《The Red Saint》Chapter 1: Getting Started
Advertisement
After walked passed the portal, Gabriel blinked a little before he able to see his surroundings, Gabriel only able to see a tree everywhere. After looking around for a minute, Gabriel then began to check the item that God promises him.
"Inventory"
As he said that a little portal appears in front of him that he guesses are the Inventory as his hand goes through the small portal, he then knows the items inside the inventory automatically.
After a few seconds of trying to grab something, Gabriel then began to think about a different way to reach his item from the inventory. He then began to think about the thing he wants to take out, as he was thinking about the thing he wants Gabriel then feel something inside his hand, He then takes out his hand and opens his palm and sees his ID.
"Name: Gabriel, Birth: Ironpeak City District 1, Age: 16. Look like I don't have any Surname anymore, which is a shame. Can I get my surname in this world? Or is it just for a noble house? I need to find out."
Gabriel was then checking the money God him. As he takes it, he got himself five gold coins from the inventory. He then checks the food, which is consisting of dry meat and a bunch of bread, and Gabriel takes out the last item inside his inventory, which is a letter that read.
"Dear Gabriel
It is me, God. I forgot to explain the currency in this world, Lenora has four kinds of coin. Bronze coin, Silver coin, Gold Coin, and Purple coin. A silver coin worth 100 Bronze coins, a Gold coin worth 1000 Silver coins, and a Purple coin worth 10.000 Gold coins. The money that I give you will last for two months if you use it wisely without getting work. Lastly, please check your Status because I give you a free Stats point for a starter.
Signed
God "
After reading it, the letter then gets burned to ash that makes him shocked a little bit, but after a few seconds, Gabriel then began to look at his status.
"Status"
~ LVL: 1 ~
~ HP: 100 ~
~ MP: 100 ~
~ HP/Regen: 1/min ~
~ MP/Regen: 1/min ~

~ STR: 10 ~
~ VIT: 10 ~
~ AGI: 10 ~
~ INT: 10 ~
~ WIS:10 ~
~ LCK: 10 ~
~ Stats Point (SP): 5 ~
After looking at his status another window popup explaining the stats he has.
STR is Physical Damage he able deal toward his enemy
VIT is his Health Regen and Defence
AGI is his movement speed and reaction time
INT is Magic Damage he able to deal toward his enemy
WIS is his Mana Regen and Mana Reduction
LCK is his Luck
He able to add Stats point to that primary stat plus HP and MP, which sucks because he needs all his SP for his HP and MP or at least gets better gear that has an HP bonus or MP bonus. After thinking for a second, Gabriel then allocates his SP to his STR (1), VIT (2), and AGI (2). He chooses these three because, at his current state, he doesn't need Magic attack, seeing that all his Magic is a healing kind of magic.
After he finishes spending all his SP, another Screen appears before him showing something that surprises him.
~ QUEST: FIRST LEVEL UP(Beginner Unique) ~
~ Time: 3 hours ~
~ Level up before the time run out ~
~ Reward: Saint Robe (Soul Bound), Observe Skill ~
"A quest? Beginner Unique? the quest is quite easy, but the reward is really good... is it quest that God made just for me?"
Seeing that he will not get any answer, Gabriel, then began to hunt his first monster. At first, he activated his Divine territory; he then feels an invisible dome that spread out for 30 meters around him. After a few seconds, he then able to feel everything inside his Divine Territories. He then feels a dark presence inside his Territory. Without thinking, he began to command his ability to purify the dark presence after a few seconds. He then got notification from the system.
Gabriel, who wants to check the notification, began to fall to the ground and gasping air as if he was a fish out of the water. He stays on the ground for a minute before he was able to sit down but still has a tired expression.
"Status"
Gabriel said it with a weak voice as the status screen appears before him showing his status.

~ LVL: 1 ~
~ HP: 100 ~
~ MP: 1 ~
Gabriel, who sees his MP only able to stare at it with shocked expression before he said.
"I'm an Idiot. I don't think that my skill needs MP to use it. I'm fortunate that I don't die because of my idiocy."
He then began to check his skill and began to read all of it to prevent any Mana exhaustion again.
~ Divine Territory ~
Create Territory: The more significant Territory, the more it consumes Mana (1 MP/Meter)
*Other Abilities use a variable amount of mana*
After reading it, he then realized that he used his Divine Territory without knowing how many mana he uses. When he uses a purify earlier, he commands his ability to obliterate his target, and his power complied then use all his remain MP to kill the enemy.
He then waited for 20 minutes before he began to try to kill another monster again, but this time he uses his Weapon Manipulation. Gabriel then creates a Long Sword from the film he once sees from his previous life. The blade is made up of rare steel that unique from the film. The sword that made up of this steel will never be rusted and always sharp without honing it even once.
The most important thing is that this Sword only needs 5 MP to create after finished preparing; he then began to create his Divine Territory once more, but this time only 10 meters around him and leaving him with 5 MP left.
After the dome appears he then began to feel another monster inside it, Gabriel then walked toward the Monster that has the shape of a wolf, but the wolf has a shadow around it and a horn on top of its head.
He then walked slowly toward the wolf before a jump and killed it with a single slash from his sword.
After killing the monster, he then got another notification, this time though it was not a notification saying that his MP is in critical condition but notify him that he is level up after killing the Wolf.
"Now, let see, Status."
~ LVL: 2 ~
~ HP: 100 ~
~ MP: 100 ~
~ HP/Regen: 1/min ~
~ MP/Regen: 1/min ~
~ STR: 11 ~
~ VIT: 12 ~
~ AGI: 12 ~
~ INT: 10 ~
~ WIS:10 ~
~ LCK: 10 ~
~ Stats Point (SP): 5 ~
Seeing that his MP get restored after leveling up, he then let out a relieved breath. He then began to assign his SP to his HP (2), WIS (1), and VIT (2). Gabriel later learned that assign 1 SP to his stats is equal of 100 HP, so that leaves his HP at 300, making him feel a little bit safe.
He then opens his Inventory to take his reward, The Saint Robe. He then looks toward the robe that God give him as a reward. The robe has a large hood and a scarf that covered the lower half of his face. The robe was alabaster white and had a medic's red cross on the chest and the back.

After reading all the item descriptions, Gabriel then began to equip the Robe while he creates a sheath for his sword and hangs up his sword around his waist. Gabriel then walked toward the nearest river. As he arrives at the river, he then looks at his reflection of his face. The reflection then shows his face that has a round head with a long silky black hair and his mother, Brown Eyes. Seeing his reflection, he becomes sad a little as he leaves behind all his late parent possession that has many beautiful memories of his parents, but at the same time, he grateful for God that giving him a second chance.
Gabriel then washes his dirty face before he began to get up and ready to go to the nearest Town and began his Adventure.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.
