"Jonny get up it's time for work" said a voice.
My eyes flick open and I look at my surroundings with a growing sense of panic before realizing I'm in my own room. I turn to my after standing in the door way and say "yes sir".
I pull on a tunic and tall leather boots that are almost worn through. I leave my room and find my quotation father quotation waiting for me by the by the door to leave. as I follow him outside I see the huge blacksmith forge attached to our house. As my father and I get to work I'm creating new weapons for the kings army at least that's what he told me there were for I realize there's a strange bubble that is growing from my father's hand until it drops from his head like sweat. It seems like he's can't see it and only I can and as a hover my hand over it I see a system screen appear much like a video game and it shows.

After the attribute bubble enters my body I sense a whole new understanding of my fathers actions. As I help him work for hours on end he continues to drop this attribute bubbles. By the time we had made 3 swords I had gained 240 more points into blacksmithery meaning I had progressed from the foundation understanding to the apprentice level. My stats now look like this

After we were done for the day my father was discussing why the king needed more weapons so badly. My father said " because the monsters are roaming about with more numbers and they are getting stronger as well. With this is mind I realized that with my system I could pick up any skill I needed to and reach a proficient level with relative ease and I can do something to help this effort on the war. But first I needed to learn how to use a sword.
As I walk to the training area in town I follow the sounds of wood on wood and the grunts of men.
I approach the wide open field that was cleared for the use of drilling the soldiers in the ways of battle. As I approach I feel the gaze of some trainees on me and I stare back at them sizing them up. Average height average build. Not as big as me due to my years of working with my father I was tall and fit. Broad shoulders small waist and hulking muscles covered my body.
I approach the training master and on the way I pick up a few attributes.
Sword skills- 30/100 (foundation)
Spear skills -20/100 (foundation)
Fist skills -50/100 (foundation)
" hello Jonny is there something I can do for you" said Percy the training master.
" hello sir I wish to train" I said.
He bellowed a hardy chuckle and said " I've been waiting for this day".
As I followed him to the spot where the new trainees are he stopped and gave me a wooden sword and shield.
"You will need these".
" thank you sir". After this he instructed me on the 5 basic sword moves. The forehand, backhand, thrust, overhead, and the block. As he was speaking he dropped an attribute bubble bigger then all the rest. While walking I casually picked it up and saw that it was 60 points of basic sword skills. Meaning my sword skill was now at 90/100 almost to the apprentice level.
As I started training under the observation of Percy I couldn't see his eyes start to widen as I unleashed a flurry of strikes with the skill of a 2nd year trainee.
