Upon seeing the message, a smile couldn't help but form on Nox's handsome face. He was now fifteen years old, and his features were much more refined. Though he still hadn't achieved his maximum potential, it wasn't wrong to say his looks were currently the best in the entire western region.
"Finally." Nox exhaled sharply as he looked at the glimmering screen. Never had he thought he would be so happy to see this boring screen again. Reining in all his emotions, Nox returned his gaze to the screen.
A visual countdown was running on the blue screen.
[10...]
[9...]
[8...]
[7...]
This countdown made Nox's heart beat loudly in his chest. Due to his past experiences, he could tell that after this countdown, he would receive his rewards.
[6...]
[5...]
"What would it be?" Nox's mind was blank. He tried to come up with different things the system could reward him with, but nothing seemed to come to mind. Finally, he decided to stop thinking and just wait for the countdown to come to an end.
But this was easier said than done.
[4...]
The timer was counting at an extremely slow pace that Nox's eyes nearly bled due to not blinking for a prolonged period of time. He bit his lips and couldn't help but curse under his breath.
[3...]
"Are these gods messing with me?!" He clenched his fist. "I waited for five years, and you guys just have to shove this in my face."
[2...]
Just when Nox's patience was wearing thin, the countdown eventually came to an end.
[1...]
[0...]
Though the countdown had ended, Nox's expression was still filled with anxiety.
[Congratulations, you have...]
"Come on!" Nox shouted eagerly, his voice so loud that Nyx, Aina, and Nathan, who were still in the dining area, heard him and wondered if he was alright. He sounded as if he was in agony; or more accurately, like a kid who was being denied his present. In the end, they decided to go back to their food. Nox was very strong, and he could easily handle himself.
Back in the room...
[Congratulations, you have... Awakened a subclass]
"Huh?" Nox's eyes widened in shock, his mouth hanging open when he saw the words in bright blue hovering above his eyes.
"This... a subclass?" Nox spoke in a slightly trembling voice. 'I can get a subclass?'
What was a subclass? They were secondary roles or specializations that granted additional abilities or benefits, complementing one's primary class.
Nox knew about the concept from Earth; however, based on his conversations with others, he learned that such things didn't apply to the Awakened. In fact, most didn't even know of the existence of something like this.
After a moment of thinking about it, Nox concluded that this was yet another thing that was exclusive to him.
'Now what is this subclass?' Because Nox had stopped to think, even the system momentarily froze as it was connected to its host's mind.
As such, while Nox thought about learning more information about the subclass, the frozen screen continued.
[Ding! You have awakened the subclass Spirit Tamer!]
Spirit Tamer: Death is not the end but the beginning. The Spirit Tamer subclass grants you the power to see and interact with spirits that roam the world of Eos. You can tame these ethereal creatures to become your sword and shield in battle. For your current level, you are restricted to a maximum of 20 spirit companions!
Nox paused for a moment after reading the description, then as if it had finished processing everything, his head exploded into a cloud of smoke.
A maniacal grin spread across Nox's face as he fell backward and started laughing like someone who had gone mad.
"Spirit Tamer? Hahahaha! This five-year wait period was worth it!" Nox laughed so hard that tears were starting to come out of his eyes. It was just too difficult for him not to be happy!
The sheer thought of summoning an army of invisible specters to overwhelm his enemies was simply too thrilling! Yes, you heard him right, with this ability, Nox could amass his own private force of specters to do his bidding! Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
A private force of ghosts! Important things must be said twice!
And the most exciting part of it all was that his enemies wouldn't even see them.
Of course, if they invested in high-level magical items, but still, getting your hands on such powerful items costs a fortune and is very rare.
And were there even items like that? Nox adopted an extremely serious expression and pondered like a scholar who was about to unravel the mysteries of the universe.
After a while, when he couldn't think of anything, he stopped stressing about this and moved on.
It took Nox extreme willpower not to run outside in the middle of the night to test this out already, but he had to rein himself in and return his focus to the screen. There were still some more rewards, after all.
[Ding! You have earned the title Hybrid Slayer.]
Hybrid Slayer Effect: Increases damage dealt to hybrid creatures by 20%. Grants a 10% chance to identify the weaknesses of hybrid enemies (Human/beast) upon engagement.
'Hmm, not bad.'
Ding! You have awakened the title Anomaly.
Anomaly
Effect: Increases resistance to status effects by 15%.
Boosts chance of triggering random skills or abilities during dire situations.
Amplifies the unpredictability of your actions in battle, leaving enemies unable to anticipate your moves.
[Ding! You have awakened a new class skill.]
[Command Chain (Active New): Issue coordinated commands to all beasts at once, boosting their morale and stats for a short period.]
[Ding! You have unlocked System Assistant.]
Nox waited for some time, but no new messages seemed to come again, which meant that this was the end of the rewards.
'I wonder when my next evolution will be.' Nox thought eagerly. If evolution was this rewarding, he couldn't wait for his next evolution. Thinking of this, Nox decided to ask the newly unlocked function.
[The next evolution will be at level 40, and no, it won't take years.]
"Phew, that's a relief." Nox exhaled. He didn't think he would be able to go another torturous five years without his system.
Speaking of the system, he hadn't seen his status screen in a long time. With a simple thought, the system interface appeared before him.
