In the morning Jason was greeted by a scroll of paper that landed on his face with a loud<b>thwack</b>. Startled he let out a bit of a yelp as he scrambled to sit up. The slender young man didn't look like a Warrior in training. At level one and in his true shape he just looked like a relatively fit pale skinned young man with lovely hair. But there was a small throbbing diamond in the corner of his vision that he was going to check before he remembered what had woken him.<br/><br/>He turned his head to look at Penelope to make sure she was okay before he unrolled the parchment. The paper looked aged and the ink was a disturbing dark reddish-brown that seemed to sink into the page.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Dear new guests! I've been told that my introduction was more than a little <i>harsh</i> and that you might be upset at the idea of your rotting corpses laying at home while you live forever in a world of almost unlimited potential. So; as a gift all of you who have <i>embraced</i> the idea of my world have been given a bit of a starting present. Remember; there are no laws in the big bad world out there. You choose how to behave from now on. So enjoy your gift and remember; go find some quests. If you don't have power; you don't have anything."</span><br/><br/>Jason blinked in confusion and set the scroll down. He figured that it came from whomever had put that huge notification in the sky. There was a similar scroll sitting on Penelope while she slept and he wondered if it was the same message? He didn't wake her immediately as he mentally clicked on the diamond icon.<br/><br/><b>Level 10 unlocked! Choose your abilities!</b><br/>Strength: 12<br/>Agility: 12<br/>Endurance: 16<br/>Intelligence: 10<br/>Wisdom: 10<br/>Charisma: 10<br/><br/>Unused Points: 20<br/>Level 1: Defense<i>Unlocks heavy armor</i><br/>Level 3: Choose - Melee V Ranged V Unarmed<br/>Level 6: Choose - Slash v Shield Bash<br/>Level 9: Choose - Cleave v Brace<br/><br/>Jason blinked and realized he had been given 9 free levels. It looked like he could start tailoring his gifts too. He dropped six points into Strength and the other fourteen into Endurance since his goal was to be a tank. With his Strength at 18 and his Endurance at 30 he felt like he could move forever. He shook his head as he unlocked various perks. Choosing Heavy Armor, Melee, Shield Bash and Brace; since those would all work with the play style he was considering.<br/><br/>What he hadn't expected was for the scroll to suddenly burst into neon green flames and vanish to reveal a full suit of brigandine armor; the scales looking like polished iron blanks and the leather was a bit bloody. The large kite shield was definitely a bonus though; since it looked more than big enough to block shots aimed at Penny.<br/><br/>He looked at Penelope to see if she woke up and whispered.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(255, 102, 255)">"Uh, Penny, did you get a crazy scroll?" </span>
