Is Spearman on the list because I used a spear to kill them?

Makes sense, but nah! I'm not feeling this one.

What next!

[Hunter: A hunter is a highly skilled individual who specializes in tracking and eliminating targets. With extensive knowledge of weapons, camouflage, and tracking techniques, they excel at locating and dispatching their prey with lethal precision.

Man, why the fuck would I want to become a murderer? Do you seriously need to add this class?

Even if I choose this class—not like I will choose it, but even, soooomehow I convince myself, what reward do I get, denied entry to many places?

Why would anyone want to even choose this?

Next!

The skills and are given, along with a bonus of 10 in magical power.]

Ohhhhhhh boy! Now we talking, this is some good stuff.

I can finally fulfill my childhood dream of firing fireballs out of my hand. Maybe I could even fly after becoming a mage. Ahhh! What more could I Do... While looking at the description Dhruv began to imagine things.

I am soaring through the sky, casting fireballs. Flames dance at my fingertips as I hurdle through the air, defying gravity. I am a fiery comet, a magical force of chaos and awe. This dream of mine, oh, how it sets my sends the current of exitment within me...

Hahahahahhaha!

Do I even need to look any further?

Calm down! Dhruv, lest you get a heart attack out of excitement

So! What do we have next?

[Elemental Duelist: You are a skilled mage who specializes in the arts of illusion and metal magic. You possess the ability to manipulate and control the elements, particularly metal, and illusion, shaping it to your will. With proficiency in illusion, you can create deceptive illusions to confuse and distract your opponents.

WARNING! If you choose this class, you won't be able to use any other form of magic.

The skills , , , and are given along with a bonus of 10 in magic power.]

This is great, BUT WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY I CAN'T ANY OTHER FORM OF MAGIC?

Man, this class is good. I get to start with four skills, but limiting myself... I don't like it.

Uhmm! This class is as good as gone, I guess.

And the last one is...

[Mirage Lancer: Strong and skilled in both mounted combat and the art of illusion, a Mirage Lancer is a powerful warrior. They have the capacity to produce lifelike illusions and mirages that can trick adversaries and distort their perspective of reality. The Mirage Lancers are masters of mounted combat, swiftly striking their adversaries from unexpected angles while utilizing their illusions to strengthen both their offense and defense. They are dangerous and unpredictable foes on the battlefield due to their skill with illusions and riding abilities.

The skills , are given along with a bonus of 10 in both agility and magical power.]

This is interesting, there isn't any immediate restriction or anything like that, but mounted combat is just.. too niche for my preferences. I prefer a more magical department.

So, I guess this is no for me as well...

That means there's only one left to choose from.

There is no point in delaying this any further.

Wasting no time, Dhruv selected the class Mage. the moment he selected his class multiple notifications began to bombard in front of him.

[You have selected mage as your class.]

[You have learned the skills and .]

[Minor Mana Absorption: Absorbs a small amount of mana from the surroundings to replenish the caster's magical energy.]

[Mana Bolt: Conjures a concentrated bolt of mana energy that can be hurled at opponents as a projectile attack.]

[NOTE! As a mage, you can use any type of magic but you should focus on using your affinity magic, as it is easier to practice.]

[You have unlocked the class leveling system.]

[You can level up your class by earning exp. You can earn exp either by killing any other being or by performing your class-related take. Every level-up rewards you with one skill point that can be used to either upgrade your existing skills or buy any new skills that you desire.]

Oh, hold on a second! So you're telling me that I can earn experience points just by killing monsters? Not specifically monsters, but you get where I'm coming from, right?

And, when did our world turn into a freakin' video game? I mean, seriously, who signed me up for this twisted version of reality?

Did I accidentally stumble into a real-life version of GTA? Can someone please let me know when the cheat codes are being handed out?

Because I could really use a boost in my stats. I mean, I already have a massive boost in my stats, but you never have enough, right?

Time to level up, baby! But seriously, if I respawn after getting killed by a monster, I might just quit this game and go back to the good ol' non-virtual reality.

[You have completed your quest.]
