In a forest that could be considered normal if not for its extensive mass of land, such a scene happened. In six or seven far away places.
-What is this?!
-Where am I?
-Come out whoever thinks this is funny!
-This can't be happening again, I was sure I took my medicine this time…
And many other common reactions could also be sighted. Many people, men and women, young and old, with no apparent country or religion in special linking them all.
-Calm down everyone! Whatever is happening involves all of us, and it won't change with panic in our group. Let's all calm down and find a way out. Said a blonde man with good features in the middle of other ten people.
Some people were grouped from the start and some even knew each other, but ultimately, they were all alone.
-Children, listen to me. A maternal, calm voice spoke out, and it reached all the corners of the vast forest. The space distorted and a hundred people appeared in a white room at the same time.
In front of all of then a resplandecente and infinitely beautiful woman shrouded in light. So beautiful that she appeared to be the dream woman of all present and turned indescribable.
-I am the goddess Amengh, the one who brought you all here. This may be hard to believe, but this is not your world, but one full of magic and much less technology. One where levels and classes are essential to the daily live of all instead of a mere fantasy. I've called you all here because like other gods I wish to stop a calamity that is fast approaching this…
-So a goddess called a bunch of earthlings to do her job. I know gods have restrictions and can't act for your own interests easily, but your world should also have several someones that are as much or more qualified than the people from earth. Someone interjected.
The goddess smiled, as if she didn't care about being interrupted at all.
-This calamity has already stopped many of our tentatives to detain it. Calling upon heroes of another world is the newest method. The goddess eyes looked very warm, and she directed such gaze directly at Aki, who was questioning her.
-If that is so than I apologize. (Because I don't even believe you're a goddess at all! Even if you throw your charm on me I will only feel jealous and angry!)
-There is nothing to apologize about child. I shaw go on then…
So as to not lose much time, let me just say that they want everyone to live in this forest for a week 1 so they can train themselves to better adapt in the new world.
This forest is called "The forest of beginning". It will give an XP bonus of 100% to all actions performed inside of it, but only for people below a certain level.
Many such places exist around the world, and they are commanded by the gods and other great power with maximum vigilance.
"The forest of beginning" has helped raise many champions for the gods during its long existence, and is known as one of the sacred hunting grounds.
To acquire a class, one needs to perform certain actions or reach certain goals. If a normal man trains with the sword, he can achieve the job of warrior or swordsman, if he is elected by one with the power to do so, he may advance to Knight, if he kills a dragon through a hard life and death battle, them he will turn into a dragon knight, so on and so forth.
Obviously you need to have skill and power enough to do so, but one can always choose a second class or simply throw away their current class in case there is need to do so.
-Unfortunately, we can't help you much more, magic or other abilities, we do not have the authority to simply bestow these Into you. I ask for your help children. The goddess pleaded.
None refused to help. All went on, now knowing about status, classes and skills. And that upon dying in this forest they would be sent back to Earth.
(Ulter chickenshit! You might as well tell us the demon king is the culprit of bringing back the calamity, or maybe the elven matron! Let's play bitches!)
As Aki cursed and stared at the "goddess"'s large breasts, for no other reason than pretending to be charmed, she sent everyone back to their own bodies in the forest and Aki finally paid attention to the various notifications in the corner of his eye.
[Special action has been performed. Charm resistance is now level 1]
[*Ding* charm resistance is now level 2]
…
[Maximum experience reached, charm resistance is now level 6]
[*Ding* mind resistance is now level 6]
[You have performed a special action. Wisdom +2. Intelligence +2. Endurance +1]
-Being separated from your body and into a "divine space" already gave points, but this is not even close to enough. I need to get stronger if I wish to survive.
And so, Aki went to look for a stick.
…
-We need to put a bigger restrain on that guy, he seems to be short out of my charm.
-But ma'am, that's one of the candidates that have shown the biggest potential. A weak voice replied.
-That's exactly why I didn't tell you to kill him right now. *Slap* Do as I say and direct a monster to him, a goblin or a wolf will do. After he defeats it send the rest of the pack. It should I enough to get him distracted and vulnerable again. Said "Amengh".
The self proclaimed goddess now had a more describable appearance. One that could be resumed to "a bombshell brunette wearing a skin tight slutty outfit that didn't really leave much to the imagination and horns", or in a easier fashion, a very powerful succubus.
Her skin was rosy like any human, a defined, slim figure, but her human similarities stopped there. An hourglass figure that would make models say "impossible", smooth and soft skin that modeled to the touch, black eye sclera and golden irises, a long and rubber like tail that ended in a leaf pattern and black horns like those of a goat coiling around her head.
Through and through a succubus. A very powerful and slack faced one at that.
-Start this at once. I will be taking care of the losers and resting in my chambers. Call me only in a emergency.
""""YES MY LADY!""""
…
-Alright, this one should do it.
The now awaiting Aki, finally found it's first pray, a very big bull.
After many failed attempts, he now had a sharpened tree branch (plus twenty other broken ones) and had climbed a tree to get a vantage point.
He just didn't expect that while he was waiting for the bull to get closer, a wolf would appear and start growling at him.
The demon controlling the wolf was not in a body suited for it and knew he couldn't simply climb the tree, so he started howling, as if to call more of it's breathen, so the human would be scared and try to attack.
He just didn't notice the charging bull the other side of the tree. The bull was scared, and thought the howling was for him, so he charged head first into the wolf and tried running in the opposite direction as to the wolf had come from.
Obviously Aki wouldn't let him do so though.
Jumping down from the tree, he fell on the bull's back, left hand on it's horn and right hand holding the sharpened branch.
The bull tried to shake him off, but Aki was also panicking inside and just continued with the plan of stabbing the creature on the eye and carving the thing in it's brain.
[*Ding* you have killed [Charge bull]. For killing an opponent 30 or more levels above your own, you receive bonus XP]
[Special action has been performed. Subterfuge is now level 1]
[You have performed a special action! Dexterity +2]
[*Ding* You have met the requirements for a class change: Assassin - Basic knowledge of poisons and Subterfuge arts. Killed an enemy more powerful throughout assassination]
[As the name suggests, your job is to kill from the shadows from multiple ways. Blades, poisons, words, a true assassin is master of all.]
[Would you like to change to this class? Bonuses and skills will be applied after doing so]
"Yes"
[New class: Assassin. Vitality +5. Strength +5. Endurance +5. Dexterity +10. Intelligence +5. Wisdom +10]
[Your resistance to poisons is improved by 100%. Your poison damage is improved by 100%. Your Subterfuge skills are 100% more effective]
[Skills gained in Assassin:
Active: Backstab - Lv 1
Infuses mana into your attack when attacking from the back. 25% (50% after bonuses) more damage if undercover during attack.
Active: Poisoning - Lv 1
Coats something with poison mana for 2m and 30s (5m after bonuses)
Passive: Smooth steps - Lv 1
Your steps produce 50% (100% after bonuses) less noise.
Passive: Blade mastery - Lv 1
You deal 50% (100% after bonuses) more damage while using bladed objects]
-Uff, almost got my leg stuck in that thing. Now, let's play!
With his new class obtained, Aki started to train.
The "goddess" had explained that about skills and classes while on her lecture, but had also tried to infuse the information directly into their brains.
Attributes are the basic thing that does exactly what it implies. Vitality determines your health, Endurance your stamina and natural toughness, while wisdom shows how fast your brain works and your max amount of mana, while also adding 0.1% of recovery per minute for each 10 points. Dexterity is just your agility and coordination, while strength can also add a little of damage to spells, but intelligence is the one that gives more damage to anything that uses mana. There is also a natural recovery of 1% for mana and health, but Stamina has 10% recovery per minute.
When you level up you get points, and these points can be used to upgrade your status anytime.
Classes are what makes you able to level up and give you skills related to then when you reach certain milestones.
Anyone may have two classes, you can give one up, but the Xp will not be kept, nor the skills or points. Just like that. Even if the system says the second one is a subclass, the only difference is that it will not be shown if you are appraised.
(Poisoning! Backstab! It's still alive, so I guess I will just hit it in the head and run away. Even if I really want to try and eat that bull or at least get it's horn, but it definitely looks like I would need some time to do that with a stone.)
[You have killed [Gray wolf]. For killing an opponent 20 or more levels above your own you receive bonus XP]
[*Ding* Assassin is now level 2. 5 attribute points awarded.
*Ding* Assassin is now level 3. 5 attribute points awarded.
*Ding* Assassin is now level 4. 5 attribute points awarded.
*Ding* Assassin is now level 5. 5 attribute points awarded.]
[*Ding* Backstab is now level 2]
You may be waiting for me to tell you how unusual this is, but the truth is that the bonus XP simply goes to the used skills too and it was doubled because of the forest, so…
