Today Zachariah turned 16. The day of his awakening. Like everyone else, he had trained and waited for this day. Today he gained access to the World System. Today his life was decided, as he earned his class today. Nobody knows how the system chooses classes, except that many different factors matter. He had trained for his entire life for this moment. One known factor that had a major effect on class choice was location, an example being that if you awakened in a mountain your class had a higher chance of having to do with the Earth. He had his awakening in about 2 hours. Some background of how he got to where he is now; when he was 12, he started his apprenticeship as an explorer under his master Rohan. They had followed an ancient record of a civilization destroyed by a neverending arcane storm. They found it just last week; the reason for the search is that the stronger the environment and the more unique it is, the better the class will be. He searched for this place specifically to get a strong class. He planned to go to a bigger city with a dungeon and find a party to join, perhaps after some training in his new class. He left his hometown of Manoka to go to the storm after saying his goodbyes. His parents wished him luck and he left to approach the storm. He wore thick leather armor and a full helmet, hopefully it was enough to protect him from the violent storm. As he got closer, he realized it wouldn’t be enough, but it was too late. He would take the pain, and push to the center. 20 minutes before he awakened. The time ticked down. He took another step. The time ticked further. He took another step. He started to feel the pain. He felt the magic ice and lightning strike him. He could see the center, but he was forced to a knee by a massive strike of lightning. He was bleeding heavily, yet he took another step. His mind was going blank from the pain, and he collapsed in the center of the storm.

Welcome Zachariah
Avatar of Storm
When Zachariah awoke, he was still in the middle of the storm, but he no longer felt pain. The lightning no longer struck him, the ice no longer pelted him, and the pure arcane magic washed over him like a mist. He was incredibly excited! He had never even heard of a legendary class before, well, except the Hero class, but that class hasn’t been seen in years. With his newfound power, he could now explore the ruins without damage from the storm, as he currently was barely feeling more than a light wind. First though, he checked his new class and his stats.

Holy Belev! Those were some massive stats per level. The basic Warrior gave 10 stats per level while he was getting a whopping 57. Well then. Zachariah supposed it wasn’t a legendary class for nothing. He could feel the power at his fingertips. He could feel the mana flowing through him. He could move it like another limb. For the next few minutes, he practiced his newfound magic. After his adrenaline disappeared, he began to limp back to his temporary camp where his master was. After arriving back to the camp, and dealing with his worried master, he fell asleep. Waking up to the sun beaming through his tent, he popped up excitedly. Ouch! He groaned out in pain. He still definitely took some damage. He noticed bandages around a lot of his body, Rohan must have applied them. Zachariah could not wait to tell his parents about everything and do some magic! After explaining everything to his astounded master, he decided to explore the now-available ruins while practicing his magic. Before he left, he saw Rohan walk up to him. He started talking, “You plannin’ on checking out those ruins? If you are, grab anything that might have some historic value and take plenty of notes! There could be some real big discoveries hidden in this storm.”
Zachariah responded resolutely, “Of course Sir, I will be back soon!”
He packed a bag of tools and some snacks and began toward the ruins. The closer he got to the storm, the more rejuvenated he felt; it must be a consequence of his class. He continued practicing his magic, and the practice paid off soon enough.

With increased motivation, he began drawing everything he saw and collecting anything he could find, including tomes and books. Luckily, his pack was a minor magic item and could hold plenty of items. After a few hours of exploring, mapping, collecting, and leveling his skill, Zachariah made it back safely and walked over to his master’s building with lots of new stuff and a new level 3 Arcane Manipulation skill. Rohan was actually one of the most respected historians and explorers on the entire continent, and he could see why, as the entire building was chock full of artifacts, items, maps, books, and theories. Inside the main area, he saw Rohan sitting next to a table with a few books on it. Rohan noticed him, “This is all we know about the history of the area. We know the Arcane Eye, that’s the storm, appeared roughly 600 years ago, and there have been about 3 unique civilizations in the area. But first, let us see what you found!”
Zachariah placed all he found on the other end of the table and they began sorting it. They analyzed and labeled the items, connected them to each other and the books they already had, and began translating the books. Rohan looked at him and said something that Zachariah was very excited about, “Let me teach you some spells.” Rohan showed him how to cast a translation spell and an appraisal spell. It took some practice to manipulate his magic toward the books, but after some practice, he copied down all the translated words onto a new page and learned new things about them. After a day's work of learning, he received an interesting message

Apparently, it works retroactively, as the knowledge he learned before his awakening was taken into effect. Now he remembers his history a lot better. He and Rohan gained significant knowledge about the area, and Rohan was already drafting a paper to send to the Historical Society. They had even found an item for Zachariah to use himself, though Rohan had to appraise it, it was too advanced for him for some reason.
Zoran’s Staff (Common?)

It had a question mark. Rohan had never heard of anything like that before. Either way, It was interesting to note that items also have levels, used to gauge their power. They can be leveled up through use and crafting skills. After a night of rest, it was time for him to travel to the nearby city of Flavion. They had a dungeon and an adventurer’s guild, the perfect place to level up. First, he walked to Manoka and brought his parents up to speed. Then, he packed for his trip. Unfortunately, his parents couldn’t come and neither could Rohan. After a few goodbyes and promises of visits, he began his journey. It was roughly a three-day walk, meaning he had plenty of time to practice his new skills! He had enough supplies to last the trip, so he wasn’t worried about running out of food. Throughout the trip, he repeatedly drained his MP trying as many things as possible. He gained a lot of skills and gained a new sense of control of his magic. He also killed a few creatures such as a rabbit and even a boar, which gave him two levels. He felt incredibly powerful, able to blast trees down with his storm magic. Hopefully, that power translated into killing monsters
