Well now all of that is I off the way I should probably get to work, I probably don’t need to worry about my house since Tom will probably come over and fix it later, but what are am I gonna do with this Wyvren….
I’m surprised those brats managed to hit one, these things fly rather quickly despite their size. If those brats were to fight this thing directly they’d probably die regardless of being and other worlder. After all it takes several of the lower ranks to match the higher ranks, especially the further you go. I believe it took 3 Es to match a D, 5 Ds to match a C, 10 Cs to match a B, and 20 Bs to match an A, and over 40 As to match an S.
It’s something like that, though being the same rank doesn’t mean you have the same strength, one A-Class Criminal could probably take on over 30 Bs, while a weaker A-Class might only be able to match 15 Bs.
All of these ranks, and systems are really just there to allow people to approximate the danger.
We’d normally gang up on a B-Class monster, because even if we have the ability to kill one, it’s rather difficult fighting one still. There speed is something to watch out for, they usually have powerful abilities, and their attacks could kill even us.
Though this is only because we’re quite low leveled. The highest level in this village is only around 32, while I myself am level 18. And our Personal Skills allow us to close massive gap between our levels. Though, in the end it's still rather difficult to kill B-Class Monsters.
Well onto the Wyvren, there’s no point in wasting high-quality material. But what should I do with it. I do have a RPG-base like a majority of the otherworlders, and It happens to come with a Spatial Storage but is there any point in just keeping a massive corpse in there.
It gets really annoying if you put too many items in your spatial storage, because this isn’t a game. I don’t have a GUI or anything to help me navigate through the storage, I need to either remember what I placed in there so I can instantly take it out or I have too look around.
The Spatial Storage is more like a bag that you just don’t have to carry, extremely convenient to store things, but unless you’re tidy it’s a hassle to find things. Some people even take the time to store bins, boxes, shelves, and chests inside the storage to try and keep things organized, but with all the things we stuff in there it’s a massive hassle to deal with.
So for the most part I only have a few things in mine, like shields, weapons, potions, armor, a book, food, and water.
Well I suppose I should just bring this guy over to the village store house. I walk up to the Wyvren’s corpse, and surprisingly it’s still alive. I guess you can’t underestimate the B class.
Even with a hole in it’s body, even after falling down from the sky and losing all that blood it’s still somehow alive. I can even hear a faint growling coming from the Wyvren’s body. Well, I might as well put it out of it’s misery.
.
I touch the Wyvren’s body, and close my eyes.
[Disassemble]
activate one of my Personal Skills, Disassemble. And just like it’s name, it’s an ability that allows me to completely disassemble anything I touch, and everything to whatever extent that I want. I could disassemble a rock into two smaller rocks, or I could disassemble it into a million pieces. Or I could disassemble it into two rocks of different sizes.
I could just disassemble the parts of an object like perhaps the leaves of a tree. I could just take those out and leave the rest of the tree intact, or I could disassemble it into all of it’s pieces.
And it works on nonliving things, living things, organic things, inorganic things, small things, big things, and intangible things. As long as I have enough mana, I can use it on anything. And yes, I have killed things with it already.
It’s a pretty versatile ability, befitting the rank of Second-Class according to the villages ranking system. Because everyone loves putting some form of rating on everything.
Basically the system goes like this:
You’ve got the Third-Class Personal Skills which are very limited in use, possesses a number of restrictions, or just aren’t that powerful. Third class is usually handed to combat abilities that specifically target anything from a single target, to anything to the size of an army. While Third-Class crafting skills include skills like, Cooking Mastery, or Smithing Mastery.
Then there’s your Second-Class Personal Skills which tend to have a wide variety of uses, fewer restrictions, and are naturally more powerful than the Third-Class. Combat abilities from anything from single-target to anything that could wipe out a city or fortress, though the destructive capability of a single target Second-Class skill easily surpass a Third-Classes’.
While the crafting type skills tend to be more absurd, like the ability to produce a near endless amount of food, or the ability to create some absurd armour, or weapon. They’re usually things that go beyond just mastery.
And finally you’ve got your First-Class Personal Skills, the most powerful, to most extreme, and the most cheat like abilities. They’re restrictions and uses don’t matter, after they reach a certain point of just being broken they’re just assigned this category. They can range from skills designed to kill a single person to skills that could destroy a continent. And typical skills that break any of the world's natural laws, or can destroy an entire country are classified as First-Class. This includes crafting skills.
And after including ones base, which includes your base stats, your potential, your race, and any special buffs or blessings they give you a classification.
Oh, and I have three Second-Class abilities, and a Second-Class base making me a Second-Class Otherworlder. My base has higher base stats than your average human, and my mana pool is especially large. Plus my RPG-base has the World System, which allows me to learn skills more easily, and allow me to allocate my skill points and status point as I wish.
Though It’s a bit inferior to the Hero System which has even more absurd stats, a number of easy skills right off the bat, a skill shop for the most part, and methods to learn skills practically instantly. It’s stupidly broken, though I suppose that’s why it’s a First-Class base.
Anyways, I disassemble the Wyvern's body into it’s Scales, Bones, Hide, Flesh, Organs, it’s Head, and finally it’s Magic Core. I don’t really know the lore behind it, but magic cores are something all monsters at D-Rank or Above seem to have. Anyways I grab all of the scales and the activate my second Personal Skill, [Synthesis].
Synthesis allows me to combine whatever I want, with anything I want, into anything I want. It can be a skill, a spell, a technique, a weapon, an armor, an object, or a living thing. And basically my imagination is the limit, though fortunately it will still make something even if I don’t use my imagination to shape it. Well as long as I have materials to use.
This synergies pretty well with my other ability Disassemble. Let’s use that rock example again. If I had a rock right, and I used Synthesis nothing would happen since I just have a rock. But if I were to break that rock in two with Disassemble I now have two things, and with that I can use Synthesis to form whatever I want with the rock.
Though natural whatever’s gonna come out of it will still be a rock, since the two materials I used were rocks. But I can completely change the rocks shaper into whatever I want. I can shrink it, enlarge it, make it sharp, or make it harder to a certain extent.
The end result usually depends on what you combine really, because the end result will always do one of two things. It will either retain some of the materials properties, possibly applying it to the other material. Or the synthesis will result in a new property formed from mixing two other properties.
So, as I used synthesis on the the large pile of scales before me they transform into a large black bar. I repeat this with the bones, as well as the meat, and organs.
I stuff the bar of bones, and scales as well as the magic core into my spatial storage, and I call out to my neighbour, “Richard! Can you come over here?” (Daniel)
Suddenly a large burly man appears in front of me. This is Richard, he’s almost 6 years old, and I’ve known him for two years.
He has a Second-Class base with that granted him accelerated growth and Herculean strength, so he looks like a middle aged man despite only being 6. It’s quite funny really.
He has the Third-Class ability of Teleportation, so he helps move things around in the village.
“Can you help me carry these to the storage?” (Daniel)
“Sure” (Richard)
Richard picks up the large Wyvrens head and the bar of organs, while I pick up the bar of flesh. We teleport into the massive village storehouse, which is actually quite small from the outside.
This storehouse is a sub-dimension created using a First-Class ability a long time ago, and anything in here stays fresh no matter what. And there’s so much space too.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
I put down the bar of flesh and disassemble it into its pieces enlarging it into it’s original size, and then I do the same to the bar of organs.
Afterwards we teleported out, “Thanks” (Daniel)
“No problem” (Richard)
Now, I suppose I should prepare to head out. Hmmm!?
I look over to the southern part of the village that’s closest to Astel Woods. And I quickly start dashing. My final Second-Class ability is called Absolute Intuition, and it’s self explanatory so I won’t bother explaining.
Though it isn’t a sentient ability, and it doesn’t give me any exact information. It just sends me a feeling, a gut feeling. And I just know outright what's right, and wrong, what’s bad and good.
And right now it’s telling me something's coming, something dangerous. And as I reach the edge of the village I notice several other people come running in from behind me. It’s seems quite a few otherworlders have noticed.
“Daniel!” (Richard)
“Yeah, this is bad. Get everyone in the vicinity out of here!” (Daniel)
“Right!” (Richard)
Richard leaves to help with evacuation. Damn monsters should understand how dangerous this place is.
A small kid comes running out of the woods, with his hands clasped together, “I’m sorry!” (Otherworlder Child)
And behind him all the trees are suddenly cut, and start decaying.
This is death magic!
From the forest a massive floating figure appears holding a massive scythe. It’s a skeleton composed only of it’s chest, arms and head. It’s wearing a dark robe, and it emits an eerie dark aura. And it’s red eyes that seem to emanate death stare at us.
“From the looks of it, it’s a Lich! It’s probably a Greater Lich! Danger Level: A, it’s Raid-Class! Everyone careful!” (Otherworlder Mage)
An A-Class huh, and it’s a Raid-Class as well. Raid-Class monster are something are something like a boss, they require several times the effort to subjugate than their respective rank.
And it’s an A-Class one as well. Even for us, subjugating this guy without a First-Class is gonna be a little hard.
I pull out a tower shield, from my inventory, while everyone else instantly equips themselves. We’ve got five mages, two archers, seven knights, one assassin, and two priests. Including myself, and a few others we got a total of 23 Otherworlders.
Of these twenty-three there’s 17 Second-Classes and 6 Third-Classes. This village has a large amount of Second-Classes, so we’re quite lucky.
The knights, and the assassin charge at the Greater Lich at breakneck speeds, leaving behind eight sonic booms. While the Mages and Archers launch out a large volley of high-level spells and enchanted arrows unbefitting of people of their level.
“Don’t that’s no Lich!” (Otherworlder Child)
The brat who ran out of the forest, yells from behind me. But it’s too late to top now. The group of otherworlders attacks the Lich, while simultaneously using Anti-Magic spells. Now the Lich’s Death Magic is sealed.
Eh!? Danger!?
My Intuitions starts flaring up like crazy. The brats cries out from behind me, “It’s Death’s Reaper!” (Otherworlder Child)
And as they near the Greater Lich, instead of casting a spell, it’s swings it’s massive scythe at an extreme speed.
“Mage’s Barrier!” (Daniel)
I slam my tower shield onto the ground, and activate [Synthesis].
The tower shield fuses with the ground, and extends outwards turning into a massive earthen wall shielding everything behind me as well as the mages standing atop the roof.. But as the shock wave from the scythe strikes the wall, a large chunk of the wall is cut off and starts falling towards me.
[Disassemble]!
I activate, Disassemble, and destroying the large stone wall, and the falling stone disappears. The otherworlders who charged at the Reaper, have had their bodies blown back, cut in half, while some of them have lost an arm or a leg.
“Tch, Mages! Priests!” (Daniel)
The mages atop, cast teleportation magic bringing the warriors back and allow the priests to use their absurd healing magic bringing back their limbs.
Damn it, this isn’t A-Class! Even A-Class isn’t this absurd, this is S-Class! A S-Class Raid Monster!
Ahhaha, no wonder my Intuition’s been flaring up so much. Even with all these Otherworlders, without a First-Class we won’t be able to match an S-Class monster.
Damn it, where are those bastards! I can’t do anything right now, It’s too strong to Disassemble, and I don’t have any combat skills. God damnit Intuition I’m not gonna run!
Hmmm!? Ahahahaha, Intuition just game an absurd plan.
A Second-Class ability that nears a First-Class ability, one that finds the optimal route no matter the scenario huh….
I’m not the king do of person that trusts their gut very often, so I hope you’re right you damn cheat skill!
“Richards! You done yet!?” (Daniel)
“Yeah all non-combatants are in the storehouse.” (Richards)
“You better be on standby to teleport all of us out of here! Mage’s prepare the biggest thing you’ve got, it doesn’t matter the scale or the size, just launch the strongest skill in your arsenal. Don’t even worry about the mana cost!” (Daniel)
“Do you have a plan?” (Otherworlder Mage)
“Yeah, sort of…..” (Daniel)
“Well it’s better than nothing, let’s just say this is your going away present. Alright guys! Let’s stall!” (Otherworlder Knight)
“Tch, cheapskate” (Daniel)
All the melee combatants began assaulting the Reaper once more, while the archers fire everything they’ve got. The priests use up all their mana to maintain shields, and constantly heal those reckless bastards down over there.
I use Disassemble on a large part of the ground and synthesis it into a pillar underneath my feet. I rise up to the top of the house, and use the same combination to make a platform to a house's roof top where all the mages have gathered.
They’re all casting one big spell after another. I wonder if this will really work….
“Daniel we’re ready!” (Otherworlder Mage)
“Fire on my mark!” (Daniel)
Let’s hope this works…..
“Everyone get the hell out of there.” (Daniel)
Richard’s teleports in the midst of the chaos and teleports everyone out. Ah man it’s a really a mess down there. Too think all those limbs are just from eight people.
I’m surprised none of them died, let’s see the archers and priests are teleported out, and Richard stands behind us.
“Fire!” (Daniel)
“Empyrean Inferno!” (Mage 1)
“Godly Lightning!” (Mage 2)
“Banquet of the Dragon God!” (Mage 3)
“Sphere of Annihilation!” (Mage 4)
“A Thousand Virtuous Souls!” (Mage 5)
A massive pillar of fire rises from the ground, a total of seven dragons formed out of each element are start flying, a massive cloud of black lightning strikes, an ominous black sphere is shoot, and a thousand white spears, swords, and arrows of magic form in the air are launched all at the Reaper.
I hold my hand out, [Mass Synthesis]!
I heard a loud ringing sound, it’s the notification from the World System that I’m completely out of mana. But I see all the spells disappear and coalesce into one massive blank sphere above the reaper.
“Teleport us out of here!” (Daniel)
I really hope that worked, that’s probably the best we could do without a First-Class otherworlder.
….
After waiting a full minute, we all walk out of the store house, there seems to be nothing of the village left….
Even the small store house is just a dimensional door, standing in the middle of nowhere.
I look ahead, and I notice that the reapers still alive! Shit, how did it survive all that!
“You guys should have used single target abilities.” (???)
I turn my head, and notice a beautiful blue-haired beauty floating in the air. Her very presence turned the air a freezing cold. And I’m not talking about the atmosphere, it is literally freezing cold right now.
She’s Serith, one of the First-Class Otherworlders, the Queen of the Ever Frozen Ice. Her First-Class Personal Ability is [Ice Age]. And she has a Second-Class base, as well as a few other Second-Class abilities like Flight, and Absolute Ice Element Affinity.
The Reaper looks over at us, it’s eyes seem to have dimmed quite a bit. And it lets loose a mighty shriek.
“Be quiet you!” (Serith)
Serith held a hand out towards, and suddenly the Reapers shrieking stopped. Is covered in white, and blue before it’s suddenly encased in a massive block of ice.
That is the ability Ice Age, the ability that freezes everything.
And this is the absurdity of the First-Class, something not even a combination of dozens of Otherworlders can match.
