The awakened gamer in a hero's world

A heroic start

Journal - Day 1

I kept a journal back before I died, so I feel like it would be a good idea to do so in this life as well. It'll be a good idea to log my progress for future me to look back on.

So, I'm halfway through my first day of being a gamer for the system and I think I messed up with my class selection. Sure given the circumstances it seemed like the best option, but I almost ran out of MP in my first big fight.

Just to clarify, my first big fight was against a horde of around 17 zombies (I didn't get a very good look at the entire horde, so I could be wrong) and if it weren't for the MP refill from leveling up I definitely would have ran out midway through the battle.

Good news though, I got my first few level ups! I haven't decided where to put the stat points yet, but I'm thinking of tossing it into either WIS for the MP regen or INT for the max MP. I might just wait and see if there are any other ways of getting stat increases first though, to save my points for another time.

Side note: I am so glad the system lets me see the formulas for HP, MP, and their respective regen rates on my stat sheet so I'm not just blindly guessing.

I'm thinking of doing some push-ups or reading a book to try and up my STR and INT stats first. If I can get stat increases from something other than my stat points, I'll just horde them for the rest of time.

Speaking of getting stuff, this staff is pretty nice. I messed around with it for a while, and I think I can get an extra 7 or so Mana bolts out. I also need a new spell, Mana bolt is good but I want something better. Maybe I should try to make a shield-type spell? I'll look into it later.

That reminds me, I looked into the descriptions of my skills and found out Mana sense only allows me to use sense-type spells and increases MP regen by 25%, it doesn't let me sense mana by itself sadly. Still a nice passive though.

Maybe that should be my next spell? It would be nice to have a way of sensing

*Knock knock!*

Ash's head snapped away from the book she was writing in and towards the door, where someone had knocked. She quickly got up and opened the door a smidge to peek out and see who was knocking.

It didn't seem like anyone was around, but when she looked down she saw a small package with the UA logo on top. She quickly grabbed the small letter and brought it inside while closing the door.

Inside of the envelope was a map of the school grounds along with a small disc which Ash immediately recognized. She placed the disc on the small coffee table in front of her couch and hit the button in the center.

"Hello Ash!" All Might appeared on the screen, his usual smile plastered on his face. "This message has been sent to let you know that you have been accepted into UA through official recommendation by the principal himself!"

"Nezu recommended me?" Ash asked herself with a small head tilt. "That's a surprise, I was expecting I would have to go through the combat test like everyone else."

"Next week testing will begin to see who will enter UA, I hope to see you with the other recommended students young Ash!" The video cut out once All Might finished talking, and Ash was left alone with her thoughts.

"Hm... I suppose I can just ask him when school starts." Ash brushed it off for now, leaving it to her future self to figure out. She reached over and fully opened the map she got, ready to memorize some of the school layout.
