(6) I give you my word

Elaine and Jake spent the day walking along the street of the Kingdom. They watched the arrangement of the festivities and talked about the most futile things.

'I'm glad to see she's smiling again,"

They found a bench to sit and discuss. On the bench, Elaine looked at the beauty of the kingdom at night, and she smiled pointing at the fireworks in the sky.

'I'm glad she's smiling again," Jake thought contemplating Elaine's beauty.

"Do you think we will survive this war?"

Jake was caught off guard by the question and took time to answer.

"Well... we've got the potential for it, and we have strong elves such as Lisanna,"

"But not all of our soldiers are as strong as Lisanna, don't forget we are going to fight png of the Kingdoms of Tirion!"

"It's true, thinking about it that way, they sound scary, but this just means we have to train a hundred times more than them,"

"Don't say non~"

"I know that I'm weak, but I'll get stronger, and I promise you that I'll find the ones who did that to Grayson and kill them!"

Elaine looked at Jake and started to giggle. Jake felt quite offended because he was very serious about what he said.

"Why are you laughing, in serious you know,"

"No need to get angry Rohan, it's just that you've change today, usually you scared guy who can't even say a sentence without confusing yourself in words, and now today you're able to comfort me and even start conversations,"

"That means I'm changing already, just wait and see, I'll get stronger I give you my word,"

After that conversation, Jake walked Elaine back to her guild's headquarters and he was using the map to walk back home.

The map acts as an indicator, it shows blue arrows on the floor on where to go. While he was walking, he started thinking of his training.

'Of course, I won't get strong enough if I stay here. I need to find a location where I can train without fearing an attack from the enemy,'

Jake was thinking so much that he bumped into an old man without wanting to. Surprisingly, Jake was the one who fell to the ground rather than the old man.

"You are a very weak young boy if an old man like me managed to bump you,"

The old man helped Jake stand up, and cleaned the dirt on his back.

"Thank you," Jake said, "you don't look like a white elf, your ears are much longer,"

"Oh yes, I'm a dark elf,"

'From what the system told me, dark elves have the most beasts and dungeons in the 5 elf kingdoms!' Jake thought.

"Your face looks brighter than before, have you discovered something?"

"What are you doing in this Kingdom at this specific time?"

"I came for vacation 10 moons ago, but now I will have to leave tomorrow night, but you don't seem ready for what awaits you for the next years!"

'Bring me with you! Bring me to the Kingdom of Rivera, the land of the dark elves!"

"That's sudden young boy, we barely know each other!"

"I don't care, I don't have what it takes to fight the green elves, and I know it, that's why I need you to take me with you, so I can get stronger and be useful to the people!"

"You want to get stronger in such a short lapse of time, no elf has ever accomplished such a thing!"

" I have to because I gave my word to someone that I would do it. I know it's so sudden, me asking you to take me with you to Rivera, but please take into consideration my request!"

The old man let out a big sigh before speaking once again.

"If I knew that bumping into someone would put me into so much trouble... Alright, meet me here tomorrow as soon as the sun rises!"

Jake nodded and ran back to his house using the map. Once he got home, he sat on his bed and decided to check his stats.

He pressed his chest and clicked on the stats icon.

[Level 1

Strength: 12

Agility: 10

Endurance: 1

Mana: 0]

"How can someone have 1 endurance?" Jake shouted, "anyways, the system said that my attributes would go up be one each time I level up,"

Jake thought he would try to do at least 5 pushups just to see his capacities. He laid down, and put himself in push up position. He tried to use the strength of his muscles to push himself back up successfully.

"One all ready!" Jake said.

However, he could already feel his arms shaking after only one pushup. He tried again, and managed to so a second one, and then a third one, a fourth one and the fifth.

"Great to know I can do 5 pushups, but my arms, they are acbit hing so much, it's as if I was doing this for the first time,"

Jake stood up, and sat on his bed, when he tried to lift his arms, they would shake and pain him even more.

"My endurance really is trash as hell, only five pushups make me feel like I did 100,"

Endurance was a white elf's weakest attribute. White elves are better at agility, and mana charge (the time it takes to charge your mana to a certain part of your body or your weapon. This increases the power of your attack).

They are quite balanced in terms of strength and mana. They are unpredictable because they manage to charge their mana to their weapons in less than a second and they are very quick with their feet.

Green elves have brute force, and large amount if mana. This means they can keep their mana charge even after they have launched their attack.

The fact their strength and endurance is incredible, they managed to suffocate you with successive attacks until they eventually hit you.

He decided to call it a day and do to sleep, tomorrow while everyone will be at the party, Jake will leave the Kingdom to perfect his training somewhere else.
