You spend a long, long time just staring at your inventory. It's empty but for one item:

[Soul Compass (soulbound)]

[Rarity: Unique

Uses remaining: unlimited

Description

Where will eternity take you?

This item will help you chart your course…

Set (1/3)

Soul Compass (1/1)

?? (0/1)

?? (0/1)

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Set effect

2/3 – 50% reduced void vertigo

3/3 –100% reduced void vertigo]

After what would be an age to a mortal, you eventually stir. "Void vertigo," you murmur to yourself. "That figures."

You shudder just thinking back to it, and long for the protection those [??] items promise. Is there a way to find out more? But however you try, the System does not offer up any more data.

Interacting with the System comes naturally to you now. It's like you somehow had the perception and command channels, and once you figured out how to access them (more by accident than design, honestly) the rest came easily. System Integration is quite good that way.

You try to activate the [Soul Compass], but however you may try, the only thing it triggers is a System message:

[Notification]

[This item cannot be used here.

Missing requirements

World [0/1], True North [0/1]]

After dwelling on your near-barren inventory for way longer than strictly necessary, and triggering the ever-same System notification an approximate 4,833 times, you eventually shift your attention to another screen:

[Choose A Class]

[You have been granted access to several Class options, limited by map and soul level. Class cannot be changed while on any given map, and same map cannot be replayed.
