Chapter 5: The Classes

After understanding the situation around this world, Stark immediately went to learn about the classes and powers that were available.

Instead of the normal stuff where everyone could get their own skills and improve depending on what they choose to persue, this world was extremely different from the rest.

Basically: there are 10 classes, and chosen individuals gets placed into one of them (or none if they don't meet the requirements), thus determining their abilities and destiny.

The classes are the same for everybody, but it is the inner talent and skills that make the difference.

Stark read more about these classes, and as he absorbed the information, he understood more and more why Stark's family seemed to judge him as incompetent.

Most of the population don't unlock a class as it is something rare and for powerful individuals, but his family seemed to be one of 'soul wielders', while on the otherhand he was just one of the 'people'.

In this world, most people dream to get a class and become 'Classifiers', which is the name for people who fight monsters and have powers.

And the ten classes of this world are…

[Magus:] master magicians with the power to control elements and cast powerful spells, the spells can be extremely different between each individual, making everyone unique in their own way.

[Exorcist:] specialists in banishing evil/cursed spirits and curses, possessing abilities to purify their surroundings and protect others from malevolent forces (mainly fight demons and use divine power).

[Beast Tamer:] able to summon and control beasts, both magical and mundane, they can create alliances with these creatures to aid in battle and exploration, the more powerful their beasts, the more powerful the tamer is.

[Warrior:] One of the most common classes people get, but still a fairly powerful one as they possess incredible physical strength, durability, and combat skills. They specialize in close-quarters combat and have a wide variety of melee techniques at their disposal.

[Assassin:] Skilled in stealth, sabotage, and assassination, they are masters of the shadows and can slip past guards undetected, silently eliminating their targets with a deadly precision.

[Archer:] Specializing in the use of ranged weapons, primarily bows and arrows, they possess a high degree of accuracy and can strike from a distance with lethal force (strangely enough, apparently some of them use their abilities on guns).

[Soul Wielder:] Ability to summon the power of your soul and materialize your heart in front of you, your abilities depend on your heart and willpower, it is one of the most mysterious classes and also one of the rarest ones.

[Alchemist:] Able to create potions with different effects, they can both sell them or use them in battle to support others or themselves, potion effects can vary from individual to individual, allowing Alchemists to even fight in close-ranged combats with the right potions and ingredients.

[Succubus/Incubus:] Control the desires of others through their charm and allure, they can drain energy from their victims through physical contact, although most people in this class use it for sex work and to enjoy a luxurious life since they are the most demanded people in dating/mariage.

[???:] The last and final class has almost no information because of how rare it is, people who have it do not showcase its powers, the rarest class of them all.

'Yo, can I get the incubus class?' Stark asked, it would be really great if he could enjoy himself.

But of course, he got no response, taking it as a 'no'.

During his entire stay in the library, Stark felt the stare of the blonde-haired girl on him as she would steal quick glances at him every few seconds under her book, then would act as if nothing was wrong when he turned his eyes toward her.

'Welp, there's also that 'Class Showcase' thing that's coming up, really annoying and dangerous…'

Many people would die during that event since they only wanted the 'best of the best' to be picked, but Stark had just come to this world and had no class, meaning he was probably at the top of the 'about to die' list.

'I can always ditch it anyway,' he shrugged, although it would become difficult to find a place in this unknown world after.

And as for how the event would go… well… he would need to see by himself during this fateful day.

'Well, I guess that's it for today,' he sighed and got up from his seat.

Noticing that the blonde-haired girl was still staring at him, he just smiled and headed toward the exit door.

He didn't know his relationship with her, so he didn't take any risks, being friendly wouldn't advantage him anyway, not after being almost killed and kicked out by his family from their home.

"Goodbye," he still spoke as to be respectful and then left.

Stark found a hotel nearby afterward, and thanks to the credit card he had, he was able to pay a room for the next few days, although he would need to pay them back at some point.

He didn't waste time as he got in his room and immediately went to bed, not even bothering to change as he didn't have any other clothes beside his uniform.

Stark was dropped to the bottom, classless, with no friends or allies, and now he would have to build himself back up.

"Yawn~" he stared at the ceiling of his pitch black room, and slightly smiled, "I guess i'll figure it out somehow…"

This was how his first day in this new world went, and although he had only found the most basic of information and still had no power (because Rher was a narcissistic greedy bitch, I mean, the guy has the world based on his name), he was still confident in his abilities.

***

(The next day)

When the sun began to appear in the sky, Stark opened his eyes.

Although the 'Class Showcase' was tomorrow, he still needed to attend class apparently, it would help him pass the time and gather more info anyway, so he didn't care.

He took a shower and then wore back the same uniform while leaving his room, he didn't have a backpack, but honestly who cares.

[Skill: Class Wheel]

[Type:] Chosen One (locked)

[Description:] ???

He inspected that panel while taking the walk to the school, but found nothing that indicated any way to unlock it, maybe it would come out later.

On the way to 'Lotus' Academy, he noticed many other people wearing the same uniform as him, although most of them either ignored his presence or when they looked at him had uncomfortable looks on their faces.

He entered the school but had a hard time finding his class (it took him one failed attempt for a teacher to tell him), and then he finally reached it.

-Class 3A-

The door was opened as people were still entering, and so he did just like them.

But when he took the first step inside the class…

All eyes fell on him.

"Holy shit…"

"He showed himself again?"

"Does he have a death wish?"

Such were the whispers that filled the room as Stark walked in.

But even in his past life, he wasn't the type to care about such things, so instead he just took a seat at back and glanced at the outside world from the window.

And thus, his first day of class started.

[Countdown before the 'Class Showcase: 1 day]


Chapter 6: Duel Request

As Stark sat in the classroom, trying to focus on the lesson being taught, he couldn't help but feel the weight of everyone's gaze on him.

It was clear that his arrival had stirred up some kind of reaction among his classmates as most of them had seen the video that was going around the internet of him tricking the other guy into falling off a building.

And after an hour of boring lessons he tried his hardest to listen to…

~SLAM~

The door of the classroom opened, and three guys entered it as if they were the kings.

Stark immediately noticed that one of the boys, who was also the leader, was the tanned blond-haired man he had tricked yesterday.

"Daniel, I won't allow you to cause havoc in my class," the teacher, a man in his mid-forties, who also looked used to this types of scenes, retorted.

But Daniel brushed him off, pointing his hand at Stark, "You, me, at the back of the school right after class ends, i'm finally going to end your pathetic life, you parasite."

"Holy shit… Daniel actually asked for a duel…?"

"Doesn't it mean he is gonna kill him?"

"I want to see that…!"

It seemed like people were excited to see the fight, and looking at Daniel's expression, it looked like he was ready to kill, his powers and family influence probably enough to let him get away with that.

But Stark wasn't impressed.

'Since when do tutorial bosses get second phases…' he sighed.

And without even taking the time to let him answer, Daniel and his little gang left as it wasn't their classroom.

'This guy was massively injured yesterday, and now he is back as if nothing happened… I guess there must be some powerful healers huh…'

The class continued for the rest of the day, but nobody could really focus as all they were waiting for was the upcoming confrontation where Daniel would decimate Stark.

Surprisingly, Stark was the only one that didn't look bothered by this at all, almost as if he didn't care.

And he actually didn't.

As the bell rang for the end of the day, the students began to file out of the classroom, chattering about the upcoming duel between Stark and Daniel.

It was the talk of the school.

"Yawn~" the black-haired boy in question slowly left the classroom too and then followed the crowd toward the back of the school, wanting to just win this fight and get this over with.

[Are you this confident you could win?]

This panel appeared before him, and he stopped for a few seconds to read it.

"Yeah," he replied before resuming to walk.

[Hm… Why are you this confident?]

"I don't know, I just am somehow, tutorials aren't that hard you know."

[It's not a- you know what, forget about it]

And then it disappeared.

Stark took the exit door then headed toward the courtyard, which was the 'back of the school' he guessed.

It was a massive open area surrounded by other middle-sized buildings, filled with benches and trees.

There were also many terrains used for different activities, but mainly for student fighting as it was part of the curriculum for them to train and improve their classes.

As he walked across it, he spotted Daniel and his gang waiting for him near the edge of a field, surrounded by at least two hundred students, and even some teachers.

Stark approached them, and noticing his presence, the students made way for him, then shortly closed the circle afterward, stopping a few feet away.

Daniel, the blond-haired boy, looked at Stark with a sneer, "So you actually came. Looks like I'll be entertaining myself today."

Stark raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Well, if we're going to do this, let's get it over with."

Sensing that this wouldn't lead to anything good, one of the teachers, a woman with brown hair that reached her waist and a very voluptuous body put herself between the two boys.

"There is no need to continue this charade, just forget about it and go back home," she shouted, mainly glancing at Stark as she was sure he would lose.

But Daniel didn't care about any of this, and instead he mumbled, "Duel request: Stark."

After whispering those words, a crimson panel appeared in front of Stark.

[Duel Request: Daniel]

[Type: Deathless]

[Y/N]

With a smirk on his face, Stark looked at the panel before responding, "Y."

Immediately, the panel vanished, and the students surrounding them fell silent.

The teacher, who was in the middle of the two boys, was ejected out of their circle in full force, then landed on the ground a few meters away.

A giant sphere had formed around Daniel and Stark: this was the arena of the duel, and nobody would be able to disturb them in there.

'Very game like, I wonder just how many more things like this will come up,' Stark scratched his chin.

[Commentary from Rher: My guy, aren't you scared? You have no class and your stats are much weaker…?]

'Nah, i'd win, plus i'm sure you wouldn't let me just die like this, would you?' he grinned.

[…Yeah]

A countdown then appeared above their 'arena'.

[5…4…3…2…1…]

[GO!]

And right at the countdown ended, Stark got two notifications.

~Ding~

~Ding~

[New Skill: Perception]

[Type:] Passive Skill

[Level:] Cannot be upgraded since it is not combat related.

[Description:] This skill is always active, and allows the user to check the name, level, class, attributes and skills of the person in front of them (also items).

'Nice,' Stark didn't waste time and immediately used it to check Daniel.

[Name: Daniel Pridel]

[Level: 12]

[Class: Warrior]

[HP: 1250]

[Strength: 42]

[Speed: 27]

[Stamina: 64]

[Defense: 107]

[Skills: Strike; Force; Buff…]

'Okay… he is definitely way stronger than me…' Stark was actually surprised the difference was this blatant.

But before Stark could even check out the second notification he had gotten, Daniel summoned his steel sword from thin air then dashed toward him.

Seeing him come at him at full speed, Stark realized he wouldn't be able to avoid it like he did last time.

'I have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment,' he was mainly speaking to Rher while smirking.

[Do not fret, everything will be fine]

~SLASH~

Daniel used [Strike] and hit Stark in the stomach, causing him 374 points of damage, which was way more than his measly 10HP.
