After a crisp notification sound, Axel felt the familiar painless feeling of having his mind stretched into an infinitely thin thread before being sent to a new body. This was something that never happened in any other game other than Evolution Online, and some people made random conspiracy theories for the reason behind it; the possibility that the federation had found another species and enslaved them, allowing human players to take control over an individual of the species and play the game.
Naturally, all of that was simply rubbish.
However, Axel did not find himself in a new body, instead, he found himself in the void character creation space.
[System: Do you wish to create an account? Please note: you cannot have more than one account. Possession of alternate accounts will be punishable by the federation.]
"Yes"
[System: Please enter your details]
"…"
After entering everything that was required, including the pitiful 100 credits worth of savings he had in his bank account, he was presented with another question.
[System: Please select a spawn nation]
The federation has divided the game into 8 servers to allow for the game to open at 0700 and close by 1900 with each server being further divided based on their own particular storyline.
In his past life, Axel was in the US East, one of the two servers that encompassed the entirety of the North and South American zones. This server had a total of 8 nations, 4 that followed the god of light, and 4 that followed the god of death. The 4 nations of light consist of the Kingdom of Leon, the Roland Empire, the Holy State of Light, and the Islesat Empire. Leon wall is the kingdom for Beastmen, while Roland and the Holy State of Light are human nations. The Islesat Empire is a nation of lizardmen, which is separated from the other three nations by an incredibly vast amount of land, only connected by 3 roads going to each of the nations.
Since Axel had spawned into the Roland Empire in his previous life and knew all the tricks and hidden quests there, why would he give up that opportunity?
[System: You have chosen to start in the Roland Empire]
[System: Please select your profession from the options below:]
[Warrior]
[Archer]
[Sorcerer]
[Priest]
[Thief]
Without hesitation, Axel made his choice.
[System: You have selected Archer as your profession.]
Each of these professions have their own profession advancements every 50 levels, depending on the skills you have and the quests you completed with each profession having its own benefits.
To kill large numbers of mobs, sorcerers are the best option due to their AoE skills. Priests, like the name stated, had the jobs of buffing and healing allies, and de-buffing enemies. Thieves have the job of collecting mobs in one location for mages and the other party members to kill them as well as assassinate enemies. Warriors are in charge of taking on most of the aggro of monsters and tanking the attacks. Of course, although their attacks are slow, they did double the amount of damage compared to a thief at their level. However, the thief had a much higher attack speed, and therefore.
Archers are a slightly different profession. Although they had skills and levels like the other professions, they have a severe disadvantage, which is that their weapons were all consumables.
This meant that the amount of damage they could do is be limited, and run out soon enough.
However, in exchange, they received the benefit of having the longest range of all the professions, even the sorcerers.
All of these conditions are at the lowest level and basic stats of each profession, not including the skill of the player, their equipment, profession advancements, status effects and the active and passive skills of the character.
In his past life, Axel had chosen Archer because Dan wanted to be a Warrior, and he already had a thief, sorcerer, and priest. As he played more and more, he increasingly became better and better at playing the profession of Archer. Being an archer, he could solo a mob as long as he was far enough and had enough arrows.
