《Second Chance》A Trial(2)rewrite

"Who's there?" her voice quivered as her head whipped in my direction. Fearing that she would hurt me; I stayed silent. her footsteps rustled as they roughly trudged through the long blades of grass. I scanned my surroundings and saw a stick by my feet .carefully picking the stick up, I lowered my body into a pouncing stance.
A deep notch was left just above my hair. A brown and rusty sword was lodged into it. terrified, I fell to the hard ground and sat there dazed, my breath drowning me as I breathed heavily.
"GODDAMNIT!, Why is it always getting stuck in trees "her brown hair whipped my face as she turned around the tree and yanked the sword out. She fell directly opposite me.
"AHHHH!" we both screamed as we were both startled. I was surprised to see another person.
"w-who are you?!"She tried to grab her sword but it was thrown quite a distance when she fell. After she realised she put her arms up.
"If you're not going to answer I'll knock it out of you!!"She proceeded to stand up and so did I. She was quite small and she was wearing a hoodie with a tracksuit bottom.
"Why don't you first tell me who you are!"I responded whilst creating some distance from her. She slowly backed into her sword at the same time making eye contact with me.
"No, I asked first and anyways what the hell were you doing hiding behind a tree"Her face turned red as she spat out word after word rapidly. She then began to take in several deep breaths.
"Anyone would be scared when someone is carrying a weapon and swinging it around dangerously, My name is jasos. ok! now tell me who are you and what was that thing u killed"I stared straight into her eyes and stopped moving.

"took you long enough. My name is Silva and that 'thing' was a goblin. How come you don't know about this? Didn't you also get an overview of what you're supposed to do"She directed a look of weariness and confusion to me? Her grip on the weapon which she had just picked up slightly weakened.
"I.. was but something happened and I don't remember what I was supposed to do. Also, how did you get a weapon? and how did you know I was behind the tree?"I looked enthusiastically, if I could get my hands on something to protect myself then I wouldn't have to be so pacifistic about everything.
"That's fine. all you have to do is open your status window by saying 'status window' and choose a class. From there you get a weapon and a skill. One of my skills lets me have a better perception of my surroundings. I'm honestly shocked you forget these important things"
"Thank you" I mumbled to her.
"OPEN STATUS WINDOW"
A surreal event took place right in front of my eyes. many strands of blue light materialised and gathered together to foram a slightly transparent blue window.

*CHOOSE CLASS*
The words shuffled and morphed into 4 figures, 3 of them were grey whilst one of them was green:[The Warrior] was swinging his longsword down, creating strong currents of wind. [The mage] was making symbols with his hand who then made the air explode. [The archer] was pulling his bowstring, releasing a single arrow to several arrows, some of which looked and impacted differently like the frost arrow. Lastly, [martial master] was posing in different stances and unleashing multiple punches at very small intervals. Warrior caught my interest as it was the only one in a different colour.

[The Warrior]
the pinnacle of the human body and mind.
+10 strength
+7 intelligence
+5 stamina
Skills:
Downward slash{uncommon}: The user deals a downward slash which lowers defence by 10% and deals x1.5 damage(strength).[Active:2 minute Cooldown]
Unwavering will{common}: Warriors do not feel fear, Instead, they make others fear them. Intelligence is X1.5 the normal amount[Passive]
Aptitude:[67.8%]
This was the only class with uncommon skill and an aptitude of above 50%. I knew that warrior was the right class for me. The rest seemed nice but skill-wise they couldn't compare to downward slash which had a lower cooldown and dealt more damage. I chose warrior.

Reincarnation of a Businessman
A businessman is betrayed by those he holds dearest and reincarnates into a mystical world of cultivation where the power of a single person can split the heavens. However, his reincarnation does not go smoothly... ******************** This is a xianxia (cultivation/progression fantasy) story which fuses a lot of western fantasy elements. This story includes POV's of different characters which are all going to be developed in the future and will have an effect on the story. The novel is named after the reincarnation of the businessman which serves as a cataclysm in the world of cultivation, and while the MC uses some of his business knowledge, this novel is not centered around the MC creating a business empire. I plan to extend the story into at least 2 books, both taking place in the same world. ******************** Updates will happen once every 2 days, but this is often going to change to once every day or once every 3 days because I am not currently writing full-time, and neither is my editor.
