"Everyone said that the ascension space differs for each individual"

Roland had gone through books and procured as much information as he could Supposedly the first tiot awarded a class It was an afterward The next tih soed fro ite puzzles

"Some people said that they find themselves in a cave with many doors, the classes that they can use are behind those doors"

Roland was holding onto a book that was related to classes and how you unlocked higher tiers His Tier 1 class of choice was the et this one

"My ence and willpower, so there isn't really any other class that fits h for the acolyte class either"

The other caster class that he had the stats for was the acolyte, from this one you could advance into a tier 2 priest This was your general healing class, but unless you were soet a chance at it

"It says that you can sign up to the church and after you go through their baptism you can also attain this class"

The boy that was close to ten rubbed his chin Through the five years, he had been here he had grown a habit of talking to himself Besides his maid Martha and a cheeky brat, no one really talked to him, even when they did it was more yes or no type of answers or questions

"Soon I will be able to leave this place"

He was a noble and even though his family was like this they still had to take care of hih their ascension would start attending school There were separate schools for young hts, so he would be free of his faes, if he did well he could earn hie

'Free real estate! Though I still have to pay taxes'

The closer the day of freedoes, gravity es ones that could turn into massive demons or beasts There were various kinds and you could pick and choose out of the pile if you earned the required skills

The es Fire, wind, earth, and water there were some hidden ones or harder to reach but these four were considered the basic four If you ious tier 3 Elementalist class which was one of the better ones

"There are so leamed, he could wait to embark on his journey There was no li that li at least 25 levels of the class you were in Tier 1 classes had to be done till the end as they had a level limit of 25

"An Elee classes aren't bad either, a Fire-Frost e one as it colanced at the other classes as well, you could even coic-Swordsht were also possible but were quite hard to achieve People that wanted these classes had to be both good in physical attributes as well as the e opens up so ic with a lot of classes, you can even be an enchanter or a h there aren't that es wouldn't want to work as a blacksmith Well, not like I have to worry about that too ical horseshoes isn't the way for h the class book onceo too sleep before the big day to over to remind Roland of toht Martha"

The next day it was raining and the clouds were blocking out the sun This didn't bother Roland though, he was pu could break his spirit The fact that Ada over the ascension ritual crystal didn't shake hi Master, your father is out and your brothers are busy at the knight academy, please take this"

He handed hihtly blue quartz crystal and was quite symmetrical

"Ah sure, busy as always, what else is new?"

The Baron was a busy h ranking official in the army and had to train the army soldiers He had earned his rank thanks to his battle achievehts but he was the first one to hit it big

"Yes let us begin, please sit down and concentrate on the crystal, you don't need to do anything else master Roland"

No special place was required, even though the crystal would 'take' him somewhere his real body would remain in place If what the book said was true, then even if he stayed in the trial space for o by in the material world People speculated that soic pulled the crystal user's soul somewhere where time and space worked differently

Roland nodded and sat dohile holding the crystal with both his hands So with Martha were in the room with him, they were e class and pass it on to the family head

He read it in the book and it said that there was nothing special to activating this crystal He focused on it and soon enough he felt a strange reaction The crystal started glowing brighter and brighter and he felt as if he was getting drawn to it In awent dark, he felt like so on and tossed hi down

"W-what?"

The momentary darkness subsided and he found hi upwards and there were glass doors behind hinized this place

"Huh? I'? No I'm still a 10 year old"

"That book said that this ascension space could be strange I guess this isn't "

He cli where he was His old apart winded while going up This time around with the increased stats and stamina he felt normal, stood in front of his apartoes nothing"

He grabbed the door handle and flicked his wrist, the fa was heard He pushed the door open and just looked inside

"It's really my roo or anything There was a living roo area and he only had enough space for a bed on the side along with a desk for his PC
