Chapter 6 - What Is Special?
Written By Curiostyx
"I choose... Helheim" I stated then clicked the Helheim option.
One might be confused as to why an Angel would want to be in Helheim, but choosing the Realm of the Dead as a Holy Being had many advantages.
Asgard was 𝘵𝘩𝘦 World for 'Good' beings, It had many advantages for those with Positive affinities but the problem came with the fact that most residents of Asgard were in fact, Holy.
The Mobs were holy.
I was an Angel, an Exterminator of Fiendish Creatures, so Worlds like Muspelheim and Niflheim were also viable options. But True Demons were very dangerous. After all, Holy and Curse were the direct opposition to one another.
The attacks of a Holy Creature were super-effective against Curse creatures, but the opposite was also true!
Holy was super-effective against Death, but Death did not possess any advantages over Holy. Which made Undead the perfect Mobs for Angel Players.
So with my logic out of the way, I clicked the Helheim icon.
A flash filled the screen as everything became dark.
Then my Avatar's eyes opened as I found myself transported into a new strange world.
[Welcome to Helheim, The Realm of The Dead]
The scenery of which I beheld was truly out of the world. I stood in the middle of what seemed to be a deep cavernous ravine filled with strange blue fog that covered the horizon like an ancient Arabic Harem Girl's veil.
I could hear some low rumbling sounds from the depths as the various dusty molecules of the Realm got swept up by the cool breeze.
Not that I could actually feel what the air was like. The Technology wasn't 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 advanced.
"My God, how did the Devs create something like this?" I asked out loud.
Helheim was breathtaking-No, It was bone-chilling. It was a land of no joy as life could not possibly prosper in World like this. The screams of the damned could be heard as their wails resounded through the valley.
A River stream of mysterious bioluminescent liquid flowed in the valley. Opposite to Normal Rivers which grant life its abundance, this River drained all color from the surroundings, greedily devouring them for itself.
In the vast distance, the misty smog that covered the sky rained an acidic green substance. If rain was a sign of prosperity in other Worlds, then it was a sign of calamity in this one.
It was a place that no Angel belonged to, yet I stand here as an Angel dressed in black, ready to exterminate all those who despoil the sanctity of life.
I quickly got done admiring the surroundings and opened the menu.

I clicked STATS for the very first time as another screen replaced its predecessor.

"What does Special even mean?" I wondered.
After examining my Stat Sheet further, I realized that certain stats were higher than others, Special was one of them. I concluded that this was probably because of some kind of Racial Bonus, but it still didn't let me figure out what Special actually was.
For the bonuses, it made sense that Angels would have high Magic Defense. We were the opposition to Witchcraft, after all. It also made sense that Physical Attack would be high, If I remembered correctly, Odin said that Angels were a race of Warriors.
But what the fuck was Special, and why would Angels be naturally good at it?
This warranted further research
After I was done with that affair, I opened my Skills sheet.

"Dang, I don't have any spells... Makes sense, I guess" I muttered.
It was quite a shame that as Angel with the Class of Holy Knight, I started with exactly zero Spells.
I then checked my inventory to see if anything remained from the tutorial.
//
Inventory:
-Rusty Sword (Equipped)
-Rusty Shield (Equipped)
-Moldy Bread 10x
-Healing Sap 5x
-Odin's Note
-Odin's Gift
//
The Moldy Bread and Healing Sap were most likely healing items given freely to the newbies, so I didn't bother checking them out. Instead, I clicked both Odin's Note and Odin's Gift, wondering what exactly they were.
Instantly, a Scroll and a Box appeared in my arms.
I decided to check out the note first, opening it.

My Dearest Companion.
Tis I, Odin the Great! I knew you were tired after the battle... In fact, you fell asleep! So as a kind gesture, I gave you some of the leftover rations from the ship alongside some basic gear to start you off on your grand journey.
Unfortunately, I could not hope to accompany you on your grand journey as I have some very important matters to attend to here in Asgard. So I simply left you at the destination you desired.
Truly, I did not expect that you would choose to travel to the Realm of Hel herself... After all, you are no loathsome Undead nor are you a Fiend... Rather you are very far from those definitions with those cool wings of yours... Damn, I wish 𝘐 had wings.
Nevertheless, I would not judge your choice... Except I totally would. Helheim is no place for a Celestial, so It is best that you find the exit door as quickly as possible... Less you find the attraction of the Queen in Black herself!
Well, I also gave you a gift... I made sure to tailor it specifically to your liking. Your class's liking, that is.
That's it for my note. Goodbye, dear Angel... I do hope we meet again someday.
Sincerely, The All-Father.

"Huh"
"What a weird guy... The Shitty Devs must have gotten the idea for his personality by looking at the mirror" I commented.
"At least he gave me this box... What is it anyway?" I muttered as I opened the damned box.
Inside was...
"WHAT IN THE HOLY HAND GRENADE IS THIS!?" I shouted.

What could it be, guys? 🤔
