Reset: DPS to Support?!

Chapter 12: Reset

The state of transcendence turned nil and thus everything went blank.

...

Within a dark voided space, Shinto's body flowed through the emptiness of it as if time had come to a halt for him.

'...'

His body ached and his mind was in deep fatigue.

The endless void was still, as only the sounds of the system log's notification continued to pile up.

[ Reset completed. ]

[ Your level has dropped down to level 1. ]

[ All skills unrelating to class 'Shadow Diviner' and stats will be reset. ]

'Ugh...' Shinto's mind slowly recovered from the blackout, as his consciousness looked towards the notifications appearing before him.

[ Wisdom stat has opened. ]

[ Passive Skill: 'Divining Gauge' has been created. ]

[ Passive Skill: 'Diviner's Will' has been created. ]

[ Passive Skill: 'Split Between Two' has been created. ]

[ Passive Skill: 'Bearer of The Diviner' has been created. ]

[ Passive Skill: 'Eyes of Altric' has been created. ]

[ Ability Skill: 'Shadow Fields' has been created. ]

[ Ability Skill: 'Divinity Point' has been created. ]

[ Ability Skill: 'Mark of Umbra' has been created. ]

[ Ability Skill: 'Shadow Recreation' has been created. ]

[ Ability Skill: 'Hollowed Crest' has been created. ]

[ You have obtained the title: 'Altric's Discoverer'. ]

[ Shadow stat has opened. ]

[ Divinity stat has opened. ]

Shinto's consciousness continued locking onto the notifications. With his eyes slid shut, the notifications continued.

[ As your level has been reset, your first ranking in the unified and in top DPS will be marked under legacy within the system. ]

[ You are now ranked as N/A ]

...

'So I'm no longer first huh...?'

Shinto gave off a wistful smile as he sighed a breath of relief.

The burden of being at the top, which he had kept bottled up within his heart and mind, finally released.

Shinto has now been officially freed of everything. He can now take a break and then would be able to return anew with everything in his mind becoming crystal clear.

Still with that smile of his, he finally opened his eyes. Within this endless void, the only thing of colour was the blue notification window in front of him.

'Shadow Diviner...' He repeated to himself as he read his notifications more closely.

'Just what kind of support class is it?'

He let his trail of thoughts run, as he worked his brain. Though, with the current fatigue he as yet fully recovered from he could not think well within this silent space.

[ As you have fallen into heavy fatigue from the state of transcendence, you will now be teleported out of the dungeon and to your home save point. ]

[ Your previous registered home residence is no longer available for use. ]

[ Would you like to teleport to your previous home residence instead? ]

'A-Ah... Right. I left my guild...' Shinto's thoughts cut off as he received the last few notifications, 'Which is why my home residence is no longer registered...'

'Hmm... Where was my previous home residence? It's been such a long time...'

Thinking to himself within the silent abyss, he finally remembered.

'The Kingdom of Hak... By the west of Zemul...'

'With this reset, it's not too shabby to go there, huh?'

The Kingdom of Hak is one of three most crowded and popular kingdoms filled with new players. Why so? It's because these kingdoms provided many first-timers with the ability to experience many sorts of things that no other kingdom provides, it was basically a newbie-benefit for starting in these kingdoms.

The experience of newbie-friendly hunting grounds, the quests from the NPCs, the market and the like. With this, the Kingdom of Hak was on the newbie-friendly side of the spectrum.

Taking into account this fact, Shinto said breathlessly, "Yes."

[ Teleporting shall commence now. ]

Within the deep abyss, a light suddenly shone, enveloping Shinto within it. Soon as the light dissipates, he disappears into thin air.

...

A white embodiment of light shone through the temple of VieraThe respawn point for all players who reside within the peaceful town of Parm, the starting area of those who chose the Kingdom of Hak.

As the light evaporates, stood Shinto at the epicentre of it, with his shining white light armour set, his blue-black sword, his accessories, all gone. All there was on him was ragged clothing.

Shinto scanned his surroundings, noticing many new players at the temple. All of them were bustling about, chattery and boasting of their achievements. Besides the temple being the respawn point of the town, it is also a place where many gather for quests exclusively given by the order of Veiradefeat monsters, collect items, help NPCs and the like. Thus the temple was always crowded.

Shinto let out a breath of relief as he scrutinized the area, 'Since they're all newbies, it's a given they wouldn't really know me.'

Newbies were newbies, they were first time players of the game, so they wouldn't be paying attention to the unified rankings or the individual rankings at all and would oftentimes just play the game as it is, to have fun.

The newbie players also didn't have access to Crystality until later into the game, unlocking it at level 50, which was a relief to Shinto as he didn't have to worry of anyone flocking to him for a carry just because he was a DPS god.

'But still, even if they knew who I was... They wouldn't bat an eye on me.'

Why would they bat an eye to a level one player, ragged clothing that has the name Shinto? It isn't as if character names in-game are unique for every player; it's more likely to have the same character names, with high probability, since many players worldwide account for up to 10 Million Players.

With the ability to have duplicate names, impersonating someone was in theory possible. But although they have the same name, the voice and appearance of the character in itself are all different. The appearance and voice of a character is dependant on their real-life traits, and they could only slightly modify their appearance through adding beautification, change hairstyles and the like. Thus impersonating was near impossible.

In the case of the current Shinto, even though he was uniquely his own self, no one could possibly recognize him here, they were newbies for a reason. And high rankers rarely show up here since they aren't anything interesting for them at the temple.

'These newbies wouldn't wittingly search me up, right? That would just be too wasteful, heck... When they do, they would probably be toxic against me for using the name Shinto to try and trick new players...'

"In any case, I shouldn't worry about that for now." Shinto shook his head, removing the thought away, "Now that I've come back here, the first order of business would be to check my status window."

Shinto took a deep breath as he said, "Status window."

"Hmm... These class attributes aren't too shabby, eh?" Shinto observed his new stats as he looked over the attributes, "During the day and night, I would get different buffs... So depending on the situation, I could put them to use."

His eyes moved down towards his titles, "Hmm, that's it for titles?" Shinto clicked his tongue, "Tsk... I'm not satisfied at all with this. Though leaving aside tat... I'll be able to regain back my titles and items when I reach level 201."

Closing his status window, his gaze diverted elsewhere, "Now then... Let's check my new skills."
