《The Empath [hidden]》chapter 11
Advertisement
Sigh I have forgotten about it previously now but that I remember mind mages have trouble with spells of other magic, some strange side effect not only does it take 3 times the experience it also reduces the efficiency by 60%.
Well efficiency itself isn't the problem but it will take a month before I reach intermediate in the basic spells so that i can make spell scroll, arrgh funk it I will just buy the scrolls from store for now, yep let's worry about scroll making later, time to visit magic store.
"Welcome customer, how may I help you?" A boy of 16 year old at the counter asks politely.
"Is there spell scroll for fire magic and ice magic?"
"Please wait a moment sir" saying so the boy moves to a shelf taking out several small boxes that contain numerous scrolls he puts it on the counter "please feel free to choose from them"
Looking at them I can see several low and mid grade spells, fireball, fire spray, firewall, explosion, freeze, ice spear, ice projectile, ice domain and so on, buying 20 of each bought down my wealth by 2000 gold coins.
Now all that left is to get the Arachnid queen corpse for the class, if you are wondering the quest needs to be done alone, normally gun should be enough but spiders have numbers and webs a bad combo to fight against soloing, especially so when you are of similar level.
So hence comes the need of scrolls, anyway the cave is fairly near the town in fact you can find spider lair almost in all the cities and towns.

I kinda went with Jack of all build, the 200 stats point are all split into 5 stats equally 40 points each, the rest generated by actions, ah well onto the magical class.
The darned half spiders are intelligent and quick on their feet making it trouble some to shoot, I tried to avoid using scrolls as much as possible but it was impossible without launching a fire ball now and then to get them in place were I want or burn their Web traps.
It was trouble some and I nearly died on many occasion even with scrolls and potions, since the cave was filled with easily flammable Webs all it took was a fireball to set it aflame thereby restricting their movements and making them easy to shoot targets, the scrolls were running out fast I only had a few of each left luckily I reached the queens chamber.
Without even waiting I activated ice domain which slows and freezes anybody within 5 meters for 5 minutes, all it did was slow down the queen and her minions but that was enough, using ice projectiles on the minions and constantly shooting at the queen who was shooting all kind of poisonous web at me.
Dodging a few and getting hit by a few I didn't stop shooting, though my health was dropping steadily thanks to the constant potion consumption I was safe, after 5 minutes were up I was only able to bring it down by 20%.
As soon as it tried to charge i activated firewall, followed by fire spray, still it went on for a while constant switching between fire and ice spells and mana gun did her in, collecting the loot I left for the nearby shrine.
Offering the queens remain to the gods I activated the rebirth option, a Window popped up asking my confirmation for switching to special class, after I selected OK, another pop up in formed me of my class change from mind mage to Empath.

Empath :
Those who are able to link their mind to their soul, masters of mind magic, through their highly developed mind they are capable of connecting directly to others mind quite easily giving them access to communicate, read, analyze the targets mind.
As a result of their mind being connected to soul they develop mana sense over the years which make them capable of seeing, hearing, feeling and even tasting the mana, as such they are considered to be one of the finest mana manipulators that are even able to analyze and understand any spells used before them.
But it does come with a draw back any spells other than mind magic comes with 60% reduced efficency as they need to maintain the connection between soul and mind always, but it does get better with training and exercise after acquiring decent amount of it they can overcome such drawback.
Note : Beware, high degree of mana sense can be both blessing and curse, if not controlled properly this may lead to death or crippling of user or those around them.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
