[Warning: If you continue progressing along this path you will trigger a system change]
[Cultivation will be lost and converted into skill points]
[Skills will be lost and converted into skill points]
[Exta longevity will be converted into skill points]
[You will begin at level 1]
Do you wish to continue?
[Yes] [No]
"Huh?" Lief stared at the plain text that hovered in front of him for a moment before reacting,
"Lose my cultivation, my extra longevity and all my skills, does that mean my alchemy?! I have spent my whole life learning skills and you think ill just give it away?"
At this moment another piece of text popped in in front of Liefs eyes.
【Not giving your cultivation up is fine, just turn back.】
As Lief read this he seemed to be complementing several choices as his facial expressions constantly shifted.
"I...Can't turn back."
At the same moment Lief finished speaking he dashed forward attempting to get past the "tabs" that were open in his vision!
Alas, no matter how far he ran the text stayed where it was and not only that, after running for several seconds he immediately found himself back at the sign that looked as if it was regularly replaced.
Warning: Past this sign resides the Forgotten Forests.
Entering this region may cause:
Death, nausea, insanity and WILL not allow you to leave.
[Do you agree to the System Change?]
[Yes] [No]
Lief realised that he truly had to choose so, he asked two simple questions.
"What are levels and skill points?"
[Skill points are points that can make you stronger, faster and much more.]
[Levels are like this previous worlds Cultivation with differences.]
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
"What are the differences?"
[That information was deleted to save space. Old data is pointless therefore takes up pointless space.]
"The information was old, that's what you mean right? But my city only moved to the forests a few hundred years ago..."
[Incorrect. Based on the data gathered from the "Forgotten Forests" time moves 100,000 thousand or so times faster inside of the forests.]
[This is one of the reasons it is impossible to leave through normal means.]
[I must thank you for answering the question the system has had regarding the forests, before you, we had pondered how age worked in there.]
"Does that mean there is no longer anyone who used to cultivate alive??" Lief asked currently quite overwhelmed.
[That should be unless there are cultivators who left the earth three to four million years ago and are still living.]
[Do you agree to System Change]
[Yes] [No]
After hesitating for many minutes, Lief knew that he could not return to his City so his only choice was to comply with the "System Change". Whatever that meant.
He poked the "Yes" with his index finger.
Lief was quite surprised when it actually felt like he was pushing something, he hadn't heard of magic that could do something like that before.
'I guess that the kingdoms will be more advanced now huh?' he thought to himself.
After pushing the [Yes] it took a moment for anything to happen but then letters started to appear in Liefs eyesight.
[Calculating....]
[The Heaven Realm Cultivation will be lost and converted into... 353 skill points]
[All Skills will be lost and converted into 265 skill points]
[Extra longevity will be converted into 400 skill points]
[You will begin at level 1]
"Are skill points rare, I only got 1 for every 2 years of my life... I feel cheated..." Lief mumbled to the text but no reply came forward.
"So, how do I use these?" Lief asked after realising that he was ignored.
[There are many commands to say, the most commonly used ones are "Menu" or "Start". You may select an option with your voice or by picking them.]
"Huh... Um, Menu?"
After saying that several rectangles with text inside popped up.
[Magic] [Perks] [Stats (1018)] [Items] [Customisation]
Lief clicked on "Stats" because it had his points on it.
[Lief] (Level 1) (Class: Not yet chosen) (Job: Unemployed)
EXP: 0/100
Karma: Neutral
Titles: None
Mental State: Sta-Unst-!???!
Skill Points: 1018
Perk Points: 0
Strength: 10+
Defense: 10+ Endurance: 10+
Dexterity: 10+ Intelligence: 10+
Charisma: 10+ Perception: 10+
Luck: 10+ Stealth: 10+
"Oh, So its based on numbers? How high is high though... I want to be strong but would leveling up stealth make me hard to see? Oh If I made myself lucky would I not just get strong really fast... Probably not... Ill go even it out a little but go into strength and stealth most...
Lief decided very quickly on how he would put set up his skills...
His new skills were as follows:
Strength: 200
Defense: 100 Endurance: 100
Dexterity: 150 Intelligence: 90
Charisma: 50 Perception: 100
Luck: 100 Stealth: 200
Lief was thinking about his future jobs, at level one he is probably behind a lot of people so he was thinking he would become an adventurer until he had enough gold to purchase alchemy ingredients so he would be able to increase his skills back to their previous levels.
"I wonder how far that boost got my from regular people? I hope that my current "Stats would enable me to do battle with a level 2. maybe even a level 3. That would make the 800ish years of my life stolen worth it, besides Ill be able to make longevity potions within 10-20 years so it should be fine."
As Lief was about to say 'close' he noticed something strange.
"Whats wrong with my mental state?"
