5 elements detected.

Each class activates 1 element. Please choose an element to activate.

Element choices – Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Metal.

Enlightenment will terminate in 12 minutes and 41 seconds.'

Adam wasn't too surprised by the fact that he had to choose an element. Through his research, he already knew about the elements and that an element would activate along with a class granting the skill's an attribute.

What he was surprised about was that he had an affinity with five elemental essences. He had two classes and would, therefore, attain two elements.

The elements were Fire -> Metal -> Air -> Earth -> Water. Fire element was good against metal, metal against air, air against earth, earth against water and water against fire. This was the cycle of the elements.

There were also the elements of light and dark that were mutually harmful against each other but were moderate towards all the other elements. These were regarded as special constitutions though as a body that had these attributes could not align with any other's.

Fiends were born of the dark element as such it was seen as ominous. Whereas the light element was seen as holy because it played a great role in the war 500 years ago.

Coming back to his choices Adam did not ponder too long.

Each element represented certain attributes and it would imbibe them in the person's body and sometimes even character.

Fire represented a raging inferno.

Water represented freeflow and its ability to change states.

Metal represented sharpness and hardness.

Air represented swiftness and storm.

Earth represented tenacity and life.

Adam chose the earth and air element. He needed a robust body as both the classes did not rely on armour and he also needed to maintain his agility whether in attacks or movement.

The choices for him became very apparent when looked at closely. Also, the earth and air element were opposing elements. As such, he was able to negate one elemental disadvantage. He would not need to fear the air element completely opposing his earth element in the future. Though it would still slightly affect him.

Feeling his decision being made the sentient mind booted up.

'Elemental choice 1 – Earth.Elemental Choice 2 – Air.

Please confirm your choices.'

”Confirmed.” He had an honest feeling of déjà vu.

'Choices have been confirmed.

Finalization process recommencing.'

Adam felt a swirl in his stomach.

It felt like a black hole had emerged there and he was sucked into it.

After complete darkness for what felt like a few moments, he regained control of his body.

Opening his eyes, he realized he was back in the room.

His Palm still on the stone hovering on the pedestal. It had gone back to its heartbeat-like soothing glowing.

Suddenly a surge of energy flowed from the bottom of his feet to his head. It was a refreshing feeling like a cool breeze passing over his body.

Retracting his hand he lifted his other one and brought them up in front of his face.

His left hand was glowing brown with hints of green while a whirlwind was raging on his right palm.

”amazing! It's actually magic.” You can read about something a million times but only when you actually see it and experience it for yourself, do you truly understand its magnificence. This was what he was feeling right now. His mind was blown.

This was the activation of the elements in his body. As a low-level adventurer, it is impossible to manifest the elements without spells.

As he was enjoying the spectacle before him another notification from the sentient mind popped up.

'Notification!

2 activated elements detected in the body.

Analyzing courses of action.'

”Why should we take action against it? It's a good thing.” Adam was confused about it.

He thought about it a bit. 'There are very few actions that can be taken. What if these two opposing elements cant be housed in the same body? Will it deactivate one element? That will waste my choice and leave me with only a single element.'

He panicked slightly. It would truly be a disaster if that outcome were to take place.

'Luckily', before he could panic any more his sentient mind relayed another message.

'3 options for future action have been confirmed applicable.

Option 1 – Deactivate 1 element.'

His heart sank reading it. But he kept reading on.

'Option 2 – Deactivate 2 elements'

'That's literally both of them! I will literally be worse off than any other adventurer!' He felt like he was only further sinking down a sinkhole with these options.

'Option 3 – Fuse elements

Would you like to proceed with a choice of an option or terminate this course of action?'

Adam almost fell over. Was his sentient mind learning and growing up to be a sadist?
