The hallway is unusually crowded by employees and students, for this hour of the morning. There are excited faces all around and the atmosphere is full of vigor as well as anxiety.
At this moment, a frail shadow can be seen walking in the hallway, hands tucked in his black denim pant and a black hoodie hiding his face, giving a calm and cool vibe. He makes his way to the reception counter but groans halfway when he see other students lining up. He looks up the time on the hologram flashing besides the cute receptionist.
It shows 8 am fix.
"I got up this early for no reason." he groans heavily.
"I should line up, since I am here either way." a small sigh escapes his lips.
He gets in line and starts to look around.
"I am so excited, the results are finally here." a fatty on his front squeals excitedly.
"Calm down, Josh." speaks his asian companion. "They will throw us out if we make too much noise." he speaks up, smiling wryly at his companion's antiques.
"Come on Ray! Don't tell me you are not excited?!" Josh says trying his best to be calm. "We are finally being assigned classes. I have dreamed of this moment my entire life. I am finally gonna be a warrior." he says with literally stars shining in his eyes.
The lean Asian boy just smiles. Then he turns to look at the boy with the hoodie in the back and sends him an apologetic glance.
He comes forward towards him and apologizes. "I am sorry about my friend. He is a little bit too excited."
"No sweat." he nods back.
"I am Ray. Nice to meet you." the Asian smiles and greets.
"I am Arel." he politely smiles back. "It's nice to meet you too."
"Unique name." Ray smiles lightly. "Are you a Genesis or from a clan?" he asks with interests.
"Genesis. I am the first in my family line. My father is a local businesses man back at home." he replies with a smile. "You? "
"Dad is a Elementalist." he replies with a pride that is hard to hide in his voice.
"That's nice." Arel replies back. "What about your fatty friend? " he asks.
"Oh? You mean Josh? His mothers is a Priest, and his father is a Ranger." he replies while staring at the fatty back.
"Oh. So he might be a mutation?" he asks a bit astonished.
"Yes." replies the lean Asian with a grin.
It all started when geologists discovered back in 2020 that earth might be dying. Their convictions got stronger with time and by January, 2030 , it was announced that earth might die in less than 100 years.
Soon panic spread. Although panic might be understatement.
On 4th March, 2037 researchers announced their counter plan. They had after much efforts developed a TWTS, two way teleportation system, later named Door, with the help of some ancient civilization's inheritances.
According to the results, they have a way to teleport people off earth to a different space, a different realm. The only problem was that the realm although stable was dangerous, in the way that humans weren't at the top of the food chain over there. Moreover, they can't use any hot weapons, be it their nuclear powers or a small pistol.
After much deliberations and protests, it was decided that they use this option and send some people first, so to establish a foothold.
Finally, on 1st June, 2040, a squadron of 50 was sent.
But they didn't come back. People lost hope.
On 13th January, 2041. The Door opened again and out of 50 only 13 came back. But, they were different, their body gave off an aura that humanity didn't know existed. Blood samples were taken and their bodies were diagnosed multiple times. The results shocked people. These few people had somehow become stronger than they were before and their life force had increased by a large margin. Researchers were ecstatic. But the surviving squadron had also warned them about the dangers that lurk there and how weak the humans are. Something else also fascinated the researchers. All thirteen of them had different blood samples and they each had a unique ability. Namely:
Swordsman
Ranger
Berserker
Assassin
Elementalist
Wizard
Knight
Priest
The other five were anonymous. Researchers characterised them into video game classes for the ease of understanding.
From their blood samples serums were made and cultivated.
Back to present.
24th July, 2145
Every new born child is given a serum injection at birth which helps mutate his/her body to one of the classes of the warriors when he grows up.
For example, take Roland he is a Genesis, a new breed. He is first in his family line to get mutated, due to the W-3 serum (the warriors serum).
Ray, on the other hand has a father who is already Elementalist so the W-3 serum will have little to no effect on him, as he already possesses the necessary genes.
Josh, is the odd ball. He can become any of the classes of the two of his parent's or both if he has enough talent.
"Sir, are you okay? " a sweet voice wakes him up from his contemplation.
He looks up to see the receptionist staring at him worriedly.
"No, I am fine." Arel replies back and steps forward to the counter taking out his ID card and placing it on the desk.
The receptionist smiles at him and accepts the card.
"I am here for my class assignment." he adds.
"I know." she replies back. "Please wait a second. It will be quick."
She starts typing something on the computer.
Arel's gotta admit she is beautiful and cute. Just as he is in his dreamland. A sweet voice wakes him back up.
"Wake up sleepyhead." she smiles at him and hands him a paper and his ID card.
"This is the list of the classes you can take." she adds with her smile. "Have a good day."
"You too." he replies a sheepish grin.
He walks away and takes a look at the list.
It isn't big. Hell there are only 3 classes mentioned.
Priest - 13%
Ranger - 38%
Swordsman - 94%
