My name is 'Alexsainder Caddel' and I'm the official NPC, you know that guy that seems to just be their for flavor, that's me.
My height is the only thing that stands out quite literally about me, and I'm fine with that. I much prefer to listen to drama than be apart of it.
Or at least I used to be, this manuscript I have made to catalogue my adventures through the vast cosmos and my life's transformation due to the [Trials of Genesis] and what would soon follow.
....
It happened in burst of fire, the sky opened, reality trembled as the [System] Activated.
...
"Do we need to do this every time" the disembodied voice of the [System] Admin asked, as he scanned through the species history.
A newly discovered species though they possess many common traits with elves. Though they appear to be far more quarrelsome.
"A intelligent bipedal species, no surprise their, highly individualistic on their own yet have a tendency for flock behavior in groups."
The voice continued to give a variety of personal commentary to the singular audience of it's self.
Eventually the entity had returned to its purpose.
"Hmm, I say we grant them a higher ability to change classes early on, they seem to both love and hate change so let's not make it to easy, and let's throw in that for some flavor.
....
[Welcome, Human Champion]
[Please, Signify Your Name]
...
Alexsainder, open his eyes to see a white expanse, with only a small blue window breaking the monotony of the bright void.
I tried to move and yet I couldn't my limbs flailed helplessly.
Looking around all I saw was that I was clad in a basic somewhat non-descript tunic and pants, on my feet where a pair of very uncomfortable and rudimentary sandals.
Scanning for the blue screen I focused on it and I saw Inscribed upon it's surface laid a prompt asking for my name and calling me a Human Champion. Looking dumbly at the small window I whispered Outwards to beckoning void "Alexsainder Caddel"
[Name Confirmed, 'Alexsainder Caddel']
[Please Select a Following Omen]
[Please Select a Following Class]
[Please Select a Basic Armament]
....
My mind was blank my eyes locked into the forever stretching void. Whispers of what I should do whispered throughout my mind like a steady buzzing sound. Panic tried to take hold but the white sound that resounded through my skull. Until I felt like a steady snap sound resounded my skull. Blinking I my mind started to start up as a hundred and one questions rose up and died with a brief second until one remained.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
"Am I dead" my voice was like a drop into the eternal void.
Suddenly another small window appeared on its surface bore a single word.
[No]
"Then where am I, the Yeti's Asscrack?" I yelled hoping quite futility that something would happen, the void seemed to be uncaring until once again a small rectangular screen appeared.
[Error, I do not know the Named Location 'Yeti's Asscrack']
[Human Champion 'Alexsainder Caddel' is currently residing in a small shard of the realm of Purgatory]
[Once again please Pick an Omen]
....
Well, apparently whatever this was not all-knowing. Thinking about It I might as well go along with it "What's an Omen" I asked in defeat as I hoped by playing along I might get the hell out of this Minimalist's wet dream.
...
[Glady, Champion 'Alexsainder Caddel', an Omen is a boon typically granted randomly at birth; however, as you are newly integrated you are allowed the ability to chose your own]
...
"So basically a Astrology sign?" I asked a brief bit of disdain as thought of the pusedo science.
....
[No, based on my scans of the various human cultures a Omen is not a astrology sign as you would put it, moreso a buff]
[Here are some Examples, Human Champion]
[Omen of the Magi]
[+5% Affinity for Magic Related Concepts, +5% Intelligence]
[Omen of the Knight]
[5% Strength, and Endurance]
[Omen of the King]
+10% affinity with the Leadership concept, +25 Charisma.
[Omen of the Lord]
5% Affinity with the Leadership Concept, +10 charisma
[Omen of the Dammed]
Bestows the [Curse of the Dammed], +20% affinity with Forsaken Concepts.
....
"What does the Magic Related Concepts mean?" I asked. As I scanned to various Omens and some seemed just plain weaker ripoffs of other ones.
"And why do some of these Omen's Kinda suck?"
...
[Concepts are the blanket term for the truth or the essence of something such as the Concept of Time, being the truth of Time]
[Certain Concepts are related such as Water and Ice Concepts, and certain people have an innate connection to certain Concepts and everyone has core affinity to a concept]
[The reason why some Omen's are as you'd 'suck' are because some are genuinely weaker than others]
....
Out of curiosity, I asked the Void
"What's my core Concept?"
And a blue screen with a loading wheel appeared.
...
[Scanning.... Human Champion 'Alexsainder Caddel' possess the Core concept of Time]
[Core Concept: Time Affinity 43%]
...
Time? Seemed so mundane to me it was the thing that passed that seemed to inflate as it lost it value as he got older and hour went from being a lifetime to being a commute to school...
"Is that high, and what can I do with it"
...
[I cannot answer that question] the Void answered.
...
"Why not" It had answered all my questions this far why not this one?
...
[Because the answer is highly subjective in nature] the blue box responded
...
Sorting the screens by clicking and a manually dragging the boxes I saw the one of the First boxes.
"Hey what's a class?"
...
[A class is typically a summary of the skills and records a person has acquired thus far]
[ For example a high level skill in a sword might grant the [Swordsman] class.]
[Classes Grant Core skills as soon as you get them, and you can either evolve classes at certain thresholds]
[ As you posses no records you will began a lvl. 1 and can either chose to keep or change your class at lvl. 5]
....
Alright, so like Rpg classes got it, not that well versed but I will figure it out.
Looking down at the Armament section I clicked on it and saw various weapons such as swords, bows, Halberds, spears, staves, and other various weapons, except for the good old American favorite.
"Where the F**k are the Guns!" I asked. As I continued to scroll the long sprawling list.
...
[I cannot answer that Question]
...
"Why not, it's a simple question where the fuck are the Guns---" my voice cut out as a new window appeared.
...
[Time up, you Class, Omen, and Armament shall be chosen by random]
...
[Omen: Dammed selected]
[Class: Disgraced Chosen]
[Armament: Sickle Selected]
[Curse of the Dammed added]
-20% Charisma, +20% affinity with the Foresaken Concepts
