Awakening skills

Khaos kept his wings retracted, still getting used to the weight and feel of his new avatar. He looked around, taking in the desolate landscape and the twisted village in the distance. 

His priority was to get a handle on his skills. He focused his mind, reaching deep within himself to unlock his abilities. A holographic interface flickered to life before him, displaying a list of skills and abilities.

"Okay, let's see what we've got here..." Khaos muttered to himself, scanning the list.

- Flight (Passive)

- Shadowstep (Locked)

- Darkfire (Locked)

- Healing Surge (Locked)

•...

He recognized some of the skills from his research on Demon Apocalypse, but others were completely new to him. Khaos eyes narrowed as he focused on the locked skills. How could he unlock them?

Suddenly, a notification popped up in his interface: "Skill Unlock Conditions: Complete quests, defeat enemies, and explore the world to unlock new skills."

Khaos grinned to himself. Time to get to work.

Khaos charged forward, his dark blade at the ready.

- Health: 250/300

- Mana: 100/100

- Strength: 150

- Agility: 120

As he attacked, he realized his mistake. These creatures were much stronger than the others, and they quickly overwhelmed him. Khaos stumbled back, his blade slipping from his grasp.

*Xi'an's (Khaos)Stats:*

- Health: 100/300 (critically low)

- Mana: 75/100

- Strength: 150

- Agility: 120

- Intelligence: 100

The creatures closed in, their jaws snapping mere inches from his face. Xi'an raised his arms, trying to defend himself, but it was no use.

Just as all hope seemed lost, a blast of energy struck the creatures, sending them flying. Xi'an collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

*Xi'an (Khaos)Stats:*

- Health: 50/300(near death)

- Mana: 20/100

- Strength: 150

- Agility: 120

A figure stood over him, a tall, imposing mage with a long white beard and piercing blue eyes. He wore a staff in one hand, its tip crackling with energy.

*Zorvath's Stats:*

- Health: 800/800

- Mana: 600/600

- Strength: 250

- Agility: 200

- Intelligence: 500

"You're a lucky one, young avatar," the mage said, his voice deep and commanding. "Those creatures were demons from the underworld. You shouldn't have been able to face them alone."

Khaos nodded, still trying to catch his breath. "Thanks...thanks for saving me."

The mage nodded. "My name is Zorvath. And yours?"

"Khaos... Khaos_88." he stuttered

Zorvath's eyes narrowed. " Khaos,88, which is your actual name?

" Khaos, honourable Lord" Khaos replied

"A gamer, I see. Well, Khaos, you have potential. But you need training. And fast. The underworld is not to be trifled with, obviously I guess you can't even use that blade" Zorvath said eyeing the sword with contempt.

Zorvath gestured to Khaos sword. "That blade may have served you well in the mortal realm, but it won't suffice here. Come, let me show you something."

He led Khaos to a nearby forge, where a glowing ember illuminated a selection of weapons. Zorvath handed Khaos a sleek, dark sword with intricate runes etched into the blade.

"This is a demon-forged sword, imbued with the power to vanquish the underworld's minions. But first, you must prove yourself worthy."

Khaos's eyes widened as he felt the sword's energy coursing through him. He nodded eagerly, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
