StreamRealming Algorithm, hence more subscribers, however for battling it also increases the chances of receiving good rewards from the loot of killing monsters.’
Reading the description Audry squinted his eyes at the word 'MONSTERS' for an uncomfortable prolonged amount of time, that if the word could speak, it would beg the man to stop being a creep and look away.
'Monsters? It really wrote monsters!' A chill ran down Audry's spine, "Just what type of place am I at right now, to have monsters? So that terrifying roar I heard recently was probably not a tiger!?" He said, aghast at the revelation, and he without notice surreptitiously slipped deeper into the wet foliage at an attempt to hide his presence even further. A survival instinct to preserve one’s life.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
This Revelation fueled to spur him to find a way to get out of this forest as soon as possible. He then perused the interface to find at least a map or something to aid him with directions, but after an aggravating few seconds he found no such feature in the interface. "Just what kind of a**holes leave you in a foreign place without a map, is this like one of those messed up television shows where they leave you stranded in a country with no money or food? Because it sure feels like it." He said to which after furiously feeling vexed and resentful to those who put him here he calmed himself down.
Since trying to find a map was a dead-end he then looked for the second best alternative, the 'Shop' feature, With it he had the idea that if it's really a retail maybe he could buy what he needs such as a map. And that's what he did. He focused all his attention to the 'Shop' icon to which a pop-up appeared.
Shop: 'A retail that is between all realms to sell items, maps and offers new features to the streamers, it even collaborates with creators to make merch to sell and gain more power coins if you have reached a certain amount of subscribers.
Subscribers: With more existences that find your streams entertaining they will subscribe to your channel, and with more subs this equals more privileges inside the shop to aid in the creation of content for the benefit of the existences.
Shop floor levels are separated in numbers of subscribers; Level floor ten, level floor one hundred, Level floor one thousand, Level floor ten thousand, Level floor one hundred thousand, and finally level floor One millionth floor.
You currently have not reached enough Subscribers to use the Shop feature, please create more entertaining content for the existences for a chance to receive subscribers.'
“Damn It! Who are these fuck*ng existences?” Cussed Audry.
The interface did not answer him but remained silent, letting Audry remain alone with his consternation and frustration.
After squeezing the moist sand as a substitute for a stress ball, he calmed himself, "Okay, no need to get too upset, what else can I do. With the shop unavailable, all I just have to do is to work on a way on accessing it, so all I need are those subscribers. Yeah! This is like U-Tube I just need to create content but, what kind to instantly get Subscribers?" He said, scrolling the interface and then saw one of the first things he saw when he awoken up here.
