Novel Bin Chapter 21 - Sage Candidates
After Samantha left, Alex kept thinking about many possible traits Samantha could have received just based on her going for a beast-tamer route. "Hey, Ezekiel, what hero class trait do you think did Samantha received?" Instead of thinking hard by herself, Alex asked for Ezekiel\'s help.
Ezekiel tried to think of any possible trait Samantha and Zach may have received. But he can only think of a few feasible ones. "It\'s hard to figure out what Samantha received since I only have your hero class trait as my reference."
Ezekiel then realized that there is one more trait he can use as a reference.
"I can also use mine as a reference, but the trait I received is somewhat different from the trait that you three received." Ezekiel wanted to brag about the special trait he received with Alex. However, he can\'t find an opportunity to brag to Alex, with her being so engrossed with Samantha and her uncle\'s hero class traits.
"Huh?? You also received a hero class trait?" Alex is dumbfounded.
How come everyone around her is getting special traits one after the other. Even Ezekiel received one when it should be impossible for him to have one, unless the people in the hall of fame are not telling the truth about their ranks. "Don\'t tell you also lied to me when you said that you did not hit the one-hour mark and weren\'t able to enter the hall of fame?"
"Are you even listening? I said! my trait is somewhat different than your trait." Ezekiel raised his voice a little. He could scold Alex without any problem, since she can\'t beat him up right now.
"Why are you shouting? I can hear you loud and clear!"
"Sorry, I am just upset being ignored all this time. You don\'t need to shout back, don\'t you?" Alex\'s intimidating demeanor always gets him no matter what kind of situation they are in. "Anyway, my trait is not a one of a kind like yours. According to my A.I., one out of ten thousand people has received this trait. The people get to be chosen, depending on their compatibility with all of the races." While explaining to Alex, he moved on to the weapon selection already. He casually picked the human race, since Alex can\'t choose any other race. He promised to watch her back this time, after all.
"So, what kind of trait did you receive?" Alex asked. Now that she thinks about it, this game contains a lot of new things she doesn\'t know about and hides many secrets from its players.
Maybe other players are also receiving different traits apart from theirs.
"If you guys received hero class, mine is called the sage candidate. The requirement to acquire it is quite different from yours. Anyone can get it if they have a 100% affinity on all 100 races, but it is still pretty rare. Anyway, what benefits do you think I received for this one?" Ezekiel asked to make Alex a little annoyed.
"Stop wasting time and get to the point already. Everyone is surely done creating characters. They most likely started doing tutorials and quests."
"Calm down, ok? It\'s not like wasting a few minutes will make you lose to everyone else. You even received an experience gained multiplier as your advantage. What\'s there to be worried about?" Ezekiel felt pleased listening to Alex\'s annoyed voice. "Anyway, all sage candidates will receive two times mana regeneration. Everyone will be getting the same trait, but my A.I. said that anyone can upgrade it when someone truly becomes a sage."
"I think that\'s a pretty strong trait if you pick a good race and weapon, doesn\'t it." Alex thinks that even though Ezekiel\'s trait is incomparable to hers. It can become a very great trait if paired with races and weapons that require a lot of mana. If Ezekiel paired it with a mage, a summoner, or similar to those. He will become a very great ally since he can use his skill without having any problem with his mana.
"What a waste if only you can pick other races aside from the human race. I can fully take advantage of the 100% affinity for all races and pick the perfect race for the both of us." Ezekiel only felt pain remembering the perfect races he could have picked.
"It is such a waste. I look so good on the hologram mirror with the other race when I tried how I look on the other race." He looks so good on others that it is such a shame to pick the human race. Recalling how he looked like as a vampire race, the dragon race, his looks at the angel\'s race is the best thing he has seen.
Ezekiel imagined how Alex would have looked like as an Angel. How beautiful would she have looked like, wearing dazzling white battle armor accompanied with a pure light aura, and four captivating wings protruding on her back.
"Sadly, I can only pick the human race. I think that the unique trait of the human race is too lacking compared to other races. It was as if the game itself is asking the players not to play as a human." Alex can only lament silently looking at the hologram mirror in front of her on how she would have looked like as a vampire.
The floating hologram in front of her was wearing a scarlet-colored dress made out of lace. The cut of the dress is perfectly emphasizing her mesmerizing waistline, and the high slit exposing her seductive legs. It was so bewitching she can\'t believe that the person she\'s looking at is her.
"What are you even complaining about? You already have two experience multiplier as an advantage." Ezekiel can\'t believe that Alex is still complaining with what she got.
"Back to what we are talking about earlier if I use your trait and my trait as a reference. I can only think of Samantha\'s trait being an experience multiplier for her beast since she\'s going for the beast-tamer route." He thought a lot of traits Samantha might have gotten, but that is the closest he can think of. "Anyway, don\'t think too much about it. There must be some kind of reasons why they aren\'t telling us what they received."
"I guess you\'re right. I know that daddy is just teasing. It\'s just that I am a little surprised that Samantha hid her trait from me." Alex muttered.
"You guys barely know each other for a week, and Samantha just started opening up for us. Just give her some time." Ezekiel comforted.
