Amidst the fray of the battle, I tapped into a new strength that I didn't know I had. It was like someone or something gave me a plethora of blessing to reach a goal I never knew I had. Although time had slowed down to a stand still, I still felt the heat and thrill of the battle. However my eyes beheld a peculiar sight,
Congratulations!
Due to your extraordinary accomplishments and feats, you have unlocked a
hidden rare class!
Would you like to view it at this time?
"A hidden rare class? Show me it!"
Without a moments hesitation, I called for the Blessing to reveal what I had unlocked. Suddenly, a green message manifested before me and read:
You have unlocked the rare class: [Esper]
It is recommended that you evolve to continue gaining EXP!
Is it that easy to evolve with the Blessing? And what the hell does an "Esper," do?
I demanded the evolution tree to open, "Show me this Esper class!"
A strange window with some sort of tree-like structure adorned in small glistening lights appeared in front of me. At the bottom of the tree-like structure were hexagonal buttons, the first one read, "MAGE," and it had 4 branched out paths that sprouted from it; they were all connected to the MAGE button by some glowing line.
The other 3 buttons were, "Mage Apprentice", "Electromancer", "Spellblade", then there was one abnormally large purple button all the way on the far right side that read, "Esper".
"Is this class really that special? It doesn't sound good at all?" I then examined the purple button and saw a details option appear. I decided to check the details and this is what it read:
"Esper: The elect few who awakened the Sixth Sense, and have treaded within the Samsara."
"Walking within the Samsara has awakened your Sixth Sense and made you aware of the Unseen World around you. Whether you use this power for good or evil depends on you, but God so help us if you choose the latter.
Would you like to evolve into class [Esper]?
[Yes] or [No]
"That's all it's gonna tell me? What am I supposed to do with this?"
I noticed around that time started to slowly go back into motion, it was slow but also quite noticeable. I had to make a decision now, or else I probably won't get the chance later!
"Ah to freaking hell with it! Yes, make me into an Esper!"
The Player has chosen the class, [Esper]
It was then that I felt a sharp and piercing pain throb in my chest and head, "Gyah, what's happening to me!" It felt like some sort of dormant power was erupting inside of me, my entire body felt strange; it felt like I can feel the world around me!
Congratulations! You have unlocked the following:
New Attribute!
- Spirit (ST)
New Skills!
Spirit Arts: Command Spirit (100ST)
Spirit Arts: Heal Spirit (Cost: 25ST/sec)
Spirit Arts: Esper's Domain (Cost: 250ST)
New Titles!
- Esper
New Passives!
- Sixth Sense
After my throbbing headache went away, I read all my new skills. "Holy crap what is this!? Spirit arts? Sixth Sense!? This looks pretty damn important!" I peered around my skills and read what they all did.
Heal Spirit: Heals a portion of health to any target Spirit.
Esper's Domain: Creates a field of Spirit that enhances all summoned, controlled or friendly Spirits, and debilitates all hostile Spirits for a duration.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
(Duration: 45 seconds) (Cooldown: 5 minutes)
Command Spirit: Allows the user to control a Spirit by will for a duration.
(Duration: 60 seconds) (Can be refreshed)
"Domain and Command Spirit may come in handy, but what's the point of Heal Spirit? Would I need to heal Spirits often or something?"
A screen message then appeared out of nowhere:
Attention!
You have [40] unused Perk Points!
It is recommended to use them!
"Crap I seriously forgot about that too! Open the menu!" I called out.
A large blue message window appeared before me, it showed my current stats:

"Wow what the heck happened to my Sense!? Is that a product of becoming an Esper!?" It was no wonder that I could feel everything! My sensing abilities were completely spiked above everything! And not only that, but I also see that I have a ton of Spirit as well!
I pondered hard on how to use the perk points, because once you use them, that's it!
"What should I upgrade? Since I have a bit of time, I better use it..."
"As of right now, my best bet will be levelling up my magic and strength. Since I'm not too familiar with the other stuff yet." I decided to place 10 points into both strength and intelligence each.
Strength: 18
Intelligence: 23
This also upgraded my inventory and my mana by quite a bit too.
Inventory: 170
MP: 230
You have [20] Perk Points left!
"Let's see here... What else should I add?" I pondered between two things, either add 10 points into Vitality, or add 10 points into Luck. You can't really go wrong with either, having a little extra of both is always good.
"Wait I think I got it!" I then added 10 into Vitality and 5 into Luck.
Vitality: 15
Luck: 10
This caused my HP and SP to increase accordingly:
HP: 145
SP: 115
It felt like LIFE was poured into me, I even felt more energetic too!
You have [5] Perk Points left!
"Where should I spend the last 5?" After some careful consideration on where to put my remaining points, I think the best place would be...
"Screw it, let's get some more strength! I'm gonna need as much as possible if I'm going to kill those damn chieftains!"
Strength: 23
And this caused my inventory to increase to 200!
You have [0] remaining Perk Points!
"Looks like that's it! Let me check out what it looks like so far!"

After looking at my new stats, I felt a sense of confidence and determination about the pending battle that was about to occur.
"Looks like I'm all good, I might need to invest in Dexterity in the future but I think it's alright for now."
I then drew my scythe again and holstered my torn grimoire to my hip, I then looked at myself and came to another realization, "I might need to invest in some armor too, the only thing I'm wearing is these ragged old prison pants."
I then called for the shop, "Open the baza--"
All of sudden, time went back into normal speed and I heard the hearkening cries of goblins ring in my ears!
RAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHH!
"Damn it! I ran out of time!" I immediately saw the hordes of Goblins becoming furious with all the slain bodies embellishing the battle ground.
"Looks like all the valor and honor they once had went completely out of the window."
I then shouted onto the opposing hordes, "Come at me, I'll cut every single one of you down!"
My body felt lighter and more nimble, power and mana swelled up inside of me and I could "sense" every living creature around me. It was like I could feel all their emotions bursting out in fury, a chill ran down my spine as I experienced this.
However there was something else I saw when I peered into the eyes of all those who stood against me, "Is that blue fire?"
As I concentrated my focus onto inhabitants of the battlefield, I saw many strange blue fires around, and they all varied in different sizes. The only way I could describe it was being a "fount" of life that existed within them. And not only were the blue fires inside the hearts of every living thing, but also "stray" fires in random places on the battlefield. The stray fires were just stagnant, and almost smolders?
"There's so many blue fires around, is that what they call spirit?"
For the time being, I will recognize this strange blue phenomenon as spirit. I have more important things to think about.
I brandished my scythe before the incoming assault, the goblins cried and roared as they rapidly approached me!
"Bring it on, I'll exterminate every single one of you bastards!" I rallied up my morale, and readied my stance for an attack!
"I'm escaping this hell, even if it kills me... again."
Time limit: 11 minutes, 9 seconds left...
