Fiona: How's it going with the routines, kid?

Fiona: Not answering back huh? I see how it is, kid.

Qredius: I was struggling to talk whilst panting from the exertion.

Fiona: And????

Qredius: I've completed the routine.

Fiona: How many did you actually do?

Qredius: Do you want evidence?

Fiona: So we got a liar on our hands huh?

Qredius: You didn't tell me that I needed evidence

Fiona: I can already tell that this path will be hard for you kid.

Fiona: If you think showing up and being here will earn you skills, then you got a whole new train coming at you.

Fiona: Now tell me kid, what exercise did you really do in the past 5 days?

Qredius: I did what you told me to do.

Fiona inspects the workout routine Qred has on a piece of paper.

Fiona: Very good.

Qredius: So, what's next?

Fiona: I believe you did the exercises right?

Fiona: It's time to actually learn the skill.

Qredius: Awesome, I'm hyped.

Fiona: Alright, follow me.

Qredius follows behind her noticing her long red hair.

Fiona: Have you been around town yet?

Qredius: Nope.

Fiona: That's fine too.

Qredius: ok

Fiona: Say, what's your ideal type of women?

Qredius: One that can stand on her own feet.

Fiona: Typical. Anything else?

Qredius: hmm. It doesn't hurt if she's well developed.

Fiona: Well, straight to the point aren't we?

Qredius: Honesty above all else is what I say.

Fiona: It's a good policy.

Qredius: You have any preferences?

Fiona: Not really. Just someone who earns a bit of ducats could satisfy me.

Qredius: Stable and reliable.

Qredius: Fair enough.

Fiona: We're here.

Qredius arrives at Fiona's house in the quiet forest.

Qredius: Very homely.

Fiona: Come inside.

Fiona: Now sit on the symbol in the middle of the floor.

Qredius: What is this.

Fiona: It's a calming place to learn skills.

Qredius: I see.

Fiona: Something about it being magical. I have no idea.

Fiona: I practice archery not alchemy.

Qredius: Should I close my eyes and relax or something?

Fiona: Yes. Focus on controlling your breathing.

Qredius does what he is told and inhales slowly.

Fiona: Find a tempo that feels the most comfortable.

Qredius: ...

Fiona: Calm down. Ease up your mind.

Qredius: ...

Fiona: Don't forget this tempo.

Qredius: ...

Fiona: Now release some mana into your aura.

Qredius releases some of his mana into his aura.

Fiona: If you let out too much at once, you'll explode. Slow down with your speed.

Qredius nods and proceeds with the slow process.

Fiona: That's it. Very slowly.

Fiona places a hand on his back and inserts a new mana flow into Qredius' continuous flow.

Fiona: Keep your mana flowing.

Qredius nods and continues to control his flow. A notification appears on his display:

You have learned the skill, "Ricochet".

Fiona: You can relax now.

Qredius takes a sigh of relief.

Fiona: How does it feel to learn a skill?

Qredius: is it normal to feel a err, warmth in my stomach?

Fiona: That's what they call power.

Qredius: I see.

...

...

...

Thomas: Jim's rank is copper and your potential is average.

Steel: Toxix's rank is copper and your potential is normal.

Toxix: What does normal mean?

Toxix: As compared to average I mean, who has more potential?

Steel: None of you do.

Toxix: Am I allowed to kill you? nevermind

Steel: You can try. But you wont succeed at level 0.

Jim: hahahahaha

Jim: Sooooo lets just say somehow toxix gets really high level he could kill ya

Jim: Also since when do games have level 0 I thought it always starts at 1.

Thomas: He could kill anyone if he was high enough.

Thomas: What is a game?

Jim: Also how technologically advance is the world?

Toxix: Why can an NPC ask questions?

Thomas: Why not?

Toxix: Because you're not programmed to I mean... nevermind.

Thomas: What is a program?

Toxix: Uhh... don't worry about it

Toxix: So are there currently any low level quests I can go on? Or is there somewhere else I have to go for that?

Thomas: You can ask for a class trainer, but it will take a day to find one for your class.

Toxix: What is my class again?

Toxix looks at his stats screen. It reads:

Class: Rogue

Toxix: Right. Okay, so is there a cost or do I get to speak to a trainer for free?

Thomas: The cost is waiting a whole twenty four hours.

Toxix: Okay, may I speak to a Rogue Trainer?

Toxix: Also, speaking of cost. Is there a currency system in this world?

Toxix: See, I was watching ... hentai when I wanted some food. I went out to get some and was hit by a car and now I'm here. So Im new here.

The guild receptionist told Toxix to look at his player menu more. There was a lot of information already set in stone. 

Toxix: How do I get money?

Thomas: Selling monster drops to the guild hall is the most common way to earn money.

Toxix: So, do I need to speak to a trainer? or can I just go on a quest now? Also, where would quests be posted?

Thomas: Quests are posted on the quest board. So there are no quests at this moment.

Toxix: Okay. Thank you very much.

Thomas: Please check back tomorrow for the trainer.

Toxix: Will do.

Jim: Also umm can I ask for a mage trainer?

Thomas: Ok, Jim. Please check back in tomorrow for your trainer.

Toxix: Im doing alright. umm Thomas, were already teamed up correct?

Thomas: Yes. You are in a party.

Jim: Yeah we’re on team 1 the only team without a number other than the default one.

Toxix: Just wanted to make sure. Am I able to hurt party members?

Thomas: Yes. If you wanted to.

Jim: Wait. Hey. Toxix don't get any ideas man.

Jim: I don't think I've done anything to deserve death yet at least.

 

 

Author's Note: Changed Team 1's color a bit to see the names better.
