Earth is doomed - 2

The assistant followed. As you can see, you have fairly high perks, for a human being that is. On Earth, humans can have statistic reaching at most 20. Your title is important because it defines your highest achievement. We have selected you as Aries, the one to lead the fallen Aries household. You will have to better yourself and lead and develop your household to create a place to live in in Astros. Now that the introduction is finished, know that for the next 12 hours, you may ask questions that I will answer to the best of my capabilities. In fairness, we are giving you, all chosen, 10.000 points to use in the system shop. It is a limited feature that you can access only in this room, in order to have higher chances to survive your impeding adventures. Know that the system shop is linked to other chosen ones, so exclusive and unique perks can be lost to other chosen.

When she finished speaking, a huge window appeared in front of Ezyze. From skills, to classes, objects, summoning, equipment, familiar, ranging from 1 to 9999 points, the sight was quite dazzling. The unique ego sword of light, with beautiful intricately carved lines on a black handle, with a moonlight-like blade was worth 8000 points. It allowed the user to gain huge boosts on attributes, and the ego sword would fire light spell on its own. For 9999 points, the user had access to the form a contract with Drogos, the ash bringer: a red and black dragon with apparently enormous firepower and access to unique magique. For 7500 points, one could be a dragon slayer, a class that allowed the user to gain great potential for mastering any weapon and access to unique magique that allowed one to slay dragons. The list went on and on, displaying such unique features, as well as Phoenix poop for 15 points, slime juice for 2 points and blue frozen tiger's claw for 8 points.

Ezyze skimmed quickly through the store. When he went through the familiar heading again, Drogos was nowhere to be seen. He understood that others started their purchases in frenzy, but with 12 hours ahead of him, it was wiser to ask for information first.

What is the Aries household?

Fufufu, you are quite collected despite seeing this spending spree around you! The Aries household is from the 12 official zodiac sign. They are from another lost world and lost wars against foreign races. They were presented with the opportunity to go under someone appropriate to lead their household, or go extinct, they chose the former.

So they are weak?

Not quite so, the Aries household was a former empire spamming over 2 of the 6 continents of their former world. They are a bipedal race with horns and they are very good at waging war. Because of their extensive battles and history, they developed a number of martial arts and techniques that can transform a being into something capable of slaying leviathan or other amazingly powerful beat and monster. They are strong warriors.

Are the others chosen leading other Zodiac household?

I cannot disclose such information.

What is this Aries title?

The Aries title allow you to be the head and command the Aries household, you have access to part of their power and thus have the hard-headed Passive skill.

What does this skill do?

For now, it allows you to be more immersed on what you truly focus on, gaining highger experience and mastery. For now, it reduces damages that go to your head. In the future, if you pass the trials that come your way, you can have access to more things unique to the Aries clan.

What are these traits and A and S letters? Is it similar to novels?

It actually is! From F to A rank, people have different starting points. A rank is high, while F is low. A S rank is above A and means that you have a strong affinity for something, which means that it is easier to understand, gain experience and improve on these abilities. Having an S rank was one of the things for which we selected you as a chosen.

What are the other reasons?

What you did in your life, your aspirations, statistics and what we thought would be relevant factors to lead a faction. I cannot disclose more on the subject.

Is a class something that I can have only by buying it there?

No, once you reach Level 10, you will have access different class, depending on your actions, capabilities and stats, you can evolve these classes or keep them until the legendary rank, which will fundamentally change you as a human being. Some classes are however only available in the stores and are most powerful.

With a back and forth, Ezyze understood the following. Astros is a fantasy world of sword and magic. Different bipedal races live there, as well as monsters: beasts and such. Humans and other bipedal races are weakers. They usually have lower statistics, when monsters have higher statistics for each level they get. One gets a experience only when one kills another being. The experience can be attributed to specific classes, thus raising the class' level and the level overall. Because they are more simple minded, monsters' experience is attribute to their level, and until they reach a certain threshold in intelligence, they can choose themselves.

Since monsters are stronger, they have five milestones. For each milestone, they can evolve, gaining higher stats and specific traits, such as the ability to summon lightning or feather made of metal.They however cannot have a class, or only one, if they are bipedal.

Bipedal races have all access to classes. Humans, the weakest of them all, can have 3 classes. While the primary and secondary classes are similar in their requirements, the third class requires comparatively to the first and second, more experience to level up. Classes can be promoted to ones of higher rank until the fifth rank, the legendary rank. The ranks are: normal - rare - epic - unique and legendary. A higher grade class needs more experience to level up. At rank 5, the class will change fundamentally the user, giving him special skills, higher stats and other features.

Specific actions and classes allows to create skills, and to level up skills, one need repeated actions.

The chosen are the head of specific households. The household members can reproduce, and even if they reach adulthood quicker than 9 months, it takes some time before they are combat ready. After succeeding in trials, the household will have new members invoked.

The chosen ones will be located in the enormous Southern continent, one of Astros' 5 continents. The size of each continent is about 4 to 7 times the surface of Earth and the chosen cannot know where in the Southern continent they will appear.

Each system user can have one familiar, a beast or a monster with which they form a contract. They share some of the acquired experience and can communicate telepathically. It is usually beneficial for both side as it allows both higher chances at surviving. Chosen however have another window, 'faction', where they can see the members of their faction, their race and the number of the race's member. Also, chosen can look at their factions' status window and can see their two highest traits: their affinity for something. The 'trait'part is available only to chosen ones.

When spawned on Astros, the chosen ones will be able to summon their faction. They will have access to a small space from which they can summon objects: an inventory. They will have basic equipment, fiting their trait, as well as special purchase from the system store in their inventory.

Monsters are usually stronger than humans, however weaker ones will grow more powerful along each evolution, comparatively to one with stronger base forms.

No individual reached the limit of their level and everyone can level up their class and form, even past the 5th stage.

Lastly, Astros is in a relatively infantile version, and routes to other continents haven't been possible yet: separated by huge oceans, no one managed to go against weather hazards and huge monsters roaming the sea. In each of the other 4 continents, another failed race such as human beings from Earth, earthlings are being sent to Astros. Also, until they qualified enough to be sent there, Earthlings will be able to monitor the chosen's actions, albeit not see their faces.

It was a lot to take on but Ezyze had a better understanding of what would happen next. Still, not everything made sense, and some details were not fully develop but the assistant told him that kore things will be unveiled on Astros. He was unsure whether he would be worthy of such position, worried about his mother, friends and family, about leaving everything that he knew. Nevertheless, he had to stay collected and do his best to establish something great for his family and friends, as well as other humans. He checked again the shop and saw the not only Drogos couldn't be bought, but some had bought the summonings Lion people, frozen elves, Earth centaurs, the class heart ripper and solarmancer of doom, the ego sword of light, casket of Nevros the great lich Archmage and heart of a Nemean Lion. He tried to remember this as they can very well be future opponents. With 10.000 points, he had several options.

He could focus it all on itself: having a strong familiar, unique class and or perks.

He could bank it all on his faction: having more clans under him, objects that can benefit them all, such as scrolls with special knowledge, anvil to create unique equipments.

Also, he could have immediate strength, or what he thinks higher growth options. After computing several options, and in order not to waste points, he chose.

Familiar: the golden royal queen - 5000 points. An extremely rare race of bees, they went extinct for the honey they produced. The queen produces such golden honey, as well as larvaes.

Summoning:

Starving goblin clan - 1200 points. Goblins are among the weakest monsters, they however have a high reproduction rate. The starving goblin clan evolves according to what it ate. Summons 20 goblins and a goblin with strong traits

Starving goblin hero - 200 points. Summons a starving goblin with strong traits.

Objects:

Essence of the Mermaid king - 1700 points. The mermaid king was the ruler and most powerful wizard under the sea, his mana was as vast as the sea and magic stronger than a typhon. Upon consumption, the user gains +500 intelligence, and it recovers Mana as quickly as the mermaid king.

Heart of the herald of the barbaric savage troll -1900 points. The barbaric savage troll herald is a barbaric figure, defender of the savage trolls race. Scarless, it was as if he was never wonded. Endurance x10.

And just like that 10.000 points were spent. Ezyze chose to assure his own survival and magic capacity as it was S rank. Also, having more manpower thanks to the goblins was welcome, and since they could breed quickly, it seemed to be possible to establish something close to a unit quickly. The golden royal bee was the biggest and most expensive gamble. As his only familiar, Ezyze hoped that the golden honey was something really useful and the capability to produce offspring was very welcome. Having only 2 hours remaining on the clock, he prepared himself to be sent to Astros.

Congratulations Ezyze, you have spent your points well. Before I send you to Astros, there are 2 things that you should choose. What kind of weapon and armor would you like to have?

After going through several options and considering his A rank affinity for axes, he decides on an axe with a lenght of slightly under 1 meter, with quite the bigger blade. It was a two handed axe that could still be hopefully swang with one hand with good momentum. A leather armor for mobility and quite good defense was his.

Now, for the last hurdle. The Aries household has three figurehead that can be thought of heroes. Which one do you want to accompany the 20 Aries members?

Choose between:

Arnold the strong: a rank 4 battle axe wielder, Arnold is a strong warrior always at the Frontline of battles. He overpowers his opponents with strength and survives thanks to his monstrous physique. He is a rank 4 legion cutter and knows all the Aries Axe and haleberd techniques.

Arthur the wise: a rank 3 sword user, Arthur is a strong warrior, and knows all Aries blade techniques. He is a rank 3 force swordman and has the title of Aries librarian.

Arman the breaker: a rank 4 spear and shield user, Arman is a staunch defender of his clan. He always exploits openings and manage to defend most attacks, as well as swiftly move on from adversaries thanks to his strong affinity for lightning Mana. He is a rank 4 storm hoplite and knows all Aries Lance technique and some Aries Mana technique.
