Water will mean you can swim better, summon water, and in the future summon ice to attack and defend. Wind will improve your agility and allow attacks with wind. Lightning means lightning summoning, spacial means teleport and spacial pockets and a production technique with physical gems to make amour for them, life means Healing for both you and other people and time is things like time delay, time stop etc.

Spacial lets you teleport...

What does Saint do?

Your name is Zou-Do-Shai, only 14 years old, yet an orphan in the great Dershwa city, a massive place built of stone, well protected, but surrounded by beasts from both the forest and the wastelands, with a border with one coastal country to the north.. The head of the Orphanage looks after those children more unfortunate than most, but many never learn to read or write, only survive. but, as it is your 14th birthday, you know you need to make your own way in life. The head, as sweet and kind as she is, offers a job in the orphanage, but it will not pay well. The other options mean going into the forest and killing monsters, or searching for a job.

Choose
>Search for a job, this means a safer cultivating environment, but less fighting opportunity. Will require a roll for the job you get.
>Apply as a junior hunter for the forest, optional roll to find a secret cultivation technique in the forest, it is known well to be a good place to hide good things, as it is filled with monsters which can tear a normal man to pieces. Required encounter roll.

You know that the best way to earn money in this city is by joining the hunters. You make your way to the nearest guard post ask ask to join. "You want to join? You're only 14!, tell you what, I'll put you on a patrol team, probably the safest bit, I can tell you have no heavenly energy so don't expect any special gifts, just the standard gear."
>Gained Basic Hunter's Gear (Includes new clothes and a small knife. 1d6 damage)

You are told to meet a small group of about 5 adults near the entrance to the forest, all of them look bored, one, the leader of the group informs you he has 2 levels of Heavenly Energy, so there's no need to worry.
Setting of into the forest, its scary, the pathway is clear, but the rest is dense, some light passes through but you can't see much, only a few magic lamps lighting the way, something tells you this won't be as boring as the others think it might be.

You run, as fast as you can, but you're terrified, behind you all you hear are screams, everyone's dying, you can barely move your feet. blood in your eyes, knife on the ground. However, in the corner of your eye, you see something, a person? around his right wrist are Icy Jade Jewels, around his right wrist, stark gold gems on his left, glowing with power.

>Roll 1d12 to see how many you see. Best of ONE

He takes one look at the snarling wolf in front of you, wind growing in its red maw. You don't see a thing, but the wolf explodes, fur and bone everywhere. It dies, along with the patrol leader.

"Boy, how old are you? You may not have run, but you are not dead at least."

"F-f-fourteen!"

"Hhmm"

He places his head on you, you feel nothing but fear, an energy pulses through you. coming from those weird jewels on his left wrist. settling on your left arm.

"This should help you, When you reach 3 Jewels, look for the Demon Hammer in Miller city. I expect to see you soon."

>Due to Fear you do not stop to loot the wolf/ people

He leaves in a flash, with the wolf dead, and the fear still running through you, you finally start to run, as you do you stop at a tree, and see a book hidden inside. Whatever.

The guard tower is a welcome sight. the man who invited you into the patrol looked confused. then he turns as white as a sheet.

"What the hell happened, where's Dou-Shoufa!, where's the patrol leader?!"

You think he is from Miller city, at the end of your explanation you collapse, practically blubbering about a book and weird energy from the man . As you fall asleep you see the man who helped you join the hunters crumple in despair.

"I think, very quickly, you need to cultivate, even with heavenly energy Dou-Shoufa died from 1 wolf, you're young so unlike me and the patrol leader you still have a chance to awaken your Personal Jewels of Power, it's really late, get some bloody sleep" He leaves the room. You fall asleep.

Stat explanation.
For now you have 6 main stats, represented by dice pools. Used mainly for checks

>Strength 1d10, the stronger you are, the harder you hit, weapons increase your dice pool, e.g the knife you have makes your current strength 1d16.
>Agility 1d10, can move fast, better speed means you can escape faster and attack quicker. Will normally be used for running checks, also used for general travel
>Endurance 1d10. Also a check stat. If I ask toy to roll this you have been gravely hit and need to roll to see how much you suffer.
>Flexibility 1d10, Used to dodge attacks, and hit a critical point on an enemy
>Stamina, 1d10, the higher your stamina, the longer you can perform an action. Running takes stamina for example, does not affect how strong you are.
>Coordination 1d10, Helps you know where your body is, used for dodging and production techniques.

Each stat can be improved by Physical Jewels. When you awaken your Jewels you will gain another stat and all your dice pools will increase by apart from that other stat.
As you cultivate Heavenly Energy and train, your dice for your stats will improve.
Looking at the Patrol leader.
Strength 1d50 (training + Heavenly Energy + weapon) =1d25 for the 4 people with him, of varying degrees of alertness.

I’m UK, so possibly. Maybe advertise in the QTG thread? Probably a lot of people are also unfamiliar with the canon so might not want to try it out just yet.

I wouldn’t worry yet, it’s slow but active even though not a lot’s happened so far, you’re doing better than a lot of starting quests.

>>3641753
Thanks! I'm mainly working with the idea that the PC is next to nothing at the moment, when the first Jewel is earned things will speed us as you can kill more things and the city will place more responsibility on you.

Shilling the thread on QTG seems a bit underhanded, so I think I'll wait for when we hit the second thread.

Same, I’m just enjoying the ride.

>>3641825
Def blink skill if we got Spatial, is there a long range teleportation skill as well? i know Saint also has the absolute strongest healing techniques including potential resurrectiona t really high levels, pretty much any skill that boosts speed as a side effect works for our build, especially since we lake physical jewels cause people decided to go elemental instead of Heavenly (I still don't understand why), Lightning is likely to be our main spam offensive element so a good spammable attack would be ncie in there. Water Life are both healing elements, so a combined healing skill fom there, also some regeneration type effect would be good

>>3641836
>11 star skills
>With improvement from the cheat
Wew

>>3641839
Basically look at our elements, and think of cool ways so use them. The Silver Emperor skills for example include a spacial slash which deletes things in its path. A basic 3 star water skill would be Water Barrier, a skill that can tank one attack, giving you time to think and plan ahead,
>>3641854
I can organise a short range teleport for when we get there, long range will be 4th gem and beyond. With Life and Saint we can be a really good healer for the main clan in town too.

Lets catch them off guard and go with a bit of fast aggression

>>Dodge to the side(Coordination or Flexibility at this level)

As an elemental master we dont get to turn our gems into physical equipment like Physical or Heavenly masters get to, so our defense and other physical abilities are permanently underdeveloped, we gonna need to rely on our skills to be effective in combat, and while there are skills that will improve our defense, strength and speed i feel that skills that will boost our coordination and flexibility are much rarer, so better grind these up a bit

You force your arm upward, right into his face, he doesn't see it coming and you feel the strength push his head up. Any slower and you would be in a nasty situation. He looks very disoriented, the Hunter overseeing the battle calls it to a close.
"Round over!, The kid wins it by a hair! Shimuko! Get over here and heal the guy who just lost to a kid!"
The 4 other man cheer for you, obviously surprised at your win.
As you begin to relax, you see an old women briskly walk over from the Elemental Knowledge building, 3 Green Jade Life Jewels gleaming on her left wrist. A flash of light later and the man is good as new. The man you just fought walks over to you.

"Good fight, new kid, glad to have you on board."
The instructor informs you that the fight between the two Physical Jewel Masters is about to begin.

The two men face each other, then summon their Physical Jewels. the first man has a 90% Strength 10% Endurance build, the send man has a 40% Strength, 30% Flexibility and 30% Agility Jewel. Both Jewels then Glimmer sightly, Heavenly Energy moving inside them. Their forms miraculously change. The first Hunter summons a huge Icy Jade Hammer, tipped with a Yellow Jade face. The second man summons a grey coloured long sword. The two start circling each other, neither making a move, until the Hunter with the sword goes for a stab to the chest. The other Hunter blocks the attack, but with some difficulty, using this opportunity, the hunter with the sword then slices downward onto his opponent's leg. He catches it slightly,
The Hammer Hunter falls down on to one knee, abdicating.
The same woman from before comes to heal him.

The hunter with the sword comes over to you
"What do you think huh? It's called Consolidated Equipment, all Physical Jewel Masters need it to do anything beyond their power level, I bought this sword at a pretty penny too, 450 gold! I hope If you ever get those Jewels of yours you awaken as a Physical Jewel Master, come to me, I'll be glad to show you some good places to buy Consolidated Equipment"

We gonna keep being weak till we find cultivation technique, as an orphan we can't get one from the city without letting ourselves be effectively enslaved to the country or a noble family. However this is a xianxia universe, so finding a corpse with a cultivation technique while hiking is something that can totally happen. So lets go explore or we gonna be stuck as a normie. Also we aint got no money so finding stuff to sell would help

>Elemental Knowledge

You take a look at all the buildings, and remember the woman from yesterday night.
The Elemental Knowledge course says today is the study of the darkness element, hosted by the local lord himself. This sounds like an important experience, you has never even heard of the darkness element before.

>The session costs 1 gold, there are 35 students in one room, 10 are Elemental Jewel Masters of some respect.
>You now have 3 Gold

The lord walks in Shang-Dershwa, a tall, robust man, brown hair, a bit scuffled, and dark green eyes,
looking about 30 years old, but looks can be deceiving with Jeweled Masters.
A respectable member of high society you never thought you's have a chance to even see, due to your history as an orphan. He starts of with some basics.
Summoning his 4 Onyx Darkness Jewels, a Low Level Zun Stage Master.

>Roll 1d20 to notice details about his Jewels best of 3


"The Darkness Element is primarily used for sealing, such as with the Skill storing palace up north, which many of you will be aware of, but can be used to bind things to your will in other ways. For example, could one of you volunteer to be a test dummy?" One person steps forward.

You see a glimmer from his 3rd Jewel, then suddenly several tendrils made of pure darkness rush towards the volunteer and cover him in darkness.

"In this state he cannot and will not move, darkness techniques like these can apply to almost anything, including emotions in some cases. I hope you all realise what danger a powerful element can do now." He releases the volunteer, the tentacles disappearing as fast as they appear.

The lecture continues for a few hours. However as you don't know how to write you only remember some of the information.

Also to explain a certain ranking system:
Rudimentary<Basic<Useful<Extensive<Master<Divine
This shows the level of knowledge your character has on a subject. Basic and above allows it to be used in everyday life and beyond. For example your Rudimentary knowledge on Consolidated Equipment doesn't give you much. Your basic Knowledge on the Darkness attribute makes it so you can recognise the element when used.

Sorry, I posted without thinking.

During the lecture yesterday you immediately realise that although the Lord introduced himself as an Elemental Jewel Master. You saw 4 Yellow Jade Jewels on his right wrist, hidden cleverly by a mixture of long sleeves, distractions with his elemental Stored Skills and only showing his left side, normally hiding his right arm. Why is he hiding the fact he is a Heavenly Jewel Master? More importantly, why is something like the local Lord a Heavenly Jewel Master in the first place, he could become a top member of the clan with that strength.

I hope someone will run ISSTH quest here.

>Diagonal thrust to the side of the head.

You see an opportunity, you take it. Using all the strength you can muster you catch your opponent off-guard, he's not quick enough to dodge and receives a devastating blow to the head
"Match over!" The referee calls, "Zou-Do-Shai Wins!"
Your opponent, unlike the first man you sparred with, is much less disoriented, and walks off groggily, no healing required.
There is still time in the evening to do something, this won't be the only spar today either. Apparently a Physical Jewel Master and Elemental Jewel Master are facing off against each other

The two Jewel Masters stand still, then summon their jewels. The Physical Master summons his consolidated equipment, a bow. In the time it takes for him to summon and ready his weapon. The Elemental Jewel Master launches a fireball at his opponent, the ruby gem slashing slightly, it hits the Bowman's Arm, making him drop his bow, making it disappear, reforming into a Jewel once again. The winner looks smug as the loser clutches his arm, Shimuko rushing over as quick as a woman a third her age, to heal the massive burn.

>Talk to the Winner about Stored Skills.
You ask him about Stored Skills, you have heard about them during the lecture yesterday, but didn't grasp too much.

Stored Skills are imprints of elemental abilities that come from beings other than humans. Earning one requires being an apparently equal power to the Heavenly Beast in question, and forcing your own Heavenly energy in side it, pulling back Skills.
Stored Skills need Heavenly Energy to be used, but the cost is worth it. They are ranked from 1 Star to 12 Stars. For example the skill you saw earlier was the fire elemental skill Fireball, 3 Stars. Most people travel to the Stored Skill Palace, as they use the darkness element to seal some of the power and fighting spirit monsters have to make the chance of successful storing higher. You can store one skill per Jewel, per element. The more powerful the beast you try and take a skill from, the more difficult it will be to succeed. Most Elemental Jewel Masters get a skill equal to the Jewel it aligns to.
First Jewels tend to have 1 Star Skills. This Hunter here is lucky to have a 3 Star skill on his first Jewel. However, taking a skill from a beast and storing it in a Jewel is permanent. He will have 9 Skills is he reaches the pinnacle of his cultivation.

You decide that joining the patrol again is a good idea, after all, what happened...that day was just a fluke, nothing more nothing less. You might also want to find that book, but you will need a suitable distraction to make sure no one else sees you taking the book.
The Guard strides up to you,
"Kid, come here for a sec, I need to tell you something, we'e seen your progress in training and think you're capable enough to join the patrol as part of a 4 man team, 2 of you will have heavenly energy, the other 2 not, but all of you have OK combat ability. Remember, anything you kill belongs to the team, so fewer people means you can get more money. Also we investigated the path of that Wind Wolf and the Hunter's who killed it are 85% sure it was lost. So little chance of anything like that happening again."

You set out into the forest, the blue sky forming in pinpricks through the trees, the assigned leader travels halfway into the route and tells everyone to search the area, as the previous patrol said they found weird new Mushrooms nearby.

Don't worry, on your way home, you will pick up the book as you run past. When I said later I meant later in the patrol.

You dash away as fast as you can, dashing back to the beaten path, the Ice Cap, tried to move, but gets stuck in the ground. Calling for the other patrol members, all 3 respond.
"Those Mushrooms are Heavenly Beasts! I found one and it jumped at me!."
"Shit, We'll go target it as a team, Zou-Do-Shai I need you to stay calm, what happened with the last patrol leader will not happen to us." The leader gives his orders, the two of them with Heavenly energy will attack first and create an opening for you and the other Junior Hunter to attack.
