After some time, he got most of the play written down and notices it needed two actors.  He writes his name by the main character.  After reviewing the play, it calls for a woman as the second character, but he’s still fed up with the idiot couple and writes in Jack.  He was rewarded with a simple prompt:


    <table><tbody><tr><td>You have created a play, however, you do not have the skill tree that contains playwright or director at this time.  Should you successfully direct this play in front of an audience with good responses, you have a chance to unlock the Theatre Skills tree.</td></tr></tbody></table>


    The scene was simple enough, a man talking to friends at dinner asking two questions of a woman, and getting generic responses.  Actually, the only reason a woman is the second character was because of the name written for the character at the end of the play where it read ‘And he talked with Lucy for the rest of the meal.’ To test his play, at dinner he looks over to Jack and asks the questions. Tonight, he did not get the answers he wanted. So he repeats this process over the next few days until out of frustration, Jack actually answers him properly.


    At the end of the meal, he asks Jack if ‘Lucy’ enjoyed the meal getting a positive reply before his target blinks at him a few times.  “What’s the meaning of this message I just received?” Drake’s message window blocks his view:


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Skill Tree Theatre unlocked.</td></tr><tr><td>Acquired Sub-Skill Director. Main Skill Theatre.  Allows you to produce plays, robberies, and major public events. Allows you to assign actors to roles.  Gives bonuses to memorization skills.</td></tr><tr><td>Aquired Sub-Skill PlayWright.

[System assist available for text memorized by character but not user]</td></tr><tr><td>Because you used the pre-existing environment, you did not acquire the Theatre Sub-Skill ‘Blocking’ or the Carpentry Sub-Skill ‘Construction’.</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Jack is still asking about the pop up he got as Drake finally clears all the messages. “Why does it say I earned 3 fame for playing the role of ‘Lucy’ in the play ‘Dinner with Friends?’”


    Drake grins, “Ah, I’m trying to earn the profession or classes relating to Actors and Theatres.  I guess you earned a side benefit.  Here’s the script.”  He passes a loose copy of the script to Jack. “By the way, watch your back or you may be in for a few more surprises as my skills increase.”


    “Well, We’ve finally made it to the Moon Elves’ village.  You can finally turn in the quests and request your class or professions. We’ll see you when you are ready to leave town, I doubt you’ll have issues here with your Elven and Fairy lineage so I doubt Elan will punish me.”  With that, Jack and Rya enter the inn across from the guild.  Drake could guess what they were going to do and wonders if Rya’s fertility blessing will be kicking in under the game rules.


    --I''m sorry this is so short, but it''s time to start creating something OP.  I''ll be posting his stats and skills page next chapter and it should have a real fight scene with a new character. There are still other unmentioned skills that he will acquire that will be extremely useful and likely confusing.  Please call me on it if I mess up something.
