Chronicles of the True Wizard

It took Felix just a couple of hours to make it to Icewatch, likely much less time than ‘Justin' was hoping. When he had last seen Icewatch, it was a camp of longhouses and tents surrounded by a wood wall, now it was completely gone. He checked his map and saw that Icewatch was actually in the middle of the forest, just next to Grovewatch. He spent another couple of hours tracking down the city, which it turned out, was a large longhouse on wheels. He wasn't exactly sure where Justin was but he walked up to the longhouse and opened it. There was no one inside.

Weird.

Major City

Justin has been defeated, you are victorious.

Justin has declared his surrender, and the siege is concluded. The siege may not continue as the tutorial is ending in less than 24 hours.

He was really just checking to see if I'd let it slide? Oh man, every Justin I ever meet from now on is going to wonder why I seem to hate them.

Over the next 6 hours, Felix had to prevent 3 different sieges. He made sure to use his map so he didn't accidentally fly to the wrong place again and two of them surrendered as soon as he descended from the sky. The last one, Desertwatch, required Felix walk up to the intruder, snap his fingers and create a tiny lightning bolt. The intruder then literally pissed their pants and ran. A few moments later, they surrendered.

That was a major waste of time. Thank god for the 24 hour cooldown period. Guess I spend the rest of my time trying to create an actual soul space. Don't really have anything else to do.

For fun, Felix checked his skill, class and profession screens but didn't find anything that was even worth reading. He either already knew them or was completely uninterested. For the next 24 hours, Felix attempted to open a soul space. He was still stuck on the first step though when the screen he was waiting for came.

Early Tutorial Departure

Would you like to leave the tutorial early? You may leave the tutorial at any point over the next 7 days at which point you will be forced to leave.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Felix found himself in an empty white room, the same one he had woken up inside of when the integration first began, just under four months ago. The white walls were just as harsh and blinding as he remembered them.

Hello Felix.

Hello System, it's been a while.

Not really. You have survived the tutorial.

Just barely. Wasn't sure I would make it at the end there with those last couple of sieges. After a hard fought battle though, I have come out the other side, victorious.

Calculating rewards…

Lame.

I thought it was mildly amusing. Grim said in Felix's head.

Thank you. See, this is why Grim is my favorite ‘entity I don't understand who speaks directly inside my head'.

The System didn't respond and Felix just wandered around the room, pacing out of boredom.

That is… a very large number.

Holy shit, and I thought you were rich before.

Me too.

The recommended for the final boss was what, 25k?

Yeah so if you pulled that off you got 40M each.

So the average person with a few dungeons and maybe a single boss would be at about 500k?

Something like that, without the final boss, just a couple hundred thousand.

Damn, I wonder if that's a lot in the rest of the multiverse, like outside of our ‘just integrated' universe.

Oh, yeah. Maybe you aren't super rich. Good question.

Final Boss Rewards

[D - Epic] Kraken Gear Set (Caster).

Oh nice, that's convenient. I wonder if I'm allowed to wear it yet.

Probably not.

Yeah, probably not.

Confiscated 26,713 Items

All Tutorial Credits transferred to [E] Credits at (1:1)

Confiscated? What the hell?

That's just the rest of the enchanting training stuff, right?

Oh yeah. Felix checked his inventory, Guess I didn't really need those, still could have had some use for them.

Tutorial Shop

A shop with some basic items to get integratees ready.

Felix scrolled through the shop which contained basic gear and equipment. There were some more interesting pieces, rare armor and weapons with a few epic quality pieces but they were all quite expensive. They were the kind of loot Felix had come to expect from the quest dungeons. He skipped through all of it not finding anything of value. The biggest issue was that he didn't know what was included in the Kraken Gear Set so he didn't know if he'd need anything else. Also it was all E grade so he was inclined to just pass on everything.

He almost closed the shop but noticed the other sections. There were general goods sections with rations and basic clothes as well as some prefab buildings that could be placed down, nothing interesting though. There was also a spell section, but there wasn't anything Felix didn't think he could make on his own.

The interesting section, was the skills section. It had tons of skills for each and every class and profession alongside general skills, with a convenient filter to only show compatible skills. None of them surpassed Rare rarity but Felix scrolled through them looking for anything to fill his slots. He already knew he could drop skills when he needed to so he might as well fill all of his available slots. He currently had no profession skills, a single class skill and four out of five general skills.

I really need to offload things from general skills to the other two. Issue is, I can't use most of the skills offered to me for my class or profession. For class skills, I mostly see things that help with spell list spells, not much that helps outside of that. I already tried slotting in mana speed and manipulation but those don't seem to do anything, at least for me.

In the end, he picked up another general skill: [Combat (Rare)]. There were also Uncommon and Common variants, but he figured he might as well get the highest rarity version, since he could afford it. There were also individual weapons and fighting styles, like archery and martial arts, but this skill seemed to cover all of the other ones, in a single skill. Felix figured that was likely a double edged sword but figured it didn't matter since he was a caster first and foremost anyways. For his class he picked up [Mana Sight (Uncommon)] which he suspected might be useless to him, but sounded cool anyways.

For his profession he bought [Tongues (Rare)], which let him translate almost any written work and taught him all languages up to the Rare rarity in the multiverse. He figured it might be useless, but the fact that it was available at all, worried him, he also had more than enough money so he might as well. The other skill was more useful [Crafter's Intuition (Rare)], another skill with variants at each rarity. At Rare it would allow him to see flaws and failure points in spell forms, enchantments, wards and magic contraptions before even using them for anything that would be rare or less.

He had hoped to fill all his slots and maybe pick up a few more just in case, but ultimately didn't see anything that was super worth while. There were skills like Hawk Sight which let you see further and effectively zoom in, super useful skill especially for sniping, but it was a General Skill. Those slots were just too valuable to use on something like that, plus he was pretty sure he could make a spell to do the same thing.

Faction Tokens

153,203 Faction Tokens have been added to your inventory.

List hidden for brevity.

What the hell…

Hah, I assume these are recruitment offers or something?.

I don't know, we can check afterwards.

I'll go through them now.

You can do that without me?

Yeah, and I can use you as a proxy to identify them so I don't have to interact with the system just yet.

That is… convenient. You know, you are becoming more useful each and every day. Why did I take so long to soul-bond with you?

Your rational mind resisted the evil sounding book.

Major City

As the owner of a Major City, you will be given the opportunity to found and erect a city back on earth. The first month will be a restricted time for erecting settlements, after which founding a settlement will be open to anyone. You may erect a city at the level of a Major City with the same upgrade path and choices made in the tutorial during the restricted period.

Conqueror's Bonus

As the owner of all 9 settlements in your tutorial you have been given a bonus reward. The reward varies in accordance with your other accomplishments in the tutorial.

Reward:

Alongside any Major City rights you may have, you will also be permitted to erect a single other settlement during the restricted period. This settlement may not be a Major City, but it will grant extra votes. The available options will be presented upon founding the settlement.

Votes?

World Council

As the acting leader of a Major City you have been given voting rights and are invited to attend the first world council of earth. The council will be held in 1 month, a the end of the restricted settlement founding period and then every 4 months thereafter.

As the holder of a Major City you are entitled to bring up to 3 representatives with you. You and your representatives, should they be willing, will be teleported to council chambers where you will meet with anyone else that represents a vote.

Uh… yuck? Thank god I can just send Noah, right? Or someone else. Maybe we should find someone to be the face of the town, a true politician.

I don't know if it's your seed corrupting me, but I'm starting to hate people more and more each and every day.

They suck.

Return

You have survived the tutorial, you will be returned to a planet similar to prehistoric earth. The planet is much larger than earth was and there are no buildings or infrastructure currently on the planet. There are high grade materials and enemies on the planet as well as curated dungeons. This planet has never been occupied by a sentient race and no ruins or relics have been placed upon it.

Welcome, to your new home, Trenus.
