Chereads / Reincarnation Of Third-rate Swordsman / Chapter 21 - Class Advancement

Chapter 21 - Class Advancement

After defeating the Shadow.

Kim Shin woke up by the series of system notification that made his cold heart, a bit warmer.

'I really miss this sound'

Kim Shin lovingly thought. As, he opened his eyes, Kim Shin found that he's backed again at the Wide Dome where he encountered the mysterious statue that turned to be the guardian of this tomb. But, what Kim Shin always thinking is, where is the tomb(?) He already explore the whole dungeon but he didn't found any graves of someone important in this dungeon.

'Where is Malkthanem?'

Kim Shin confusedly thought. Because, he tried to look for the mysterious old man. But, he can't see the enormous Mysterious Old Man that easy to notice, anywhere.

Hence, he decided to inspect the system notifications.

[Congratulations! You've successfully passed the Trial Inheritance]

[You've successfully claimed the Class 'Holy Priest']

[You've acquired a skill book 'Status Effect's Immunity']

[You've succesfully cleared the Tomb of the Death]

[You've received 1000 soul points for Clearing the Tomb of the Death]

[You received the title 'Dungeon Conqueror']

Utterly surprised by the continues System Notifications, Kim Shin excitedly scrutinize at the every detail of his rewards.

●Dungeon Conqueror●

Effect: Additional + 50% to all stats while inside a dungeon.

Additional +100% to Health and Magic Recovery Speed while inside a dungeon.

■ Given title to the first person to solo cleared an unexplored dungeon.

■ Can be equip as a primary title.

"W-what is this?"

Kim Shin mumbled to himself. As, he was dumbfounded at the additional effects of the Dungeon Conqueror.

The additional +50% to all stats when he's inside the dungeon is already incredible.

But, the added +100% of Health and Magic Recovery is undeniably unbelievable.

Imagine, If Kim Shin's stats reached like a superhuman, his recovery speed will also be a superhuman. So, if he equip the Dungeon Conqueror title and he come inside a dungeon. His superhuman recovery speed will doubled. Kim Shin most likely invicible in a dungeon when that time comes.

'Dungeon Conqueror?'

Kim Shin confusedly thought. Because, he can't remember anything or anyone with a title of a Dungeon Conqueror. But, he heard before a Dungeon Subjugator.

Since, it was one of the big incident that will happen in Yggdrasil.

They said that Dungeon Subjugator title is given to those person who had solo cleared a unexplore dungeon.

The same feat that Kim Shin had done. But, the difference is Kim Shin is the first human in this timeline to Solo Cleared an unexplored dungeon.

"Dungeon Subjugators.."

Kim Shin murmured. As, he remembered his bitter encountered with Dungeon Subjugators.

Shrugging off his mind from something didn't happen yet. Kim Shin continue to scroll down at his achievements.

[You've received 1000 soul points for Clearing the Tomb of the Death]

■Hidden achievement complete. Additional +500 soul points for clearing a dungeon.

"A total of 1500 soul points?!"

Kim Shin loudly exclaimed in ecstacy.

He didn't expect that he will receive a big reward for clearing a dungeon.

Considering their limit before, Kim Shin and his temporary team didn't try to go deeper in a dungeon.

"Now that I already have the required amount, I should quickly buy it before It gets too late.."

Kim Shin cheerfully murmured. As, he excitedly open the System's Shop.

Afterwards, Kim Shin scrutinizing scroll down and jovially clicked at the new skill book he surprisingly acquired.

A white light appeared at his right hand, leaving a small black book.

(Do you want to learn the 'Status Effect Immunity?' [Yes|No])

The system window appeared asking if he want to learn the skill book.

'Of course!'

Kim Shin thought. As, he excitedly clicked the [Yes] button.

[You've successfully learned 'Status Effect Immunity]

[Status Effects Immunity](Passive)

Grade: Special Skill

Effect:(●The user will be immune to all different types of status effects)

■Rewarded especially to the person who experience death multiple times.

"What? Special Skill?"

Kim Shin gaped in astonishment. In 8 years of his experience and knowledge in Yggdrasil, Kim Shin didn't encounter or heard about a Special Skill.

"Immune to crowd control!.."

Kim Shin grinned. As, he imagine the faces of his opponents if they come to know that his immune with negative effects.

"Right! I can explore now without so much difficulty the Poison Paradise Mountain. Now, that I'm also immune to poison. Hehe."

He was exhilarated to realize that this Special Skill is truly gift from Heaven.

Finally, after an eye-opener rewards. Kim Shin heavily look at his new acquired Class.

[ Would you like to accept the class 'Holy Priest?' ]

[ Yes | No ]

The system asked for his reply.

'Oh geez'

'Priest?'

Kim Shin was too bewildered to say anything. He never expected to be a support type class. Especially a Priest. He's no saint. So, he was doubtful to accept the class.

Thankfully, he have a choice. The fact that the class wasn't being forced on him meant that he had another choice. He doesn't need to hesitate.

'Why do it have to be a priest, I'm not used to stay at the rear. I always act and fight like a fighter.'

Kim Shin thought. As, he decides to refuse the offer.

"No."

Then, the system asked again.

[ The Holy Priest is a "Hidden Class". Would you still want to refuse? ]

It was basically the same question, but he could not readily replied after being asked twice. This time, he hesitated.

"Hidden..Class?"

It was certainly something that could be found in a game, but in reality, there were people with rare class. A user that can summon an Army of Beast.

Kim Shin also heard a rumor that there's a user that can transform into a magic beast without a help of bloodline.

And those user with rare class abilities worked for large families, clans, guilds, sect and other organizations that wielded an immense amount of influence and power.

'When it says, 'Hidden Class' is it talking about those with rare class abilites?'

If that was the case...

'This might be a very good chance.'

Kim Shin imagined the system talking to him.

"I'm offering you Holy Priest class because I know you want a great power."

In that sense, the Holy Priest was probably a powerful class.

In fact, he remembered that most of powerful figure in Yggdrasil fell under the Support-class. On the contrary, he would be a Support-class with special power under the experience of 8 years combat class. Little by little, his heart began to race.

'If I could only try out the Holy Priest-class. I wouldn't be hesitating this much.'

But it was a hopeless thought. Things wouldn't just go like that his way, and he never heard of anyone with such powers. In fact, he had never heard of priests who fought and heal in the fight. When he reached that line of thought,

'Wait, Didn't the Shadow I fought and Malkthanem seems like a priest.'

In a way, he never see the Shadow used it staff or healed himself. If the final test is a combat test, Kim Shin was surely gonna fail and would die inside that dimension.

Imagining that, If his opponent were a healer with unbelievable combat prowess. He can't help but to shivered.

A chill ran down his back.

Kim Shin looked up at the floating message. It quietly, waited for his reply.

[ The Holy Priest is a "Hidden Class". Would you still want to refuse? ]

Contrary to before, it did not press the question. Kim Shin asked within his thoughts,

'Is this what you wanted for me?'

Of course, the System did not reply.

After much thought, Kim Shin made a decision.

If it was giving him a strong power, He would accept.

He no longer hesitated.

[ Would you like to accept the class? ]

"Alright"

As if waiting, the System immediately sent the next message.

Ding~

[ You've accepted your class. Depending on the Test points earned, you may advance to the higher class.

The points will be calculating now.

Calculating ... ]

While the System calculated, Kim Shin decided to have a rest for a while.

His mentally fatigued. So, he decided to sat at the ground. And brought out a dried rations from his inventory.

It's been three days, since he come inside the dungeon.

While eating a dried food, Kim Shin can't help himself but to reminisce about the food that Sheena always made just for him.

He bitterly smiled at his imaginary little sister.

[ You've surpassed the expected time limit!

Extra points are awarded ]

'Not sure what the expected time limit, but I did last for quite a long time. Before, I realize who's my real enemy.'

Kim Shin chuckled in satisfaction, but then suddenly, another System message appeared before his eyes.

[ You've defeated the enemy in unprecedented way.

Extra points are awarded ]

[ The aggregate trial points have surpassed the required amount.

As, agreed a special reward will be provided ]

Kim Shin, heard the System message but he only affixed his gaze at the two specific words.

"Special Reward?"

Kim Shin's mouth that were munching the dried food froze, and his eyes stared at the message box. He could not look away. The message continued.

Ding~

[ You have advanced from Holy Priest to higher class Death Priest ]

[ You've learned class-specific skills ]

[ You've obtained 10 stats points ]

[ You've obtained the title 'One Who Triumphed Over Death' ]

'Death Priest?'

At unfamiliar name, he quickly opened his status screen.

[ Name: Kim Shin ]

[ Level: 13 ]

[ Job Class: Death Priest ]

His new class was placed at the appropriate spot.

'It's not Holy Priest?'

The System did tell him that depending at the trial points, it was possible to advance to a higher class. And just now, it told him that his trial points surpassed the required amount. And the resulting class was the 'Death Priest'.

Hence, he curiously opened his new Class-specific skills.

[ Death Priest ]

Grade: Unknown

●Soul Cleave Lv.1 - ( Death priests travel to the corpses of sentient beings, and absorbs a small portion of death essence left in the deceased body )

Effects: The deceased who had Soul Cleave by the Death Priest would lessen the grief and negative emotions that the family, friends and loved one's experiencing.

A part of the accumulated negative emotions will transfer to the Death Priest. In Contrary to that, there's a small chance to acquire the Skills and Knowledge of the deceased that had been Soul Cleaved.

( Cooldown: 15 minutes )

■ Soul Cleaved - 0/100

He didn't know what to say, did the System really want him to be a masochist(?)

Absorbing a bit of death essence left in the deceased body and received the negative emotions, Kim Shin wanted to cry so bad right now, knowing that he will experience all the feeling he experienced with Sheena.

But, despite of that. Kim Shin, hopefully imagine what type of skills he will get in the future, even if the chances are small.

Amidst of his imagination, there's a big question running in his mind right now.

Why is his class grade is unknown(?)

'It's already powerful, what other skill does it have?'

He didn't have anymore thought to find a strong skill after he saw the definition and effects of the Soul Cleave.

Next,

●Soul Heal Lv.1 (Active)

( Heal 25% of the target health instantly ) (Cooldown: 5 minutes)

"The trademark skill of a Priest-class, Healing skill, this is good. Although it's only 25% of HP, but instantly.."

Next, he clicked at the next skill information.

●Soul Control Lv.1 (Active)

( The user will release a black ball of light with a distance of 10-meter the target will be controlled for a duration of 8 seconds.

•If the target is low-level than the user 100% chance to control the target.

•If the target is same-level than the user 75% chance to control the target.

•If the target is high-level than the the user 45% chance to control the target. ) ( Cooldown: 10 minutes )

'A crowd control skill!'

Another crowd skill have joined, Kim Shin's skills list.

Not just a typical crowd control, but one of the rare control skill. Although it was only for a few second, it could be deadly if used at the perfect time.

Scrolling down,

●Face of Death Lv.1 (Active)

(• The user can change his/her face and aura into anyone that have been soul cleaved.

• The user will lost 1 MP per minute until the user deactivate the skill. ) ( Cooldown: 30 minutes )

"This is..."

He was speechless, this is the least thing he thought to be included at the Priest skill.

'Life saving..skill'

He could be almost anyone with this, he doesn't need to be afraid of anyone. As long as they didn't know his real face.

And at the end skill,

●Death's Blessing Lv.1 (Passive)

( Increase all the base stats by 0.1 at every Soul Cleave )

Kim Shin eye's twinkle like a star. As, he saw the passive skill of Death Priest.

Even though it was only 0.1 per Soul Cleave, he probably Soul Cleaved a lot before he hit the limit.

'Fortunately, the System asked me twice or else, I might really abandon this powerful class.'

After he got to checked everything and he already have enough rest to continue.

Kim Shin, could not wait anymore to see the outside again. So, he excitedly rush out from this dungeon.

'WHOOSH'
