Transmigrating to Modern Earth from the Future

Chapter 12: Class selection

"My name is Lumen, age 30 from Madagascar. Only a useless superpower." Lumen lied about his age so that he would fit in with the group and didn't get too specific about anything else.

Soon everyone got to know each other's names and could all be said to now be on a first name basis. Everyone began speaking over each other, all expressing their confusion about their situation and asking each other what kind of questions they asked the system in the introduction, but some were more confused than others.

Lumen simply stood back as he tried to internally grasp the situation while, of course, listening in on other's conversations, chiming in with a few words of his own every once in a while. After the initial panic and confusion settles, each of them calmed down and started to assess their new reality.

From what he could gather from their conversations, it seemed that each person was transported to their own respective introductory room and had gone through the exact same ordeal as Lumen had. However Lumen did manage to gather that it seemed he was the only person who had access to the full system before being transported to this place.

Each person was not exactly wearing suitable clothes for survival, especially Qu Quan as she seemed to be wearing a short t-shirt with a skirt to offer her no protection at all against the elements.

It seemed that Will had been somewhat more prepared and more thoughtful than the others as he arrived with some survival gear on him, even having a survival knife hanging from his waist with many other trinkets and tools on his belt.

Jake was relatively normal as he was wearing his work clothes, hence having his name badge on display, with a large winter coat covering up most of it as it seemed he lived in a colder part of the US.

Lumen stood out the most though as he wore what could only be described as his clothes were all camouflage and to his luck, he still had a knife on his waist just like will as it seemed the system wouldn't be so unfair as to take that away from him along with the rest of his inventory.

Shivi just wore some average clothes that were neither suitable nor unsuitable for survival as they only provided mild protection and didn't cover everything.

In the end it was decided that Jake would lend his big winter coat to Qu Quan to her many thanks for her to cover up a little bit for now.

Once the topic of clothes was over, they started talking about skills, or more specifically the skill that everyone had received at the beginning of the tutorial, the 'Akashic Languages' skill. Although the description seemingly told them all there was to know about it, they discussed how magical this skill was to allow them to easily communicate with each other, as it seemed that even if they spoke in Chinese, for those that spoke English, her mouth movements matched that of English speaking words. This was truly out of this world to them!

However before they could begin discussing about another topic, a new notification came to each of them simultaneously from the system.

[Ding! Class Selection has begun]

In front of each person there was now a new system panel, this one a little different from the ones they had already received.

Lumen studied his panel carefully as this was clearly a big decision that would affect his future greatly.

[Please select your starting class. This will have effects on your future growth and will narrow down your options for growth.

1. Light Warrior - Basic starting class. Focused on quick attacks, evasion and agility. While faster than a heavy warrior, it comes with a trade-off with a decrease in strength in exchange for increased agility. Main weapons include Short swords, daggers, hatchets, throwing weapons. Stat bonuses per level: +3 Agility, +3 Stamina, +1 Strength, +1 Endurance, +1 Unallocated stat.

2. Heavy Warrior - Basic starting class. Focused on power and defence while taking a trade-off with a decrease in agility and ranged attacks and an increase in strength and stamina. A heavy warrior is slower than a light warrior but comes with the added increase in great power and defence. Main weapons include one handed sword and shield combo, 2 handed long sword, tower shield. Stat bonuses per level: +3 Strength, +2 Endurance, +2 Stamina, +1 agility, +1 Unallocated stat.

3. Archer - Basic starting class. Ranged combat focused, an archer mainly uses bows and crossbows, coupled with a dagger for emergency close combat situations. This class is flexible, fast and highly perceptive allowing for the host to more easily spot prey from longer distances. Stat bonuses per level: +2 Agility, +2 Perception, +1 Strength, +1 Endurance, +1 Unallocated stat.

4. Mage - Basic starting class. A magical combat focused class, can be focused on either close or ranged combat depending on spell usage. This class favours brains over brawn and so can be lacking in defence in exchange for powerful destructive magic. This class can be used without the usage of any weapons, however external tools such as wands or staffs can be used to amplify power. Stat bonuses per level: +4 Intelligence, +4 Wisdom, +1 Unallocated stat.]

These were the four basic classes currently available to every newbie in the tutorial. Lumen was currently contemplating over which one he should choose. Logic determined that with his current stats he would benefit mostly from choosing either of the warrior options, with his current highest stats being his four physical stats.

All classes were 'basic starting classes' meaning no class was better than the other. At least not yet. He also noted that each class added a boost of 9 total stat points on top of the +3 to all stats one would receive per level up. Compared to the basic level up, these classes provided a more specialised selection of stats.

Lumen was still considering which class to choose and he noticed that a few of the others around him had already done so, with the system being generous enough to give them the starting equipment needed for their class.

He was about to choose a light warrior as his class until...

[Ding! Abnormal stat values detected.....]

[You have met the requirements, hidden class 'Spear Magister' is available as a fifth option.]
