Using Strings for the Marionette is beyond confusing. I don't really understand how to control him properly, but I guess it seems to be working. Currently, I'm most likely going to use Tep as a close range fighter due to the fact that me and Aly physically cannot go upfront, due to Aly being a oneshot hit, and she hasn't even gotten her evolution yet, although I believe she's very close. And for my Marionette to be in full effect, right now I need to concentrate to use the strings properly and control his movement semi-swiftly, I'm still Level 10 and Aly is still Level 9. Tem is currently Level Five, only gained one level since my evolution.

Looking at Teps character sheet, I'm pretty happy with it since he's able to hold up quite well in this tough area despite his level, although if Aly wasn't here it would be hard for him and I to do anything, God knows why Aly was deemed to be Red, she seems pretty good to me.

"Good Job Aly" Eloxus stated whilst cracking a smile. Although Aly has no feelings past being friends, she couldn't help but smile. It was a nice change of pace seeing something different she thought.

We encountered a [Venemous Snake]. For once it wasn't Level 15, it was Level 16, which we've encountered a few times, but it was quite a rare occurence if anything. Because of the [String Mastery], I can now order Tep around in my mind, and my hands move accordingly. However, some orders are hard to execute if I'm not in enough range, so I'm on my up on my toes, although I think I prefer this instead of hands on combat, I don't think it really suits me. As Tep charged in, Aly followed suit like always, Tem would be the tank almost, and Aly would attack from either side, or behind. It was great, Aly has gotten used to having the Tep around and adapted faster than I thought she would.

It finally happened.

[Venemous Snake] has been defeated!

[350 Experience Points have been shared equally among the Party!]

[Aly] is now Level 10

[Tep] is now Level Six.

"Good luck Aly".

[Evolution is now possible]

[Here are the lists of species which mesh with your character]

Finally. I'm catching up, and it's about time! It's been a few hours since Eloxus's evolution, and I'm quite jealous.

[Calypso is expecting good results]

Of course she is, ever since she showed her appearance she sends random messages here and there, and it's completely random, and out of the blue. Anyways, time for the Evolutions.

[Powrie ] Unique

+25 Agility

[The System has determined that this is a special type of Dwarf, not an ordinary one].

Dwarves are usually muscular, short species who excel in mining and blacksmith. However, there has been known to be a few outliers in these regards, as Dwarves developed, many of their tribe members were giving birth to children who lacked Vitality, Strength and Endurance. These Dwarves were then trained in assassinations and general swiftness, these have adapted into their own tribe called 'Powries'. Unfortunately, not many people are able to come across Powries, as it requires you to only have 1 Vitality, which is extremely rare, and people who only have 1 Vitality don't usually live long enough to show their potential, making it hard for the Powrie tribes to stand out, in which led to pretty much extinction.

[Because of your Red talent, you are uneligible for any other Species].

I couldn't even scroll down, I only had access to the Powrie. However, a Unique class, this could also be seen as a blessing. I don't know the rating system but it has be good right? Well, I hope so.

[Congratulations on becoming a Powrie! Please select your class].

[Assassin] Common

Excelling in Agility, you're fast and excel in quick and easy kills, as extended fights are hard due to your lack of Stamina, Strength and Vitality. Naturally, Assassins tend to handle a short dagger, although there are many cases in which duel wielding two daggers as an assassin also works. The Class will be accompanied by a Wooden Dagger, however you are eligible for Dual-Wielding, therefore two will be granted.

[Wooden Dagger] x2

5+ Strength

[Because of your Red Talent, you are uneligible for any other Classes]

[Your Class is now Assassin!]

[Due to your past fights, you have always fought with two fists, therefore you are eligible for Dual-Wielding].

[Dual-Wielding Proficiency] - Beginner Level One.

[Pin Point] - Beginner Level One (Class Skill)

Weak points will be highlighted. As the skill levels up it is more accurate and may show multiple points.

[Propel] - Beginner Level One (Species Skill)

Anything you bounce off with your feet excels you forward at almost twice the speed. As the skill levels up the speed increases, which a side effect of this is that it becomes increasingly hard to control.

I couldn't even look at the Notifications properly without feeling funny. I had a tingling feeling everywhere, I wasn't against the feeling, but it wasn't exactly pleasant either. It was kind of just, there. I felt like I shrunk a tad bit but I didn't, I was still stuck at the disgustingly short height, and with Eloxus being an Elf now, it would only make it seem worse than it actually is.

[Aly] Level Ten

[Species] Powrie

[Class] Assassin

[Instrument] Calypso will summon you to her in ten minutes.

[Unspent Points] 5

I looked at my Character Sheet in sheer awe. I've come along way, at the beginning I was petrified, I could only hug my bear whilst the pretty woman explained the rules, I bawled. However, a week in, and I'm alive - somehow. Actually, not somehow, Eloxus. He helped me a lot in this world and showed me how to adapt, even to the point where I have a Unique Species.

I skimmed over the details once again, only to realise I missed the important part, Instruments.

Bamf

"Hello Aly, thank you for coming to visit me." Calypso said whilst her mouth curled up.

"H-hi". Aly stuttered, I mean who could blame her? She was met with this tall, woman who had dark skin, with a black cloak covering the majority of the her body, except her face. Her pupils were red, not a bright red like I were during my Lesser Being days, a crimson red.

"I'm going to cut to the chase" Calipso started speaking whilst walking up to Aly

"You have a Unique Species, which was completely unexpected, however your Class is bottom barrel dogshit". Calipso sort of giggled to herself, yet it sounded like a sigh.

"I'm willing to give you my help, I will turn you into an Instrument, however you have to return the favour by doing well in this game, and surviving. Once a week I will teleport you here for an hour to train before your next Class Advancement. You have 3 minutes to think of an answer". Calipso slowly walked forward,then Aly blinked and Calipso was right infront of her. Their size difference was huge.

"Yes, your Species goes hand in hand for what I'm planning".

I needed to think - fast. I want to be an Instrument, but what happens after the game? It doesn't matter. I need to be stronger, I need to be useful for Eluxo so I won't get abandoned.

"I'll become your Instrument". Aly's voice was shaky, yet her amethyst eyes were filled with determination.

[Celestial Calipso has sent you an invitation to be her Instrument]

[You have accepeted her invitation].

"Congratulations". Calipso sneered.
