Every creature has a choice of a class and being able to evolve into a higher form. But most will only choose one and reject the other. The reasoning behind this is it is slower to get to the threshold for a level cap, when possessing both a class and the ability for evolution.

Take a large amount of humanoids for example almost all have rejected the evolution in favor of classes and because of this those in power stay in power by spreading false propaganda to the masses making it harder in the long run to become more powerful and reaching their limits sooner than most.

But it's the opposite for monsters and beasts almost all of them reject having a class as it makes them weaker for longer than was needed. Only the smartest and luckier ones that have decided to keep both will survive the hardships of a slow growth as they are forced to learn about using both to its fullest potential to become more powerful.

While rejection seems like a bad thing it does come with some it does come with benefits such as faster leveling and bonuses to stats or skills. Only a certain few have broken through into divinity and have become a god.

As I woke with a splash of water hitting my body. It didn't burn with incredible pain anymore, a small blue window appeared in my vision as I lay there floating in the water like liquid. It wasn't very deep at the shallow end of the pond seeing as my tail of 4 in could reach the bottom. Not drowning anytime soon the message opened up.

You have been offered a class by the system do you accept, or will you reject the classes given by the system?

Yes/No?

Warning rejecting a class will give you bonuses for stats but will forever lock the classes from you.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thinking this over, I could my thoughts ran in circles. Why would anyone reject free power given to them without any drawbacks or consequences, over what some extra stats that doesn't even tell you how much you get. That seems like it would only limit me to only my race. The sheer stupidity of someone rejecting this would be the worst mistake a creature could make. Instead of gambling with the chance to get a lot of stats or only getting a small boost would be very idiotic of them.

Speaking of which what was a normal stats look like, I have no idea, but it feels like it would be a waste to squander the opportunity given by the system. So I accepted saying yes to the message. And a new message popped into my vision.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Congratulations on accepting the class system.

You seem like a smart little Void monster.

You will receive three choices to chose from so pick one wisely for you may only receive one class.

1. Novice monster brawler. You fight with your body as your main weapon, leaning more towards physical domination over the magical talent that flows through your veins. STR, VIT and AGI will gain a small increase to stats and class skills will be given after a quick scan of your race and body to give skills suitable for you.

2. Novice Twilight Mage. Medium or close combat is the way this mage fights. Enemies rushing towards you, just fling a few spells at them then when they get close rip them asunder. Uses both Void and Light magic, One heals while the other destroys. Reap havoc on those who stand in the way of Twilight. STR, INT and VIT will gain small increase to stats when leveling. Skills relating to magic will be given when chosen.

3. Novice Hunter. A monster who hunts from the shadows using stealth to prey on foes who fail to sense danger approaching. Sneaking has become ingrained into you as the shadow meld with your form keeping you hidden from sight. AGI, will gain an increase to stats. Skills will be given after a scan of race and body to optimize skills given by the system.

Hmm, this was actually pretty nice all things considered, each of them gave off a good image in my mind. The first class would enhance my physical prowess and combat skills giving me a higher chance of surviving a fight.

The second option was honestly amazing not only did it give me magic, it also increased what stats my race did as well. And being able to heal sounded like a good trade off any day.

Thirdly was a shadow hunter class which only gave AGI as a stat increase, but it didn't say that it was a small increase either. Being able to slink into the shadows and killing things without other monsters noticing sounded good but what happens when I'm caught by a stronger foe without being able to hide from it, will I be able to escape from something like that which could see through stealth.

Fuck this is a hard decision to make after all this will shape who I will be in the future. I wonder if I can ask the system about what stats do.

“Fisedh tedcn diadsel FRfdaS” I said. Trying to speak, my sounded like metal being rubbed together while a cat was trying to throw up a hairball. What's a cat, and why did that pop up when thinking of what is sounded like?

But it seems like someone responded to my question. It didn't look like the other message I received.

Stats are the physical or magical measurement of power grated to the soul by the system when increasing in level.

STR-is the manifestation of raw power the body holds to so incredible feats like ripping the head off the body of an enemy or lifting something heavy to use as a weapon. This also increases the physical damage you do.

VIT-is when a body become more than what it used to be, hardening to the point where you take less damage from attacks. Stamina and health increase every time this stat is increased. But it also increases resistances from harmful effects against the body, like poison and other things that negatively screws with the body.

AGI-is when you become faster and better able to respond with your body. Reflexes increase making you able to react to things that were far harder to deal with. This also increases how dexterous you are able to do certain tasks with more ease the higher this stat is.

INT-covers almost every aspect of magic from how fast you use it to how fast it regenerates. The amount of mana increases as this stat does, while also increasing the resistances from magical attacks or effects.

CHS-in general is a thing that uses speech to sway others to your way of thinking easier than it would be without it. Increases the likability of said person. And has some magical properties such as gaining more favor with classes that use patrons to increase their magical power, like Priest, Sorcerer and other classes that use favor for power.

That explains a few things so thank you, who ever you are for the information you gave me.

Now back to it. I really didn't want to be a stealth type of monster. The physical one seemed kinda cool being more dominating through pure raw power alone. But it was the healing and destruction magic that called to me. It uses what my race was meant to do anyway, letting fight up close or from some distance away. Even if I did get hurt it could just be healed and the fight would continue until something died, either me or the other monster.

I chose the second option to become a Novice Twilight Mage. Moments passed by as nothing happened and then pain lanced through my head as knowledge of magic was place directly into my soul. Not a sound escaped my mouth and I tried to scream out in pain. And as suddenly it hit me it left just as fast.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Congratulation you have selected your first class and now have become a Novice Twilight Mage.

May you survive the future perils that are to come.

Be warned It will only be a matter of time before those who had betrayed you and stripped you of all your power and memories the God won't be able to harm you, but his followers will try to break into the Void to kill you to stop you from gaining even more power than you once had.

Now that I have told you, my debt paid in full to the Mother. But if you reach into the Realm of Gods and become one I will welcome you personally to the place where you will rule. But that is only if you survive the hell that is coming your way.

I just stood there shocked at what I read. Did I make a mistake when I chose to live again?

System is calibrating status page, please wait awhile as everything is being created and designed for you.

Time till completion 10 minutes.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Well guess I have to wait for a little while for the system to complete my status page. Sighing I began to move to the shore of the pond. After standing up on the edge of the pond I looked around the area to see where I was.

A dark purple sky greeted me as twin moons hung in the sky lighting up the surrounding area. Grey trees with black leaves. White grass covered the sliverish dirt. Scaning the treeline I waited for the time to end.

No noise was heard from anywhere near me so I don't think anything is watching me but I can hear something that sounds like fighting off in the distance. Listening to the noise of the fight it sounds like it was heading away towards the mountain that was white. Even the pond was a red like liquid. Everything was a weird color, like this wasn't supposed to be right but wasn't wrong either. This just feels weird to me for some reason.

Well until the timer hit zero I stay put where I can see everything around me.
