《A Savage's Journey》Chapter 6: Jason is Finally TALENTED!!
Advertisement
“THE BUGBEARS!” Jason jolted awake and out of a dream of one of the DnD campaigns he participated in. The first thing he saw was the dusty ground he apparently fell fast asleep on. The second thing he saw was the experience notification of the cycle.

LEVEL UP
“When did I lose health?” Jason searched his body trying to find the injury. Right when he started to move he couldn’t help but scream in pain. He stopped immediately. He couldn’t see the injury but the mind numbing pain he felt from his back probably meant that that’s where the injury was.
Without regard for the consequences of losing a cycle Jason took out his second to last fruit and ate it. This time there was no pain but as Jason watched his health it ticked all the way back up to 100. Yet he still felt pain from his back as he moved. Not as much but it was there. Then overtime he felt even that go away and he was just left with what he assumed was a bloody back and no injury.
Jason gently touched his back and felt dried something. After scratching at the dried substance he brought it up close to his face to look at it. It looked to be a mix of blood and dirt although it was hard to tell completely in this darkness.
“Fucking axes,” muttering under his breath Jason brought up the entirety of his status screen.

Before Jason was even allowed to do anything more a new screen popped up demanding his attention.
Talents
Touch of a Sprinter Increase leveling speed by 30% for Running Skills Touch of a Gambler Increase leveling speed by 10% for Running and Luck Skills
So I have to pick one. Well that’s easy I’ll just pick Sprin… actually… nevermind. I think Gambler would be a better decision. I’m almost certain that the Lodenstone was the skill that influenced that earthquake or whatever it was to drop a rock on the pressure plate. I mean that’s the only thing that makes sense to me. It’s just too coincidental otherwise. That’s all Luck is after all, natural random coincidences.
If I get the other luck skill, then Lodenstone and Well of Fortune level up quickly and then I’ll have more things happen and they’ll turn out better for me. Isn’t that how it works? Aren’t those two a little powerful for Tier 1 skills?
Jason didn’t consider the subject any longer and chose Touch of the Gambler. Then he threw all his stat points in Luck mainly because he had now decided to capitalize on the increase of random chance happening around him. Then he chose Well of Fortune as his next skill before he had a chance to regret it.

“Alright well at least I’m getting things. Although maybe not the right things… whatever” Jason stood and gave the middle finger to the still swinging axes. He turned around and started running down the corridor once more.

Jason had eaten his last fruit a cycle ago. He woke up with a groan and rolled to a sitting position before checking his experience and status.

One cycle ago he had reached level 4. His leveling speed was definitely going to slow down exponentially from level eight or so. It would probably take him a week or so to reach a new level at that point, maybe more. He only had seven experience at the time so he couldn’t unlock any new skill trees so he just took the Unnatural Speed which was actually kind of nice.
The Well of Fortune gained 110 experience for itself each time Jason’s good luck activated and influenced an event. Each of his skills gave half of what they earned to his general experience as well which was nice for him. Speeds up leveling at least. Though the rounding down to the nearest whole number is really annoying.
There had been two more activations of Lodenstone which were both thankfully good. It seems the experience that Lodenstone earns is based off of his level which means that it’ll give big chunks of experience until it maxes it’s rank. If there is a max rank.
Last cycle Lodenstone made me trip and fall on my face. Thank god it did though because I didn’t see the trap right in front me. This thing is really saving my ass sometimes.
The two running skills gained experience based on how much stamina he used. The skills themselves got the entirety of the stamina usage that was put towards running. Walking all day wouldn’t level this skill up. Then they gave half experience back to him as general experience which meant that stamina usage was almost counted twice.
Jason got up, threw all his points into luck and stretched for a minute or two. Running so much really tenses and stresses the muscles apparently. Although he could easily feel that he could run faster and for much longer now. I kind of regret not putting points into Vigor now. Ah who am I kidding I like the idea of just having everything fall into my hands. If I get enough luck that’s exactly what’s gonna happen. Jason grinned and took off running.
Then I just gotta be fast enough to outrun anything or anyone who wants to take what I “earned”.

Systematic Supremacy
A story of an individual with a cursed past and an unknown future. Follow the journey of Theo trying to find his purpose in a world full of cultivation, magic, and other mystical arts. What happens when someone without a will to live finally gains freedom along with an absurd amount of potential? Will he pursue strength in a world that values nothing but power, or will he decide to live a quiet and normal life for the first time? This is a story of a man with a system (yes, I know, very original), cursed with the faith of a protagonist. Whether he will follow the road of humiliating swarms of ignorant young masters asking for a beating, or carelessly pick up love interests from all corners of the world is yet to be seen.This story features many different realms and power systems, so if you enjoy novels with massive worlds and endless exploration, this is for you. Although it has a system, it is more of a manifestation of his own power and mysterious origin, not some gift from God.This is my first novel, and I am not a native English speaker, so the grammar won’t be perfect, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

The Order
The Order takes place within the Human-led Empire, within Glory City. In this Empire in which Magic is policed and its use is regulated, Mages are required to have a licence in order to practice Magic. The Magically inclined, Non-Human Races that have lived under Human rule lived a markedly different life to Humans, which had led to a somewhat contentious relationship. A law enforcement agency known as The Order is responsible for maintaining Magical order, and is also responsible for doling out justice to those who break the law. Consisting of the Magic using Mages, and the more technologically inclined Knights, these Agents are regarded as protectors by some, but as oppressors by many. The tale follows the exploits of Izano Zuko, a mysterious man, covered from head to toe in burn scars and wrapped in bandages. He arrives in Glory City with the backing of the City Lord, unknown abilities and secret intentions. Trouble starts up almost as soon as he arrives, and Zuko is thrown into a conflict between the Order and an unknown enemy. This is a complete book, and I plan to upload a chapter every week or so. No cover as yet.
