Chapter 17 (2/2)

The Magician also has three choices.

The first is the Wizard Cla.s.s.

This is the Cla.s.s that follows the Magician’s path, possessing extremely powerful Magic. It is the strongest Cla.s.s if one is placed in a group battle.

The second Cla.s.s is Sage. They lack offensive skills compared to a Magician, but they have skills that give buffs to allies and debuffs to enemies (like reducing the strength stat).

They are not suited for personal combat but give an overall boost to their allies.

The third is a summoner, allowing one to get summoning beasts from a different world. The Cla.s.s also has their own offensive skills, so the ability to do personal combat is stronger.

All of the Cla.s.ses have their own charm, but the wiki strategy guides recommend the Sage Cla.s.s. The buffs that a Sage has affects the entire party unlike the Healer Cla.s.s, so the firepower is raised overall.

It’s probably fun to raise the stats of the party members and one’s own.

But…… I feel the conditions to raise a Sage is pretty strict.

The reason is that too many skills rely on the Mind stat.

The [Mind] and [Intelligence] stats affect the increase of MP, skills, Magic Power, and Magic Defense.

[Mind] greatly increases the defense against magic, and affects the effectiveness of healing and buff skills.

[Intelligence] greatly increases the Magic Power, and affects the attacking skills.

Raising the [Mind] stat raises the Magic Power too, but it doesn’t rise as much as the [Intelligence] stats, and the reverse is true.

If a particular skill has no annotation to it, the power of the skill is decided according to the Magic Power.

In conclusion, the power of the Sage’s skills relies greatly on the [Mind] stats, but the first Cla.s.s, Magician, with a low intelligence would mean that the effectiveness of its available skills will be going down. It is a contradiction.

Since one cannot change the points once they are allocated, changing to a Sage Cla.s.s would mean that the points have to be added to the [Mind] stats from the start.

But the power from a Magician’s Mana Bolt is reliant on the intelligence stats, and the early raising of the cla.s.s can be visibly affected from the start.

If I think about it a little, it’s best to give up on aiming for a Sage.

So should I go as a Wizard or Summoner…..?

There are flaws on either side.

The skills of the Wizard Cla.s.s are the strongest, but there’s a weakness as the incantation time is overly long. On the other hand, a Summoner’s expenditure in Mana is huge, and the flaw is that it’s easy to run out of mana.

Hmm, which should I choose?

I ponder and compare the two skillsets.

In this way, it’s kind of fun to think about the skills.

But I don’t really fantasize about [I shall form the greatest skill combination] with the limited skill points.

Though the Another World’s forum is becoming heated up. There are some volunteers who created a non-official simulator to calculate the points. It can simulate which skills to acquire according to the level.

Despite using this, it takes me 10 minutes to compare different skills as though I’m in a dilemma to piece a jigsaw puzzle together with groans.

I temper with it before I realize what I am doing.

Is it possible…… I think as I tinker with the simulator.

— As if the pieces clink together neatly, I compose a skillset according to my imagination.

Ha, hahaha. This. Isn’t this good?

A lot of skill points is certainly needed and I might not be able to reach this required high level in the Open Beta since there’s a time limit, but there’s value in it as it appears interesting.

The update is finally over when I’m glowing with self-satisfaction as I decide my target.

Alright, let me do it at once~

Login, and set up the characters.

Since the character data from the Closed Beta is deleted, I have to remake the character. The name is still Chaos.

The character’s gender and appearance can be changed. The previous character settings are based on my own appearances, and I want to make it similar this time too.

Looking at my finished character suddenly makes me want to mess with it a little, so I increase the Body Weight’s parameter.

Woah, so this is how I look like when I’m fat.

Since the stats don’t change, being thin or fat should not affect the character.

If I really want to, I can make a fat agile thief or a loli-body type warrior.

Since I have the chance to try it out I tried changing my hairstyle in mega ways; silver hair and heterochromia. Finally, I made a character that is taller than my height with a fat character and straight standing hair.

This is bad, I messed around with the settings a little too much.

Erm, reverting back the hair and wait…… Right, I reverted to the original?

I pull back myself together.

When I start the game, I can see several choices for the starting locations.

There were three choices: Malcott, s...o...b..usen, Clermont.

Malcott is the Caastal kingdom’s capital.

I remember that s...o...b..usen belongs to the Vixels Empire, while Clermont is the capital of the Commune Allies.

It seems like they changed the location to the cities instead of the empty forest. Though it might be a just a bug the previous time.

Since I chose the Caastal kingdom in the Closed Beta, how about choosing s...o...b..usen this time?

Fortunately, the surroundings of the Vixels empire is also included in the wiki guide.

Well, let me begin my adventure!

I will also remove the chapters from my website during the weekends. If you want to keep the series, please copy the chapters into a notepad. If anyone is reading this elsewhere, remember to turn on your adblocks because I didn’t give anyone else permission to publish my translations, and the author definitely did not give permission to publish his series anywhere else. The only exception you should see this series TLed would be if someone else got his permission. In the case of MTL, you do need a little bit of grammar knowledge and maybe yomichan/rikaichamp equivalent for dictionary searching.

The hero Chaos who had won great fame within the Caastal kingdom disappeared after defeating the Elder Treant. At that time, Wilfred contracted the Adventurer Guild in order to find him. But there were many adventurers who leaked out the existence of Chaos, and countless people impersonated him. Thus the request was canceled, and this event was logged.

At the same time, there was someone in the neighboring Vixels Empire who had the same name as him. He was also a Magician with black hair but he had heterochromia, having black and blue eyes. At that time, the magic skills available could not change the colors of the eyes, so the Adventurer Guild treated him as a person with the same name.

But considering the achievements that he had, it was more persuasive to say that he was the hero Chaos.

The world continued to debate on the reason why he had to change his eye colors, and also how he did it. There was the opinion where he changed the color of his eyes because he disliked becoming too famous, but it was refuted because he continued to use the name Chaos. Another theory was that he was possessed by a Magic Eye when he disappeared. There was also another claim that there was a Magician group called “Chaos”, but the scholars said it was two entirely different things and a crazy talk.

Everyone knew about the heroic tales of Chaos in the current era. The mysteries that he left behind were still left unsolved.
