《Is it Reincarnation if I'm Still Dead?》Arc 1, Chapter 12: You're a Wizard, Tyler

"What's wrong Enbos? Is it another Blue Bear!?"
"No, no, I'm sorry for the sudden yell. It has been months since I levelled up."
"Levelled... up?"
Seeing Helena tilt her head, the truth finally dawns on me. There is no such thing as levels in this world.
For everyone else, growth is a continuous and gradual process, but... what about me?
Does each level simply update my stats? Is this sensation nothing more than a placebo?
No. Some of my skills have noticeably changed from levelling up. Moreover, I've confirmed my stats do refresh in real time. Whenever I don my cloak, I get an additional three points to defence and a negative point to agility. But if I'm using a RPG system, why is it having a real world effect?
Also, if levels are a foreign idea, what about changing classes?
"I'll explain later, but for now, I'm going to change my class," I tell Helena as I gauge her reaction.
She still appears confused, but goes on to say, "You're going to change your class? Shouldn't it be you have changed your class? I wasn't aware you had such aspirations."
I see. While mine appears to be automatic, it is the norm to work towards a desired class. I'm playing by a different rule set than the rest of Garea!
In any case, let's take a look at my options:
It seems certain conditions exist for a new class. I guess I can't power level myself to an undead god.
Skeletal Mage: Grants higher magical parameters. Proficiency in magic skills.>
Wait a second, is this my chance to learn magic? Will my mana pool finally reach the twenties? Sure it would be nice to move faster and hit harder, but I'm not taking it over fireballs, raising the earth, and using more than once!

Besides, I have the perfect instructor by my side. I'll have another reason to stay...
Beginning conversion.>
My body starts emitting a ghostly hue. I feel energy reinvigorate my every marrow. Helena watches in amazement as the glow beneath my cloak subsides.

At long last, my MP is no longer a pitiful puddle! The class change probably counts as a free level, in addition to reaching the cap. More importantly, my class level has been reset to one.
Store soul!? Why would I need to store a soul? I suppose it explains the description in regards to needing a container. Speaking of which...

I now have a method of replenishing my MP outside of waiting for half an hour.
Most of these changes are suitable for a mage, especially the larger mana pool, although I can't help notice one small detail...
I have no magic skills whatsoever.
"Enbos, what did you do? Your mana suddenly grew, and is now flowing through your body more freely than a moment ago! Did you really change your class just now?"
It seems Helena can perceive the flow of mana. Is that how she noticed the bear's ice magic?
Anyway, there's only one thing left to do...
"Helena!"
"Y-yes?"
"I have an important request... Please teach me magic!"

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?

Checkpoint
as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”. now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably. /————————————————— this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen. if you’re want world building check out hitchhikers guide to checkpoint (an encyclopedia of what I made up with lots more explanation)
