"Dude is it my eyes or is that red bitch glowing?" Says NoobianK¥NG
"Where? What benit?" The Malayan is speaking Carthol the universal language of the game. NoobianK¥NG careful to not draw any eyes he points in the general direction.
"Look she is definitely glowing, must be a special class already, I wonder how she did it?" Says NoobianK¥NG, the man bites the bait caught up in the hype of the situation. He shouts pointing at TyphoidTerri. The whole hall is drawn to the chaos, the man even doing NoobianK¥NG a favour and forces his way to her. He exposes her glow to the shock of those present they all start to hound her asking questions about how they can also get a special class.
NoobianK¥NG moves to the front of the line since everyone is preoccupied with a sea of questions they want to be answered. Cardinal missions all have set specific parameters for their activation including key phrases.
"Your Eminence, living symbol of The Almighty in all his grace, I humble myself at her bosom beseeching his heart. I the lowest of the low ask to be guided to the path of power." NoobianK¥NG Says his voice soft and he is bowing with arms crossed as they often do when praying.
The Cardinal rubs NoobianK¥NG's head plucking one of his silver hairs. Pocketing it and placing his right hand NoobianK¥NG. With his left, he raises his divine symbol an orb dripping Osan or lifeblood as the players will come to know it. Some players notice what is happening but most think it's part of the intro sequence.
"You are indeed blessed by the gods, my son. Partake of the divine and be lead into the fire." Says the Cardinal NoobianK¥NG then thanks to the man as the display for the Cardinal mission starts. It is decorated by angels and framed with Divinium pulsing a strange aura of danger. He is the only one who can see it. He moves back to his place reading the display.
It details that he has unlocked a Cardinal Rank mission. Cardinal ranks are unique and difficult and complex, a single failure will result in a complete character reset. The first thing the system changes his setting. Since all Cardinal classes dynamic classes. Dynamic classes allow players to build the class how they like which has lead many to disaster and a few to the pinnacle. In his previous life, he had found the Cardinal classes lore for human Druid combined with his understanding of how dynamics work he will craft a true Cardinal class. A class is so strong that even the gods of Cardinal will be shaken.
Accepting the change he now has to secure his core, and every class has a core that can be anything, even a rock. The core determines the essence of the class what it is meant to do. The hall has settled down and the Cardinal starts handing out beginner mission.
"Guys you should log out!" Shouts a lady who is messaged by a friend, NoobianK¥NG knows exactly what it is. His post which he linked to Delphine has probably been found in it, he had given everyone a chance at a decent class. In the beginner kit is an item called the Excelior. This character bound item can improve the rarity of one item. What most people did in his previous life was to use it to upgrade a skill. It was only months later when a frustrated player used it on a class scroll and it improved the class by one rarity. Giving her access to a kingdom level class comes with benefits like training and extra skills alongside the improved stat development.
Only a few people do as another person shouts, "Just use your hud to access the forum no need to leave." A few people chuckle at the hasty woman.
NoobianK¥NG Plans to do something similar but for his core by using an exploit player Dovian discovered. Every continent has a unique boss tied to the average player level. Unique bosses outside of story missions amount to only seven one for each Cardinal class. The particular boss he is looking for should stay at level one for about an hour. The greedy powers are already moving to secure what they feel is their's NoobianK¥NG is going to use the chaos they create to go untraced.
He also removes the deed he got for the mission, most missions have scrolls attached to them that must be handed to Npc's for rewards, they also serve as badges giving access to areas players would otherwise have to have a reputation to enter.
The Cathedral they are in as at the Centre of the kingdom, which is also at the centre of the continent, the believers of The Almighty know this is the spot where The Almighty defeated The Everlasting.
The unique boss is a remnant of The Almighty looking for a new host, Over the years it attached itself to a slime to survive. The Slime has developed a unique skill set that He plans to exploit for himself. He waits five minutes until the number of people moving around is commonplace.
NoobianK¥NG Shows his deed to an altar serf dressed in a grey robe. He opens the dense wooden door to the underground catacombs. The powerful seals making it impossible for the undead to revive here on holy ground. Moving through the maze of bodies and statues, he finds the stairs that descend into the lost tomb where the slime and the remnant are located.
With his strength, intelligence and endurance at one he can't move as he would or even as a new player would. He is restricted to the slowest speed which means he might not make his one-hour deadline going down the one thousand steps. At first, he tries to jump several stairs at once but that eats too much stamina. Then a really fast-paced walk while better it also consumed too much stamina causing him to stop for a whole minute. Due to his stats being at one his recovery rate is also garbage. He soon thou figures out that if he walks at a normal pace it consumes no stamina at all, descent takes about forty minutes.
He worries about missing the chaos, the powers are securing some of the easier rare classes that can be found at the beginning of the game. After his one-thousandth step he finally arrives, there an iridescent slime moves about. The tomb is a hole in the ground that has been carved with steps. At the beginning of the world, the Cardinals use to make the descent here. A Hajj to the holy place in the world. This practise fell out of favour when they discovered that the gods prefer a more direct form of worship.
He finds a few torches on the ground, he then uses the torches to open up the dripping hole so that puddle of water fills about half the tomb. The unique boss will have all his stats limited because of his level bring one, making this the best hunt ever. NoobianK¥NG Enters the slimes attack range, it jumps it round body looking at him. With his torch in hand, he waits a few seconds for the monster to attack, with magic. NoobianK¥NG Isn't afraid because if the boss has no traits, extra skill or titles available to it. It glows as a blast of fire is shot his way. He knocks it down with his torch which gets lit.
It glows green preparing for its next attack, the torch thrust much like a sword deals double damage to the slime and interrupts the attack. NoobianK¥NG Moves to water that has filled half the room ready to jump out of the way of its next attack an air dash.
The slime turns to him and becomes transparent before a blast of air propels it forward, NoobianK¥NG leaps as soon as he sees it coming. The slime crashes into the water as he ducks out moving out of the water toward the staircase.
The slime then turns a violet colour and unleashes a lightning attack which strikes it. The water interference caused the spell to hit and shock the slime. It then erupts brown and a series of cracks on the ground begins to explode from all around. From his vantage on the stair, he can't be affected. The spell requires a player to be on the same ground level as the slime. Next, he closes his eyes as the slime shimmers white producing a blinding light.
NoobianK¥NG Is glad Early Cardinal adheres to game systems so strongly, a normal slime would use a variety of attacks and methods however the instance of monsters using thought only starts at level twenty. He can now repeat the process until the boss is dead. He works through several cycles coming to the realization that he will miss his window. With only ten minutes remaining he needs at least another ten before it dies but by then it will be too late and the chaos would have passed.
He has to increase his rate of attack, he knows that it is at its most vulnerable after the fire blast as the next attack is a wood element and can be interrupted. However, he is worried about having to attack after the blinding skill, knocking down the fire attack and hitting it all in quick succession.
He tries once, messing up the fire knocked down and suffering seven points of damage. That leaves him with only three health left.
He sharpens himself the death penalty would have out the game for forty-eight hours. He follows his last steps making sure to not get hit. Then repeats the cycle until the slime has about fifteen per cent health left and he has only a minute left to do it. His health has only recovered by four bringing it back to seven.
He waits on the stairs, jumping just before the blinding skill, he attacks then dodging as he can't attack it with fire when it shimmers red. His dodge is more like a side step so he attacks again, as it shimmers to green dealing the double damage interrupting its skill.
Unable to make it to the water he sidesteps again putting the water behind him. He hesitates for a moment as a world message goes off the first of twenty.
[Congratualtions to player BaronT for finding the first rare class. Masked Rider! As the first you will receive class specific rewards and some reputation.]
NoobianK¥NG get scratched by the air dash, pushing him to the side far away from the stairs at least it lands in the water his health moves down to five. He has half stamina. The slime shimmers violet electrocuting itself.
[Congratulation to player I-r-win for being granted a rare class. Smith! As the first you will receive class-specific rewards and some reputation.]
The slime is now at the five per cent mark, When to NoobianK¥NG's horror it shimmers light blue, he had almost forgotten that no matter the level all bosses share one undeniable trait a last resort skill. The slimes' is a healing skill he leaps swinging his torch. He hits it after the jump he can only hit it four times. His third shot interrupts the cast, it starts to shimmer brown.
[Congratulations to player RowinOak for successfully finding a legendary class. As the first you will receive class specific rewards, a bonus to all your stats and a lot of reputation.]
NoobianK¥NG Doesn't care about the notification he is about to die the shimmer is almost completely as he connects...
[Congratulation to the Sigma Party....] NoobianK¥NG thinks it's a shame about they die.
