0.46% Extra's Descent / Power System I guess

Power System I guess

The whole chapter will be divided into various segments for you all to understand.

Full credit to: Tsukasa0

THERE WILL BE MAJOR SPOILERS SO READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!

The Segments:

–Before Turning Point (Before Chapter 150)

-After Turning Point (After Chapter 150)

Let's start then. Again, a major spoiler warning for you all.

Especially in the second segment (After Turning Point)

BEFORE TURNING POINT:

To start, there are two types of factions in the world: The Mages and Duelists.

The Mages: Of course, are the people who can use magic.

The Duelists: The people who fight with weapons and can use magic but it's on a weaker level as compared to Mages.

This is because the mana in their bodies is tightly clung to their skin, as compared to Mages who can shoot it out.

This is also why their output magic is weaker but their bodies are much tougher as compared to Mages.

Let's start with Mages.

A mage, usually, has only one single affinity.

It can be Lightning, Ice, Fire, etc. They can use mana and form such elements to battle or do other things.

But, some rare people can use two elements as well.

Such people are called Deviants.

They can use two elements. Like an Ice-Lightning pair and such.

Then there are even rarer like very very rare people with three elements.

Such people are called Tri-elemental Mages.

(Spoiler Warning: In the early chapters, the first tri-elemental mage you will see is Brandon, who in actuality is a Penta-Elemental Mage but since only three are shown to the world at that point, he's considered a Tri Elemental.)

(Spoiler Warning: One more Important Thing I want you all to know is that for Brandon all of his elements come under one skill, [Elemental Manipulation]. They are not separate elements. Remember this as it's important information.)

This is almost all the basic knowledge you will need in those early chapters.

But since it all works a little differently for the Main Character Brandon and the Original Main Character Raven, let's move on to the system aspect now.

[System Shop] 

[System Coins: 100] 

[Quests Available: 0] 

—————————————

(Reference and Spoiler Warning: This is his System Window from Chapter 14 of Extra's Descent)

The way this system works is this.

You have Levels. To level up, you need Experience or as written here, EXP.

The way to gain EXP is through the System Quests he gets which can be seen in the bottom-most bar [Quests Available].

For each Level, Brandon obtains STAT POINTS and some other gifts that are only given in the early chapters so I won't explain them.

They are also pretty self-explanatory so there won't be much of a problem but if you have any questions, just comment on this chapter and I'll answer them.

Anyways, let's move back to the STAT POINTS.

These points, as you can guess from the name, are points that he can infuse into his specific stats, which we will get into in just a bit.

Now, we will see the Passive Skills.

As indicated by the name, these are normal status skills and are mostly always active.

The first skill, is Skill Weaver.

As explained in the window, it allows Brandon to make any skill that he wants.

However, to make that specific skill, he must have the required amount of mana and imagination for it.

There's also a specific amount of skills he can make with it as shown in the window. [Total Skills 2/2]

The [Skill Tab] is the tab where his made skills are stored.

(Spoiler Warning: Elemental Manipulation is one of the skills by the way and as I said before, even though there are multiple elements, it's registered as one skill.)

The amount of skills he can make with the Skill Weaver increases with every level he obtains. Keep that in mind.

Then, we have finally Stats.

Stats are basically aspects of his body, both physical and mental that attribute to his strength and are in some way related to mana. (Apology for the nerdy definition)

First tab, is [Stat Points Available] and as explained before, the points he has acquired from the quests that can be infused into the stats are shown here.

Let's see the stats now.

First, let me explain what all of them mean.

STR: Obviously, Physical Strength.

AGI: Physical Agility.

DEF: Physical Defense.

MP: Mana Points (Mana Capacity in other words)

INT: Mana Power (Also Quality in a sense)

CHA: Charisma.

 

Now to the Status bar.

Each Stat, as you can see, has a bar in front of it. (Example: [●○○○○] )

To explain, this bar indicates his progress in the rank of that specific stat.

In simpler words, let's take a stat from the system screen.

Let's do STR.

So, in the status screen, the current progress of it is STR: F [●○○○○] )

From the F, you can see that his Strength is F-ranked.

And the small circles, show his progress in that rank. And since only one circle is filled, it shows that he has just started out in the respective state.

But, if Brandon inputs one Stat Point obtained from a quest into this, one more circle fills up and he will gain progress in that respective stat.

In the case of STR, it will go from STR: F [●○○○○] to STR: F [●●○○○]

Now, we have two circles filled, which means an increase in Brandon's physical strength.

Once this bar is completely filled, the rank (F as shown in the example) will gain a rank up.

In the case of the above example, F will turn to E. Making Brandon's Strength equal to the Average Strength of an E-ranked person.

Everything that's explained above applies to all other stats by the way.

So I think that's all of the stats.

The last thing we have in this system segment is, the [System Shop].

The tab below that, you can see [System Coins].

These are coins that Brandon obtains after accomplishing a quest.

The same coins, he can use in the [System Shop] and obtain various things ( I won't spoil it for you all).

And this is it for the Before Turning Point Segment I think.

The After Turning Point Segment will be updated later.

Chapter 1: Prologue: Tragedy

A boy with bright-blonde hair, and black eyes, adorning a high-school male uniform, was riding the bus on the way home from school.

Since his home was way out in the rural area of town, the trip would last for a long while.

Having nothing to do, he retrieved his phone from his pocket, and decided to do the thing he loved the most.

Reading.

A web novel platform filled the screen of his phone.

As he checked his library, he noticed that the novel he'd put on hold had just been updated once again.

[Path To Ascension.]

[Author: athex]

[CHAPTERS: 4,291]

[STATUS: COMPLETED]

'Ah, so it's finally completed?'

Path to Ascension, a novel he'd been following since the start of his high-school days.

He had caught up to it a few months ago, and decided to stockpile at least 400 chapters.

'Wait, what happened in the last chapter again?'

Due to stockpiling, he'd forgotten the details of the last chapter.

No, it wasn't just the last chapter.

Since the novel had been running for a long time, he could only vividly remember the plotline of the earlier chapters.

'Should I just reread it again? I have nothing better to do anyway.'

With average grades and near to zero social life. Besides games, web novels were his only form of entertainment.

After pondering for a while, he decided to scroll down until he reached the first chapter.

Tap-

After clicking the first chapter, something peculiar caught his attention.

'Huh?'

For some reason the first chapter was blank, as if nothing had ever been written there in the first place.

'Surely, this is only for the first chapter right?'

Tapping on his screen once again, he opted for the next chapter.

But it was blank as well.

'Is this a bug? Or did the Author decide to delete the chapters?'

He tapped the screen again and clicked the third chapter.

Once again it was blank.

He did this repeatedly until he reached the 20th chapter.

'Haa… what a shame.'

He could only let out an exasperated sigh at the bizarre situation.

'I guess I just have to continue from where I left off.'

Having decided, the boy clicked the continue button instead.

However…

It brought him back to the 20th chapter, the chapter he last opened.

'Right, it was overwritten since I opened a different chapter.'

Frustrated, the boy placed his phone back in his pocket.

But then…

The bus suddenly shook.

"What's going on?!"

"What is the driver doing?!"

Gasps and screams were audible from the other passengers, which were also students.

The boy was no exception to the fear, as his body trembled, fearing for the worse to come.

"Everyone! The driver has fallen asleep!"

A student with brown hair and a bulky frame spoke up, it seemed like he approached the driver just as the bus began to shake.

Rumble!

The bus continued to shake intensely, and since they were all highschool students, there wasn't anyone present who knew how to drive.

"Ahh! Are we going to die?!"

"Someone, wake up the driver!"

The student with the bulky frame did just that, as he slapped the driver continuously.

But it was futile…

The student suddenly spoke up in an urgent tone,

"He's passed out, his complexions are pale, most likely from anemia…"

"What are we going to do?!" A female student said, as she stood up.

Noticing the fear in her tone, the boy with the bulky frame responded,

"There's only one thing we can do, jump off the bus."

"But at the speed we're going, we'll most likely die!" The female student responded.

"I'll step on the break to get the bus to stop, we'll all jump after that, okay?"

The students seemed reluctant at first, but they all stood up after a while, forming a line of crowd.

The boy with bright-blonde hair was no exception to this, as he stood up as well.

Thud!

The bulky-framed student stepped on the break as hard as he could.

Eeeeek-

The bus let out a screeching sound as the speed it was going gradually descended.

However…

Boom!

The bus crashed towards the iron fence, as half of it peaked out and bended towards the cliff.

Fortunately, the bus didn't fall off the cliff.

Bang!

The bulky-framed boy kicked the bus door rigorously.

Bang!

Again...

Bang!

And again...

Bang!

Until it finally broke open.

"Everyone, follow my lead!"

The students nodded in response.

The bulky-framed boy grabbed the driver and jumped out first, since he was the one nearest to the exit.

He was then followed by a female student, and then another student, until almost half had finally gotten out.

The blonde-haired boy was about to reach the exit, but he was suddenly pushed down, due to the amount of crowd that formed a line.

Thud! Step!

The students trampled over the boy without any consideration, in a matter akin to a stampede.

"Hurry! The bus is about to fall off a cliff!"

The students continued to panic, as they continued to jump off the bus.

Until only the blonde-haired boy was left.

Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate from his pocket.

Brrt- Brrt-

But he had no time to check as he stood up in a hurry.

As he was about to finally arrive near the exit, his fears were soon realized.

Eeeek-

Due to being the only student left, the bus didn't have enough weight, causing it to fall.

"Haha, what the fuck?"

The boy could only laugh at his predicament as he tumbled down due to the sheer impact.

With so many students on the bus, he was the only one who fell and got trampled on.

"I guess this is it, how unlucky."

He truly was unlucky.

With his life seemingly about to end, he retrieved his phone to send out a final message to his mother, his only guardian.

But when he opened the screen, the first app that opened was the web novel platform.

Or to be precise–the Path of Ascension novel.

"What is this?!"

[Pa%# t0 A3%$^&*on]

For some reason, it seemed like his phone was glitching out.

As he shifted his gaze, from his phone to the front of the bus, he could see that the bus was about to hit the ground.

3…

2…

1…

BOOM!
