《New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]》[Bonus Episode] - a Little Bit About Skills
Advertisement
As per poll results, this will be the first ‘meta’ topic I’ll be covering.
There are 2 types of skills.
[Ac]
Active
Need the user to willingly trigger them. Consume MP.
[Pa]
Passive
Activate when certain outside conditions are met, or are always active. Do not consume MP.
MP refers to Magic Power. In this universe, ‘magic’ and ‘skill-induced’ are synonyms and are used interchangeably by most.
There are 3 categories of skills.
High-level
From S+ to A-
Mid-level
From B+ to C-
Low-level
D+ and below
Everyone is born with hundreds of skills, but most of them will not raise above F (the lowest level) throughout the lifetime of the user. These “ulta-low” skills will still be possible to use though, but only with outside assistance (like magic artefacts).
D is the average level one person can achieve by working hard, or with some special training. To raise a skill higher, the user needs to either really specialize in it, or, more likely, be born with it.
Here is a list of all the skills that have been used and/or mentioned in the series so far:

The Prince of Cats
To stay alive, Jawad must succeed where all others have failed: he must catch the Prince of Cats. More legend than man, the Prince is draped in rumours. He can steal the silver teeth from your mouth in the blink of a smile. He is a ghost to walls and vaults, he laughs at locks, and Jawad must capture him before powerful people lose their patience and send the young rogue to the scaffold.Ever the opportunist, Jawad begins his hunt while carrying out his own schemes. He pits the factions of the city against each other, lining his own pockets in the process and using the Prince as a scapegoat. This is made easy as nobody knows when or where the Prince will strike, or even why.As plots collide, Jawad finds himself pressured from all sides. Aristocrats, cutthroats, and the Prince himself is breathing down his neck. Unless Jawad wants a knife in his back or an appointment with the executioner, he must answer three questions: Who is the Prince of Cats, what is his true purpose, and how can he be stopped? The Prince of Cats is set in the same world as my other fiction, The Eagle's Flight, but the two stories are not connected. The full story has been uploaded. Information and a map of the city can be found here. There is also an interactive storybook app inspired by The Prince of Cats. The full story can be played for free. Download for Android or for iPhone.
