Inside the dimly lit first floor of the dungeon, the air hung heavy with the scent of damp stone and wood.
Leon sat on a big wooden chair with a smirk on his face and a screen floating in front of his face.
"System... I want to change class."
A translucent blue panel shimred into existence before him.
[Class Change is available!]
[Are you sure you want to change classes?]
[Yes / No]
"Yes," Leon answered without the slightest hesitation.
The mont his confirmation registered, three vivid crimson warning screens exploded into view one after another, each edged in pulsing scarlet light.
[Warning: Changing classes will remove all current class-based skills and reset class progression level to 1. Base HP and MP values will be preserved.]
[Warning: The class change option may be skipped at any ti.]
[Warning: Class change can only be perford once per lifeti. Choose with utmost care and all current class related skills will be taken away.]
Leon let out a low whistle, eyebrows lifting as he scanned the aggressively flashing red ssages.
"Wow... those are so really big, really angry-looking red screens," he muttered to himself, half-amused.
He read through the warnings again, more slowly this ti, letting each word sink in.
"So my level resets to one... but the actual HP and MP I’ve built up stay the sa?" A thoughtful gleam entered his eyes. "That ans I’ll lose all the level-scaling perks tied to my current class, sure... but honestly? Who cares."
He gave a dry chuckle.
"My so-called ’Alchemist’ class is completely useless to . I have zero interest in spending my days brewing potions or mixing herbs and I don’t really care about the spells related to this class. So yeah... I’m doing this."
With a decisive flick of his finger, he tapped [Yes].
[Class Change has been initiated...]
[Note: 50 class levels have been forcibly reset!]
[Please select your new class within the ti limit: 30 minutes.]
"Ti limit?" Leon blinked, the words catching him off guard.
Before he could process it further, a long vertical list unfurled in front of him.
[Swordsman]
[Archer]
[Alchemist]
[Mage]
[Dark Mage]
... [Click for more]
"More...?" he echoed, puzzled. He reached out and tapped the option.
Instantly the screen expanded outward in a dizzying rush, transforming into an enormous, semi-transparent wall of text that stretched far beyond his field of vision. Hundreds—no, thousands—of class nas scrolled past in neat columns.
"Fucking hell..." Leon breathed, eyes widening in genuine shock.
Shadow Master.
Mind Flayer.
Necromancer.
Circus Master.
Blood Sovereign.
Abyssal Contractor.
Void Weaver...
These weren’t the safe, beginner-friendly classes handed out at starter villages. These were the real ones. Classes belonging not only to humans, but to every race, every nightmare, every monster this world had ever birthed.
He began scrolling slowly, scanning for nas that stood out, drawn to the longer, darker, more evocative titles. For the next twenty-six minutes he read description after description using his fast reading skill, muttering to himself, weighing pros and cons, discarding dozens of tempting options in seconds.
Until only four remained floating prominently in his mind.
[Puppet Master]
[Malice Embodint]
[Shadow Revenant]
[Dark Summoner]
Each one promised obscene versatility—access to virtually any dark spell tree, just like a high-tier Dark Mage, yet twisted into sothing far more unique and dangerous.
A sharp chi interrupted his thoughts.
[Warning: Less than 5 minute remaining until class selection window closes.]
[If no choice is made within 4 minutes and 23 seconds, the class change will be canceled and permanently locked with {Alchemist} Class.]
"Fuck—fuck—fuck!" Leon hissed under his breath, pulse spiking.
He stared at the four glowing class panels hovering before him, each accompanied by its neatly formatted description.
[Na: Puppet Master]
[Type: Monster]
[Description: The Puppet Master may summon lifelike human puppets whose appearances can be freely altered to the master’s desire. Their movents and actions are controlled remotely from any distance. Puppets grow stronger alongside their creator and, in turn, amplify the master’s own power.]
[Na: Malice Embodint]
[Type: Demon]
[Description: An Embodint of Malice draws strength directly from ambient negative mana, channeling it to reinforce the body and unleash devastating forbidden spells without suffering the usual backlash or penalties. Exceptionally powerful in environnts saturated with malevolent energy like negative mana. Severely weakened in areas dominated by neutral or positive mana.]
[Na: Shadow Revenant]
[Type: Undead]
[Description: Shadow Revenant is one of the rare classes that no ordinary undead can achieve. Shadow Revenants are excellent in using dark or shadow related magic. They can control shadows to their will but without any shadow around to help them they beco utterly uselss.]
[Na: Dark summoner]
[Type: Unknown]
[Description: Dark summoner is one of the most grueso and powerful class, as one can use it’s powers to summon beings powerful enough to destroy kingdoms with just a flick of their fingers from the depths of the darkest purgatory.
But, everything cos with a cost.]
"Fucking hell... I am so confused. Which one of them should I pick ?" Leon asked as he placed both of his hands over his head and started thinking deeply.
[Warning: Less than 59 seconds left. Please select the clas or-]
Leon dismissed the warning imdiately and closed his eyes as he started thinking carefully.
’Puppet Master seems like a perfect choice as I can summon puppets and make them look like anyone I want. It can help in the politics but that is not enough.
Malice Embodint is also a good class... But taking it will be stupidity. Negative mana can only be found in grueso places and it’s weak without it. So that’s a no go for .
Shadow Revenant is a powerful class but I don’t want my powers completely to be dependent on shadows and I don’t want that.
That only leaves with one class... It doesn’t say much about the class but this description sure looks creepy. I really hope I am not making a mistake here.’ Leon thought as he opened his eyes and clicked on the last option without thinking much.
[Class change has been confird.]
[Estimated Ti : 5:59:59]
