Chapter 889 Four Pillars: The Final Rewards (6)
Once he was done listening to the words that came out of the man's mouth, Valyr had a blank expression on his face.
Staring at the screen that had popped up in front of him, the young man looked back at Vaughn, who was grinning as he looked at him.
Inwardly taking in a deep breath to compose himself, he then returned his attention to the screen in front of him, reading through its contents once more.
[Vaughn Darkstar has offered to give you, Valyr Zeihardt, the Ancient grade class 'The First Blacksmith'.]
[Would you like to accept?]
"The First Blacksmith..."
Focusing his attention on the name of the Ancient grade class he would obtain, Valyr slightly furrowed his brows as he began to rummage through his memories regarding the First Forger.
Eventually arriving at the memory involving the First Forger's ascension to Rank 1, the young man soon recalled the Ancient grade class the man had gotten then, prompting him to look at Vaughn with a slightly confused expression.
"The First Blacksmith... doesn't make sense," said the young man. "Didn't you obtain another Ancient grade class back when you were the First Forger? Trailblazer of the Forging Path, was it?"
"That would be the exact class." Vaughn nodded in response. "While I was the First Forger helping humanity finally extricate themselves from the clutches of the other races once and for all, that was the class I was using."
"...But you do remember that I have the Authority stat, right?"
While the man let out a bit of laughter at his words, Valyr narrowed his eyes for a bit before slightly widening it in realization, inwardly admonishing himself for having overlooked such important information.
"That means you reset your system again after being kicked out of Veldanyr?" said Valyr, asking the man for more clarification.
In response, Vaughn faintly smiled with a nod. "Only after I was able to establish myself on another planet. It'd be weird for me to fall back to Veldanyr not long after being kicked out one last time."
"In any case, I kept up what I was doing back on Veldanyr for a bit more. Finding out if there was a tier of classes I have yet to obtain," the man continued. "Thankfully, a chance encounter with someone had allowed me to figure out the rarity limit on classes for those below the Myth level."
"The Divine classes, right?" Valyr said in response, prompting Vaughn to look at him with slight surprise on his face. "As far as I know, you'd need to affiliate yourself with an actual god in order to get your hands on one." Geett the latest novels at novelhall.comon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic.
These six rarities were the tiers of classes that people could attain without much issues.
Of course, aiming for the higher rarities, such as Legendary and Mythic, would need one to put in more effort into it. But if one were to fulfill its requirements, obtaining a class of that rarity was a done deal.
If one were to go one step higher, they would enter the territory of Ancient classes.
Unlike Mythic classes, where one would need to put significantly more effort than everyone else at Rank 0, Ancient classes needed one to fulfill requirements that would be considered nigh impossible at that level.
However, as long as one knew their way around the system and had access to great amounts of resources and knowledge, it was still considered doable.
Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Divine classes.
For one, one would have to fulfill requirements that were far more stringent compared to even the most stringent of Ancient classes.
"The same concept applies to Ancient classes," continued the man. "However, rather than strive for the pinnacle, one must now be at the forefront of that path, someone paving the way for others to tread upon."
"Of course, there are also other ways to approach it, such as becoming the founder of a path that would eventually become widespread throughout the universe."
"Unlike Mythic classes, only one being within a star system could have that Ancient classes. In other words, you could have different people with the same Mythic class as long as they're in other planets, but only one Ancient class in that same scope."
"Last but not least would be the Divine classes." As these words left Vaughn's mouth, Valyr had pushed his screen to the side, wanting to focus more of his attention on the man's explanation.
"To be honest, Divine classes would only be obtainable if one were to become a Myth," said Vaughn as he scratched the back of his head. "If one tried to do so before they reached the Myth level, they'd have to affiliate themselves with the god whose path aligned with theirs."
"But in essence, to obtain a Divine class is to reach a level of skill in a certain aspect that would be considered godlike in nature."
"As to what level exactly godlike would be... it's not really that easy to quantify." Vaughn wryly smiled at those words. "In any case, only one being could have that Divine class within a galaxy."
"You could have an Apostle of Light, an Apostle of Flames, and an Apostle of Water within the same galaxy, but you can't have two Apostles of Light come from the same galaxy. Same applies to other rarities I've mentioned before with their own limitations."
"What does your explanation have to do with the Ancient grade Growth class, then?" asked Valyr as he went through the man's explanation in his mind.
"It has a lot to do with it." Vaughn smiled in response. "After all, if you were to think of it from another perspective, an Ancient grade Growth class means that not only are you at the forefront of a specific path, but you also have the potential to achieve a godlike level of skill in that path."
"In the case of the First Blacksmith class, that means there's the potential for one's skill to go even beyond godlike."
"So, how about it?" Feeling like he'd given Valyr more than enough information at this point, Vaughn looked at the young man with expectation. "Are you gonna take the class?"
In response, the young man rubbed his chin for a bit in contemplation, bringing the screen containing the prompt in front of his face once more.
Looking at it for a bit in silence, Valyr soon flashed a grin at Vaughn before accepting the prompt.
