《Celestial Beings: Evolution》Stage 1: Marionette II (Chapter 8)

[Here are the lists of species which mesh with your character]
[Elf] Uncommon
+10 Wisdom
-Elves are creatures who are magical beings and focus in the art of magic. They are known to have pointy ears, aswell as be one with Nature. Many Elves sacrifice their lives to protect the tree named 'The Tree of Life'. All of Elves parade around it every fortnight for a festival which celebrates
Well, I have no intentions of protecting Nature or Animals, but it doesn't seem that bad. I do plan on becoming a Magician of sorts for my Class, so I don't think it'd be a bad idea. Also the Rating is uncommon, which can't be that bad right?
[Human] Common
5+ Vitality
5+ Wisdom
-Humans are the most well balanced class, and not restricted to any form of magic, however that means they are a jack of all trades and a master of none, this could be considered a disadvantage or an advantage. They also are not restricted to the Wisdom stat, they are also abl to become Warriors, Soldiers, or even Magic Swordsmen. A unique side to Humans is that they abandon the system of levelling up skills, and turn to circles around their hearts, each circle is infused with mana and represents their strength, although there is a limit.
I have no interest in becoming Human, why would I come to a completely new Universe and restrict myself to that of a Human, not even considering it, that's beyond dull. It even has a common tag, even [The System] realises it's trash.
[Demon] Rare
+5 Vitality
+5 Endurance
Demons are common entities which exist in the Underworld, although they find ways to escape. Like Humans, Demons are not restricted to magic, they can become other type classes. Demons are known to be angry for nothing, and often require patience when dealing with them, as they're so hot headed, and will lash out at any time. Many people who use this species often jump to conclusions without any evidence or facts.
Am I being insulted right now? What in the actual fuck did I do wrong to [The System] in my old life.

It seems that's it. Why did I get so few? Is it because I'm Orange? I hope not that would fucking suck (it is). Anyways, I think the obvious choice here is being an Elf. Makes much more sense since they're predominantly magic users, which I want to be. I thought of Elves.
[Congratulations, you're an Elf! Now please decide your Class]
huh? Class? Already? That was fast, maybe that means there will be Class Advancements, I hope so that'd be great. Anyways let's look.
[Magician] Uncommon
You will now gain access to secondary magic through picking this class, thats it. This is because this doesn't have a elemental type. Because of this, the class is sort of lack luster. Only people with Elemental Type magic will gain access to this class. Conditions were to be able to use magic before Level 10 (that's why it's uncommon, as not a lot of people focused on Wisdom as it being an obscure stat)
[Old Staff] - Common
[Wisdom] +20
[Ability Power] +15
[Strength] -2
[Puppeteer] Rare
This class is Rare as many people stray away from the Grey droplets of mana as they're more difficult in comparison than other Magics/Elements. Because of this class, there will now be a stat for the Marionettes known as "Maturing" which slowly turns their minds into adults. This is not the same for their body, their body will stay the same unless you change their appearance via skills or blacksmith. Every 100 stat point will be a huge growth in mindset. Going from Baby - Toddler - Child - Teenager - Adolescent - Adult. Marionettes can only work properly with strings attached to them, otherwise they will not work to their fullest capabilities and will be lackluster. With this class you will gain [Puppet String].
[Puppet Strings] - Growth Type.
[Unbreakable]
[Wisdom] +10
[Maturity] +15
Because this is a Rare class, you will be given a Growth type weapon which grows with your Class and skills.
As much as I wanted to be a Magician, I think Puppeteer will be better, especially since my Marionettes will gain a new stat which grows independent from me. I guess this is my only option, and the string is great, I will never have to change it since it's unbreakable, maybe one day I can use it as a weapon or something, probably unlikely though.

[Your class is now Puppeteer]
[Marionette shifted to Class Skill] - Updated.
[Gained Puppet Strings]
As I finished with my Class, my body morphed. I stretched, although it didn't hurt at all, it just felt... tingly.
My vision became a tad better I think, or it might be because I'm taller. I looked down, I had legs quite long legs, but that's fine, just an estimate, but I think I'm around 5"10, which could be considered average I guess. My skin was kind of pale, but nothing to worry about, I was pale as a human too. I also had black hair, but it was kinda short.
[Limitless Communication] Beginner Level Zero -> [Limitless Communication] Intermediate Level One.
[Elven Language has been learnt]. - Species Skill
I looked at my stat window astounded.
[Eluxo] Level 10
[Species] Elf
[Class] Puppeteer
[Instrument] Dolos is interested.
[Unspent Points] 5
[Agility] 3
[Endurance] 4
[Strength] 3
[Vitality] 6 -> 7
[Wisdom] 26 -> 50 (+10 Puppet Strings)
[General Skills]
[Limitless Communication] Intermediate - Level One
[Search] Beginner - Level Three
[Mana Sense] Beginner - Level Two
[Species Skills]
[Elven Language] - Beginner Level One
[Class Skills]
[Marionette] Beginner Level One
I quickly put my stats in Vitality and Wisdom. This is amazing. I was confident, I now had something to do, I looked over at Tep and smiled. How funny, this guy has a onesie on, and will even Mature on his own despite being practically no different to a robot. I smiled at him, but he never smiled back, which was fine, he isn't a real living thing. Maybe I shouldn't have made them humanoid, I feel weird. Anyways it said that [Marionette] changed.
[Marionette]
Every 5 levels, you will be given the option to get another Marionette. You will never feel drained despite how many you have out.
This is, great ! Now all there is is to put strings inside of him, which I have no idea how to do. I picked up the long yarn, which was pretty much cotton, they felt pretty magical if I'm honest. As soon as I put the string into both of my hands, they created a ring around all my fingers, including thumb. The long bit of the string was quite long, probably around 30 meters, which could put some distance between us, however it seems like I'll have to stay active in battles. Kind of annoying, but whatever. It also said this Grows with Class and Skills, does that mean when [Marionette] gets upgraded, the strings will increase? I hope so. I thought of the Strings moving, which they did and all 10 (thats the amount of string it came with) went into Tep. Tep flinched, but I don't think he felt pain. I moved the strings by tugging on them back and forth, and he moved back and forth. However, this was not efficient in the slightest, until.
[String Mastery] Beginner Level One - Passive.
After attempting to use Strings with your hands, you have now gained String Mastery. This essentially means that you will be able to use Strings with your mind or physically, the more you use strings, the more you will get Experience for this skill. People with the class Puppeteer can only use this. The higher level, the more intricate moves you can do with your Marionette.
That's really good actually, meaning I'll get better and better overtime even if my mind isn't taking anything in or just daydreaming, due to this skill. Great, I can finally progress.
As I was thinking heavily about other things that may happen, I remembered Aly. I looked around, and she was sat there, staring.
"Hello..."
She was shocked, but eventually smiled and waved. I'm glad.
"By the way Aly, you'll evolve at Level 10". It feels nice being able to speak again, although it was only a little under a week, still felt good.
