"What the hell are these? I can't level up? And I can't fight? Is that it? I am useless?" Zaon rubbed his eyes again and again but then, the status window did not change.
But then, whatccan he do, he have the cheat skill, Appraisal, which can know the opponent's data, and even their equipment. This can help him to plan more, if he will be the brain of Caelestia again.
Another OP skill is the Learning Ability Boost. It is a boost that is used to learn things fast, and be able tto understand almost everything. Partnered with appraisal, it can be counted as a blessing.
Another thing is the Codex, although for now, he doesn't know how to use it, he will just use the Library ability.
The next thing that surprised him is the Talent Section. This is the first time that he saw it.
Even in his past life, the Talent is nowhere to be seen.
'Maybe because of the blessings and curses.'
Zaon then checked another thing that he got from the man with the clown mask.
The bronze card.
Zypher pulled it out and looked at it with puzzlement. The writing on the bronze card disappeared. It's a blank gray card, with a trace of bronze on the sides.
[Do you wish to open the "Bronze Card"?]
"Open it."
[You have obtained the Blessing: All Stats Unlocked.]

"What? That's all?"
[Yes.]
"Well not bad, but.."
[Absolute Weakling]
The effect of this curse. Only makes a stat have 10 maximum value. That means every effort won't have a return, for the maximum value will just stop at 10.
"I guess I'll just have to distribute points first."
First, 10 points to one stat, and 5 points to each stat.
For starters, it may be hard, but for Zaon, it is harder.
Having the blessings and curses, he can't have a fighting class, so Authority and Strength is a no go.
Agility may not be bad, but 5 points for it is already good, for the first few days of course.
The special stats such as Courage, Berserk and others are already good having 5 power.
That means the only ones left are Vitality, Fortitude, Constitution, Wisdom and Charisma.
Charisma is a no go. He won't need it right now.
Vitality and Fortitude are already good at 5 points, and are not useful yet for the first days.
Then it comes to Constitution and Wisdom.
To not have a fighting class, means that Zypher can only have production classes.
There are three types of production classes in Project: Zero.
First are the Producers. These are the professsions that deal with anatomy of the body and how nutrients can help or harm them. Under it are the Apothecary, Alchemist, Poison Maker, and Chef.
Second one is the Makers. These professions are the makers, or the ones that can make equipments and such. Under it are the Blacksmith, Accessory Maker, Tailor and Technician
Third one is the Scribes. They are the ones that uses runes, inscriptions and like to aid in one's battle or work. Under it are the Formation Master, Enchanters, Engravers and Talisman Makers.
These professions are the ones he needs to choose from after distributing the points. All of them need a skillful hand and skillful mind, and so, Zypher chose Constitution over Wisdom.
And so, the next quest came in.
{Link Quest 2: Choose a class.}
Description: Every player needs a class that he or she can use. Please choose a class chosen by the stat points you distributed
Rewards:
{Class}
{1000 EXP}
{Begginer's Weapon of Choice}
[Opening class list]
-Accessory Maker
-Alchemist
-Apothecary
-Blacksmith
-Chef
-Enchanter
-Engraver
-Formations Master
-Poison Maker
- Tailor
-Talisman Maker
-Technician
This is where the third effect of the blessing comes: Class Expansion.
[Class Expansion]
Description: Adds another class after maxing out the first class.
And so, he can experience classes, too bad is that for only production classes.
So first, he has to be a Maker, so he can choose to beanch out later on into scribes.
Producer is also good, for money making purposes, but Makers can also make money.
And so, Makers are the first one.
Tailors are good, for it can make leather armor and light armors for magicians and archers, and also assassins.
Blacksmiths are for weapon making and armors for the tankers and dealers.
Accessory Makers make the accessories such as necklace, bracelet, rings and others.
Technicians are basically scientists that creates mechanical things to remodify it and create more.
Money is good, and Zypher already planned the routes to get money, but then, not having a fighting class makes it harder for Zypher to complete the quests.
"If only I can use my past class."
Zypher sighed.
His past class is Illusionist.
Just like the Jester, Lara's class, the Illusionist is a copycat class, where not only the skill but also the appearance can be copied.
This made him the unknown Vice Guild Leader, but in truth, he was always with them in everything, it's just that he only plays small roles.
That insignificant role sometimes becomes the turning point of the whole ordeal, and that's why they always thwart the advances of the four guilds.
The prerequisites to use the Illusionist skill is that the player must touch the skin of the other person, and that will trigger the skill, making him copy their skills and appearance.
That appearance can be used as he likes, because one of the main skills of Illusionist is to change the stats, titles and traits, as well as the class. But, it only lasts 5 hours, and a week of cooldown per copy.
If he has Illusionist now, he can touch a high-level player, and solo the Legendary Quests in Acias.
One of the Legendary Quests in Acias is the Golden Needle, and the reward is the Infinute Dragon Thread, and the Golden Needle, which can be used by the Tailor Class.
In his past life, it was held by the Magic Night Guild, and by their Armory Department.
In his past life, the guild leader of Magic Night always have OP boots, gloves and cape, and this was because of the Golden Needle and the Dragon Threads.
Quests other than daily quests, or if the quest said so, is not repeatable.
That's why even if Zypher follow a certain linked quests, if the final reward is already claimed, he can't have the same reward.
And from this day, two years later, the Production Classes will have their reign, as the Kingdoms will have wars against each other, and the equipments, potions and other things will be highly priced.
But then, he didn't want to be part of the market war, he just had no choice.
The discovery of those rewards only came on the 19th Year Anniversary, where Dime leaked a photo of it, saying that there were Legendary Quests pertaining to Production Classes, and two of them is in Acias.
Alchemy and Tailoring.
This made the guilds fight over it, and Acias became a battlefield.
But then, the Alchemist was taken by Caelestia.
The Celestial Alchemist, Hanna Leer.
But then, she quit the game almost a year after she got the Alchemist Book, and the Alchemy Department lost their power.
Zypher investigated it in his past life, and was blocked again and again.
In the end, he discovered that Hanna was threatened by the Baltinoir Family, and her capsule was rigged.
The struggle of Caelestia started from the lost of Hanna Leer.
He has no particular memory of Hanna, but then, a guild member is always a guild member.
But, this is a trash start for him.
No levelling up, no OP stats, and no cheats.
It's like regressing is a hassle rather than a blessing.
But, as the brain of Caelestia, he must not fall here.
A world with him at Level 1 is still better than the world without him.
And so, Zypher decided to plan ahead, and obtain more information.
And, the next to be used is the Codex Library.
[Initiating Codex Library.]
[First Floor opened.]
[Entering...]
As soon as Zypher entered, he was met with shelves of books.
The library is a circular tower, with the stairs spiraling.
Standing at the first floor, Zypher looked at the books in front of him.
Although they are low levels, they are indeed useful for him, to get informations, and how to solve tje problems he face.
In truth, Zypher has already found some solutions to his problems.
The first problem is his stats. His low stats makes him super vulnerable to everything, and can easily die in the field.
Being overgeared is the way, but the level cap cannot be overcome as his level won't go up.
And upon looking at the library, he found an item that he needed to solve this.
Dragon's Heart.
Holy Mind.
Demon Physique.
It was said that dragons are proud individuals, and have no need to use equipments, but because of their natural constitution, they can wear and use any equipment with ease.
But, Dragon Heart Implantation is almost too dangerous, that when tried, the character will be deleted and unusable due to certain circumstances.
Holy Mind is for the Hero, who is not affected by any debuff and setbacks. The Hero can use any equipment, even if above his level, and use it perfectly.
But then, Zypher does not have the Hero trait, or anything that can connect him to the hero.
Demon Physique is for demons, and is too dangerous for humans. There was once a player who tried to get a Demon Physique, but was banned instead for the game data overflowed.
All three are dangerous, but he has to pick one if he wants to increase his stats.
Another problem is how he can fight, and is he always a sitting duck, waiting to be slaughtered?
But the most concerning one is the Illusionist Class.
If he can't get it, who would, and what are the chances that he will go against it.
Just thinking about the problems he will face, Zypher decided to pick his first class.
