Alternate World: I Started With Two SSS Templates

A light screen enveloped the entire classroom. Bits of starlight fell down and fused into the sleeping students' bodies.

Today was the first day of high school for the first years. It was also the day that everyone dreamed of — the Day of Awakening.

After experiencing the Day of Awakening, everyone would be able to activate their own talent and create their own Template Card, which was also known as the Talent Template.

Only when the Template Card gets formed could one cultivate it according to their own set of skills given.

One can only cultivate their skill according to the direction of their talent, which was a blessing or a curse. Compared to before the process, after awakening one's talent, the speed of cultivating according to the direction of their talent will be several times quicker!

In just ten minutes, the Awakening Day ended. The light screen disappeared without anyone noticing. The form teacher of grade One Class Five stood silently on the podium, waiting for the students in the class to wake up.

"That was so comfortable!"

"I fell asleep?"

"I've awakened. I'm a B grade Swordsman, it's an offensive talent!"

"What are you going on about, isn't that trash? I'm an A grade Gun Fighter, a B grade talent means nothing!"

"Li Zifei, what talent have you awakened, an S grade Sun Archer? Really? Is it really an S grade?"

"What?! The school belle awakened an S grade offensive talent? I want to awaken an A grade talent so I can get her attention!"

"Lame, I have an A+ grade Healing Totem, so get in line!"

"Everyone, over here! Someone awakened a defensive talent, come and take a look!"

Lin Xuan looked at his best friend, Lin Xiaoran, who was shouting at the side and gloating. He wanted to tell his friend about his defensive talent, but it was too late!

Those who awakened a defensive talent hid away in the shadows. As long as they hid their Template Cards, no one else would know about it. Lin Xuan could not resist his best friend's pestering, once his heart softened, he told him about his talent.

In the end, everything backfired

He really wanted to kill himself right after his friend shouted it out loud to everyone else!

'As expected, I should not have believed a single thing he said. He even said that he would keep it a secret for me. F*ck, he even told everyone immediately right after!'

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth. He grounded his teeth and his smile turned sinister. "Come, sit down. Let me give you a massage. I guarantee you that it'll be comfortable."

"No, no. According to our relationship, we're brothers. I should honor you instead! Come here, let me do it for you!"

Lin Xuan could not stand for such an attitude. He was bigger and stronger after all. With a strong grip, he grabbed Lin Xiaoran and held him firmly. With just a little force, Lin Xiaoran's thin figure could not stand the pain and he cried out in pain.

"What about you? What's your talent?"

"Oh, I have an A grade Star Healing. How about it? Are we still brothers?"

An S grade healing talent was an admirable talent. Whether it was in a three-man team or in a large-scale war, high-level healing talents were treated as treasures by the team. One reason was that there were only a few such talents. Secondly, their existence could minimize casualties to the greatest extent.

The Day of Awakening was mostly divided into three types of talents — guardians that have a defense type talent, combat styles that have an offensive type talent, and support styles that have a healing-type talent.

Among them, support styles were rare, and the ratio of guardians to combat styles was about the same. In the current mainstream of society, people were more willing to have a combat style. Once one gets a defence type talent, they would subconsciously hide it, forever in denial. This all originated from a single sentence, even assistants had the heart to deal damage!

Guardians have the highest death rate among the three talent types. Whether it was a three-man team or a large-scale battle, guardians would be stuck in the front, creating space for the combat styles behind to deal damage.

Other than that, the arena competition was basically a stage for the combat style people to perform. People rather watch others fight till their death instead of wrestling with their shields on stage.

In short, guardians with a defense type talent have a very miserable life!

Lin Xuan sighed and let go of his best friend, letting him scram to the side and fend for himself.

He opened the Template Card that he received and looked at it carefully. Time would pass, and life would go on either way.

"What..."

Even if guardians were looked down on, these skills are legendary! After all, his level of energy was his shield. There was no way that he would be looked down on now.

However, this did not include the gifted guardians. No matter which profession they were in, they were the cream of the crop, they were the big shots that everyone looked up to. As for the most powerful guardians, they had a nickname, they were called The Undead.

Regardless of whether it was the Small World where the undead calamity descended or the Small World where the demon soldiers wreaked havoc, they would all be able to crawl to and fro from Hell!

No matter how desperate they were, no matter how helpless they were, their powerful bodies and their terrifying skills would bring them back time and time again.

Did that mean that Lin Xuan was part of that group now?

Lin Xuan tilted his head and revealed an incredulous expression.

After he came to this world 16 years ago and learned about the existence of transcendents in this world, he had also fantasized about his own Talent Template.

He pictured himself clad in armor, next to him would be his trusty sword, and he would be undefeatable!

However, with his SSS grade defensive talent, he might still be seen as a barely passable person. Since he could not get what he wanted, he would have to do anything to survive!

The more Lin Xuan stared at his Talent Card, he suddenly realized that there was something behind his card.

Oddly enough, in the next second, another Template Card appeared in front of Lin Xuan.
