Avatar: Awakened Gamer

Chapter 3: Fishy Fish

….
As I went fishing, I tried many different skills from the Gamer Comic that I had read in my previous life. Skills like ID Create or Mana Bolt, neither of them worked, and that was when I came to an understanding.

The Gamer can't go beyond the world's boundaries, currently, I was in a Bending World, I can't start using magic out of nowhere. MP also doesn't seem to signify anything like Mana in which spells are cast, but more along the lines of Chi, also known as the internal energy of the Avatar world. A Gamer will always play within the rules of the world, though they can be grossly overpowered with a high enough level in Skills.

Fishing wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, in 40 minutes I was able to catch only one, I was also using a spear to do it so that was harder. Then my bad luck kicked in and I was soaked in the cold water as I suddenly slipped, but I thankfully was able to catch one fish, which was enough to complete the quest. The fish was also quite big so I hoped that would help me with the quest to get better results.

[You killed a big Fish and got 2 Exp]

That brought the percentage needed for the next level from 0% to 2%... meaning that I need 98 more Exp to level up.

Also, I got some new skills, so this endeavor was quite useful. I checked on the new skills.

<Fishing> (Passive) Lvl 1 Exp: 8.3%
A technique to fish. With greater mastery, you can clean fish better and with more skill. 5% increase in the chance of catching a fish.

<Spear Mastery> (Passive) Lvl 2 Exp: 6.5%
Allows the user to freely handle spears. 15% increase in attack damage with spears. 6% in attack speed with a spear.

<Swimming> (Passive) Lvl 3 Exp: 4.5%
A technique to swim. With greater mastery, you can swim faster and in any liquid. 15% increase in swimming speed.

Quite nice, now I just need to try and catch some more fish for Exp. Also, I still have more than two hours left in the quest with Tiga.

I caught four more fish and decided to call it a day, I still had half an hour before the Quest was over so there was that too. I looked around and saw that no one was here, but I still decided to sneakily put two fish in my inventory.

After returning with three fish, I gave her one and she thanked me.

"Here is something for your troubles." She tried to give me some money.

"Thank you, mam, but you can keep your money." I told her politely, "We might not have much and there might not be many of us in the tribe. But we are like family."

After saying that I smiled at the woman as some tears dropped from her eyes as I walked away. Welp, any South Water Tribe money would be useless once I am out of here anyway, this place had an almost nonexistent economy on the outside market so the coin at best would hold a very low value… of course if one can find a place that would even accept this currency.

Next, I went and gathered some of the kids playing in the village and cooked the rest of the fish that I had in my hands. They liked it and surprisingly were good enough to thank me. Sheesh, what polite kids.

"Anyway, don't forget that you are protectors of the tribe now. So listen to your parents okay?" I advised the kids as I waved them off, the darkness was settling over today. I doubt that I need to sleep with Gamer's Body, but if I wasn't in my tent then gran-gran would probably get worried. And so would Katara.

Went back home and brought the two fish out of my inventory. The igloo which we lived in was small and it only had a small fire in the middle, it seemed like something was cooking.
