Dream
Can't... What's going on? I was... Going to work? Right... Right... Where am I?
Zack glanced around, and immediately noticed his glaring lack of a body. And also eyes to glance around with in the first place.
What the hell...?
"Child of man."
Who the?! RRK! Zack recoiled in shock, a piercing pain wracking his entire body.
"Apologies, you are but the first of many. I realize your soul is yet still feeble."
Zack sputtered in spiritual pain before mustering his thoughts. Who the hell... Who the hell are you?
"It matters not. You will learn if you survive."
Well I've gotta call you something... Alright, Mr. disembodied voice, William it is! Also survi-WHAT?!
"You have been granted a second life. Through either luck or works fate has given you this chance. Also, William? Odd name choice."
Zack seemingly ignored the latter statement in favor of the more pressing issue. Second life?! What, did I DIE or something?!
"Not quite. You were either dissatisfied with your life, or close to death already. But regardless of what has happened, you are being brought to the world of Parradi during a chaotic time."
Ok, hold on for a second. So effectively, I'm dead, right William?
"Yes."
So... I'm being isekaied?
Whatever the voice was, it seemed to pause for a moment before responding. "If that will help you understand, then effectively, yes.'
Bullshit! I finally got my dream job!
"It matters not. The process will proceed regardless. It has already begun, and will not end."
Zack mentally slumped, hitting the ground with his non existent knees.
"I am to assist you before you enter Parradi. That is my current purpose. The world of Parradi is not dissimilar to your races 'video games'. And I am to make sure you understand how to survive."
Zack internally sighed before sitting up. Go on.
"State to yourself, 'class'. Hurry now, our time is limited."
Alright... Class.
Information flooded into Zack's mind, overloading his brain for a moment, before his mind sorted out the info in short order.
Zack, Wanderer.
Level 1
Class skills, Wanderlust.
Skills,
Stat gain, +2 strength, +2 dexterity, +2 constitution, +2 wisdom, +1 capacity +1 intelligence, +1 charisma, +1 manipulation.
What... What is all this?
"Your current class and it's benefits. Every time you level you will gain the stats listed. As well as occasional skills."
Wait but how do I level?
"It is in the name of the class. Whatever it is, that is what you must do. As long as you fulfill the requirement you will grow stronger. If you are unsatisfied with your class, pick a new one upon an advancement. You will be able to figure out how on your own. Next, speak 'status'.
For ripping me out of my bright future you sure are only mildly helpful... Status.
Another torrent of information, though easier to digest after having experienced it once already.
Zack, human.
Level 1
Strength 10
Dexterity 10
Constitution 12
Wisdom 9
Capacity 8
Intelligence 11
Charisma, 7
Manipulation, 3
Abilities, Planeswalker.
Wait, what the hell is the difference between abilities and skills?
"Is this your last question? I will not have the ability to tell you more until a class ascension."
Wait my questions were limited?! And the hell's a class as... Ah for the love of... Yes, that's my last question.
"Skills are specific to your class. Some skills remain after a class change but some don't. Abilities however, are specific to you. You may think of abilities as the sum total of a living being. They are earned through hardship and trial, permanent marks etched onto their bearers soul. I shall also inform you of this, your ability, Planeswalker. Refers to your nature as an otherworlder. Only other Planeswalkers will be able to see the ability. Additionally, you will be able to tell when you see another Planeswalker."
I see...
"It is now time to go. You will awake nearby a human town. It is up to you to survive from there. Wake soon, other worlder."
Alright, I've still got no idea wha-A staggering blow hit Zack's conscious, and he knew no more.
