I was surrounded by a sesa of white that seemed to streach on for ever, somehow though I knew it didnt. Maybe it was the way the colours seemed off in the distance. Deciding that heaven was boring I started walking in the direcrion that I knew to be the end.


    Many hours later I realised that my stamina just seemed to be endless so I turned my walk into a jog. The cool air seemed to whip around me and I ran as fast as physically possible for me and enjoyed the feeling of being free. That was untill a blue box jumped up at the corner of my vision.


    RUNNING SKILL ACHIEVED LVL 1


    I had no idea what it was but the pirate instincts of mine kicked in, making me want more of them. Maybe after a day or so I finally got it to LVL 10 giving me a new message


    RUNNING SKILL LVL 10 you have unlocked new skill FAST STEP


    FAST STEP allows you to quickly jump forward 5 meters maximun at will


    COST 10 mana


    AVAILABLE MANA 100


    Interesting I though, this would allow me to jump forward a little to avoid and enemy attcking me. The only problem was mana, I realised that I had no clue what it was just that I had it. Maybe I was born with it or maybe I gained it in this room.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    The only thing to do was to raise it.


    Slowly I came to realise my muscles on my legs started to grow, I wasnt as skinny as I used to be and I felt more happy.


    Realising that I could probally become alot stronger from press ups and other routines I had to practise on the deck, plus with my stamina never running out I could do them for longer than physically possible.


    After I gained a skill for hours of tourture I sat down to inspect it.


    PHYSICAL EXERCISE LVL 1


    you can do a push up well done!


    SUBSKILL PAIN ENDURENCE LVL 1


    you can now go longer without feeling pain, your a very tough person. The girls will love it.


    It seemed my box had gained some hummor in my time here and I shook my head. Pain endurence would be usefull but I wondered why I didnt get it for running.


    I only thought once what was the point of doing all of this if I was trapped but maybe a skill for running or fast step could let me escapse, but only when I was ready. If I left and found the world taken over by demons who knew what would happen. Running would allow me to kill anyone in theory because if you are fast enough then how could anyone hit you and you could hit them whenever you felt like it. Fast step was the best move due to the fact you could appear behin someone and surprise them with a sneak attack.


    In captins few sword lessons I learn that hitting someones back could lead to crippling your opponenet when they turned round and didnt suspect you to do any harm.


    prioritising my running and fast step I had


    RUNNING LVL 17


    FAST STEP LVL 9


    PHYSICAL LVL 11


    PAIN ENDURENCE LVL 19


    When physical exercise had reached 10 it had changed but I coudnt see the diffrence, its subskill however leveled up passively and I was sure that subskill powerups happened at 20. My main exitement however was over the fast step skill at 9. This was a ordinary skill but I got it for leveling so I didnt know if it needed to be at 20 or 10.


    Only one way to find out I guess!
