Chapter-4-God Lost Avatar part 1
Timber walked towards the door with a smile mentally to the point of collapse, but remained standing his will was what led him to not sleep for 42 hours in real life and working with wood for 7 days in virtual reality. On the morning of the fifth day Timber obtained the skill Mastery Carpentry and to his surprise the skill started in Level 7 giving him a day and a half to take the skill from beginner to intermediate.
Timber stood in front of Madame Clotild and said. “Show Mastery Carpentry Skill to Madame Clotild”
“I need to rest. After I will come for my reward” Timber Said before leaving the game.
Timber returned to find his reward after two days of rest in the reality
“I thought it was impossible but you did it. Together with the ax you will become the last known successor, of the true art of carpentry.” Said Madame Clotild delivering a box and a letter to Timber
*I did not win many levels to be a A level Quest but the money makes up*
Touching letter this shine and a strong voice that gave the impression of a true master said.
“If you hear this means that you learned the true art of carpentry and like my teacher and his predecessors. I'll give you an ax and a test, looks for my 4 descendants”
“I will fulfill the tests” Said Timber
“Where I can find their children, Madame Clotild”
“I have no children” Said Madame Clotild
“What”
“I mean, Raymond and I adopt and raise four children. Ivar, Greta, Bow Hand and Eruiel but I hate when they call me mother. So they tell me Aunt. You already know Ivar, Greta is the leader of the Merchant Guild, Bow Hand is the leader of the guild of hunters and Eruiel is responsible for the city library.”
Before leaving to complete the tests, Timber opened the box in it there was a book that taught the identification skill and wooden ax which Timber after several attempts was able to identify.
~Forest~
*what was that* Timber thought while holding the ax in his hand
When Timber was walking out the door Madame Clotild said.
“You should first go to the library, and do not say you're hungry in front of Eruiel”
Timber followed the advice of Madame Clotild and went to the library in the lobby he found a female elf focused reading a cookbook.
“Excuse me, I'm looking for Eruiel”
The elf looked up and upon seeing the ax, said.
“I am Eruiel, if you have the ax, means that you come to take the test”
“Yes”
“Take this and make yourself comfortable, I'll go find the books, the test is that you read all the books that I will bring.” Eruiel said giving a library card to Timber.
Timber sat at a table in a corner and wait. After 30 minutes Eruiel appeared with a cart full of books and said.
“This is the first part, Read them while I search the other books”
* There are over 50 books and is only the first part! Thank goodness I enjoy reading * Timber thought
After 8 hours reading Timber got up from his seat to get something to eat when he was stopped by Eruiel.
“Hungry? I'll fix you something to eat do not stop reading” Eruiel said with a smile, almost as if waiting to show his skill in the kitchen.
In 2 minutes Timber had a plate with something like rice. The food was worse than barley bread; Timber nearly lost his tongue on the first bite but Timber said nothing and continued eating. All for the sake of completing the quest
* So that's why Eruiel should not find out about my hunger. If I say anything about the food I probably fail the test * Timber thought
3 RL days after, Timber finished reading the first 50 books that were mostly about famous forests. Timber also obtained the skill Photographic Memory and the Sustenance stat.
After another four days in RL. Because many times Timber was poisoned by the food he put all his no appointed stats on Vitality. Timber stats raise a lot especially Intellect, Wisdom, Sustenance, Concentration and he even gained a new stat.
When Timber completed the test, Timber has already read 350 books with information about forest, trees, types of wood, how preserve the wood and more.
“Very well with this you complete the test. If you ever need to read or eat something you can come back here. You should go with Greta she will be waiting for you” Eruiel said.
Walking in the streets on his way to the Merchant Guild Timber took notice that the people of the city no walked away from him like before and that some even greet him.
In the Merchant Guild, Timber asked to the receptionist to speak to Greta but the receptionist said.
“You have an appointment?”
“Not but”
“You do not look to be a merchant and you have zero fame, go away before I call the guards” said the receptionist.
Timber turned his back to the receptionist and was about to leave when a scream pierced his ears.
“Wait, you must be Timber” said a voice at the top of the stairs to the second floor
Timber turned his back again and watched what appeared to be a female copy of Ivar, the only difference was his eyes and pronounced female body.
“I am Greta, apologies for the behavior of my employee, I think she could use some time in the department of transportation”
The receptionist's face turned pale on hearing about the transportation department.
“About the test, I want you to be the temporal head of the department of transportation” Greta Said
“What means to be the head of the department of transportation?” Timber asked.
“As chief, you will have three employees, you must deliver all packets in the warehouse and must also repair all damaged packages” Greta Said
* More work, at least this time I have help * Timber thought
“I will be the head of the department of transportation”
“Ok, follow me. Gina you also come with us” Greta said while addressing to the receptionist.
Greta guided us to a large warehouse in the back guild where two employees were playing cards.
“Form a line” Greta said
The employees and Gina formed a line side by side in front of Greta and Timber.
“Timber present here will be your new boss. State your name, position and main abilities” Greta said
“Gina, Receptionist, keep accounts and identify objects”
“Aren, Carriage driver, tame horses, repair, and driving carriages”
“Bjorn, Workman, repair, woodwork and heavy lifting”
“To work and Timber if you do not finish in two months you will have to take care of packets arriving that month” Greta said when leaving.
“Gina you can identify the damaged packages while we repair the identified items” Timber said
“Do it by your own” Gina said
“Let us finish this game man” Bjorn said while taking the cards and sit at the table next to Aren.
Timber had zero Leadership so his employees do not follow his orders
* As my grandfather would say if you cannot catch a fish with your hands then use a net* Timber thought
“I will give you 35 gold if we completed the work in a month and I will give you 15 pieces of silver for each work week” Timber said
Without having to repeat Timber speech twice, the employees began to work as if their life depended on it.
In the first week Timber and his employees repaired and classified all packages which were mostly made of wood from toys, bookcases, signs, barrels and more. Timber improved the caravan of the guild and also built another 3. Due to having to pick up many heavy packages Timber Leadership, Strength, Vitality, Endurance and Sustenance stats rise.
By the end of the third week all packages were delivered and all employees received their gold
“Amazing, I thought that I could have you working longer, here is your pay” Greta said
“Take this bow and give it to Bow Hand and buy some health potions before going with Bow Hand”
Thanks to the package deliveries Timber already knew the city like the palm of his hand so it was not difficult to find the store and buy some potions.
When Timber approached the building of the Guild of Hunters he could see something in the shooting range, a small figure was shooting arrows to the air but instead of fall in the ground all the arrows were landing in the target. Close enough Timber could see that the small figure was a dwarf. Then a idea took form in the mind of Timber
*Bow Hand is a dwarf name* Timber thought
“Sorry to interrupt, I have a package for Bow Hand” Timber said while entering to the shooting range
The dwarf then turned to see who spoke and when looked the bow in Timber hands he ran to meet him.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
“I am Bow Hand and that must be my new bow” The dwarf said
“Yes” Timber said delivering the bow and showing the ax
“So you come to take the test, take this” Bow Hand said giving a piece of black wood to Timber
“You must carve a wolf without dying” Bow Hand said
“I will not die” Timber said while a arrow pass to his side
Timber took more than five minutes to make a mark on the wood after 2 hours his stats began to raise Agility, Endurance, Sustenance, Awareness, Concentration and Strength. The first and the last twice as much as the others because he had to dodge attacks while he was also applying all his strength to carve the wood.
Timber kept wondering how much stamina Bow Hand had after 18 hours and the dwarf still was shooting arrows like nothing
A wolf is not very difficult to carve but carve a tough wood while one is being shot with arrows is a difficult task. Two days and the wood looked like a wolf but it was not until the morning of the third day that the system recognized the shape and the arrows stop flying.
“I wanted to keep shooting, you know you are an excellent target. You can have the statue, and say to Ivar that I shall give him the gold on Monday” Bow Hand said
* Now I only need to pass the test of Ivar * Timber thought
“not only did you manage to get the ax but you completed three tests and I'm impressed after all each test is equivalent to 30 levels as the basic training, except my test , my test is equivalent to 90 levels.” Ivar said
“But do not worry you already passed the first part when I train you. So now the test is equivalent to 60 levels.” Ivar continued ignoring the worried face of Timber
“To pass the test you have to create baskets using a root found in the burrow of rabbits around the city wall and make sure not to kill the rabbits when it is exposed to blood the root is ruined” Ivar said
“Yes, I can finally go outside the city” Timber said.
Timber was walking towards the outskirts of the city with no idea of the dangers of the north. The cold is not a problem thanks to the climatic changes of the last years. The main problem of those newbies starting in the north is the level of the monsters for example a wolf in the central of the continent is at least of level 5 but in the north a wolf is level 40 at least. Of course that in other villages their leaders solved the problem by killing monsters very often increasing the security of their land and in turn lowering the level of the local population of monsters another method was to buffed the newbies with the help from art works, the church, druids or shamans.
But the problems of the north were are pronounced in WoodFort because the discovers of the city were Dark Gamers that instead of conquer the city, were using it as part of a business which consisted in charge a large sum of money per a fast leveling program but when the war erupted the Dark Gamers changed his plans they took all the NPCs that could be convinced of leaving the city to be use as meat shield at the same time that they transferred their business to a better location. Leaving WoodFort infested with high level monsters and without a proper army, teachers or even craftsmen to create weapons, all NPCs that remained in the city were barely enough to protect the city from the monsters and feed the citizens
The rabbits the being more harmless of all the beasts in RR in the north they were few except in WoodFort a number of events took place to create the heaven of rabbits and the hell for beginner users. The first event was the heat wave in the north, allowing to rabbits live and multiply easily creating small armies of cute little monsters level 15. The second event was the extermination of natural predators of rabbits by the Dark Gamers that only hunted wolves, bears, and higher level monsters that give more money and so rabbits became in natural predators of level 30 or more. The last event was the departure of the Dark Gamers and the return of predators, the forest war is a history for another time only the winners matter the rabbits are now the leaders in the forest with a minimum level 60 and maximum level 140
Timber had to return to the city to buy thermal clothing he grew up in a place with low temperatures but he always hated the cold and although in the RR forums were saying that the cold in the north was endurable they no say nothing about the Northwest. After spending almost 2000 gold coins in clothes with cold resistance and little defense, As Timber was about to cross the gates the guards said.
“The Battalion Chief Ivar told us about you test and that you can’t return to the city until you finish the test”
* Then I must finish before starve to death or I will end eating grass which surely tastes better than food cooked by Eruiel * Timber thought
Timber began his search for rabbits after 5 minutes he found one and followed him after other 3 minutes Timber found the burrow on it there were at least 50 rabbits.
* With my stats, level and armor, the rabbits sure could not kill me.
I should take the root and get out as fast as possible without killing rabbits, but if they corner me, I need a distraction *
Timber took a branch and sculpted a carrot then he threw it close to the rabbits and while the rabbits approached to the carrot he ran to the burrow inside he found 4 rabbits and 2 roots which he took before running out until that there was any rabbit in sight.
Timber almost died in his first incursion into the rabbit's burrow, Timber health was less than 20%. In the following days Timber raised his Endurance stat six times more that the others like Sustenance or Agility. And after eating some roots, herbs and grass Timber gained one skill.
Timber took over a month to finish the baskets especially because two out of five baskets built was a failed product and Timber could not recycle the materials of the failed products due to the sensitivity of the root
Ivar smiled seeing the baskets and said
“Congratulations, you're the first person outside the guild in 1000 years able to pass the test of initiation into the Guild of wooden ax”
~Forest~
~ Memories in the wood ~
~Forest~
* That voice, who is * Timber thought
~Go~
~Forest~
~Go~
~ Memories in the wood ~
“Sorry Ivar you say something” Timber said
“You must be tired, I'll talk to you later, go to the old Guild of information after you have rested” Ivar said
~Go~
~Forest~
* That voice, an ego ax maybe*
~No~
* Not a ego ax, what are you, help me God*
~I help~
~Go~
~Forest~
~ Memories in the wood ~
* God *
~dess~
* Goddess *
~YES~
~Powerless~
~ Memories in the wood ~
~Forest~
*Well, I do not lose anything by trying*
In the middle of the forest with his hands in the ax, Timber yells “Memories in the wood”
A cinematic with comments show up in Timber view, while he begins to receive feelings that do not belong to him
Nothingness, the solitude of the void
But from nowhere a thought is created
*Light*
For the first time the void was filled
*Light, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Darkness……………….LIFE*
Without notice in a blink all was born
And in the middle of all
In there was a tree the first tree
The first representation of a consciousness beyond the limits of which would be known as the lines between a god and a mortal
The first avatar and the first god fused together in the being known as the Gaia Tree
And then began the birth of all which we recognize as a living being, a being with a soul, a being capable of evolving, love, hate, and die.
Everything is, was and will be a part of a being called Gaia.
Back then, Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Orcs lived together in harmony thanks to the Gaia Tree who watched, maintains and preserves the balance without anyone knowing.
Gaia it was not the first being the true first was the void known as Chaos
Chaos attacked the Gaia Tree, but because that their powers were equal and opposite none won, both were weakened, and a dark age began with the separation of the races and the loss of balance.
In the middle of the war several beings emerge some these beings were like Gaia and Chaos but the origin of his powers was not the same those beings gained power through the faith that others deposited in them and so were born the gods
Other beings were fed with darkness and hate, and so were born the demons
And other beings were created without consciousness of themselves by Gaia but over time they evolved. They gained consciousness and decided to continue the work of its creator by protecting the balance, and so were born the elemental spirits.
Chaos fed himself with all type of separation getting stronger because the eternal war.
Gaia instead of try to get stronger she put all is force in a seed
When Chaos was about to eat all universe the Gaia Tree die, Gaia lost his form and then she became the spirit of earth.
The seed fell in the ground and grow up. its growth separated the universe in 9 big pieces and countless smaller pieces.
The gods were sent to the piece that later will be known as upperworld, the demons were sent to the underworld, and other beings were sent across the 9 big pieces that later be known as the nine realms
The tree is now known as Yggdrasil
An ash I know there stands,
Yggdrasill is its name,
a tall tree, showered
with shining loam.
From there come the dews
that drop in the valleys.
It stands forever green over
Then the scene change suddenly and now it was a forest in the middle was a pond over which a variety of lights of many colors with the form of a woman in front of her two men were in his knees.
The men of the right was tall, with wide shoulders and the complexion of someone who has worked all his life doing heavy work
The man in the left was almost identical to the man in the right, the only differences were his eyes and his complexion. The man in the left has the complexion of a scholar or a mage.
The form of a woman then began to speak.
~You brothers have proven yourselves, his commitment and strength to be my representatives in this world~
~Pólux your duties are spread my will, protect the balance and protect your brother as you always have done.
You will be the shield that protects your allies and break the bones of your enemies.
You will be the public face and militant part of my movement.
You will be my Campaigner. ~
~ Cástor your duties are spread my will, protect the balance and be my vessel in this world.
You will be the water that gives life, the fire that destroys, the earth that protects, and the wind that changes.
You will be the shadow and strategic part of my movement.
You will be my Avatar. ~
Again the scene change suddenly and now it was a cave full of monsters in front of Pólux and behind him was Castor with his robe full of blood in his hands was a woman with her chest pierced by a cursed sword.
“Please Gaia help her do not let her to die” Castor said
~I can't, there is only one way to save her, but in doing so one of you will lose your powers and the other must share with her his powers in order to combat the curse of the sword~
“Take away my powers Gaia” Pólux said
“Not Pollux, should be.”
“Shut up and listen to your big brother Castor” Pólux continue
“When Gaia carry out its magic, you and she will become the Avatar of Gaia then while I distract the monsters, you and her must run away.”
“But you will not survive without your powers” Castor said
“Gaia do it”
Then a light surrounded them and when finishing Pólux yell
“RUN”
While Castor and the girl run away Pólux block the pass to the monsters with his shield when Pólux was left alone he raised his hammer and said.
“I am a Campaigner
My shield will protect my allies and will break the bones of my enemies.
And until my death
My voice will resonate while I spread the will of Gaia
My weapon will rise to unite and not to separate.”
Then Timber returned to his senses and in front of him she was the same variety of lights of many colors with the form of a woman, Gaia
~ Timber your duties are spread my will, protect the balance, find and protect my lost Avatars.
You will be the shield that protects your allies and break the bones of your enemies.
You will be the public face and militant part of my movement.
You will be my Campaigner. ~
“Yes”
