at night... But one person was missing... Rigel.
Rigel knocked over a wine bottle, with the shattered pieces on the floor. He attempted to kill himself right there and then, but he stopped. He looked at his hands and to a stupor he froze, "Dad's gonna make him heal this again."
Quickly, he picked up the shattered pieces and hid the bottle behind a crate, he was in an alleyway he was quite familiar of. The people there looked at him with gleefully and chattered praise for their lieutenant head of the department trainer Rigel.
Although they did not tell him upfront, they thought of his as a good man. Worthy of being the successor of Victor.
"He's indeed charming." Someone in the crowd blurted out, Rigel smiled and waved at her. But their attention shifted when they began receiving invites to Auto's celebration party.
"A healer? May we thank the gods above!" The crowd applauded, they stormed off but before leaving they handed Rigel an invitation. "Come with us." One of them told Rigel, Rigel sighed and you could tell he was unhappy. But he shrugged it off and smiled, "I'm not in the mood today you can all enjoy the party." He told them reassuringly before he departed.
Well I guess he must be under the weather.

Cheers!
Aye!
"Hey Auto want a drink?" Xavier tapped him on the shoulder handing him over a drink, "May I ask if that arm's synthetic or not? I thought it was just for vanity, but it seems to be fully robotic." Auto responded to him dodging the drink, while carefully putting the glass on the table.
"I got another question for ya' why don't you drink first? Then we can have a little talk." Xavier replied while leaning on Auto's shoulder, aggressively handing him a drink.
"Hell no I'm underage. I'm only 13 years old."
Xavier failed to catch Auto take a sip while he is still forcibly making Auto chug down a glass out of his own will. "Stop it! PLEASE I swear the narrator is laughing his ass off right now. I'M ONLY 13 YEARS OLD."
Auto was pleading, and yes he is correct. I am indeed laughing my ass off right now and don't you guys dare talk about me breaking the fourth wall, I will get fired IF you talk about me breaking the fourth wall.
By the way, while we're at it. Let's talk about some world building! Yes! Perfect time to break the fourth wall and hopefully not get fired by [Unknown] (The author of this webnovel).
Narrators are people who live beyond the story, such as myself. We are ranked on a hierarchy, narrators are chosen by their affinity to love another story.
But you might be wondering. What is the place that Auto has been brought to? Well it's one of The Wish Granter's trials, but it did exist even before the trial even started. I can't expose too much or else it's gonna be a spoiler, and the author will have to remove narrators so they don't ruin too much of the story.
But another question you might be asking... How does the power system work?
Well the world of TWGA has many power systems, but first we'll talk about CLASSES.
Classes can go from rank 1
This rank is called the bronze tier-- but we will only tackle Auto's class so let's break it down!
Gold tier, Potion master starts with a potion crafter.
Potion crafter can rank up into two paths.
Potion crafter -> Witch, Silver rank
Potion crafter -> Potion wizard, Silver rank
What is the difference?
For the silver ranks witch overtakes the potion wizard (in most scenarios at least). Because witches are enabled with more abilities and at the same time have access to other potion recipes, now why don't they just craft the potion without the class? Well because of class restrictions that is not possible.
The witch carries a wizard's magic, enabling witches to make the same potions as wizards. But witches also carry evil magic. Evil magic enable witches to create blood potions, curse potions, and corrosive potions way earlier than potion wizards.
Potion wizards will have to turn gold rank before unlocking those potions.
Witches also possess flying capabilities and mind attacks negations, such as immunity to [false euphoria] by 50%.
But why would anyone choose to become a potion wizard over a witch? That's because if you choose a stronger path earlier on, the next path will be weaker.
Witch -> Vampire, Gold tier
Potion Wizard -> Potion master, Gold tier
Potion Wizard -> Potion champion, Gold tier
Once a witch turns into a vampire they gain the ability to hivemind evil magic affinities that are weaker than them. And they can regenerate and live for eternity, however, their growth is slower because they gained [immortality] which is permanent. They won't die of old age but they do die of other causes, sadly however you are basically locked into using evil magic potions because if you try to craft a potion from the potion wizard path you will be blocked with your overflowing evil magic.
Knock knock
Oh no, I can hear him. Hide inside the closet! I gotta finish this discussion before he finds out!
Okay we're safe here, now back to what I was saying.
Potion masters gain all the potions that witches do and more. They also gain abilities, and special crafting menus allowing them to craft several times more. They also have a larger storage space in their inventories because of [potion inventory] which acts the same as inventory, but only for potions. And is 7x larger than other gold tiers and their inventories.
Now potion champion is another gold tier class, its potions are twice as effective as potion master but with a 200% smaller potion storage. But that is made up for the fact that potion champions are considered 4x stronger than potion masters, why? What is the down side?
The down side is that potion champions, CANNOT become platinum ranks, this is the last rank up for them. Potion champions have 4x higher physical capabilities than potion masters, they make up for the lack of storage because the potion master skills like [double time] turn into [triple time] which speeding up everything they can speed by three times like relative speed, travel speed, crafting speed, and many more.
And they also have the unique ability to only apply potion effects [apply] this increases the potion's duration by 5 fold, and for example they apply [resistance] on their armor the armor gains resistance like it should, they cannot use this on other people or the environment during a fight. But only to themselves or what they're holding.
I guess that's time I gotta go hurry up before the author sees me.
Author: Hm? Why are there papers on the ground? Oh... I see.
TREVOR GET BACK HERE!
"So... Xavier..." Auto uttered silently "Yeah sup?" Xavier replied with nausea, narrowly stopping himself from vomiting.
"Is there no age restriction for alcohol?" Auto questioned in concern "Yeah there isn't." Xavier said while keeping himself from joining the pile on the ground.
Auto stared disappointedly at the amount of drunk kids deadbeat on the floor. "Goddamn I'm definitely not gonna drink this crap." He noted to himself, making sure to jackhammer it into his head while ignoring a drunk Xavier having a fight with the air.
"Hey air, why do you keep making me breathe?" As he waved his hands in a windmill tossing himself up a table and crashed down, he continued his intense altercation with the air by throwing an uppercut and accidentally kicking a child. The child's mother angrily slapped him and table kicked him back to Auto.
"I wonder what is going on in this guy's head." Auto contemplated his life choices in this very moment.
Xavier quickly slapped himself awake, after having overcome drunkenness in 12 seconds.
"Okay while I still forced myself to be sober what did ya' want to talk about kid?" Xavier asked untroubled by kids drunk fighting.
"Your hair... It's unique... White hair with one green and orange stripe... But I can tell you dyed it. I can tell just from the smell, so why did you dye your hair?"
"I can't tell you yet kid, I'm head of the tech department. So you can ask me of how I built my mechanical arm and how I managed to make a good eyepatch for myself, but I can't tell you why or how it happened." Xavier explained.
"Oh... I see." Auto said apologetically.
"You don't have to feel sorry you know, you're the youngest person I've seen to climb this far into the ranks on day one. Say... Do you remember how we got here?" Xavier asked rhetorically.
"Yes I do... But I can't tell you..." Auto replied but he was noticeably disgruntled.
"I understand... Anyways... I do too... I remember why I was brought here." Xavier knocked himself drunk and laid dismal on the ground.
The part that was initially celebrated for Auto, has now became a big fighting ground. "I guess my first job is to heal everyone at my own party." He watched in silence with fatherly disappointment in his eyes.
