"Since you have accepted my request, I will now introduce you to some of the features of this diary." "Wait it was a choice? You literally just threatened to send me to hell." "I never said such a thing" said Noah while whimsically chuckling under his breath. "Now, first you will design your avatar details and fill in information on this page." The diary opened and on the first page were many details that scribbled on it. Suddenly, an alluring quill with a black feather attached appeared in front of James. On it, there were words inscribed that said 'He who doesn't have high merit shall not wield me.' "Now, this is the quill of destiny, or as I like to call it, my personal torture device. The quill is surrounded by a barrier. The more intelligence you possess the higher quill will synchronize with you. The color changes according to percentage of Synchronization. The harder you try, the more you Synchronize which in turn affects the color. But you should know, if you try too hard, you might DIE from exhaustion, I am really looking forward to that. "Thanks for being a Grade A jerk this, now please GO BUY A PERSONALITY NOAH." said James which reaching out to grab hold of the quill. Their seemed to be a type of barrier around the quill. James, being as stubborn as he is, kept pushing with all his might. The quill's barrier started changing color from black (Synchronization 20%) to red (40%) to blue (60%) to purple (80%). After having nearly all his energy drained, James didn't give up. He felt like there was more, more something, more power. He pushed himself to his limits. Instantaneously, the barrier broke into pieces, shards flying in every direction. From inside, emerged the quill that James had exhausted himself trying to get. The color of the feather which was originally blue changed to shining gold while the inscription on the quill changed to SYNCHRONIZATION 100%. Below the inscription appeared the words the 'pen is mightier than the sword.' "Golden, it's nothing special" said Noah out loud to James while secretly thinking "HOLY CRAP, how the hell did this lazy moronic dumbass get the golden quill. When I was a hero, I could only turn the quill to purple before I collapsed, is he a monster?" "Now, tell me what to do next, Noah." said James with the feeling of success. "Now we have to decide your status and appearance. Since you Synchronized completely with the quill, the highest status you can choose now is Scholar instead of dumbass commoner. You can do whatever you want with your appearance, it's just vanity." "My job is to save this world, right?" "Yeah why are you asking again?" "To do that, I want to experience the lowest of this world. I will start as a SLAVE. This is going to be fun, Hehe." "Fine, you will start out as a slave" "Next, choose your gender" "I will be male, pretty women can attract a lot of attention, it's not worth it. Plus, I would rather not like to experience gruesome pain for a week in a month.�� "Okay, next, which country are we going to start at, there are 5 nations in total on the continent of Akaira. The dragon nation where people specialize in the art of controlling fire and magma. These people have strong hearts. Their determination fuels their fire. Strong people from the dragon nation can make fire hotter than the Sun. The Hydra nation where people specialize in the art of controlling water and ice. The people of this nation get their abilities from their passion. The stronger your passion for something, the more power you will have. Strong people from this nation can freeze entire rivers. The earth nation where people can control the shape of the ground. The citizens of this region get their power from worshipping the goddess of the Earth, their belief and pride is their power. The strong people from this area can put up barriers as big as mountains in the blink of an eye. The shadow nation is a land of mysteries Nobody except the residents of this area know the secrets of this land. The only thing that is known about the shadow nation is that they train excellent assassins. There is a rumor that to be an assassin of the shadow nation, you must kill all your emotions. No outsider knows the full capabilities of the people from this land. And finally, we have center city. This is not really a nation but, as the name implies, a city. Many people from the 4 nations gather here this to trade, set up shops for weapons and armor, provide entertainment and test their skills in battle. All major agreements between the 4 nations are also made in this city as it is the midway point of the world. So, which country is it going to be James?"
