Hm. This is simultaneously fortuitous and misfortunate. On the one hand, no one around to see
me casually doing something cthulhu would. On the other hand, no one around to judge where I
am. A problem for tomorrow's me. For now, I should worry about becoming stronk boi. First, I
should gauge my strength...
"[stats]."
[stats]
HP: 500/500
-A measure of your livelihood. Note: unlike most Systems, given proper circumstance, you CAN
die while your hp is still over 0. Doing the fusion dance with your heartless and becoming whole
counts as dying.
MP: 300/300
-A measure of magical energy you still have to mold into spells. Can be increased by
"exercising" through using up your MP in controlled amounts.
Strength: 4
-A measure of your physical might. Can be increased through regular exercise.
Defense: 3
-A measure of your physical resilience. Can be increased through regular exercise.
Power: 6
-A measure of your magical might. Can be increased by using your magic more and more, thus
becoming more familiar with it.
Resistance: 5
-A measure of your magical resilience. Can be increased by "exercising" with your magic by
filling your body with it, thus developing a "resistance" to it. The concept of this practice is similar
to that of a vaccine.
Speed: 8
-A measure of... Your speed. Can be increased through regular exercise.
Luck: 7
-A measure of your average luckiness. YOU cannot do anything short of making sacrifices to
increase this stat.

...I am going to need a scale for this.
I am sorry, Sir Keh Tree, but I need to test this.
Thud
...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
After extensive training (read: metaphorically banging my head on trees and seeing if I get a
concussion), I have discovered: I am only marginally stronger than a normal huan. Speed-wise,
however... Still not that impressive, but I am way more, how shall I put this, "Streamlined" than
before the split.
On the topic of my becoming better, this beautiful screen popped up.

You have obtained the option to choose a new job!
Please select from the below list:
[Notice]
A lot of those are from games, and are rather powerful. But as of right now, I have a very
specific set of needs. And there is a class that seems to fit it very well...
[Job]
Name: Priest
Description: become an ally even more beloved than a medic in TF2, or Technoblade in a
minecraft team event, with the Priest Job! It is your duty to minmax the power of your allies
using the blessings of angels! With Angel's aid increasing elemental damage, Angel ward
reducing elemental damage your party takes, and Convert energy allowing you to spend an
admittedly lucrative amount of mp to energize your allies, people will even be slightly tempted to
kidnap you to work for them!... For legal reasons, that is a joke.
Initial skills:
Spirit ward
Level: 1
Slightly decreases* the elemental damage you and your allies take.
Cost: 40mp
*-6% damage taken from elemental attacks.
Convert energy (BP)
Level: 1
Uses up a quarter of your maximum MP to energize 1 ally or yourself. When applicable,
increases BP instead.
Cost: 25% max mp
Angel's aid
Level: 1
Slightly increases* the elemental damage of a selected ally or yourself.
Cost: 1 BP
*+6% damage dealt by elemental attacks[Job]
Ability to reduce the damage that I take? Yes please. Option to energize myself or an ally, thus
solidifying myself as a valued ally? A tad expensive, yet still very much worth it. Increase the
damage of an allies elemental attacks, thus ensuring my position as a MVP that must not take
damage? Hell yeah.
[Notice]
You have selected to choose Priest as your first Job. Are you sure? Please send either verbal or
mental confirmation of your choice.
Yes No
[Notice]
"Yes."
...Huh. That's odd. I expected some kind of reaction.
[Notice]
The only main effect would be related to the soul, and you lost yours. Therefore, no reaction.
However, you do have a soul-substitute now, a spiritual core to explain it, in the form of an
Asterisk. Yes, you are now capable of being a god-tier super boss, complete with the insane
loot.
[Notice]
...In the words of Mido, WELL THEN. Lets hope that I stay on everyone's good side, lest they
rationalize killing me. Now then, time to begin my grand adventu-
"HEY! WAS THAT YOU?!"
...siiiiiiiigh. I know I said I wanted something to confirm where I landed, but I meant something
along the lines of a Chomper or some other easily recognizable mook. Not a entity I would need
to socialize with.
