Child of Destiny

Chapter 884 David's Special Class (Part 2)

...

David was originally interested in playing «Destiny's Fate» since his master keep on giving him missions out of nowhere. And he needed to take care of them as soon as possible to avoid getting punished by her.

Moreover, after roaming around the world and challenging all of the geniuses of different houses and organizations, he already lost the thrill of playing the game.

He also could fight some of the old experts who had a similar level of strength as him. Even if they were already surpassed by a lot of talented individuals, their experiences were still there, which made them formidable opponents. He could even learn a lot from them.

This was why David loved to roam around, not only he was experiencing the thrill of battle, but he was also learning a lot of things during his journey.

But after he did some research on the current state of the gaming world, David realized how much it changed. A lot of talented individuals started to pop out, some of his past rivals even became stronger, and most of all, the current Powerhouse Guilds and Organizations also became much stronger and larger than what he remembered.

Then he proceeded to the current rankings. Not all of them were as impressive as he imagined and some of the guys that he knew were already not in there, but after learning about the Secret Ranking List from his old friend, he realized that this current virtual game was completely different than the ones that he played.

When he logged in to the game, he also found some interesting things, like the freedom of creating a couple of skills. The self-created skills, fusion skills, and class fighting styles completely caught his attention.

He wanted to create his own set of skills but after learning that there was a limit on it, he decided to delay it for the time being.

What troubled him was how he was going to choose a class. After skimming through the basic ones that were available, the only class that caught his attention was the Shaman of the Beastmen Race and the Summoner Class of the Human Race. But they were not that appealing enough to his eyes.

He also knew about the existence of the so-called Hidden and Special Class, as well as the Transcendent and Greater Races. But he didn't put much hope in it since it involved too much luck to stumble upon them.

After careful thinking, David decided to choose the boring Human Race. It was not because he had a special reason or something, but it was just the most flexible race out of the ones that he could choose.

After choosing the race was the designated region where he was going to be 'born'. He already planned out how he was going to catch up with the leading players, so he quickly chose the lawless area where Dark Players ruled.

...

Despite not playing the game for a long time, he still had a lot of contacts within the virtual world. He might have had a lot of enemies during his time playing the games, but he also created quite a number of friends during those times.

After contacting them, he learned that an Underground Arena actually exists. It was similar to the ones in the real world where the spectators and the participants could bet almost anything.

That kind of setting was perfect for David which was why he chose the lawless region, making it easier for him to enter that arena.

The mode he chose was obviously 'Winner-takes-it-all'. A mode, as its name suggested, where he could get everything from his opponents. Whether it was equipment, skills, achievements, titles, and most importantly, their levels and experience points.

David met quite a lot of interesting individuals during his time in the Underground Arena and he also got a lot of skill books during the process. And since he didn't have a class when he joined in, he could learn all of the unrestricted skill books from the spoils that he received as long as he met the stat requirements for them.

The interesting part was he reached the point where no one dared to fight him anymore, forcing him to hop on a different arena. But it also didn't take long for the next few arenas to refuse to register him.

Fortunately, he already reached his desired level when it happened. Then he sold almost all of the materials, equipment, skill books, and class conversion tomes that he got from his battles. He already got the ones that wanted, so he didn't have any use for the others aside from turning them into gold.

But the most satisfying thing that he got from his 'grinding' in the Underground Arena was the class that received after going through everything.

His main class was a self-created one. No one heard or even knew that it was possible but he indeed achieved it and the system granted it to him.

After every battle, David would choose a skill to his liking. And most of the skills that he chose were from Shamans, Summoners, and other related classes. There were also a couple of skills from different mage-related classes such as Human Wizards and Elven Elementalist, some even came from Dark Mages.

What David really about those skills was their similarities to the Mentalism Arts in the real world, especially the Shaman and Elementalist Classes.

He could also imitate some of his real-world techniques in the game just as talisman attacks and formations, as well as rune magic and enhancements.

And since it was a self-created class, he could name it. He didn't even bother to think too deeply about it and quickly name the class Mentalist.

As for the Secondary Class that he got. It was a class that was granted by the system after he won all of the battles in the Underground Arena.

The class was called Gladiator. It was a hidden-special class, but it was not that rare since there were quite a lot of players who also had it in the Underground Arena. What this especially was the title that he got alongside it, the Champion Title.

This particular title could only be achieved after winning a hundred consecutive battles. And his opponents should either be on the same level as him or higher.

The Champion Title made his Gladiator Secondary Class much stronger. It granted him a massive buff on his melee skills and even granted him the ability to use all types of weapons.

It was also not affected by the restrictions on the skills that he wanted to learn. As long as he met the required stats of the skill, he could learn it regardless of which class it belonged to.

...

With such overpowered classes, David could be ranked as one of the most powerful players once again. But what depressed him the most was the fact that he couldn't find a suitable opponent to test those skills out. He couldn't learn its limits nor find its weakness.

Shiella, as Snow White, the Frost Goddess, was one of the candidates that could possibly match him. There was also Cold Moon, the Goddess of the Drifting Night. But both of them were heads of their respective organizations, one was the Guild Leader of the Hand of Midas while the other was the Union Head of the Assassin Union.

Both of them were too busy with their respective obligations and didn't have the time to deal with him.

As for the current Titled Rankers and Godlike Players, David didn't think too much about them as they were too low compared to his desired standards. Even dealing with the Messengers of the Corrupted Cult that he faced previously was just child's play in his eyes.

But at this point, he now had a chance to properly test his limits. This was the reason why he drew a circle on the ground despite facing an old rival.

Pogo, the Killer Clown, belonged to the group of players that he acknowledged, so he took this opportunity to hone his skills and tried to see where he currently stood compared to them.

Fortunately, he managed to quickly adjust after their previous 'warm-up'. And he continued to grow after fighting against Pogo.

The current state of his battle couldn't be compared to the previous one they had. The scale of destruction was way larger compared to it.

Numerous trees had fallen during their battle, and even the group watching them was forced to move away, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire.

Pogo controlled his chained sickles perfectly and they covered a large area, limiting the choices that David had when dealing with them.

But not of them managed to work since David's skills and talisman spells were also not simple. All of his defensive skills were had to crack much while the offensive ones were very powerful.

At times, the two of them were also engaging in a melee battle.

Pogo thought that he could at least overwhelm David with his melee skills since ranged attacks were pretty much ineffective.

Since David was mostly using range and large-scale spells, Pogo thought he had the edge when they fought in close-combat-quarters, but little did he know that such a battle was more favorable to David.

David's melee skills were not as flashy as the ranged ones that he had, but their power and utility were not inferior in comparison.

In fact, David was much harder to deal with when it came to the melee battle. This threw Pogo into a difficult predicament.

He realized that he would not be able to defeat David if he didn't show all of his cards. "You really are still the same! I guess I have to give everything I have now!"

After saying that, he quickly created a distance between himself and his opponent before stabbing his sickles in his chest.

David suddenly frowned deeply when he saw that, sensing an immense danger. But he knew that it was already too late for him to stop it now, so he could only set up his defense and fortify, preparing for what was about to come.
