Terra Nova 4 Chapter 4: Innate Talents Ii

What was unknow to human race, until finding territory orb search ability, was that every human had at least B-Rank in one of four basic cla.s.ses, so Rank in basic cla.s.s wasn't that uncommon. Only way to pick a cla.s.s was to go to a city center or to go to a orb of a territory that you were citizen of. Fact about being able to make territory was unknown untill three weeks into this new world, people only took cla.s.ses in cities. One of important features of IT(Innate Talent) was that it actually fastened your EXP and IP gain, if you were D-Rank than you would get 5% more EXP, if you were C-Rank than that meant you would get 10% more EXP and so on, this also implied for IP gain. Because of not being able to pick best suited cla.s.s, due to not knowing their innate talents, humanity's potentional was greatly wasted. Most humans only had C-Rank in cla.s.s they picked. Only those that were lucky to pick their best suited cla.s.s or people that searched their innate talents before picking a cla.s.s were using their maximum potentional. There was only 3-5% of humans that actually searched their IT, most of these people were just individuals that didn't make it to cities under 48 hourse and had to hole up somewhere from monsters and use IP to buy food and water to survive. Alex knew of importance of this information and how much humanity will benefit from it, but he just didn't have way to share it.

"Okay Mia, put your hand on a orb."

▪ Huh? Wait what. Is someone joking with me? She actually has Priest cla.s.s, i'm not seeing things right? d.a.m.n, my sister is amazing, i mean i did expect something good but Priest i did not." Priest was one of rarest cla.s.ses, they were needed in basically every battle, with them you wouln't need to waste IP on health potions, and also didn't need to worry about making a opening to be able to drink them.

"You are increadibly amazing my little sister, hahaha. You have one of most important cla.s.ses in this world, and also have Rank in it. You should take Priest cla.s.s, you will be increadibly important to the team." Even if she had worst possible potentional in whole human race Alex wouldn't look at her any diffrently.

"Okay i will. I'm so glad i will actually have strenght to protect you brother. Hehe" What silly girl, she actually thinks she needs to protect her older brother Alex.

"Hey Alex it seems like Priest has 2 sub-cla.s.ses which one should i pick Protector or Healer?"

Spells for Priest cla.s.s were split in Aoe(Area of Effect, healing of everyone in targeted area) and Single-target. Then these spells were split in immidiate cast time spells and with time casting needed. If Single-target and Aoe spells were of same level single-target will always heal more, even with a level diffrence, if diffrence wasn't too big same would happen. Protector was one of 2 sub-cla.s.ses of Priest, it mainly focused on casting barriers and shields, those spells focused on slow healing the target while protecting it from any damage. Healer was, just as it's name suggested, sub-cla.s.s that focus on large healing rather than shielding.

"I'm actually not sure what you should pick, your Innate Talent increases your healing by 20%. Basic idea is that Protector focuses on casting barriers and shields while slow healing and Healers heal already done damage rather than protecting someone from it. With your Innate Talent you can choose whichever you want."

"Well i don't want any of you to sustain any damage at all so choosing is pretty obviouse. Actually, wait, what if we get sneak attacked, or maybe someone falls, or maybe even if we meet someone thats in critical condition and must be immidetly healed. Considering all of this i think Healer is better option, what do you think?"

"It's up to you, ultimatly you are the one that will have to use it not me."

"Alright i decided, i will become Healer."

"After you pick a cla.s.s you will be able to see your status screen, there you can check your stats and starter skill."

"Okay." After flash of light went in her body she now had a cla.s.s.

Only ones that were left to pick a cla.s.s were Adam, Ace and Alex. It was now Adam's turn.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Name: Adam Wood]

[Innate Talents]

■Mage

▪ B-Rank - Increase of lightning damage for 15%

■Warrior

▪ D-Rank - Increase in attack speed for 5%

■Archer

▪ C-Rank - Increase in attack speed for 10%

■Pugilist

▪ C-Rank - 10% increased damage in body enhancing skills.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

▪Well, unfortunatly he doesn't have very good potentional, at least he got affinity with lightining element. Well he will be stronger than most with my knowledge and considering that average will be C-Rank. If we really do get that item i will give it to Adam.▪

Adam highest IT was B-Rank. Which all humans had, but even if everyone had it, most people will have cla.s.s with C-Rank, so he was above average and will definitly be strong if Alex used his knowledge to help him.

"I suggest taking a Mage."

"Oh, Mage." Dissapointment could be heard from his voice, he wanted to run into the enemies. Which most Mage sub-cla.s.ses just didn't give chance to do. "Can you tell me what is my Innate rank and what it does?"

"It's B-Rank, you have 15% increased damage in lightning element."

"I see, man i will have to work so hard to be able to keep up with you guys, Rez has S-Rank, and Ashely and Mia have rare cla.s.ses." Said Adam with excited voice, but Alex knew it had saddnes behind it.

"Every cla.s.s has it's strenghts and disadventages, you can subst.i.tute for talent with brain, experience and hard work. Now let me explain basic idea of Mage cla.s.s to you."

"Mage cla.s.s has more sub-cla.s.ses than any other. Mage is split into Fire Mage, Water Mage, Lightning Mage, Earth Mage and Wind Mage, these were the ones everyone could get, but there are also rare sub-cla.s.ses, every cla.s.s had those, some of them are Shadow Mage, Holy mage and so on, with strongest of them all being Creation Mage. Most skills for Mages were ranged but there are also some skills that could enchance your close combat. One most suited for you is Lightning Mage. You should pick it. "

Creation Mage was strongest sub-cla.s.s of Mage cla.s.s. Creation Mages had ability to make permenant changes in the world, for exemple at lower levels they could shape earth into the spike or make a wall with it that would stay there until being destroyed. They were best construction workers. But what was really special about them was ability to make their own skills, they could make all sorts of skills even with mixing other elements, with each added element difficulty would go up and required IP to get it after creating it would go up. Basic elements are fire, earth, water, lightning and wind and they could use all of them. It was possibly even strongest cla.s.s one could have.

"Alright, at least lightning sounds fun."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex only had one somewhat logical explenantion about how System knew words like taser, he gueesed that System probably searched Earth's culture before teleporting humanity here, it would also explain how System was in human language.

"Ace, come."

"I'm nervouse about this, hope it's something good." After hoping for best he put his hand on the Orb.

"Ohh, not bad kid, you have Rank potentional in Warrior cla.s.s and also have quite rare boost. You have increased penetration, this ranges from increasing armor penetration to magic shield penetration, it's increadibly useful boost."

"Nice! I was hoping for Warrior too!" Ace was extremly happy for this. If he has strenght than he can protect Mia, and who knows maybe she will even see him in diffrent light after becoming strong.

"You cheeky brat you might actually be useful now." Ashley was making fun of her little brother. But he was to happy to care about her comments.

"I'm glad for you. You should take Spearman sub-cla.s.s, spear already has good penetration and if you pair it with your IT you will become monster in a future."

"Than i will do that! Thank you for helping me sir!"

"Hahahaha, don't call me sir i'm too young for that, just call me Alex." ▪ This kid is not so bad, i will try to make him as strong as possible, but man, hahaha he just called me a sir.▪ Alex had positive opinion about Ace, he was just going to take care of him because he was younger brother of one of his best friends, but now after showing his grat.i.tude he himself also wanted to help him.

"Okay well it's time for me."
