《Lost Ship》 Chapter 1 The wind in the air blew strong and a distinct smell of sea salt wafted up my nose sending a shiver down my spine. The mast of the ship (The Black) stood firm despite the raging storm of lightning and dark clouds. My crew mates rushed around me desperately trying to keep us alive but I knew we would soon die so stood solemnly.What use was I a small cabin boy?If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. My brown hair blew wildly in the harsh, salty wind. The world seemed pointless and time seemed to stand still has my luminous blue eyes spotted the rocks dead ahead, in the shadows so hard to spot, we couldn¡¯t turn and a wave rushed towards us towering above all. The ship sailed on, crashing into the waves of death that shook our boat. I fear that at any second the waves will penetrate our vessel and destroy it. Leaving us to die in the murky water. Finaly the ship turned and capsized. Sending the crew into the perilous waters, never to be seen again. My body was flung into the jagged rocks, piercing my flesh and lodging me into the rocks. Feeling my life bleed away I wished one last thing. ¡°Please help.¡± Chapter 2 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!
