Theory crafting

“Lets see what I have in my bank account” Jim pondered as he was logging into his laptop. “Only 3,000 USD dollars is available in my bank account after paying for tuition.” Jim was surprised that there was this much money considering that he was an only child who did not have any relatives supporting his education. After a sad car accident, Jim lost both his parents and was surviving in government foster care until he turned 18.

“If its around this time in 2024 tech stocks should be about to have a good run. Lets go all in and leverage my position and borrow up to 50 times”.

“This should help fund for my future expenses and fund my college tuition since I don’t have a play to stay.” Jim pondered for a while until looking at websites when the game Champion will come out.

“So the game will be out this in 5 days. This should allow me pre register for my account and allow me to profit on my investment”

After three days, Jim was able to turn 3,000 USD into 150,000. This was enough to fund him through college and start investing in other companies for future ideas.

“Now lets login and register for the game”

After logging in, a new message was awaiting for him.

Thank you for choosing Champion, we will try to meet all of your expectations.

“Well that was a let down” After looking at his blank character profile he noticed a skill name. “Well that’s strange, how do I have a skill before the game started. Well lets click on the description and see what this skill is.

***Skill: Ancient Mana techniques: skill type: Growth/unknown***

Sera has bestowed upon you her mana technique which rivals mystical heroes npcs. Your affinity with mana will increase with your life rating and will always be one tier higher than your life rating. Due to your low life rating you can only access the first stage of mana cultivation.

Stage one: Mana Needling

Stage two: Low tier mana manipulation

Stage three: Medium tier mana manipulation

Stage four: User life rating too low to view

Stage five: User life rating too low to view

“I have never seen a mana technique before. This is unheard of in the future champion. I better keep this a secret until then”

“Lets see, how should I build my character. I could go for an aura build since each clone can stack buffs and debuffs but this build gets weaker later in the game due to buff stacking limitations boss debuff limitations. How about a physical ninja focusing on shadow ninja skills… but this has limitations on high mana consumption. Well, since I have mana techniques this could solve some limitations”

After much thought, Jim decided to go with a magic ninja. Although a ninja class was rarely played his future, no one even tried to make a magic ninja build due to the high cost of magic spells. The cost to execute each ninja skill is three times that of mages with lower damage and efficiency, so no one really payed any attention or research into this subclass.

“well I still have some time before I can choose my class at level 10. Until then I have some things to take care of before being kicked out of the Beginner zone**”

**For reference the beginner zone is only available for 10 days, after ten days, the player will be kicked out of the beginner zone.
