Rain had already thought of this long ago.

TouchMeNot!

Ding!

- The name you selected is already in use!

Hearing this, Rain couldn’t help but clenched his fists tightly, saying: “What in the world, such a weird name and it’s already taken!”

It’s fine, I thought of a backup name just in case something like this happened.

HugMePlease!

Ding!

- The name you selected is already in use!

WTF!

Again a system notice, Rain’s heart almost shattered into pieces, this is too hard, and all the names he wanted are taken!

DeathBone!

- I’m sorry, that name is already taken!

“…”

When the notice prompted, Rain was a little surprised. This one too?!

Continuing on, Rain let out another yet another name. This time, he made it less cool-sounding and more native.

“T-Then … Lagim.”

- Successfully created character name. The character [ Lagim ] has been created.

- Wow… what a domineering name, [ Lagim ], I like your name.

Taking a long breath, Rain couldn’t help but subconsciously wipe his forehead. He didn’t think coming up with a name would be such a tedious process.

Oh, finally. I managed to select a name, who cares about anything else?

- Naming is a success! You can now view your basic stats!

Open Status Window!

[Lagim]

Level: 0

Class: Mage

Strength: 6

Stamina: 5 +10

Agility: 7

Mana: 12

Stat Points: 5 Skill Points: 1

Magic: Fire: Lv0 Water: Lv0 Earth: Lv0 Wind: Lv0

- Aliguyon’s Battle Endurance (Passive) Lv0 0/100%

“Phew…”

Looking at his stats, Rain breathes a sigh a relief.

In [ Philippine Lore ] the maximum points a stat could have in the beginning was 5, and he was lucky enough to get 6 points in strength and 7 in agility.

Although these stats were determined by the player’s own physical condition, the rest was random.

As for mana, he got 12 points because of the class bonus which was 5 points. And thus, his normal mana points should’ve been originally 7 points.

Warriors had 5 points bonus in [ Strength ]. Knights in [ Stamina ]. Rogue and Archer in [ Agility ] and Mage, Priest and Beast Tamer in [ Mana ].

These were the base stats for every player in the beginning of the game. Furthermore, at Level 0, the system gives you five stat points and one skill point.

Rain took a glance at his status window.

Not bad. A little bit above in average~

Although he smiled faintly, Rain did not become compliant even the slightest.

- [ Lagim ] was successfully named. Then, next up is the initial stats choice.”

After the AI’s voice, a wide stat page floated in front of Rain’s eyes; on top were listed strength, stamina, agility, and mana these four options.

- Each player has 5 initial stat points, they can freely distribute them to strength, stamina, agility, mana these four basic stats.

Within, strength affects physical attack strength, stamina affect vitality and defense ability, agility affects speed, hit rate and dodge, along with bow, pierce related class’s attack strength, mana affects magic attack strength and use of spells.

Each attribute has different influences towards different classes. Please choose wisely according to the path that you wish for your class to go.

5 initial stat points, which also mean that there are only 5 points that can be freely distributed.

Standing in front of the stat page, Rain thought for a long time, taking a step forward, increasing strength to 3, 1 in agility and mana. Stamina remained at 5.

In most games, especially [ Philippine Lore ], the class he picked was a powerful class however it had the lowest defense compared to the other classes.

Mage’s have what could be said as the strongest AOE battle strength; they can take several lives in an instant without leaving a trace. But the flaws of the mages are also very evident… That is their weak vitality, physical attack and defense.

But this evaluation is for normal mages.

With his newly acquired inherited skill; [ Aliguyon’s Battle endurance ], he couldn’t be compared to an ordinary mage player.

Because of this, he had finally decided the path he was going to!

That’s right; this is will be my original fighting style. I’ll fight the world with my ability as a mage and my strength as a warrior.

I will become a Battle Mage!

This is the true way to success!

As for the skill point, he put it on the Fire magic without hesitation.

As a mage, Rain could cast magic. However, his Fire and other elemental magic was still only Lv0 and could only summon basic spells.

Fire Lv0; Little Fireball Consumption: Mana: 2

Fire Lv0 can cast a small fireball with the size of a baseball. Can I even cook a fried chicken with that? Seriously...

Water Lv0 can summon a ball of water the size of a baseball with the same mana consumption.

Uh, yeah, for drinking purposes … maybe?

Wind Lv0 can summon a light breeze.

Yeah nice, summer is freaking hot. This can help you relax at all~

Earth Lv0 can turn the earth into mud. Circumference: 1 meter.

Mud wash?!

This magic spells all had the same mana consumption which only required 2 mana points.

Because of this pitiful initial spells, Rain had no choice but to invest the remaining 1 skill point into his Fire magic upgrading it to Lv1.

As for his inherited skill; [ Aliguyon Battle Endurance ], it doesn’t seemed to have a need to level up at this moment.

[ Aliguyon’s Battle Endurance ] Unique Skill; Lv0 0/100%

A skill owned by the Hero of the Ifugao, Aliguyon. He was once known for his great endurance and invincibility in battle.

Effects:

The damage received during battles with be reduced by 5%.

Give additional 10 points in stamina.

- Initial stats successfully distributed. Next up is the pain reception rate option.

The pain reception rate, is the amount if pain felt when a player is hurt in combat.

Pay attention, it is only in combat, non-combat related bodily or physical contact will not be affected, and will only affect pain reception, no other senses will be affected.

The choices for the pain reception rate ranges from 10% – 100%. High numbers are suitable for players looking for excitement and realism, but when attacked it will really hurt a lot, so please be warned, those afraid of pain shouldn’t pick it.

Low ranges can reduce the pain to very low, but there are also disadvantages from it. Such as when being attack they will be unable to perform quick reactions, what is your choice?

“10%.” Rain replied without any hesitation, he was entering the game to seek enjoyment, not to suffer, only someone sick in the head would pick a high pain reception, and then torture themselves to death in a game world of fighting and killing.

- As for the last part of the registration. Which part of the Philippines would you like to begin?

- Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao. Well, No matter which place you select, all the choices were similar. Filipinos are generous and hospitable~

“Visayas.”

Visayan Islands, also called Visayas or Bisayas.

A collection of islands large and small in the central Philippines, and was considered to be the cradle of the country.

In reality, the Visayan group consists of seven large and several hundred smaller islands clustered around the Visayan, Samar, and Camotes seas.

The seven main islands are Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Masbate, Negros, Panay, and Samar. These islands and their smaller neighbors make up the central group of the Philippine archipelago.

High mountains characterize most of the Visayan Islands with the exception of Samar and Masbate, which are exceedingly hilly.

As for why Rain choose to start in Visayas …

There were two reasons.

First is because this was his hometown. He was living here and he loves this place very much.

The second reason was that of historical value. First of all, it was here that Ferdinand Magellan laid a sovereign hand on the archipelago for Spain and began the process of colonization and Catholicization that shaped so much of the nation’s history.

The islands were also the scene of some of the bloodiest battles fought against the Japanese during World War II, and where General Douglas MacArthur waded ashore to liberate the country after his famous promise, “I shall return”.

And thus, for Rain it could be seen as one of the very important part of the Philippine history.

- If you would like a more detailed explanation about the place...

"No need."

All game have similar introduction such as this.

In the beginning stages actual knowledge about the game doesn't help much.

Besides, Rain had already learned enough information about the game from the official website.

Above all, experience was the best type of knowledge.

After canceling the tutorial, Rain was enveloped in a bright light.

- Do you want to enter the game world immediately?

“Yes!”

- Well then, Hero Lagim, please be careful on your journey and hope that we meet again in the near future.

Shua!

A flash of light blinded Rain as he was enveloped by the golden light.

At the same time his characters eyes moved and he was absorbed within it.

The novice adventurer, Lagim was born.
