My name is Kadi Janson, 18 years old, about 6'2"(187 cm), 183lbs(83 kg), clean shaven, medium length brown hair, and green eyes.

Today I was having the worst day of my life. My girlfriend Melissa just broke up with me because I refused to have sex with her because we weren't married yet. Even stranger was when I suggested we could just get married and thus make it a non-issue she got even madder. I just don't understand why wanting to swear to be together forever before risking pregnancy could be bad.

I could only sigh and shake my head in an attempt to clear these thoughts. It didn't work, every attempt just made my thoughts swirl faster, was I really in the wrong for wanting to find true love? I decided to go for a walk, maybe some fresh air would help me clear my head, I grabbed my pack and headed off towards the convenience store.

My pack had odds and ends, things like a small roll of fishing line, some duct tape, a swiss army knife, and a book on general crafts. Obviously it may be a bit strange to always be so ready for everything, but after I got lost in the woods for 2 days when I was 12 I became slightly obsessed with being able to care for myself regardless of what situation I found myself in.

While I was walking down the sidewalk lost in thought, I didn't notice the crossing signal had switched to don't walk moments before I stepped into the street. A loud honk broke me from my thoughts and I looked over just in time to see a large 18-wheeler heading right at me, the driver had clearly slammed the breaks with a look of terror on his face. The only thing I could think of right before I was smashed into bits was "hello truck-kun".

I had apparently been instantly obliterated as I hadn't felt any pain, instead it was like I blinked and was in a white void rather than where I was before. The void felt pleasant enough to be in, but if this was it for the afterlife it would become incredibly boring very quickly. Slowly a brighter light appeared to approach me, as the light got closer the pleasant feeling of the void increased, and then it spoke.

"Sorry about that, but I needed to get an offworlder to fix the problem on my world. Just a minor blind-spot spell on you and the driver to make you not notice the problem until it was too late."

"Why go through all that?" I asked back, feeling very relaxed in spite of the being admitting it caused my death.

"It's part of the rules, we gods can't influence the physical realm directly without serious consequencess, even using the spells to arrange that accident was painful, but it was needed."

"So... you needed me for some reason?"

"Yes, my world is in a consant state of war due to ancient hatreds and grudges keeping people from thinking peace is even an option, so wrapped up in what their enemy did 1000 years ago to even try being nice. This is where you come in, you have none of these hates or fears, thus you can be impartial."

"You are god, can't you have a prophet declare to stop fighting?"

"Good question, but no. I had to unlink myself from mortal prayers to protect myself long ago, gods that take prayers are more powerful but their minds are warped by those prayers. This is fine if the world is balanced, prayers for battle answered with prayers for peace. But after the wars started, almost all prayers were about getting the power to slay their enemies, it would have quickly turned me into a berserk maniac. But by not accepting prayers I am also unable to send divine messages or signs, I would need to open myself back up to the prayers first before I can tell anyone anything, and I would go mad before I could send the messsge."

"I see, so what exactly do I need to do?"

"Don't worry, I will place you in a good location to carry out your task and give you a minor boon. After that, with your addition to the world the rules of fate will become loose enough I can tweak things so you will have a fated encounter that can change the world. You should realize what your role is when the time is right."

"Wait, by fated encounter do you mean I will meet the girl of my-"

"Bye!"

And with a faint POP I vanished from the realm of god and appear on a road with a town in the distance.

Hello, I am the tutorial, I will explain basic concepts of this world.

First, please think "status check"

"Dreams? ... Dammit." I had to just facepalm, while that god seemed nice enough, he also seemed a little defensive about what exactly my mission was going to be. Well, for now let's do this tutorial 'status check.'

Name: Kadi Jansen

Class: none

Level: 0 Str: 10 Vit: 10 Dex: 10 Int: 10 Wis: 10 Cha: 10 As you can see, your stats are perfectly neutral, this is the effect of god's blessing, people usually have most stats below neutral and their class amplifies what they are good at. To gain a class you must go to a class temple, or undergo a special encounter. Your blessing means you will be competent at anything. Please think "options" to continue.

Huh, seems pretty standard so far, god's minor blessing being to make me perfectly average at everything is the strangest part. I suppose if the tutorial is telling the truth then having 10 or better in more then one stat is rare? Anyway, lets see 'options'.

OPTIONS

Hud: off

Party hud: off

Alarm: off

As you can see, your options are limited to a few visual things, there is no easy mode or similar, there is also no pausing so be sure to stop someplace safe to examine your menus in depth. This is all you NEED to know for now, I may pop up with information as you gain things that would go in those menus.

Yeah, figured that there wouldn't be much in there, but is that really all I get from the tutorial? Oh well, I should at least get off the road and in town, I've been standing in the middle of the road for like 10 minutes.
