Chapter 114: Chapter 112: A finger on the scale

There are many labels for the champions of this world, titles bestowed by society as a whole, if not by the system, bestowed upon us by the gods. Titles are things that augment a person’s class and are gained by performing spectacular feats that are far above the norm.

A wizard is the base class of wizard that can further specialize into many other advanced classes after significant progression.

An Arch-Wizard, however, is a wizard who has gained a bestowed title from the system and, because of his capabilities, has reached high and far beyond the norm of his peers.

Witch-Hunter, Grand-Crusader, Legendary Swordsman are all examples from recently documented history, some being ‘common’ enough to be found once or twice for every million people.

Title bestown individuals are amongst the most powerful in the world, raging past noble-born and those who we suspect to carry trace inkling of divine blood, washed out through generations of mixed breeding.

Felling a great beast, destroying an insurmountable evil, accomplishing a great thing that none have ever managed before — even if the ‘achievement’ system of previous generations is no longer a part of our world, these acts are still rewarded through this side-system.

We do not know where the rules for this begin and end, we do not know when the system decides to give someone such a boon and for what reasons, but we know that it happens.

The most societally familiar and popular title is that of ‘Dragonslayer,’ given only to a person who has fought and bested one of the world’s ancient dragons and not just any whelp from a dungeon.

People with multiple titles are able to choose between them within the system, although this change is only cosmetic in an individual’s menu screens.
