Don't blame me if I suddenly drop this and give up. I hope at least one person can enjoy this and I'll try continuing but there is no scheduled release of these chapters. Any names or things in this is purely coincidence I just think up random things and write them have fun. (I am restarting my novel and changing it up from before)

Waking up in a cave

(authors here just needed to let you know before you know that [ ] this means it's the system screen showing you stuff and that * * this means it's the system saying something.)

When I woke up I slowly looked around suprised as I'm barely able see anything with how dark it is.

"Where am I?" (Alex)

I began to look around some more and found out that I'm in a small cave with no exit. I started to get worried but quickly calmed myself down. After I had calmed down I decided to check my status.

"Status!" (Alex)

"Ok everything seems normal except the face that I'm super weak..... WAIT WHAT!!! I-I'm a skeleton!.... That damn God making me a skeleton and not a human... Whatever can't let it get me down. Yeah what dose it matter. Right? At least I'm alive again." (Alex)

After a while of pondering about the fact that I'm a skeleton now I suddenly heard a loud noise in my head.

*Ding. Host has learned the skill Basic Darkness vision.*

At first I was scared because of hearing a random noise in my head but after hearing what it had to say I was pretty excited. After taking another look around I noticed that my new skill didn't really give any improvements to my sight so I was confused.

"Status." (Alex)

After a few minutes of staring at my skill trying to see if a description would pop up I heard the system again.

*Ding. Host has learned the skill Basic Appraisal.*

When I heard what the system said I decided to appraise my attributes, buff, and skills I had to know what they are.

*Ding. Skill Basic Appraisal leveled up*

When I finished reading everything I got a new notification about my appraisal skill but noticed it wasn't to important. After thinking about it decided to try and level up my Darkness vision. I slowly stood up and started walking around the small cave looking all over the place. While looking around I found a small exit but decided not to leave thinking I should use this cave to train myself.

*Ding. Skill Basic Darkness vision leveled up.*

*Ding. Skill Basic Darkness vision leveled up.*

*Ding. Skill Basic Darkness vision leveled up.*

*Ding. Skill Basic Darkness vision leveled up.*

*Ding. Skill Basic Darkness vision has advanced into skill Intermediate Darkness vision.*

While looking around the cave I noticed could see a tiny bit better with every level. After my skill advanced to intermediate I noticed there was a bigger difference then before. It still wasn't much of an improvement and was still very hard to see in the cave. That's when I remembered there's gotta be an inventory that comes with my system and not just a status page.

"Inventory." (Alex)

Right after saying that a screen popped up showing a grid with 100 squares. While looking through them I noticed one that seemed to look like a set of clothes, another that seems to be a ticket, and one that seemed to be a note.

First I pulled out the note and read what it said surprising me.

'To my new friend Alex. I have decided to give you my blessing and a present to help you in this new world. Inside your inventory you will notice what seems to be a ticket. This ticket is a basic weapon ticket that allows you to choose any type of weapon you want. You can choose anything from a sword to a bow but it must be a cold weapon any cold weapon you can imagine that's not to strong. That means no holy sword or magic bow just a basic cold weapon. I hope you have fun in this new world.

Your new friend Femis.'

"Well I guess it's something useful and not just a piece of paper like I thought it might of been." (Alex)

I then proceeded to pull the ticket from my inventory and think of what type of weapon I want to use. While thinking I decided to pull out the clothes set and inspected them.

[ Black shirt: A black long sleeve shirt enchanted by the god Femis himself. Grants 20 defence. Has the abilities to clean and repair itself.

Black pants: A black pair of cargo pants enchanted by the god Femis himself. Grants 20 defence. Has the abilities to clean and repair itself.

Black cloak: A black full body cloak enchanted by God Femis himself. Grants abilities to hide all statuses of items and status of the person wearing this. Has the abilities to clean and repair itself.

Black boots: A black pair of steel toed work boots enchanted by God Femis himself. Grants 20 defence. Has the abilities to make less noise, be sneakier, cleans and repairs itself

Black gloves: A black pair of gloves enchanted by God Femis himself. Has abilities to hide your hands and part of your arms, cleans and repairs itself.

Black mask: A black mask use to hide your face (cloak hides the rest of his head) so others can't see what you are. Has abilities to clean and repair itself while hiding others from seeing what you are. ]

(author here to let you know that all these items are black because I felt like the look would be alot cooler)

"Wow that's pretty good I got more then I asked for. Next time I see that god I'll have to say thanks for these." (Alex)

After I finished inspecting my clothes I decided to put it all on. When everything was on I noticed it all felt really comfortable and safe while hiding the face that I'm not human form others.

'Alright I've decided. The weapon that I'll use is gonna be a scythe from now on because it seems cool to me that a skeleton is using a scythe like the grim reaper and I just feel connected to it in a weird way as if it's calling to me.'

I ripped the basic weapon ticket in half and said.

"Scythe" (Alex)

Suddenly a scythe that seems a bit longer, bigger, and more dangerous then what I imagined appears. After looking over the scythe and noticing it looked cool while being strong and sturdy I decided to inspect it.

[ Basic Scythe: A scythe made to be a strong and durable weapon for the person using it. Grants 2 strength and has the ability of self repairing. ]

Reading about the scythe suprised me as I didn't expect a weapon to give me attributes. Picking up the weapon and swinging it a few times I noticed that I seemed to be using it wrong so I tried changing how I'm swinging it and after a while of repeatedly changing the way I'm suing it. I got another notification from the system.

*Ding. Host has learned Skill Basic Scythe mastery.*

I then appraised my new skill wanting to know what it does.

[ Basic Scythe mastery LVL 1/5: Helps you use the scythe better. ]

I then continued to swing my new scythe for a while to level up my new skill scythe master.

(and here is where we end it I hope you liked the chapter.)

I may change things about the skills or the system later but for know I like it like this. I hoped you enjoyed reading my novel and this chapter was fun to make. I'll explain more about the skills and other things in the future.
