The Ruined Death Knight

[Sub-class]:

[Spell Blade]:

[Curse Caller]

[Runesmith of Undeath]

[Protector]

"So 4 choices are this time available to me huh? I even got the Spell Blade class that this Rapha guy had as one of my options."

`Although I probably can guess what those sub-classes do, it wouldn´t hurt taking a look just to be safe´

"Yeah, let´s start with this guy's sub-class."

[Spell Blade]: Those who choose the path of magic and mastering their chosen weapon are being called Spell Blades. They are vastly versatile in various situations with their magic and difficult to deal with the cause of their melee combat capabilities. They are considered as one of the most annoying enemies to deal with as they are spell casters who aren´t to be underestimated in melee combat. But cause they seek to master martial arts and spells at the same time, causing them to be inferior to someone who mastered the ways of melee combat or magic.

`Most annoying enemies to deal with, huh...? Quite a funny way of describing this but it certainly holds some truth. Getting close to them is a pain in the ass while killing them is even more annoying...´

Just remembering that guy coming back from the dead just to do a double suicide act on him bought a shiver through my still cracked spine...

My dude, even though my charisma can not be resisted, isn`t it a little too much to throw yourself at me and drag me to your death bed?

Shaking my head of such thoughts I quickly went to read the next one.

[Curse Caller]: A type of magic caster who focuses on fast casting various curses on these enemies. They mostly specialize in affecting the enemies that are near them, but at the cost of abanding the path of long-lasting curses. Which makes them a rare breed of magic casters.

"Curse Caller...that sounds like an abomination of a spell caster. Although their ability is such impressive in a group fight, in reality, they will simple shooting themselves in the foot! Just by casting a spell, it will be enough for the enemy to place a death flag upon you! Although my main class is of warrior type, I would rather not place a bounty for others to collect..."

"And the curse of the vigor that I put this Rapha guy didn´t impress me that much...although useful it seemed kind of the overkill."

In the battle between me and the Rapha guy, the curse of vigor only hastens the defeat of the Rapha guys and nothing much. Even without the curse, I would have been able to defeat him sooner or later.

"Casting wind blade instead might have been better. Oh, well let´s head right next to the other one.

[Runesmith of Undeath]: Those who turned the ancient language of the Undead into Runes are called Runesmiths of Undeath. Their runes that are called 'death runes' specialize in exploiting the benefits of the undead race to bring the most out of the runes.

"I will be damned! Aren´t those the runes that the Veren sword has?"

'Doesn't that mean if I were to pick this class, I would be able to make a whole set of Veren armor and such!?"

Just thinking about it brought me a strong urge to immediately pick this sub-class.

Wouldn't picking this sub-class change most of my current problems?

No more would I require to steal others' armor and weapons every time some goes suicide commando on me!

The days of the naked skeleton will be no more!

"Calm down me...although the path of a bright future is right in front of me, there is still one option to look at. Picking without looking through all actions is the fool's work!"

Giving a last glance at the Runesmith subclass. I opened the last option description.

[Protector]: A warrior that uses various martial arts of the body and the shield are what Protectors are. With their motto being `Defense is the best Defense´ they are considered as a trusted shield for anyone who is their allies and an impenetrable wall on those that he considers as enemies.

"This sub-class might fit quite well together with my main class as Guardian since I will be using a shield in the future. But it somehow sounds like being a meatshield for others..."

Although the idea of being incredibly sturdy and hard to kill sounds kind of attractive, that description makes it sound more like a support type...

"Hmmm, I might have to pass on that one. It isn´t like I got someone to protect and becoming a meatshield with just bones doesn´t sound like a good idea."

Sitting down cross-legged on the ground I started considering my available options.

`If I want to start using magic now then Spellblade and if I were to learn curses then Curse Caller is the way to go. Both of those options would give me various advantages in a fight to where the Protector sub-class would further enchant me being a warrior type.´

"Although those options sound appealing...it has to be the Runesmith of Undeath after all!"

[You acquired the Talent Rune Vision]

"Status!"

[Remark: A Undead who possesses the knowledge of ancient knowledge and has an extraordinary future. Although the current him knows jack shit about such ancient knowledge, the potential is still there]

"Oh! Two Talents right through the start! Not even my main class was so generous!"

Seeing the two Talents that I got, all my worries of before have vanished.

"Tch, and here I thought that the status had a change of heart...At least I made the right choice after all..."

Although my decision was swift, it didn´t mean that I haven´t thought about it carefully.

The sole reason why I chose the Runesmith class instead of the other ones was simple for one single reason only...

I couldn´t learn runes!

As silly as it sounds that simple reason was why I chose that subclass!

But what about the magic you ask?

I already learned that with the help of magic scrolls I can already learn magic even if my class isn´t one of a caster!

Even with the risks of there being only basic spells available on the magic scroll that wouldn´t have been a problem.

After all, by simply dropping my whole wallet of XP into the spell and make it Lv. 10, I can simply make it evolve into a stronger version!

It isn´t like that I need licenses for magic casters to use Magic!

As for the Protector sub-class...

Let´s just say I haven´t had enough meat on me.

"Alright! Let´s see what those two beauties have to offer!"

[Dead Rune Knowledge]: You can understand and learn Dead Runes.

"Hmm...well... I ain´t complaining but isn´t that a little...too short?"

Confused, I raised my finger and pressed at the [Dead Rune Knowledge].

And in an instant, a massive new screen appeared in front of me.

"Woah!" Startled, I tried to quickly stand up, but though me being in a cross-legged position I only managed to halfway stand up and the next moment falls to the ground with butt first.

"Dammit, I didn´t expect that a new screen would suddenly pop up..."

Inspecting the new screen in front, a lot of questions appeared in front of me.

Literally.

"That screen is sure weird... the only thing that is readable is the word [Common] with everything else being a question mark..."

On the left of the screen was a small lane which had a punch of [???] in it, while at the top of the lane was the word [Common] written there.

Pressing the word [Common] 3 lines of further [???] appeared on the right.

"Weird...pressing at the [???] seems to do nothing. Except for the fact of scrolling the [???] of left on right there doesn´t seem to be anything else that I can here..."

After testing the new screen for a little while I finally managed to find something.

[Common]: Cost 10 000 XP to learn a Random Rune.

"I see...pressing the [Common] button twice was the key after all." Taking a better look at the screen in front of me I couldnßt help but frown (Not like I have a face).

"It seems like, the talent [Dead Rune Knowledge] works similar to how I can buy skills through the use of XP. But...is it necessary to make it random?"

That is just a bottomless pit for my wallet to fall in!

Isn´t that straight up a rip-off!?
