The Power System
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
This chapter is dedicated to help explain the final power system of this novel and how they will be expressed during the writing process of this novel.
This novel is going take the traditional route of other Virtual Reality genre books.For every action novel out there,there is the need for skills.
Grades In Elemental Affinities
F-->E-->D-->C-->B-->A-->S-->SS-->SSS-->X. WITH F AS THE LOWEST AND X AS THE HIGHEST.
An individual can awaken more than one element with different Affinities.
[Types Of Skills]
Evolvable skills
Active skills
Passive skills
One time use skills
Evolvable skills are skills that are binded to the soul of its caster. and can evolve with him/her.Evolvable skills of other humans have a cap limit but the same does not hold true for Mr.James.[The whole premise on which James' talent is based on his unbelievable soul strength and soul purity that can handle multiple elements.The only thing mana can really improve is physical strength,vitality, base intelligence,most importantly soul purity and soul strength in miniscule amounts.For example if James has about 200 soul strength and it increases by 5 every level up, others will have a base soul strength of about 10 and will increase by 0.2 every level up,that's the unbelievable gap between them in terms of soul strength. This does not mean James is the only one with unbelievable talent. There will be people with this same stats for elements they are highly attuned with.The only difference is the speciality of the element.For example a person of fire affinity cannot hope to match a time attuned user in magical talent with the same affinity grade,this necessarily does not mean a time user is stronger.A person of X Class Fire affinity definitely has more talent in magic than a C class Time affinity user.The only way to really break through the shackles holding one down to their mortal state is through the soul but breaking through soul purity is way easier than soul strength.The only way James could have his outstanding soul strength was through his reincarnation.The only reason increasing soul strength is difficult is because of how fragile the mortal soul is but after James first reincarnation and merging of souls his soul strength doubled which increased soul's capacity to evolve,this made it easier to enhance his soul strength.The same could be said after his second reincarnation.With this James was able to leave the fragile soul state behind which now made it easier for evolution.Therefore, basically after leaving the fragile mortal soul state behind,enhancing soul strength is easy but been able to leave that state behind is impossible.
That is why James might very well be the only person with such outstanding soul strength.] James with his amazing soul strength can evolve skills without a cap.The skills selected by James for evolution, evolve with him as he also evolves.
Active skills need the presence of energy to be able to be activated.
Passive skills are activated without any type of energy.
One time skills are rare skills that can be activated without any energy but can be used only once.The rarer the skill the higher the possibility of a side effect or debuff.
Skill Grades
F-->E-->D-->C-->B-->A-->S-->SS-->SSS-->X
Basic classes available will be assassin, warrior,mage,summoner,shaman,ranger,fighter/martial artist, healers/priests....there are many other classes out there.In special cases where a person's constitution leans towards a particular stat,the system recommends a class to the said individuaL.The elements awakened can affect the class an individual needs to choose. An example will be an individual with the shadow element which leans toward assassination but there can be a variation in the shadow element which leans toward absorption which can help a healer. This novel will not be stuck to the normal properties of elements and assumptions by people on what the limit of an element is supposed to be.
Dungeons/Gates
The power cap of dungeons and gates will be on level basis.For example a dungeon with mostly level 39 goblins will be a level 39 dungeon but there will difference in their stats based on their hierarchy that is Soldier,Elite And Boss level, in special cases there will be commanders, generals etc.The same holds true for gates.
