《Curses》26. Second Times the charm
Advertisement
[CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE REACHED LEVEL TEN AND ARE READY TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP ON YOUR JOURNEY]
[PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR NEW CLASS]
[1. Student Curser - Start your path to power as a Curser - +2 INT per level, +1 Free stat per level - Curses are 10% more powerful]
[2. Student Bard - Start your path to power as a Bard - +1 DEX per level, +1 WIS per level, +1 Free stat per level - Bardic spells are 10% easier to cast]
[3. Lesser Cursed Bard - Your path is twisted by having a large talent into more than one path, though a force of will you try to merge them - +1 DEX per level, +1 INT per level, +1 Free stat per level - You can cast curses using Bardic methods]
[4. Cursed Winner - You’ve proven that you can beat the tower, but at what cost - +4 INT per level - You can cast curses of one tier higher]
[5. Pure magic genius - You’ve proven that almost no one can match you in any type of magic - +3 INT per level, +2 WIS per level - All spells cost 10% less mana]
Looking at the options numbers one and two are a nope. Number three is fine, just a nice mix of one and two. Four is a winner, pun intended, with +4 to INT per level I would be unstoppable. The downside of this Class was the lack of free stats. The real upside was the ability to cast curses of one tier higher. With that, I could literally be the best curser alive.
Number 5 though was legendary, I could be the best at every type of magic. If its first class ability is a flat 10% less mana to all spells, its next one would be amazing. The amount of mana that could be saved, was staggering. The effect would also stack with enchanted items and other skills.

Picking between [Cursed Winner] and [Pure magic genius] was an impossible challenge, but I decided on [Pure magic genius]. Just as I was going to pick it, a new one popped up.
[6. Path of the Immortal step one - You’ve embarked on the Path of the Immortal, even taking one step on the path marks your spot in history - +4 CON per level, +4 Free stats per level - You heal one health per second]
I chose [Pure magic genius]. I won’t walk that path ever again. I could only bear it last time because I couldn't change. Being immortal is a lonely broken path. Even with that kind of power, it wasn’t worth choosing. I won’t be alone again.
Then the class choice took control and I felt the power swim within me, changing me. After a minute it stopped and I opened up my stat screen.

Just as I was seeing my glorious stat sheet Tyler calls over to me. “Hey, I’ve got some weird classes. Here let me just show you.” A list of classes pops up in my view.

[1. Student Warrior - Start your path to power as a warrior - +1 STR per level, +1 CON per level, +1 Free point per level - 10% more health]
This one was expected given his current class and was a very standard one at that.
[2. Student Spellblade - Your path is twisted by having a large talent into more than one path, though a force of will you try to merge them - +1 STR per level, +1 INT per level, +1 Free point per level - Gain the ability to learn self-buff spells from skill pages]
This was the one that I hoped Tyler would get, but why did he say he got some weird ones?
[3. Follower of the Curse King - You follow in the footsteps of the Curse King - +3 Free point per level - Gain the ability to learn curses for skill pages]
This one was probably due to the system still recognizing my previous feats. Flattering but no thank you.
[4. Wake of the Giant first step - History will be shaped by your steps - +1 STR per level, +1 DEX per level, +2 CON per level - Gain skill {First Step of The Giant}]
I don’t think this class is talking about an actual giant as they are only on floors 70-79 but more of a historical giant like the founder of a nation. This is the confirmation I need to continue on my path. I am going to make history, again, and bring Tyler along. While I was ruminating over how awesome I am Tyler calls my name. “Earth to Zain,” I look at him, “Oh, there you are. Should I take the class? The giant one.” Tyler asks while looking at his screen.
“Absolutely you should, did you see those stats and you get a skill. I got 5 stats per level and I got it for being the best magic user ever. You should remember though that once you start that train stopping is ill-advised.”
“I’ll take that under consideration,” Tyler says before a golden light consumes him.
“Ah to be young,” I say to no one.
