~Ding~
Seraph saw a rectangular interface in front of him, the sides of the interface had vines that climbed up it with small wings at the side of it. Seraph blinked, he blinked once more and this time rubbed his eyes. On the interface the word "Angelic System" was clearly seen.
Suddenly all of his senses assaulted him, He felt the wind on his skin, The sounds of the wilderness rung clearly in his ears. He heard the occasional thump and then a shout or girly scream from students. They were still appearing, he pried his attention away from the rectangle screen and looked up to see a gigantic magical circle.
He estimated it to be the size of a building, looking beyond the magic circle he could see the sun, and then his eyes widened as he saw another sun and two more moons in the sky.
'Where are we?' Seraph's thoughts raced but was interrupted as he saw another student slowly come out of the magical circle and begin free falling toward the ground, landing with a huge thump. He looked at this student and saw it was Shi-Won. He just stared at him, he couldn't believe what was happening.
He saw that beyond Shi-Won, was a forest. He could only see the forest's outskirts, although it was bright outside he could barely see into the forest. It was as if someone pulled up a curtain, and this curtain was all around them. They were surrounded by forest.
Seraph quickly realized that they were within a clearing in a large forest. He also realized that everyone was panicked. He couldn't blame them; he was also panicking. People were falling out of the sky, and there was a 'system' from all the internet stories he had read just floating in front of him..
'What's happening?' Even though Seraph was panicking, he felt something deep in his body that made him excited. He could even feel his lips begin to curl up. He was scared, however he felt a sense of hope. He could finally change, change his destiny and become a hero, become someone important.
'I can finally feel whole... .' His hands gripped the ground beneath him tightly, his eyes turned resolute.
With this in mind, His fear and anxiety slowly washed away, replaced only by determination and hope. He looked at the rectangular interface which said 'Angel System' he expected something to happen but nothing happened when he looked at it. Curious he raised a finger and touched it.
"HELLO!" A message in all caps appeared in front of him, he then saw the message be replaced by a stats screen.
[Name [Seraph Morning]
[Rank: Novice (Monk) ]
[Level 1, 0/100 EXP ]
[Strength, 3]
[Agility, 2]
[Endurance, 7]
[Mana, 5]
[Charm, 2]
Passives,
Resistance Pain,
Active,
Preach, Purify
Souls: 0
Resistance Pain, You've undergone a lot of pain in your life, giving you a slight tolerance to it.
Preach, Your words are able to affect many. Spread the words of god and wisdom to those around you. Convert non-believers, sinners, and even the worst of humanity into bastions of purity and righteousness.
Purify, Purify water… a basic spell to purify anything.
Seraph looked at his stats and almost cried when he saw his strength, agility and charm stat. However, he was slightly better after seeing his endurance stat and then he was really happy after seeing his mana stat.
'Mana? Does that mean I can use magic?! If I can use mana does it even matter if my strength and agility stat are trash? I could become a famous wizard like Merlin or gandalf!' Seraph's mind started to race with the possibilities.
He then started looking at his passives, he sighed from what he saw and shrugged. He then looked at his actives and frowned, they were trash in his eyes, preach sounded like something based on his charisma skills which was an area he was clearly lacking and purify… he could only hope that it was good.
'Souls?' His eyes then finally fell upon the final stat, 'Does that mean I can take souls?'
A message suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, "No."
Seraph was first surprised by the message, the system could listen to his thoughts and answer his questions accordingly. He was happy that his system wasn't going to be a dick to him. He began asking the system a variety of questions on how to use it accurately, what it's best suited for.
The system didn't say anything to him until all of his questions were done and one word appeared in front of his eyes "Everything."
He didn't have time to process what the system said before he heard a loud voice overtake the field, "Everyone!" a burly voice took over the many panicking souls, everyone looked over instinctively at the man who just yelled.
Seraph recognized the burly man immediately as the principal, Hung Kwang. He was a tall burly man in his middle ages. "Everyone! Calm down! Alright, if you can see a floating screen raise your hands!" He spoke seriously. But no one laughed at him.
Seraph hesitated but when he saw that everyone else was raising their hands, he raised his hand as well. He was disappointed, apparently he was still weak even in a different world. His hopes and dreams were not crushed though he now held the hope that he could at least be treated better.
Kwang seeing the hands, sighed and said "Everyone, let's all face the terms that we may be in some type of fantasy world." People started making an uproar but he shouted "Shut it! Face it! I'm not going to hide the truth from you all, if we don't come to terms with where we are now. Some of us might die."
Everyone went silent, Seraph included… 'Death? With this shitty system I can't even protect myself…'
"If you understand, then let's organize. Teachers! Round up your class and get in order. I need to figure out a few things before we proceed." The Principal took role as the leader, the teachers who were also scared were encouraged by the principals words to cooperate or they might face death.
Seraph's Teacher Mr. Zhu quickly found Seraph and his other students and formed a group.
The principal took roll call and then he began, asking everyone about what they can see on their systems. After this the principal came to seraph's class, seraph quickly said what his rank was he didn't give away the name of his system because no one here said anything about the name of a system. They just gave a rank and stats.
Seraph noticed that when Kwang came over to Shi-Wong the people around cheered in joy. Seraph was too far away from them to actually hear what they were saying but he had a bad feeling.
Sooner or later, the principal came in front of the students. He stood there for a few seconds like he was organizing the information in his head.
"What I've figured out is this: The systems we have are not unique as you think. I can actually divide the systems in four different classes just like a video game. Warrior, Mage, Assassin, and Archers and under each different classes are subclasses some of the warrior classes have sub classes of knight or even sword hero." He looked at Shi-Won and smiled, which made seraph's heart drop.
Shi-Won straightened his back and placed his hands on his hips, a classic superhero pose. People around him gave him an expectant gaze which was far from the truth for Seraph.
"I won't explain each different subclass these four main classes have because if i did we'd be wasting time. Under the subclasses are jobs that correlate to the things you did when you were on earth, the athletes may have a job related to athletics. The scholars here have jobs related to being a scholar."
"Your stats also do the same, your stats correlate to how strong you are and after meeting with all of you. I've calculated that the average of each stat is a 5 with only special exceptions being above 5 or below it."
Seraph grew even more gloomier, he only had one stat that was above a five and he figured out his mana was average. While more than half of his other stats were below 5… below average.
Kwang continued his speech, He then was forced to stop speaking as a bright light covered his body. Seraph eyes widened, he immediately thought of the worst. He thought the principal was being killed by the light but then the light faded…
Kwang now wore great blue robes, he raised his arms and looked at his long robes with surprise. He then looked at the others and seraph saw his eyes bulge. Immediately he looked at himself and found that he now wore leather armor. He pressed his arm on the leather chestplate and found that it was real…
'When did i?' He looked around and found that everyone here had also changed outfits. Everyone wore vastly different outfits, some warriors wore only pants with an axe in hand while the mages had staffs in their hand.
