'Ring ring', that's the sound he's waiting for. To wake up, do the chores, and go to school.
But it seemed like the notification wasn't gonna make a sound any time soon. Scared that he accidentally didn't make an alarm, he opened his eyes.
But not even seconds later, his heart skips a beat. He's scared. It's dark. Yet still, he can barely see. He stood up. He spun, each wall seemingly hundreds of feet away.
The walls painted a color of velvet red, despite being in the dark, the vibrant colors could be seen.
Where was he? That was his first thought. Knowing that the alarm didn't even sound yet, this could only be a dream.
'Calm down. I'll be guiding you. Stand straight and breathe.' He hears an unfamiliar voice. He looked behind him, everywhere really, to see who spoke to his ear. Nothing. No one.
'I can't be seen. I'm in your mind. I'm a part of you. You're very own guide. Calm down so we can get started.' He couldn't understand anything the womanly voice spoke off. He only heard gibberish.
This could be a part of the dream- random words, seeing red velvet even while being in the dark; it was all supernatural. That can't happen, especially in real life.
Looking paranoid, it took a few moments before the womanly voice spoke again. But in a different language.
'You must understand my language now. Considering that I've dived through your mind to find a language fit so we both can communicate.' The voice spoke in English, and it surprised the little youthful boy.
The boy doesn't primarily speak English, but he learned enough to understand. Now he unconsciously responded with his home language.
"Kinsa ka? Nganong naa man ko diri. Aha ka?" The boy, curious to know where he is. And who the voice is. And where it is.
Youthful dreams. The best dream anyone can get.
'You've been reincarnated into another world. With a name unknown. Many people here are refered as warriors, mages, tanks, marksmen, healers, and so on. Mages can be called elementalists due to their nature of being able to control the multiple elements of the world-'
To be reincarnated into another world, into a fantasy. To think that you can be the hero of a whole new world brings an unexplainable kind of excitement.
"Hold on! Introduce them one at a time. Start with the warriors!" He shouts embarrassingly. He's not fond of speaking English because of his wonky accent. Yet he had to.
Now he's fueled up, his voice stiff and his accent better than before. Embarrassed, it's all part of the act. Now that he's introduced to titles, his smile reached even his ears.
'Very well. Warriors in this world are often referred to as brutes. Since they are people who often use brute force to fight an opponent. These people are usually seen as fists fighters, since they use their knuckles to brute themselves towards their opponent. If they get damaged, they would not care since they take it in and use it to their advantage. Take for example, you're fighting a warrior. You punch him in the face. But that didn't matter since he used it as an advantage to grab your arm, locking you in and punching your face.'
A brute example. One he isn't fond of. Being taken advantage and receiving a punch on the face, it isn't any different than taking one in the gut.
"So, you're saying that they're like tanks, being able to fight fearlessly without caring for their well being?"
'Not exactly. Tanks analyze the situation they're in, and consider whenever they could take a hit or not. Whoever, for brutes, even when they are hurt, they risk it all for a single blow. They take in the pain and continue to fight. They won't back down until they win. Or die.'
"Okay.. so are there anything else I should know about?"
'There are categories in each role. We will start with warriors. Each one will be stated using the limited knowledge that you have.
•Warriors are placed into different categories. Take note that a warriors nature is to be brute if any means necessary.
>First are Brute Warriors.
•These are the kind of warriors that by any means use brute force if possible. It involves them using any kind of weapon; even the ones that they've seen for the first time. For them, expertise does not matter. Because for them, strength is better than technique.

Warriors are supposed to be more defined, yet, to know that there are brutes that would risk their lives just for victory brings him goosebumps.
At the start, the youthful boy was particularly enthusiastic to know more about the different kind of warriors. Only to be hit with an unknown error out of nowhere.
But those are parts of a dream. Seemingly smooth and going bland out of the rough.
"That's weird. So, according to my knowledge, I'm a brute? Since that's the only thing I'm seeing here!"
Even he fondly remembers. This dream is going foggy, because his memories are starting to fade away.
It's said that dreams make you forget the concept of reality, meaning that you could start flying out of nowhere. Making you think that you had that ability in the first place.
The youthful boy, more eager about the titles. He completely forgot the state he was in. Stranded in a seemingly large castle.
But not even moments later, the voice abruptly interrupts his thoughts and told him to say "Stats" to check the current abilities or what state he had.
The eager boy, curious to know more, didn't hesitate and shouts "Stats!", causing the place to echo.

「That is your current Status. Ask any questions.」'
The boy gasped as his head ached with knowledge he already knew. Seemingly confused.
A human body has the physical ability to attribute to it's hosts specialty. And skills are no exceptions. However..
"What the hell?! All that head ache for nothing? I know my limits, and I know I'm bad. You didn't have to state it out. However, I am curious. My MP, Health, whatever there is high. But my Attack, is only 5? Won't you care to explain?"
'Health, MP, Attack, Defense are all a part of your bodies function. The three, Health, MP, and Defense are in the hundreds because it displays percentage. However, for Attack, it is not scaled on percentage but rather on levels. Your Health, MP, and Defense cannot be scaled as a level right now due to it being extremely shallow. As a level would count as a thousand. But the highest percentage you currently have is the Durability. But fear not, these percentage are higher than you think. In comparison, think about going a hundred percent, your limit. But surpassing that allowed you to go to 600, which is a huge margin. It's comparison is as follows: Sprinting with a hundred percent, but surpassing that limit and going 600.'
'It's not clear at what percentage you're attack could be. And because it's level 5, it could be strictly 5k. But the chances of it being five thousand and four hundred and so on and so fourth are also possible.'
"I've heard of it before, mana! It's like the stats I get when playing a fantasy game.. and considering your statement, I must be strong. Real strong! I know how HP, Attack and Durability works. But I don't see how I can use mana. Don't I need a skill that's straight up super natural? Like, fire! Water! Earth! The elementals!"
'Someone already has that title. [Elementalist]. They were blessed by the Gods of nature, seeing as the mage was fit to carry the burden of holding onto nature's gift.

Mages are often known for their incredible power over the elementals. However, to know that someone was blessed by a God to posses all these power was a complete shock to him. It was like getting shocked by a thunder bolt.
"Where did you pull that out.. are you telling me you have the power to know everything this world has to offer?"
The voice acted as a Guide, that's true. But knowing that it pulled out seemingly crucial information out of nowhere brought him confusion.
But the more the boy thought about it, the more he understood. It knew about Brute Warriors, so it should be no surprise it knows about a Blessed elementalist, too.
But as he opened his mouth to ask a question, foot steps could be heard. Shackling of an iron armor echoed in the dark.
