Chapter 3 Transcendent Level
This..... this is the character panel? !
Su An's heart shook, and in an instant, he recognized the source of the sound.
——It is actually a character panel that can only be owned by players!
I hit the pay dirt... Su An realized its importance.
The character panel meant that he would have control over his own growth.
If it was an ordinary player, there would be nothing special about the character panel. After all, it was something everyone had, but with Su An's transmigration experience, the result was completely different.
It was like an assault rifle, it was completely two concepts when it was in the hands of a child and a special soldier.
Of course......
First of all, Su An had to get out of the desperate situation at the moment, otherwise, no matter how great his potential was, it would be empty talk.
Boom!
Layers of ripples spread like a mirror, and when they touched Su An's eyebrows, everything before his eyes turned into an illusionary black curtain.
In the space covered by the illusionary black curtain, the ink-like darkness was rolling like waves with a few stars twinkling on it; so elusive that it was easy for claustrophobic people to fall into fear. Of course, this was also the reaction of normal people——
"Don't be nervous, this is how you step into the transcendental realm."
A faint hoarse voice came from a high place above, and Su An naturally recognized it. It was the voice of 'Codex of the Black Abyss', to be precise, it was the Lord of the Black Abyss behind the codex.
Regarding Class rituals, Su An was no stranger.
He even knew that high-ranking beings above the demigod would not limit their classes when giving class rituals. Instead, based on the recipient's talents, they would actively stimulate the soul of the person and help them choose the class that best suited them.
"In the field of transcender, the mainstream is divided into seven major classes..." Codex of the Black Abyss's voice came from above. "However, everyone’s soul compatibility is inherently predetermined. Later, there will be a Deed of Class that fits you, emerging from the nihility........ Touch it with your consciousness, then you can merge successfully and step into the transcendental realm.”
Su An nodded silently. What Codex of the Black Abyss said was the same as he knew.
The highest level of class rituals would actively engage with the recipient based on the soul compatibility of the recipient.
As for Normal Ritual, the result itself was fixed, and it would only emerge one designated deed. For example, in a normal mage ritual, the recipient could only become a mage, and there was no second possibility.
The two seem to be the same, but in fact they were quite different.
For the vast majority of people who stepped into the transcendent realm, when they used the 'Normal Ritual' with the help of the native forces, their own future directions were all arranged clearly.
But in fact, there were some people who were born to be mages, and some people were born to be warriors.
Everyone had their own suitable path and could not be generalized.
Moreover, the initial class was related to the individual's talent comprehension, if it was not suitable, it would be very disadvantageous in comprehending the talent.
Because of this, the most superior class ritual was very popular. In his previous life, Su An did not get the superior ritual. Although he was born in the Frigid Land of the North, he joined not the northern forces, but the 'Twilight Domain', a hidden organization lurking in the Frigid Land of the North.
——He used a Normal Ritual and eventually became a knight.
After all, only the demigod level or those who were close to the demigod realm could give superior rituals to the recipients.
In the early stages of the game, this was a level that was almost inaccessible to players. Until later, when high-level players finally had the capital to contact those who were at this level, they had already missed the golden development period; each of their strength had already taken shape, and the cost of reincarnation was too great. It was not worth it for them to start all over again.
Because of the difficulty, this ritual had another alias——
"Divine Ritual"
Right now, Su An was accepting Divine Ritual, which was a treatment he had never had in his previous life. It was considered a perfect start in the player community.
Just as Su An was thinking silently, suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked in a certain direction.
In the endless darkness, a few streams of light suddenly burst out. In the blink of an eye, they came to Su An. When the brilliance hidden on the object dissipated, they revealed their true appearance. What was strange was that, there was actually more than one thing-
There was an eye shrouded by gray mist...
There was an arrow feather that grew from plants, and the end of the feathers were glowing with a dark moon luster...
There was a long weapon that was constantly changing, which seemed to have life. It sometimes transformed into a sword and sometimes into a spear, or ashield.
There was a bizarre symmetrical coat of arms...
There was a contract scroll depicting everything, with a large number of cobweb-like threads exuding from it... There were a total of seven things, each gave off a strange feeling. If Su An stared at it for a long time, he would feel dizzy, and his ears would be ringing.
Looking at this scene, Su An's pupils contracted slightly, and he blurted out——
"Seven... Seven Deeds of Class?!"
How is this possible!
Almost subconsciously, Su An wanted to deny this possibility. As far as he knew, there was only one class choice for the recipients under "Divine Ritual", and what was placed in front of the recipient must be the most suitable class for the recipient among the seven classes.
Whether it was "Divine Ritual" or Normal Ritual, there was only one result.
There would be no second choice!
However, there were seven major deeds placed in front of Su An, which symbolized seven class directions. In other words, Su An could choose a class. This… this went against common sense. At least "Eternal Night" had been in operation for so many years, he had never heard of similar cases, even "Divine Ritual" couldn't do it. It was simply a fantasy!
"Why don't you merge the deed?"
"Hurry up, otherwise, your spiritual sea won't be able to hold on for too long..."
Above the infinite height, the voice of Codex of the Black Abyss suddenly came, with a bit of doubt in the tone.
Right! This is my spiritual sea, so it can’t see the specific situation...
Su An realised what happened. This was his spiritual sea, even if Codex of the Black Abyss was the guide of the whole ritual, it would not be able to see the specific details. It could only judge from Su An's external reaction whether he was fused with the deed. Of course, Su An's delay was indeed a little longer.
This was great news.
After all, Su An’s situation was too weird. There were seven kinds of deeds in the class ritual. If exposed, this was unprecedented news. It would definitely cause an uproar. It would attract the attention of everyone in a high position in the world of Eternal Night.
Moreover, he himself was not native to this world, attention was a very dangerous thing.
In order to prevent Codex of the Black Abyss from getting suspicious, Su An had to choose as soon as possible...
"Which one should I choose?" Su An looked forward, there were seven deeds floating quietly.
At this moment, Su An was facing a major decision that would affect his life.
There had never been a player who could freely choose the Deed of Class like him.
Su An's gaze moved, and quickly, a deed of an eye shrouded by gray mist came into his sight quietly.
Taking a closer look, in this eye, there were mottled frost specks near the pupil, as well as the chaotic mist of distorted void. In addition, the indistinct threads of order. In the mystics of the world of eternal night, this pattern was called the ‘Eye of Kalpa'. It was an essential symbol of a transcendental class, and the deed could represent the entire class.
——This class was called Herrscher.
If he needed to choose a class that would have the most benefits in the Frigid Land of the North, there was no doubt that it was definitely a Herrscher class. In private, players called this class "priest". In the north, where there were sacrificial customs and the god of winter, the Herrscher class had great advantage.
To describe it in game terms, it could be understood that there was a buff effect on a Herrscher, and the power of the skills would be increased...
After hesitating for a moment, Su An retracted his gaze and looked upward without reluctance.
The long weapon that was constantly changing, the arrow feather glowing with dark moon luster, and the copper hammer covered with bloody meridians... His gaze passed one by one, and finally, his gaze was fixed in the center on a bizarre symmetrical coat of arms.
As if the coat of arms seemed to have detected Su An’s gaze, it actively floated closer, so that Su An could see the details on it.
On the left and right sides of the bizarre coat of arms, there were mysterious elements. On the left side was a dark night, quietly surging like dark waves, seemingly able to swallow all lives, and on the right side was the shining sun, shining brightly and overflowing with scorching heat.
Looking at the familiar deed, Su An took a deep breath.
——This was the "Knight" Class.
Regarding the two mysterious elements on the both sides of the coat of arms, they were the two major branches of the knight class.
[Night] and [Sun].
Su An considered it for a long time and chose the knight class, the class he used to play, It was mainly for one reason.
He was not sure if his own situation could still be regarded as a 'Divine Ritual'?
After all, no one had ever been able to activate the seven deeds of class on Divine Ritual. Logically speaking, the deeds provided by the Divine Ritual were the most suitable for him... But Su An was not sure if he chose other deeds, he would be compatible with other deeds.
What if it was not compatible?
If he chose the knight deed, at least, he had the experience of playing the same class and was sure that he would reach the peak that a player could reach.
He might even touch the unreachable level, the level of gods.
Another point was that the class of the Herrscher was more dominant in the Frigid Land of the North, but in other regions, especially in the 'Twilight Domain', there was no advantage. On the contrary, they would lose the advantage of ‘rules’, and when competing at the same level, they were often at a disadvantage.
"It seems that I will become a knight again..."
As Su An thought, he stretched out his palm and touched the bizarre coat of arms in front of him.
In the course of this move, Su An deliberately bypassed the sun on the right. When he touched the night, the tide of darkness surged out, which instantly swallowed his spiritual consciousness. Simultaneously, Su An also heard a voice in his ears--
[Notice: You've successfully advanced to the main class - Knight]
[Notice: You have activated the night branch. Activating the class talent tree. Selecting talents...]
Su An opened his eyes again and came out from the spiritual sea.
The cold wind of silent night was still whistling in his ears, and when he looked up, it was still an iron cage moving in the snowy field.
Only the lantern above, quietly releasing dim yellow lights, everything seemed like a dream.
Right before him, a pair of eyes gazed at him. It proved that it was not illusory. At this moment, he had accepted Divine Ritual and successfully become a transcender!
Su An felt the tingling pain on the back of his hand. He looked down, noticing that traces of bright red emerged, and a coat of arms was outlined on the back of his right hand. It had the ring-shaped 'soul pedestal' as the bottom; its left and right sides were the perfectly symmetrical 'hand of truth', this was the deed of the knight class.
It was different from the appearance seen in the spiritual sea. This time, there was no more sun and night on the periphery of the knight's deed, only a faint gray mist, which disappeared in a flash.
——This was Soul Pattern.
Su An understood in his heart that every successful transcender would have a Soul Pattern on the back of their right hand, which was consistent with the deed of class.
It was not only their identity certificate, but also a medium for transcender to use their power. At the same time, aboriginal people also used the appearance of Soul Pattern to judge their own status. This was the common sense of every transcender.
However, Su An was different from them.
With the character panel, he had another way to determine his own status——
"Panel!"
Su An called out in his heart, the next moment, a bright blue appeared in his vision, depicting his personal panel,
[Sulman Stuart]
General level: Lv1
Health: 86% (Slightly Bruised)
Personal attributes: Strength 5, Agility 7, Physique 4, Mystery 6, Perception 5, Luck 1 (No points can be added / Normal people's lucky range 0-3 points)
Potential point: 1 point
Main class: Dark Knight (Lv1)
Secondary class: None
Realm: First stage (Transcendental realm)
Skills: [Touch of Evil Lv1]——Your attack will be accompanied by 'corrosion' power. The power depends on the spiritual value you inject. If there is a one-time injection of more than 50% spirituality, it can form a Disaster Smite, the explosive power rises to 200% + mystery attribute x 2 points.
Talent Specialty:
[Dark Vision]——You have night vision ability in the dark, and your vision +3.
[Shadow Clone]——Natural shadow controller, your shadow can replace your body to take the damage, and the health points are equal to 70% of the physical attributes.
[End of Dream]——You have the ability to sneak into the dreams of the dead.
================
The attributes on the character panel were easy to understand. Like most online game settings: strength, agility, physique… These were the basic attributes of the character, which were directly linked to the individual's combat effectiveness.
Potential points could be added to the above attributes. They were very rare and could only be obtained by leveling up.
General level was essentially the character level, which depended on the combination of the main class and the secondary class. In addition, the realm was an important criterion for judging personal combat power. In most cases, comparing the realm was more reliable than comparing the general level.
It was worth mentioning that the talent specialties on the character panel were quite special. They were extremely rare abilities, and their influence on combat effectiveness was far greater than skills. Moreover, they were often prerequisites for learning skills. In the "Eternal Night" system, the learning conditions for different skills not only depend on their own class, but also related to their talent specialties.
"Three… three talent specialties?!"
Su An was shocked.
