《Curses》26. Second Times the charm
Advertisement
[CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE REACHED LEVEL TEN AND ARE READY TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP ON YOUR JOURNEY]
[PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR NEW CLASS]
[1. Student Curser - Start your path to power as a Curser - +2 INT per level, +1 Free stat per level - Curses are 10% more powerful]
[2. Student Bard - Start your path to power as a Bard - +1 DEX per level, +1 WIS per level, +1 Free stat per level - Bardic spells are 10% easier to cast]
[3. Lesser Cursed Bard - Your path is twisted by having a large talent into more than one path, though a force of will you try to merge them - +1 DEX per level, +1 INT per level, +1 Free stat per level - You can cast curses using Bardic methods]
[4. Cursed Winner - You’ve proven that you can beat the tower, but at what cost - +4 INT per level - You can cast curses of one tier higher]
[5. Pure magic genius - You’ve proven that almost no one can match you in any type of magic - +3 INT per level, +2 WIS per level - All spells cost 10% less mana]
Looking at the options numbers one and two are a nope. Number three is fine, just a nice mix of one and two. Four is a winner, pun intended, with +4 to INT per level I would be unstoppable. The downside of this Class was the lack of free stats. The real upside was the ability to cast curses of one tier higher. With that, I could literally be the best curser alive.
Number 5 though was legendary, I could be the best at every type of magic. If its first class ability is a flat 10% less mana to all spells, its next one would be amazing. The amount of mana that could be saved, was staggering. The effect would also stack with enchanted items and other skills.

Picking between [Cursed Winner] and [Pure magic genius] was an impossible challenge, but I decided on [Pure magic genius]. Just as I was going to pick it, a new one popped up.
[6. Path of the Immortal step one - You’ve embarked on the Path of the Immortal, even taking one step on the path marks your spot in history - +4 CON per level, +4 Free stats per level - You heal one health per second]
I chose [Pure magic genius]. I won’t walk that path ever again. I could only bear it last time because I couldn't change. Being immortal is a lonely broken path. Even with that kind of power, it wasn’t worth choosing. I won’t be alone again.
Then the class choice took control and I felt the power swim within me, changing me. After a minute it stopped and I opened up my stat screen.

Just as I was seeing my glorious stat sheet Tyler calls over to me. “Hey, I’ve got some weird classes. Here let me just show you.” A list of classes pops up in my view.

[1. Student Warrior - Start your path to power as a warrior - +1 STR per level, +1 CON per level, +1 Free point per level - 10% more health]
This one was expected given his current class and was a very standard one at that.
[2. Student Spellblade - Your path is twisted by having a large talent into more than one path, though a force of will you try to merge them - +1 STR per level, +1 INT per level, +1 Free point per level - Gain the ability to learn self-buff spells from skill pages]
This was the one that I hoped Tyler would get, but why did he say he got some weird ones?
[3. Follower of the Curse King - You follow in the footsteps of the Curse King - +3 Free point per level - Gain the ability to learn curses for skill pages]
This one was probably due to the system still recognizing my previous feats. Flattering but no thank you.
[4. Wake of the Giant first step - History will be shaped by your steps - +1 STR per level, +1 DEX per level, +2 CON per level - Gain skill {First Step of The Giant}]
I don’t think this class is talking about an actual giant as they are only on floors 70-79 but more of a historical giant like the founder of a nation. This is the confirmation I need to continue on my path. I am going to make history, again, and bring Tyler along. While I was ruminating over how awesome I am Tyler calls my name. “Earth to Zain,” I look at him, “Oh, there you are. Should I take the class? The giant one.” Tyler asks while looking at his screen.
“Absolutely you should, did you see those stats and you get a skill. I got 5 stats per level and I got it for being the best magic user ever. You should remember though that once you start that train stopping is ill-advised.”
“I’ll take that under consideration,” Tyler says before a golden light consumes him.
“Ah to be young,” I say to no one.

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Now people pass their time fighting each other over fishing territory and remnants of their distant past. This is their story.
