Walking in the strangely quiet forest, chills ran down Dave's spine, the eerie environnt combined with the horrors he had seen, was making him jump with the slightest stimuli. Even the cracking of dry wood with his step was making him jump with horror.
As he made his way toward the Cloudhold, he warily looked around, trying to spot any monsters. It was good as well terrifying that he could not see any monsters. And with sunlight getting bleaker by the minute, he understood that night would soon fall on him, and the chance of him getting jumped by a monster would be increased significantly in the night. So he put haste in his steps and moved as fast as he could.
Climbing up and down the slopes of the mountain was not an easy task. He could not afford to get injured in any way, after all, he was all alone out here, so he every step very carefully.
From the information that Grump had told him, he would be able to reach the Cloudhold by midnight. But the old man was wrong, he had never been trekking his whole life, and getting down on the mountain itself consud a lot of his ti. And as the night fell, he couldn't even follow the smoke of Cloudhold.
No matter what that old said, he would not travel in the dark, especially in this forest. He decided that he should probably find a cave or sothing, to spend the night. Although he first thought that it would be a good idea to sleep on a tree, he realized soon enough how dumb that idea was.
He had fought with monsters, which could climb up the tree as easily as they could walk, so he dropped the idea hard. So instead he started looking for a cave. But his destiny had sothing else planned for him….
The night was about to fall, there was no cave or any sort of sanctuary in his sight, he had already made peace with the fact that he had to spend his night out in the open. Still, he was wrecking his brain, trying for a safe place to sleep, but it was then he heard it
AHH!
It was very faint, but he heard soone's scream, the scream didn't sound alarming, it sounded more like the person was enjoying yelling out there. He started walking in the direction from where he heard the noise, he even took out his mask and put it in his inventory. He figured that walking to a group with a mask and bloodied clothes was probably not a good idea.
Soon he started hearing noises, people talking loudly, the sounds of laughter, from the sounds of it, this group was huge. While following the noises, he started formulating a story to hide his identity. He figured that he would tell these guys that he was lost and had recently been in a fight. He had lost his weapon and everything and now he was wandering around aimlessly.
With a solid plan in his mind, he got confidence in his step, he started moving toward them. It was then he spotted a bird, hovering over him, the peculiar thing was the bird was glowing like a firefly. He was curious about what that bird was, after hovering over him for a few seconds, the bird left, and with it, the chattering of people also stopped.
He stopped as well and started wondering why that camp had beco silent. Still, he kept walking, he had co too close, and now he could not return. After a small walk, he found himself in a clearing, where stood a bunch of people with their weapons drawn was looking in his direction.
He didn't what to do. He wanted to show them that he was harmless, just another survivor wandering around, he raised his hands and put a bright smile on his face.
"Ah… Hello." He tried greeting them, but none of them even acknowledged his greeting, they just kept staring at him. It was then a woman with red hair and bright red eyes ca forward.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I… I am Davy…" he didn't know why he introduced himself as Davy, probably because Grump always sses up his na. So he still rolled with it. " I am kind of… in a pickle. I lost my weapon and my stuff when I got attacked by Kongs. I was wondering if you guys can help out."
"Do you have any weapon with you? Davy?" the woman asked.
"No… You guys can pat down if you want. I am not ard, just a fellow adventurer in a pickle." The woman then gestured to one of the n, to go check him.
The man went and patted down every inch of his body and found nothing on him. He then gestured back to the woman, it is only then the people lowered their weapons and sighed with relief.
"Can I join you guys?" he asked.
The woman put on a bright smile and gestured to join them. "Co on. Anything for a fellow adventurer."
The camp although welcod him, but he felt that they are still very suspicious of him. So people were keeping an eye on him, he could feel their gaze on his back, but he dared not to look his stalkers in the eye.
So he just went to a corner and just sat down. He didn't try to mingle with anyone or talk, he just sat down and looked around the camp. Eventually, he started getting bored, so he opened his status nu.
He knew that no one would be able to see him use his status nu, so it would be safe for him to check it out. As soon as he commanded the system to show him his status, he started getting a lot of ssages.

As he got all these ssages at once, he was overwheld. It is then he realized that even after he had killed all those Kongs and Tribal Chiefs, he didn't get these ssages. He loved this function and enabled it forever. As he dismissed the invitations and removed the ssages, a status window appeared before him…

Instantly he noticed that his class has changed, it is no longer the Newbie Swordsman, but instead, it had beco Newbie Warrior. He didn't know the reason behind the class change, but he figured that it must have changed as he started practicing every kind of weapon, rather than sticking to just the sword.
I wonder when this class change happened anyway? Was it around the ti when I was in Ravenshade or was it after that when he fought the tribal Chief, he thought
So pushed his thoughts behind his head and started looking at his stats, which were actually very important right now.
He had leveled up a lot, and now he could finally start distributing his points…

He took a lot of ti to decide where he should put his stat, but after thinking about it for a long ti, he finally make a decision. This ti he decided to level up his Arcane as well, he may not have any use of mana skills right now, but in the future, he would have so.
After a long thought, he finally distributed his stats….

He distributed his stat points in such a way that his Strength, Dex, and Agility are at the sa level because he wanted to jack of all trades, just like he envisioned to be...
When he was in Ravenshade, he talked to Grump about how he should distribute his stat points, and the old man has so compelling views on that matter…
"Well you have to decide it on your own, the stat distribution basically depends on your fighting style. If you talk about , I like to use weapons, which require force, so most of my stats are focused on Strenght and Dex, but mostly on strength. While my agility, arcane, and Intellect are not that high."
After talking to him, he started thinking about what kind of fighting style want to achieve. If he thinks about weapons, he couldn't picture himself fighting with brute strength. Instead, he imagined himself fighting nimbly with sword and bow, with a little bit of spear and magic here and there.
But here contradiction started appearing, bow didn't need the strength that much. But sword and spear did. So after thinking about it a lot, he figured that he would keep his Strength, Dex, and Agility equals for now. After he had reached a certain level and had gathered more vision about his fighting style, then only he would start focusing on a few specific stats…
