Sunday morning, John reborn

John woke up around seven when he felt Valerie stirring next to him. On his other side, Cynthia had magically retrieved Roger from her earring. John quickly adjusted the covers slightly so that Valerie wouldn’t see the teddy bear that had not been there before.

Valerie got up from the bed, wiping the sleep from her eyes as she felt a bit of soreness in her ass. She looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, seeing that John was awake too. “Oh, sorry, did I wake you?” she asked as she pressed her hand to her ass, fidgeting in place slightly.

“You did, but I don’t need that much sleep, so don’t worry about it.” he said with a smile, laughing as he saw the oh so confident woman from the night before be awkward due to certain fluids no longer being contained.

“I kinda need to run to the bathroom, take a shower; I would invite you to join me, but… we would be in there for a while, and without Cynthia’s consent in the morning, I will not jump you either,” Val said before jiggling her ass his way and walked towards the door, almost running down the stairs as she needed to get cleaned up.

John stretched again as he watched her leave, ‘God last night was a lot of fun.’ And as if thinking about last night and gods had triggered it, a bunch of achievements popped up.

Sorry for the postponing of achievements, Mr Newman, I was busy doing something else last night. First, here are your achievements, and then, I hope that you appreciate the effort I put in for you.

Get it, cause Valerie is a doctor? You can praise me now, yes, thank you.

“In your dreams, supreme overlady,” John said while holding back a chuckle, shaking his head with a sigh. Already tossing the items into his inventory to give them a proper look over later.

However, just as he dismissed the popup, his vision went black; his senses seemed to cut off one by one, a feeling that was like dying, he knew that, he had experience after all, but wasn’t exactly like it either. Then, one by one his senses started coming back; it felt like something was off, something he could not put his finger on. First, his touch came back, feeling the sheets, the damp spots in the bed and the feeling of Cynthia curled up next to him. Then his smell, the scent of sex filling his nose. Hearing, Cynthia’s rhythmic breathing as well as the sound of a shower running downstairs coming to him. He tasted his mouth next, the taste of pussy still slightly there from his couch adventure with Val and last but not least, his eyes. He blinked a few times as he saw the room once again. And in his vision, a new popup appeared.

Mr Newman. You were not supposed to see this message before hitting level 10, yet you had to go out and hunt something that was obviously out of your league during your first steps into the abyss. I have worked out some of the bugs in your powerset and have removed the throttle on your damage and other skills. Welcome to The Gamer Patch 1.1.

John sighed softly, a new screen showing up in his face. It was his character sheet.

Bit by bit, popups appeared over his screen, showing him all the new features.

Health has been recalculated. Your health is now: endurance times ten plus strength times five, this gives you a nice and tidy 255 health.

Mana has been reworked into Energy. While it is still in essence mana, it works on a different basis. Your maximum energy is set at 100 at base, +15 per class rank level. Seeing as your class rank is 1 at this moment, your energy is capped at 115. Energy regeneration is set to one per second, this too can be increased with upgrading your class rank.

Class rank: Some skills have shown to have become the bread and butter of your skillset. These have been grouped together as your class skills. Your class rank goes up when 5 out of the seven skills reach a certain level. The max class rank and skill level for your class skills is 10. As your class rank rises, so will you unlock new skills, increase your energy pool and raise your combat effectiveness.

Primal rage: A primal rage bar now has been added for your convenience, look at me being magnanimous!

Now, for the fun part! I have refined your skills into more useful powers. Mixed, matched and combined some, reworked others. Keep in mind, this is the only time I am doing this, and only because I feel somewhat responsible for almost getting you killed, though you did that to yourself!”

Mana Arrow has been reworked into Magic Arrow.

Magic Arrow
Cost: 0+ Variable
Magic Arrow allows you to imbue (skill lvl) skills into an arrow to be deployed remotely. Energy cost for these arrows will always be the same as the costs of the activated skills added together, no discounts here!

Summon and Dismiss Pet have been combined into Beast mastery.

Beast Mastery (hybrid)
Beast Mastery allows you to keep your pets in an inactive state on your body and to summon them at will. Unlike before, you can now also opt to not directly summon your pets when entering a barrier, or you can chose to not unsummon all pets when leaving a barrier, leaving them in the barrier until you come and pick them up. (If you dare abandon your pets, I will delete your pathetic existence, we clear?)
Per class rank you earn 1 energy regaining skill for a random pet. Rank 1 granted you: Draining Claw. Every claw attack made by Jack that connects with an enemy regenerates 5 energy.

Bow Mastery and Thrown Mastery have been combined into Tools of the Hunt.

Tools of the Hunt (passive)
For every rank in this skill, you can learn to master 2 forms of weapons. See this as your combat style.
Current masteries: 2/4
Bow
Thrown weapons

Piercing Arrow has been reworked into Boring Shot.

Boring Shot (active)
Cost: 25 energy
Boring shot imbues arrows with an extra piercing layer of energy, which rotates at a high speed to allow penetration of armor layers. Higher levels increase the rotation speed, allowing for higher penetration power and eventually the sundering of armor.

Point Blank Shot has been slightly reworked.

Point Blank (passive)
Shots against enemies within 2 meters increase their damage by 50% (+5% per skill lvl). This effect does not apply when enemies are engaging you in melee combat or up to twenty seconds after you break melee combat with an enemy.

Wild Run has absorbed Dodge and has been modified to fit your new energy source.

Wild Run (active)
Cost: In combat: 20 energy. Out of combat: Nullifies natural regeneration of energy.
In combat, Wild Run provides a quick boost of speed and maneuverability. Increasing speed by 20% (+5% per skill lvl) and leaping height by 50 centimeters (+50 centimeters per skill lvl) this increase lasts for 5 seconds (+2.5 seconds per lvl).
Out of combat, Wild Run allows you to move faster and deftly, combining parkour skills and a speed increase of 10% (+10% per lvl).

Reaching rank 1 of your class unlocked the skill: Eagle Eye. It combined with Predator’s Gambit to form Hawk Eye.

Hawkeye (active)
Cost: 20 energy
Hawkeye sharpens your vision on a distant target and reveals its critical hit zones. Hawkeye can increase your sight on enemies up to 30 meters (+7 meters per skill lvl) away. When used on enemies less than 10 meters away, it will only reveal their critical hit zones.

That covers your core skills, yes, we are not done, everything is getting an update! Except for Observe, though that one now shows the stats of friendly creatures 10 levels above you, instead of just going ??? on ya. I know. I’m so nice.

Pitfall has been reworked.

Pitfall (active)
Cost: 30 energy
Pitfall creates a hole, 2 meters in diameter (+20 cm per skill lvl) in a place within 2 meters around you of your choosing. The amount of active holes that can be opened at a time is 1 (+int/10 rounded down to whole numbers).

Ensnare has been reworked.

Ensnare (active)
Cost: 25 energy
Ensnare creates a group of vines that bind and constrict an opponent. The vines appear within 2 meters of you in a place of your choosing. The vines can be broken through with sufficient physical or magical ****. Vine strength goes up per level, max level being 10. The maximum amount of snares that can be active at one time is 1 (+int/10 rounded down to whole numbers).

Camouflage has been reworked.

Camouflage (active)
Cost: 30 energy
Camouflage helps you blend in with the environment, masking your scent, your heartbeat and your visual form to a degree. Fast movements break the skill. Attacking (skill lvl) times will break the skill too.

Tracking has been reworked.

Tracking (active)
Cost: negates natural energy regeneration
Tracking lights up the footprints and other tracks of a creature that you are following, giving you relevant information on the creature that you are tracking. The higher the skill level, the more nuances you will know. Experience with types of creatures also increases the knowledge you can get from tracks.

Wildform has not been touched.

Cleanse has been reworked to fit your new energy system.

Cleanse
cost: 5 energy (+a max of 50 depending on the target of cleansing)
Cleanses filth and grime from a creature, can cleanse weak debuffs off allies starting at level 2 and buffs off enemies starting at level 4.

Guided Arrow has been reworked into Marking Shot.

Marking Shot
Cost: 25 energy
Fires an arrow that marks an enemy with a magical target. The next 3 (+skill lvl) arrows will be attracted to the target. Higher level means higher attraction, leading up to homing arrows at level 10.

The skills Gamer’s Body, Gamers Spirit, Limber, Stalker Steps and Fertility have not been touched.

Fucking, Masturbation and Oral Sex have been combined into Loverboy

Loverboy (passive)
Knowing what you should do is half the fun. Your sexual exploits will provide more pleasure for your lovers, and your sexual fluids will taste better the higher the skill level gets.

Opportunist has been reworked.

Opportunist (passive)
Deal an additional 10% (+9% per skill lvl) damage against enemies with their guard lowered to you. Attacks made from stealth count as attacks against an enemy with their guard lowered. This effect can’t happen more than once every 2 minutes.

Now, you might be wondering, if Mana is gone, what use do I have for Wisdom. Well. Wisdom will from now on influence the speed at which you gain skill exp, as well as the time it takes you to unlock new skills. Keep in mind that this does not influence your normal experience gain.

I know this is a lot to take in, but, Mr Newman, with this, I hope that you will be able to go out there and carve your own path. I will be watching.
Gaia

John shook his head; he had to stop reading a few times as it was a lot to take in indeed. He had his powers reworked to basically work smoother. This was quite the patch, and the new background was a nice touch. He was genuinely happy that they had agreed to go hunting today, this would allow him to try out his new skillset! With a sigh, John nudged Cynthia. “Cyn, time to wake up. You best put away your teddy bear, before Val notices.

Cynthia muttered next to him:
