6 Chapter 6: Undertaker (1/2)

Seeing the class selections pop up on his status, Wilhelm felt his blood boil in anticipation. As a long time RPG and MMO fan, Wilhelm knew that choosing your class was one of the most important steps to progression.

However, he was quite reluctant to just simply choose a class without any prior knowledge of them first. This was especially so for the secret classes, he had no idea if they were strong, or incredibly weak.

Thus, Wilhelm decided to test his luck, ”hey system, what does the pugilist class do?” he whispered, hoping for a reaction.

[Pugilist: A fighter who uses their bare hands to fight, and generally applies the mana within their body to amplify their combat prowess and unleash energy attacks. Relies on strength, agility, intelligence, and stamina. A hybrid class]

After receiving a lengthy and informative answer, Wilhelm asked about the other classes he was curious about.

[Survivalist: Someone who doesn't focus on combat, but rather their own survival. They strengthen their body and are generally great at escaping. Relies on stamina and intelligence]

Wilhelm stroked his beard in contemplation; he didn't feel compelled to pick the first two classes. Although he treasured his life, he wasn't someone who ran away from a fun fight, unless victory was absolutely impossible. Not to mention the pugilist, which would require him to spread his stat points far too thin.

As such, he directed his attention elsewhere. He was saving the best two for last. Because who wouldn't be excited when a ”secret class” popped up. In many RPG's, secret classes were often much more powerful than regular classes, granted they normally came with a catch.

Thinking to here, the system as if reading his mind, supplied him with the necessary information...

[Secret class: there are over 2500 secret classes hidden throughout the holy land, each blocked with different requirements. Once a human obtains a secret class, that class is no longer obtainable. Therefore supplying the first 1% of humanity an advantage]

”Tsk, an advantage my ass… most of us are going to die before we can even get a chance to choose a class” Wilhelm scoffed at the systems words. He felt that in theory, it was an advantage, however, he figured that once a secret class user died, that class would then, once again, become obtainable.

[Pirate: a hybrid fighter that uses whatever means necessary to win; possess a strong constitution and 'plunders' opponents. Relies on strength and agillity]

[Special conditions/requirements: You must always work for your own benefit and never pledge to anyone else]

[Gains bonus experience when stealing from the innocent]

Wilhelms expression darkened at the description of the pirate. Such an evil and selfish sounding class was not suited for him. He preferred complicated and intricate classes, as such, a glorified thief class didn't cater to his fancy.

With this in mind, he focused his attention on the 'undertaker' class. If it wasn't satisfactory, he would just settle for one of the more normal classes, at the very least, they seemed powerful in their own right.

[Undertaker: A nutjob that uses speed to fight efficiently… possess a strange infatuation with the dead and intensely studies dead bodies; resulting in the vast knowledge of the weaknesses and strengths of many creatures. Relies on agility and skillful hands]

[Special conditions/requirements: required to bury those that you kill and briefly study the dead]

[Gains bonus experience for burying the dead]

Wilhelm stared blankly at the lines of words that appeared in the middle of his line of sight. He simply couldn't comprehend why the 'secret classes' were so strange. However, the Undertaker seemed much more interesting than the pirate.

Unfortunately, Wilhelm didn't have any particular interest in the dead, alas, he figured that gaining bonus experience by merely burying bodies seemed worth his while. However, completing the same task over and over again could become quite tedious after a while, making it understandable that they were extremely bitter folk.

Upon much deliberation, Wilhelm couldn't decide whether he wanted to become an undertaker or marksman. One of the classes entailed something he was already skilled at, while the other was a secret class, potentially giving him much more power. One was risky, while the other was sure-fire.

”Ah fu*k it, what's the worse that could happen” Wilhelm whispered whilst furiously scratching his beard and selecting the undertaker class. As one who once aspired to be a magician, taking risks and gambling were his forte.
