《New World》Chapter 02- Adapting
Advertisement
[David PoV]
The world in front of me was no longer the same shitty world that i lived in. That tuxedo guy must have sent us here. I sincerely thank him in my mind.
I look at my surroundings carefully. The world seems to be a fantasy based one. I have only seen beasts and monsters roaming the regions. Alice clings to me in fright and stares up at me with puppy eyes. I calmly analyze the situation and explained it as well as I possibly could.
"Don't worry Alice, if anything happens I will be sure to protect you. But first lets find ourselves a few weapons. "
Alice nods quickly in approval with my suggestion.
I go yowards the nearest tree and tap it lightly. It sounds rather firm. I break two branches and start happily whittling away at the wood tryinv to make a makeshift spear for protection. Suddenly something unexpected happens.
New Skill Obtained
Fletching (Beginner Lv 1)
Allows you to make arrows and weapons from wood. Leveling up this skill makes it possible to do so with higher tier ingredients.
I jump back and exclaim " What the fucking hell?!"
I seem to have worried Alice. She looks at me eyes full of worry and asks me " What's wrong bro? Is it... a monster?" She is visibly shaken up. I decide not to worry her further and dismisses her saying yhat nothing was wrong.
Looks like she can't see this notification huh? But wait.. if its like this , Then...
"Status window " i say to the air. Yes obviously the air. Theres nobody in front of me. Alices looks at me puzzled. Suddenly,

Wis: 20
Luck: 12
My suspicions had been confirmed . This world had a game like element to it. I flick my hand and the status window disappears. My Str and Dex are not at the ones suited for my level. Am I really what they call a muscle brain? . I smile dismissing the possibility. My Int and Wis weren't possiblly that low. Were they?
I hand one of the spears to Alice and tell her to guard my back while I move forward. Alice seems happy that she was finally being relied upon. I take this chance to look at Alice carefully and check if there were any levels floating above her.
*ding*
You have obtained the skill
Observe(passive)
This skill allows you to observe the status and levels of any other existence. When in a party it allows you to observe the statistics of the other member.
I glance at Alice and explain the current situation to her. Disbelief flits across her face but she blushes and softly says "Status Window"
"Eek" she exclaims on seeing the window and looks at me.
I shrug and tell her. "Looks like this is the only way we can get stronger in this world. Survival of the fittest I guess. It seems we can form a party too. How about it?"
Alice nods furiously with a happy smile on her face.
I chuckle softly and send her an invite. I then bring up her status using Observe.
Status Window
Name: Alice Walker
Race:Human
Title:
Level: 1
Health: 100
Mana:140
Str: 15
Dex: 20
Int: 68
Wis:52
Luck:12
I nearly choke on seeing her stats. How can this be? My little sister is much smarter than me.
"In the end Im just a muscle brain.... hah."
"That was pretty obvious you know..." interjects Alice.
Please stop it Alice. Please allow your dear brother to wallow some more in self pity.
I turned to Alice with a grin , pointed at a nearby goblin and said
" Well. Atleast we know what to do. Such a simple world!! Hahaha.."
Sorry bout the short chapter. I needed to know how much it would amount to. Prepare for my next update soon. Leave a remark . Until next time! :D

Sinner's Resolve: An Agent's Wish
A demon that had never batted an eye while mercilessly reaping the lives of many. A prodigy who accomplished the impossible. A hero that dutifully followed his orders. A messiah of the people. Many titles were given to him, whether it be in praise or in fear, but only one thing could be agreed upon by the people...All who he had ever crossed paths with had met an untimely death. He slowly rose to the top and earned himself the name of Black Death. A nameless person who was eventually awarded a cursed and bloodied name... Must this continue?...... He stared at his hands before turning his gaze towards his next three targets. Their photographs were neatly aligned along his makeshift table, accompanying him inside of a dimly lit room. Each one of them had earned their seat as the best special agents within their respective organizations. There must be a way...There has to be a way... Shaking away his thoughts, he quietly pocketed away the photos before exiting the room. A chance meeting that would forever change his cruel fate, and a wish that would transcend worlds. This is the story of a man who had nothing yet lost everything but a single wish, a silver lining that would completely change his life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Notes - Hello everyone! This is my first work and I will hopefully stay around for a while. I will try to finish or at least expand on this piece of work for quite some time, expect a few hiatuses in between though, still have a bit of schooling to do. Expected release dates will probably be once a week(not sure yet) after I stabilized the novel a bit as I'm still debating on how I should handle this. I prefer fleshed-out works compared to quick releases, but it also depends on how I'm feeling. I don't have a lot of confidence in my writing skills and I believe that my writing style is a bit weird, but I do want to try my best to tell a story that's worth telling. I will gladly accept criticism but please try to pull the punches back a bit! I'm still only human after all. Very excited to work on this, please take good care of me as I proceed on this journey with all of you! P.S. If you're going into my series, expect to see cliches sprinkled here and there. I personally love cliches and a few tropes! But, that goes without saying, I want to put my own spin on them. Be ready to feel the edge!!! Heh.
