‘This one is to be expected, and I know Gael said that rarity doesn’t necessarily equal strength, how the hell am I gonna be proud of a common class? Like come on, my pride as a swordsman won’t allow it!’

‘Okay this one is obviously off the table, though if I wanted a more quiet life, I might have considered this.’

‘Again no, though that last part about teaching being the highest form of learning is interesting… something to think about later I suppose.’

‘Yeah no, I am not becoming some baldy in a robe meditating in a temple, no thanks!’

‘Hmmm, this one is interesting at least. If I was planning to join some sort of army this class may make me a valuable asset.’

‘Ok now were talking! This one is definitely closer to my style. Kind of a boring description if I’m being honest though, not that I care. Sometimes simple is best. Now on to the real meat and potatoes!’

‘Ok why the hell did the system give me this one? I only talk to my sword sometimes… ok maybe I do slightly deserve it. Doesn’t mean I’m picking though!’

‘Wow, this one is… interesting. I don’t exactly know if it’s my cup of tea though. A bit too serious for my liking.’

‘Yup this one is the one, exactly what I want in a class. It sounds like it will play off my willpower too, which is definitely a bonus. On top of all that, it just sounds cool too! I’ll check out the other options but this one is gonna be tough to beat.’

‘Yep no thanks, though this one does sound interesting. Better understanding my sword is a goal of mine, but do I really want to dedicate my whole class to it? No thanks.’

‘Ok so these are the ones Gael was talking about, the risky ones that could kill me if I act contradictory to it. The Temperance class is worth thinking about though. After all, my Temperance mastery is already quite high, so adhering to that class may not be to bad. Greed on the other hand, sounds like a no go to me. To me its seems like a class like this will only lead to bad endings.’

‘Wow a legacy class? I don’t know though, it sounds to me like the class won’t use skills. Why would I pick a class that hinders me like that? Who the hell wants a class that gives me no skills?! Why would a person who ascended make a class like this?’

My head begins to hurt from all the questions this class is causing me.

‘He must have made it for a reason right? This is his ultimate legacy after all, permanently imprinting himself into the system before he ascends. No way he would just make a class that disallows skills for no reason, right?’

I look back at the epic class I was thinking about taking earlier, and when I look at it in comparison to the legacy class, I don’t know, it just feels… wrong. Like it doesn’t fit me like the legacy class does. It feels like it was made for me.

‘Is this the feeling Gael was talking about? This gut feeling I get when I look at the legacy class? But objectively it should be the worse option.’ I think to myself before sighing.

‘Who the hell am I kidding, I know what class I’m taking, no point in being indecisive about it now. Gut feelings are the way to go here according to Gael, so maybe I’m missing something here. Only one way to find out.’

‘Seeing this, I decide to put this into dexterity and agility.’

<7 AP acquired from class level up.>

‘Ugh yet another important decision.’ I bemoan.

‘Alright lets go down the list of stats, starting with strength. For me this is a probable no, just because my philosophy has always been skill rather than raw power.’

‘Agility is definitely an option. It would allow me to move around a fight quicker and would also do wonder for any ambushes I plan to do. Though high agility without a high perception is just asking to get caught in a trap before I even realize what’s happening.’

‘Now dexterity, on the other hand, is the one I’m most inclined to upgrade. It’s the stat that most improves my swordsmanship, as it gives an increase to coordination and more tactile feedback from my hands.

‘I’m also interested to see what an enhanced dexterity would look like. Would it just give me MORE coordination, or would it do something else.’

‘Perception would also be a good shout, increasing my reaction time would be a huge boon in fights, allowing for even quicker responses to attacks.’

‘Intelligence is a definite no, as I’m not a magic user, though the increased IQ and EQ would be much appreciated.’

‘Willpower also could be good, increasing my tenacity, but I mostly use willpower as a dump stat, that, in the future, will buff my other stats and provide temporary buffs to me… hopefully anyway.’

After thinking on it for another minute or two, I decide to increase my dexterity. This is for many reasons, but the main one being I just want to be a better swordsman. I want to be in complete control of my sword and my body.

Immediately I feel a tingling all over my body, like small itches all throughout the inside and outside of my body. It’s not exactly comfortable, but it’s not unbearable either.

After a few minutes of this, it suddenly stops and I reassess myself.

It feels alien how well I can control my body. I feel like my body is a well programed robot that does exactly as I want it before I even realize I want it.

I itch myself before I even process the itch, I walk before I even process that I want to walk. It’s somewhat… unnerving.

‘This is going to get some getting used to.’ I sigh mentally.

Before I can walk over to the rest of the crew, I get one more notification.

‘What the hell?! A message? From a person who ascended? Is this normal for legacy classes? If so, why didn’t Gael tell me about it?’
