Zarian twisted his body left and right on his throne after sitting there for over twenty-four hours. He blinked up at the sunrise of a new day, his daughter coming around with another round of meals and drinks.
He smiled at her, and she smiled back as she handed him some piping hot and tasty cooking. Then Zarian glanced at the others. They looked as ready to move on as he felt.
It had taken all day and the night to decide on the top five picks for each reselection for the Second Class Advancement.
Zarian had it easier with narrowing his choices from the thousands offered. Anything that sounded bad ass and fitting while having the highest quality entered the final five choices.
There weren’t that many high quality and bad ass choices, anyway. He had a slush pile of choices that ranged from legendary down to even common.
As for Hannah, she had a wide range of solid choices that centered on enchantments, engineering, and other themes that bordered that. The problem with Hannah was her meticulous nature, which made things tedious after a while. It was because of her the Floridians had debated from day to night and now faced a new morning.
Naomi’s choices were … poorer, unfortunately.
She was handling it well enough, but it became uncomfortable for the Floridians and their goblin cook at times. Naomi hadn’t gotten the high quality choices she’d deserved.
The Star System didn’t bother explaining itself. Their current reasons for Naomi’s misfortune stood soundly. She’d started one quality behind the others, and that cursed start continued to follow her.
Zarian devoured the spicy eggs the quickest. He chugged from a mug of pulped juice before setting it down on his armrest and sighing pleasantly as he lounged deeper into his parasite throne.Once the others finished, he waved his hand at Hannah as her cue to go. She was still acting wishy-washy, though.
Hannah stood in front of a work bench while tinkering with multiple minor projects, some of which with pure abilities. She frowned at the enchanted knife in her hand before dissolving it and restarting from scratch.
Finally, she sighed and looked up at the message box that displayed her options. Zarian and the others did the same.
<Hannah’s Second Class Advancement Reselection.>
<Golem Generator (Mythical): This class comes with four epic traits and 2 skills of your choice. It offers an additional +4 Wonder per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>
<Wartech Developer (Mythical): This class comes with 2 legendary traits and 2 skills of your choice. It offers an additional +2 Willpower and +2 Mysticism per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>
<Runic Artificer (Mythical): This class comes with 1 mythical trait. It offers an additional +1 Willpower, +1 Wonder, and +2 Mysticism per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>

It offers 1 legendary trait, one epic trait, a skill of your choice, and additional stats: +1 Willpower, +3 Mysticism per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>
Zarian could see why Hannah struggled. Some of these options could lead her down a speciality she would enjoy.
She could focus more on the golem aspect. Or she could focus more on magitek crafting. Or constructing civilizations.
Two out of the five options seemed more middle of the road but with wildly unique outcomes. She could get one mythical trait from Runic Artificer. Or she could have three of her most prominent skills combined for something new while getting a legendary trait, an epic trait, and another skill choice.
At the very least, each class choice was mythical quality. Better yet, choosing a mythical class at Level 100 yielded an extra stat point compared to choosing one at Level 40.
Zarian once had a mythical martyr class option at Level 40. That would’ve only given him an extra +3 in stats compared to at Level 100 where mythical gave +4 stats.
That raised a certain question, however.
What qualities and stats existed above mythical?
They would have to see what Foodie would get once she reached Level 100. So far, none of the Floridians knew what qualities existed above mythical and below divine.
Ruvaria probably knew, but Zarian imagined such a high quality was a secret reserved for the Greater Worlds. The Star System wouldn’t want to tell.
So, for now, they had to contend with what they could gain at Level 100.
“What’s the point of getting a mythical class if I don’t get a mythical trait?” Hannah asked after a stretch of time.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
“You sure?” Zarian asked.
The brunette woman shrugged one shoulder. “It’s a safe choice, even if it’s a little dull. But I don’t mind that in the end. The choice in class itself shouldn’t be too exciting for me. The more important factor is having the right foundations that allow me to pursue my various practices efficiently. And … I think having a mythical trait will do me justice. In fact, I know it will.”
Zarian nodded. “Then so be it.”
Hannah stopped tinkering and crafting.
All of her random doodads and thingamabobs clattered down on her work bench or the courtyard floor. She furrowed her brow, pouted, and then locked in her choice.
“Runic Artificer, please.”
<Hannah Townhouse: Runic Artificer (Mythical) has been chosen!>
Before the Star System moved on, Hannah dropped backwards. She crafted a seat under her tush before she landed.
She sat with her head hanging low. Her body shivering, undergoing the changes to her class, to her profile runes, and to her existence.
Zarian’s Aura Mastery noticed the weight of her presence becoming more significant quite fast. That was on top of everything else she’d already gained and would gain.
Before Hannah recovered from her Second Class Advancement, the Star System moved onto the next.
<Naomi’s Second Class Advancement Reselection.>
<Tempering Cultivator (Legendary): This class comes with 1 legendary trait. It offers an additional +3 Willpower per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>
<Storm Juggernaut (Legendary): This class changes your Psychokinesis +3 to Tempestakinesis. It also changes your Primal Huntress Form +3 to Storm Giant Shift. It offers 1 uncommon trait and additional stats: +1 Willpower and +2 Strength per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>
<Martial Mentalist (Legendary): This class changes your Overclock +3 to Perfected Martial Synchrony. It offers 2 rare traits and additional stats: +1 Willpower, +1 Strength, and +1 Agility per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>
<Kinetic Beast (Legendary): This class comes with 1 epic trait, 1 rare trait, and a skill of your choice. It offers an additional +1 Willpower and +2 Agility per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>
<Death Chaser (Legendary): This class comes with 1 legendary trait. It offers an additional +3 Willpower per level. Because of your freedom alignment, this class falls under any sub alignment.>
Zarian and the others watched Naomi prowl about like an angry beast trapped in a confined cage.
She opened her mouth and closed it multiple times. She pointed a finger at the Star System’s gold box, opened her mouth again, then huffed out angrily.
She stopped and glared down at the floor with so much intensity her psychic power drilled a hole through the stone blocks by mere happenstance. Then she stomped with another angry huff and formed a crater under her, rattling the courtyard mountaintop.
“I really got fucked because I chose my beginner class before meeting Foodie, huh?” Naomi asked.
The Star System remained silent on the subject.
Naomie raged. “You let a bastard like Jack get legendary, then mythical! Just like that?! But I have to keep chasing while I’m behind on qualities and stats.”
Naomi raged on further. “You know how hard it’s going to be to make up the difference when we’re high in the Level 100s? What if I’m still behind when we’re in the Level 200s? How big of a difference would it get then?”
Naomi found a piece of a broken column and kicked it into the sky. “Damn, man! Why do I always get shit on even when I work my ass off so fucking hard I end up killing myself?!”
Zarian couldn’t take it anymore.
The throne shifted into a cloak by the time he stood up. He crossed the distance and hugged Naomi from behind.
Her body was rigid against his. Then she softened up and leaned back into his hold.
There were no tears in her eyes. She was beyond tears at this point. But the rage underneath simmered.
“Okay, alright, I’ll stop whining,” Naomi muttered. “It is what it is. I’ll make up for it. Even if I have to sweat and puke blood. I’ll push so hard I’ll make this class quality bullshit a joke. Y’all are going to be looking up to me no matter what.”
“Do you know which one?” Zarian asked.
Naomi huffed. “I don’t like how three of them change my shit up too much. Maybe I would’ve chosen Storm Juggernaut, but I like my psychic stuff for what it is. Death Chaser almost sounds like me, but that’s not really what I’m all about. If I die, I die. But I’m not chasing it.”
Naomi moved her head from side to side. “I want to say Tempering Cultivator. It’s a big maybe though. I don’t even know what that exactly means.”
“Someone who cultivates the spiritual lifestyle of being forged, reforged, and hardened,” Zarian said. “That’s what I think it means, and I think it suits you the most, honestly.”
“Ain’t nobody harder than you, woman,” Gilbert added. “But I guess if one person can be harder than you, it is you.”
Hannah and Bianca nodded. Foodie nodded as well as she took out some sweet bread loaves from the oven. The smell wafted across the courtyard, and Naomi seemed to relax as she sniffed at it.
Foodie came up with a piece and handed it to her. While still wrapped in Zarian’s arms, Naomi ate a piece of the delectable bread and relaxed some more before she proceeded.
“Yeah, that sounds about right. It comes with a legendary trait that I imagine will make me a cultivator or whatever while I’m still able to keep my psychic stuff. And it seems like cultivating your darkness helps you, Zarian, so sure. Hit me with that thing, Tempering Cultivator,” Naomi announced.
<Naomi Washington: Tempering Cultivator (Legendary) has been chosen!>
She patted her hands on Zarian’s arms. They stayed like that for a few heartbeats longer than necessary before separating. Zarian watched as Naomi stumbled a little before straightening up.
The wizard remained standing. The Star System moved onto the final class choices.
