Chapter 60: Community
Okay, later, I will think about it later.
First, let's pick the name for our group and for myself.
Welcome to the Community! Your group is now registered as "Group 4," and your alias will be "Noname." Your daily time limit is 10 minutes; after that, your access to the Community will be cut off.
Then a window appears, looking similar to a forum style.
Easy difficulty: 1869/2000
Normal difficulty: 734/1000
Hard difficulty: 330/500
Hell difficulty: 56/250
Community tournament (currently unavailable)
So yup, Hell is the highest difficulty as expected. What surprises me is that there is a forum with all difficulties in the same place.
What do the numbers mean? The number of survivors out of the total amount that got into the tutorial?
Also, what the hell is with those numbers? Why are there so many people?
And why does Hell difficulty have so much lower numbers in comparison to others?
"..."
Ok, never mind the last part.
And also, what the fuck is the community tournament?
So many questions.
I touch on Hell difficulty, and a thread opens.
AnotherOneHere (Hell, TheGuild) - Hello.
Lootenant (Hell, WhiteWing) - What the hell is this?
Bard (Hell, IDK) - I thought I would get some info from you guys.
Hadwin (Hell, Group 4) -Are you also on the second floor?
What the hell, Hadwin? Did you use your name as your alias?
The messages move as more and more people type in, and at this point, it's easy to guess that the first is the alias, then there is difficulty and group name.
As for now, no one from other difficulties joins this thread, and when I try to switch, I am unable to, and the system says it's unavailable at the moment.
AnotherOneHere (Hell, TheGuild) - Is your second floor also named Mana-Infused Kingdom? Small hills, a lot of grass?
Bard (Hell, IDK) - Yes, but I don't see anyone other than our group here. To our left, there is a stone as big as a house with a lot of rocks around it. To its right, there is a small hill going sharply downwards.
Brainiac (Hell, WhiteWing) - OMG, same! Different dimensions or copies of the same floor?
Bard (Hell, IDK)- Probably. We also didn't meet anyone other than our group on the 1st floor. Trolls, wolves, spider matriarch, Cinderbear?
Hadwin (Hell, Group 4) - Yes, the same here.
AnotherOneHere (Hell, TheGuild) - That's it then. I guess we won't be seeing each other. We can't rule it out but...
Brainiac (Hell, WhiteWing)- How did you guys deal with Cinderbear?
Oh! I quickly join in.
Noname (Hell, Group 4) - Fuck Cinderbear!
Brainiac (Hell, WhiteWing)- Hell yes, Noname, fuck that furry asshole!
Oi, be more careful, it sounds kinda...
A few more people join, and everyone is happy to complain and vent a bit.
Noname (Hell, Group 4) - Did you pick your classes already?
Brainiac (Hell, WhiteWing) - Most of us did; there's no sense in waiting any longer.
Noname (Hell, Group 4) - Anything interesting? Hidden stuff?
Brainiac (Hell, WhiteWing) - Just s small one. When you ***********
Brainiac (Hell, WhiteWing) - Lol, it got censored. Good luck, Noname!
In the end, it's not such a hard decision, and I pick Mana Channeler.
Congratulations! You have picked your first class - Mana Channeler. In the future, you will be able to upgrade your class or change it for a new one fitting your actions up until that point within the tutorial.
Another window pops up:
Congratulations! You have acquired your Primary Class - Mana Channeler.
Mana Channeler:
Active Skill: Mana Surge - The user can temporarily increase the flow of mana within their body, boosting the power of their magical abilities for a short duration.
Passive Skill: Mana Flow (Rare) - The user's mana flows more efficiently throughout their body, reducing the amount of mana needed for skill activation and improving their overall magical control.
Bonuses:
+10 to Mana
+2 to Constitution
Yes!
YES!
More mana!
Huhu.
Huhu...
I might have a problem.
Whatever! If I were a telepathic corgi, I totally wouldn't be screaming (Mana!) instead of (Food!).
I can stop anytime I want.
Anyway, why the hell is there a (Rare) thingy in the name of my shiny new skill? Yeah, system? Why don't you grade everything at once?
But it's okay; I am happy. Two new skills? One of them passive? Boosting magical abilities? Improving overall magical control?
Heck yeah!
Okay, breathe in.
Breathe out.
Now repeat that.
Good.
And do not test them now; you need your mana to keep your body together until you heal at least somewhat. Also, there is a bunch of assholes around you waiting for a chance to take a bite of you.
Overall, I like my new class, and I am excited to test it.
Now, let's check skill upgrades.
A new window pops up in front of me.
Congratulations! You can now upgrade your level 10 skill by using the skill upgrade token. Currently, there are two skills available for upgrade. Choose wisely!
Focus:
Deep Focus: Increases the intensity and effectiveness of your focus, further enhancing your magical abilities and concentration during combat.
Focus Extension: Lengthen the duration of your focused state, allowing you to maintain concentration for longer periods without experiencing mental fatigue.
Dual Focus: Train your mind to focus on two tasks simultaneously, allowing you to perform multiple actions at once with greater efficiency.
Focus Synergy: Improve the synergy between your focus and other skills, allowing you to combine their effects for more potent results.
Mana Manipulation:
Mana Amplification: Increase the potency of your mana manipulation, enabling you to generate more powerful magical effects.
Advanced Mana Manipulation: Enhance your control over mana, allowing for more precise and intricate manipulation of magical energies.
Mana Intensification: Strengthen the potency of your mana manipulation, enabling you to generate more powerful magical effects with less effort.
Mana Sensitivity: Heighten your sensitivity to mana in your surroundings, allowing you to detect and track mana sources more easily.
I notice one of the skill upgrades.
Huh? Did I see it right?
