~Xzavon

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Xzavon just got up from sleeping on his medium-sized bed, of course Xzavon is not his real name, but that’s the name everyone calls him since he told them to. Why you ask, it’s because that’s the name he made up when he role plays with his friends.

“Wha-What the Hell is this!!! I mean I know its a book, but why is it that when I look at it, a white screen pops up and tells me exactly what it is.” Xzavon started breathing heavy, like he was panicking, no it’s not like he was he is panicking. He exhales slowly and the white screen disappears, “Man I must have eaten something bad, thought I was messed up in the head or something.”

Scratching his head he just decides to go downstairs instead. Upon entering the living room white screens start appearing again and again where ever he looks, “Oh My GOD! why is this happening to me? Is this…what they call a power? Am I going to be a superhero?” Shaking his head he decides that can’t be the case. “MOOOOOM! DAAAAAD!!! there’s something strange happening in my head!”

A bulky man comes into the room, white hair, pale white skin you would think he was some kind of monster if you looked at him, but sadly that isn’t the case it’s just Xzavon dad, Jim. “What are you yelling for!?”

“Dad listen! Don’t freak out, but I think I have just awakened,…a superPOWER!” Jim starts to laugh”Hahaha, really my boy, tell me what kind of power did you awaken? X-ray vision, super-strength, can you fly, shoot lasers out your eyes?”

“Dad this is super serious, I mean you have a white box on top of your head.”

“Oh, really? I thought everyone had one when you first meet someone.”

“..”

Jim points towards the couch and he sits down. Sighing he says, “It’s normal to have that kind of reaction. You should be 14 today, so that’s the day that your qi stabilizes, which in turn makes you see the world in a new light.”

“Qi..?”

“Yes qi. It’s the source of this world, but it takes a long time for our bodies to adapt to it, for example a new-born baby usually takes 14-16 years before their body stabilizes. But for an adult who just entered this world like us many years ago it took 20+ years for our bodies to get use to it, we all had the same reaction as you.”

“Wait hold on. did you just say when an adult entered this world? so your saying…”

“Yes, we are not from this place originally. It all started 30 years ago when we were on planet earth, happily living our lives but out of nowhere did this giant meteor come into the ozone did we start panicking. It was bigger than our whole planet, we were going to die if it hit earth, no questions asked, death was certain. But a man with white wings, tan skin, and white hair came into the air holding this golden trident. To us he looked like a god, the only thing he did was yell, “If you want to live raise your hands.” Of course people raised their hands to that god like figure I mean if I had wings and could fly you would think I’m a god too. The next instant we were all here on this planet, but not everyone was sent to the same place we were all spread out and civilization looked like it hadn’t begun yet. It was just grass, dirt, trees, and animals we had to start all over from the very beginning, after 15 years of living like that everyone woke up one day and we all seen what you are seeing now, white screens. The gods of this world got annoyed at all our screaming and once again descended upon us telling us not to mind them (the white screens) and just keep living our lives. Hence we did, but the thing that was different this time was that we started leveling up and getting new skills. For example, I joined a group of men and we went hunting sheep’s, when we first met them after our qi awakened they were all level 3, after killing a few we leveled up. For skills it’s different, if you keep digging, then you will gain a digging skill, the more you use it, the better it becomes. To be honest the younger you are the better it is for you to start training your body, because once you reach an age where your qi stabilizes you gain stats, so the younger and more training the better your stats will become. Anyways, after a few years organizations started popping up and people started doing different things. Oh yeah, we also have “Nobles” but they aren’t much they just run the county or city. The real deal comes from us, adventurer, we travel the world to complete certain quest, kill monsters that appeared or escort merchants to different parts of the city/country.”

Wide eyed Xzavon just stares at his dad in amazement. “Amaze! Just Amazing How do I see my stat points, my level, and skills? When can I become an adventurer? And most importantly…WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME!!! I mean if I would have known I would have trained like crazy to increase my stat points.”

“Hahaha..we didn’t tell you because we are just living an easy life and we don’t need to do anything. Not unless you want to fight wars with the other countries but those are just small things, nothing big ever happened here.”

“What! This is lame, didn’t you say that you slayed monsters? I want to go do that.”

“Well…that’s the thing we killed all the monsters…so there’s really none left in the world.”

“DAMNIT!!! Why couldn’t I have been born earlier. I want some action, I want to travel, I Want ADVENTURE!”

“Don’t worry soon, just because there isn’t any monsters doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything. But for you don’t need to do anything, just check out your stats and see what you have.”

“How do I do that?”

“Easy, Open Info.”

“Open Info!”

“My stats suck balls dad.”
“Hmm that’s weird, usually everyone starts out almost the same. Let me see, Say “Share Info.”
“Share Info.”
Jim looks at Xzavon wide-eyed, mouth wide open. Grabbing his sons arm and lifting him up “My God, MY son is a Genius! A one of a kind Genius!”
“What? My attack is only 5, I have no strength and I have slow movement speed.”
“That doesn’t matter son, the only thing that matters is that you have a high amount of Spirit, let me tell you that is amazing. When you were born you must have been born with a powerful spirit beast, it could even be a Divine beast.”
“Divine beast? Pft yea right. I don’t want a spirit I want to be the strongest magician and be like Pew pew. Casting spells super fast, teleporting all over the place, now that would be fun.”
“Xzavon listen to me, you can train your magic power, or even strength, but in this world no one has been able to train spirit. With this amount of spirit you can do so many things that others can’t do. Listen well son, when your mother gets back we’ll talk more about spirit beast, she’s more of an expert on it than me, but even she’s not as amazing as you with your stats.”
“Not like it matters anyways, there’s no monsters to fight.”
“No son, I said there’s no monsters to fight in this world, all together there are 50 different worlds.”
“WHAT! Why didn’t you tell me!? That means I can still become an adventurer.”
Nodding his head Jim says. “Of course you can, but only when you become 17 can you become an adventurer. But for now you just need to go to train your stats and go to school, and upon graduation you can do whatever you want.”
“Do I have to go to school, those kids are mostly lame and all my real friends are in this area.”
Jim bitterly smiles, “Yes, you do this is the most important thing, without going to school you can’t do anything unless you want to be a farmer or a miner. Going to school is like the taking the next step in life.”
“Fine, I’ll go, but that doesn’t mean I’ll like it.”
Jim shrugs his shoulders, “Whatever you say, but when you go to school you can never tell them how high your spirit is otherwise…well just don’t tell anyone about it.”
“…If you say so, it’s still early in the morning so I’m going to go train my agility.”
“Wait, I have something to help you with that, stay here for a bit.”
Jim runs out the room and a few minutes later he comes back with some leg weights.
“Here you go son, put these on they are special and you can never lose them. Or I’ll hate you for ever even in my grave.”
Xzavon shivers and puts on the leg weights, “I don’t feel any different…”
“The weight will auto adjust depending on what you are doing, when you start running it will increase the weight by 10 pounds every 5 minutes you continue to run it will increase it by another 10 pounds. Its best for speed training, remember to take it off at night-time, but other than that keep it on unless you’re in a dire situation.”
“Gotcha!” Xzavon rushes out the door to start his training.
