Chapter 2: A Cheat Skill
After he reincarnated, Gab peeked outside the window to see a small peaceful village with houses that hang on giant trees. For some reason, he didn't see any inhabitants. He tried to scan the village for any signs of people and while he was searching, he heard a shout...
"Gab!, Come down here and eat your breakfast!," a woman shouted...
"I'm not hungry!", Gab replied...
"So my name in this world is also "Gabriel". What a coincidence. And moreover, it seems like I have my own family in this world since that voice sounded like a mother's voice...", he thought...
< Ping! >
"What now? Did it came from the Status"
*The Status Panel pops up
"Woah! It wasn't intentional but it still came out. Looks like it comes out as long as I just say status. I'll have to avoid saying this carelessly in the future 'cause it'll be embarrassing if it suddenly surprises me in front of other people...", he thought...
Gab noticed a new button under the "Help" button...
"What's this?", he said as he presses the mysterious button...
After he pressed the button, a message showed up. The content of the message says...
[ It wasn't a coincidence that you're name in that world is still "Gabriel", after all, that's the individual that I found after searching for someone that would be the most identical to you. The "Gabriel" in this world is not only identical to you in terms of name, you're also identical in attitude, likes and dislikes, type of women and even the size of your Junior. Well, except for the difference in height since you were once a human, he's basically the you in this world. You just need to act less suspicious and try to adjust to the lifestyle of a dark elf soon. Hohoho! ]
"Status...", Gab thought in order to close the panel...
"That guy. So he's also capable of doing things like these? Is he God?", he thought...
< Ping! >
"Another message? What does it say now? Status. Hmmm... It says...", He said as he opened the status window and read message silently...
[ Yes, I'm your so called, God. You can also call me the Creator. By the way, if you have nothing to do, I suggest you take a look at your skills... ]
"...", Gab was surprised and most likely, annoyed...
"So this guy has been watching me. That's kinda irritating since I won't have any privacy but who cares, let's take a look at my skills then...", He said while he press the "Skills" button at the same time...
[ SKILLS ]
[ ACTIVE SKILLS:
"Save Point": You are given the privilege to save your progress. The number of save slots will increase as you level up. You will be able to load your progress anytime you want...
Save slot: 1
Load CoolDown: 24 hours
"Shadow Step": An innate skill of the dark elves. After activating, your footsteps will reveal no sound for 3 minutes. Cannot be used on places with many people...
Stamina Cost: 20
CoolDown: 15 Minutes
Notice: Dark Elves are not allowed to have more than 5 amount of active skills in order to balance the power of all races since dark elves have overwhelming physical abilities...
PASSIVE SKILLS:
"Dark Elf's Authority": The Monsters in the forest are thankful to you for protecting the forest and will never attack you. By using your authority, you can order them anything you want and they won't be able to disobey your orders. Every monster that stays in the forest for 1 month will be considered as a forest monster...
"Race Advantage": Dark Elves are specialized in assassination, You are able to see clearly in the dark. Your physical stats are also raised 4x the normal speed... ]
"I can't have too many Active skills? That's unfair, really unfair, "Shadow Step" sounds cool but I think this is only useful when sneaking. My passive skills looks amazing though, so I think having no more than 5 active skills is fine. Hmmm, "Dark Elf's" authority basically makes me the king of monsters as long as it belongs to the forest. "Race Advantage", DAMN THIS ONE IS BROKEN!!, So If I just train for 24 hours, my physical stats will go up as if I trained for 96 hours...", Gab excitedly said as he punches the air repeatedly trying to ease his excitement...
"By the way what's this skill? Save Point?", Gab said as he read the description of the Skill: "Save Point"
"Eh? This skill basically grants me Immortality doesn't it?", Gab happily thought...
< Ping! >
"Oh, Another message", Gab pressed the message button
[ You will still die if you get killed silently. You will really be immortal if you somehow be aware if your death is coming. Hoho... ]
"It's annoying but God's right. Anyways, all these thinking made me hungry. I guess I'll go down and meet my family then...", Gab said while wearing a smiling face...
"Mom, are there any food left?, Gab called as he goes down the stairs that is right beside the door to his room.
"Yes, there are still some on the table...", his mother replied...
"Hmmm, so she's my mother. Wow, her skin rivals an African woman's but it's kinda different. And she's... young? And tall... And sexy... And pretty... And... pointy ears?", Gab was shocked by what he saw...
He dashed straight back to his room to get his thoughts back in order...
"Pointy ears? Now that I mention it, my skills' description were talking about dark elves. The floor looks farther? or am I just tall? and my skin is also dark. And God also told me to adjust to the lifestyle of Dark Elves. Don't tell me...", Gab worriedly thought while searching his room for a mirror...
Finally seeing a mirror, Gab immediately took a look at his face...
"Dark skin, Dark Eyes, Long white hair. Yeah, Dark elf indeed...", He said while wearing a frowned face and smiling with disappointment...
After sulking for a while, Gab finally accepted that he's no longer a human. He went down the stairs and ate his breakfast...
Carefully looking at his surroundings, Gab slowly adapted to his new life as a Dark elf and asked for permission from his mom to go out to the forest. She accepted and warned Gab not to stay out for too long or else his father would be angry.
Gab wore the brown hooded robe above his sleeveless white shirt and his long shorts that cover his legs down to underneath his knees then, he walked towards the forest...
"After talking with her for a while, I learned that her name is Shantal and my dad's name is Granhart. It seems like I'm their only child...", He said while looking for a place to sit down...
Gab sat down on a large slab of stone beneath a giant tree deep in the forest...
"Status"
"In one of my skills, it says there that dark elves have overwhelming physical abilities. This makes me pretty curious as to how big my physical stats are...", He said while opening the status panel and pressed the character button...
[ Gabriel ElvenCrown ]
Race: Dark Elf
Titles: None
Level: 1
Strength: 23
Agility: 47
Stamina: 223
Luck: 68
Charisma: 124
"These are... pretty big? How would I know that I have overwhelming physical abilities without something to compare to?", He talked while scratching his long hair...
"Oh, Right the help button!", he said as he pressed the help button...
While he was searching for what he was wondering about, he unintentionally read about so many things that piqued his curiosity.
"So my ElvenCrown tribe is a family of dark elves who once ruled the entire forest. Moreover, this forest is not just your normal forest. This forest is called Great Forest of Dryadalis because of the large number of elves residing in this forest...", Gab said as he continued to search for more information...
"Ah! Here it is! So a normal persons physical stats on level 1 are..."
Race: Human
Level: 1
Strength: 5
Agility: 8
Stamina: 68
luck: 13
Charisma: 57
Wow, that's too low", he said with a smirking face...
Taken in by the amount of newly found knowledge of the world of Aqraisha, Gab wasn't able to stop himself from reading more about this new world...
Wanting to find a more comfortable place, Gab attempted to climb the tree behind him. He climbed up the large stone slab and took hold of a short branch of the tree...
< Kachak! >
Unexpectedly, the one he thought to be a short branch of the tree was actually a lever. This lever was functioned to open a secret door, and that secret door was the large stone slab that served as Gab's footing when he attempted to climb the tree...
"What the HELL!!, AHH!!!"
Gab fell down deep in a dungeon, and the first thing that came to his mind was a story about the ElvenCrown Family's Royal Palace that went missing after the ElvenCrown family stepped down as the Ruler of the Great Forest of Dryadalis...
"I haven't even saved my progress yet. My luck stat was supposed to be high so why am I faced with a disaster right after I get reincarnated!?"
Fuming hot with anger. Gab fell as the door that seemed to be entrance of the dungeon slowly closed shut.
< Creaaaaaaaak! >
< Slaam! >
