"I wanted this function so badly!"
After spending a few minutes complaining to Elizabeth, I finally recover
Then, I sigh and decide to continue comparing the similarities of the two systems
"Sigh! Keeping complaining is not going to make me learn this Skill, so I better let it go! Anyway! In the Game system, there were still two more things identical to the one here! These two things are the Titles and Classes system. There are thousands of different titles, which can be purchased in the most varied ways. There are two types of titles, functional and decorative. In the case of the first type, when it is equipped, it usually gives some Bonus of attribute or even a unique Skill to the user.
As for the second type, as the name implies, they are only decorative and have no real function! Generally, they only serve to show others that you have done something cool! Now that I think about it, the titles I have, as strange as they are, they are all still the first kind!"
I make a face of disgust when I remember the bizarre name that most of my titles have
However, I quickly recover and decide to continue
"I better stop thinking about it! Anyway! I think now only the Class option remains!
Unlike other games, where you select your class as soon as the game starts.
In Babel Tower, this feature is only released when the player reaches level 10!
Before that, the player has to kill the monsters and complete the missions using only the standard Skills of the game!
It is almost impossible for a level 9 player to kill a level 10 player in PvP! Let's assume that when I reach level 9, my attributes will be the same as mine are now, when I choose a class they will look like this:
Level 9: 28 STR, 30 DEX, 42 DEF, 93 VIT, 53 INT, 180 CHA
Level 10: 56 STR, 60 DEX, 84 DEF, 186 VIT, 106 INT, 360 CHA
Seeing this, do you understand why it is practically impossible for a classless player to kill one with one?
Anyway! Upon reaching level 10, a list with several classes appears. The Classes that appear for each player, depends on how that player distributed their initial Attributes. There are hundreds of different Classes, among them the five most common are
Barbarian, Cleric, Ranger, Mage and Druid!
As soon as you select a Class, you already gain three Skills from that Class!
Eventually as you level up, you gain a Class Advance, and your Class evolves and becomes stronger!
When I reached level 10, I selected my Class the moment I read its description and didn't even stop to look at the other Classes.
The class I selected was Druid! This is a Class, which allows the player to communicate with animals and monsters, use the energy of nature, and ultimately transform parts of his body into that of monsters and animals!
The main reason why he selected this Class was that in higher Levels, the player gets a Skill that lets him transform into animals and monsters!
As you may have guessed, I really liked this option, so I selected this Class!
Alkeides, unlike expected, selected the Cleric class.
For what he said, in the future he could become a Paladin.
Torsten, who was the leader of our small group (in the game), chose to become a Ranger.
After reaching a certain level, I released the Skill that allowed, to temporarily transforming myself into animals or monsters. I remember that during one of the missions, I chose to transform myself into a bird type monster, which attacked using sonic attacks... that is, a parrot!
During this mission, after turning into a parrot, I flew and perched on Alkeides' head. Up there, I started to repeat all the orders that Torsten gave us!
After a while, he started to get very angry, and started trying to hit me. However, in one such attempt, he ended up attacking Alkeides! This action irritated that idiot from Alkeides!
With that, the two started fighting, while I watched and laughed from afar! The result of this is that while the fight distracted us, a very high-level monster appeared and killed us! With that, in addition to losing a level, the mission ended up failing! Although this happened, I still had a lot of fun that day!
Anyway, these are the similarities of the game's Status and the Status here! As for these last two options,
After saying that, I look at Cat Information one last time, and something catches my eye
"Oh, as I expected, his claws are poisonous, and they burn what they touch! Wait a minute! They burn?"
Quickly, I walk over to the monster's body, and turn it over to analyze, the claws from the front legs
When moving the body, I notice that the floor under the monster is all burned
"Oh, I didn't expect this! The claws continue to burn, even after Cat's death! They probably still have the paralyzing effect! Doesn't it need mana… or just use the mana from the atmosphere just like my Skills?
Anyway! These claws will be very useful for me! After all, with them, I will finally have access to one of humanity's most important discoveries... The fire! I couldn't make a fire by rubbing branches. After all, the smoke produced by the wood here... is to kill! Huehuehue!"
After laughing for a while, I pull myself together and start looking at the decapitated body with doubt
"Hmm, now, the question that stayed in my head, since the fight is over. Why when Cat attacked me... he had his eyes closed?"
I walk to the body without the head, put my hand on my chin and as I look at it, I start to think of some theories
'Okay, thinking rationally. If he knew what my Skill was, and what are the conditions to activate it. That was a very smart move on his part! However, there's only one problem with that theory. I'm 99% sure that Cat doesn't know how my Skill works! Even if he knew, despite being a very simple plan, it is still very complex, for this monster. After all, he just follows his instinct! Man, why the hell, he close his eyes?'
At this moment, a certain thought crosses my head
"Wait! What if, he's running at a higher speed than he really could handle? Yeah, can be! When you run, at such a high speed, your body doesn't respond very well! I know that, because I already ran like this! This happened a few hours ago, when I was running for the second tree. At that time, I started to think that the trip was taking too long. Therefore, I decided to increase the speed!
After a few attempts, I realized that I reached a limit, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't run faster than that speed! However, I felt strange, as I felt that speed was not my real limit.
It was there, that I remembered a theory, which said that the human being is not able to fully use the capacities of his body, because there is a lock in him. This lock exists to prevent a person from hurting his own body, exerting a force he cannot control. I heard a story, that a mother and her son had a car accident. During this accident, the son was trapped under the car. Seeing this, the desperate mother, lifted the car completely alone, thus allowing her son to get out from under him. According to the previous theory, the moment she saw her son in danger, this mother temporarily unlocked the lock on her body, and with that, she had enough strength to lift the car.
While thinking about this story, a certain memory came to mind. I remembered of Monnct destroying his own body, to gain an extraordinary strength to try killing me.
After remembering that, I had the brilliant idea of trying to run and trying to increase my speed again. However, this time instead of letting go of my rationality controlling my body, I would let my instincts control it!
With that idea in mind, I closed my eyes and stood still while trying to get my instinct to take control of my body.
I spent a few minutes trying to do this, and when I was about to give up, I felt that my body was moving by itself.
It was a strange feeling. It felt like I was in control of my body, but at the same time not. Realizing that my body was accelerating, I decided to open my eyes. When I opened my eyes, they started to hurt a little, probably because of the strong wind on my face. I soon realized that I was running at a speed I had never reached before, I was very happy and at the same time a little scared about it! Yeah, my body was starting to make strange noises, as if it was cracking! However, I soon stopped worrying about it, as I realized that a large tree was right in front of me.
I tried to move my body to avoid it, but at that moment, I realized that my body was not responding very well and before I could control my body, I crashed hard against the tree.
It hurt like hell and I lost a lot of Health! Realizing how dangerous this technique can be, I decided to seal it, and use it only when my body can handle it... or in life and death situations! Anyway! When Cat attacked me, he was running at such a high speed that it forced him to keep his eyes closed because they were hurting. However, why? Why did he do it? When I did that, it was because that I was curious and wanted to test it! However, don't think he was able to have that kind of thinking! After all, if he had, he would move using rationality, and not the instinct!'
At this moment, a certain thought crosses my mind, and I quickly open up Cat's information
"Wait a minute! 'It is a Nocturnal Monster, because it hates the Sunlight' Damn it! It is! If it were, on Earth this would not be a problem! After all, the day lasts only 12 hours there. However, here is not the Earth… this is Skarseld!
Anyway, when I got here, it seemed to be in the middle of the day and I estimate that counting the time I slept, I have been here for over 60 hours! Besides that, it got dark only a few hours ago! So, I estimate that half a day has almost 60 hours.
That means, just the day here lasts about 120 hours or 5 days! Damn it! That explains why Cat attacked me like that! It wasn't he witch tried to let instinct control the body! The instinct took over his body, alone, without his asking!
He was controlling his body normally. However, the moment he saw me, hunger took over his body! His instincts warned him that I was dangerous. However, not wanting to give up the prey in front of him, hunger forced his body, to the limit, hoping it would be enough to kill me! Well, it took me by surprise, but it didn't even come close to killing me!
Yeah, this makes sense! After all, I was blacked out, for just a few hours and my hunger already controlled me, with such intent, who will say five days.
