Skill Forge: Broken Extra Character

The WAR BOUND series comprised two games: a VR version and a console version. While the majority of players indulged in the VR edition, gaming fanatics like Jett and his sister played both. The console version drew heavily from the book's concepts but also introduced unique elements not found in the original story. With only 14 characters to choose from and a linear storyline, it offered a different gaming experience.

Moreover, it harbored secrets that players were constantly trying to uncover, including hidden quests, items, dungeons, locations, and bosses—some borrowed from the book and others entirely new. Additionally, the game contained hidden bugs or procedures that could trigger unexpected events, adding to its allure. Jett and his sister were often the source of tips and strategies within the gaming community.

In the WAR BOUND games, the narrative focused on the classes rather than individual heroes, often overlooking specific details about the characters. Certain events and achievements could only be unlocked with the right class or character, limiting players' progress.

However, Jett took it upon himself to master all the characters and classes, a feat that no one else attempted or achieved. By doing so, he gained insights and accomplishments across all classes, uncovering secrets that even the developers were privy to. Now, armed with this extensive knowledge, he was ready to put it to the test in the game world.

The burning and freezing sensations tormented Jett, his breathing slowing down as he struggled against the effects of the poison. Activating his [Heaven's Blessing] skill offered temporary relief, but the torment persisted. With the poison still coursing through his veins, he activated [Quick Heal], a skill he was lucky enough to have obtained from a passing adventurer. However, its effects were short-lived, leaving him feeling desperate and uncertain.

Doubts crept into his mind as he wondered if he had miscalculated, realizing the gravity of his situation. Succumbing to the overwhelming pain and exhaustion, he collapsed, fearing he might meet his end in a futile attempt at experimentation.

[Obtained Fire Resistance... 2.05%]

[Obtained Cold Resistance 2.05%]

[Obtained Poison Resistance 1.50%]

[Obtained Pain Resistance 0.05%]

As Jett slowly regained consciousness, he was greeted by a series of status notifications detailing his newfound resistances. Despite his weakened state, a smile tugged at his lips as he marveled at the unexpected outcome.

"I can't believe that worked," he thought to himself, pondering the implications of his success. The additional pain resistance was a welcome surprise, prompting him to speculate whether it was a result of his luck. In his original plan, he had aimed for resistance in only three areas, making the pain resistance an unexpected bonus. Drawing from his knowledge of WAR BOUND, both in the game and from the books, he recognized the significance of his achievement.

After what felt like an eternity, Jett finally regained enough strength to move, slowly rising to his feet. Unbeknownst to him, he had spent the entire night incapacitated by his experiment. As he prepared to retire to bed, a maid entered the room, reminding him of his impending training session with his father.

Honestly speaking, I do agree that my writing is bland and confusing. At some point it'll look like I don't know what I'm writing.

Using the excuse that this is my first book is pathetic but I want to learn and get better at this and I hope you'll all be there to see me progress.
