Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Rise Of The Unique Class {1}

The school bell rang, and with that familiar "Tun Tun," the students hurriedly gathered their things, eager to leave their classrooms.

In the bustling hallway, you could hear the steady "thud thud" of footsteps. Conversations buzzed around. One student complained, "Today's class was tough; I couldn't understand a thing the math teacher said."

Another suggested, "Let's go to the PC room guys; we need a break! That math teacher's words were like poison to my mind"

The student leading the way playfully slapped a daydreaming classmate by the window looking toward the sky, saying, "Hey, snap out of it! Give us some cash."

The daydreamer, tall with black hair, monolid eyes, and pale skin, with a mix color of green and black in his iris, was pulled from his daze, staring at the bully, with suppressed anger in his eyes.

The bully grabbed his collar, after seeing his eyes and threateningly showing a clenched fist. "Hey, you twat," he sneered, "who're you're giving those eyes! give me the money, or you won't know how to walk back to your house."

Lucas felt a surge of anger welling up within him, but he remembered the promise he had made to his mother.

He recalled a past incident when he had hurt some classmates badly, and they had ended up in the hospital for three months with fractured bones, and his mom had to change the place for me to get to another school after that incident.

Lucas whispered to himself, "I want to punch him so bad, but I can't do that. I can't cause more problems for my Mother when she is working herself to the bone to give me a good life"

Suddenly, the bully seeing Lucas ignoring his words forcefully threw Lucas in a fury, against the classroom board, causing him to wince in pain. 

The bully continued to taunt him, "I know you have money, you retard. Your stupid mother gives you an allowance. Now, give it yourself!"

Lucas realized that today was not the day to pick a fight. He reached into his bag and took out some notes he saved. He reluctantly handed one note over, saying, "Here, that's all I can give, I need the rest of the money."

The bully smirked and swiftly took the few notes leaving the one he singled out in his hand. "You should have given it to me sooner," he taunted. "Then, you wouldn't have had to endure a beating and you know the extra is for making me wait, Right? 

The bully waited for his answer but Lucas did not meet eyes to him seeing this the bully smirked and murmured "Coward!" signaling to his friends "Let's go now."

As they were leaving, a sudden thunderous sound erupted from the sky, as if the heavens were tearing apart. A mechanical voice boomed from above, proclaiming, "Primitive world, serial No. 0x2233n45, has been integrated into the Akashic system. Injecting the mana"

Panic swept through the students, their voices raised in confusion. "What's happening? What was that voice?" most cried out in unison.

As the shock and confusion continued to grip everyone, the mysterious voice from before spoke once more, its words echoing through the sky. "The world level has been deemed low for mana sustainability and high evolution of the races, finding an alternative… decided that your world will be merged with other low and mid worlds, creating a new world suitable for ascension tutorial."

Lucas, still in disbelief, gazed outside the window. Before him, the very atmosphere seemed to rupture, and he could see the eyes of someone or something peering through. He muttered in shock, "What the heck is happening?"

A countdown screen, bathed in a deep blue hue, materialized in the sky, and the mechanical voice continued, "The merging of worlds will commence in 30 minutes. New species will be introduced, and existing ones will evolve."

The countdown timer displayed 30 minutes, and every passing second seemed to weigh heavier on the spectators. In a desperate attempt to intervene, the government dispatched jets to the location of the countdown screen, but they simply passed through it as if it were a holographic projection.

Suddenly, the mechanical voice announced, "The mana surge will first initiate the evolution of species and allocate random classes to sentient primitive species, namely 'humans.' Main Skills will be assigned according to their classes."

In response, a mysterious blue screen appeared in front of every person on Earth. The bully, with an oddly amused expression, remarked, "Ho ho, this feels like one of those world-ending novels."

Lucas, still trying to come to terms with the surreal situation but much calmer than others around him, examined the strange blue screen in front of him. 

He muttered to himself, "It looks like I'm not hallucinating. It seems real enough, and I can even pass my hand through it if I don't want to touch it."

The world as they knew it was on the brink of a profound and inexplicable transformation, and there was no turning back.

The mechanical voice continued its eerie presence, now directly in the minds of everyone, stating, "The system initiation has been completed. Class cards are being distributed."

Without warning, identical cards with the same color and design on both sides emerged from the hovering blue screens in front of each person. 

As the individuals stared at the cards in wonder, the mechanical voice in their minds instructed, "Choose a class card to obtain your class."

The world had been thrust into an unimaginable reality, where decisions made in the next few moments would shape their destinies or their lives in ways they could hardly fathom.

In a world on the brink of merging and evolution, the fate of each individual rested in their choice of class.

Amidst the rising panic, people began frantically selecting their class cards, many of them doing so without much thought. 

Voices filled the air, with some individuals exclaiming, "Hey, does anyone here play games, I got 'Swordsman' class is it good?" 

"Can anyone tell me, if 'Archer' is a good class?"

Meanwhile, the bully, in a moment of desperation, clasped his hands together and muttered, "Oh, heavens, let me choose a good card. Wait, our god has sold us, so where should I pray? Well, whatever, let's choose one."

As the bully selected his card, it disappeared into his body, and a sudden excitement overtook him. "Haha! Luck is really on my side. I've become a pyromancer!" he proclaimed with glee.

Lucas, observing this chaotic scene, carefully considered his options before making his decision. But just as he was about to choose, a blood-curdling scream echoed from the corridor.

The principal screamed out, "Ahhhh! My chibi, what's happening to you?" Her pet chihuahua, right before her eyes, began to undergo a grotesque transformation with sounds of bones cracking and reforming, growing into a massive three-meter wolf and attacking its owner. 

Chaos erupted as students outside fled in terror, and those inside locked themselves in their classrooms.

In the midst of this horrific scene, Lucas too reflexively selected a card in front of him.

To his surprise, the mechanical voice in his mind spoke once more, "Congratulations on obtaining the class, Necromancer. You can access the system by saying or thinking 'status'."

Lucas was left in awe, as an epic class was granted to him amidst the chaos and panic that had engulfed the world, making him want to leap in joy, but that was not the end.

The next second, the obsidian ring tied with a string around his neck, started floating as it released a black fume, Lucas panicked and looked around to see if others could see it, but everyone was already too busy themselves to notice him.

The black fume slowly started entering his skin, feeling it creeping in veins up to his heart, but it was not something painful instead he felt comfortable and energized like eating a super supplement.

And the system voice came into his mind.

[Detecing the huge amounts of energy forcing in the user's body]

[The class necromancer reacting to the energy type, evolving the class 30%...50% ….]

The evolution went on for a few minutes while Lucas surprised seeing this thought to himself "WTF!! This stupid ring is making my class evolve" 

He then remembered his father's words when he gave him this ring before passing some days after, that it fell in his backyard when he was younger, but Lucas always thought that his father was just lying, but the situation was compelling him to believe.

As the evolution percentage completed mechanical voice said it to him.

[class evolution completed congratulations on obtaining a unique class, The Death Controller.]

 Lucas shocked quickly uttered the word "status," the mechanical voice responded, and the blue screen appeared before him then became black in color with letters written with bones.

Displaying the message, "Individual system initiating, opening the status screen."

In an instant, the once-black screen transformed into a detailed interface filled with various elements and a face image.

Lucas found himself staring at a wealth of information and statistics, each element on the screen providing insights into his newfound class as a Death controller. eager to see his abilities.

Lucas couldn't help but be intrigued by this newfound information. With a sense of wonder, he inquired, "What is the title's use?"

The mechanical voice responded, "Titles are given to a user after he/she does something deemed unique or achievement by the Akashic system. Different titles come with different benefits."

Lucas, now cryptic in his curiosity, thought, "I think I heard myself getting a Title earlier, how do I view it?"
