Starting Stats.

Damien found a Rock to sit on right outside the novice village, and opened his status screen.

He calmly willed his status screen and first took a look at things.

"Ha Ha Ha!" Damien chuckled happily at the sight of the result of his hard work.

Except for today he had never missed a day of training in the past 3 years and with Joe's optimized training he had done his best.

Although this wasn't the peak of human attributes, it was so close, and he was pleased with his achievement.

The beginner stats ranged from 0 to 10 depending on each individual's prior condition.

Damien had been very strict with his food and any physical training; it was no surprise that his starting attributes were all on the higher side.

Although this was very high Damien didn't dare boast to be the highest since even Joe had written that there were people who had been training since birth and have broken human limit through the use of training ang chemical serums and other augmentations.

Damien reaching this high in barely three years without any such thing showed just how talented he was.

Damien shook his head in order to stop himself from getting overconfident.

Although he could already guess their uses, Damien immediately checked the effects of each stat. He didn't want to leave any stone unturned.

He currently had 6 active stats namely, Strength, agility, vitality, intelligence, health and stamina. Although he knew there were more stats, he focused on the ones he had currently.

Strength: It defines the amount of physical damage you cause when attacking with your bare hands or a weapon. This attribute is primarily used by attack-based Warriors. 1 attribute point equals 1 strength point.

Agility: It defines the rate in which you move as well as attack and even avoid the attack of a monster, NPC, or player. 1 attribute point equals 1 agility point.

Vitality: It represents the number of Health you have. This attribute is the most important at the beginning of the game because if your Health is too low, you will not be able to resist a monster's attack! 1 point of Vitality is equivalent to 10 Health.

Intelligence: It defines the number of skills or magic you can use as well as how fast you learn. This attribute is the most important one for Mana oriented type characters.

Stamina: It defines the duration in which any action can be done. If a character's stamina is depleted all other stat will be cut down to one-tenth. The main way to regain stamina is by resting. 1 attribute point equals 10 stamina.

Next thing he did was check his inventory. There was a worn-out pair of pants, a shabby looking pair of shoes, a worn-out sleeveless shirt, and lastly a rusted long sword.

Damien frowned at the long sword as he had no plans of using one instead, he preferred spears.

He sighed as he understood, these were the beginner items that were uniformly given to all players on entering the game, all new players and all pretty much useless since you weren't expected to use it for long.

But since Damien was currently in his underpants, he still took these trash items and equipped everything.

Although it didn't look very good it was better than roaming around half-naked.

He could guess that this could piss off NPCs as they were real people.

Although Damien wasn't sure but to be on the safer side, he threw everything on.

After the issue of clothing was resolved, Damien then opened the map feature to check where he was.

Except for the beginner village every other part of the map was black.

Damien immediately understood what was going on.

People needed to explore themselves before it was recorded on the map, or they could simply buy a map.

Since he wanted to get out of here fast, he needed to reach at least level 10 so he could be sent to any place of his choosing.

'But I have to do something first' Damien thought as he walked back into the village.
