Chapter 5: The Classes

After understanding the situation around this world, Stark immediately went to learn about the classes and powers that were available.

Instead of the normal stuff where everyone could get their own skills and improve depending on what they choose to persue, this world was extremely different from the rest.

Basically: there are 10 classes, and chosen individuals gets placed into one of them (or none if they don't meet the requirements), thus determining their abilities and destiny.

The classes are the same for everybody, but it is the inner talent and skills that make the difference.

Stark read more about these classes, and as he absorbed the information, he understood more and more why Stark's family seemed to judge him as incompetent.

Most of the population don't unlock a class as it is something rare and for powerful individuals, but his family seemed to be one of 'soul wielders', while on the otherhand he was just one of the 'people'.

In this world, most people dream to get a class and become 'Classifiers', which is the name for people who fight monsters and have powers.

And the ten classes of this world are...

...

[Magus:] master magicians with the power to control elements and cast powerful spells, the spells can be extremely different between each individual, making everyone unique in their own way.

[Exorcist:] specialists in banishing evil/cursed spirits and curses, possessing abilities to purify their surroundings and protect others from malevolent forces (mainly fight demons and use divine power).

[Beast Tamer:] able to summon and control beasts, both magical and mundane, they can create alliances with these creatures to aid in battle and exploration, the more powerful their beasts, the more powerful the tamer is.

[Warrior:] One of the most common classes people get, but still a fairly powerful one as they possess incredible physical strength, durability, and combat skills. They specialize in close-quarters combat and have a wide variety of melee techniques at their disposal.

[Assassin:] Skilled in stealth, sabotage, and assassination, they are masters of the shadows and can slip past guards undetected, silently eliminating their targets with a deadly precision.

[Archer:] Specializing in the use of ranged weapons, primarily bows and arrows, they possess a high degree of accuracy and can strike from a distance with lethal force (strangely enough, apparently some of them use their abilities on guns).

[Soul Wielder:] Ability to summon the power of your soul and materialize your heart in front of you, your abilities depend on your heart and willpower, it is one of the most mysterious classes and also one of the rarest ones.

[Alchemist:] Able to create potions with different effects, they can both sell them or use them in battle to support others or themselves, potion effects can vary from individual to individual, allowing Alchemists to even fight in close-ranged combats with the right potions and ingredients.

[Succubus/Incubus:] Control the desires of others through their charm and allure, they can drain energy from their victims through physical contact, although most people in this class use it for sex work and to enjoy a luxurious life since they are the most demanded people in dating/mariage.

[???:] The last and final class has almost no information because of how rare it is, people who have it do not showcase its powers, the rarest class of them all.

He took a shower and then wore back the same uniform while leaving his room, he didn't have a backpack, but honestly who cares.

...

[Skill: Class Wheel]

[Type:] Chosen One (locked)

[Description:] ???

...

He inspected that panel while taking the walk to the school, but found nothing that indicated any way to unlock it, maybe it would come out later.

On the way to 'Lotus' Academy, he noticed many other people wearing the same uniform as him, although most of them either ignored his presence or when they looked at him had uncomfortable looks on their faces.

He entered the school but had a hard time finding his class (it took him one failed attempt for a teacher to tell him), and then he finally reached it.

-Class 3A-

The door was opened as people were still entering, and so he did just like them.

But when he took the first step inside the class...

All eyes fell on him.

"Holy shit..."

"He showed himself again?"

"Does he have a death wish?"

Such were the whispers that filled the room as Stark walked in.

But even in his past life, he wasn't the type to care about such things, so instead he just took a seat at back and glanced at the outside world from the window.

And thus, his first day of class started.
