Chapter 4: Chapter 4

Chapter 4

 

Well, that was better, and I feel good about those skills. I would love to get some rest. Also, I want to know why I’m aware of how this is all crazy, and yet I'm not freaking out. Any ideas? Pneuma? Trint asked.

Sorry to tell you, but your emotions are being manipulated by the System. For your integration to be successful, there are temporary guide rails in place to help you cope with the changes and need to fight. Your performance today showed great improvement and adaptation to your situation. I would say you deserve a chance to rest and consider all that has happened, Pneuma stated.

Trint was not pleased with the answers. No one liked being the object of manipulation. But amid this chaos, he was logically able to process and move forward.

Yes, rest, but where? Trint asked, exasperated. In case you weren’t aware, I was evacuated from the place I awoke from by our friend, Jack. People are after me! I don’t know where I can go that’s safe!

He felt a low, primal rumbling from deep within his chest.

I am afraid that you have been a victim of Jack’s deception. While there are people after you, your location has not been compromised. The house is safe, Pneuma revealed.

Trint’s blood pressure spiked, and he struggled to form a response. However, his unseen companion quickly continued, attempting to placate the man: While I may disagree with some of his methods, it’s hard to argue their effectiveness. Accepting the gift in an Instance kept the light show and power output private from the rest of the i11 inhabitants. Time to go. I’m sure you’ll be able to process everything better after you’ve had a proper rest.

Pneuma provided directions to get back to the house he previously woke up in without issues.

After cleaning the blood and gunk from the bears and rats off his sword and gear, he showered, finding yet more blood in his hair and some fur from the bears that had been stuck to him. Cleaned and refreshed, he ate a bit of food and all but fell into bed. He was asleep moments after shutting his eyes.

Good morning! Pneuma shouted, far too loud in Trint’s opinion. So, here is a little info for you to consider before you do anything else today... I will try to keep this short but it's important.

“Can I at least wake up a little?” Trint mumbled, shuffling to the bathroom.

First, you are in the kiddie pool, so to speak, his unseen companion continued without pausing. Your current location and challenges are designed for you to learn and adjust to the System and the goal of the Iterations.

Your entire body and mind are now basically restructured. You have basic stat pools and a few skills. You are starting with Mind and Body stats. With Mind, you have Mana and use magic and Mana-related skills. At the same time, your Body uses Stamina and health. Skills, basically, are how you will augment your actions or magic using the three main pools: Health, Stamina, and Mana. Are you listening?

Trint mumbled something unintelligible and reached for a toothbrush. No reason why he should have to sit and stare blankly every time Pneuma addressed him, right?

Most don’t hear about cultivation, or Spirit, and Soul till the Spirit Realms of i7-i5. That reminds me. We are in i11, a training ground for the newly integrated worlds. We have 120 days till we can leave here through the earliest Ascension and go to a more challenging Iteration called i10. Recruiters will arrive on day 31 and then 90 days later we can leave. These are the upcoming Iterations and their level requirements:
