《The Arcadia System》Nixy Window
Advertisement
"Hmmm…... I am able to comprehend, but still...Doesn't this mean I'm weak?" sighed Reve.
His body felt mighty powerful. Yet, he was denounced as weak by the world administrator.
Whatever! he would check his strength by himself.
After making up his mind, he moved on to the next line on the main nixy window.
This one was something he had no idea of.
Reve purred as he remembered something, "Titles, heh. Is it like the noble titles back on earth? Myrna used to mock those posers who believed they were in power."
Titles:
-> These are important terms used to describe a special characteristic an individual has. Essentially, the effects of titles are different from that of skills.
Just like the previous concepts, he was able to understand this one.
He glanced at his certified titles and fumes of smoke instantly came out of his head.
"Ahhhh, is this some sort of code? Am I to understand this nonsense?"
As he kept thinking about the mysterious title, a nixy window detailing it popped up.
Titles: ######
-> An external force has set his sights on you. The following skills are granted to you: #####, ####, #####
"Well, great! Just what I needed. Another coded text," sighed Reve.
Not only was the title encrypted, but even the skills granted by the title were also exempted from this.
"How do I uncover this?" wondered Reve.
Ultimately, he decided on temporarily moving on to the next title.
Title: Deviant
-> A being from Earth, the brother-world of Arcadia
-> Achievement Point +5
The [Deviant] title explained many things to him.
It confirmed that Earth was a different place from Arcadia. Also, Earth and Arcadia are closely connected, which would mean the possibility of him going back is plausible.

However, that was not the first on his priority list.
Title: First Kind
-> The Progenitor of his race/species/subspecies. You have access to all the skills of a [White Arcadian Cat]
-> Achievement Point +25
Another title that granted achievement points.
Not much could be said about this title. He could only assess it once he first-hand experienced the effects.
However, there was something he needed to know about, achievement point(AP).
Despite thinking of it, nothing happened. No nixy window popped up. It was as if the window was being blocked from him.
Decisively, Reve added it to the list of things he needed to research about.
He moved on to what might perhaps be the most important concept on the main nixy window, the attributes!
Attributes
Strength: 3
Speed: 9
Constitution: 3
Intelligence: 16
Strength: 3
-> It measures how physically strong an individual is.
-> For reference, a young human child's strength is (1 - 5), while an adult human is (6 - 15). A normal peak human is (16 - 30)
Speed: 9
-> It measures the movement speed of an individual.
-> For reference, a young human child's speed is (1 - 5), while an adult human is (6 - 15). A normal peak human is (16 - 30)
Constitution: 3
-> It measures the stamina, endurance, vitality, and recovery rate of an individual. It also measures the sturdiness of the person
-> For reference, a young human child's constitution is (5 - 10), while an adult human is (11 - 15). A normal peak human is (16 - 20)
Intelligence: 16
-> It measures an individual's intellect, mind, and knowledge.
-> For reference, a young human child's strength is (5 - 10), while an adult human is (11 - 15). A normal peak human is (16 - 20)

"Hmmm….it is ascertained. I'm never going outside," cried Reve.
He brushed his facial fur with his right front paw, "All in all, I'm really weak. Meow, even as weak as an annoying human baby."
He curled in a circle and mellowed in his weakness.
After a while, he decided to check the last thing in his main nixy window.
Skills
#######(Max). Sixth Sense(Lv.2).
Reve's array of skills was almost empty. He only had two and it didn't help that one of them was encrypted!
Luckily, he had access to the sixth sense.
Skill(Innate): Sixth Sense(Lv.2)
-> A common skill of all feline creatures. It enables them to tap into the dormant sixth sense of the body, using it to perform all sorts of abilities.
The sixth sense was perhaps what had warned him of his environment earlier.
Due to his low mastery over the mysterious sense, it was weak.
It was as if it dwelled more in the subconscious than the conscious. This was why Reve couldn't identify its work when it warned him.
Anyway, looking at the skill nixy window, Reve realized something.
The world administrator divided skills into two; innate and normal.
Innate skills were self-explanatory. They were skills that we're not learnt but instead gotten due to one's race, species, or uniqueness. An example of it would be the [Sixth Sense].
Nevertheless, some of them could be trained. The more one familiarizes themselves with it, the higher one's skill proficiency becomes.
As for normal skills, they were the general definition of skills. They were skills that were acquired by an individual. They usually were tougher to level up than the innate skills.
As soon as he comprehended these concepts, the world became much greener to him. It all made sense!
It also dawned on him that if he did not venture out to increase his level, he would be stuck here for the rest of his life.
There was no saving him. Only he could save himself.
It reminded him of the time when he used to steal female cats. He would look at their suitors and command them to run away.
Now, it seemed like his sins were catching up to him.
On that note, his sins were surely immeasurable. He failed to count how many times he had peed on statues of gods.
Heck, he even peed on humans. So, what say, a god?
Yes, Yes, that is the right mentality.
He wasn't scared.
Nothing could make him shiver. Not even cold rain.
There was no room to look back. Ultimately, his sins weren't on him. They were in his ignorant self.
Even the big G above wouldn't curse a cute cat like him, would he?
Hence, he had to focus on what he could do now that would benefit his eventual venture to the wilderness.
As if knowing what to do, Reve glanced at the bookshelves and meowed.
As they say, knowledge was power...

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
