[ WP ] It suddenly becomes possible to gain XP and level up in the real world , but you can only do so by getting kills .

Its been like this for years. The kill counters were granted to us by the gods. Each life was worth an objective ammount. This is XP. Levels require an ammount of xp equal to the previous levels ammount + 10 %. The starting ammount every person needs to reach level two is 1000xp. A common housefly is worth 1xp. We quickly figured out a way to tell whether a persons level was based in peace or war based on thier kill count compared to thier level. All kills due to natural causes/ natural disasters were attributed to the earth, its number was visible to all living things just by looking straight down. A constant reminder to remain humble, thats what my father taught me. He and my mother were military, and they drilled it into me that your level is not something to be proud of. `` It is n't a shame to you either. It is only what it is. A representation of survival, a tally marker of suffering. Be it yours or annothers.'' He stressed that there was no shame in ones level. He did this over and over. I was. Born level ten due to my mothers untimely death during childbirth. It wasnt unheard of for babies to be born two or three but for me to be ten was due to how much xp she had accrued during her own life. The level of a living thing alters the ammount it is worth in death. Father is an avid hunter and took me many times in order to alleviate some of my level issues. So i wouldnt have to explain to every new person i meet in life that my mothers death is mine to bear. On one trip i got to learn something special, the higher an animals level the further away you can see its level. We saw a number charging at us throught the trees, being 15 at the time all i saw was a skull, a warning to the lower leveled amongst us to be afraid of a hostile target. My father said it was seventy five. The number is too high for its fresh brown fur to hide, this bear was a manslayer. Never one to back down from a challenge i foolishly raised my rifle. As the shot i had lined up in my mind matched the one my eyes were showing me, the rifle was snatched up and away by my father. Swinging hard into the bears face with the butt of the gun he deftly moved in close with his bowie knife. It glowed in his hands, for anyone else this move was insane. For him it was as quick and easy to butcher that bear as it was to scratch his ass and yawn. He told me that day that every 100 levels youre granted an ability point, the high council frowned on using your abilities in public if they werent for healing. On the night i passed level 100 due to our hunting exploits i described the names of the abilities that were available to me. `` Decisive strike, the one he used to save me. An active class ability available to those who have at least one human kill.'' An inheritance my mother left me i suppose. `` healing light, a mid ranged ability available to be gifted to non-100 persons with no human kills.'' I had seen doctors use that all the time. It took me several minutes to get through the list. At the very bottom one stood out. `` Unique Passive: Blessing of the World'' as i read the words my father turned white. `` What could that even mean?? Is there a description alongside it?'' `` No.'' i replied. `` We have to consult the high council on this one, get in the car.'' `` Sure...'' I said as i brought up the menu behind my back. As he made it out the front door i selected and confirmed it. Nothing happened, and still it remained there on my stats `` Unique Passive: Blessing of the World.'' During the car ride the radio cut to the news: `` As many of have seen the counter we know to be owned by the earth itself has dissapeared. We are unsure what this means for the future.'' `` To begin with the high council has released statements assuring us that the world is not dead nor can it ever die as it was never alive to begin with.'' As we stood out onto the steps of the capital building the concrete shattered beneath me. I fell only for a moment. A hand reached up to cushion me. Rising from the hole in the ground my new acquaintance and i were met immediately by more guards than you would think could fit in the capital building. Behind the fearful agitated crowd i locked eyes with the leader of the high council. He wasnt afraid. The earth and stone golem turned to me and opened its mouth. To anyone but me it was only the sound of rumbling stone. What i heard it say was as astounding to me as it was to anyone who i would go on to tell: `` You have been chosen as my successor, all that was once mine is now yours, all that will be yours will be that of the earth.'' It glowed blue and green as cracks appeared on its surface. As it crumbled before me i was invigorated. Checking my stats page revealed that my level was no longer a number but a star. I had been appointed the new god of the earth. The councilman beckoned me over. My father gave me a strange look and told me i shouldnt keep him waiting.
