I Reincarnated As A Stick

"Oh...my god. This passive skill is definitely fitting of the name." Aurus couldn't help but feel exhilarated whenever he sees the effects the passive skill gives him.

"A 50% boost to experience, not to mention every type of experience from levels to skills! And also to think that my memories weren't wiped because of this skill, I really can't help but thank her a lot!"

Being surprised by the effects of the two passive skills, Aurus had the idea of checking the only active skill he had, which was [Roll].

"Since the two passive skills have such godly effects, then wouldn't Kurohana change the [Roll] skill as well? Let's see if that's the case."

"Identify [Roll]."

Ding!

________

[Roll] (Level 1/3)

Experience: 0/3

The basic movement for twigs and sticks of all sizes and shapes. An intangible energy exists everywhere, more commonly known as wind. Harnessing the energy from the wind, the stick can move forward at a constant rate.

Rate of movement: 1 meter per hour

________

Aurus couldn't help but laugh bitterly. It seemed that he got his hopes up for no reason.

"Well it does make sense though...why would she tamper with the [Roll] skill if I already have two skills that would probably make a lot of players hate me if it was in-game?"

After calming himself down, he then wondered how much HP he currently had. When he looked at his status screen a while ago, he couldn't see his current HP amount.

"Show my HP bar," Aurus commanded.

Ding!

'The option has been enabled.'

After the voice that came from the system finished speaking, two numbers could be seen floating above Aurus' body, separated by a line.

"1/1 huh," Aurus felt that this amount of HP was normal for someone at his current level.

"Anyways, once I level up, I'll gain more HP anyway so why bother thinking how much HP I currently have?"

Aurus' eyes gleamed as he could still vividly remember the godly passive skill.

"Anyways, let's not make the skill a waste and use it properly!"

"Open up the map."

Ding!

A map of considerable size appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision, allowing Aurus to look at everything that surrounded within a one kilometer radius.

Although he already figured out that he was reborn in the world of Erudinia and knew every place like the back of his hand, he still wanted to make sure just in case this current world was different from the game.

And for some reason, there was only a deviation in terms of distance. Aurus had his eyes on a special place he went to at the start of the game back then and there was a distance of 500 meters between them back then. But now, that distance has been increased to 750 meters.

"Set a marker towards the place," Aurus commanded.

Ding!

'Marker has been placed. Forming path.'

After a while, a large blue triangle could be seen hovering above Aurus' body. Aurus could also sense a blue path that led to the place that he wanted to go to, it was an incredibly surreal experience for him.

"Let's not waste any more time. Wait..."

"What time is it?" Aurus asked.

Ding!

'Current time: Day 1, 8:12:32 a.m.'

"Hm... I've only wasted a few minutes on checking my current abilities. Anyways, [Roll].'

After muttering the skill name, a faint green energy started to envelop Aurus' body in a way that propelled him forward. He could feel that he could change the direction of his movement, but with the blue path in front of him leading the way, he saw that there was no need to change it.

"If I factor in everything that will happen to me along the way, it would take me around a day or two to reach that place."

At this moment, Aurus' eyes gleamed. "But I have that skill so it'll only take me a day at most!"

"Onward to that place that I can't say because I feel like someone will explain it later on!"

Whoosh!

Although a whoosh sound could be heard, Aurus was moving at a pace that could be compared to the speed of a snail's movement, but he endured it since he would speed up soon enough.

"Hehe. This is gonna take a while," Aurus couldn't help but say.

As Aurus was moving towards the place at an excruciatingly slow pace...

*Vsauce music plays"

Hey, Heavenly Body here. What...are stats?

Hehe, I told you that I'd be explaining stats and the other things sooner or later so here I am.

Anyways, there are three stats to take note of: Toughness, Thickness, and Density.

Toughness is equivalent to the Defense stat in MMORPGs, Thickness is equivalent to the Vitality stat in MMORPGs, and Density is equivalent to the Attack stat in MMORPGs.

And that's all pretty much. No wait, there's something else. Although these three stats fulfill their roles, they still have hidden connections with one another. I don't know how they're connected but it exists.

Also, the stats that our Aurus has are only the three basic stats that every player has in ISE. Once he evolves to a certain point and reaches a certain existence level, he could obtain more stats like Intelligence, Spirit, Element Affinity and so on.

Now let's move on to the other stuff, specifically existence level and grades.

At this point in time, you might be bored already after reading this heavenly body's long explanation but...

Bear with me a little bit more.

Existence levels are basically a measurement on the sentience and power of a certain species. So far, you only need to know of two existence levels: Inanimate which is Aurus' current existence level, and Animate, the existence level after Inanimate.

They're self-explanatory so I won't explain any further. As for grades...

You know how some species are stronger than other species? That's because of grades. Although a lot of species are at the same existence level, when their grades are taken into consideration, some can do more than others.

Anyways, there are only five grades to take note of: C, B, A, S and X from lowest to highest respectively.

These grades affect not only existence levels but also skills as well...although I'll delve deeper into that part later on.

Anyways, I have to get going now. Something special is going to happen to Aurus soon.

*swoop*

Two hours have passed since Aurus enabled the [Roll] skill.

Aurus looked at the triangle on top of his stick body and looked at the number above it.

748.

"It has already been two hours and I've only moved 2 meters. This is definitely going to take a while."

Ding!

At this moment, Aurus was surprised. Shouldn't that notification sound come up one hour later, he thought. But then he remembered that specific skill and then smiled.

'[Roll] has leveled up.'
