"For a basic skill, it sure is costly and has a huge cooldown," Dave said.
"Indeed, however, that is because you are just starting, once you train this skill to perfection, you will be able to use it more often and will be able to reduce its cost. However, this is a skill with a low tier; even if you reach a grandmaster level with it, it will still deal low damage compared to mythical tiered skills."
"You can also get more powerful skills whenever you reach a certain level checkpoint, but the last skill you will gain is at level 100. But you can also obtain other skills if you find rare skill books."
Dave remembered that legacy owners had special skills, and every major class had an S class legacy of its own, already owned by the appropriate players.
Thieves/Assassins/Rogues are under the same category; they have the Shadow Dancer Legacy, which is obtained by some mysterious girl who seldom shows up in raids or fights. Someone was lucky enough to have caught a tape of her using her Legacy's skills and posted it online. She was a player from a shady guild called [It's Just Business]
The other one was the God of War Legacy, which falls under the warrior type class, which is composed of Bruisers/Berserks/Tanks. The leader of the Devastators guild obtained it; Warlord. He used it many times to clear impossible dungeons and to fight for supremacy.
Another Legacy was the Summoner class Legacy.
Summoner falls into the category of Summoners /Druids/Warlocks. However, Warlocks are a
type of wizards that summon demons to fight for them, so they are categorized as Summoners class with a high aptitude for destructive magic.
Their Legacy was the Tree of Life's light. A druid that is working under the Heaven's Dawn guild owned it.
The only guild to have two S class was the Heaven Dawn guild, and that was proof of their strength.
As for the Priest/Healers Legacy, it was owned by the White Ghost. Reported to be a mastermind in the game.
The Southern Kingdom's leader owned an S class legacy of the Tribal God, it was a brawler's legacy though it was similar to the God of War, it was just for fist fighters and dual axe wielders. A common major class in the game.
There are is two remaining S class Legaciesy that is owned by solo players.
The Hunter/Archer class, Divine Bow Legacy, is owned by a powerful hunter guy, he is the very personification of a wandering adventurer. The Hunter class is unlike the Archer class, while the Hunter class is weak in PVP combat compared to the Archer class, it can tame beasts to help if fight enemies.
The Divine Bow Legacy is unlike the others, it is an equipment, a golden bow that he obtained at the end of some dangerous quest and with its high damage output and unique skills he managed to outshine even the most powerful Archers.
The last Legacy is the World Bender's Legacy. It is a magic type Legacy that reduces mana costs, cooldowns and empowers all the class's skills by a huge amount. Not only that, it changes the graphics of normal skills and their power.
The owner was a girl who managed to obtain it via luck, and that was the only statement she had said not mentioning the way she obtained the Legacy.
Dave saw a video where she was displaying the power of the Legacy. A simple Fireball could be the size of a miniature sun! qQuite powerful and with devastating effects. Normally the players with Legacy should be powerful beings. Not only could they summon the avatar of their main Deity to help them fight, they can also gain impressive amounts of Defense, HP, Increased damage output and some even gain a massive size. Like the God of War Legacy owner, he can grow massively in size. Even a stomp of his feet can crush another person. Yet this Legacy would have been a game-breaker if not for their limit. The user can only stay in their "transformed" state for 2 hours after activating their Legacy, after that, the Legacy activation goes on a 72 hours cooldown (game time)
"Alright, you should start by practicing your skill." Said the instructor as he pointed at a dummy.
Once Dave reached a dummy that was in the middle of the courtyard, he started first with a basic attack.
{-315!}
"Oh, crap! That is a lot!" Dave said as he looked at his basic attack damage.
Looking at the log, he understood that the system took into account his already overpowered stats. The weapon deals damage based on Agility and Strength, if another player without his bonus stats were to hit this dummy, they would have dealt a measly amount of damage from 60 to 80 at max.
"That is impressive!" said the instructor, "You have some power in you. And that was not even a critical strike!"
"Indeed, I feel that this is overpowered…" Dave said.
"No, not really, that dummy has a 0 defense it is for practice purposes… here try attacking me!" said The instructor.
"Are you sure?" asked Dave.
"Yes, yes just give it a shot, don't hold back!" he said with a smirk.
The NPC's name was still green. Attacking NPC's would make them hostile in some cases, but the system gave the players a 3-strike limit towards attacking NPC. The NPC will ignore the first strike. The second will turn your relationship with the NPC from friendly to unfriendly. The third strike will make him hostile and he will attack you on sight. Dave fully understood this and didn't hesitate to attack the instructor.
The instructor didn't doge and received the attack head-on. {-0}
"What?" Dave said with Shock.
"Look at your battle log," said the instructor as he saw the battle log.
[Basic damage ( -320 physical damage) - 40% immunity =128 – 20 000 damage nullification =
-19872. Damage dealt 0.]
"Wow! You have that much damage nullification!"
"Indeed, but worry not, once you get some more powerful equipment, you will be able to deal damage. But be wary, I am not the strongest person in this world, you have a long way to go to reach the top!"
"Thank you for your guidance!" Dave said.
"Well, keep on practicing your skill." advised the instructor.
"Oh, by the way, where can I start the Paladin class quest?" asked Dave.
"Paladin? Oh, paladins are powerful. You can get the class quest by going to the Church nearby. I will give you a recommendation letter once you finish your training. I can see that you have a bright future ahead of you. Paladin serves the Kingdom against all vile and foul things. That is a noble cause!" said the instructor as he left the courtyard, leaving Dave to do his thing, which is to grind his skill!
And thus, Dave began his practice trying to level up his skill. Once his skill reaches level 2 beginner, he will be able to go to the Church to get his Paladin class. Now with a clear objective, Dave began hammering on the poor practice dummy
