When Jahi left the bathroom, I opened up my System and asked for a simplified summary of the experience gained through the last few days, not wanting the specifics...

[Xp gained : 1,209,836 via kills / assists]

[Xp gained : 100,000 via Quests]

[Sp gained : 1,250 via Quests]

[Level up!]

[Level 50 : 35,822 / 2,250,000]

A small smile graced my lips as I leaned against the counter, staring into the mirror and asking 'What's the option list this time? I am getting my second and final class, right?'

[Mhm. Wouldn't say final, since both Shadow Guard and whatever you pick can be further evolved, but... yes, technically this is your last 'option' in regards to this. And it's a little different from last time... again. You don't particularly rely on the System as much as you rely on yourself to get through any hardships. Perhaps you'd have been better off without a System at all, but we're here anyways, so we got to work together. On my end, I've done some more tweaking to the way everything works, and it should be a bit more 'you' oriented.]

'Me oriented? Isn't everything already 'me' oriented anyways? Besides, I personally don't think that I would be where I am currently without you... though I admit that things would've been different if you weren't as helpful of a System as you are, doing all the 'menial work' without my input...'

[Well, that makes me feel better, but still... Anyways, you are eligible for either a Class upgrade on your Shadow Guard Class or take an entirely new Class if you'd like. The changes that I mentioned, the 'tweaks' I made were to streamline what the Classes benefits give you, and I came up with something that I believe is far better than what was previously utilized. Let's go over that first, hmm?

Before, when you became a 'Shadow Guard', you received a set of daily quests to complete that awarded experience and shop points, meant to guide you down the course of enhancing the skills that worked hand in hand with that Class. Things that were done normally anyways and out of sight, out of mind. That's good and all, but it felt like the Class meant nothing, that it had no purpose at all. It did nothing for you past being a title and new way to get experience. 

So these new choices that are available for your Second Class are more specialized and more impactful, but due to being specializations, they aren't going to be as broad and helpful on everything. Again, they're specializations. They'll provide a way to increase your strength as long as you put in the effort in that one field. So instead of daily quests, level ups will be providing boosts to your stats and skills, as well as boosts to specific things... which you'll see when you peruse the options.]

I nodded, finding my curiosity piqued by the vague explanation given to me, though I was excited to see what I could get from this Second Class, be it just stat increases or something more lucrative like an increase to my skills or even a new skills, and that last part that suggested boosts past normal stat or skill increases was what really had my attention.

'So what's the list looking like?'

[Second Class options first.]

[Second Class, ranked based on Host's preferences and talents

<Devoted Supporter>

<Frost Witch>

<Succubus>

<Winter Sorceress>

<Serrated Seductress>

<Enchantress>

<Load More...>]

The six top Second Classes were quite the wide array of Classes, with a myriad of different uses that were quite attractive on their own, which would make this selection rather hard to make.

'First, what's the difference between <Frost Witch> and <Winter Sorceress>? Do they not encompass the same thing?'

[No, not really. <Frost Witch> is entirely based on your Ice Mana and - more specifically - making use of your [Frost of Despoina] skill to deal large amounts of damage and control crowds with your Ice, be it through cutting them down or just slowing them. <Winter Sorceress> does use your Ice Mana, but it focuses more on utilizing your Water and Wind Mana instead, like how you controlled the battlefield back on the Island.]

'Okay... that is different, albeit more of a situational basis since I use both equally... Which would provide more benefit..? Besides them, I notice that one of these is a repeat...'

[Ahem... Well, it's a rather diverse class that provides diverse benefits... that all stem from a single source. With the addition of Lust Mana - should you learn to use it - it could be a rather potent class, but... well, y'know what it'll require.]

'<Devoted Supporter> is a broad class too, no? Is that just because it 'specializes' in a specific school of magic like Support Magic and it offers little benefits for myself in specific?'

[Yes, so it's benefits are limited entirely towards supporting someone else and applying either buffs or debuffs for aid. Not towards yourself, since that's an obvious loophole. So again, you get a 'wide variety' of benefits, but its all in one single field of Magic, so...]

'Then there's <Serrated Seductress>, which is likely focused on blades and agility or dexterity, right? Something focused on using my melee weapons more effectively, and with the 'Serrated' keyword, I imagine it'd be a rather bloody affair, no?'

[Rather astute, aren't you? Yes, it's a Class focused on being elegant and 'seductive' with your melee prowess, with a sprinkling of something else perhaps~? It is a rather brutal class that was picked due to your... chaotic cravings. Attack focused and blade focused, it's entirely an offensive Class for you.]

'Then there is the <Enchantress> Class, which should be entirely geared for me to enhance and create incredible gear with more benefits... I would assume this would allow me to squeeze out the most amount of efficiency in my enchantments and allow me to fit more on a weapon or armor piece. It's not the flashiest or most impressive option, but in the long run it might be quite the pick...'

Drumming my fingers on the counter, I took a deep breath and began to dry myself off and get dressed, still mulling over the options that I had and trying to determine which one that I should pick.

Curiosity made me load a few more, though I couldn't find anything that caught my attention; I guess that's why the top six were the top six...

'The options are quite good, but I think I like these few more than the others, so which one should I choose..?'
