Ocular Menace: Misadventures of a Man with many Eyes

Johnathan Reed had just finished celebrating his 18 birthday, when like any self-respecting novel protagonist, died to the hands of Truck-Kun. He laments in his last moments the fact he never made it past 24 hours of adulthood, and should have looked before crossing the road. Next thing he knows he's in a old medieval style house. After successfully running away from the house, and whatever problems might come from meeting people, he's in the middle of nowhere until he hears the classic *Ding* any gamer would be familiar with. The Art Is Not Mine. If you are the owner of the art and want it down. let me know and I'll oblige. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Do I have you interested? please do let me know of any feedback you have, as again, this is solely for my own enjoyment and to improve my literary skills. I'm the only person proofreading this, and the grammar is probably killing you, so just bear with me, because English was never my best subject Also my jokes could be unfunny, let me know. Also I will do my best for compelling characters, but again first time writing. so stuff like romance might flop and be underwhelming for people and is probably gonna be a side bit, not the main focus and later on.

With only 2 Skill points left he buys [More Feathers]. He's not really mad he didn't look, as these are a lot less versatile. He then chats with Ruby a bit before finally nodding off. He then asks the system very good question.

"Hey system, how many credits is a skill point?"

[10000 credits is one skill point host]

The next two days pass by in a flash, and he killed 20 goblins, getting himself 800 exp, and 1 silver. They say goodbye to everyone at the guild before they leave. They weren't really close, but they felt it would have been rude to just up and leave.

After walking out of sight from the town, and making sure there not being tailed, Johnathan announces his plan. "Wait here for a few minutes, I can only teleport to places I've been or seen in high detail, so i'm going to teleport inside the next town, and then come get you, so please don't move."

"Oka-" Before Ruby can finish her sentence, he starts teleporting into the distance. "What an asshole..." She mutters.

10 minutes later, Johnathan teleports inside the town square. He then takes a good look and teleports back to Ruby. Shes sitting down when he pops up.

"Just head in and it'l take us to the town square."

"Made me wait, jerk."

"Well sorry for the wait, Your Royal Highness." His tone is laced with enough sarcasm to kill.

"Glad you realized your mistake" Ruby pretends to not have noticed Johnathan's tone. He snorts at this and then pushes her in, following quickly after.

After the portal closes, Ruby glares at him, he just shrugs his shoulders, pretending not to have noticed. While they may act like there trying to bully the other into submission, that was the way they joked around, interactions like that. After wandering around town and chatting, some guy caring himself with air that screamed "better than you". He walks up to Ruby and starts his monologue.

"I Andrew Kyanstone, the only child of the Kyanstone Barony, can proudly announce that you, pretty lady, are my newest concubine." He then tries to grope her butt.

Johnathan is startled but quickly recovers and grabs his hand. He then turns to Ruby and asks the perfect question. "How many bones do you want broken in this mans body?"

"All of them please, but make sure that the bones his hands are nothing but dust. I want you to make sure he can't move when I burn him."

"Alright then, Andrew whatever the fuck your name was, I challenge you to a duel."

I RNGed the points he would get, he got 50 on the dot, making this so much easier. Don't like this method? welp, best I can think of, and 5 a level seems pretty balanced
