For the following few weeks, Yuki continued to acquire virtue stamps for the other four virtues. To do this, he had to find NPCs seeking help related to specific virtues.
For example, to complete kindness quests and achieve 500 virtue stamps for Kindness, he helped multiple NPCs by going on quests to find medicines for them and performing other kind deeds. Similarly, for Patience, he engaged in tasks like watching over a child for an hour to accumulate virtue stamps. It was indeed tedious, but Yuki enjoyed it. Every aspect of the game was so immersive that it never got boring.
However, he didn't neglect Touch Me. He played with him from time to time, although not excessively, as he needed to focus on his virtue stamp quests.
Today, after four weeks of consistent playing, Yuki finally acquired all the virtue stamps, granting him access to his last racial class.
He now found himself in the heart of Helheim, specifically in the bustling [Grand Hella City], one of the major cities in Helheim. This city was exclusively populated by heteromorphic players. Due to the discrimination against heteromorphic players in other worlds, they sought refuge in worlds like Helheim, Muspellsheim, and Niflheim, where they could escape harassment from humanoid players. These three worlds were the only ones that allowed heteromorphs in their cities.
Yuki stood in an alleyway within this medieval, demonic-looking city, surrounded by towering magical buildings. Players and NPCs bustled about, going about their business.
"Finally! Damn! It took me 4 fucking weeks to accumulate all these Virtue stamps! Finally!" Yuki shouted in happiness, flailing his hands around, which made other players look at him as if he were a creep.
Noticing the stares, Yuki glanced at them. If he switched to his original avatar, they would be scared shitless. After all, he was hiding his avatar, and his original demonic avatar was a well-known ranker, holding the top position since Yggdrasil began.
"Just wait until I make even this avatar of mine a renowned ranker," Yuki declared. Although it couldn't be as overpowered as his previous one, this avatar still had tremendous potential if he acquired everything he wanted.
Yuki immediately used a gate scroll, and a purple, distorted space appeared behind him. He walked through it, arriving in a muddy, swampy area with a cave.
This cave served as his temporary base. He entered it and passed through a veil of space.
This base might have appeared as an ordinary cave from the outside, but within its confines, it resembled a luxurious temple. Yuki, even as a solo player, had rented this base, as it was possible to do so as long as you paid a monthly fee, which he did without hesitation. Money was something Yuki certainly didn't lack, whether in Yggdrasil gold coins or real-world currency. His parents continually increased his allowance every month, and his female cousins showered him with expensive gifts and were willing to fulfill any of his requests. It was a highly convenient situation.
As Yuki settled into his abode, he took a seat on a luxurious chair and began to contemplate the racial classes that were now available to him.
[New racial classes available]
- Virtue of Kindness
- Virtue of Charity
- Virtue of Diligence
- Virtue of Humility
- Heirarch
- Arch Angel
- Cherub
- Serenith
- Seraphial
- Divinatus
There were a few more racial classes available to him, but they didn't pique Yuki's interest as they were very specific. He had been hoping for the Seraphim racial class, which was considered the best overall, but it required completing a quest that mandated reaching level 95. That's why he had patiently waited.
Without hesitation, Yuki added the four new virtues to his racial classes and allocated 6 levels to each of them. He had already accumulated a considerable amount of experience points, and with an additional 50 levels to invest, he was in a strong position.
Upon completing the addition of the final level to the [Virtue of Humility], a new notification appeared before Yuki.
[Congratulations! You have Unlocked a Hidden Unique Racial Class]
[You have unlocked the Racial class «Radiant Hope»]
Yuki's avatar, though devoid of visible emotions, was actually brimming with satisfaction as he promptly equipped the [Radiant Hope] racial class. This race possessed the remarkable ability to provide significant buffs and debuffs, contingent on whether the target was an ally or enemy. What made it even more potent was its capacity to buff the user, making it an OP class.
With the [Radiant Hope] race now at his disposal, Yuki started on the task of customizing his build by allocating stat points and skill points. He recognized the importance of precision in this work and used the assistance of the system to optimize his build. While Yuki had a sharp mind, he understood the value of utilizing the system to prevent any potential miscalculations. However, he remained diligent and continued to engage his intellect when necessary to avoid complacency.
After finally completing the task, Yuki turned his attention to the Job class. He needed to acquire new job classes in order to reach level 95 and undertake the quest to fully obtain the Seraphim racial class.
Through the system, he had learned about some rather potent job classes that he hadn't paid attention to previously. This was because he had been preoccupied with his racial class and maximizing his build. Now, however, he decided to explore the job class options.
[Dawn Initiate]
As Yuki read through the provided description, he was taken aback. This class was a remarkable blend of support and attack abilities, offering a minor boost in magical power and MP. What intrigued him even more was the hidden job class that could be unlocked upon leveling up, provided he met the requirement of having the [Hope] racial class. However, to level up this class, he would need to defeat Dusk Monsters.
"System, could you identify the best location in Helheim for hunting Dusk Monsters? Please find the most efficient place for leveling up as quickly as possible," Yuki requested as he scrutinized the class requirements.
Yuki, still focused on the requirements to level up the class, nodded as he received the system's recommendation.
{The best place would be [Twilight Shadowed Cavern], located at the northernmost edge of Helheim. The monsters there are all of the dusk type, with levels ranging from 50 to 60, even though it's at the edge of Helheim. However, at the center, there's a Twilight Overlord of level 95, which is quite powerful.}
"Good, time to go there," Yuki affirmed. He opened his console and cast the gate spell, which he had chosen to include in his build for its usefulness to any magic user.
A shimmering gate appeared, and Yuki walked through it, emerging near a yellow swamp that oozed with a foul substance.
"Ugh... These look disgusting," Yuki muttered as he ventured towards the destination indicated on his map. After 20 minutes of travel, he found himself standing before a massive cavern that resembled the gaping maw of the earth, adorned with sharp stones at its entrance.
"Let's just dive in," Yuki said as he entered the dark cave. The darkness was impenetrable, leaving him blind. Unfortunately, he didn't had a Night Vision like the elves. However, Yuki knew that his new job class, [Dawn Initiate], granted the ability to see in the dark once he leveled it up.
"[Nocturnal Sight]," Yuki cast a tier 2 spell that enhanced his vision and granted him night vision. The cave stretched endlessly before him, and he continued his journey.
Suddenly, something attacked him from the darkness, hidden from view. Yuki swiftly reacted, breaking a sealing crystal that illuminated the area.
"It's a Gloom Stalker," Yuki noted, observing the humanoid silhouette of the monster, composed of shadow and mud with glowing red eyes. It wasn't alone; more Gloom Stalkers and Dusk Fangs, shadowy wolves, surrounded him. These Dusk Monsters ranged from level 50 to 60.
Yuki didn't hesitate. He unleashed the power of sealing crystals, casting a powerful explosion spell that engulfed the monsters in red flames, swiftly dispatching them.
[You have gained a level]
[You have gained a level]
Yuki had leveled up but not enough. His goal was to defeat the Twilight Overlord and reach level 95. He continued onward, battling the monsters that attacked him. Some fell to his Light spells, as they were weak against his radiant magic.
Soon, Yuki found himself in a round expanse within the cavern, with magical green torches illuminating the entire room. At the center stood an overlord, adorned in heavy armor and wearing a crown upon its skull. The skeleton had green orbs in its eye sockets, and its ribcage emitted a green glow.
As soon as Yuki stepped onto the floor of the expanse, the boss monster's eyes ignited with flames as it fixed its gaze on Yuki, and a monologue began. However, Yuki didn't wait for it to finish. He swiftly summoned a Super Tier Sealing Crystal and shattered it.
"[Heavenly Nova]!" Yuki invoked the spell. The Twilight Overlord was about to attack, but before it could do so, the golden crystal broke, and a radiant burst of pure crystalline light descended upon the Undead Overlord. It cascaded downward like a shimmering waterfall of heavenly blessing.
The Twilight Overlord didn't even have time to launch an attack before it vanished. The pillar of light slowly dissipated, and the overlord began to disintegrate, succumbing to the animation of its defeat and ultimately vanishing.
[You have defeated the «Twilight Overlord»]
[You have Received 120,000 Experience]
[You have gained a level]
[You have gained a level]
[You have gained a level]
[You have gained a level]
Yuki looked at the constant stream of level-up notifications; he had gained a lot of levels now. Finally, it was time to allocate these levels to his [Dawn Initiate] job class.
Immediately, Yuki opened his Job Class Menu and added 10 levels to [Dawn Initiate], bringing it to its maximum level, Level 10.
[Dawn Initiate: Lvl - 10]
As a result of reaching this milestone, a new notification appeared.
[You have unlocked a Hidden job class]
[You have unlocked the Job class «Emissary of Dawn»]
Yuki smiled as he immediately added the new job class to his list and allocated 5 more levels to it, bringing it to its maximum level.
He then examined all the abilities and skills that he had received from this class, and he was really enjoying it.
One particularly exciting ability was [Dawn Codex], which increased the quantity of Divine spells one could have, allowing him to possess 600 divine spells. For reference, Yuki still didn't have 200 divine spells in his build because the class was not max level and couldn't have more divine spells. Now, Yuki could expand his collection of divine spells and increase his magical attack stats.
"This is the best!" Yuki shouted in excitement. He couldn't wait to see how this class would evolve in the new world, as every lore had a chance to become reality.
Yuki then examined his stats, realizing that his character was not yet complete as he still needed the Seraphim class to reach his full potential.

While his physical stats may have been low, he compensated with his magical abilities. Although his magical attack and defense were not on par with level 100 characters, they still surpassed many other support builds that players might create or have already created.
"Now that I'm level 95, I need to meet with the Oracle of Light to unlock the Seraphim racial class," Yuki muttered to himself as he emerged from the purple distorted space created by the gate he had cast. He immediately appeared near one of the cities of Asgard. All he needed to do now was visit the Temple of Seraphs.
Yuki continued his journey towards the opposite side of the city of [Serenity]. After a while, he arrived near what appeared to be a temple. The temple's entrance featured a massive golden staircase leading to two grand gates, each guarded by two angels on either side.
Yuki climbed the stairs and stood at the entrance of the gate. Upon his touch, the two angels guarding it moved, and the gate slowly swung open. They resumed their positions as Yuki proceeded inside.
He entered a vast hall adorned with statues of various angels, ranging from biblically accurate depictions to more beautiful and ethereal forms. At the center of the hall, there stood a statue of a woman in a prayer position, her face veiled.
Approaching the statue, Yuki opened his console and tapped on the Resonance option that had appeared.
As soon as Yuki tapped on the Resonance option, a golden glow descended from the ceiling, enveloping him in its radiant light.
"[In the heart of every dawn, lies the potential for a sacred sun. Seraphim is the pure light that illuminates the endless darkness.]" spoke the Oracle, who had descended from the sky. She appeared as a beautiful woman veiled in mystery, her face concealed beneath the delicate fabric.
Yuki tapped the option to continue, and the Oracle's words flowed forth.
"[Greetings, brave angel, seeker of light. I see the potential within you to become a Seraphim and dispel the eternal darkness. However, you must first seek the Halo. The Halo of a Seraphim is the symbol of pure light and holds the mighty power of true illumination. Yet, this emblem of power has shattered into seven radiant pieces.]"
The Oracle then clasped her hands together in prayer, as if pleading.
"[Oh angel, oh virtue, first, you must gather the 7 shards; only then will you acquire the right to hold the Light that blesses all.]" The Oracle's words faded as she transformed into radiant motes of light. However, before she dissipated completely, another message appeared, providing a hint or guidance:
"[Where hearts grow cold, the first shard lies.]"
Followed by another message:
"[Egos dwell, the second shard you must prize.]"
And then more riddles came forth:
"[Lies find their way where the third shard denies.]"
"[In despair's domain, the fourth shard implies.]"
"[Amidst endless night, the fifth shard complies.]"
"[Logic strains where the sixth shard defies.]"
"[In obscurity's cloak, the final shard complies.]"
Yuki recognized these riddles as clues leading to the seven shards of the Seraphim's Halo. He knew that he would need to decipher these hints and locate the seven shards to unlock the Seraphim class. Fortunately, with his system at disposal, he wouldn't have to spend days searching blindly like others might.
"System, find me the locations of all 7 shards."
{Right away, master.}
{Here are the locations of the 7 shards:
First shard - Chasm of Apathy
Second shard - Chasm of Narcissism
Third shard - Chasm of Deceit
Fourth shard - Chasm of Lost
Fifth shard - Chasm of Anxiety
Sixth shard - Chasm of Absurdness
Seventh shard - Chasm of Evade}
Yuki quickly reviewed the details before using his gate ability to leave the temple, appearing near a forest.
"Let's find these seven pieces," Yuki said, as he raised his hand, mimicking a pirate on a voyage to find the One Piece... or in this case, the seven shards.
After six days spent clearing the Chasms of Psyche, each holding a boss monster at the end that represented aspects of the human mind, Yuki had obtained shards of Seraphim's Halo from them. All of these boss monsters were level 95 demons.
Today marked the 7th day, and Yuki had finally defeated the last boss in the Chasm of Evade. He stood before the lifeless vanishing body of a goat-like demon in a vast cave. Floating before him was the shard of a golden halo.
Yuki reached out and took hold of the halo, bringing it close to the other seven halos he had collected. As he did so, the seven halos began to shine and merge into one.
Suddenly, a golden pillar of light descended from above, even though there was no sky, only the cave's ceiling.
"[The potential I saw in you, brave virtue, has not gone unnoticed. You have undertaken this journey as a favor to the heavens, and in doing so, you have proven yourself worthy to evolve into Seraphim and become my lord.]" spoke the same oracle who had given Yuki the quest. She floated before him, holding a golden halo in her hand. The halo seemed to be gathering light, forming a perfect golden circle with multiple shining lights that appeared alive and in motion.
The Oracle approached Yuki and gently placed the halo above his head. He was enveloped in a radiant golden light, and a notification appeared before another transformation took place.
[You have unlocked a hidden racial class]
[You have unlocked the racial class «Seraphim»]
Yuki's avatar underwent further changes. His body became more golden and seemed to emit a radiant shine. Golden veins pulsed with light throughout his avatar, creating a stunning and very cool appearance.
"[You are now the Seraphim reborn, the embodiment of light. Go forth, my lord, and let your light shine upon the world, vanishing darkness wherever it may linger.]" The Oracle suddenly knelt before Yuki as her body transformed into motes of light, getting absorbed into the halo behind him.
[You have acquired a new hidden skill due to achieving the task of unlocking the Seraphim class in 7 days]
[You have acquired the Skill «Oracle of Eternal Light»]
Yuki was both surprised and thrilled by this new skill. He immediately opened his console to examine it.
The skill was essentially a summoning ability that called forth the Oracle. It was a permanent summon skill, but it could only be used once every 100 hours when Yggdrasil servers were active.
With a sense of accomplishment, Yuki began allocating levels, adding skill points, and refining his character's stats. After 20 minutes of careful adjustments, his stats appeared as follows.

Yuki's stats were looking impressive, and he felt satisfied with his build, which focused on buffs, debuffs, and angelic summons.
"Now, I need an avatar for the World Tournament. I'll have to create a build that's more physically based," Yuki muttered to himself.
A new expansion pack was on the horizon, coinciding with Yggdrasil's 2nd anniversary. The expansion pack trailers were already generating excitement, especially for the World Tournament and the coveted World Champion class. Naturally, Yuki aimed to create a powerful World Champion class build.
"System, what race do you think is the best choice to start with for this new build?" Yuki inquired of the system.
"{The best race would be...}" the system began to respond.
