Welcome to the world of Magi RPG!
What the fuck? I question myself as I look around at the world of darkness surrounding me, along with this strange blue panel with the previous text on it.
Out of the many souls that have drifted to the other side, you have been chosen to be reincarnated. Congrats.
I died? "Well fuck me" I groan out and look at the strange panel. "And the only thing that I can talk to is a stupid blue panel." I sigh and shake my head. "I hate Floridian drivers!" I scream and throw my hands around slightly. At least I tried to when I noticed something ... I don't have a body. "Ok, what happened to my body?" I asked no one in particular and just looked around.
You are dead, why would you need your old body?
"Smart ass." I remark slightly as I just 'swipe' away the blue panel.
Because of your past, you have been granted the power known as The Gamer, which makes your body act as if it were a video game
I laugh softly at this as I then frown. "Wait, if I am in the world of Magi, does that mean what I think it means?" I state out and look around more. "Am I being summoned by freaking Solomon himself?"
For recognizing the world you are about to enter and the guider of destiny +1 Int
"Cool. So let's get this process started, or whatever." I clap my hands together. If I am going to be in a new world, I may as well have a time of who I play as.
Beginning Character Creation - Please choose where you come from and a sole perk from the area that is not mandatory:
Seven Seas Alliance, a conglomeration of kingdoms that rule the seven seas. They are led by the first dungeon capturer Sinbad. This alliance is one of the three leading superpowers in this world
Perks
*- mandatory
*Citizen of all the Seven Seas- As a part of the Seven Seas Alliance, you can gain +10 permanent REP from any and all kingdoms associated with it, -10 permanent REP with the Kou empire and -5 permanent REP with the Reim empire.
Ocean Combat- Trained by the best, you gain a +50% EXP gain whenever on the ocean. -50% EXP gain involving any combat on land.
Horn of the Ocean- Imuchakk blood flows through your veins, making you on the higher side of the physical tree. +50% EXP gain for physical activities and whenever in cold atmospheres, -50% EXP gain whenever in hot arid areas
Medicines of the Desert- Hailing from Heliohapt causes you to be able to be proficient in medicine. +50% EXP gain to medicine skills, and Heliohapt sword skills.
Wings in the Sky- You come from Artemyra, these people have an amazonian philosophy that sees men as house husbands while the females are in charge. +90% chance of being born a female, and +50% EXP on/with an animal and the chance increases depending upon what type of animal.
While this is really tempting, I am not entirely sure that I would have any real sway here. Besides, while I like Sinbad just fine, he is still entirely a silver tongued bastard that I really don't want to touch on.
Reim Empire, a large country located in the western continent that is led by one of the four magi and emperor/ great priestess Scheherazade. (Think about ancient Greece or Rome for a visual),one of the three superpowers in this world.
Perks
*-mandatory
*Citizen of Reim- As part of the Reim Empire, you gain +10 permanent REP from any and all kingdoms associated with them, -5 permanent REP with the Kou empire and -5 permanent REP with the Seven Seas Alliance.
Battle instincts- After going through multiple fights to the death in the Colosseum you are able to train your senses to detect incoming attacks and a person location.(Ranged of detection will increase every two levels you move up.) (Starting range 100 feet.)
Lucky Devil- The Reim empire is famous for its casinos and the current leader of the Yambala gladiators is a terrible gambler and you don't want to be that bad so you learn all that you can. +50 when playing a game and additional +50 when you win the game, your Luck and INT will increase by 2 points, and the chances of you winning the more you know about the game but decrease the less you know and the difficulty of the game.
Again this is extremely tempting, especially with the battle instincts part. The thing is, I can't see myself ever really staying there, even for the Colosseum. So I 'swiped' to the next one.
Conquering the empire of Kou. The third great super power that has been spreading quicker than any others. This group is led by the Kou family, though they are manipulated in the shadows by the groups hoping to destroy the world Al Thamen or Our Father.

I scrolled past the Kougan Empire, after all, they are basically the main villains throughout the series, even if being a servant could potentially be good. I keep scrolling, gods there are a lot of empires, factions and more in this world.
Freelancer you are your own person and no one can decide your fate but yourself, you go to whoever it is as long as they are willing to pay for your skills.

While this would be an interesting choice, it doesn't give me a very good way of taking anything I really need. Plus, there is no real way for me to meet with the mc's of the series.
The Wandering Plains, be apart of one of the tribes who roam the vast plains of any continent.
Kouga - These people are master marksman and women. Along with that they are proficient at horse riding. +5 REP with the plains people. You get 10% more EXP whenever riding on horses, or using bow and arrow.
A few more plains tribes never really caught my eye (after all we only got to see the Kougas) until I came across this:
The people of the dark continent, known as one of the most disturbing areas in the world and home to the people that chose not to follow Hugo's plan to create another world. The two main tribes outside of the main part of the dark continent have been hunted and turned into slaves for more powerful kingdoms.
*Bound in chains- No matter which tribe you choose, you will be randomly placed in a kingdom that allows slavery. -5 REP with all slave aligned kingdoms, +5% EXP with physical skills.
Pride of the Red Lions - The Finalis clan is who you are born into. Their skills are physical strength and enhanced senses claimed these people, pulling other kingdoms and countries to want to enslave these people. +50% growth to all physical skills.
My mind jumped straight to the crazy Fanalis clan that was in the series made my hand instantly touch the Pride of the Red Lions option, not looking at the other people of the dark continent. Come on, if you were me you would have chosen this as well!
Please choose some extra perks based on your points specified from your accomplishments in your old life and a few bonuses as you are one of the few spirits you are chosen.
A box appears before me with 500 points on it (that is depressing) and a scroll of perks below it.
Age 10 reached: +100 points
Alpha Tester: +2000 points
Real Life: +1000 points
New total: 3600 points
Well at least this helps, so let's see these perks!
The Gamer: -2000 points → This bonus will give you the body and mind of a Gamer, allowing you to gain the gamer title and the following skills
Gamer's Body- Your body is that of a video game's allowing you to gain exp and track your hp, mp and more.
Gamer' Mind - Your mind can stay calm and logical in moments of high stress.
Before I look at anything else, I start shouting out to the void. "WHAT THE HELL! I get that I should have some kind of debuff, but come on The Gamer is one of the most important parts of having this kind of thing!" After a few minutes of cooling off (seriously why do I have to pay for this stuff?), I managed to tap it, deducting the 2000 points. I "shake" my head as I look back at the panel.
Skip Birth: -100 points → Self explanatory.
Instantly pushed since you know I would rather not deal with being born again.
Lead by the Rukh: -1500 points → Downscaled version of God Mode, you are able to feel the flow of fate to ride what you need to do (look at Sinbad for example)
God Mode: -10,000 → Be in touch with the source of it all. You can control fate, have as many Djinn as you want, unlimited HP, MP, SP, and stats.
I look over all of these and just facepalm. Yeah I can definitely afford God Mode with 1500 points remaining. The Lead by the Rukh will definitely be helpful since it will allow me to follow whatever Solomon's plan is.
Will this be all you are taking?
[Yes], [No]
I roll my eyes and tap [Yes].
Generating Character now ...
Wait, so I don't even get a chance to look over my character?! That just bites.
Character Generated:
Name: Uru Fanalis
Age: 8
Level: 5
Gender: Male
EXP: 100/3500
Huh? So I get to skip a few years and a few levels. I gotta admit, I'm curious to see what I look like.
Title: The Gamer
HP: 324
MP: 182
SP: 360
STATS
Str: 18
Int: 14
Dex: 20
Vit:18
Wis: 13
Luk: 20
Unused Stat points → 25
My, what I have to assume wisdom, doesn't look so good, and my intelligence too isn't the highest either. I quickly look at another box that appears before me.
Would you like a tutorial of some basic controls?
[Yes], [No]
Duh. I quickly tap yes, as I impatiently shuffle. Weirdly enough, I felt … more solid. I guess it's because I have a new body.
+1 Int for deducing why you feel more like yourself.
I quickly saw my intelligence increase to 15 instead of staying at 14. So it is like Dungeons and Dragons. I then move my attention towards the main box.
New Quest! Tutorial
Objective: Complete the Tutorial to learn more about your powers
Rewards:
+500 EXP
Please say [Perks], to get the tutorial started.
"Alright, Perks it is."
A new blue box appeared, instantly sending away my STATS and in the box, I gulped, seeing a few interesting perks that I have.
Perks are naturally obtained through achievements and choosing certain items, such as in character creation.
Pride of the Red Lions → You were born in the dark continent under the Fanlis family, and thus you have a very powerful body. +50% exp to Str, Dex, Vit.
Bound in Chains → You arrived into the main continent through the slave trades +5% exp to Str, Dex, Vit.
Lead by the Rukh → Much like Sinbad, the flow of fate can help shift many of your decisions to guide you to where you need to be, and how you need to move. +10 Luk points
I nod my head at this. This makes perfect sense, after all this is what I asked for. I let out a deep sigh as I close out the perk window, as a new blue box appears before me.
Please say [Inventory]
"Inventory." Before me a semi orange like panel appears, an assortment of slots in said panel. All of the slots are empty, and this causes my eyes to fall on the "avatar" I am using. By the looks of it, Uru Fanalis is about 4' 10" and very, very malnourished. He had sallow, distant looking eyes. He was equipped with only a single, disgusting looking thing of rags and a pair of cuffs and chains attached to his ankles.
You can store any object you acquire into this menu. Along with that, during quests and combat, items can be automatically put into the menu. To the left you can see that you have an avatar, where you can equip yourself, from armor to special trinkets (see Metal Vessels and the like).
I nod slightly at this, though I was slightly annoyed. I bite my lip as I close the Inventory, causing a new menu to appear.
Please say [Stats]
"Stats."
My stats appear once more, including the change in my Int.
Name: Uru Fanalis
Age: 8
Level: 5
Gender: Male
EXP: 100/3500
Title: The Gamer
HP: 324
MP: 195
SP: 360
STATS
Str: 18
Int: 15
Dex: 20
Vit: 18
Wis: 13
Luk: 20
Unused Stat points → 25
Would you like to know what each of these parts mean?
"Yes I would love to know what these mean, and how they affect each other." I state to the void, as a new menu appears.
These are the basics of what each means. These can evolve depending on how your story goes,
Level → Your current strength, the more you learn, the higher of a level you gain, with each level you gain 5 stat points to be used to your discretion.
EXP → Experience is gained through actions, quests and fights. When enough points are acquired you will gain a new level. These also occur to skills.
Age → Obvious
Gender → Obvious
Title → Titles are gained through actions, behaviors and the way people perceive you. These can be either good or bad depending on your viewpoints.
HP → Obviously Health Points. If this hits zero, you are dead, and there are no saves or reloads to this game. Gain this by multiplying base Vit and Str.
MP → Magic Points, Magoi Points, call it what you want. This shows the types of magic based skill you have gained, such as using Djinn spells. Gain this by multiplying base Wis and Int.
SP → Stamina Points, this allows you to use more physical and power based skills when needed, such as a simple punch costs no SP while a full on running tackle would cost a bit. Gain this by multiplying base Str and Dex.
Str → Your Strength determines how hard your punches land, and how your weapons get swung.
Int → Intelligence shows how you can memorize, learn and acquire information.
Dex → Dexterity allows you to aim your weapons far easier then normal, and allows you to contort your body to avoid enemies' attacks. The lower this is, the more potential you have for hitting allies and potentially tripping over your own feet.
Vit → Vitality shows how healthy you are, and if you can recover from injuries and diseases faster.
Wis → How well can you make a decision is determined by Wisdom. Being able to recite an entire spell in a second is one thing, it's an entirely other one to be able to make people agree with your side of things.
Luk → Can you get the important item from grinding? Are you able to choose the right card? Then you want this to be high. Though be warned, lady luck is not always around.
"Well that is entirely helpful!" I call the void an inquisitive look on my face. My low Intelligence and Wisdom makes sense. I am a slave and I doubt they use me for remembering their important dates. This makes me, at least at this point of time, a very physical based fighter. I closed out of the explanation as a new part came up.
Please state [Skills]
"Skills!" Yeah, yeah, I'm getting excited if you couldn't tell. Sure I'm probably going to have a rough time, but still, building characters is an awesome part of any video game. Though I kinda hate how some parts are predetermined.
Skills
Gamer's Body (Passive) Level Max→ Life is a video game to an extent for you. Recover HP, MP and SP during sleep. 100% in your own bed, 75% in someone else's bed, 50% on in a bag or in a tent, 25% on the ground or in trees.
Gamer's Mind (Passive) Level Max → Thanks to the mind of an RPG player, you are able to keep your calm and make wiser choices … hopefully. You can calm yourself readily, but extreme emotional stress can get you.
Physical Endurance (Passive) Level 10 Exp:32/5000 → You have been beaten and bruised more times then you can count, but you have learned to just deal with it. All physical attacks lose 13% damage.
Mining (Passive) Level 5 Exp:23/2500 → You have mined for quite a while and you know how to find a good mineral vein, though you don't get to keep what you find usually. +10% chance of finding raw minerals and items when mining.
Heavy Load (Passive) Level 11 Exp:50/5100 → This skill allows you to pick up and carry items far larger then you should, including giant stone blocks weighing almost 1 ton. Gain +50% more Exp for physical stats when carrying heavier items.
Enhanced Senses (Passive and Active) Level 12 Exp:300/5200 → A natural gift of the Fanalis are their enhanced senses. This is Passive in the fact that you can always feel your senses on range, but it turns active when you are focusing on finding or doing what you need.
Full Weight Punch (Active) Level 3 Exp:13/600 → You throw your entire being into this punch, dealing some damage to an opponent. -15 SP and deal 9 damage.
Yeah these make sense. I bet being whipped and forced to do various different tasks for cruel people would definitely earn me these few skills. This Full Weight Punch could be useful as a starting attack to allow me to get some fight. I close out the screen and a bit of fanfare hits my face.

"Great so are we about to get into this world?" I rub my strangely solid hands together as a voice echoes across the void.

I blink a few times before I audibly gulp. "This is going to be harder than I thought, but I will do it Solomon! In honor of you taking me into your world!" I call out as a large 8 pointed star appears before me. I could not read the markings surrounding the star as a voice booms out.
"Thank you for your promise! Things will be tough for you, but do not lose heart! You can help guide those down the right path!" I felt myself getting pushed towards the star, as it began to glow bright gold. "OPEN SESAME!" The star split right down the middle vertically, as it begins to open, bright light spilling across me.
I slowly opened my eyes, groaning as I saw a set of bars before me, and a single source of light aiming at my eyes. A guard, looking like he is wearing light yet steady leather armor carrying a spear and shield, standing over me with a sneer on his face.
"Get up slave! You have work to do."
And CUT!
Yeah a new story I know, but I have to do it. Finally got around to finish it off. So check it out, and I will be getting back to Percy Jackson and the New Spirit. Also, thanks Salamander007, he is my co writer and I get him around to help with the next A/N.
