Xing Lei had achieved the apex, surrounded by friends and family he stood at the final gate before achieving true immortality, surviving this last tribulation would mean the completion of his lifes struggle. But we all know the heavens are blind and spiteful. Before Xing Lei can achieve godhood he is struck down Reborn in a land as foreign to him as possible, he must crawl back to the final stage, but not as a man. So begins the task of the Immortal Kobold. * Note: I don't own the image used for the cover art, if the one who does wishes me to remove it, just let me know.

The Immortal Kobold

Okay since my listing messed up I'll redo this and explain the breakdown. In this world most every skill or innate ability levels up with use, some also level with jobs/classes. The level of a skill is the person's proficiency when using it. As an example say a human has Climbing (Trained) competing against an Elf with Climbing (Second Nature), where the names naturally represent the degree of understanding. The human would obviously climb slower and be more prone to falling than the elf.


Ranks are the experience points of the levels, each level has ten ranks before it advances, the more complicated the use the more likely the rank advances. Using the above example, a human training by climbing a ladder quickly might raise his rank by one, where as a human climbing a rock face without assisting gear might raise 3 to 4 ranks.


Hopefully this gives some insight on how the characters tend to advance their skill sets and why everyday easy actions don't give as much as challenging uses.
