Chereads / Level-Up Hitman / Chapter 4 - Class

Chapter 4 - Class

Clearing his throat with a "AHEM" Sid began to lecture Salvatore using an informative tone as though he was a college professor giving lessons to a kindergartner.

"Now then, to begin with, we will start with learning how power is obtained in my beloved Starverse."

"In my universe ones entire existence is quantified into several groups of different numerical values. The most important of these is called ones "level", here, it's easier to understand by seeing."

"SNAP"

With a snap of his fingers Sid caused a golden glowing holographic screen to suddenly appear in the air before Salvatore's face.

"Interesting, I actually have stats, it's exactly like being an RPG character, which would indicate that the laws of this universe are much more precise. and it seems that I have become an actual game like entity, a veritable level up Hitman. HA HA HA, excellent, this is even more interesting than I imagined it would be."

"I'm glad you approve, my boy, here just like in a game from your world in order to grow stronger you have to earn experience which in turn can be used in order to level-up. Just like in a typical RPG game this can be accomplished through a variety of ways, such as completing quests, killing monsters, and through the usage of certain unique items."

"Now while your level is of great importance your status points or "stats" have a equal if not more so valuable significance to you for they affect how strong you are, how fast you are, how handsome you are, basically every aspect of your existence is connected to them, which means it is absolutely crucial that you make every effort to increase them."

"All stats gained from leveling up are auto-allocated based upon your Class. A person's Class is greatly decided by their bloodline so it plays a large part in their future achievements. Furthermore for those who have yet to awaken their Class there is a level cap of level 10 as well as a limit of only 3 stat points per level, instead of the normal minimum of 10 per level for those with an awakened Class, which are auto-allocated to the Strength, Endurance, and Constitution stats."

"This means that in order for you to increase all of your stats beyond a certain point, you will definitely need to awaken your Class, without doing so although you will still be able accumulate experience and level-up, your growth would be limited, and you will only be able to learn a few, weak, Classless Skills."

"While there exist countless types of Classes, each are specialized in certain type of skills, however because of this specialization, based on your Class there is a limit to the types of skills you are able to learn, for example, mages can learn only magic type skills, while warriors on the other hand can learn only weapon type skills."

"There does however exist Classes that are an exception to this inequality, such as the Spellsword Class which is capable of learning both magic and weapon type skills, however there are still some restrictions on the extent of skills they are able to learn."

"So awakening ones Class is vital to grow stronger, so how do I awaken mine?"

"Normally at the age of 10 parents who can afford it will bring their children to one of my star temples and pay a small, reasonably priced fee, for the ceremony and its required materials, then one of my star priests will ask them to complete a small, reasonably priced, handcrafted, multiple-choice questionnaire composed of a mere 1,000 questions as well as an intricate, handcrafted, reasonably priced blood seal, all handwritten by are most skilled scribes, on sheets of the temples highest quality Verita paper, using only the finest 100yr old rainbow stardust ink and a rare grade quill made from th...."

"Verita paper, what is Verita paper?"

"Verita paper is a special type of parchment exclusively manufactured and marketed by my star temple's. It is a unique material that is specially made to only allow truth to be written on it and to reject all falsities. Although it is an extremely expensive item, all kingdoms deem it a vital item and since its unique characteristic is perfect for the creation of important documents, such as treaties, army commands and especially royal conferment's of land and title."

"Anymore questions.....no, good!"

"Now then, where was I... ah yes, then burning the completed questionnaire and blood seal on the star alter as a offering they would pray for my divine guidance, would plead on behalf of the young dormant supplicants, asking that I unleash my divine might to awaken the power that lies dormant within the humble ones who kneel before me, exalting the virtues of the ones who asked for my heavenly counsel, etc, etc..."

"In truth although the priests tell everyone that I examine the ethereal vapor from the reasonably priced, burning questionnaire's and the burning, handcrafted, reasonably priced blood seals, including that I go so far as to peer into the fathomless depths of the supplicants soul and that only after they have spent many long hours of profound meditation will I finally be able to harmonize with the supplicants heart allowing me to fill the supplicants with a drop of my divine power, causing the hidden power that lies dormant within the supplicants to awaken and manifest into a Class, all I really do is read the questionnaire, examine how the burnt blood seals vapor reacts to the stars before using the starlight of potential contained within my hat."

"Altogether it's a rather tiresome and expensive procedure that usually takes 2 weeks to complete, but fortunately for you since I the one and only star god Sid am here we can cut out the middle-man, as well as all of the needless ritualistic theatrics and get right to it, now don't you feel lucky?"

"I suppose, so does that mean you can awaken my Class right now?"

"Of course I can, but first I must set the proper stage."
