Leveling Up

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[You have completed the basic tutorial. Would you like to continue to the advanced version? (Leveling Up, Attributes, Experience Categories, Classes, Help etc.)

Y/N

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sure! Go ahead."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have chosen to continue into the Advanced Tutorial. Would you like to complete this visually or audibly?

V/A

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Think I'll do it audibly, thank you. Might take too long for me to read through everything at the moment."

ANIDIOT: "Welcome back! You have chosen me to be your Master, so I can teach you everything I know. I must warn you that your training is going to be tough and excruciatingly painful, but---"

Me: "Is it too late to switch back to visual tutorials?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, but I will gladly take over this annoying buffoon's place. Do you want to switch to a better voice?

Y/N

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: Hell yea!! No offence IDIOT, but you're really annoying.

A female voice filled my head a few seconds later.

Female ai voice: (Gladys from Portal) "Welcome Test Subject 001. May the torture, I mean training begin. "

Me: "Oh god, no! Please tell me you're joking!?"

It went silent for a few seconds before I suddenly heard a woman laughing. When she spoke again, her voice changed to Cortana from Halo.

NOT: "I'm kidding. My name is Nero Optical Transmitter, or NOT for short."

Me: "Nice to meet you NOT. Would you mind if I gave you a nickname? No offence, but asking NOT for help just sounds weird."

NOT: "Sure. What would you like to call me then Kitai?"

Me: "How 'bout Cortana?"

NOT: "Nope. She's a bitch in reality."

Me: "Gladys?"

NOT: "Old lady name."

Me: "Edith? It might be a little bit old, but it works as a good acronym."

Edith: "Works for me. Please choose a topic that we should explore."

Me: "Let's start with Leveling Up or Experience Categories."

Edith: "Let's do both then. If you open up your Character screen, you'll see that you're Level 1. You'll also see your Name, Title and all your Classes. Your Attributes, Abilities, Skills, Perks and Flaws are all called on their own screens. Please select a screen you'd like to open."

Me: "Yea ok. Character!"

A big screen appears in front of me.

Level: 1 (0/300)

Title: None

Main Class: None

Advanced Class: None

Sub Class 1: None

Sub Class 2: None

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edith: "As you can see, there's not a lot going on here yet. As soon as you pick a profession in each class, they will appear here."

Me: "Ok cool! Close Character. Open Stats."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edith: "Your stats can be upgraded by either spending Attribute Points or Leveling Up. You're profession also plays a role in upgrading your Attributes. Some Stats might also be improved by using them more often. Like reading a Skill book, might raise your Intelligence."

Me: "Good to know. Cool Close Stats. Open Abilities.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: "What's the difference between Skills and Abilities?"

Edith: "Skills would drain the Attribute where it derives from where Abilities don't necessarily drain anything. Skills can also only be upgraded by the use of them them where Abilities are upgraded with the Attributes up until 50. After that Abilities can be upgraded individually."

Me: "Close Abilities. Open Skills."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edith: "Again, nothing much here. Skills can be obtained by completing hidden quests, they can be taught or you can read Skill Books or receive them from Runes. Some Skills are limited to classes however."

Me: "Makes sense. You can close the menu now. I doubt that I have any Perks or Flaws yet."

Edith: "You are correct. Now the last thing we need to explain is the Experience Categories. You have your General Experience, which affects your overall level. Professional Experience that affects your job and you have Battle Experience, that affects your Battle Classes. You get different rewards for each Quest that you complete. That pretty much concludes the Advanced Tutorial. Any questions?"

Me: "Nah. Oh wait. I'm pretty sure that I completed three quests or missions already. Do I get rewards for those?"

Edith: "Oh yeah. You'll find your rewards in the Notification screen."

Me: "Thanks. Open Notifications."

Me: "Can I get a slightly better description of the rewards?"

Edith: "One is pretty self explanatory. You get General Experience. Two and three give you Attribute Points. Option two raises the Points randomly where three lets you spend it as you see fit. Option four recovers your injuries and refills your energy completely. Option five gives you a random item."

Me: "Thanks Edith. I think I'll take the Random Item."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[You have chosen the Random Reward.]

[Congratulations you received: Empty box.]
