"Umumu.... The all stat increase umumu..."
"Ah? Locked?...... What does that mean??"
"Hmm? Ah? My rank also turned grey. Wait... Was there a grey rank?"
With the increase and the addition of new stats. The changes were immediately noticed by Lilia.
"Sys, what does the 'locked' mean. Also my color change to grey. Why is that?"
"You're level is to low host. You also don't have the required minimum to use the said stats."
"I see... My level is to low huh. I suppose I need to grab as much experience then instead of continuously getting stats."
"Ah, wait. What do you mean required minimum?"

As Lilia was conversing with the system, the atmosphere within the auditorium immediately lowered.
With Lilia's heightened senses, she immediately felt the change and became alert.
The class on the other hand, started sweating.
"Hiss..."
"The professor..."
"It's happening again..."
Hearing the remarks of the other students, Lilia then looked at her current professor.
As she faced her, she immediately felt chills.
"Sy-system..."
"Is...is she like me..."
"No host. This is what we call experienced intimidation."
"Wha-what is that??"
"I have no clue myself host. I just got the terminology from one of the students here."
Prof. Shella's current expression was that of, a big boss of some mafia group. The only difference is that it's female.
Smiling coldly, straight pose, looking straight at her target.
That was what her body language and expression looked like.
"Ms. Evergreen."
"It seems that you have studied well."
"So, shall we continue?"
*Gulp*
"Ye-yes..." Said Lilia who's currently sweating profusely. As that's what she thinks her current condition is.
Prof. Shella then faced the whole class.
"As modern as we are, I'm pretty sure that some of you here in class have been on Skylink (this world's internet) a lot."
"And even though I know that most of you wouldn't even care, I'm pretty sure that most of you saw an article concerning about the certain magnetic spikes happening on the world."
"Now, to those that saw this article, raise your hand."
"....."
No one raised.
"And if no one raises their hand, I'll call willingly."
A couple of students then raised their hands, their expressions seems like their crying though.
"Damn me!! Why do I have to read that article!!" Was their thoughts.
"Alright then. Seeing that there's only a couple of you that read it. Then if you could answer my questions, you'll be exempted from this week's quizzes."

After Prof. Shella said this, the ones that read the article immediately had their expressions exchange from crying to pure determination.
No quizzes for a week!
To those that norms her class, they know that Prof. Shella loves to do exams and quizzes.
Moreover, there is one character trait that Prof. Shella is known to have. And that is that she never goes down on her word.
If she declares and promises it, she will do it!
As this happened, those that didn't read the article on the other hand, well looked regretful.
Damn me! Not being interested in the things of the world!! Was their thoughts.
Not minding the determined faces of those that raised their hands, Prof. Shella then started to talk about the article.
"On the article, it was found that magnetic spikes would appear at certain places at certain times."
"Using the compass, scanners, or readers. Researchers have found out that this magnetic spikes have been happening everywhere."
"And it was even concluded that this magnetic spikes have been happening even in history."
"Now, on the article, if you, those that raised their hands, truly read it attentively, where did they found and detected this spikes."
"Professor!"
A group of students from the couple of students, immediately raised their hands.
Choosing one student out of the group, that student then answered.
"On the article, it was stated, that the magnetic spikes would frequently happen at the center city squares, parks, subways, countrysides, borders, oceans, military bases, and even densely populated areas."
"Good. You're now exempted from quizzes for a week. Sit down."
"Second."
"How was it known that there seems to be some disturbances in these areas?"
The second volley of raised hands the came.
After choosing one from the group, that student then answered.
"It became known that these areas had magnetic spikes due to these areas having some sort of wind compression happening on the area. The areas that are in land seems to have a horizontal tornado that doesn't have an end, or so was it described, while those in the water seemed to have mini whirlpools."
"Good. You're exempted"
That student made a victory pose.
"Third."
"For further research, experts have suggested to check the areas based on satellite imagery. Turned it up to thermal, turned up 3d scanners and some sensors, and well, they seemed to have found something interesting."
What's projected on the screen currently, was then changed into their world's map.
The map itself had red marks, and these marks was plastered throughout the whole map.
"I know that we have stammered out of our original topic but it has some of that here."
"What you are seeing now, are the areas where these disturbances are happening."
"It has been found that these areas have more gravity than anywhere else. Basically somewhere around 0.2 to 0.8 increase."
"The thing is, is that it seems to differ to different areas. Areas that doesn't seem to have deeper increases in gravity suddenly increases and then disappear."
"They have also done the calculus for this, and well, it ended in random numbers."
"Ms. Evergreen then, do you have any suggested theories for this?"
*Gulp*

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
