"Unfortunately, in addition to their lack of skill, there is another major reason why people consider Martial Artist to be a trash class." Unlucky Warrior suddenly said.
"There's more?" Bai Tian was speechless.
He nodded and continued to speak, "They are the only class that don't have mana, so they cannot use magic."
Indeed, Bai Tian does not have mana. However, he had Spirit instead. With that being said, he wasn't an ordinary Martial Artist. He was also a Cultivator.
"Honestly, the worst part about being a Martial Artist is that once you have a class assigned to you, it cannot be changed, even if you purchase an entirely different console. Everyone has a unique ID that cannot be changed, regardless of what console they are playing in." Forgot My Shield said.
Bai Tian smiled, "I don't know about the others, but I don't hate being a Martial Artist. And while I would rather have a different class, it has nothing to do with how powerful the class is itself."
After their short conversation, Bai Tian returned to hunting Silver Gorillas, and they would also take turns hunting every hour.
Several hours later, after killing over two hundred Silver Gorillas, both Unlucky Warrior and Forgot My Shield leveled up to 30 at the same time.
"Thank you for the past several hours. Because of you, we have leveled up faster than we anticipated." Forgot My Shield suddenly said to Bai Tian.
"Are you guys leaving?" Bai Tian asked.
"Yes. Now that we have reached level 30, we are going to get our Class Advancement."
"Class advancement is at level 30, huh. Where do you need to go?" Bai Tian asked.
In most MMORPG, when a character reaches a certain level, they can get a class/job advancement, which will make the character's class stronger and gain more skills.
"You can get a Class Advancement at any Holy Cathedral. Unfortunately, there aren't any in Red Iron City, so we will have to travel to another city. The closest city with one is about 3 days away at Galadriel." Forgot My Shield said.
"I see. Then good luck."
"Wait. Before we leave, want to become friends? After we get our Class Advancements, we are going to start grinding dungeons around Galadriel. If you are ever around the area or want to group up again, just contact us."
Bai Tian nodded, "Sure, since I will probably be heading there soon, and I also plan on doing dungeons later."
[Accept] [Decline]
[Accept] [Decline]
Bai Tian accepted both of their requests.
In his friends list, he could see their name, level, class, and current location.
"So your name is Black Heaven, huh? Quite unique." Forgot My Shield said.
Although Bai Tian's new friends found his name oddly familiar, they didn't think too much about it.
"Then we will see you later."
"Good luck with your grind."
The pair suddenly took out a crystal and shattered it, and their bodies dissipated into thin air.
This caused Bai Tian to raise an eyebrow, and he wondered if it was some kind of teleport.
He looked at his friends list, and sure enough, they were both back at Red Iron City.
Sometime later, he left the Silver Gorillas hunting ground to find stronger monsters.
Meanwhile, back at Red Iron City, Unlucky Warrior and Forgot My Shield went to restock their supplies.
"Hey, is it just me, or does the name Black Heaven sound familiar? I swear this isn't the first time I've heard it." Forgot My Shield asked his friend.
"No, I also have that feeling, but I cannot remember where I heard it from."
"We probably heard it from the internet. I'll go look him up later."
After stocking up their supplies, they took a break from the game to get on the internet.
Unlucky Warrior and Forgot My Shield searched up the name 'Black Heaven', and the results shocked them to the core.
[Unknown player 'Black Heaven' sweeps the Grand Tournament, bringing all professional players to their knees!]
[Player Black Heaven has reached #1 in Ragnarok Online!]
[Player Black Heaven destroys the number one guild 'Whales' by himself in Eden Online!]
[Who is this mysterious player 'Black Heaven'? How did he dominate the gaming world after his first appearance only a year ago?]
[Legendary Player 'Black Heaven' strikes again, conquering the new game Nine Swords Fantasy!]
[Player Black Heaven's legendary feats!]
Forgot My Shield and Unlucky Warrior's mouth were wide open as they read titles upon titles of Black Heaven's achievements.
"Fuck! How could I forget such a massive name?! Black Heaven is the most mysterious player in the world! Despite being in the gaming scene for many years, nobody knows his identity!" Unlucky Warrior exclaimed out loud.
Bzzzz… Bzzzz…
He suddenly received a phone call from none other than Forgot My Shield.
"Dude! Black Heaven! He's that mysterious player who has been dominating the gaming scene for the past three years!" Forgot My Shield's excited voice echoed through the phone.
"I know! I just searched his name! But do you really think it's him? I mean, he could be a fan using that name. There have been many imposters throughout the years that tried to steal his fame." Unlucky Warrior expressed his doubt.
"As far as I am aware, there's no limit to one's name, so more than one player can have the same name. Unfortunately, that means there's no way to really confirm it unless we ask him ourselves– if he'll even admit to being the real Black Heaven. After all, he's kept his identity hidden for so long. It wouldn't be weird if he continued to do so. Furthermore, we don't even know if Black Heaven is a male or female."
"Looks like we will have to wait until our next encounter, since there's no way to message him even if we have him added as a friend." Unlucky Warrior sighed.
After their call ended, the two of them continued to surf the internet for more information about Black Heaven, as they hoped to find something that could prove whether the one they have in their friends list was the real one or not.
