《Skillmaster : Haven》Intermission Two - Skills

Intermission Two – Skills.
Skills within Haven have been designed to be the major influence in most endeavours, where a skill is determined to be an ability that must be learned , as opposed to an attribute, which is a physical, or mental, trait one is born with, but can only be improved upon by the allocation of points.
Unlike other incarnations of skills within Virtual Realities, a skill must be taught to the player by either a skillmaster with the knowledge of the skill being sought, or by the use of a rare Skills Crystal. An unknown skill can not, and will not, suddenly be available to a player, just because they have performed some repetitious task or action.
Once a player has gained knowledge of a skill from a skillsmaster they then can concentrate on training it up, which does not require a skillsmaster, but training and use of a skill.
For example, a warrior may not be a skillmaster and therefore be unable to impart the skill of longswords on a player, but can train any player who already has obtained the skill elsewhere.
Any skill will advance rapidly in levels at the beginning, as the experience needed to advance in levels is low, but a point will be reached where the amount of experience needed to gain a level will occupy a long period of a players time. Level gaining is a game of diminishing returns
Each skill progresses in Tiers, which are comprised of 100 levels each, the first Tier being the Beginners Tier. So a newly learned skill will start off at Beginners Tier, Level 0. When the player has advanced up in levels of a skill to be at Beginners Tier, Level 99, their next level will move them up to the next Tier Category, that being Apprentice Tier, Level 0. It is at this point the player will require the services of a Skillsmaster again, for a player can not move up to a new Tier category but must be promoted by a Skillsmaster in the skill to be promoted, and also must be of a higher tier standing in that skill than the Tier that the player wants to be promoted to. Higher level Skillmasters are far and few within the gameworld.

Abilities, on the other hand, are different than both attributes and skills in that they can be self taught, and do not require a skillsmaster to obtain. These are things that require attributes in their use, but can not be improved by training but by using the ability
There are twenty Tier Categories that any skill can attain, and each of them encompasses 100 levels in a skill. This means to gain the ultimate height in a skill requires a player to gain 2000 levels in that skill, a feat that could require more than one hundred years of training.

Tier 18 – Lesser God Tier Levels 0 – 99
Tier 19 – Greater God Tier Levels 0 – 99
Tier 20 – Creator Tier Levels 0 – 99
As a normal player within the game may never rise further than Tier seven or Tier Eight, due to time / life restrictions, the developers of Haven, Holobyne Technologies, have so far refused to enter into any discussion or explanation on why it has been designed in such an expanded manner.

Returning to No Applause, Only More of the Same
Kreig was summoned to the other world 130 years ago, the last 30 of which were spent in a constant, vengeful war against any army that would attempt to subjugate him. Once he returned, he found out that only 10 years had passed. He was given the title of War of the North but he never even knew about it. After all, nobody could get close enough to tell it to him. But that all changes one day when a portal opens, allowing Kreig and a small band of soldiers to enter one of many portals that leads to Earth. As it turns out these portals have been opening ever since he was summoned, giving the people of Earth abilities that the world he was summoned to only used to have. But now... now, he has returned. Longing for his former life of peace and understanding, he allows authorities to capture him on the spot, only to be faced with deeply personal questions, such as "who are you?" "what have you been doing for the past 10 years?" and "why is your level so high?" -------- ...Have you ever read a story where the main guy who got isekai'd returns to Earth. Say, for example, FFF-class trashhero or the necromancer of Seoul station? Say, what if the authorities actually became aware what kind of monster had returned to Earth? What if they actually tried to use them for something? Kreig's been in the other world for 130 years, has experienced three great wars, and he isn't okay. Mentally speaking, that is. He's been imprisoned, gained and lost comrades, been betrayed... The whole lot. By now, all he wants is to put it all behind him, something the world doesn't seem to want to let him. (Irregular updates, mostly written for fun, no strong planning)

DEATH QUEST
You are Hayden Waltess. You have no skills, no money, one family member, and a few good friends. If you don't find a way to make six hundred golden claws within the next forty eight hours, your little sister Shale is going to die. Steal the money? You can't break wards, and you don't know anyone who can. Beg for it? You live in Lecliss, the corrupt capital city of Raun. Beggars pave the roads. No one will notice an extra pebble. Earn it? Not through any normal job. You'd be lucky to make even a single golden claw in a week. No. There's only one way to make that kind of money in time. In a corner of the adventurer's guild lit by a dim lantern, three long, dusty, ragged pieces of parchment are pinned to a huge board on the wall. Each piece of parchment has an enormous sum of money written in bold at the top, an illustration in the center, and then countless names of adventurers below, each name written in a different hand, each invariably crossed out with a thin red line. The sign above the board reads: DEATH QUESTS An interactive action/adventure story with game-like and horror elements, set in the same universe as my other story, Gattican Drive. You can also read it on webnovel. Updates once every three days (unless it doesn't)

Synapsis (Liber Telluris Book 2)
Ancient biotechnologies, psychotic satellites, and incomprehensible enemies… The weaponized strain of the genophage—the disease that ravaged the world, turned men into monsters, and ended the Last Era—is in remission, but the effects of its attack on the genes of the Nethress family linger… Tvorh, an adopted Nethress biomage with everything to prove, is tasked by his liege Dorsin to invent a permanent inoculation against infection. At Tvorh’s disposal is an unprecedented resource: a princess of the Last Era, recently released from cryostasis. In this diminished age, her knowledge and power are unmatched. So are her psychoses and power-hunger. When the quest for answers drives Dorsin, Tvorh, and their companions into the deepest wilds of Tellus and the blackest voids beyond it, they will learn the single terrible secret binding synapse to synapse, biomage to genophage, man to Chimera… Past to present. Land to sky. And prey to predator. Because while fractious bloodlines war across Tellus’s surface, the true threat glides unrecognized through the void of space… Heading straight toward Tellus. *** Synapsis is the second book of a biopunk science-fantasy epic inspired by the altered philosophies and weird technologies of Dune, the ever-present familial machinations present in Exalted's Scarlet Empire, and the endless conflict of Warhammer 40K. The first book, Genophage, may be found on Royal Road.
