Level and Rank

The carriage was part of a caravan that travel for travel for a very long time, the passenger starts to know each other by short conversation because the guards of the caravan forbid the prisoner to talk to each other.

By the littles pieces of information Ren heard they were sold to the Black Widow slaver guild, a small guild leads tyrannically by a young female elf.

The south was supposing to be inhabited by a large population that the biggest populated faction the Republic, approximately 2 times that population, thought it was said that all of that peoples never can come across some sort of understanding in form a stable government.

The caravans travel approximately 2 months in which Ren and his former slave companions were treaty very badly, so whatever progress Ren make in his body training what all to the trash because of the massive loss of weight.

This situation make the fight spirit of Ren cool down, since he come to earth he was of the short temper, never avoiding a fight (thought never start one), now he was ambushed after a few minutes of reaching the new world of Trencai, as they can't talk between themselves in presence of his guards, Ren start to think heavy of the words of the goddess.

Why the answer of the calamities in his home world were here, and about the earth too, why the local inhabited treat the earthling so well, why the few people of this world were no shocked when he talks about it, it was like it was no first time.

A strong desire was forming in the very soul of Ren by the passing days, to know all the true, and to exact revenge if it was possible, after all these scientists of his home world destroy all life because of the greedy and vanity.

Along that the desire of get stronger to never again been played like this, to never again have to wonder like a homeless, to never have his companion be taking from him.

The long time in his home world fighting demons almost erase all trace of Ren personalities, but now his desires were rekindling.

Over the time one conversation take Ren out of his thoughts.

"so Ren what level and rank are you", ask a savage looking half orc.

"level? rank? what are these?", said Ren.

"don't tell me you don't know, how have you survive to your age without upgrading your rank?", said one messy looking elf.

"I am no native of this world, in my world where no think like levels or rank", said Ren

"then that is more strange, if they invite you by the ritual, you will receive some experience and start in Iron rank minimum, plus they have to teach you that thing, PLUS why did they enslave you anyway after all the troubles of the ritual", said the half orc

The answer of Ren was so unexpected that the response was to loud and they were lashed to be quiet.

Ren try to ask in silence about how to know his level and rank, and by the look of the people in the wagon it was by his ring.

This make Ren focusing on his ring but nothing happens, then he starts to get nervous, by the words of the rest this rank and level thing were very important to his strength, and it was supposed to come in the ritual by the ring, as he sees everybody has a ring, but Ren never make this so called ritual.

As hard as he tries the ring do nothing, with the passing minute the nervousness give pass to restlessness and then to desperation.

Until he remembers that although he didn't pass the ritual, his ring function similar in some way to the other, after all he understand all the people of this world, and it was apparent that every race speaks a different language.

This lead to him focusing in the earring, after shaking of the desperation and calming his mind, he focuses on the earring, and it give Ren a sense of emptiness and darkness, the darkness feeling was ok since it was a gift of a dark goddess, since the earring give this felling the ring should be the same, and after other try it success, he feels an emptiness and some riddance in his mind.

After some time thinking in the felling that the two different thing give to him suddenly, a status window pop up in front of him

Status

Name: Ren

Rank: N/A

Level: 4

Profession: Champion (inactive)

Bloodline: N/A

Statistics: Strength 8 ; Agility 6 ; Endurance 6 ; Constitution 7 ; Willpower 12 ; Mind 8

Titles: Champion of the light, Champion of the darkness, Fate breaker

The jaw of Ren falls to the ground, although his title was very impressive he doesn't have a rank, and it was supposed to be something that everyone has, with respect of his statistics he doesn't know how it was in reference to others, and the bloodline should give certain people some advantage over other that doesn't have one.

Now Ren have his eyes bloodshot, a strong urge to ask the other about all of this, but he refrained herself because the guards were very piss of by the previous noise of the talk.

After calming himself, he looks again at his titles, the titles of champion were bestowed to him by the goddess, but what was that Fate breaker thing, what was the champion profession and why it was inactive, more and more question.

After some more time of travel, they stop outside a nearby little town, some of the guard were to the town to resupply, so the prisoner was left with fewer guards, of course when the first braves one try to do something funny they were badly beaten by the remaining guards, so other one try it again.

Ren go to a corner where the savage half orc was and said in a low voice "my name is Ren, as y said the last time I don't know much about the level and rank, after look to my information I see that I am level 4 and don't have rank, the average of my statistics is around 7",

The look in the face of the half orc was consternate, "I am Peruke, I am shocked, normally a person without a rank and profession will have average statistics of his level", after some moment hi start to explain some thing, "normally when get to level 10 you get up your rank and can acquire dome profession that will boost up some of your stats, some will give you greater bonus while reducing some other, when you reach your first rank which is called iron, you will have until level 3 to decide a class, after that you can level up al level 25 at minimum or level 50 at maximum, thought the majority of people decide you rank up early because it give a multiplier bonus that can spike your power very quickly, after all you never know when you can be betray by the band of mercenaries that you run, and never talk to anyone about your personal information, it can be your doom"

Now Ren was a lot better, he was above the average in term of initial statistics, he already has a class thought it was inactive, but by its name it should be a good class, and of top of that he has some titles, thought he didn't know what that mean or what you can do whit it.

After some moment of thinking, he remembers Peruke and he said "thank you very much for all of this information, I will take your advice to heart, and I hope we can get through all of this".

When he finishes said that a guard scream to the top of his lung.

"Okay you smelly bastards, we will go to the last part of our journey, so prepare yourself to a lifelong time of mining jajaja"

The guards were in very high spirit by the apparent closeness of the destination so they quickly reform the caravan and they resumed the march towards the headquarters of the slave guild.
