[Individual rewards will be sent to each person separately]
After reading the messages that appeared in front of everyone and seeing he ranked first Zeke was excited.
Also, the reward for being first is ownership of the Outpost.
While massaging his still-tender ribs, Zeke pondered the significance of the outpost. Despite not knowing its current purpose, he knew that it would be important given the intense battle they had just faced.
Zeke was also surprised by how quickly his broken ribs had healed. He then checked his updated stats and saw that he had gained nine levels, including the three he earned from playing in the mini-game.
[Zeke Anderson]
Level: 23
Rank: Novice
Talent: None
Class: None
Strength: 81 (+20)
Agility: 62
Stamina: 50
Health: 52
Magic: 31
Skills: [Inspect]
As he reviewed his stats, Zeke swiftly concluded that his enhanced health stat likely played a significant role in his natural healing and regenerative abilities.
'Okay now, let's go over my rewards' he thought while he navigated the system.
[Individual Rewards for ranking first in the mini-game]
[Bonus Rewards for ranking first in the first Mini-game in the United States]
1x Epic Class Choice Book
1x Talent Choice Pack
2x Rare orb
10 attribute points
Excited at his rewards he started with what seemed to be the best and used his Epic Class book right away to check the options he received.
[Please pick between the following choices. Each choice will have a small description.]
[Berserker] (upgradeable)
Berserker is a warrior who channels their inner rage and unleashes devastating attacks upon their enemies. When surrounded by more than 100 enemies increase your strength by 1/10th for each enemy.
[Elemental Mage] (upgradeable)
Elemental Mage is a master of the arcane arts who specializes in controlling the elements of nature. More elements will be unlocked for you as your rank increases. Your magic stat instantly increases to 150 and you will unlock mana.
[Vampire Heir] (upgradeable)
Vampire possesses supernatural powers and abilities. Vampires are immortal beings who can drain the life force of their enemies to heal themselves, move at incredible speeds, manipulate the minds of others, and are immune to viruses and diseases. You will be able to create limited loyal followers.
[Holy Paladin] (upgradeable)
Holy Paladin uses holy energy and fight for justice and righteousness. When fighting for the 'right' thing increase your stats by +400 for each stat. This effect only lasts for 20 minutes. If on the verge of defeat and protecting someone doubles each stat. This effect will wear off once the fight is over.
After Zeke checked each class and read the descriptions, he had long thought about which one to choose.
Zeke immediately crossed off Holy Paladin from the list of options, as he realized the class was not suited for him. Right and wrong are so varied and subjective.
As the class seemed overpowered it could also backfire in certain situations.
Accessing the other choice as he double-checked the description his gut was telling him to pick Berserker as it seemed like he would be a one-man army, but for some reason, Zeke kept glancing at Vampire Heir.
After he thought about it more carefully he quickly choose Vampire Heir due to one of the main reasons being the superhuman strength, the insane regenerative properties, and along with not being able to be affected by viruses.
[Unable to assign Vampire Heir to Zeke Anderson due to rank limits]
[Calculating....]
[Degranded Vampire Heir down to Halfling]
The next moment everyone heard a loud bang and noticed multiple tables and chairs were thrown against the wall and broken.
The group of students and teachers were taken aback upon realizing that it was Zeke. Having witnessed his formidable abilities during the zombie battle in the mini-game, they were wary of incurring his wrath and swiftly resumed their respective tasks, avoiding any confrontation.
Despite still recovering from her previous unconscious state, Sarah paused briefly to collect her thoughts before approaching Zeke to ensure that all was well.
"I didn't think the person who got first place by so many points would be so angry with his rewards."
After he heard Sarah's voice Zeke calmed down and just crossed his arms while in deep thought.
"Sorry, just felt like the system scammed me and should have taken my first choice."
Sarah noticed he was being vague and not really wanting to explain what happened in detail and pushed a little harder, "What do you mean by that? Is there anything we can do to help?"
Zeke let out a sigh and, after contemplating for a moment, disclosed to her, "I had a choice between two classes and went with the Vampire Heir reward instead of the Berserker class, against my instincts. But when I tried to use the book, it was degraded to halfling status due to my rank."
It's not what I wanted, and I feel like I wasted my choice for nothing."
Sarah listened attentively and then offered, "Maybe we can talk to the game master and see if there's anything that can be done?"
Zeke nodded, appreciative of Sarah's support, "Yeah, let's try that. Maybe they can exchange it for something else."
After several attempts by Zeke and Sarah, they came to the realization that there was no game master or system in place to address their questions.
The system gave information when it wants and doesn't reply to seem to reply when questions are asked.
Having acknowledged this fact, Zeke accepted that he was now committed to his chosen class and proceeded to focus on his other rewards. Resolved not to repeat his earlier mistake, he opted for the Talent pack.
