Star Wars: The Earthling Gamer

Chapter 9 - One Month Later...

One month later, in the hotel...

It's been a month, and we've made a good chunk of progress in everything. I've got my lightsaber mostly finished, too. I just need a lens strong enough to focus the light of the crystal, then I can finally use it without causing small explosions or fires, hopefully.

Kara's been working in room service with me, as we've been the ones responsible for quite a number of the messes here, and we get to stay long-term as payment. Hazel's been working as a cook in their kitchens to pay for her extended stay as well.

We finally made that clearing for an arena, too, and I started learning how to make training dummies for practice. Between all of that, this is what I've gained in stats and levels:

Name: Cyrus Ambrosio Elroy
Species: Human
Class: Scoundrel, Gray Jedi Consular.
Health: 300/300
FP: 380/380
Level: 22
Str: 27
Con: 31
Dex: 24
Int: 36
Wis: 39
Cha: 20(+5)

Computer Use: 25(+13 from Int) = 38
Demolitions: 15(+13 from Int) = 28
Stealth: 34(+7 from Dex) = 41
Awareness: 36(+14 from Wis) = 50
Persuade: 40(+5 from Cha, +2 from the Echo title) = 47
Repair: 27(+13 from Int) = 40
Security: 28(+14 from Wis) = 42
Treat Injury: 42(+14 from Wis) = 56

My stat growth is impressive, really. I even evolved some powers and abilities, as well as developed a few, too.

Power Evolved!
Heal - Master Heal: When you trigger this power, your allies recover HP equivalent to ⅔ of the used FP in the power, and are cured of all status ailments similar to poison, paralysis, and fatigue.
FP Cost: Varies in cost.

Crafting, Level 14: With enough practice, you've developed a knack for making your own tools, to keep yourself alive and safe. With enough focus and FP, who knows what you can make?

Power Evolved!
Improved Revitalize - Master Revitalize: When you trigger this power on someone recently deceased, they can rise from the dead, the amount of HP and FP you bestow to them multiplied by x2.
Cost: 10 HP and 10 FP minimum.

New Power Unlocked!
Burst of Speed: When you use this power, you'll unleash your inner speedster, and your speed will increase by x1.2, for as long as you can sustain it.
FP Cost: 50 FP per minute.

Force Levitation, Level 26: When you trigger this ability, you will be able to move around the targeted object with your mind, the heavier the object or being, the higher the cost.
FP cost: 1 x weight in pounds every two minutes.

That last one was an incredible leap, but considering how often I used it in everyday life, it isn't too surprising. We've been planning on moving out to some apartment before we did deeper digging on other Empowered, as we'd dubbed the possible other superpowered people that might exist.

If we could get a home before we started bringing other people like us in, that might be nice, you know? But anyways, right now, I'm getting ready to train with Kara and Hazel, and they'd started acting closer, sharing knowing glances, joking around like they'd known each other for years, which they very well might have, considering how they knew each other online for who knows how long.

We started walking to our clearing, and I assumed my still-awkward battle stance, not drawing my vibroblade yet. Hazel stepped opposite of me, assuming a slightly more elaborate stance, a vibroblade of her own design materializing from her inventory. Her eyes darted over me, reading my stance, while I stood almost shockingly still, waiting for her move.
