Description:

The [Dark Knight] class. One of the primary evolution options for the special [Squire] class.

This brutal class relies more on destructive force compared to the other 4 original class evolutions for [Squire]. [Dark Knight] gives the user a stronger affinity for swords as a starter, which the [Dark Knight] can expand by obtaining special weapon proficiency skills for other types of equipment. To keep track of all the possible weapons, the [Dark Knight] will be granted a Storage-type skill at one point.

The class also makes use of their low Karma for increased damage, or by using other methods to increase the [Dark Knight]'s damage output. The class, unfortunately, lowers one's HP status' growth, but the strongest of [Dark Knights] can compensate for this with HP-stealing effects.

Finally, a [Dark Knight] has access to even magic, to a certain degree. It is one of the few classes to obtain the rare [Aether Magic], a skill that allows the user to perform magic spells without any attributes. It is classified as a "Book of Worlds" magic skill. While this class can easily evolve into a Warrior-line class when it advances to the Master tier, but thanks to this affinity for magic, it can also advance into a Magician-line class.
