1.10

  George had been experiencing a roller coaster of emotions throughout the day. It had started with excitement when a blue screen popped up in front of his face this morning as he woke up. George had been a nerd since his birth in 1970, starting with fantasy books and D&D, and had kept up with most of the trends in nerd culture continuing to this day. As he remembered some of the apocalyptical stories that followed the introduction of a System to Earth, though, his mood took a pretty big swing into anxiety. After waiting a few minutes after the message welcoming him to the System and not receiving a warning about any grace period or extreme danger coming to his world, George decided to be a bit optimistic and hope this was just some paradigm change. He knew his wife Karen could sense his turmoil, but he chose not to share what he was seeing because she had yet to mention anything about blue screens, and George wasn't entirely sure that what he was seeing wasn't some wishful hallucination. Either way, he still had work that day, so he might as well get started on his morning routine.

  As he had breakfast and went for his morning shower, he tried thinking Status and was surprised when one appeared in front of his face.

  George was happy to see that his race was defined as human. Both as a bit of confirmation that he wasn't some species of alien and because he didn't want to think what conflicts and beliefs could arrive by some foolish people seeing their "race" more concretely defined than just basic human. By focusing on some of his stat sheet areas, he could bring up tooltips about the different parts.

  George tried to see his Skills but was told that the System had yet to see any of his Skills in action enough to rate them appropriately. He was also informed that due to this, he also would not be able to select any Classes or Professions yet, but they would be available once his Skills were evaluated. He also learned that one Class and one Profession could be equipped at a time. Classes and Professions can only be switched once per day, but there was no limit to the number of Classes or Professions that could be obtained. However, the Class or Profession level would only be unlocked or updated once it was equipped, so there would have to be some planning involved when switching Classes or Professions, as each Class and Profession gave their unique benefits and abilities. George was pretty excited to see what the rest of the day would bring, as he figured that doing his job as a Bus Driver would allow the System to evaluate some of his Skills and unlock some Classes and Professions for him. George had an inkling that even possessing the System was going to improve his life in a couple of ways.
