Chapter 14: Choosing a Class

Derek pulled his Status back up and focused on his class. The same list of classes as before came back up.

I’m getting nowhere with this. He was still completely overwhelmed with the process of choosing a class, one that would most likely be permanent. I wonder if I can sort in some way other than alphabetically. Derek focused on doing that, and by some miracle, it worked. He was now looking at a list of classes sorted by rarity instead.

Arcand Knight

Arch Sage

Blade SInger

Sword Dancer

Now this is more like it. Still, there were many classes that Derek deemed unsuitable for him to choose. I’m not choosing any faith based class. He was easily able to remove classes such as Divine Abjurer and Holy Knight.

OK, so far, my Endurance and Vitality haven't failed me yet. Unless I include the fact that I was unable to output enough damage to kill myself while I was in the void. Derek did not like remembering that failure, or anything about being trapped in the void. It’s not likely that I’ll end up in that situation again. In fact, it was unlikely that Derek would ever allow himself to be anywhere remotely close to an open portal, or even a mage with the ability to open a portal.

Derek’s mind worked overtime thinking about what he needed from his new class. I was lucky that I never came across anything that could do major damage via spells. His tank class had an amazing amount of protection from physical attacks, but it was only mediocre when it came to magic protection.

Through this reasoning, Derek eliminated classes that seemed to do with Dexterity. He moved fast as it was. His bonuses from the other system had given him a good amount of Dexterity already, so he did not think he would need any skills related to it. He was not going to choose a class like Blade Singer or Sword Dancer, even though he loved the name of the classes.

After spacing out while imagining being able to move swords fast enough through the air to make them sing a melody, he regained his focus. No more daydreaming. He chided himself. What now? Oh, I can get rid of any of the ranged classes too. Culling the ranged classes lightened his available classes greatly.

When all was said and done, he was left with a total of four epic classes and two rare classes to choose from.

Epic

Chaos Glaive

Rare

Shadow Brawler

Rare

Derek felt that he had made a very compelling list of classes. Now, he was going to thoroughly comb over all the details of each class. He started with the rare classes.

Shadow Brawler

You have become one with the darkness. Shadows can be bent to your will. Move with shadows to unleash the darkness unto your foe.

Shadow Brawler is a rare class that uses bare hands and dark magic. Three skills will be available upon class selection.

For each level you will obtain two stat points into Strength and Vitality and one stat point into Wisdom. You will still receive ten free stat points per level.

Damn, that doesn’t sound too bad. If I wasn’t a sucker for my glaive and other weapons, I wouldn’t mind trying it out. Maybe one of the skills could even allow me to hide in the shadows. That would definitely increase my survivability. Derek thought as he looked over the class description. Onto the next class.

Chaos Glaive

Your glaive is a part of you. Your will is its will. You are chaos personified. Only destruction will be known to enemies who come across your blade.

Chaos Glaive is a rare class that uses polearms as its main weapon, specifically, glaives. Three skills will be available upon class selection.

For each level you will obtain two stat points into Strength and Vitality and one stat point into Intelligence. You will still receive ten free stat points per level.

I really love my glaive. Derek could imagine all of the new glaive related skills he might receive if he was to choose this class. Still, he moved up his shortlist.

Eternal Guardian

You are eternal, near immortal. You have been ravaged by enemies, yet still live. You are your own guardian.

Eternal Guardian is an epic class that uses heavy weapons and has great Vitality. Four skills will be available upon class selection.

For each level you will obtain four stat points into Strength and Vitality and two stat points into Endurance. You will still receive ten free stat points per level.

Derek stopped on this class. Now that’s what I’m talking about. Eternal Guardian checks pretty much all my boxes, except for a focus on magic defense. But still, with the extra Endurance and Vitality, my magic defense would be boosted naturally. Still, Derek was not so impatient as to jump the gun and choose without at least viewing the remaining classes.

Elemental Berserker

You fight. With the elements by your side, you fight. As you bleed, you fight harder.

Elemental Berserker is an epic class that uses the four elements along with heavy weapons, specifically greatswords. Four skills will be available upon class selection.

For each level you will obtain four stat points into Strength and Endurance and two stat points into Vitality. You will still receive ten free stat points per level.

You fight, you bleed… That doesn’t sound fun at all. Pass. This was one class that Derek could quickly dismiss. Now he viewed Arcane Knight.

Arcane Knight

You are a Knight. The perfect balance between offense and defense. Your armor will keep you safe while your sword will eradicate your foes. But, you are not just any Knight, you are a Knight of the Arcane, and Arcane is said to be a magic in its purest form

Arcane Knight is a growth type epic class that uses swords and Arcane magic. Four skills will be available upon class selection. This is a growth type class. There is a possibility of its rarity being increased in the future.

For each level you will obtain four stat points into Strength and Vitality and two stat points into Intelligence. You will still receive ten free stat points per level.

Woah. The class sounds kind of basic, but the description is crazy. And a growth type class, does that mean that I may be able to have a legendary class in the future? Derek could not help but do a double take at this class. He would get more defense, and that would go on top of his over 80 levels of defense from his other class. But what he loved was that he would get more attacking power and be able to use Arcane magic. Even in his other system, Arcane magic users were legends.

But, he calmed down. There was one other class that he needed to look at. He had avoided this class. He did not want anything to do with the void after being trapped in it for countless years. However, it was also a growth type class, so he needed to at least read the description before choosing Arcane Knight.

Champion of the Void

You have lived within the void, and the void has chosen you as its champion. Unlike others, you will no longer become trapped in the void. The void is your ally.

Champion of the Void is a growth type epic class. Preferences for this class are unknown. Two skills will be available upon class selection.

You will receive 20 free stat points per level for allocation to your choosing.

Derek read, re-read, then read again the class description. What? Two skills? While the other epic classes have four. I mean, what the fuck. The 20 free stat points are nice though. Really, Derek thought his choice was clear. He wanted to back out and choose Arcane Knight, but something kept him from doing so. It was like a small itch in the back of his mind.

Ahh! I don’t know. I knew this was going to happen. Doing this is a pain in the ass. Derek kept remembering the agonizing days he spent alone in the void. He went over the line that said, ‘you will no longer become trapped in the void’ over and over. His plan was to never get anywhere near the void again. But what if I can control it. I wouldn’t have to fear it ever again. Still, only receiving two new skills was a real kick in the balls. Well, maybe this is a case of quality over quantity.

With that, he made his decision.

Would you like to select ‘Champion of the Void’ as your class?

Note: This cannot be undone.

He mentally said. Yes.
