《Becoming The Wolfman》 Prologue Prologue My story begins while working as a Security Officer. I¡¯m Bill501 aka the Wolfman as I have about 15 different Wolf tattoos. Not that you would know it since I have to cover them all for work. I¡¯m sitting at my desk waiting for lunchtime and greeting all the employees in the building as they walk by. All the sudden I have a splitting headache and I¡¯m trying not to show it because I don¡¯t have sick time and I don¡¯t want to go home sick and lose money.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. Suddenly a screen comes up but it just looks like floating text. It says Welcome to the System. Hell I read at least 5 novels a week that start that way so I¡¯m like hell yeah so worth the headache. I¡¯m over here saying status and character screen and anything else I can think of to bring up my stats and it doesn¡¯t do shit¡­. 15 minutes later I get a message that says loading¡­.. ONE After the screen finally loads it tells me I need to customize my character. Which is me! Can you imagine being able to just will changes to yourself? I feel like I¡¯ve won the lottery. I¡¯m going through the options and completely ignoring my surroundings. I notice that one of the options under race is to make myself ? Wolfman. Since I¡¯m already the Wolfman I figure I should make it official and I click on that option. Then change the slides to make myself look human mostly since I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a great idea to all the sudden have a 7ft Wolfman in the lobby in a Security Guard Uniform. I also choose to bulk myself up and get rid of all the fat I¡¯ve gained throughout my life. Best fucking diet ever let me tell you! I choose to be built like Arnold before he competed professionally so I would maintain flexibility. I decided to make myself a truther and made myself 6¡¯ tall since my drivers license says I am. I go ahead and confirm that and it comes up with choose my beginning stats. The system tells me that it¡¯s going to give me credit for the things I¡¯ve done in my 40 plus years on earth so my beginning stats only suck a little bit. Wolfman Hit Points: 220 Mana: 230 Stamina: 220 Regen rate: 2.2 per minute outside of combatFind this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! Strength: 18+10 (Wolfkin bonus) Dexterity: 15+10 (Wolfkin bonus) Intelligence: 22 Wisdom: 12 Luck: 8 Vitality: 7+15 (Wolfkin bonus) Then the system shocks me and tells me as a bonus for being the 10th human with access to the system. I get a bonus 15 points to turn into anything I want. Oh and it doesn¡¯t do any of that bullshit like automatically give me stuff every level because of my race. I get to pick where my points go and what classes I get and what not. I don¡¯t know about you but I like the idea of not being in pain constantly since I have been accident prone my whole life so I throw 10 points into Vitality and get my total up to 32. Then I put the rest into wisdom because you can¡¯t add to luck and besides that it¡¯s my lowest attribute. Next I get to pick 3 skills I can even type them in and do a discription if I wish. So I go through all of the skills and I pick. Magical Healing which uses mana to heal. It¡¯s not terrible with my stats but it heals a base of 50hp plus your wisdom score, for a total of 230. Sleep Learning: Learn anything you wish without Mana or Stamina costs. General Elementalist: Can use any and all elements as spells only limited by mana and imagination. I¡¯m now super excited to get off work because I want to play with the elements and try healing some people. I do however heal myself and I no longer need my glasses. All the various bones and stuff I¡¯ve damaged no longer hurt at all. I¡¯m glad no one was walking by because I glowed like a freaking angel when I healed myself. So no more practice until I¡¯m off work. TWO TWO About an hour later the mailroom guy comes and relieves me for lunch and when I stand up I realize my clothes really don¡¯t fit at all. I head to the restroom and make a new hole in my belt by sheer force as I¡¯m very strong now. That will at least keep my pants up even though they look like i¡¯m wearing a balloon. I¡¯m also starving since healing uses your body''s nutrients as fuel to heal you. I head to the cafeteria and eat my lunch and then buy another lunch from them. I¡¯m trying to be very careful touching anything and I already crushed the door handle to the bathroom stall. I make it through the last 2 hours of my shift after lunch and decide instead of heading home right away I¡¯m going to go run through the woods to the empty warehouse across the street that was just built. I go over there and have a bunch of fun picking up heavy construction materials I should NOT be able to lift. I go in the empty lot behind it and try out a basic fireball and wind blade. They work amazingly well! I even refill my water bottle just by willing it to condense water out of the air. I¡¯m doing all kinds of flips and running and just acting a fool because well there is no way in hell i could do this stuff without the system.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. After setting the trees behind the building on fire and then putting it out with water or earth magic several times I level up my Elementalist ability up to journeyman and I notice the stuff I¡¯m doing is about 10% cheaper in mana. About then my cell phone goes off and my Fiancee asks me where the hell I am because we were supposed to go to the gym! SHIT!! I apologize and rush home on the way I notice my car smells like crap on the inside. The new stronger senses are really messing with me so I roll all the windows down. I¡¯m going to have to clean the hell out of my car to ride in it. THREE THREE Upon arriving home and noticing I have a very upset Fiancee named Lisa to deal with. I proceed to take off my uniform and she¡¯s going damn what happened to your body? I tried to explain what happened but she isn¡¯t really believing me. However she¡¯s more than willing to have lots of sex! Yay me!! Oh and healing does consider a worn out penis a injury so I may have worn her out a bit. Then I grabbed some of my old High School clothes I never got rid of out of the closet. As I was trying to find stuff that fit. The system asked me if I would like to put the clothes in my inventory? I¡¯m like sure I would. Then I could see a grid of all the stuff I owned and equip it automatically like a video game. The best part is everything was adjusted to fit me by magic. No more going through all my shirts to see which one doesn¡¯t make me look fat today!! I also find all the clothes I put into inventory come out clean and pressed when I equip them. Hell yeah no more laundry for this lazy bastard =) I also try out healing Lisa and I do it several times just to run through all my Mana. I¡¯m slightly disappointed it didn¡¯t level up. You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. We finally head to the gym and she¡¯s as excited as I am to see what I can do with the treadmill. I have been going 3 times a week and I may have gotten down to a 13 minute mile. Yeah that¡¯s right I¡¯m awesome. So I complete a mile in 3 minutes and she tells me to slow down she can barely see my legs moving. So as she completes her workout. I head over to the weight machines and proceed to do all of it on every machine for sets of 50 easily. It felt like I had no weight on at all to me. I head back over to Lisa and we do the eliptical and I¡¯m more or less reading ideas on how physics works so I can come up with more ways to use the elementalist powers. I notice while sitting on the bike at the gym that the inventory has a sell feature. So I go through and try selling stuff I would never wear. It gives me gold coins. Like real gold coins! I know that doesn¡¯t sound like that big of a deal to you maybe. However gold is currently $1,335.90 an ounce! They gave me 2 gold coins for a t-shirt!! I honestly could guy out Goodwill and never work again! Then I notice the shop and they have armor that adds stats and shit. And it costs platinum. One platinum is equal to 100 gold coins so I guess I better get on scamming the system if I want any good armor. FOUR FOUR After we get home I¡¯m running all around the house putting all my things in inventory and playing with equipping them. I have a couple katana¡¯s and a Knights of Columbus sword and nunchucks. I had so much more energy than normal I washed and waxed the Harley then Lisa¡¯s V-Star. I was about to do the cars when the system told me to prepare to be teleported to a beginner dungeon. I yelled out to Lisa to let her know it was taking me somewhere. Then I saw a bright flash of light and I¡¯m standing outside of a cave with lots of people yelling and I can¡¯t understand any of them. I ask the system what they are saying and it says. Processing¡­.. Then I got a skill called universal translator and I can understand them. It¡¯s just like any RPG where everyone is standing around calling out what classes they need for their party. I decide since I¡¯ve played just about every class I will join one of the ragtag ones as a healer. I need to relax and let my mana regen anyway so I just keep staring at people and checking out their gears and what not. I get a skill a couple minutes later called inspect and it just has a Name and Class above their heads with a HP and Mana/Stamina bars. I see an entire party that just looks beat. The worst one a little catkin girl has maybe 20% of her health left. However they are all in rough shape. So I approach them and just shoot a heal at the catkin right off the bat. I then ask if I can join their party? They seem really excited and the party leader introduces himself as Cleik and he¡¯s got a huge shield and mace. Then there is the catkin who¡¯s a archer and her name is wait for it...Cat. They have a halfling looking guy named Frank who¡¯s a rogue class. Then there is a fighter named BloodzFighter who is dual wielding and looks very fancy with all the armor. He strikes me as a noob in fancy clothes. However I heal everyone up and we get ready to head into the dungeon after I ask what¡¯s inside. It seems like it¡¯s a simple goblin cave and they usually attack 5 at a time but up to 8 at a time. They never made it to the boss before having to retreat. I get invited to the party and I can see everyone¡¯s names and HP bars on the left of my vision without getting in the way. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. We head inside and I can immediately see why they had so much trouble. They aren¡¯t going in any kind of formation or doing anything together. They all went separate directions and everything. Now I haven¡¯t done any dungeon diving in real life but I¡¯ve played plenty of these games and I can tell you the basic tactics that have worked regardless of the game. So I tell everyone to come here. Then I ask the Leader Cleik to lead the formation with Bloodz behind him on the left. Cat I ask to stay on the right and shoot targets as she can. Then I ask Frank to scout ahead and find us some enemies. He salutes sarcastically but does what I ask and vanishes from sight. He comes back 2 minutes later and says there are 5 up ahead and to the right. However there are also 3 up ahead and 2 the left so he says we would probably get jumped by all 8 and that¡¯s what got them in trouble last time. I say that¡¯s ok lets block off the right tunnel and deal with the left and we will see from there. I walk up and use earth manipulation from my Elementalist abilities and build up a wall to block the right tunnel. Everyone is just staring at me. I may have forgotten to mention I can do more than just heal. FIVE FIVE I tell them I¡¯ll explain later can we head left. I ask Frank how much further ahead are the mobs. He says about 25 meters. I ask Cat if she can hit one from here. She scoffs at me. I tell Cleik to get ready with his shield and have her shoot at one. He comes by himself and we kill him very easily and the loot just splits evenly between everyone. Of course if he drops gear that can¡¯t happen but it just goes top to bottom and auto drops. Pretty good system so I don¡¯t have to worry about the leader taking all the loot. I ask cat to shoot the next one and we go through all 3 like butter. Before we go to the right tunnel Cleik asks me what the hell is up with the wall I built. I am honest and tell him I have the Elementalist skill and can do things with any element and I make him light up like a light bulb just cause it¡¯s fun. I turn him off after making him blink which makes everyone laugh. Then we go to the right. We use the same tactics and Cat shoots one but 3 come at once. Bloodz doesn¡¯t stay in formation and tries to rush the 3. I yell stay in formation to the rest of the party and we let Bloodz hang alone and I don¡¯t heal him until he is about dead. Then I use wind and pull him back in place and we keep killing the mobs. We take out the rest of the 5 like clockwork and Bloodz stays in formation. When we get done with the entire group he turns to me with his swords drawn and tries to intimidate me. I simply lock his body in the earth up to his nose and solidify the ground. I explain to him very calmly that if he doesn¡¯t wish to follow the strategy we are employing he is welcome to go without me. He keeps screaming about how he is going to kill me until Cleik kicks him in the face. Cleik goes off on him for him doing stupid shit that almost got them killed over and over that day. I decide I better figure out how to do a Mana barrier before I let him out and that takes me about 5 minutes of concentrating before I get it. So I let him out and ask Frank if he can scout and Immediately Bloodz tries to stab me and his sword bounces off my shield. I use an Air Blade and decapitate him immediately. The entire party is shocked but someone that will stab you while you aren¡¯t looking isn¡¯t someone I want on my team. I ask them if he will respawn and they all look at me like him stupid. So I guess he doesn¡¯t get another chance to learn but I don¡¯t feel guilty for defending myself. Anyone who has ever worked Armed Security has already had to come to terms with the idea they may have to kill in the line of duty to protect themselves or others. Or they have no business picking up the badge and gun. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. I explain to the party that I don¡¯t believe in waiting to deal with an enemy until they are stronger than me. Oh and I leveled to 5 because Bloodz was much higher leveled than me. I gave most of his fancy armor to Cleik because he needed the defense. I did keep a necklace that double regen rates. I get 5 stat points to assign anyway I want. So I put 2 in Vitality and 3 more in wisdom. Which would make my stat screen look like this. Wolfman Stats: Hit Points: 340 Mana: 310 Stamina: 340 Regen rate: 7.6 per minute outside of combat Strength: 28 Dexterity: 25 Intelligence: 22 Wisdom: 20 Luck: 8 Vitality: 34 Skills Magical Healing: 250hp Sleep Learning: Learn anything you wish without Mana or Stamina costs General Elementalist: Can use any and all elements as spells only limited by mana and imagination. SIX SIX The team wants to keep going so I decide I¡¯ll take Bloodz spot in the formation and I asked everyone to just yell out when they need a heal. So we keep going and make short work of the first floor. We come to the boss room and we decide to rest until everyone is up to full bars. I ask everyone if they have any mana or healing pots. They do! So I beg for some Mana pots which they give me with no issues since they don¡¯t want to die. We head into the boss room and we get a notice that we have to kill the Boss or die. This does not sound good at all. Then the biggest damn goblin I have ever seen comes out and he has armor on too. He¡¯s at least 6¡¯5¡± tall and ripped enough to make Lou Ferrigno say it¡¯s not easy being GREEN We go with the standard formation and Cleik takes the first hit on his shield and his arm is broken badly. I throw a heal at him and I tell them all to run. If he can¡¯t take a single hit without massive damage we can¡¯t tank him. So I decide to cheat like hell. I loosen the soil beneath his feet and pull him into the earth while turning the bottom of the pit into lava. He dies with the Quickness but I burned up all our freaking drops! I guess it¡¯s better than being dead sigh. We start searching the room and Frank finds a lever behind a pillar where the boss came out. We found a honest to goodness treasure chest. It was filled with gear and gold! We probably each made 3 or 4 platinum from the run. We added each other to our friends list and then we were going to look for the 2nd floor. When I got a notice the dungeon was cleared and I was going to be teleported home. I told them I would contact them when I get to come back. Next thing I know I¡¯m right back in the Garage about 5 minutes after I left and Lisa tackled me really hard hugging me and we decided to go talk about my experiences in another place. I checked my screen and I had leveled a couple more times on the Boss. So I had 2 stat points to use. Lisa asked me so many questions that I never even wondered about myself. Like what do the different stats do? I just assumed they were just like the video games I¡¯ve played in the past and went with it. She was not amused and suggested we sit down and read what they say to her. Strength: Base stat regarding how much force you can generate to lift or withstand. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Dexterity: Base stat regarding how coordinated you are and how accurate with throws or arrows Intelligence: Base stat regarding how smart you are, and how hard you hit with magic, raises your base mana slightly Wisdom: Base stat regarding how wise you are, how likely you are to find the easy way to do things, greatly affects mana regen rate Luck: Base stat regarding how lucky you are, greatly affects critical strikes Vitality: Base stat regarding how fast you regenerate health and how much damage you can take before death After reading those descriptions Lisa informed me I would be putting my stats in Vitality because she¡¯s too young to be a widow. I was doing that anyway because I didn¡¯t enjoy being injured and losing strength throughout my life. So my updated stats are as follows. Wolfman Stats: Hit Points: 360 Mana: 310 Stamina: 360 Regen rate: 7.2 per minute outside of combat Strength: 28 Dexterity: 25 Intelligence: 22 Wisdom: 20 Luck: 8 Vitality: 36 Skills Magical Healing: 250hp Sleep Learning: Learn anything you wish without Mana or Stamina costs General Elementalist: Can use any and all elements as spells only limited by mana and imagination. Items Necklace of Regen - Doubles regen rate SEVEN SEVEN Loot! I started going through the stuff I got in the dungeon. I also found a link in inventory directly to the auction so I can look if I get more $ by selling there than just giving it to the system. I found some little items that added plus 1¡¯s or 2¡¯s to stats but nothing great and nothing that really looks worthwhile to me. So I looked up what it goes for in the Auction and it seems like I can sell it for significantly more than to the system. So I listed a bow of accuracy that adds +1 to accuracy. I sold Bloodz swords because they are a matched pair and I don¡¯t intend to dual wield and they are decent at plus 3 to strength and dexterity. We will have to see what those go for but in the meantime I sold all my old T-Shirts and jeans and things I don¡¯t like and got a whopping 20 gold. So I went and tried to buy a Mage Robe and I found one for the Elementalist that makes it 5% easier to use the elements. It seems there are not many that do all elements because it¡¯s only 15 gold. It also has a minor enchantment of perfect temp. It¡¯s always 72 degrees when I wear it. Lisa is now making fun of my bathrobe (her words) and I found another area where I can buy skills for skill points. I got one at level 5 so I think I¡¯m going to take a NPC companion to help me navigate the system. I found this badass little fair chick in a totally goth slutty outfit that I am going to choose. The system asks me if I would like to name her. Lisa is instantly pissed because of how slutty this 4 inch tall fairy looks. So I name her Samantha the Ho. Sam tells me my stats are all messed up and I shouldn¡¯t have that high of stats until I¡¯m level 50 not level 7. I¡¯m like whoot I¡¯m OP! Lisa who once again doesn¡¯t know the RPG lingo is rolling her eyes at me! As we are settling down and eating dinner finally the kids come home from their Dad¡¯s house. Once again her Ex wants to talk to her at the door over something the kids said or did. I always stalk the top of the stairs and stare him down. This time however he seems really pissed off and grabs Lisa¡¯s arm. So fast I¡¯m not sure how I got outside I have him by the throat pushed up against the tree in the front yard. My eyes turn red and glow and my teeth start to elongate. I¡¯m so fucking pissed I¡¯m considering eating him for touching my mate! Lisa touches me and asks me to let him go and somehow I calm down instantly. I let him go and make sure to tell him that Lisa is MINE you will never touch her again. Or you will lose the offending appendage. He gets in the vehicle like his ass is on fire and drives away! The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. After calming down I see a notification from the system. I ask Sam what it¡¯s about and she says you just unlocked your racial ability Rage of the Alpha. You will always protect what you see as yours to the utmost of your ability. Honestly I¡¯m surprised he isn¡¯t a puddle of blood I¡¯ve never seen anyone control it that well before. Oh you unlocked a new stat Willpower +5 On that note Lisa and I go back into the house and wait for the Police to show up. Somehow they never do so we catch up on Ink Masters and get ready for bed. Before I fall asleep these are my updated stats. Wolfman Stats: Hit Points: 360 Mana: 310 Stamina: 360 Regen rate: 7.2 per minute outside of combat Strength: 28 Dexterity: 25 Intelligence: 22 Wisdom: 20 Luck: 8 Vitality: 36 Willpower: 5 Skills Magical Healing: 250hp (Base 50 + Wisdom x 10) Sleep Learning: Learn anything you wish without Mana or Stamina costs General Elementalist: Can use any and all elements as spells only limited by mana and imagination. Rage of the Alpha: protect what is yours, able to ignore pain and it doubles your strength temporarily Items Necklace of Regen - Doubles regen rate Mage Robe - Perfect temp 72 and 5% ease of using the elements EIGHT EIGHT After falling asleep I find myself in a white room with Sam and she informs me that I can practice my spells and fighting skills in a controlled environment. I work on fire based spells for the first hour I try getting the fire to burn hotter by controlling the oxygen and mana flow. Then I mess with earth and try and build a house of rock and without mana limits it¡¯s not too hard to do. I then use water and make a working bathroom. Add a little fire and you can take a warm bath. Sam suggests I work on controlling Rage of the Alpha because it has the potential of making me really powerful. So she sets up training dummies that fight back and I rage out. At first I just mindlessly destroy them all. After a bit of practice I¡¯m able to see through my Rage and think again. This lets me use magic while pissed off and really do some cool body augmentations with elements. Stone Skin and Wind Walking to name a few. While playing with body augmentation I try to channel mana in my body and accidentally do something similar to what I¡¯ve read with cultivating. It hurts like a bitch but I could feel the potential for strength so I tried doing my whole body at once. It quickly killed me. That is the beauty of Sleep Learning is I can¡¯t die no matter what stupid shit I try. So I try again and go much slower and get a skill Mana Cultivator. Which greatly increases my mana pool because it is distributed throughout my entire body and moving. At level one it doubled my mana. I then make really heavy weights and do a regular workout from my Powerlifting days and manage to gain 5 strength and 3 dexterity by doing the work. I then am shocked when my alarm goes off the next morning. I get up per usual and try and shave and break my razor repeatedly while trying to shave. I guess my hair is stronger than my razor. I take a shower and equip my clothes and they instantly fit perfectly and look like they were tailored for me. Sam says she can go invisible so she can stay with me while I work and no one will know she¡¯s there. I decide I¡¯m definitely riding the Harley to work because I can. It was so fun riding at 75mph while a fairy tried to hold on and is screaming. Slow dooooowwwwnnnn!! My job is very not physical and I won¡¯t bore you with the details of a shift. So I¡¯m on the way home and some asshat pulls in front of my bike and I barely manage to not hit him. When I get the bike stopped I am pissed off and I kick the car. I destroy the entire back bumper and the airbags go off. I go ahead and keep going since I didn¡¯t ¡°hit¡± the car lol. Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. Sam says she can feel we are going to get pulled into a dungeon and suggests I pull over. So I pull into the next gas station and head behind the building. Then I get the message of if I want to try the next dungeon. I choose yes and am teleported to another world again. Lets look at my stats before we do a new dungeon run. Wolfman Stats: Hit Points: 360 Mana: 620 Stamina: 360 Regen rate: 7.2 per minute outside of combat Strength: 33 Dexterity: 28 Intelligence: 22 Wisdom: 20 Luck: 8 Vitality: 36 Willpower: 5 Level: 7 Skills Magical Healing: 250hp (Base 50 + Wisdom x 10) Sleep Learning: Learn anything you wish without Mana or Stamina costs General Elementalist: Can use any and all elements as spells only limited by mana and imagination. Rage of the Alpha: protect what is yours, able to ignore pain and it doubles your strength temporarily Mana Cultivator: move mana through your body to increase strength and increase mana by 100% Items Necklace of Regen - Doubles regen rate Mage Robe - Perfect temp 72 and 5% ease of using the elements NINE NINE I get pulled into a gas station and my bike locked up just in time. I immediately notice it¡¯s white everywhere and freezing. I equip my Mage robe over my clothes and it helps deal with the temperature but the wind is still freezing so I bring up a mana shield and circulate fire/wind inside at mild amounts just to keep the cold off me. I start looking around and realize I can¡¯t see anything in any direction. Sam what¡¯s going on? I thought I was supposed to go to a dungeon. Sam says you are in a dungeon this whole area is a dungeon. Damn this looks like it¡¯s going to take forever. Sam do I have a map feature of some sort? She says sure and brings it up on the right of my vision but not blocking anything. It has blinking red dots which I assume are enemies. I¡¯m very close to one but I don¡¯t see anything at all. Then BAM something lunges out of the snow and hits my Mana shield HARD. It starts to crack and I see a monster that looks like the thing that tried to eat Luke in a Star Wars movie! I use an air blade and quickly dispatch it. Since I¡¯m by myself I get a screen that asks if I want to loot the creature. I ask Sam if she can handle looting? Her eyes get real big and she says really? I¡¯m like sure please just put stuff inventory. Then I see her all excitedly going through my inventory and arranging it nicely. I guess I should have asked that earlier. While I¡¯m thinking of things I should have done. I ask Sam about an experience bar and she puts one right under my HP/Stamina/Mana bars and I can see I¡¯m almost level 8. Anyway let''s see if we can kill some of these yeti¡¯s without getting ambushed. I see the next set is about 20 yards away to the left. So I throw a new blue fireball at them that explodes on contact. Body parts fly everywhere and I can see this should be an easy dungeon for my skill set. Sam is happily humming and looting and I¡¯m throwing fire like some crazed god of fire. We do this for hours and hours. It¡¯s getting to be time to sleep and eat and I don¡¯t have any supplies for that. So I guess I¡¯ll give building a temporary shelter with earth magic. I have to eat up the area first to even find the ground under all the snow. Then pull the earth up into a simple shack. I put in a working bathroom/kitchen and use the melted snow for water. Sam starts cooking the yeti meat right away. I¡¯m not enthused to try eating yeti but as we have no other supplies. I guess we will have too. I decide to look over my stats while she is cooking. I see that I¡¯m level 12 so I have 5 stat points to distribute. I add 3 to vitality to keep Lisa happy and I add the last 2 to wisdom since it¡¯s my lowest stat. I start to look through notifications that I missed while on a killing spree and I discover I can choose a class if I wish at level 10. I get a choice between Elementalist Mage, Battle Mage and Blade Mage. They all give me double my current mana. However the Blade Mage is almost powerless without a weapon in his hands. The Battle Mage seems to most versatile to me but specializes in hurting things. I like Elementalist since that¡¯s primarily what I¡¯ve been using up to this point. I ask Sam what she thinks while she is cooking and she says duh take all 3. I¡¯m shocked and I haven¡¯t heard of any games where I can be all classes before. She says well this isn¡¯t a game and you can just level them up as you use things related to them. However you won¡¯t double your Mana 3 times by taking them all because you can have one Primary equipped and one Secondary class at once. So it¡¯s double double my mana! I now have 2640 Mana I could probably build a proper house pretty easily. The best part of the Battle Mage is I can wear medium armor with a Mage Robe on top and get the benefits of both. If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Sam can you pull up a Leather Armor set of Vitality? She shows me several sets from plus 1 each piece with a bonus of 1 with all of it equipped to a set that¡¯s plus 10 each with a bonus of 100. I can¡¯t afford the big one at all since it¡¯s 2000 gold per piece. I sell off our loot and collect our money from the auction and discover I have just enough gold to buy the plus 5 to all vitality per piece and a bonus 25 if I equip the set. It looks like this: Boots of Vit +5 Pants of Vit +5 Chest Protector of Vit +5 Bracers of Vit +5 and Helmet of Vit +5 plus the 25 Vit Bonus. It¡¯s a total of 50 bonus Vitality! I¡¯m really feeling tough now! We set down to eat and although I¡¯m hesitant to eat the yeti, it turns out to be the BEST steak I¡¯ve ever had in my life! We finish up with that and cleaning up. I go ahead and cultivate a bit and then go to sleep. Here are my updated stats with all the new bling! Wolfman Stats: Hit Points: 890 Mana: 2640 Stamina: 890 Regen rate: 17.8 per minute outside of combat Strength: 33 Dexterity: 28 Intelligence: 22 Wisdom: 22 Luck: 8 Vitality: 89 Willpower: 5 Level: 7 Class: Primary: Elementalist Mage Secondary: Battle Mage Skills Magical Healing: 250hp (Base 50 + Wisdom x 10) Sleep Learning: Learn anything you wish without Mana or Stamina costs General Elementalist: Can use any and all elements as spells only limited by mana and imagination. Rage of the Alpha: protect what is yours, able to ignore pain and it doubles your strength temporarily Mana Cultivator: move mana through your body to increase strength and increase mana by 100% Items Necklace of Regen - Doubles regen rate Mage Robe - Perfect temp 72 and 5% ease of using the elements Boots of Vit +5 Pants of Vit +5 Chest Protector of Vit +5 Bracers of Vit +5 Helmet of Vit +5 (Vit Set Bonus +25) TEN TEN The next morning Sam and I get ready and eat some leftover Yeti. I use fire magic to turn the rest of the left overs into yeti jerky so we won¡¯t have to stop at lunch time. I also store a bunch of water in my inventory to take care of thirst. I make sure to equip my new leather armor set with the Mage Robe on top and set my shield up to warm me and Sam. We basically repeat the day before hunting yeti¡¯s and blowing them up. However I notice that each Class has an exp bar. So if I use that classes way of fighting I can level up the class to increase its benefits. So I switch to a airblade when their our multiple enemies to level up Battle Mage and Elementalist Mage at the same time. We basically have no idea how to finish this dungeon and cannot find a boss type monster. So we trudge along murdering yeti¡¯s and gathering loot. This repeats for the next 25 days in a row and I¡¯m super nervous that Lisa is missing me and I didn¡¯t pay my Bike/Car payment for the month. As I have no cell service in wherever the hell I am. I did manage to level up a few more times just grinding and looting. So I¡¯m at level 15. Once again I put 1 point in vitality and 1 in both wisdom/intelligence to make myself hit harder with magic. My already over powered magic gets a 50% upgrade per class by leveling them up to level 2 each. So I¡¯m able regenerate more Mana than I burn in a fight even with my low regen rates. We hear a roar in the distance by what appears to be a grey area in the background. So we head that way today while killing the small number of yeti¡¯s we can still find. We finally found the boss! Wow he¡¯s a big bastard! He¡¯s at least 15 feet tall and level 20. He¡¯s wearing armor and blowing ice out of his mouth just by breathing. He starts by doing a breath attack of frost at me but it does nothing with the mana shield and fire/air magic I¡¯m running to stay warm. I decide I¡¯m completely sick of this dungeon and I want to go home. However I don¡¯t want to use lava and destroy my drops again so I start with throwing air blades at him but he is regenerating the injuries faster than I can throw them and I¡¯m forced to dodge his punches. The first punch started cracking my shield so I don¡¯t want to take them head on. I coat the air blades with fire mana on a whim and discover the fire stops him from regenerating and pisses him off. It¡¯s everything I can do to dodge the next couple strikes. He backhands me and demolishes my shield and almost breaks my arm. I get up and spit out a mouthful of blood and active Rage of the Alpha. I double my strength and coat my arms and body in fire that doesn¡¯t burn me. I then attack him physically and just pull him apart piece by piece. Sam and I collect all the loot and I notice I almost made level 16 from that fight alone. We pick up a awesome simitar of frost that looks like Drizzit would be using it! (If you don¡¯t know who Drizzit is I¡¯m very sorry and please go read The IceWind Dale series) We get teleported back to the bike and according to my cell phone it¡¯s all of five minutes after I left! I quickly heal myself back up so I don¡¯t look so horrid. I drive home quickly and remember it¡¯s Wednesday which is date night with my Fiancee Lisa! I wait on Lisa to arrive and immediately grab her up and hug her and kiss her and call her mine!! Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. I take her directly to the bedroom and do my best to show her how much I missed her for the next several hours. We finish with just enough time to grab something to eat before the Ex brings the kids back! I love this self healing and being able to keep going in the bedroom. I feel a little bad because I bit Lisa while bending her over because I let my Wolf side run a little wild. She doesn¡¯t want me to heal the bruises or the bites though for some reason¡­. We get ready to head to the local Mexican restaurant we go to frequently on date night and Lisa just looks at me funny. I¡¯m like what?! She says I can¡¯t wear armor and mage robes out in public! I completely forgot so I equip my normal Motorcycle attire and chuckle on how funny I must have looked on the way home! Sam¡¯s a little pissed when we get home from dinner because not only did I forget to get her any food but she had to listen to us mating! I was feeling guilty until I noticed her and our dog eating a yeti steak! Here¡¯s my updated stats I¡¯m going to catch up with my RoyalRoad stories while we wait for the kids to get back <3 Wolfman Stats: Hit Points: 900 Mana: 2760 Stamina: 900 Regen rate: 17.8 per minute outside of combat Strength: 33 Dexterity: 28 Intelligence: 23 Wisdom: 23 Luck: 8 Vitality: 90 Willpower: 5 Level: 15 Class: Primary: Elementalist Mage lvl 2 Secondary: Battle Mage lvl 2 Skills Magical Healing: 280hp (Base 50 + Wisdom x 10) Sleep Learning: Learn anything you wish without Mana or Stamina costs General Elementalist: Can use any and all elements as spells only limited by mana and imagination.

I noticed it has no direct correlation to stats but it makes my spells significantly more powerful and cost way less mana. Sam asks me when I¡¯m getting ready why I¡¯m still going to work? I explain to her that is what I have to do to pay the bills. Sam says you have about 2500 golds from the sales you told me to do. I said yes If I had time to sell some of them I could pay my bills. Sam is literally laughing at me! I¡¯m over here frustrated because she can¡¯t breathe and isn¡¯t explaining why. Finally she calms down enough to explain the inventory system has a conversion system built right in. She says if it didn¡¯t it would be worthless with people from all different worlds teleporting to the dungeon world. I guess clearing dungeons is my job now. I ask her if it¡¯s possible to link it to my checking account and of course it is. I then show her my budget and we set it up to automatically pay all my real world bills and pay off everything except recurring bills like rent/insurance. So I guess I¡¯m up for nothing and I don¡¯t need to work but I can¡¯t just leave them high and dry since I know they can¡¯t cover my shift. So I go ahead and go to work and put in a two weeks notice. I plan a trip for the upcoming weekend with Lisa to go see my Father a couple of states over. I want to go heal him since he has been disabled for about 15 years with severe neck problems. Loading up the Motorcycle for the trip to see my Dad is so easy with a inventory cheat. I have all my stuff and a couple weeks of food I bought and stored after the last dungeon incident. I put Lisa¡¯s stuff in my inventory too so we can pack light on the bike. We go ahead and ride out and arrive there a very relaxing 12 hours later. When we get to my parents house. I have to introduce them in person to my Fiancee Lisa because they haven¡¯t ever met her. Of course my parents Bill & Jean are surprised that we came out. My Dad and I have the same year and model Harley. Man that¡¯s dirty and all scratched up. How could you let it get that dirty? (Dad) Come on man we just rode it 800 miles to see you of course it¡¯s dirty. (Me) I see you have Vance and Hines pipes but still have the baffles. We can make it way louder. It doesn¡¯t need to be louder! I can never hear my bike as it is. (Lisa) Let him come in the house already shesh. (Mom) What brings you all the way out here? Would you like a coffee or a coke or do you need anything. I can make dinner. I¡¯m fine we just ate. Lisa do you want anything? Yeah any diet pop or unsweetened tea. Why the fuck would you not put sugar in tea? Hahahahaha So what brings you out here? I know you wanted to ride together but 800 miles out of the blue isn¡¯t normal. Well Dad something happened to me and I have these powers. *I cause my right hand to be covered in flames* *Throws his cup of coffee at my hand and in my face* Hahahahahaha, you just had to show off didn¡¯t you? *Grabs a towel right away*The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. Jesus Christ Dad that¡¯s what I came to show you. I heal Mom next since she deals with pain in her hands due to her job. Holy shit I don¡¯t feel any pain at all anywhere! Keep that glowy shit away from me. I don¡¯t need none of that magic shit. *Heal Dad anyway and I have to do it 3 or 4 times the power of Mom to heal his extensive injuries* *With tears in his eyes* Son of a Bitch it worked I can feel my hands and I¡¯m not in PAIN. *Jumps up and hugs me* It¡¯s ok Dad this is why I wanted to come. I knew as soon as I got the power to heal I was coming here the first chance I got! Hell yeah we can go riding tomorrow and I can show you how to ride the right way. After we clean up that dirty bike. Ok Ok we can clean it up. *Gets up and starts opening the garage door* Guess he meant now! So we go through all of the cleaning of the Harley. My Dad takes the windshield and saddle bags off to clean behind them. I didn¡¯t even know they came off. He then puts it on his bike lift so he can clean the rims and tighten each spoke individually. He uses some fancy cleaner and gets the scratches off the windshield and removes the small amount of rust just now showing on the pipes. He starts taking the rear brake pads off and the tire. Dang Dad I didn¡¯t expect to rebuild the thing! Nonsense you can¡¯t ride it with a bald tire and no back brakes! You¡¯re lucky you didn¡¯t kill yourself. We will go to the Harley dealer tomorrow and get the stuff I need to fix it up. Ok Dad we can do that and then go on a ride. Damn I should have rode mine! Yours looks amazing! He does that every time he rides it. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t like to go the cleanup is just nuts. Bullshit you don¡¯t want to ride a dirty or unsafe bike. We talk late into the night and my Dad starts singing some old Dr. Hook songs with his huge karaoke system. My Mom tries to show Lisa how to dance on the tables and we generally have a great time! The next day we head over to the Harley dealer and get the tire replaced and pick up some brake pads. We head back and put it all back together. We spend the day just chilling and visiting my Dad¡¯s favorite spots to ride. We stop at a picnic area and my Mom starts pulling out lunch. I decide to throw in some Yeti steaks and have Sam start making them. Of course this starts a huge convo because I have a fairy! What the fuck is that thing? I¡¯m his fairy companion thank you very much. (Sam) Oh my god it¡¯s Tinkerbell! I want to pet it. You better not I¡¯ll bite your ass! Hahahaha Tinkerbell ha! I¡¯m never letting you live that down Sam. Leave Tink alone I want steak! Fuck off! *Sam decides to go full size* What the hell I didn¡¯t know you could do that! You better not be putting moves on my Man when you are in the dungeons. I never told him I could do it either. Although he should have noticed since I cook for him the entire time we are there! Sam you really should put some clothes on if you are going to be full sized! Shut up stupid I love that outfit! Grrrrr Grrrrr *Equips Clothes* Totally worth it. We go back to eating and hanging out and enjoying the ride! I¡¯m planning on going to see my kids in Ohio next so we aren¡¯t going to stay much longer in Indiana. I didn¡¯t really do anything that would change my stats but I¡¯ll post them anyway. Wolfman Stats: Hit Points: 900 Mana: 2760 Stamina: 900 Regen rate: 17.8 per minute outside of combat Strength: 33 Dexterity: 28 Intelligence: 23 Wisdom: 23 Luck: 8 Vitality: 90 Willpower: 5 Level: 15 Class: Primary: Elementalist Mage lvl 3 Secondary: Battle Mage lvl 3 Skills Magical Healing: 280hp (Base 50 + Wisdom x 10) Sleep Learning: Learn anything you wish without Mana or Stamina costs General Elementalist: Can use any and all elements as spells only limited by mana and imagination.

He tells me he¡¯s always been a better fighter than me and since he¡¯s not hurt anymore he wants to come. I tell him I¡¯m worried about what will happen when I¡¯m automatically teleported to the next dungeon and Sam says you could always go there voluntarily daily and you won¡¯t be forced to do dungeons. I am shocked beyond belief that it¡¯s that easy. I ask her if I could take others with me and she¡¯s like of course. Will we still return 5 minutes after we leave? Yep you sure will and if you make them companions you can add them to the system so they can level with you and get loot too! Holy SHIT Sam that changes everything. I immediately choose to make Lisa and Dad my companions. I ask my Mom and she says no. Someone has to pay the bills and hang out at home. Sam is there a limit to how many companions I can have. She says of course but it¡¯s based on your willpower and currently you can have 5. Sam do you count in that total? She said nope I am a Spirit companion and you bought me so no. Does everyone on earth have to be in the same spot to go with me? Maybe we could all teleport from where we are and end up in the same place in that world? Sam says I don¡¯t know but it¡¯s worth a shot. Can I drop a companion later if necessary? She says sure you can change them out as needed. So I add Mom anyway since it gives her an inventory and access to skills. Dad and I get ready and take off with Lisa to go visit Bethany in Ohio. Bethany is my 19 year old daughter from my first marriage. She is gorgeous with long blonde hair and a hourglass figure. She has fibromyalgia and deals with pain daily too. I have another daughter Shawna who is equally pretty but doesn¡¯t really interact with me much. We will make the effort to see her but I¡¯m unsure if she will be receptive. Sam says why not visit the Otherworld now? Before we head to Ohio to stop you from being sent to a dungeon tomorrow? I think that¡¯s a good idea so I equip my armor and weapons. I have extra sets of basic gear I give to my Dad, Mom and Lisa and we head to Otherworld in a town Sam suggests. Dad wanted to visit some trainers for swords and Mom wanted to shop for some clothes and Lisa wanted to see everything! So we leave Dad at the warrior trainers school and head to the General store and pick up some basic supplies. Like a map of all the local dungeons and basic strategy guides from other explores. I¡¯m thinking I should build a full party with my family since they want to come. I ask Mom to learn how to make potions with me, Lisa wants to stay and help too. We all learn basic health and mana and stamina potions. Then Mom wants to stay and keep learning and Lisa I take to the temple and we watch the girls there heal and cure people of all kinds of things. We pick up the skills cure and heal all. Plus mend bone and we also learn some basic beautification spells. You can change the way you look as long as you keep the overall mass the same. So like Lisa is able to get the flat tummy she works her ass off for and move some of the mass to her butt and boobs! (Not that she needs to change at all <3 Everyone picks up skills and armor and weapons for their classes. So we head back to see Dad at the Warrior school to find him beating the crap out of the instructor. I just chuckle, Dad never could avoid a good fight! I ask him if he learned to fight with swords and she says yep. I give the trainer a bit of extra gold and heal him up again to compensate for Dad being Dad! I show everyone how to equip outfits from their inventory and how they automatically adjust to size. Mom and Dad love it! They can¡¯t wait to go home and put all their clothes in it. Mom and Lisa are damn near in tears thinking about never doing laundry again! We decide to head to the Tavern and pick up some food before we head back to ride to Ohio and we see my friends! Cleik the Warrior and Cat the archer and Frank the rogue are all there! I introduce everyone and they are excited to meet my family. I explain to them I didn¡¯t know I could come here voluntarily and do what I want instead of being forced to do dungeons. Since we don¡¯t really have a tank in our team. I have everyone friend everyone and we plan to do the same dungeon again tomorrow morning together. The food is amazing since it¡¯s all made without preservatives or chemicals. I pay for Cleik¡¯s teams meals too and we head back to Earth.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. Once their Mom changes her mind once I offer to pay off the house and cars and stuff. The exchange rate is amazing! So with 2 Harleys we set off towards Ohio and we all wear our Leather Armor sets because we like the stat boots. So we ride to Ohio which is about 5 hours from Indiana but with stops for fuel it¡¯s about 6 hours. We all head to Bob Evans since that¡¯s where Bethany works and surprise her! We sit in her section and tip her a huge amount and then just hang out until her shift is over. We head over to a local park so we can chat with Bethany and bring her up to date on the things happening and show her some magic! She of course wants to be a DPS like in Diablo and is super excited. So we add her too, and give her an outfit Mom/Lisa picked out for her and a bow. We stop off at the Harley Dealer since Bethany wants to ride with me and Lisa is capable of riding herself. We pick her up a Heritage Softail just like me and my Dad have. However hers is new since money isn¡¯t really an issue. We head over to my Ex¡¯s house on 3 loud ass Harley¡¯s which has got to be one of her nightmares! I love it and we pick up Shawna too and go for a ride around town and show Lisa the stuff my Dad loved when he lived in Ohio with us. I explain the companion system to Shawna and she¡¯s not too interested but wants the inventory system so I add both of my daughters. We are planning on doing a dungeon run tomorrow morning and I explain to Shawna no matter how long we leave for we would be back in 5 minutes. Shawna is an accomplished singer so she chooses to be a bard. The next morning we head to Otherworld together. We discover we can teleport in from different places. Bethany lives with her Grandparents and Shawna with her Mom and Lisa and my parents and I all stay in a hotel. We all arrive together in the outskirts of the town we were at yesterday. Mom doesn¡¯t want to do dungeon runs and neither does Shawna so Mom heads to the apothecary to practice potions and level that way. Shawna heads to the Tavern with us and is planning on singing and hanging out there. I ask the Tavern owner to take care of her. Then we form a perfect party. Which is 7 members and it looks like this: Cleik - Tank Dad - Warrior Cat - Archer Bethany - Archer Frank - Rogue Lisa - Healer Wolfman - Mage (mostly) We do the same goblin dungeon I did my first time in this world and we take it slowly. I don¡¯t gain any levels but we pick up a few nice things to sell. I have everyone of my family add some vitality since we can easily train strength and dexterity by doing stuff. However I don¡¯t want anyone to die. Sam tells me I¡¯m being too paranoid since we can respawn at the temple however I don¡¯t trust that and am in no hurry to test it out! We do the entire dungeon about 3 times. Mostly I¡¯m doing buffs and defensive shields to mitigate damage. Everyone else is training their abilities and my Dad keeps killing shit in the most horrific ways possible and it¡¯s kinda creepy! After finishing the dungeon we head back to town and Mom and Shawna meet us at the Tavern. Shawna had a great time singing and doing different types of music they hadn¡¯t seen before. The Tavern owner begged to hire her full time and Shawna gained a level just by singing and even got a few buff spells! Mom learned how to make an invisibility spell and got to the next level of potions so she can heal for a lot with a simple potion. She¡¯s going to go around back on earth and give them to her huge family from Alabama! After we head back to earth Lisa and I have just enough time to head back to Missouri so we can be there when the kids get back from their Dad¡¯s. So everyone goes their separate ways. We will meet up frequently in Otherworld and do dungeon runs or just hang out and listen to Shawna sing! I¡¯m really looking forward to a future where I can be physically with my family daily in Otherworld and we can grow stronger than humanly possible! THIRTEEN THIRTEEN I talk to Sam about the point of the System and she explains it will eventually come to everyone on earth and dungeons and things will show up. Ordinarily there are a lot of deaths when worlds are assimilated. I ask her if there is a way to prevent that. She says well that¡¯s why 10 people are given access 2 years early so they can prepare the way. Sam has a power to mark people so they will all be teleported to wherever she is. So based on that and the world changing I guess I better start building a safe zone somewhere. Now where in the world is a nice place to farm that I could put a very defensible castle and town? Lisa and I had recently went to the Ozarks on a mini vacation on the Motorcycle so we decide to check out that area more thoroughly for a good spot we can buy. In Arkansas the areas we visited were rather poor so I don¡¯t think property will be all that expensive. We buy a area with a couple 1000 acres and start trying to build a place up. I research castles online since I¡¯m not an architect to find designs I think will work well. I¡¯m thinking something like this would work but on a much larger scale. I want the farmland to be protected by the wall. I of course add another wall all the way around the property line. Lisa and I travel all over the country tagging people with Sam¡¯s skill so we can teleport people to this location when the system goes live. I buy a ton of equipment for reloading rounds for guns. I stick primarily to a 9mm round. I buy everything from handguns to carbines I know a 9mm doesn¡¯t have a ton of stopping potential to bigger threats but with magic and what not once a person or monster passes level 5 bullets won¡¯t work anyway. My family and I have worked up to be level 25 for each of us so we are so far beyond what a normal human can do just trying to not move too fast to be possible in public is a real struggle! I use magic on every bit of the construction so the lights and bathrooms and everything are operated by magic. That way if regular services vanish with the intro of the system we will still be good. I plan to go ahead and hire some people to start farming and raising livestock. I don¡¯t know how so I figure we may as well get a head start on it. After we get the place built I get a new screen called Land Management. The system assists me with basics like in a war game. Also by claiming a home domain we can keep monsters from spawning in our area! I notice I bought enough area to be called a Viscount and it says if I buy or claim more we can increase my rank. I¡¯m not really interested in being a King but I also don¡¯t want anyone else to be my King. So I start buying up enough land around it through the system. The odd thing is the system doesn¡¯t recognize others as owning anything. So theoretically I could just claim the entire US plus Canada and Mexico. However I have no illusions I could hold it. Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. The next day when we are in Otherworld doing our dungeon runs I ask the team if they want to come back with me and see the Castle I¡¯ve been working on for months. They all agree and come with me to see it. Cleik and Frank had lots of ideas on how to incorporate defenses with mana barriers to increase the walls effectiveness. I guess that¡¯s how the big cities do it in Otherworld but as we had never gone there we didn¡¯t know. I start the ¡°farmville¡± program inside the system and it produces food/wood/metal/stone much faster than doing it myself or even hiring a group of people to do it. People I don¡¯t know started appearing when I turned it on and just went to work. I asked where they came from and they are from another planet and asked to be transferred through the system. They all come with families. So I quickly set up housing and businesses for them to run. I set the tax rate at 10% for the Kingdom and then plan to set 10% for the towns. That way no one can be taxed more than 20% and it¡¯s a flat sales tax. I go ahead and purchase another couple towns inside the outer wall. Other people start building it! I¡¯m super impressed I don¡¯t have to do all the construction! I do hire some locals anyway because why not? I also want the system users to get used to people from Earth. I also have 2 different monetary things to take care of personal and Kingdom now. I have Sam taking care of the treasury position for both but I really need to hire or find a right hand man to handle most of the day to day stuff. Looking through the interface I see we can spawn our own dungeons early to help people build up their strength. I spawn a 1-10 in one town and a 11-20 in the other. Then in the Main Kingdom I spawn 2 one is 21-30 and the other is 31+. I set up all my family and friends with the teleportation runes. That way we can meet in my city. The problem with that is all the time we spend in Otherworld doesn¡¯t really count. Since we are gone 5 minutes no matter how long we visit. So we decide to keep going there daily and some of us do the dungeons at home also. I also set up an outpost of the Adventurer''s guild in my Kingdom and towns. That allows me to bring people into the system early by registering them as an adventurer. I go ahead and do that with the family. Then I go visiting friends and family and Invite them to see my new place. We have a huge party as an excuse to get them all there. Who doesn¡¯t like a good old fashioned pig roast? I bring my friends from my old Security Manager job over. Tye is a 5th don in Kung Fu and was my right hand man in Security. I bring him and his entire family over. I also bring Herman (Maurice) Hill and his family over he was another one of my ¡°A¡± team. I bring them into the system and then after explaining it for hours and hours. I take them on a dungeon run for level 1¡¯s they are both very powerful as humans but love the idea of going beyond that! Surprisingly most of my friends/family turn me down right now because they have their own things going on and don¡¯t believe they will need to do anything drastic like moving across the country to stay safe. So I tag them all so I can teleport them once the system goes live.
