《World Master》Chapter 3

“Hey, I still wanted to ask you—” I yelled, then sighed, “And he’s gone.”
Turning toward the doctors, I had a thought: “Hey, since I’m likely to send the next several hundred years with you, can I use your first names when talking to you?”
“Sure, I’m Lucien,” said Dr. Bastien.
“I’m Titania,” said Dr. Larkens.
“And I’m Oberon,” Dr. Stanton.
“And I guess you already know that I’m John. Also, really? You two are named after the High Queen and King of the Faeries?” I asked.
“Apparently, they are.”
“You two now have to be the beta testers for the Faerie race.”
“Please, please, tell me that faeries are an overpowered race that you won’t get to for a few hundred years,” said Titania.
“It will probably be a few decades before we get there. They should be at least tier 3,” I responded, “they are almost all magical, so they are rather strong as a race. Even as individuals they are at least tier 2, when they work together they are exponentially more powerful.”
“What kind of magic will humans have?” asked Lucien
“Humans will often be born with natural Aura or Qi abilities. They will also be very rarely born with mana affinity. I plan on making all the races in the first tier like that.”
“And what was it you said about RPG stuff?”
“Oh, yes, everyone will have stats, skills, classes, and other such things. They will even be able to create abilities. They get to name the ones that they make, but the names will go through us first,” Waving my hand, mainly for dramatic effect, I made a stack of nine sheets of paper appear in front of them, “This is what an average young adult’s stat table will look like for the basic races.”

The tables for the other races* looked much the same, the races being Humans, Gnomes, Halflings, Dwarves, Orcs, Merkin, Wolfkin, Tigerkin, and Bearkin.
*The other races’ status screens won’t be shown just yet, partially because I’m still working on them, and partially because I would be accused of trying to inflate my word count if I displayed 9 nearly identical tables in a single chapter.
“Why are the levels different?” asked Oberon.
“They will live in different environments for one,” I responded, “And a tigerkin would be more predatorial than a human or dwarf would be, while the most dangerous creatures live in the very deep oceans, where the merkin are the only creatures capable of easily getting to them, and are also the closest food source.”

Unbind
There is no rhyme or reason to the flow of life. Cora knows this better than anyone, a normal suburban girl living on the edge of a major city.

But as she wanders through worlds and becomes part of a system unimaginably greater than herself, she realizes that returning home isn’t as simple as it seems... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The warning tags are added because there is a high potential of the content warned about occurring in several chapters. They are not meant to be the explicit focus of Unbind, but they will be recurring elements, albeit with scarce frequency. As a warning, there will be a note added before a chapter should it contain mature content. Updates will be posted every Sunday. As a fledgling writer, I appreciate any commentary!
