*Thud !*
"Ow.." I've been rudely awakened from my na… *erhem* .. I meant I was rudely snapped out of my intense focusing session.
Why exactly have I fallen to the ground? Well of course the GIANT ROCK somehow fell off the cliff while I was slee-… Intensely focusing.
*CRASHHH!!* The ground shook below me as I winced.

…
"Of course.." I drop to my knees
How could I be so stupid, oh forgive me for I lacked faith… oh how much faith I lacked… Truck-kun… to think I was going to curse you for the rest of the entirety.
This has to be Isflord, my very own iseaki! I mean why would I even think I was in hell with all the good deeds I've done, like ummmm… like that one time I…uhhh.. OH! I got it that one time.. oh wait no… mmmm. WELL no matter, I have way more IMPORTANT things to focus on!
This changes everything, judging by the name on my status and this body difference I can safely assume I've turned into my Isflord character. ( I'll have to truly check when I get the chance ) Wait a minute… If this is the case then that means!

"I knew it!"
WAIT!… Why are there still question marks… I know it said it would be random but surely it would tell me by now. How am I going to use my gift if I have no idea what it even is!
"Activate Gift!"
"Gift!"
"Use Gift!"
"Open Gift!"
"Aqcuire Gift!"
"Consume Gift!"
"Pretty Please Activate Gift!"
Clicking on it did nothing either..I fall backwards and sit down in defeat, "well just my luck I guess."
I begin scrolling through my status tab… "2.4 MILLION EXP!!" If I had a drink I'd be spitting it out right about now.
oh wow… I kinda forgot I made myself level 1… I should probably fix that..
After spending some time looking through all my upgrade options and trying to find any new information I ended off with this.

Well I'm still a little lost on how some of this scaling and ranking really works, but I didn't just mindlessly upgrade, while I may not be the smartest I do take my games very seriously. As such, through my research I've realized a few key things.
Each level-up increases my Health, Stamina, and Mana by around 3%, and my Intelligence, Endurance, Strength, and Speed, all increase by a flat 1 each level-up.
I figured this out by leveling up one level at a time, my health went from 103, 106, 109, to 113. At the start I thought it was simply increasing by a flat rate of three each level up but by the fourth level up I realized it was in fact going up by a percentage with the left over decimals finally adding up by the fourth upgrade. So instead of it being 112, it went to 113. I further confirmed this by continuing to upgrade, granted I could be wrong since I don't really have a calculator on hand to confirm. But since I started a 100 base health, one level up putting me at 103 would mean the percentage increase would be around three-point something.
Another thing I noticed was,
All of my Unique Abilities and Skills went up in rarity after maxing them out. They seem to have gone up by one level of rarity. And I'm assuming, Almighty is the highest rarity since, well I mean… It's all shiny and stuff…
Also each ability / skill costs 50k EXP to level up with an additional 25k EXP per level up, so 50k, 75k, and 100k. Bringing the total to 225k EXP per ability / skill to be maxed out.
My gift remained a mystery even with all the extra leveling up. My only hope is that it's some sort of passive that's already activated otherwise I may have lost out big time on that one. I'm also pretty sure each level costs 500 more EXP than the last, I was too lazy to actually confirm, I mean can you really blame me I wasn't going to keep track for all 84 levels.
Well while all that is important, there was a bigger issue at hand…
What do I do now?
You see, as I mentioned before. Isflord uses AI to give every player free-reign with completely unique and personalized gameplay and story progression. So in simpler terms, I have no idea how to progress, I don't have a story line I can just stick to. Nor do I really know anything about this world or really anything about this game. I mean sure I watched the trailers a million times but you know it's not like they're going to spoil the entire game.
So in other words… I have no idea what to do now…
I mean I guess at this point, the only thing I can do is make the most out of this once in a lifetime experience and enjoy it to the fullest…. IS WHAT I WOULD BE SAYING IF THIS WASN'T A SOULS-LIKE GAME!!!
"I'm so screwwweedddddd!! It's so over for me… I'm going to die again.."
I begin to crawl up holding onto my legs; rolling around the ground.
"hahaha…ha" I stare up into the sky, my body spread out as if in the middle of making a snow angel.
