Chapter 38: Choosing a class

It didn't end there, and he heard another system-wide announcement.

[The first player has passed the Novice Village. Hades is awarded 200 fame points. The Fame Ranking is unlocked.]

A proud smile appeared on his face as he checked the ranking as well.

[Fame Ranking:

Rank     Player   Fame Points 

 1)       Hades 200 ]

"Nice. I wish I could see the expression on that bastard Lucifer's face." He chuckled as he started walking towards the kingdom.

Back in a different beast valley, a person was going through a dark cave and fighting the spider demons when the person heard the system-wide announcement.

A frown appeared on the person's face.

Ryder was allowed entry as he showed the guards the pass given by Village Elder.

He entered the city. The last time he was here, he had to ask directions from people, but this time he didn't need to do it.

He straight-up walked to a Church to get his class. 

He was ready to choose a class, but he never realized that things weren't going to be how he thought.

Ryder walked towards the church, and after 29 minutes, he reached the church. It was a place where one could get classes after passing the novice village trials.

He stepped inside and was greeted by a priest.

"How may I help you, young man?" The priest asked Ryder.

"Sir, I came here to join the order of the goddess and be bestowed a class." He said.

It was something one must say to get a class.

"Oh, you must be one of the players. The special humans that are blessed by the goddess'. Follow me, young man," He said with a smile as he started walking towards the deeper parts of the church.

Ryder followed the man.

The priest stopped in front of a door. There was a special symbol on the door.

It was a symbol that Ryder had seen hundreds of times. It was the symbol of Divinity.

The priest opened the door and looked at the man.

"Go inside, Young man. You can select one of the 5 classes inside." The priest said with a gentle smile on his face.

Ryder entered the room.

Although from the outside, it looked like a simple room. From the inside, it was like a hall. The hall was even bigger than the main hall of the church.

There were 5 tables at the other end of the hall, and 5 people were sitting in a chair behind those tables.

"Hey, Look! A boy is here! Finally, someone came. It was getting so boring." 

A woman was sitting behind one of the tables. She was wearing a magician robe and held a staff in her hand.

"Hey, boy! Come here, quick! We can get it done faster if we start right now." The mage said.

Ryder couldn't help but smile wryly as he heard her words. He couldn't help but think that her words could so easily be misunderstood.

He stepped forward.

"Hey, Tracy! Don't try to steal someone from me! He's a man! Of course, he'll choose to be a warrior." A heavy voice came from nearby.

A heavily armored man was sitting on the table right beside her. He had a bulky body and looked to be in his early forties.

Ryder recognized him as a warrior.

"You're the first person to come here. That can only mean that you have quite the potential. Why don't you use your potential for the best of the world and become a priest? You shall be granted the ability to heal people." Another person said.

He was wearing a white dress and looked like a gentleman. The man looked the same age as the warrior, but his body proportions were smaller.

"Hey boy, Don't listen to them. Select the hunter class. You can stealthily attack your opponents from a distance. Since you're the first person to come here, I can even give you this bow." 

Another man said. He was sitting at the table in the corner and had a bow on his table.

"If you want stealth, then what could be better than the thief class. You'll be granted so many amazing skills; you can be like an assassin. No one would dare to oppose you." The last person said with a smile.

It was a girl who looked like a 17-18-year-old. She was wearing quite exhibiting clothes.

It didn't take long for everyone to start arguing amongst themselves. They all called their class the best.

There were 5 classes for a person to choose from at the beginning.

These 5 classes were the Warrior, Magic practitioner, Thief, Priest, and Hunter.

The last time Ryder was here, he had chosen the Warrior class, but this time he had his thoughts set on Magic Practitioner. A 'Magic Practitioner' class could be upgraded to a 'Magic Warrior' in the future; that's what he set his hopes on.

Although the 'Warrior' class could also be upgraded to 'Magic Knight,' upgrading from 'Magic Practitioner' to a 'Magic Warrior' was easier than upgrading from Warrior to a Magic Knight.

"Sorry guys, but I have decided what I want to choose for the moment," Ryder said in an apologetic tone as he stepped towards the Mage.

"Hahaha! I knew it. It is clear from the moment I saw you that you aren't stupid. Come, boy! I'll make you a Magic Practitioner." The woman said with a smile.

She looked towards the others in a gloating manner.

Ryder stopped in front of her as he extended his hand without her asking. He knew the process, after all.

Although the woman was stunned as Ryder did what she wanted without her asking, she didn't think too much about it.

She extended her hand and held Ryder's hands.

[The Mage wants to give you a class. Will you accept?]

He heard the game's notification and saw a screen with yes or no icon. 

He tapped on Yes.

[Error! Since the Quest of Salem has been accepted, this class can't be selected.]
