Chapter 87: New Class: ???
[Pull me!]
The sign located right next to the lever used to spin the wheel was still there, inviting Stark to follow its order.
He looked up, taking in sight the giant wheel with all the name of the classes that could be picked: Magus, Exorcist, Beast Tamer, Warrior, Archer, Assassin, Soul Wielder, Incubus and Alchemist...
Domination was ruled out as he had already unlocked it the first time he span the wheel, so it wasn't even available.
[9 classes available to unlock, please spin the wheel!]
'...' Stark sighed before reaching out to the lever and pulling it down, resulting in the wheel to begin spinning extremely fast.
As the wheel spun, Stark's eyes followed the classes, trying to glimpse what one might be the one he would get.
It was completely random, and it was the red arrow at the top that would decide, but he couldn't help but be nervous: this would change his entire approach to fighting.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the wheel began to slowly stop spinning.
~FWISH~
It went from "Magus" to "Soul Wielder" to "Beast Tamer", and the more it slowed down, the more aura could be seen around it as the wheel focused its power: only it knew the class that would be picked.
~FWISH...~
The wheel was now on the verge of stopping as the red arrow went from class to class, and suddenly, it settled on a specific class, one he hadn't considered before.
[The wheel has stopped!]
Stark immediately looked up as it was the final verdict, there was no change from now on.
And the class he got was... ALCHEMIST?
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the class: Alchemist!]
'I mean... sure?'
[You can spin the wheel again at level 50!]
Not wasting a second, he checked that class's description.
...
[Class: Alchemist]
[Description:] Masters of potions and of random experiments, the alchemists are able to brew potions using their precise hands and sell them or even use them in battle themselves (although watch out for side effects), this may seem like an average class, but with the good ingredients, you can pretty much do anything.
[Class Effect:] Now able to brew potions with different effects depending on the ingredients
[Class Flaw:] You cannot use any sort of weapon, you have to rely on your potions.
[Basic Skills:] Alchemist; Potion Crafting
...
'Huh... I mean, I guess it makes sense, but I wonder how I'll be able to make potions without the real equipment,' Stark wondered, and decided to check out the two new skills he had gotten.
...
[Skill: Alchemist]
[Type:] Basic Class Skill
[Level:] 1
[Description:] This is just the basic skill for alchemists that confirms you are one of them, it increases your craftsmanship skills and precision while making potions and using 'Potion Crafting', the higher your level, the strongest your potions will be.
[Note: Also this skill allows you to check what could be an ingredient so that you pick it out, very useful to not waste time on ingredients that don't work on any potion!]
...
[Skill: Potion Crafting]
[Type:] Basic Class Skill
[Level:] 1
[Description: Well, it's in the name...]
[Note: The higher the level, the stronger your potions become, finding potions depends completely on you, you can buy recipes, or find them out by yourself while experimenting!]
...
He was in the 'Memory Museum', with the possibility to fight all the bosses he had previously defeated with an infinite amount of lives at his disposable, meaning that he could test out his new ability.
But he would need to figure out how to be an alchemist first.
Domination was great since it was just 'haha punch punch', but now he would actually need to do things and prepare.
He couldn't deny though that this was probably the best mix of classes ever beside probably beast tamer or incubus, since he would continue fighting with his fists while using potions to get effects that aid him in battle.
He was frankly excited... and he couldn't help but smile.
"Potion Crafting!" he immediately decided to use his skill.
And suddenly...
A panel appeared in front of him.
'Huh...'
[Do you want to summon your brewing station?]
[Brewing station level: 1]
[Y/N]
'Sure, I guess,' he shrugged and clicked on the Y option.
The panel immediately disappeared, and out of thin air appeared a wooden table in decent shape with a small cauldron placed on top of it, as well as a brewing stand.
But this wasn't how he would be able to make potions, these two objects were solely here to make sure the process go smoothly.
Instead, another panel appeared in front of a confused Stark.
It wasn't crimson, blue, or dark, instead it was brown of color, mimicking the texture of the wood.
[Welcome to the Potion Crafting panel!]
[You have... 3 recipes available as a start!]
These two window disappeared after a few seconds, and another one appeared, but this time it was truly the one he had been looking for.
It contained the images of three potions, each inside of a crimson glass with a liquid inside of it.
With no hesitation in his actions, Stark clicked on one of the potion images.
...
[Potion of Strength]
[Effect: Increases the user's strength stat by 10% for 5 minutes!]
And below was a list of ingredients he couldn't understand how to get.
[Ingredients: x2 Wolf Teeth, x1 Ogre Ear, x1 Strength Flower...]
'I guess I need to go to some sort of market to acquire those...'
[Note: Ingredients can be acquired through exploring different rifts, it is always good to pick any material you encounter in case you need them later, many alchemists go to great length to acquire just one ingredient needed for a potion, and they also take commissions from classifiers!]
'How about just buying them from the trading market?' Stark shrugged, this seemed like a much better solution.
[Lame, plus the ingredients there are mostly expensive when they are of higher quality, and you won't find incredible ingredients to discover powerful potions there since some are unique or bought instantly!]
'Oh well,' Stark shrugged and immediately moved to check the two other potions that were available for him to craft.
...
[Potion of Speed]
[Effect: Increases the user's speed stat by 10% for 5 minutes!]
...
[Potion of Regeneration]
[Effect: Heals 1000HP to the user, effect is instant but it does not heal severed limbs!]
...
'That last one is very good if I can stack them,' Stark thought.
He didn't really think much of it, but he had basically the best skill ever for this class: [Spatial Inventory], since he could store an infinite amount of ingredients or potions and take them back whenever he wanted.
This meant that he truly had the potential to be a master alchemist, all the while fighting close range thanks to [Domination]!
But first... he wanted to sell all his unneeded equipment, and stock up on ingredients and food.
The reason?
Well... it's obvious!
Basically... Stark planned to train like hell inside the Memories Museum.
Train until he could at least take down both Malakar and Judicator at the same time... no... he wanted to take down all 6 bosses at the same time!
He had an unlimited amount of tries after all... =)!
'Well... let's get this over with,' he slowly went toward the black door, which was located at the start of the hall.
And so he went through it, ready to deal with the outside world to begin his training.
