Chapter 31: Light Reading Excerpts from Brief History of Xoth: Dwarves Originating on the continent of Sogen, the Dwarves live under various kingdoms that inhabit the northern mountain range. In the past, these kingdoms warred with each other over the deposits of silver and gold in the mountains. After centuries of war, in the year 237 Second Era, King Gimren Bolaweth oversaw the signing of the Prosperity Treaty that ended hostility and outlined every kingdom's territory. Since then, the wealth of every Dwarven kingdom has exploded as they were able to focus on selling their mineral resources to each other and other races. The introduction of the global currency system only increased their prosperity. With peace among their people, the Dwarven kingdoms used this wealth to create extensive roadways between their kingdoms and boost their own defenses against other enemies and monsters. With the kingdoms' combined efforts, the dwarves have the largest and most well-armed militaries in the world. This aided in the many wars fought against Hastur and his Demon army. As described by their name, Dwarves are the shortest of the races of Xoth, averaging at 1.2 meters in height. Regardless of their size, they are considered the physically strongest race on Xoth after Demons. Their physical appearance is similar to Elves except the males are more stocky and the females are slightly less slender. Dwarven ears, while slightly elongated, end with a square end at its tip as opposed to pointed like Elves. Hair colour of Dwarves vary between black, red, orange, beige and blonde. Orcs The race, known as Orcs, originate from the southern savanna lands of Sogen and are considered a socially private and spiritual race. Orc culture is filled with rituals that concern the spirits of nature and their ancestors. They believe these rituals help improve their fortune, prosperity and future battles. Due to their strong association with spirits, Orcs are often called upon to deal with spiritual matters. These services include exorcisms and curse nullification. Orcs are most known for their green skin. The males have two tusk teeth that come up from their lower jaw. The females lack this physical trait. The males are heavily muscular and are the tallest of any of the Xoth race averaging at 1.6 meters in height. The only hair colour they can have naturally is black. The Orc race shares a symbiotic relationship with the Dwarves. Orcs have access to a large supply of animals to hunt and plants to gather. They trade it with the Dwarves for currency, precious metals, and military protection. The Dwarves, with a lack of animals and plants in the mountain range, receive a majority of their supply of meat, animal hide, and herbs from the Orcs. While their culture is focused on hunting and spiritualism, Orcs are considered the most technically skilled race when it comes to killing monsters. After centuries of hunting, Orcs are masters at trap making, strategies and weakness detection. It is because of this trait that Orcs often make great military officers and were instrumental in winning the last war against Hastur. VVVVVV "Aye really 'ike dis stuff," Vivian drunkenly muttered before she took another swig of her glass of whiskey. "Very stwong." "Good old Canadian whiskey," Tom said. He felt very warm as the alcohol took effect. "So smooth." Tom and Vivian sat across from each other at the kitchen island. There was an empty whiskey bottle between them and another bottle that was just two-thirds full. Reia, Sylmae and Tala had retired to bed early after a half a glass of whiskey was enough to make them feel light-headed. "Dis ees much stwanger den anything back en Xoth." "What do you... usually drink... back at home?" Tom asked. He struggled to get his words out due to his slight drunkenness. "Ale an' mead. No where 'ear es stwong." "Ah. I see. You are talking... similar to Axel." "Dis ees my 'riginal accent. Comes out when aye dwink." "It's pretty cute," Tom admitted. Vivian giggled and smiled. "Ya 'eally think." "Well, yeah." "Well, aye wouldn't mind talking 'ike dis more often if ya 'ike." "Just talk... however you like. Any way you speak... is good to me." "So I'm cute all da time?" Tom realized that his lips were a little too loose so he decided to end things before he said or did something he might regret. "I think we've drank enough," he forced out. "Long day tomorrow. Should sleep." Vivian finished her drink and groaned. "Mmm. Aye don't think aye I can go ta bed by me-self. Can ya 'elp?" Tom shoved himself off of the kitchen island and slowly walked around the island. He reached Vivian and wrapped her right arm behind his neck. "Come on," he insisted. Vivian slid off of her seat and onto her feet. Her legs buckled underneath her and forced Tom to hold her up. "Aye don't think aye can walk. Carry me." Tom rolled his eyes and placed his right arm under her knees. His left arm wrapped behind her upper back. Vivian rested her head on his shoulder. Tom carried her to the girls' bedroom at a slow pace to ensure he kept his balance. Vivian kept her eyes closed as he carried her. Once Tom reached the girls' bedroom, he slowly pressed the door handle down and opened the door. The room was dark except for the light that came in through the doorway. The others were fast asleep with a happy expression on their faces. Tom quietly walked into the room and over to the bed that Vivian shared with Reia. Reia was sleeping with her back turned to them. She had pillow cases slid down the top of her wings to help prevent them from accidentally unfurling them while she slept. Tom lifted a corner of the covers up and then lightly laid Vivian down on the bed. Tom pulled up the covers to ensure Vivian was properly in bed. Before he had a chance to stand up, Vivian quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. Her eyes were slightly opened and she expressed a sultry smile. "'ow 'bout a good 'ight kiss," she suggested. "What?" Tom yelped in a hushed tone. The drunkenness he felt before quickly left as adrenaline and anxiety filled him. "I can't do that. I'm with Reia and you're drunk." "Does dat mean dat if aye 'eren't drunk ya 'alf consider it." Tom didn't answer her. He just slowly reached behind his neck and gently unclasped her hands. Tom turned and walked away from her. "Good night, Vivian," he said before leaving the room. Reia turned over in bed and asked, "What was that about?" Vivian sat up and said, "Oh, just testing him. Drinking is a great way to get to know someone." "What happened to your manner of speech? Aren't you drunk?" "I am. Just not that drunk. I wanted to see how Tom acts like when his inhibition is remove. You'd be surprised how well this works. I find a guy I might be interested in and I get him drinking. I then find out the kind of person he is. So many smiling masks across so many ugly faces. It because of that why I've never had someone like you have Tom." "Seriously? I just thought the way you acted..." "I'm confident, not promiscuous." "How did Tom do?" "Best drinking partner I ever had. Wears a mask that matches his face. Also, he has a good taste in alcohol." "I knew it." "You picked a good one. I'll just see how things go from here. Though, I think I might be beaten out by someone else." Vivian pointed her thumb towards Tala. Tala shifted in her sleep and brought up a cloth to her face. She breathed in the smell of the cloth and then went back into a quiet slumber. "Is that Tom's shirt?" Reia whispered. "I noticed her steal one of his shirts from his laundry hamper. You know how Beastkin are like with smells like really like." VVVVVV Tom was the first one up the next day. He had a minor headache from the drinking of the previous night. A tall glass of water was what he needed along with some bacon. While he cooked, the driveway alarm went off. Tom walked over to the front door and saw a delivery van come up to his house. The delivery man hoped out of the driver seat with a tablet and approached the doorway. "Thomas Everett?" he asked. "Yup." The delivery man handed him the tablet and a stylus pen. "Please sign on the blank line at the bottom to confirm the delivery." Tom signed at the bottom of the tablet screen and noted, "When they say to expect delivery between eight and five, I never expected right at eight." "Guess it's your lucky day," he replied. The delivery man grabbed the tablet. "You're at the beginning of my delivery route." The delivery man tapped a few places on the tablet. "Alright, the Atlas will take your boxes out of the back." Tom watched the side of the truck roll up. The inside was filled with boxes and at the center of it all was a robot that was curled up in a box shape. "Do your thing, Atlas." The robot woke up and rose its head up in response to the delivery man's command. The robot rolled forward from its place. As its bottom rolled over the edge, a section of it extended downwards like a stretcher from an ambulance. Two arms popped out from its sides. Its hands were three pronged. each finger was an adjustable grabbers that resembled a forklift's lifter. "Atlas is brand new to Nile," the man explained. "Along side the flying drone division these robots will take care of lifting heavy packages. We're just rolling them out now." "Forgive me for asking," Tom said, "but if they have these robots do all this work and there's such things as robot cars, why are you still working?" Atlas grabbed tthree boxes and placed them in a container on its back. The robot then took a package in each of its hands. It then rolled by Tom and the delivery man. "They still need Humans. Someone could hijack the truck and steal its goods before headquarters gets an alarm. Basically, I'm a security guard for this truck. Also, that robot is worth more than the company is willing to admit. They don't want to send those out without supervision. They already have enough trouble with someone trying to shoot down their flying drones." "Ah." The Atlas gently placed Tom's packages on the ground next to the front door. After it finished, the Atlas turned around and rolled back to the truck. Tom and the delivery man watched as the robot climbed back into the truck. "That always creeps me out," the man said. "It automatically plugs itself in to keep powered up throughout the day. Easiest job I ever had. Anyway, have a nice day." Tom waved and walked back to the house. He eyed the five boxes that the robot left by his door. "And now comes the fun part." Tom stacked the five boxes and lifted them up. He brought them inside and placed them on the kitchen island. Tom wasted no time in tearing through the boxes and pulling out the books he ordered from the Nile website. One by one, Tom went through the books with his Book Learning skill. There were dozens of books before him, but with his skill, he was able to go through them in rapid succession. The books ranged from a wide variety of topics such as public speaking, cooking, human anatomy, martial arts, chemistry, computer programming, and guns. This knowledge flooded his mind, and as he expected, the books increased his skill levels and created news skills. Notice Persuasion has reached Intermediate Level 6. Notice Tactician has reached Intermediate Level 8. Notice Cook has reached Master Level 2. Notice Computer Skill has reached Intermediate Level 5. As these windows appeared, Tom smiled while he nodded his head in approval. In his spending spree, Tom also ordered books on sex and massages to help improve his skill in these areas. Notice Lover has reached Intermediate Level 1. Notice Massage has reached Intermediate Level 2. Books on combat was a major focus for him. The type of personal fighting-style he wanted was a versatile magic warrior. A sword isn't going to cut it in every situation. He predicted that other weapons may prove more effective against certain enemies. Books about different melee weapon fighting styles were among the books he ordered. Notice Due to learning many different melee weapon styles, you can fuse them all into one powerful skill. Do you wish to continue? "Yes." Warning Due to your previous lack of knowledge and experience with other melee weapons, your current Sword Skill and Club Skill level will vanish but your new skill will start at Beginner Level 5. Do you still wish to proceed? Tom thought about the consequences of having his main melee weapon skill level decreased. After some thought, he reasoned that losing eleven skill levels to Sword Skill is worth having an all-encompassing skill for close-combat. "Yes." Notice Congratulations. All of your melee weapon skills have fused to create the "Melee Weapon Specialist" skill. By creating a new skill you have increased all of your stats by 3. Melee Weapon Specialist TypePassive RankSLevelBeginner 5 (0%) Like any true warrior, you are skilled with a wide variety of close-quarter weapons. Your enemies better hope they do not face you in future battles. 'Note to self: try to create new skills to help boost my stats. Okay, now the biology and medical books.' Of all the books he purchased, the medical books were by far the most expensive. In turn, they granted him many special traits. Notice Heal has reached Intermediate Level 6. Notice Purify has reached Intermediate Level 6. Notice Congratulations. By reading several Human medical and biology books, you have earned the title "Human Anatomy". This title increases the experience gain for your Heal and Purify skill by 50%. You will also do 10% more damage to Humans. Happy with his newest title, Tom's eyes fell upon the next stack of books. This stack contained books about guns and stealth movement. The books about small arms and light weapons went into great detail about the various parts of guns, how they shoot or react, and various ammunition types. The books had a much different effect than any skill book before. Since these books contained detailed information about a large variety of gun categories, windows appeared in rapid succession that declared he learned a new skill. Eventually, he learned enough gun skills that a window appeared asking if he wanted to combine his skills. Tom, of course, replied in the positive. Notice Congratulations. All of your small arms skills have fused to create the "Small Arms Specialist" skill. By creating a new skill you have increased all of your stats by 3. Notice You have learned Small Arms Specialist. Small Arms Specialist TypePassive RankSLevelBeginner 1 (0%) Your ability to aim, shoot and reload small arms, such as pistols, shotguns, rifles, and machine guns, is dependent on this skill. Notice Congratulations. All of your light weapon skills have fused to create the "Light Weapons Specialist" skill. By creating a new skill you have increased all of your stats by 3. Notice You have learned Light Weapons Specialist. Light Weapons Specialist TypePassive RankSLevelBeginner 1 (0%) Your ability to use light weapons, such as grenades, RPGs, rocket launchers, vehicle-mounted weapons, and mortars, is dependent on this skill. Notice You have learned Stealth. Stealth TypePassive RankBLevelBeginner 1 (0%) You can control the amount of noise your movement makes. At higher levels, you'll be able to better blend into your environment and move more quietly. The final stack of books Tom needed to go through consisted of survivalist guides and self-help books. Notice Trap Master has reached Intermediate Level 2. Notice Unbreakable has reached Beginner Level 9. Notice Enhanced Mind has reached Intermediate Level 3. Notice Enhanced Body has reached Intermediate Level 4. Notice Congratulations. By reading books about surviving the impossible, you have earned the title "Survivalist". This title improves all natural and physical resistances by 5 percentage points. Notice Your Luck has reached 100. This has unlocked the skill "Lottery." Lottery TypeActivate RankALevelBeginner 1 (0%) Once per week, you may enter the SYSTEM lottery for a chance to win a prize. The prize can be the following: random temporary buff, money, experience, level increase, or rare item. To activate, just say "Activate Lottery". 'So good! Activate Lottery.' You won nothing. Notice Lottery has reached Beginner Level 2. "Oh," he groaned in frustration. Tom felt a slight throbbing in his head. He then felt a warm, stinging feeling in his right nostril. Tom reached up and tapped his nostril with his middle finger. He pulled his hand away and looked at his finger. His finger tip was covered in blood. Blood dripped over his lip and onto his chin. "Shit, shit, shit," he muttered while running to get a paper towel. He tore off a piece and placed it against his nose while tilting his head back. "What are you doing?" Tom looked over and saw a haggard Sylmae walk towards the kitchen island. "Morning," he greeted. Sylmae sat down and placed her head against the kitchen island. "I was using my Book Learning skill to boost some of my skills and learn some new ones. It seems I put a little too much pressure on my mind and now I have a nose bleed." "Shh, shh," Sylmae hushed. "Head hurts." Tom got out a glass with his free hand and filled it with water. 'All this from several shots of Whiskey?' Tom thought. "Here," he whispered as he gently place the glass of water down. "You'll feel better." Sylmae pushed herself off of the island top and picked up the water and chugged it down. "What happened to your nose, Tom?" Reia asked as she walked into the kitchen. By Reia's side were Tala and Vivian. Tala looked like she was ready to fall over from her drowsiness. Vivian, on the other hand, was the polar opposite. She had a smile on her face and a spring in her step. "Just a nose bleed," Tom replied. "I pushed myself a little too hard using my Book Learning skill." "What did you learn?" Reia asked. "Some gun skills and Stealth. I mostly levelled up my current skills. I also earned a couple titles that boosted my resistances and damage against Humans. Oh! I managed to boost my Luck stat above one hundred and earned a new skill called Lottery. It allows me to enter a SYSTEM lottery once a week. This gives me the chance to win a prize like a rare item or money." Reia helped Tala into her chair. Tom got another glass of water for Tala. Reia noticed the look of confusion on Tom's face and knew what he was thinking. "They never drank before. That whiskey was also stronger than anything back at home." "Why are you okay?" "The blacksmith I worked under often invited me for drinks." Vivian walked over to the piles of books that Tom left on one of the counters. "Lotta books here," Vivian said. "Yup," Tom replied. Vivian glanced over the stacks of books until one book stood out for her. She reached for it and carefully pulled it out of the stack. Tom's eyes widened when he saw what book Vivian pulled out of the stack. "Please put that back," Tom begged. "Kama Sutra," Vivian read out loud. The cover of the book depicted an old Hindi drawing of a woman being embraced from behind by a man. Vivian flipped the book open. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head. "Oh," she muttered. "A guide about lovemaking." Reia's gaze slowly drifted to Tom. He saw a smile grow on her face. Tala and Sylmae were still out of it with their hangovers. "Please put that back," Tom repeated. "And this book is filled with pictures. Oh my." Tom moved towards Vivian. Vivian started to walk around the island to keep her distance from him. "Is this what you are planning to do with Reia? Oh, and this! This one might be a little more difficult." "Vivian, Vivian, the book," Tom demanded as he increased his speed after her. "Not yet, I want to see more. You Humans seem that have extensive knowledge about sex." Tom kept increasing his speed, but with the island in the middle, he could only go so fast. The stomping noise that came from Vivian and Tom increased as well. This did not bode well with Tala or Sylmae. Vivian's laughing didn't help to improve the situation. In a swift move, Sylmae yanked the book from Vivian's hands and then smacked her over the head with it. Vivian and Tom stopped in place. Sylmae had a scowl on her face that made a chill run down Tom's spine. "You, quiet," Sylmae ordered while pointing at Vivian. She then pointed to Tom and said, "You, food. Now." "Yes, Ma'am," they both answered. --------------------------------------------------- Characters' Stats: [spoiler] Status NameThomas "Tom" Everett Level23Experience16870/17310 ClassMagic Blade
