The domain of the angel she says. I stand up and look around. The domain is like a fantasy and I cannot believe myself. The sky is dark but filled with shining stars and I am standing on water. I look down and see several worlds rotating around the large white star. I tried walking around and the floor feels like water but I can stand on it. I am so amazed and think that this must be a dream but it is as real as the angel in front of me.
"Come Shinichi, walk towards me," The angel urges me to come quickly to her. She sits on her white beautiful and ornate throne, alone with her legs crossed.
I walk toward her and ask her, "What is happening right now? Where am I?"
"You are in my domain, I am called Eternity, one of the angels that oversee countless worlds and you, Hiiragi Shinichi have died but I am in need of you so I pull out your soul here, in my domain. I know that you must have questions so take your time."
Dumbfounded, I feel like my soul left my body in this situation. Wait, my soul does leave my body that is why I am standing right here. So, I died right after I finished my exam and before I could enjoy myself playing in the event. If I know that I will die that day, I should have stayed at home. I look at Eternity's blurry face and I ask her.
"What am I doing in your domain? Am I going to heaven? or is it hell? Is there even an afterlife?"
Curious, about what is happening and the reason why an angel calls upon a human to her domain?
Chuckling, the angel speaks with a smile. "Yes, there is an afterlife but sometimes, we do have to take souls from other worlds to ask for help like what is happening right now but it rarely happens. Thus, I, Eternity, am asking for your help in saving one of my worlds which is in danger from the Devil and his demon lords."
"Angels, Devil and demons, I cannot believe it but why me? There are countless others that you can ask for help." I retort back to Eternity as I still cannot see her face.
"About that, you will get the answer by yourself in due time but know that you are chosen because you are capable, Shinichi. Your fate deems so too." Eternity then stands up and walks down from her throne to stand in front of me.
"I am granting you three wishes and a class of your own choosing to help you save my world but know this, your journey will be a difficult one as I am giving you so much advantage with these wishes." The angel raises her hand and orbs of light surround us. Each orb represents a class and I can look at what kind of power within the class. "Hero, assassin, cleric, saint, wizard... these are somewhat common classes that I know of. I need to think about this a bit more."
"What are your wishes, Shinichi?" The angel asks as I am in deep thought.
What are the best wishes to quickly rescue her world? The best kind of wish is not to have any restriction in mastering skills, magic, and power regardless of what class you choose.
"Alright, I wish to not be limited by my class to master any other skills and powers."
"Understand, I will give you a gift called Unchained skill. You will not be restricted by your class to learn other classes' skills. What is your second wish?"
Alright, skills restriction is what I really hate when I first played Divine Eternal Conflict. It was a good decision that they rescind that decision and make you can learn any skills without restriction. Now, I need to think about what is the best gift based on my experience playing that game.
"Mastering skills as fast as possible is a nice wish too. Like the triple experience gained during certain events in that game." I speak to myself as I am thinking while looking into the orbs.
"Do you want 'A Great Understanding' skill? This gift sounds like what you are describing just now." Eternity said to me as she heard what I said.
"There is something like that? Can I see the description of that skill?"
[A Great Understanding]
[While learning, you will understand and master any powers, magic, and skills faster.]
[Time taken to learn and master can be varied in terms of the user's understanding.]

"I wish for A Great Understanding skill as my second wish." These two gifts will be a great help for me. I can now master a ton of skills as quickly as possible from the start but what about the 3rd wish?
My main character from that game is a sorceress. The sorceress class has the highest affinity toward all elemental magics in offense and defense and a high magic pool at the start. Not to mention my character has the gift of vampirism which adds a lot of defense stats because of the undeath buff but it also makes my character takes more damage if attacked with holy and fire attributes. But I negate the holy and fire attributes by wearing anti-holy and anti-fire armor which works great against the hero class, cleric class and other similar holy-wielding classes.
"This time, my enemies are a force that is weak against holy attacks, right?" I ask Eternity wondering about how the rules in her world work. Is it the same as the game knowledge in my mind?
"Yes, they are weak against holy but the same could be said to us as well. Outside of the elements, holy and demonic are both strong and weak against each other. It depends on the person's will of wielding the holy or demonic power but holy power is faith-based while demonic power is sacrifice-based. That is why demon lords require sacrifices to strengthen and empower themselves."
After hearing her statement, I have an overall idea of how to save this world. With both of my gifts, I can easily master all elements of magic and power but I just need one of these two types, whether I will choose holy or demonic power. Is there any class that can provide such a good foundation for me to build my class?
I ponder for a while and a certain white-gold orb comes into my sight. "Class: Templar, a warrior with the power of the angel."
[Class Name: Templar (Balance Focus)]
[Attributes]
[Physical Defense: 20 Magic Defense: 20 Holy Defense: 20 Demonic Defense: 20]
[Strength: 20 Dexterity: 20 Stealth: 20 Magic Prowess: 20]
[World Skills]
[Combat Skills]
[Aurora Sword: 20, Luminous Spear:20, Radiance Ray:20, Healing Aura:20]
[Ultimate Skills]
[Fallen Star]
"T-this class is perfect if I want to build from the ground up. Because of the balance class focus, the numbers will be evenly spread. The different magic element types will get the same defense regardless. This is much simpler than other classes like the Hero class where the magic defense has its own tree where you will get a different number for different types of elements. Not to mention that the base skills of the class are good against the demon lords and their demons." After seeing this, I get really excited and my brain goes into a creative mode where I can think of several builds from this starting class.
But, if my opponents also use holy attacks, it will be a battle of attrition and whoever wears out first will lose so I cannot rule out that concern. Thus, I will choose this class as the foundation for my build. Then again, I can learn other skills from other classes so I do not need to worry about any restrictions.
"Eternity, I choose the Templar class."
"Confirming Templar class and what is your 3rd and final wish, Shinichi?"
"But if she is here... maybe I do not need to worry about facing holy-wielding enemies..." I murmured to myself.
Thinking back, I have wasted a lot of time and money playing Divine Eternal Conflict and building up my character to be the ultimate character in that game. She is my magnum opus and I feel kind of sad if I will never be able to play her again. Let's just wish for her to be alive then.
"My 3rd wish is for my Divine Eternal Conflict character to be alive in this world that I am reincarnating."
"Understood but your characters will be born earlier than you as they are from different races and live a lot longer than you, a human."
"Alright, I understand." Well, she is an elf so I hope that I can find her as soon as I can.
After I confirm my wishes and the decision of my class. I am getting ready to go and saving on behalf of Eternity's request. "One thing, Eternity. Why I cannot see your face?"
"Well, that is because I am shy." She laughs as she inputs my decision on her console.
"Ara ara, because of your wishes, you will be born as a lowly peasant with a single mother on the outskirts of a human kingdom's wall. I hope for the best in your journey."
"Well, that's better than being a prisoner." But before I am being reborn. I ask Eternity about the location of my character. "Where do I go to find her?"
"Fate will bring you guys together so no need to worry. I will say maybe when you are aged 17?"
"Also, I can spend time in the world for a time so I will visit you so you do not feel lonely." The angel said that with a motherly tone towards me.
"Well, preparation is now done. Please stand on this rune right here."
I look at the white glowing rune right in front of her throne, then I slowly walk into it while I prepare myself for an unknown fate or reason. But, looking at the angel herself and remembering how she is asking for my help, I brace myself for an unforgettable adventure in my new life. I cannot wait to meet my character and both of us will save this world as we did in the game.
"3, 2, 1, Reincarnation process start!"
Thus, a male human baby was born on one of the major city outskirts of Basileia Kingdom in 1100 of the Magic Era (M.E)
