Colis

Chapter 4: When life gives you lemons...



Today was a good day, yesterday day as well, but today we finally had a chat with my wife. It has been seven months since our arrival to this world. As for yesterday, both of my daughters gained their first skill.

I have been working a a janitor in a school, sometimes helping in the kitchen or as a guard/caretaker due to my qualifications. I used to work as apprentice with the sheriff.

Daughters have been taken care of by house robot, yeah more stuff from fifty years in the future. At least it puts my mind at ease of something bad happening while I work.

Otherwise nothing much happened, tried to look into this world but there does not seem to be anything special about ti. Not that there are many methods. Internet is still developing, sadly for our Ultra powerful PC from 2025, it got to collect dust for few more years.

Had time to look in the system, even got to level 4.

Status only shows name and numerical value for three parameters of mind, body and soul. Those numbers do not show power of one self but their potential. Each time someone levels up thay can get a point to increase a value.

For a average human it would be 3 in all stats. For ones who did train and learn more advance stuff it can go to 4 and ones who specialise in certain fields, it can go all the way to 5.

As for me, body and soul have 4, as for mind, it is at 3. Ana says to have all three value at 4. It's to early to ask twins for their. Limit of a normal human should be 5, but thanks to levels we can place points and increase it above the limit.

Wolf did recommend to train and learn till all stats are at 5 and not use points. Also to keep it balanced or as close to it with no more then 20 points of difference of highest and lowest value.

We should get 100 points for leveling and 100 more from job class, only difference ones from leveling can be used freely and the job class will be fixed.

For better or worse, we do not have exp. in traditional way. This is where next part comes in. The skills. Got few important things to say about 'em.

Skills are separated in three groups:

- Common skills

- Job/Sub-job class skills

- Unique skill

Interesting thing about common skills, unlike other two, is that we can share them. As long one person with Colis, as my wife calls the system, gets a common skill, all others get it as well, but one who got it is the only one who can improve it.

Speaking of witch, all skills, other then Unique, can be categorised by mastery. It is divided in basic, intermediate, high, advance and master skill. This corresponds to each common skill giving up to 5 levels, with total of twenty. In the end, looking that common skills are shared, each one of us is going to have ninety one skill at max level.

To get one skill, person needs to focus on doing a 'thing', like the 'thing', understand the 'thing' and so on... to obtain skill related to the 'thing'.

That is just how I see it at least, and reason why it took so long for Mia and Nia to get first skill. To young, easily gets distracted, still developing cognitive abilities, easily gets emotional and other reasons. By the way, unlike stats, I can know what skills they got as I got them too... not to forget my wife's skills as well. She is level 3 now.

Job and sub job on the other hand are not part of normal leveling. Though they have their own levels, going up to level 10, and give fixed stat points. Job class will give four skills and four stat points, while first sub job will give three skills and three stat points, second will give two and third only one .

Right now, there is not much information on Unique skill. My guess is that it is a strong, game changing skill, probably based on us. Our emotions, thinking, likes, dislikes, personality, talent and many other.

Well that info dump is finally out of the way, as for what we talked toady with Ana, well, I'll leave it to her. She is writing this as well, even got us a signature pokémon and evolved 'em. I should give a call to add her stats on the end, so we can see our progress over time.
