Arcanist

At the beginning of the fourth era, portals emerged from another world. They were later on called dungeons. They were linked to the home of Demons called Hells. And Hells were the place of Demon gods called Prime evils.

From that on, appeared Godly entities that gave humanity powers called Job class. Giving a chance for humanity to fight back from the said predicament. As they were forbidden to intervene directly. Humans soon attacked the dungeons and one by one closed them by killing the dungeon bosses.

They soon made the Hunters Guild which manages the hunters to assault and eradicate the dungeons and their creators the demons.

The fight was brutal and many died along the passage of time. Many years passed and younger generations followed the steps of the past generations. They managed to be on par with the past heroes of humanity.

Soon, they built a system called the ranking system. Ranked from the highest called S class, A class, B class, and last, C class.

After one hundred years, the battle still has to come close.

It was a bright morning and Lumiel woke up from his stupor. Facing the veranda while on his hand, was a steaming coffee that he still has to sip.

With several seconds that had passed, he sipped it and breathed out hot air. Come to think of it, he remembered his past life when he was still the Arcane Emperor. All those powers were used for humanity but he died a gruesome death to the Evil Gods of Hells in which he felt not compensated.

He was that powerful, to battle them all singlehandedly but right now, he was an unawakened hunter. Making him bitter deep inside.

While in school, he was being bullied by his classmates as he was a weak kid with no class, but his friend Aizen defended him. He was a Paladin that awakened recently. For Lumiel, it will be a very rewarding experience if he would at least have a class.

His pride of his power in the past was only a husk of its past splendor. He became timid due to not being able to fight back at all. But hidden deep within himself, his anti hero character was suppressed.

It was still summer and school still has to begin. But he was excited for today, as today was the day his awakening would be assessed.

He immediately finished his coffee and then took a bath. His mother Isabella was cooking a vegetable salad and she was awakened herself. She was a Healer and his older siblings were all prodigies. Kniel, was a Lycan, Kate was a Berserker, and Kane was a Lifestealer. They all awakened a pretty decent class.

As for Lumiel, he was the youngest and still has to awaken. And they will all go to the awakening halls later and that was why Lumiel was excited. As for his Father Leinel, he was a Druid. They ate and prepared for the awakening of their youngest brother.

"Hey, what would be Lumiel's class? I am excited to know it," Kniel was munching on his food.

"Well, a Paladin is good, or a Telekinetic mage! But they are rare ones." Kate smiled and patted Lumiel on his head.

"We'll see it later. I am excited too!" Kane was very happy and was looking forward to it.

Their father was contemplating and was imagining what would be his son's class. They were all looking forward to it. Knowing that their Lumiel has suffered that much already as he has no class yet as of now.

They went to the Awakening Halls which were just near their home. The Halls boasted of a castle-like design and interior.

Kids were also present at the moment and they were assessed one by one.

On the platform, was a robed man with an eyeglass. Has an age of between fifty to sixty and a white long hair. The kids were all lining up and Lumiel was also lined up. Ready and excited.

His family was looking from afar and they let Lumiel to stand for himself. Now, the awakening ceremony has started.

"Are you excited, everyone? Hahaha, you will all have your turn. Put your hands on the crystal ball and we will see your class!" the old man announced.

They were one by one tested and classes were announced.

"Paladin!"

"Healer!"

"Berserker!"

"Chaos Knight!"

One by one was heard and it was Lumiel's turn. He watched the old man with teary eyes. Glittering like a night sky and depths of the sea. The hands were slowly lifted and gripped from excitedment.

"Hmmm, put your hands on the crystal ball and we will see the results." he said in a domineering voice, clutching his glasses on his eyes.

Lumiel immediately put his hands on it and it glowed.

"Unique Class! The weakest class! Arcanist!" he shouted.

Everyone thought that he would make skills to the heroes and be their support. Though their roles were unmatched in their supportive capabilities. Making skills would be a fun thing to say but it was harder than they all thought. First, he needed to level up and kill monsters to improve. That means he should battle enemies in the front lines without strong skills to boot.

His mother then wept right on the spot. She could not imagine the burden of his son from now on. With the weakest class, he will be on the path of being looked down on as a hunter.

"Son, don't worry. We will protect you and will not let anything happen to you." his mother caressed his hair.

His family was supportive and his path of being a side character begins. This time around, he will play the role of being weak and will not show off his cards.

His sister looked at him with pity and his father too. Though he liked to be underestimated. As for his case, he was a special one. He has better foundations than a normal skill maker and he was the first one in history!

They went home and they bought ice cream for him to vent his disappointment.

Upon arriving home, he immediately ran to his room. He sat on the bed and turned on the air conditioner.

"Muahahahah! At last I finally have my class in the past! I better test it now,"

"System boot!"

Immediately, a floating hologram appeared.

[Name: Lumiel Cryhearth]

[Level: 1]

[Growth: +1 Strength + 1 Dexterity + 2 Endurance +2 Focus per level up]

[Class: Arcanist]

[Stats: 10 Strength, 10 Dexterity, 15 Endurance, 15 Focus]

[Innate skills: Skill Creator, Skill Bestowal, Skill Developer, Support]

[Exclusive skill: Wisdom King Solomon, Class Mimicry]

"Wisdom King Solomon, explain the skills!"

[Affirmative]

[Skill Maker: You can make skills that you liked. Establishing its foundations and its rules to follow. The effects and its effectiveness. Has 3 days to cooldown before you can make skills once again. Needs soul essence to evolve]

[Class Mimicry: You can mimic a class that you copy but it was 40% weaker than the original and lasts only for 5 minutes. Has 50% chance to retain the class you copied after 5 minutes. Has a cooldown of 1 day. Needs soul essence to evolve]

[Skill Bestowal: You can give skills to your allies that you made from Skill Maker. Limited to 1 skill per person. Needs soul essence to evolve]

[Skill developer: Can tweak the skills that you created. Adjusting its potency and its effects. This method would only be optional if the user Arcane Emperor needs it.]

[Support: Buffs teammates with skills and can also debuffs enemies. Limited to 1 buff or debuff per teammate or enemy. Needs soul essence to evolve]

From Lumiel's thoughts, he needed soul essences to evolve the skill. And that was to harvest from monsters in the dungeons.

When he knew that his Class was Arcanist, his heart was overjoyed by remembering all his skills. One was that skill that makes skills, his none other than "Skill Maker". His "Support" skills and another one was his skill, "Class Mimicry". These two made him cut above the rest as it was only exclusive to him.
