Chereads / The Poison Snake / Chapter 2 - Class Choice

Chapter 2 - Class Choice

As Utsuro started to analyze he soon realized that most of his stats were at 0, and that he already obtained skills.

"System why do I already have skills and why are most of my stats at 0?" Utsuro questioned.

[The Host Has Just Recently Been Born, So Host's Stat Haven't Developed Yet Similar To A Baby Being Born. The Reason Why Host Has Skills Would Be Because Of Your Past Life, They've Been Carried Over]

Utsuro went over everything that the system had said. He then realized that he had a knife mastery skill, but how was he gonna use it? He didn't have any hands. He decided to that problem aside for future him.

Utsuro prepared himself for whatever was outside of this egg by asking the system questions. "System what kind of monsters are there? And what type of monsters are outside of this egg?" Utsuro asked.

[There are various types of monsters ranging from dragons to zombies. And I am unable to inform the host what types of monsters are outside of the egg since this information.]

"When can I get a class and a subclass? And how do I level up?" Utsuro asked.

[The host will get the choice to pick a class once you're born and you'll get a subclass once you hit level 10. You can level up by devouring an entity and choosing whether to turn it into nutrients to eat or exp.]

Utsuro wasn't sure what other questions to ask, so he just stayed quiet since the system wasn't really company, it was just a help center in a way. Time flew by fast for Utsuro he couldn't tell whether it was day or not, but it wasn't all bad. He slowly started to watch as his stats grew the older that he got, until he finally hatched.

------------------ 9 WEEKS LATER ------------------------

'I've seem to develop inside of the egg, and its starting to become cramp' Utsuro thought as he was getting ready to break through the egg. Utsuro springs towards egg wall, and collides with it.

*Crack*

Hearing this noise Utsuro was preparing his next assault against the egg wall. He once again coiled up and sprang towards the wall. And with one final *Crack* Utsuro broke through the egg wall, and was met with bright light.

'Finally I've hatched, and now I can see what is outside this damn egg' Utsuro thought as he slithered around the room he was in. Although slithering was weird to Utsuro It had become second nature to him while he was in the egg.

Utsuro was about to look around when a notification had popped up in front of him.

[Choose Class]

Fighter - The most physically strong of all the class groups, has high health points, attack, and defense. Class specializes in melee attacks, whether with weapons or just plain old fists.

Mage - The most skilled in the arcane arts. Mages are generally typified by their lack of traditional weaponry, foregoing steel in favor of fire, ice, and other spell use. They're able to cast shield, healing, and regeneration spells depending on their element. Mages also usually do their damage from long range, as opposed to close quarters.

Assassin - The class forgoes raw strength in favor of a more subtle approach, higher skill sets in the areas of stealth, sneaking, and smaller, quicker weapons. A higher rated in lock picking, sneak attacks, and speed.

Archer - The Archer class is skilled with a bow and arrow, incredible long-range skill to inflict damage, they can also be useful at close range, as most have some skill with short-range weapons.

Enchanter - They perform enchantments provide various effects like buffs. For example, an enchantment may raise allies attack, lower enemy defense or make a weapon stronger. The class does very little damage.

Priest - They're technically a subclass of mage. Priests are also called healers because of their ability to cleanse, and heal. The class does can do little to no damage unless the target are the undead.

Necromancer - The class excels at spreading disease and debuff spells of plague and disease to apply D.O.T. (damage over time) and capable of summoning minions and undead to reanimate as servants.

Summoner - The class is skilled in taming or summoning monsters. They're able to use those summoned in a fight if the summoned agrees to it.

Jack Of All Trades - The class has no well-defined parameters. They have different base stats, growth stats, and weapon/armor proficiency. Jack-of-all-Trades types instead can simply learn a wide variety of skills/abilities and be proficient with any weapon type. In many cases, they can learn their way into any role. They have the unique ability to learn a weaker version of their allies/enemies abilities. For example, assume a certain monster in a certain area has the ability Gaze, which paralyzes or turns allies to stone. The class can learn that ability by performing a certain action on that monster. The class would now be able to use Gaze on enemies. These characters often do higher-than-average damage and offer a wide diversification profile.

Utsuro surveyed the classes, he wanted to make sure he didn't come to regret his decision. Utsuro already knew that Archer was already not a choice since he didn't have hands. He considered getting Summoner, but realized that would require him to befriend monsters, and he wasn't the most social person. He also didn't like the idea of relying on someone other than himself.

He couldn't choose Necromancer either considering that he would need to kill his enemies in order to reanimate them. He had no idea what kind of enemies he would face, so if he were to pick that class it could be his downfall. Utsuro glanced at Priest briefly before quickly dismissing it consider that they could only heal. It wouldn't help him grow strong at all. He may consider it for a subclass though.

All that was left was Jack Of All Trades, Fighter, Enchanter, Assassin, and Mage. He discarded Fighter and Enchanter considering that he would need to come close to his opponent. Utsuro wasn't the most healthy or physically fit person . He had always killed his targets through different methods, like sneaking up behind them and hitting them with a hammer.

Utsuro considered Assassin since he was sort of an assassin in his past life. He did sneak up behind people to kill them after all. After a long consideration Utsuro decided to not choose Assassin since he wanted to try something new, and the monsters he might face in the future may have a detection skill.

He ended up choosing Mage since he was going to add Jack Of All Trades to his future subclass list, it would be a great asset to him later on.

"I choose Mage as my class"

[Host has chosen the class Mage, please choose element.]

[Choose One Element]

Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, Darkness, Light, Poison, Lightning, ice, Nature, Wind, Psychic.

Utsuro ended up choosing Poison because it would allow him to kill his opponent without them even knowing it was him. He also ended up choosing it since it related to him since he was now a snake.
